Collecting Voices.

Collections of voices are being made
for various purposes. The phono-
grams of the British Museum are de-
signed to preserve for future genera
tions the voices of famous people of
our time; but the Vienna Academy of
Science is going further, and seeks
phonograms of languages and dialects
for the comparative study of Ian
guages. Already its collection includes
popular songs Of Gipsies and Arabians,
favOrite airs of Red Indian tribes, the
idioms of negroes and Malays, and SO
on. 1t is sending out special voice
hunting expeditions every year, and its
agents are now securing Australasia,
Roumania, Istria and other localities.
Its latest plan is to phonograph the
voices of animals for scientific study.

NORWAY AND SWEDEN.
Protocol Signed for Treaty to Divide
the Kingdoms.

Stockholm, Sept. 2G-The Assoc-

protocol signed at Karlstad Saturday
by the Norwegian-Swedish delegates
appointed to arrange the terms for the
dissolution of the union of Norway and
Sweden, subject to the ratification of
the Riksdag and Storthing.
The historic document, which will
become a treaty when ratified by the
two parliaments, consists of five main
articles and twenty-five sub-clauses.
The first article deals with arbitra.
tions; the second with the neutral
zone and the demolition of the fortifica-

of ten years unless two years previous
notice is given of an intention to abro-
gate it.
The treaty provides for zone on
either side of the frontier which shall
forever be neutral and for the demoli-

with the exception of the old portions
of the Notifications of Fredericksten.

YELLOW FEVER GERM
DISCOVERY NOW ANNOUNCED
Physicians Can New Identify the Dis
ease in Its Earliest Stages
Success Of New Orleans
Experiments.

New O, leans, La. Sept. 26.-The yel-
low fever germ has been discovered.
Careful tests during four weeks in the
Emergency hospital by Drs. p. f.
Archinard. j. Bierney and Guthrie and
Prof. j. c. Smith, a biologist. have re-
suited III the discovery, Identification
and positive proof OF the germ, which,
after conveyance by the stegomyia
mosquito, causes yellow fever in all
persons into whose blood it enters.
In nearly dozen cases yellow fever
was diagnosed on the appearance of
the germ in the patients blood, al
though there was no other signs of yel-
low fever.
This is said by physicians to be one of
the most important discoveries in the
field of medicine for fifty years, or
since Pasteur made his famous expert
ments with cholera.
Any physician, it is stated. can now
identify the disease in its first stages,
before the well-defned symptoms have
appeared. 1t is said to furnish an alb
solute and indisputable test of the
scourge of the tropics and cannot be
confounded with the germs which re-
semble yellow fever in its first stage
lS ltIS HlotOly Vi tie VI
which DR.. Archinard found was fol-
lowed and its presence in the blood
of yellow fever patients confirmed.
Then diagnosis was made by the mi
croscope of the blood of every patient
who came into the hospital, and since
this was done the later diagnosis has
shown the symptoms of yellow fever.
In some cases the patient when ex-
amined showed no symptoms whatever
of the fever, but in every case when
the microscopic diagnosis revealed the
germ the patient, within one. two or
three days, developed albumen and a
jaundiced condition of the skin, show.
ing characteristic clinical picture of
yellow fever. A physician of the Ma
rine hospital service said to-day:
| THE profound Significance of this
discovery cannot well be overesti-
mated. Its benefit to the South and to
| humanity is great. 1t gives an accu,
| rate and scientific method of investi-
eating the mild cases which occur ev-
cry summer and which physicians are
reluctant to diagnose as yellow fever.
Any physician, with the aid of the
| microscope, can recognize the germ
even before its becomes destructive"
