H RIVER NILE.
Ancient Greeks and The Process Of
9tsriIixina Water.

Ancient Greeks and The Process Of
stsrlIizins Water.
The ancient Greeks already recon-
mended the use Of sterilized water.
Rufus Of Ephesus. in the first century
Of this era, taught that "all water
from rivers and ponds is bad except
that from the Nile. Water from rivers
which dow through unhealthy soil.
stagnant water and that which flows
near public bathing places Is harmful.
The best water 10 that which has been
boiled in baked earthenware vessels,
cooled and then heated q second time
before drinking"
This hygienic prescription was in
tended both for healthy and sick peo-
pie, since 1t was applied to the armies:
"During marches and In camps pits
must be dug successfully from the
highest point to the lowest level Of the
place. These holes should be lined
with clay such as is used for making
pottery and the water should be mado
to percolate through it. The water will
leave all its impurities in these pits"
It may be inquired how the ancient
Greeks, knowing the processes Of ster-
uization and filtration Of water which
they applied to that Of the most limpid
rivers, should have drunk without pre-
cautions the water Of the Nile, which
our microscopes allow US to declare
Sound" but which is in appearance
the most worthy Of suspicion Of all
and is so muddy, sc yellow, that 1t re-
sembles wine.-Gazette des Faux,

REDUCED FREIGHT RATES
WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE
New Schedule Ordered by Interstate
Commerce Will Be Used Despite
Protests of Railroads

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Reduction
of the freight rates from eastern
points to Des Moines, Iowa, ordered by
the interstate commerce commission,
will go into effect Wednesday, despite
protests of the railroads involved.
The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
filed a suit in Chicago October IA,
seeking to enjoin the commission from
putting into effect it's order in what
is known as the Greater Des Moines
case"
BY that order the commission re-
duced the proportionate rate from
Rock Island, Ill, to Des Moines, on
all traffic originating east of the In
diana Illinois state line, from AZ cents
hundred to 81 cents on first class
freight, the rates being pSportion-
ately less on other classes of freight.
Last week the Rock Island served
notice on the commission 1T would ap-
ply this week for temporary injunc-
ton against the order.
1t Cancelled that notice later and an
nounced it would put in the rates Or
dered but under protest"

RIVALRY KEEN FOR
AERONAUTIC SHOWS
LOS ANGELES is ACTIVE FOR
AVIATION MEET
Aero Club May Be Able to Offer Over
$4,000 in Prizes - Aviator
Tells of European
Craze

NEW YORK. Oct. 1s.--Keen rivalry
among several cities for the two inter-
national aeronautic events which are
to be held in this country next sum-
mer has already developed, and it is
probable that the Aero Club of Amer
lea will be able to offer from $150,000 to
100000 to the contesting aeronauts.
Headed by the mayor of Baltimore,
a delegation of business men and Aero
club members from that city and
Washington Is expected here this
week to submit an offer of $780, 900 for
the two events, Baltimore desiring the
aeroplane contest, which will be held
in this country next summer by virtue
of the fact that Glenn H. Curtiss won
the international cup at Rheims, and
Washington the balloon contest, which
will be held here because E. w. Mix
won the recent Zurich race.
COrtlandt F. Bishop, president of the
Aero Club of America, will arrive here
from Paris during the week and i'm
mediately following his return the
campaign for the international events
will open.
Los Angeles has offered to raise as
large a fund as any other city, and
the Aero Club of st. Louis has SUBJ
is said, the money not having been
raised as yet.
Chicago and Indianapolis also will be
energetic bidders for the two contests.
To Submit Bids
Letters have been received from
other cities declaring that bids will be
submitted.
The officials of the Aero Club of
America desire to have the matter
settled 2s soon after the arrival of Mr..
Bishop as possible, and it is probable
that within a few weeks it will be
definitely known where the events will
take place.
Lieut.. D. B. Foulers of the United
States signal corps has just arrived
here after representing the United
States army at the international aero
nautical congress in Paris. He will
proceed to Washington to be instruct
ed in operating an airship by Wilbur
Wright.
"In France 1 found the country
crazy-if any one may use the term
about flying" he said. Germany still
sticks to the dirigible balloon, but in
France it is all for machines that fly.
'It will be the same here, and when
the people see the demonstrations
there will be active inventors who will
perfect engines of sufficient power and
lightness to fill the bill and make ma
chimes perfect.
81 certainly have great faith in
American inventors, and, while the
present machines of the Wright broth
ers. Curtiss and others are somewhat
crude, the principle is right, and
speedily we shall be eclipsing our
neighbors across the seas

TO CENSOR RAIMENT
WORN BY EMPLOYEES
DEPARTMENT STORE GIRLS
RESTRICTED
Concern in Chicago Engages Woman
to See That None of Female
Clerks Caters to Any
Fashion

CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-Mrs. C. Hernville
has been appointed official censor of
the costumes of feminine employees of
one of the largest State street depart
ment store. Her edict for the attire
of the young women was issued last
week.
Simplicity is the keynote of the orders
issued to the girls. Now the sales
women must appear neatly attired in q
black or white shirtWaist, black skirt,
hair done neatly without artificial
adornment and minus all exaggerations
of the fashions.
Here are some of the things which
Mrs. Hernville eliminated from the at
tire of woman and girl employees of the
store:
Hair puffs, rats, false curls and hair
bows.
Low-neck collars and short or ex-
tremely long sleeves.
Peek-a-boo waists or sleeves.
Powder paint or other makeups.
Flashy rings, buckles and pins.
Waists of other colors than black or
white.
skirts of any other color than black.
Every employe who fails to dress ac-
cordingly is notified by the censor to
call at her office the following morning
before reporting for work, and will be
sent home if she has not complied with
the request.
Jewelry worn by woman and girl
employees is limited to one ring and a
lCcket.
Low collars are not allowed, but high
collars reaching to the ears may be
worn.
Sleeves of shirtwaists must be three
quarters length, and it is required that
the shirtwaists be tailor made.

