REAL ESTATE MARKET

Brown Bros. &c Co., in commenting yes
terday on the rea. estate market. made
the following statement:
I'm our judgment the condition of the
real estate market in Birmingham is bet
ter today than 1t has been in the last five
years, and, we believe, It is better than
ever before in the history Of the city
There Is a general and well sustained
demand for property OF all kinds through
out the city. Trading has been, and stin
is, strong and steady. Among the de-
mands or inquiries for property, large
number come from persons who live out
side Of Birmingham.
This Is a most hopeful indication for
1t strengthens the belief that Birmingham
Is more and more attracting the atten-
ton of persons from abroad who are
seeking homes anu investments in this
city or district.
within the last tnirty or sixty days
these inquiries and demands/ have been
unprecedentedly heavy. and sales have
been numerous and on b large scale.
Within the last week Bro1l Bros. & Co.
alone have negotiated and executed sales
amounting to $4,000.
Indications are plentiful that the tone
of the market will continue strong and
the year 1905 win be a record-breaker In
the local real estate field. Prices are con-
stantly advancing and there Is no likeli-
hood that there will. be a decline in values
1T is encouraging to note that the yell
low fever afflictioa in certain sections
south of Birmingham has not in any
sense affected unfavorably the real es-
tate market here. Homeseekers, investors
and wage earners-in fact the whole fnan-
cial and social world-tave abundant and
abiding confidence in the continued

our experiments in 1900 and 1901, in which
three young Americans slept for twenty
consecutive nights in a room from which
mosquitoes were excluded garnished with
articles soiled with discharges from IA
tai and other cases of yellow fever. Three
and four large boxes were packed and
unpacked each morning by these non-im-
munes, who suffered no disturbance of
health from these exposures. The room
was twenty feet by fourteen feet. double
walled, tightly sealed, heated to above
30 degrees Fahrenheit and dark.
1.-Two other non-immunes then occupied
the room for twenty nights, while addi-
tional articles of bedding and clothing
were added They slept in the garments
and between the sheets that had covered
cases of yellow fever, some of which
were fatal. The result of the second at
tempt was nil. A third attempt was then
made with two additional non-immunes
equally without success. Not the slight
est indsposition followed close and in
innate contact with this repulsive ma
terial in any case. Temperatures and
pulse rates were recorded at regular and
frequent intervals. -Four of these seven
non-immunes were subsequently infected
by blood injections and by means of In
fected mosquitoes

contained in the room had been previous

The only possible means of infection with
yellow fever was by infected mosquitoes,

fever promptly followed the introduction
of mosquitoes into the room.

bacteriology at the Army Medical school
He won high praise for his writings ana

causes of epidemic diseases at military
posts and IN milking sanitary inspections,
During the spanish-American war he
was elected at the head of a board to
study the eausaton and spread Of ty-

troops, and the report of the commission,
a monumental work, Is now In course of

YER
His great work In Cuba, In demonstrate
lng that yellow fever Is transmitted by
the mosquito, Is thus briefly described IN
n memoir published last year by the Will
ter Reed Memorial association ut WASH
ington.
Sent to Cuba.
I'm June, 1900. Major Reed was sent to
Cuba as president Of. a board to study
the infectious diseases of tho country,
but more especially yellow fever, Assoc
ciated with him were Acting Assistant
Surgeons James Carroll Jesse w. Lazsar
and A. Asramonte. At this time the
American authorities In Cuba had for n
year and a half endeaYored to diminish
the disease and mortality of the Cuban
towns by general sanitary work, but
while the health Of the population show
ed distinct Improvement and the NOR
tally had greatly diminished yellow
fever apparently had been entirely un-
affected by these measures In fact. ow-
ing to a large number of non-immune
foreigners, the disease was more frequent
than usual In Havana and in Quemados
nssr the camp of the American troops,
and many valuable lives of American Of
ficers and soldiers had been lost.
Reed was convinced from the first
would not check the disease, but mat it's
transmission was partly due to an in
sect.
THE fact that malarial fever, caused
by an animal parasite in the blood. is
transmitted from man to man through
tho agency of certain mosquitoes had
been recently accepted by the scientific
world also, several years before, Dr.
Carlos Finlay of Havana had advanced
the thory that mosquito conveyed the
unknown cause of yellow fever. but -
not succeed in demonstrating the truth of
his theory
Or, H. r. Carter of the Marine Hos
pital service had written a paper showing
that although the period of incubation
was only five days, yet house to which
patient was carried did not become in
fected for from fifteen to twenty days.
ITO Mr.. Reeds mind this indicated that
the unknown infective agent has to UNI
dergo a period of incubation of from ten
to fifteen days and probably in the body
of the biting insect!

Fever Leaves Havana.

In February, 1871, the cnlef sanitary
officer In Havana, Maj w. G. Gorgas.
medical department of the United States
army, Instituted measures to eradicate
the disease. based entirely on the con-
illusions of the commission. Cases of yell
low fever were required to be reported
as promptly as possible, the patient was
at first rigidly isolated, and Immediately
upon the report a force of men from the
sanitary department visited the house.
All the rooms of the building and of the
neighboring houses were sealed and fumi-
gated to destroy the mosquitoes present.
Window and door screens were put up
and after the death or recovery of the
patient his room was fumigated and
every mosquito destroyed. war Of ex-
termination was also waged against mo-
souitoes in general. and an energetic eff
fort made to diminish the number bred
by draining standing water, screening
tanks and vessels, using petroleum on
water that could not be drained, and in
the most systematic manner destroying
the breeding places of the insect.
when the warm season returned a

1901. the last case Of yellow fever origi-
mated in Havana, since which time the
CITY has been entirely exempt from the
terrible disease that had there kept
strong hold for $50 years. Cases are now
admitted into Havana from Mexican
ports. but are treated under screens with
perfect immunity in the ordinary city
hospitals. The crusade against the in
sects also caused a very large decrease
In malarlal fevers.
More recent Investigations into the
cause and spread of yellow fever have
only succeeded In verifying the work Of

tIcular and adding very little to our
knowledge of the disease.
