MICROBES DESTROY PAPER.
Germans Find They Cause Its Dis
coloration and Decay.

Germany has been looking into
the question why paper does not last
forever, and has come to the conclu-
sion that its decay is largely due to
bacteria. They injure the texture
and destry the color.
The brownish spots which appear
In old books and which are known
to English bibliophiles as foxing are
really due to the Bacterium prod
giorum. This tiny destroyer is es-
pecially fond of starchy media; and
its propagation is promoted by damp.
1t has long been known that damp
produced foxing, but the share of the
mlcrobe in the operation has not
hitherto been suspected.
Then there Is a tiny fungus or
mould, Pendulum glancum. 1t is
responsible for gray and black marks
upon old papers and in spotting the
surface II also helps TO break down
the fabric and hasten the process Of
It's destruction.
There are many other microscopic
enemies OF paper and they abound
chiefly In those which are glazed
with gelatine. Given little mois-
ture and a little heat and these will
multiply in the surface of a picture
or a diploma on highly finished paper
Just as they would In the culture
tube of a biologist.
Several methods Of fighting these
bacteria are proposed One is to
substitute for animal glue =" ""'eN-
Ing fine paper glazes made from
rosin.
These. 1t is said. give equally good
results and totally defy the inva-
sion of microbes. 1t is also proposed
to introduced chemical agents in the
manufacture Of paper which arc
known to be fatal to microbes.
This, however, involves many COM
plications.
When the paper is to be used for
water color painting and printing in
colors, almost all chemicals are
barred as they are apt to combine
with the pigments in the course OF
time and completely destroy them
But for ordinary writings papers,
small quantities either of bichlorido
of mercury or of antiseptics of the
carbolic class may be introduced with
out impairing the use of paper for
ordinary purposes, whether writing
or printing, and at the same time
rendering 1t proof against the ordin-
ary processes of decay.

Very black is the picture of Kongo
life drawn bv E. d. Morel. He
says: "Out there In the forest, the
broken man through the long and
terrifying watches OF the night
what is his vista in life? Unending
labor at the muzzle of the Albini or
the cap-gun; no pause. no rest. At
the utmost. If his fortnightly toll
Of rubber is sufficient, II leaves and
dirt have not mingled in too great
proportion with the Juice, he may
find that he has four or five days
a month to spend among his house
hold. II so, he will be lucky, for
the vines are ever more difficult to
find: the distance to travel from his
village greater. Then the rubber
must be taken to the white mans
fine station. and any number Of de.
lays may occur before the rubber
worker may leave the station for
his home. Four or flve days free
dom per month-that Is the very
maximum he can expect. Five days
to look after his own affairs, to be
with his family. and always under
the shadow Of the sentry's rife.
But how often in the year will such
good fortune attend him?
Shortage on one occasion only
will entail the lash, or the chain and
detention-worse. perhaps, If the
white man has a fever or an enlarged
spleen that day. And If he flinches.
II. starting from an uneasy sleep
there In the forest, when shapes
growing out of the darkness pro-
claim the rising OF another dav, ho
wakens to the knowledge that his
basket is half full, and that he must
begin his homeward two days march
betimes not to miss the roll call,
his heart falls him, and he turns
his face away. plunging into the
forest, fleeing from his tormentors,
seeking only one thing-blindly 20
get away from his life and all that
1t means-what will happen?
We'll enough he knows. Has he
not seen the process with his own
eyes? Father. mother or wife will
pay for the backsliding in the host
age house. And whittier shall he
flee? The forest with It's privations
by day, It's horrors by night. There
he must live, seeking such nourish-
ment rs roots and berries will afford.
Could he gain some other village in
the hope that It may be a friendly
one? But there the sentry will be
also. and his doom as q deserter is
sure"

The average yearly recession for
the Horseshoe 2.1S feet Thus we
may assume that the mean recession
of cataract combining the volumes
of both falls, such as existed through
out most of the period of excavation,
would be at least three feet year,
and perhaps as much as four or five,
says Prof C. j. Maury in the New
York Post.
The way in which the cataract re.
cedes can be seen in both the Ameri.
can and Horseshoe falls today This
is shown in the accompanying sec.
tional view of the Horseshoe falls
taken from G. X. Gilbert's work.
The resistant Lockport or Niagara
limestone (a) forms the cap. This is
underlaid by the softer Rochester or
Niagara shale (b) which rests upon
the harder Clinton limestones and
shales (c). These overlie the soft
Medina sandstones and shales (d)
and (e). The pounding and rebound
OF the falling waters wear away the
comparatively sOft sandstone ana
shale from under the hard limestone
cap and result in the formation OF
temporary caves of which the Gave
Of the Winds" is an example. In the
course Of time the undermining pro-
crosses so far that the roof breaks
down from lack of support. The crest
line of the falls is then suddenly
changed and the cave is in ruins. The
fallen blocks are subsequently broken
up by abrasion and the debris is car
ried away by the stream. Table
Rock, which fell in June, 1850, was a
striking example of the falling masses
Of rock. After such a downfall the
undermining process begins anew. and
other caves are made and obliterated
as the gorge grows upstream.

