Disease in Books.
From American Medicine.


Diseases carried by books of public IL
braries occupied the attention of the Paris
Academy of Medicine. according to recent
dispatches. 1t was reported that 1t had
been experimentally determined that certain
dried organisms retained vitality ON the
leaves Of books. those of cholera two DAVIS
diphtheria twenty eight days. typhoid fifty
days. and those of tuberculosis at least
three months. 1t was stated that many
cases Of tuberculosis, particularly among
students and clerks, were contracted from
the books they handled. While not pre-
pared to agree entirely with this statement.
yet it is evident that library books can
carry infection and are a source of some
danger at least. We are VIGOROUSLY care
less In lending literature to invalids, even
those with highly contagious diseases, and
though the risk may be slight it s not wise
to take 1t IL avofdable. We do not sterilize
money, but no sensible man ever puts
money In his mouth any more-it may have
been In the mouth of a syphiiitic short
time before. But it Is well to think over
the proposition to sterilize library books.
and find that the best of several methods
tried was sterilization by fifteen minutes
exposure to formaldehyle in hermeticalIyt
sealed cases. Even IL we do not adopt the
suggestion, we need not stop patronizing
the libraries as 1t is extremely doubtful if
we can bring in true bill against the
books very Otter. Even the organisms
which resist drying are likely to drop of
or be blown off.

Bank Statement,
Dresses Of Spider Web.
From Chambers Journal.

From Chambers JOURNAL
The worm is proyerbially the last OF
create dthings to turn against the tyranny
of those who seek to coerce 1t, and the
silkworm Is evidently no exception to the
rule, for 1t has for ages been patiently
laboring to crafty human vanity. Not so
the spider, however. whose beautiful silk
has not yet been similarly applied simply
because that Willy beast refuses to work
to order. But determined onslaught upon
his pride and prfjudices has been made In
Madagascar, where regular factory has
been started to make silk dresses from
spider web. The old difficulty has still to
DO faced, however, and time alone Will
show whether man or spider is to be the
victor. The spiders, which spin luxuriously
In their native groves sulk or fight or de-
YOUR their young or otherwise amuse them
selves when brought to the factory; but
they viii not work except just occasionally
when the mood happens to strike them
Then they sometimes spin for days at q
time. and die OF overworlx. Their habits
and customs are being carefully studied
and II only they win do what is required
Of them they will be made as comfortable
as circumstances will permit Altogether
1t Is the prettiest little parlor; perhaps the
spider may yet be induced to walk in and
favor the proprietor with those silk dresses
Tor which the world Is stili waiting.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 26.-Todays abbre-
Waited business session was marked by a
number of wide and erratic fluctuations in
prices. The dealings reflected for the most
part the usual weekend closing out of the
commitments of professional traders. the
business of commission houses being vir-
tually at standstill. There was an utter
absence of news over night of general or
particular importance aside from the rou-
tine reports of the mercantile agencies
upon the state Of the country's trade, and
these were highly gratifying exhibits.
The London stock market closed with
rather weak tone, and foreign houses were
sellers here. although upon an inconsider-
able scale. 1t seemed to be the common
expectation that the bank statement would
make rather weak showing. and these
views apparently had something to do with
shaping professional sentiment.
Reading common stock again furnished
a dispropor tionate quota of the days total
transactions, and the fluctuations in that
stock were particularly wide.
Observers of the dealings concurred in ex-
pressing the opinion that a large part Of
the short interest in the stock had been
eliminated In yesterdays violent rise, and
also thought that the same observation was
applicable to many other of the active is
sues. The dealings were upon a fair scale
of activity for half holiday. and reflected
quite general distribution of interest.
Some Railways Firm.
The Wabash issues were all exceptionally
firm on quite positive but unconfrmed re-
ports that agreement had finally been
reached which provided for the retirement
of the debenture 3D. bonds. 1t was impos-
sible to obtain any official verification of
the details Of the transaction they were
circulated and previous statements to the
same general effect have already been con-
tradicted
Pennsylvania was another stock which
was relatively firm, and short interest in
that case apparently was taking advantage
of the heaviness of the general market to
curtail commitments.
The chief feature of the Industrial and
miscellaneous group was the sharp rise in
United States Realty and Improvement, on
the announcement that one of its subsidiary
companies had obtained the contract for the
construction of the Pennsylvania tunnel on
7th avenue.
For the most part. however, no news or
gossip of interest accompanied the trading
in any particular security.
The loss in actual cash shown in the
bank statement Is somewhat in excess of
the preliminary estimates, but in other
spects the items tailed fairly well with the
general expectations.
Cash decreased 81 ,9e0, coo and the loan ac-
count rose S. 668, coo. These changes were
only approximately reflected in the deposit
account, which increased 5S9S, 600. Conse-
quently surplus reserves decreased So, 49,,
600, and they now stand at So, 694,O 900. The
increase In the loan account was commonly
issues of railway securities during the cur
rent week. Surplus reserves nj the CORE
spending week of last year were S11, 465, 600,
in 1904 $4,000. 900. and in 1903 $9,64o.00O.

