probably no doubt that in rare in
stances money, like other things. may
act as a means of transmitting disease,
but il Is so uncommon that we must
not give It undue consideration, for
there are so many other considerations
with which we must deal in protect
ing the public health that constitute
a real menace that we should rather
devote our energies to these than to
conditions which are based on theory.
The fear that money transmits dis
ease is, l am quite sure, due to the
fact that it is quite frequently old
and filthy. While this is unpleasant
in many ways, it does not indicate the
presence of pathogenic organisms

NO DISEASE ON MONEY.
Physician Declares IL Foolish to Con-
slider IL u Medium of Trans
mission.

DR.. ANH. Doty, health officer of
this port. who for years has been
making a study of infectious diseases,
and especially the medium OF their
transmission, does not agree with the
theorists who contend that money Is
a transmitter of disease.
DR.. Doty said yesterday that, while
meteorological examinations were
presented to show that different forms
of bacteria were found on money,
practical and careful observation had
proved that infection was caused and
epidemics were spread in nearly all
instances by personal contact with
infected persons, and more especially
with ambulant cases, rather than
through the handling of money ana
clothing.
Concerning the current agitation on
money as an agent Of disease, DR..
Doty said:
1.-THE theory that money acts as a
medium of infection is plausible
one, particularly as 1t deals with an
agent which is being constantly trans
mitted from one person to another ana
among all classes Of people. Cloth
ing, rags. merchandise, cargoes of
vessels, etc, are all regarded as means
by which disease is commonly trans
mitted.

In these the presence of feline ex-

Selig Silverstein Improvised
Bomb to Kill Police.
Death Forces His Hand
and He Tells Story OF Union
Square Tragedy.
KNEW GOLDMAN AND BERKNIAN

New York, April with the
death melted out to him by his own
hand less than a day or a night away,
Selig Slverstein, the Union Square
bomb thrower, has confessed to the
police.
And this confession shows that Il
was a plain, cheap hand-rolled cigar
cite that stood that day between some
thousands of persons and the destruc-
ton that Silverstein had planned for
the police.
Also it proves that the deluded man
went to Union Square with murder in
his heart.
Fourth Deputy Police Commission
er Woods now has in his possession
the confession which Silverstein made
Friday in the prison ward of Bellevue
Hospital, to the detective who has
ben his pretended attendant.
Sitting beside the frightfully in
jured man last Friday afternoon, the
detective told him that spinal menin-
gifts had set in and that even If he
could survive the wounds made by
his bomb. he must die in a little while
OF the disease. Silverstein then de-
cided to talk and told the detective
that he made the bomb himself using
a brass ball of the top of brass bed
stead and filled with broken nails,
|nitroglycerlne and gun powder.
Then" said the anarchist, 81 took
my bomb with a piece of string for
fuse and walked over to the park.
When / got there put the fuse inside
the little hole in one side of the
round knob. And then | saw a po-
l'eeman who had beaten me and
walked over to where he stood and
sat down upon the fountain.
Cigarette-Explosion.
"And what happened then, my
friend?" asked the policeman attend
|ant.
"Why, didn't intend to set off the
bomb until more policemen came
around. But was excited and ! roll
ed a cigarette and lit it to stop my
nerves. was going to use it, too, to
light the fuse of thhe bomb when the
time came.
"Then / took the bomb out of my
pocket and held 1t behind my back,
in my right hand. | held the cigarette
In my left hand, and then | got ex-
cited again and put my left hand be-
hind me, and the light of the cigarette
caught onto the fuse of the bomb, and
before knew it, and the next knew
| was lying on the ground, with many
policemen over me and a dead man
at my side"

But Derkman says he doesn't

"Was that the first bomb you ever
nader"
"No. | made one other"
"When was that?" the policeman
asked. But the dying man became
suddenly suspicious.
"You want to know too much," he
snapped. "You go to hell"
In the hospital tonight, it was said
that Silverstein would die of menin-
gifts within forty-eight hours at the
rost. Had this disease not attacked
him, he would probably have recov-
cred from his wounds.

A Pretty Warm Fish.

A well known fisherman was fishing
for perch and was seated along the
edge of a lake near the roots of a
large tree, which was a favorlte spot
for the perch. Luck had been only
fair, and he was debating on the ques-
tion of hauling in the line and going
home when there came a powerful
tug
He knew that he had huge fish
and struggled vigorously for twenty
minutes before he landed his prize.
1t was a sunfish, one of the largest he
had ever seen. He landed it on the
bank, and then he noticed that the
rays from the fish were so powerful
that he was almost blinded, and the
grass in the vicinity was shriveled up
by the heat.
A few minutes later the man fell
over He had been sunstruck by the
sunfish and was beyond hope.-Phil-

How a Girl Throws.


Perhaps a better title would have
been How a Girl Doesn't Throw
because It is well known that n girl
cannot propel a ball or anything else
like a boy. Most people-and all boys
conclude that this defect arises from
clumsiness. but that Is a mistake.
The difference between girls throw
ing and boys is substantially this:
The boy crooks his elbow ana
reaches back, with the upper part Of
his arm about at a right angle Of forty
five degrees. The direct act Of throw.
ing is accomplished by bringing the
arm back with a sort Of snap working
every joint from shoulder TO wrist
The girl throws with her whole arm
rigid the boy with his whole arm re
laxed. Why this marked and unmis-
taxable difference exists may be OK
planned by the fact that the clavicle
or collar bone in the feminine anatomy
is some inches longer and set some de
grees lower down than IN the mascu-
line frame. The long, crooked, awk-
ward bone interferes with the full and
free use OF the arm. This is the rea-
son why a girl cannot throw stone.
