Parasite of Smallpox.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe
The annual report of the medical officer
of health for st. Marylebone takes cogniz-
ance OF Dr. Korte's famous discovery last
year of the parasite of smallpox. which. 1t
is hoped, will greatly facilitate the treat
ment of this scourge. Smallpox often pre-
SCENTS Itself in form which is extremely
difficult of Identification. but this discovery
renders II possible to refer an obscure case
10 the microscopic and bacteriologist, who
should at once be able TO trace the para
site and define the disease.
In the words OF DIR. A. Wynter Blyth, the
author of the report. the parasite is seen
as an amoeboid body of extreme delicacy,
easily ruptured by drying or by pressure;
hence the failure hitherto to render IL Wis
ible - the ordinary processes. These bodies
have no definite form when living. for they
are constantly changing their shape. The
amoeba contains large number of minute
spores and Is only to be distinguished from
that OF chickenpox by Its susceptibility to
the action OF certain staining reagents.
The Importance of DIR. Kortes discovery
in municipal sanitary work cannot easily
be exaggerated. since the spread Of small
pox Is often due to the fact that ID Is not
recognized in Its early stages. $ Ii Is. how
ever. not recent. and independent i1yesti-

Superintendent l.. II. Zinkhan of the Dis

Police Court judges this morning to see
about the release of more wOrkhouse prison.
ers in order to make more room for others
committed by the two branches of the
court. He brought a list of fifty-eight pris-
oners. whose terms of confinement will ex-
pre within the next two weeks. and who
are serving in the workhouse for the first
time. By order of Judge kimball and act
ing Judge Neal, these prisoners will be
released this afternoon.
Mr. Zinkhan said this morning that the
workhouse was overcrowded. There are
now :}35 prisoners at the workhouse. not
including those committed today from the
two courts. The release of the tifty-eight
ordered today will be nearly offset by to-
days fifty commitments.
Everything possible is being done at the
workhouse for the accommodation of the
prisoners In the old section, where the cells
are larger, the prisoners are being doubled

but cots have been provided and the pris-
Oners are KEEP, in the corridors Work can

Electric Power at Niagara Falls.
From the Iron Age.

From the Iron Age
On August %. ten years ago. the Niagara
Falls Power Company sent out its initial
supply OF electric power to its first GUS
toner, the Pittsburg Reduction Company.
This was for the operation of the upper
plant of the reduction company, which was
the first factory to be located on the power
company's lands: The second block OF pow
er was supplied TO the Carborundum Conn
pany about a month later. Today the
power company's consumers are numbered
by the hundred. nearly all the factories OF
Niagara Falls and many in Buffalo and at
Intervening points being operated by this
cOmpanys power. The electric power de-
velopment has resulted in the location of
many new electro-chemical Industries In
proximity to the falls and has doubled the
popula tion OF the city. The original capac-
ity of the power plant was 10000 electrical
horse power. which has since been doubled.
In addition to the Niagara Falls Power
Company two other power companies have
come into existence on the American side
and three on the Canadian side of the river
with plants having an available capacity oil
nearly 600 900 horse power.

Field of Astronomy.

AASAo "a &AotA oi1ouy.
The next great step forward in enlighten-
ment, Mr.. Cargill now notes. is from the
field of astronomy to that of geology, and
here we come to Sir Charles LyelI who
died in 1879 at the age of seventy-eight:
The most important portions of Lyell's
work We're done after he had passed forty
years; complete and sweeping revisions and
engagements of his earlier work were done
late In life, and even down to within three.
days before his death, at the age of sew
enty-eight years. he finished a revision of
his Principles of Geology work which
amazed and electrified scientists of all ma
tons. and remains today the unchallenged
great textbook in that field. Lyelrs Is the
broadcast and best-balanced mind which has
dealt with deep-lying geological problems
In effect he may be said to have created
the science of geology. His work marked
the second epoch in the thought of man
kind. supplying the needed second link In
the chain of evidence of planetary eyoIu-
ton. He applied in geology the principle
of gradual development to the earth's crust,
which Laplace and Kant had previously
wrought in astronomy concerning sun sys-
| TENS and planets; which Darwin accom-
plished afterward in biology for living
| forms and organic nfe and Spencer
achieved for psychology in human con-
seriousness and thought, and for sociology in
human society and government

with Lyelfs work planetary evolution

years he devoted himself almost wholly to

| work which was to come afterward. The
| Origin of Species. written at the age Of
| nifty. sounded the farthest depths OF bioiog-
| icai knowledge and created such a whirl-
wind or controversy as no other book has
done. His Descent of Man. written at the
age of sixty-two. was not less remarkable
and had an effect almost as widespread and
profound. No man then living either

Herbert Spencer.

We now come to ''the latest of this re-
markable group of Investigators Herbert
Spencer, who was elghty-three when he
died:
"Spencer's mind did not begin its func-
lions until he was well on into the forties
He was storing up until then-his mind was
incubating. as 1t were. At forty he had
made merely a rough outline program of
his Synthetic Philosophy, which massive
work he was to carry out triumphantly in
hix ripper and broader years. First PrIn-
clples,' the first work in the series, was fin
ished when he was forty-two years old :
Principles of Psychology when he was
ffty-two: Principles of Sociology when he
was fifty-six and one of the greatest in his
ethics series, Justice came at the age of
seventy-one. He was close upon eighty
when his monumental Synthetic Philos-
ophy' was completed. and the person had
not yet appeared who has discovered any
diminution of his powers from the earlier
work to the last page of the final volume"
