I was detained at the office with an out-oftown
customer. Just couldn't get away"
The excuse sounded all right and was accepted
by the hostess, but it was a myth.
The truth was; Preoccupied, he had gone
home from the office at the usual time and found
the house locked, much to his surprise. Where
in the mischief were his wife and children? he
wondered. Why didn't they tell him they were
going away?
He went all around the house and tried the
doors, but they were locked. Then he found a
piece of iron in the backyard and broke open a
window and crowded in.
He crowded out through the window for the
evening paper and crowded back. He read the
paper, and still the wife and children didn't re-

CEREBRO-SPINAL MENINGITIS
A FATAL DISEASE OF HORSES
Probable Causes of the MaIady and It's Symptoms-By H.
j. MiIks, d. " M. louisiana.

C~erebro-spinal meningitis in horses
is also known as staggers, blind stag
gers, sleepy staggers, bottom sickness,
etc. and scarcely any section of the
country has escaped the ravages of
the disease at some time or other.
Numerous theories have been ad-
vanced as Ia the cause of this disease.
1t has been attributed to grazing upon
low, marshy places, hence the name
bottom sickness. The cause also has
been laid to moldy corn Or fodder,
poisonous plants, exposure to sun, i'm
pure water, etc. Mayo, reporting a
very similar disease, concludes it to be
due to a fungus, As~pergillus glaucus.
The spores enter the circulation, find
Judgment in the organs and set up in

symptoms were due to an abscess of
the brain. He has also recovered the

is called colostrum milk, and has diff.

in color and has a sweetish taste and
a characteristic oily feeling. When
boiled It coagulates, on account of the
large amount Of albumen present.

a memorable speech because OF its
length. Then Senator Gore took his
place and spoke for quite a while longer.
All this was done to keep Senator Aldrich and
his friends from putting on passage the compro.
mise measure. 1t was regarded as a certainty
that the bill would pass and SO the opposition's
idea in the beginning was to keep on talking until
midnight March 8, 1909, in shifts of eight hours
each.
Whether 1t was by prearrangement or by acct.
dent, few will ever know, but the fact remains
that when one of the ~filibuster aides neglected
his cue, an Aldrich supporter jumped into the
breach, secured the floor and made the motion to
put the bill on passage. 1t passed and ended one

Then came the work Of engraving bills of every
denomination in the Offices of the bureau of en-
craving and printing. First the rough paper was
received. 1t was cut up into strips upon machines
which cut many thousands of notes at one time.

In the meantime the dies were cast
by the engraving bureau. This en-
craving required the greatest care
for a single deviation in lines upon
the copper plates meant that the
bill would be thrown out and the
entire plate would necessarily have
to be made over again. Dozens of
experts were put to work upon the
plates. The dies made, the work
of testing and finally printing was
entered into. II was perhaps a
