Wireless Railroad Signals.

The Prussian and Bavarian au-
thorities are experimenting with a
system of wireless telegraph signals
for railroads which is said to promise
good results. An aerial transmitter
wire is carried on the telegraph poles
at the side of the road with transmit
ting stations in the signal bell tow
ers, and wire loopantenna is placed
on the top of one of the cars of the
train. BY this means signals to stop, .
go ahead" go slow" and so on,
can be transmitted to moving trains
over an effective distance of twelve
kilometres, nearly seven and a half
miles. The average distance between
the bell towers on German railroads
is only eighteen kilometres, so that
the range of the signals is amply sui.

They told me that the path / took
was hard,
That many time my weary feet
would bleed;
They said at last I'd find my way was
barred;
would not heed.
They babe me stop and go the other
way;
This path, they said, Fate thorns
and thistles strew;
But / was young, Ambition led the
way;
Thought knew.
But when my bleeding feet came to
the end,
And / was bound and scourged by
cruel Fate,
Alas! ! cried, pray let me ctart again
1t was too late.

CORN FOR SHEEP.

Dry corn gives better results thar
soaked corn for sheep, owing to the
better secretion of saliva in eating
the dry corn. Oats prove a salts
factory ration when given to fatten-
ing lambs, but 1t requires about twen-
ty-five per cent. more oats than corn
for a given gain. 1t requires about
twice as much corn as grain for
lambs. Roots should be fed in COM
bination with grain. A ration of
equal parts corn and oats or two
parts oats to one of corn fed with
roots, is an economical ration for fat
tening lambs.

CONSUMPTION is DURABLE.
1t Will Soon Be Classified Among
the Minor Diseases.

Consumption is no longer regard
ed as a hopeless foe to life. 1t is
treated successfully in the earlier
stages and some remarkable cures in
the later phases have been recorded.
Outdoor treatment is regarded as
greatly helpful, and notable advances
have been made in the preventive
work through scientific sanitation.
At the present rate of progress,
through legislation, education and
the dispelling of the unwholesome at
titude of mind toward this disease,
it is quite likely that few decades
hence will find the world classifying
consumption with the minor serious
diseases, preventible and durable.
The malignant, epidemic fevers,
too, have succumbed in large meas
ure to the advances of science. The
germ theory of disease has worked
wonders in the classification and
study of specific organism and the
discovery of their antidotal remedies.
Yellow fever, cholera, bubonic plague
and other pestilential ailments of hui
mainly have been at least placed in
the category of possible prevention
through the exercise of care in iso-
lation and the use of disinfectants.
Smallpox is no longer rated high as
a menace to public health. Typhoid,
thanks to filtration and improved
sanitary supervision over the food
and milk supplies, is falling steadily
to small percentage in the list OF
causes of death.
The great advances which have
been made in a few years in the clas-
sification and successful treatment of
these and other dangerous diseases
leave the single obstinate exception
of cancer the more emphatically a
menace. Occasionally theory of
character, cause and method of
transmission is advanced, to be ex-
plotted for time and then discredit-

Science of Blood Examination Still
In Its Infancy.

Science of Blood Examination Still
In Its Infancy.
The microscopic examination of the
blood has become in recent years
very common procedure in many cases
of disease. BY it the physician or
surgeon often obtains valuable as
sistance in arriving at knowledge
of the nature of the disease which
he is called upon to treat.
The blood is examined with view
chiefly to ascertain the number, alb
solute and relative, of the red and
white corpuscles, and the percent
age of hemoglobin, or coloring matter
of the blood. The red blood corpus
cles are vastly more numerous than
the white, about 100000, speaking
generally, being found in one cubic
millimeter of blood. OF course, one
could not count so many, butt the APP
proximate result is obtained by count
ing the number in a determined frac-
ton of cubic millimeter. The same
method is followed in counting the
white corpuscles, of which there are
from 5000 to 10000 in a cubic milli-
meter of blood.
In anemia the number of red cor
puscles is markedly decreased, and
they are paler in color, showing
diminrtion in the amount of hemo-
globin. In the disease known as per-
nicious anemia, the average size Of
the red coupuscles is greatly in
creased, and there is also a curious
irregularity in size, some being twice
the normal size, while others are
found not more than half as large as
they should be in health
It Is in the matter of the actual
and proportionate number of the
white corpuscles that the most valu-.
able information is furnished by blood
examinations. It has been found that
tia white cells are not all of the same

The English figures are contained

Hamm, of Hull, from which we make
the following quotation:
The roads were well constructed
originally and are well cared for now.
1t is a rare sight to see a rutty or
muddy country road in this neigh
borhood. Most all of them are
macadamized, well-drained and kept
in good repair. AS consequence one
horse can draw a load which would
require two or three horses over the
usual country road in America. The

penditure for each year, the total
length of roads in the district con-
sidered, and the average cost per

CHICKEN POX.

This complaint is sometimes very
common. Chickens and young birds
under twelve months old are very
subject to it, old ones being seldom
afflicted. 1t comes in form of warts
on the comb, face and wattles. For
tunately, this nasty complaint is very
easily cured. An unfailing remedy
is to paint the warts with crude phen-
yle, one or two applications being
sufficient.

Baggage Regulations Abroad.

At all railway stations in Europe
baggage must be registered not later
than twenty minutes prior to the de-
parture of the train for which it is
consigned. In Italy and in Switzer-
land, as in Holland, there is mod
crate charge for transporting bag
gage, according to the weight and the
distance. In France fifty-six pounds
are allowed free, on presentation of a
railway ticket to the destination.
Anywhere on the Continent one can
send his baggage by rail to any other
point, by paying the transportation
charges, without buying a passenger
ticket.-The Travel Magazine.

PROFIT IN FANCY CHEESE.

The Camembert cheese can be pro-
duced at profit, as at the present
prices the product of 100 pounds of
milk fifty quarts) is about fifteen
pounds, which should sell at from Sc

Thorn, of the experimental station at
Storrs, Conn. The college is expert
menting with this variety of cheese,
and is producing al article as good
as the imported, and which can be
made at profit. The cream and the
Neufchatel cheese can also be pro-
duced profitably, and the production
of these and other soft cheeses might
be worth the attention of dairymen.

IS AMERICAN BUTTER PURE?

rs AMERICAN BUTTER PURE?
docs the butter manufactured in
our large creameries comply with all
the requirements of the pure food
law was asked of Professor e. v.
Webster, chief of the Dairy Division
of the Department of Agriculture.
That is a question for Professor
Wiley Of the Chemistry Bureau to
answer. But there is a great percent
age of American butter which is
shipped to foreign countries which
contains preservatives. American
butter as general thing reaches the
consumer in this country in pure
condition-that is, no attempt is
made to wilfully add ingredients
which might be considered harmful
to health. But this does not hold
good with our butter which is in
tended for the foreign trade. Most
of the large exporters of this coun-
try and foreign agents insist that all
butter which is furnished to them
shall be preserved with boracic acid.
1t is claimed by these people that the
addition OF the bOraX is necessary in
order that the butter might retain its
sweet condition for considerable
length of time.
Whether boracic acid does this or
not I cannot confidently say, but l
am rather of the opinion that it does
not"
In questioning DR.. Wiley as to the
relations of pure food laws to the
butter maker, he would not positive
ly state what action would be taken
against the use of aniline dyes for
coloring purposes, but he was under
the impression that these butter-col-
ors would be legislated against and
in short time no artificial coloring
matter, other than those of purely
vegetable origin, will be allowed to
be used.
