INTO A CORNER.
DIR. F1exner Is About to Corral the
Spotted Fever Germ.

New York, April 20.-Dr E. Simon
Flexner, of the Rockefeller institute
for medical research, who has been
searching for a remedy for cerebro
spinal meningitis, spotted fever" be-
iieves he is near the goal. In tracing
the virulence of the disease and to dis
cover check he has used
innumerable mice. guinea pigs,
titoxin will be brought out as result
of the research, it is hoped.
DR.. Flexner believes that fresh
guinea pig serum can destroy all the
germs present. with the important
provision that the number shall not be
too great.
The serum that maybe used as an
antitoxin is near the point of compile
ton. Should another epidemic occur
1t is believed that the researches of DR..
sion to a most decided degree in taking
care of it and preventing the usual
large percentage of mortality.
The beginning of DR.. Flexner's work
was after the cerebro spinal meningi-
tbs epidemic during the winter of 1904
and the spring of 1905. In the per-
iod of the epidemic there were about
four thousand cases. The deaths num-
bered 3,429. The percentage of deaths
was 1875. This tremendous fatality
caused scientists all over the world to
take up the subject of finding a reme-
dy.
The germ has the remarkable name
of diplococcus intraeellularis. Every
experiment seemed to show that its
life was short. It was also shown that
the germ was to be found in the nose
and the pharynx, and hence easily
communicable. It is found later, how
ever, that although the germ in itself.
without attention, might be of short
life, under certain conditions it's per-
iod of existence was not limited by a
few months. Cold is deadly to it.

New Workers Find a New Way to
Reach jamestown Exposition.

New York. April 20.-For the bene-
fit of many autoists who plan touring
trips to the jamestown exposition at
Norfolk, Va, a new route has been dis
covered and mapped out By r. H.
Johnson, treasurer of the New York
Motor club. This route is shorter by
800 miles between New York and
Norfolk than the routes recommended
during the winter by a committee of
the jamestown exhibition and is said
to present better average riding con-
ditions.
Briefly, in place. of following the
better. known course via Baltimore
Washington, Fredericksburg, Rich
mond and Petersburg on the main
land, necessitating a long detour
around Chesapeake bay, the new route
is almost due south from Wilmington,
Del, straight through the center or
the peninsula between Chesapeake bay
and the Atlantic ocean.
The largest towns passed through on
the peninsula are Smyrna. Dover, Sea-
ford Salisbury and Princess Anne,
with Cape Charles as the terminal of
the automobile tour. From the last
named place il is less than three
hour sail across Chesapeake bay TO
Norfolk with boats. making two trips
a day each way. During the expos1-
ton a more frequent trip schedule IS
planned. - 10 = --'ate'c
The total distance from New York
to Cape Charles by road is shown by
odo1neter to be about $40 miles. as
against about $50 miles from New
York to Norfolk by road via Washing
ton and Richmond The trip may be
made in easy stages in four days, with
night stops at Philadelphia, 80 miles;
Dover. Del, rs miles. and Princess
Anne. Md, IS miles. The distance
from Princess Anne to Cape Charles is
So miles. In a faster run the Journey
NAV be made in three days. with the
first nights stage at Wilmington, Del,
40 miles, and the second night at
Salisbury. 1O7 miles. From Salisbury
to Cape Charles is 104 miles
For the 240 miles from Philadelpnla

@2 Gill;,

The seizure of liquor "in unusual
quantities is a means of enforcing
the prohibition law that will prove
effective if it is generally practiced.
The object of the law is to seize
that liquor Imported for the purpose
of the violation of the state laws A
question has been raised in some
quarters as to the constitutionality
OF the law, but that will have to be
decided regularly by the courts when
the matter comes before them. Ship
pers of liquor will hesitate about con-
signing it when there is danger of it's
being seized and destroyed, and those
to whom it is shipped and who in
tend it for unlawful uses will hesitate
about paying for it in advance and
taking the chances of it's seizure. The
law gives the person to whom liquor
is consigned the opportunity to ap-
pear and defend his right to have it,
and this will cover all cases where
shipments are legally made