GERMANY'S SCHOOL BATHS.
Excellent Sanitary Work, and Pro
notes Good Habits In Children.

School baths are settled feature
Of popular school organization In
Germany, and of late they have de-
veloped into large sized school
problem. No system in use gave en-
tire satisfaction and all the sanitary
experts have been busy deyising
better ones.
The douche has been Intellectual
and vapor baths are injurious to
many children; tub baths have been
frowned upon as tending to spread
all sorts of germ diseases; every
scheme, of course, had to be
economical to have any practical
utility.
The latest plan and the one which
comes nearest to solving the prob
lem in the judgment of the school
authorities is the invention of Karl
Hanson. a Berlin sanitary engineer.
He proposes to construct batteries
of baths, consisting of sixteen cir
cular tubs sunk in the floor OF the
bathroom, with wide alleys between
them in both directions.
The tubs are bowl shaped without
any sort of seam or angle and are
constructed OF cast iron covered with
white enamel Each measures
about 80 inches in diameter by IA
In depth. The drain pipe is in the
very lowest part of the hollow, SO
arranged as to draw off every parI-
Gle OF water
Around the edge of each tub Is a
copper tube pierced for spray a. In
tcryals of two inches throughout
its length. The jets are turned
backword against the walls of the
tub SO that they can be used either
to I'll 1t or to wash 1t out thoroughly.
All these tubes are controlled by
q single valve and the drainage OF
the tubs is also led into single es-
emptying, washing and refilling can
be performed with a minimum Of
labor. Over each tub there is a
shower.
The bathing drill consists In thor
ough washing with antiseptic soap
III "tlei ~ temperature Oi ~ 10
80 degrees. After ten minutes the
tubs are simultaneously emptied
and the showers are turned on. be-
ginning at the temperature of the
bath and cooling to about GO degrees.
When the children leave the tubs
these are thoroughly sprayed out and
refilled. the whole process taking
about five minutes Thus In an
hour three sets of children. or +s
altogether, can be bathed efficiently
and under strictly sanitary condi-
tions. with plenty of time to spare.
The consumption of water is about
1880 gallons an hour and coal about
90 pounds.

"Peeping Toms" in Tree.
Sons Of Prominent Men Caught Near ScIec
Girls School.

"Peeping Toms" have been
roosting high in the treetops OF
classic Wayne, and too close to the
windows Of the Armitage School, a
select educational institution exclu-
sively for girls.
Defending the prestige the insti-
tuition enjoys for its careful guar.
dianship of those entrusted to its
training, the school officials recent,
ly invoked the offices of Chief Has,
ket and his police to watch out for
trespassers on the grounds. A
couple of nights ago two youths
climbed to the lofty height of a tai
pine tree to watch the girls study.
The policemen were on the job.
The offenders proved to be the
sons of prominent families, it i:
said, and for the sake of their sires
were allowed to go with a severe
reprimand."

The birth Of Niagara occurred at
the close of the last glacial period
This ice invasion marks the close OF
the tertiary and the opening of the
quaternary era of geologic time. For
years 1t has been a matter of contro-
versy whether primitive man existed
on this continent in pre-glacal times
The advocates of tertiary man have
hoped to find human remains or paleo.
lithic implements beneath the till
crock debris deposited by the ice),
but up to the present such relics have
not been found in this position. Paleo.
lithic implements have, however, been
discovered in glacial gravels (till,
later worked over by water). These
deposits would be approximately of
the same age as Niagara's gorge.
Man thus seems to have existed on
this continent at least as long ago as
the birth OF Niagara falls. This, by
an average estimate, we may put at
come 10000 or $4,000 years.
The present rate of waste OF the
hanks he measured as over one-fourth
Of an inch year. or a total of Clio
cubic yards per mile. From this he
stimated that 10000 years would be
required for the entire change OF the
banks since they we're first left ex.
posed to the action OF the atmosphere
by the recession OF the falls.

