Hydrophobia.

From the New York Sun.
In spite of all that has been written by
eminent scientists like Virchow, Won Ziems-
sen and Pasteur about hydrophobia as a
virulent and fatal disease to which animals
and man are liable, and in spite of the es-
tablishment of institutes for prophyiactic
treatment, the opinion that the true hydro
phobia is of rare occurrence and that what
is generally taken for it is the result of an
overworked Imagination obtains among
many physicians who have made the SUBJ
ject study of their professional careers.
Laymen who have had the care of dogs
in large numbers or who have sold them
as a means of livelihood are the most
sceptical about the danger of rabies. For
the symptoms usually associated with the
malady in the animal they have an ex-
PLANTATION which would be simple and ra-
tional enough If the sufferer were human
being, and except to wash the wound with
a healing soap acid they make light of
the bite of a dog. But not being scientific
persons, their judgment goes for nothing,
although their experience cannot be alto
gether disregarded. 1t is easy enough to
say in answer to their incredulity that the
dogs which attacked them did not have
rabies. The question remains, how often
or rather how seldom, do dogs supposed to
be mad have the dreaded disease?
In the. last number of Our Dumb Ami
mails are collected some expressions of
doubt by professional men whose standing
entities them to respectful hearing Prof.
Charles K. Mills of the University Of Penn

declares that although he has taken special
pains to find "a Gear case of hydrophobia''
in human subject he has never succeeded
President Theophilus Parvin of the National
Academy of Medicine testifies that in forty
four years of practice he has never seen a
real case of hydrophobia, but he has seen
many cases of hysteria which were wanton-
ly ignorantly called hydrophobia. Dr.
Joseph w. Hearn, professor Of clinical sur
gerry in the Jefferson Medical College, makes
this unqualified statement: II have never
seen a case of hydrophobia either in man or
dog nor do 1 know any other physician or
surgeon who has DR.. Edward c. Spitzka
the New York alienist after a painstaking
investigation Of many alleged cases of n.y.
drophobia declares that notwithstanding
every effort he has made ito secure the OBJ
servation of rabies in man or dog not a

Cases may be found in the books-indeed
the literature of the subject is copious
enough-but it is a fair conclusion that
panic fright, and not deadly virus. Is the
cause of most of the deaths attributed to
hydrophobia.

From the bUStOH 1fuHsCfIpt.
Since physicians connected with certain
watering places in Germany have found
many microbes in the dust lodging on
women's trailing skirts. proprietors of the
cures" have deemed 1t advisable to impose
fines upon women who offend the public
health by wearing such apparel. OF course
the reform has been resented in many
moods and in many tones of voice, but the
fines have been paid, and there is some
probability that all the cures will provide
similar rules. The subject has long been
seriously regarded. but this attitude toward
it is the most emphatic that has ever been
taken by those having authority.

HISTORY OF PAPER-MAKING
HISTORY OF PAPER-MAKING
Chinese and Japanese Used Cotton,
Straw and Wood Fibers-Mechani-
cal and Chemical Processes.

The paper you hold in your hand as you
read this is made of wood. 1t is the product
of a ground-up or macerated tree and if
you look very closely you can see the wood
fibers, like small splinters. all through the
paper, but more discernible in the margins
where the printing does not cover the sur
face. And not only are all newspapers made
of wood-pulp, but so are almost all other
papers. Book papers are generally made
from wood; so are wall papers, cheap writ
ing papers, wrapping papers and a variety
of others. But the main use of wood-pulp
paper is for printing. A clever statistcian
has calculated how many acres of forest go
into a "best-seller," and the resultant fig
ures are appalling, especially when one re-
allies that the wood used is practically all
of one kind, spruce, found chiefly in the
northeastern United States and in Canada.
Paper always has been made from vegeta-
BILE fiber. Material for receiving printed or
written characters have not always been of
paper; the Assyrians used clay tablets, me-
diaeval Europe used parchment made from
sheepskin. But paper, by its very derivation
from the Egyptian 'papyrus," the plant
from which the oldest known paper was
made, Is of vegetable origin, and Is now
made principally of rags, wood, straw and
like substances, the rags themselves being
generally of cotton or flax
The demand for paper has made the sup
ply problem one that has grown and is
growing rapidly. There has never been an
era like the present for cheap printed mat
ter. THIS is the day OF the newspaper; the
newspaper uses wood-pulp paper. The
drain upon the spruce forests is so great
that there may be a famine of that wood
Therefore effort is being made to get
another wood to replace tia hard thing to
do, since spruce is admittedly superior to
others.
Search for. Paper Material
Since paper making began there has been
a constant search for paper material. Egypt
has an ideal plant for its own uses in the
papyrus. Its paper was not made by re-
ducing the plant TO a mass and then spread
ing 1t out into sheets of pressure The stem
was split, the outer layers were peeled off
and their edges glued together to form
long sheets. The papyrus stems also fur
nished material for sails, mats. cloth and
cords; the pith was used for food sandals
We're made OF a material provided by papy-
rus, and the seams of ships were calked
with tow made from it.

Thomas Jenerson's Bible.

The Jefferson Bible. with its beauti-
ful red Morocco binding, made no little
trouble in the House while ii was 4
single forgotten volume repOsing under
lock and key at the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition. Now that it has been photo
graphed and reproduced in numerous
copies, the little volume has multiplied
care for the Senate. Hardly man of
the ninety but has had thousands of
requests for the book. and more are
coming in by every mail.
1t seems that some enterprising bust
ness man advertised the Jefferson
Bible prominently in a well-known
magazine. He announced that it could
be had for nothing if one would write
TO ones Senator or Member of Con
gress, concluding his advertisement
with the further statement that he had
gone to considerable expense i'm having
the advertisement printed, and hoped
readers would turn to his business an
nouncement on another page.
SO ii is that requests are rolling in
upon Senators especially, for the pub
lie seems to have taken the idea that
they are more legitimate prey than
gentlemen at the other end of the
Capitol. Each Senator's quota is but
thirty copies. and the only good way
out of the dilemma appears to be to
print more. just as Congress has done
with the horse book and other popu-
lar Government publications. Better
send for one before the second reprint
is all distributed.