Sons Of the Horse Leech.

The daughters of the horse ieech, whose
cry is Give! Giver' are as nothing for
number and pertinacity to the sons thereof.
The hope of getting something for nothing
is that brightens the path of many a
plodder along the dusty way of life: from
the waiter. who has just fetched in tho
rolls and coffee, to the president of the in
suranee company, all men seem bent on
achieving personal advantage aside from
the matter of wage and hours. In certain
circles this determination results in graft
vulgar word, adapted from the argot of
the professionally dishonest; I'm certain
other circles ii becomes high finance; in yet
others 1t is philanthropy.
We go TO public meeting, and instead
of listening to inspiring reports on the well
fare of the republic, and the party, and thu

pect more than is coming to them.

Galveston as a Great Gateway.


For the fiscal year 1905 which ended on
June so last, the ports of the United States
stood in this order in value of exports:
New York. New Orleans, Galveston, Balti-

Francisco and Puget Sound Seattle and Ia

But for the calendar year 1906 which end

calender Gale year 1903 New Yorks exports were
1865 ,O000 00 Galveston's $3.50 eco 600 and
New Orleans 1000. 900. For three years
the race had been close between New Or
leans and Galveston. but now the Texas
port has gone to the front and is likely to
stay there. In exports Of cotton, cotton
seed products and wheat Galveston leads

ports of the world. As an exporting point
for corn. livestock lumber, Iron ore and
other products it Is making great strides
forward. As the trans Mississippi region
produces 60 per cent of the products we
export. and as Galveston Is the only port
Of any consequence between the big river
and the Rocky mountains. her future as a
great gateway to the rest Of the world is
assured.

The trading at today's meeting of the
stock exchange was marked by continue
ton OF the recovery from lower levels on
the part OF the securities of the public
utility corporations that had been caused
by the recent action of the Senate District
committee. The railway stocks showed
good progress In that direction. The bid
for the preferred stock of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company rose to sSas
for one thousand shares. while for the COM
mon stock Al was bid for any part of ten
thousand shares.
There was more done IN gas stock then
In any other in this particular list, and
the sales reached as high as 60Es. which
Is quite a complete recover from the re-
cent Shock to speak. One hundred
share lots were dealt in, both in regular
transfers and in options.
A notable advance was made both in the
case of the stock of the Washington Lean
and Trust Co. and In that OF the CONNER
cial Bank. The bid for the latter jumped
ten points as compared with the bid of
yesterday after a sale had been made of
ten shares at 1876.
In the case of the stock of the trust COM
pany the advance was about five points.
but only two ten-share lots were brought
out. There Is no explanation given of the
change in the figures in either case except
both institutions are doing good business
and also 1t is thought by some that the
recent holders of the stock of the trust
company want a higher level
Some of the stock of the National City
Bank changed hands at 1876 and more was
wanted at the same price, but it was not
to be had.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The effect or current market values of
the securities Of the public utility corpora
tons In this city of the proposition which
came from the Senate District committee
to increase the amount OF taxes to be paid
to the District by these corporations is
shown to some extent at least By table
giving the closing bid prices for the securi-
ties on the days mentioned.
This project was not generally known I'M
til Wednesday. and It was after the meeting
OF the exchange en- Thursday the Senate de-
cided to return the bill to the COMMITTEES.
There were therefore two days only. when
1t was thought that such q measure would
be among the acts OF the present session.