Origin Of "Whip Dog Day."

st. Luke's Day Is also called Whip
Dog Day in the almanacs, which
refers us to the quaint Offices of dog
whipper and sluggard walker, that
used to held generally by one per-
son attached to every church. As
late as 1857 there is record of one
of these officials at Dunchurch, who,
armed with a wand that had a fork
at the end of 1t, used to go round the
church during sermon time and wake
the sleepers by crooking 1t around
their necks. Sometimes the wand
had fox's brush at the other end,
with which to arouse lady sleepers
more courteously. In some places
the whip for driving dogs out of
church Is still preserved; and re-
Gently the schoolboys had a custom
of whipping the dogs out of the
street on St. Luke's Day In a similar
way, A curious entry in the Wake
6eld church accounts runs thus:
"l703: For hats. shoes and hoses.
for sexton and dog whipper. 1ss Sd. "

Improved School Laws for Penn'a.
Sweeping reforms are looked for

Sweeping reforms are looked for
from the labors of the special COM
mission named by the governor of
Pennsylvania to revise and codify
the school laws in county, town and
city, which began its work in Phila-
delphia. The session was devoted
to a prelminar Y discussion of the
laws and the planning Of the details
of the commission inspection.
The members also formulated a
circular letter soliciting suggestions
from school superintendents, teach
ers and other citizens of the state
as to the best laws for the public
schools.
DR.. Nathan c. Schaffer, presi
dent of the Commission, and sup
erintendent of the state schools
said "Philadelphia is the only
large city where the appropriations
are not given to the Board of Edu-
cation, and it is a poor system" b"
The commission will undoubtedly
recommend a change in the law.
Possible recommendations that
the commission will make were,
however, touched upon lightly.
Members discussed the school sys-
tens of first, second and third class
cities, but came to no definite
decision on the question. The work
of collecting the laws of the state
for inspection was placed in the
hands of John S. Killing of Erie,
former chairman of the Democratic
State Committee. The rest Of the
sessions was spent by the commits
sion in trying to grasp the work in
all its bearing and details.
The next meeting will be Oh
December 10 and II in Philadelphia.
That the members will not be salts
fed with reports from outside par
ties is shown by the fact that the
first day has been set aside for in
spection of the Philadelphia schools,
The meeting on Dec. II will be
executive, but several public meet
ings will be held shortly after
The circular letter formulated by
the commission is as follows
The General Assembly OF Penn
sylvania at its last session provided
for the appointment of commits
sion to collate and reduce to one
act all the school laws OF Pennsyl-
vania now in force, and to prepare
and submit such bills to the Legis-
lature as they shall deem necessary
to make the public schools of this
Commonwealth more comprehen-
sive, efficient and adapted 10 the
needs of the citizens
1.-The members of this commits
sion, by appointment of tie COVER
nor, desire to call the attention of
superintendents, School Boards,
teachers and others interested in
the problem of education to the
importance of the work of the COM
mission, and to enlist their interest
and aid in the wise accomplishment
of this work.
"For this purpose they invite
you 10 send to this commission any
suggestion for the improvement of
the school system and school law
OF the Commonwealth. The COM
mission suggests that you consult
leading teachers, and especially
teachers and directors organiza-
tions, and give it the benefit of their
experience and views, as we'll as
your own. You are especially re-
quested to call the attention of the
commission to any local school laws
which i'll your judgment should be
replaced"

What Geology Proves as to the life
Of the Falls,

Sir Charles Lyell roughly estime ed
the time required to cut the seven
mile gorge at about 10000 years. A
survey was first made in 1912, and the
exact position of the falls at that time
was mapped. Later surveys were
made at intervals down to 1890. The
position of the Horseshoe Falls at the
time Of the different surveys is shown

INCLINED ROLLING ROADS.
New Invention That Makes the AZ
cent OF Steep Hills Easy
for Teams.

A novel and important invention, the
first rolling roadway ever built, has
recently been completed and placed In
operation In Cleveland. BY mean OK
II teams with heavy loads are carried
Up a 20-foot grade-forward i20 feet
and upward 05 feet In four minutes or
less, says the Columbus CO.. State Jour
nal.
In Cleveland, as In many other cities.
the wagon route for a large volume
OF heavy traffic is necessarily up sew
eral steep grades. The city proper Is
upon an elevation, and the docks and
several Of the principal railroad sta
lions are az the foot of long inelines
over which several streets lead. on
Factory street. the site Of the first
roadway, the incline for many years
has been travsrsed by heavy laden
teams which climbed the grade at a
snail's pace and with great dineulty.
Under the new regime the team
draws its load to the foot Of the roll
ing roadway ard Is carried to the top
without any effort al all on the part
Of the horses.
The rolling roadway Is a great end
less belt which Is operated by means
Of electric power, and which weighs
80 tons It is the In ention Of Col Isaac
d. Smead, OF Cincinnati.
At the top Of the hin there Is a
small tower. II Is from this point that
the electric power is applied. When
the wagons have been elamped 10 the
roadway at the start the man IN the
tower is notified by mean Of an cleo
trio signal, and the roadway begins to
move at the rate Of some four miles
an hour.
Ten vehicles can be placed upon the
roadway at one time. The daily ca
pacity Is about COO vehicles. A toll Of
from ten 10 % cents is charged. For
foot passengers two cents toll Is
charged.
Since the completion Of this road
way the railroads in the vicinity have
begun the erection OF a large ware-
house and are planning to put In adj
dihonal team tracks. The activities
In that locality have more than dou-
bled.
Another roadway Of this kind Is 10
