WILL SUE THE CITY.
r. e. Kirby Severely Injured by Fall
ing Into Kansas Avenue Chasm.

The chasms and precipices which
yawn in the asphalt pavement on Kan
sas avenue have at last claimed their
victim.
r. E. Kirby of lilo West Sixth ave-
nue., while riding along Kansas avenue
Thursday afternoon at $3.50 on his wheel.
went over the brink of a particularly
nasty chasm which exists in front of
the Central drug store at 610 Kansas
avenue and sustained severe injuries in
addition to wreclxing his bicycle.
Kirby became bewildered in trying to
successfully dodge between the cavern
Gus depths which existed on every side
and as the result was over the edge
and lying at the bottom of the canyon
before he realized what had happened
He slowly and painfully picked himself
up and started to drag himself up the
face of the walls of his temporary pris-
on and finally reached the brink With
infinite care he threaded his way be-
tween the far reaching depths and
reached the sidewalk in safety. He sat
down for moment to recover himself
and mop his brow. The nervous strain
mingled with the pain of his bruises
had nearly exhausted him. Gathering
himself together he reached the office
of a physician where his wounds were
dressed. A sprained wrist, a bruised
shoulder and a face all marked up with
scratches was the sum total of the in
juries on examination. In addition the
fork of the bicycle was broken by the
force of the impact
Kirby says that he will institute dam
age proceedings against the city and is
now in consultation with his attorneys
with such an action in view.

NO DANGER OF FEVER HERE.
So Says T. L. Barns Who Has Been
Through an Epidemic.

Tom L. Barns, steward of the Elk
club, is one of the few persons in the
city who can appreciate the condition
of the citizens of the yellow fever in
fected district of the south. In 1888 he
went south as a medical student and
while on the water the yellow fever
broke out aboard the boat upon which
he was a passenger and carried off
the captains wife as well as several of
the crew. In speaking of the conditions
liable to bring about yellow fever this
far north he said: There is but little
danger of an outbreak of the fever as
far north as this city. In this part of
the country the conditions which
would be favorable to the yellow fever
germs would probably produce an
epidemic of smallpox or diphtheria or
other diseases rather than the fever
We do not have enough hot, sultry,
damp weather to make the conditions
of this section favorable to yellow
fever.
1.-The outbreak of yellow fever in
New Orleans that year was traced di-
rectly to the bad pavements, holes had
been worn in them and the damp earth
and filth with which they became
filled offered an exceptionally fine
breeding ground for the fever germs"

STILL SPREADING.

FIFTY CASES OUTSIDE
Noon yellow fever report:

New cases in New Orleans since 6
o'clock Thursday, 12; total cases today,
759; deaths today, 8; total deaths. 1871
There are practically no change in the
fever situation in New Orleans today.
While the reports of new cases continue
at record figures and show that the dis
ease is spreading, the death rate con-
tinues to decrease. There are SO cases
under treatment in Louisiana outside
New Orleans. There is no fever in Ala
bama or Mississippi, the suspicious
sickness reported yesterday at two
points in the latter state being diagnosed
as malaria. 4....-
New Orleans, Aug. 1.-THE fever sit
uation shows no material change today.
The record ofnew cases is at h1ghWater
mark. The federal surgeons are not in
the least surprised at the number and
DR.. White expects a large report daily
for some time yet. He believes that the
totals in the last days report indicate
that the physicians are falling IN line
and reporting their cases.
He expects as result that the extra
ordinary work which is being done
will begin to show much more clearly
than might otherwise be expected. AS
long as the deaths are kept down the
authorities will be free from alarm over
the situation.
DR.. Tichnor and the nurses sent from
here are at Bon Ami and confidence is
being restored there. Conditions are not
so bad as they were expected to be. The
colored population of Franklin, La, the
home of Senator Foster, have set fine
example. They have held a mass meet
ing and volunteered to clean the whole
town under the supervision of a white
foreman.
Reports from Texas say tnat d. Ia
10 xxriSI haT freight from
here carried by the Southern Pacific but
that passengers are slipping across the
line on freight trains and that if the
road does not put stop to the practice
there will be a revival of the embargo
against freight. $50
Among the cases reported are three
in the French asylum on st. Ann, be-
tween Roman and Derbigny.

Food of Root TubercIe Bacteria.

AS yet our scientists know but lit
tie regarding the great world OF bac'
terra that has been opened to us IN
this generation. We have supposed
that the tubercles on the roots of pod
bearing plants were supplied their
nitrogen by the bacteria, which took
it from the earth and from the air
When lime has been added to soils
the bacteria have in many cases been
more vigorous, but this was judged to
be due to the naturalization of acid by
the lime. 1t may be, however, that
these bacteria actually use lime and
magnesium as a part of their food A
French professor, H. Flamand, has
been making some experiments in the
development of tubercles with wa
ter cultures. The different kinds OF
pod-bearing plants behaved very diff
ferently. Thus, vetches refused to
produce tubercles, unless they were
supplied with magnesium, while both
vetches and beans showed they must
have either lime or magnesium if they
were to produce tubercles. Potash
salts and lime salts stimulated the de-
velopment Of the root tubercles. Now
the question is, do the bacteria re-
quire these elements for food?

Scales on the Farm.

So far as possible, farming opera
lions should be reduced to an exact
science The old ways of feeding by
guess and even buying and selling by
guess should give way to weighing
and measuring everything. In the
feeding Of grains and ground grains,
scales rather than measures should
be depended upon. Different kinds OF
grains vary greatly in their weight,
and if a man tries to measure them
out he is sure to give more at one
time than at another. Some of the
brans on the market differ exceeding
ly in this respect. Some of them are
very light, being hardly more than the
hull of the wheat, while others are
quite heavy and consist largely of
middlings. If man has scales, he
can very easily feed about the same
amount of food each day, and there
fore become better informed as to the
requisite food required to produce a
certain effect. Scales can now be
bought at very low price, and few
dollars invested in scales will give
good returns indirectly for many
years to come.
