HYGIENE OF HUMAN MOUTH.
Many Annoying and Some Serious
Diseases Can Be Avoided
by Cleanliness.

A great many of the bacteria that
cause disease enter the body through
the mouth. Germs are always to be
found upon the gums. Those peculiar
to the contagious diseases have been
repeatedly discovered within the
mouths and threats of healthy per-
sons. Some of them persist for months
in individuals who are not susceptible
to Infection; but if, from exposure
physical exhaustion or ether cause.
susceptibility is developed, the germs
promptly produce illness.
There is also group of diseases
which affect only the mouth. The most
dangerous of these are known as
"ulcerative stomatitis" and mona
The former generally begins at the
junction of the lower gum and the
teeth, and may destroy the tissues
down to the bone. 1t is mighty con-
tagious. Mona begins on the inner
surface of the cheek, and causes ex-
tensive destruction. Its progress is so
rapid that it sometimes terminates
fatally within a few days unless
checked by vigorous treatment. 1t at
tacks delicate children or those who
are recovering from an acute disease,
particularly measles or diphtheria.
Fortunately it is comparatively rare,
but the possibility Of its occurrence
indicates the importance of frequent
cleansing of the mouth during illness.
According to the Youths Com
panion the less serious class of mouth
diseases includes several which, al
though not dangerous to life, are pain
full, and may prove injurious, especial
1y to children, by interfering with
mastication and impairing nutrition.
The simplest of them is characterized
only by redness, with perhaps a few
small ulcers on the tongue or lips. 1t
often results from neglect of the teeth
or the habit of introducing into the
mouth such improper substances as
pieces of wood or rubber. and in older
persons from the use of tobacco. Al
though it is generally of short dura-
ton, it is sometimes followed by other
more serious affections. The con-
tagious mouth diseases are often COM
municated from child to child by the
fingers or through the exchange Of
toys and pencils, or by the eating of
fruit and CONNECTIONS in common.
Decay of the teeth is due to the ac-
ton of bacteria which thrive upon the
remnants of food that adhere to the
gums and teeth after every meal I'M
less removed with the brush.
The infectious diseases cannot be
prevented with any degree of certainty
solely by attention to the mouth, but
those of local nature rarely attack
mucous membrane that has received
proper care.

MADE A SLIGHT MISTAKE.
Government Official Was Bound to
Get Right, But Again
Got Wrong.

"Whenever an unknown person of dis
tinguished appearance enters my office, |
am reminded of the experience of Frank
Vanderbilt" said a senator's secretary,
according to the Washington Star. When
Vanderlip was Secretary Cages private
secretary, before he got wei acquainted,
he paid little attention to the people he
did not know. One day member of the
cabinet called on Secretary Gage and was
ignored for some time by Vanderlip,
finally going into the private room un-
announced. The cabinet officer complained
to President Mckinley, and the president
mentioned it to Secretary, Gage, who
thereupon reprimanded Vanderlip.
The next day, Vanderlip turning over
a new leaf, one of the first persons to
enter was distinguished looking old fell
low with partriarchal beard. Vanderlio
received him with great consideration,
handed out chair, which the old fellow
took with gravity and some wonderment.
Seating himself opposite, Vanderlip asked,
with a most engaging smile, What can
l do for you, sir!'
oh, nothing, replied the visitor. 7

The Work of Ocean Currents.

We have been told of fossil rain and
fossil wind, and Prof. Stanislas Meunier
has now pointed out the existence Of
certain rocks of fossil ocean currents.
In many localities the stratified sand
and sandstone show peculiarly curved
and interlaced layers. This interlaced
structure is now to be seen in formation
by the river Seine, and the rivers of the
ocean have transplanted sand and mud
to deposit in their windings in a similar
way. If the seas were dried up the
course and history of the Gulf stream
and other currents might be traced in
these deposits. The sand and sandstone
of interlaced structure are found from
widely separated geological epochs, and
an interesting lesson taught by them is
that the ocean currents and their work
have been substantially the same at all
periods of the earth's evolution.

Studies in Light and Darkness.

Since 1896 the effects of light and dark
ness upon crustaceans, batrachians and
fishes have been studied in biological
laboratory of the catacombs of Paris. In
the underground portion of the labora-
tory animals accustomed to daylight are
kept constantly in darkness, while in a
section above ground cave animals are
kept in ordinary light. Life in darkness
brings gradual fading of color. The
organs of smell, touch and taste soon in
crease to three times their former size;
the eyes remain normal for a time, but
in fishes doubled in size at the end of
five years, though with loss of power
and evident coming atrophy. The size
of fishes becomes much reduced. The
cave animals show that light is disagree
able to them, and in few months devel-

TURN OVER TIME
When Nature Hints About Food.

When there's no relish to any food and
good then is the time to make a turn
over in the diet, for that's Natures way
of dropping hint that the food isn't the
kind required.
For number Of years I followed
railroad work, much of it being Office
work of a trying nature. Meal times
were our busiest and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is COM
monty served in hotels and restaurants,
these together with the sedentary habits
were not long in giving me dyspepsia
and s.cmach trouble which reduced nv
weight froJu 205 to 160 pounds.
"Therewas little relish in any food and
none of it seemed to do me any good. 1t
seemed the more ate the poorer got
and was always hungry before another
meal, no matter how much had eaten.
Then l commenced a fair trial of
eirape-Nuts and was surprised how
su~all saucer Of it would carry me along,
strong and with satisfied appetite, until
the next meal, with no sensations of
hunger, weakness or distress as before.
'T have been following this diet now
for several months and my improvement
has been so great all the others in my
family have taken uh the use of Grape

Fertilizer from the Air.

The problem of obtaining nitrogen
from the atmosphere for fertilizing the
land appears to have been solved, at
least from a scientific point of view, by
DR.. Erlwein, German experimenter.
His method is first to separate nitro
gen from oxygen by passing an air-cur-
rent over red-hot copper, when the oxy-
gen combines with metal, leaving the nj
trogen free. Then the nitrogen is caused
to combine in an electric furnace with
mixture of powdered charcoal and lime.
The product is black substance suit
able to be spread on the land, and pos
sessing the fertilizing properties of Chilli
saltpeter and potassium nitrate 1t re-
mains to be demonstrated that the new
fertilizer can be produced on a large
scale and at an economical cost.