MAYORALTY CANDIDATES
PLAN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
Continual Round of Mass Meetings to
Be Held by New York
Office Seekers

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-A continual
round of mass meetings is planned by
the three mayoralty candidates for the
last two weeks Of the municipal cam
paign.
The managers of Otto T. Barnard,
the Republiscan-fusi candidate, have
arranged for more than 100 meetings.
Mr.. Barnard will speak every night
except Sunday.
w. R. Hearst, the Civic Alliance can
didate, began this evening with four
mass meetings in Harlem and he
Bronx, and will speak four nights this
week and every night next week.
Justice Gaynor, the Democratic can
didate, is scheduled to make at least
twenty more speeches. He spoke today,
for the second time, in Manhattan, at
the MONDAY meeting of the CONNER
ciaI Travellers league.
The Traction" issue is the latest to
arise. Justice Gaynor has accused Mr..
Hearst and his principal supporter,
William M. WINS, of being tools of the
traction interestes," and the Indepen-
dent candidate has retorted that Tam
many was responsible for the traction
System" and that the street railway
magnates 'owned Tammany Hail.

TO ASCERTAIN SOURCE
OF SUPPLY OF HORSES
War Department Conducts Inquiries to
Determine Producing QuaIifica-
tions of Various Localities

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The war
department is conducting inquiries into
the producing qualifications of
various localities, especially through
the central western sections of the
country, with the idea of ascertaining
the best source of supply and the char
acter of animals obtainable.
A report on the subject has been re-
ceived by Quartermaster General Ale
shire from an officer who has been
looking into the situation in Iowa, the
tenor of which is that horses suitable
for cavalry and artillery are scarce and
high priced there as in most of the
central western states.
The dealers generally express no par
ticular desire to deal in military ami
mails, as there is little orsno profit in
them at the average contract price.
The officer who Investigated the con-
ditions in Iowa stated that he did not
believe an order for five or six car
loads of horses could be filled in the
territory he covered.

the clash of aviation meeting dates
here and at Doncaster, and the graft

what Oppressive opening of the York
shire events is poorly disguised.

the presence of a number of more fa-

The French aviators, Farman, Paul
han, Rougier and LIE Blanc, are here,
while Latham, Fournier and Fernan-
dez are on the way, Fourteen en-
trants are announced for the opening

All the machines are monoplanes
with the exception of two biplanes and

Today's competition will consist of a
long distance flight, with a first prize
of $4,000; a speed contest, with a
first prize of $4,000, and special novel
prize of $1,000 for the aviator taking the
longest time to encircle the course.

LBy Associated Press.l

NAIROBRI, British East Africa
Oct. 17.-Mr. Creswell, a government
engineer in the public works depart
ment at Nyori, came into Nairobri to-
day and brought word that Mr.. Roose-
welt had had a very narrow escape
when shooting a bull elephant.
When shooting elephants it is often
necessary to creep into the herd and
shoot the selected bull at a range of
fifteen to thirty yards.
Mr.. Roosevelt, accompanied by Mr..
Cunninghame, the big game hunter and
guide, followed this procedure and
killed his elephant at the second shot.
Suddenly, before Mr.. Roosevelt could
reload, another bull elephant charged
him at close range from the herd. Mr.
behind trees and Mr.. Cunninghame
fired and, turned the bull from Mr.
Roosevelt just in time.
Dr. William Leadsmith and two
companions have left for Kapiti Plains
after lions. They have been out here
about three months collecting near
Kenia and in the country where Mr.
Roosevelt is hunting.
They have collected, roughly, 900
specimens to date. They will sail
for New York from Mombasa about
the end of the month.
The balloonagraph expedition ar
rived here yesterday and will make an
ascent in Nairobri, according to pres
ent arrangements.
The new governor will arrive here
tomorrow. The kings African Rifles,
native regiment, officered by British
military officers, will form a guard of
honor at the station on his arrival.

WEED, Cal, Oct. 1S-The drying
shed of the Weed Lumber company,
containing 100000 feet of the best
lumber, was destroyed by fire today.
The loss is more than 100000, partly
insured. A gale was blowing, and for
several hours the flames threatened the
rest of the immense plant and the
town of Weed itself.
The flames have spread to the woods
and, famed by a high wind, are re-
ported already to have reached a
point eight miles west of town. They
are burning through brush of little
value, but small bridge on the Cali
fornia Northeastern railroad has been
burned, which will delay traffic to

NEW YORK TOO LONELY,
MAN BECOMES TRAPPER
Old Soldier Wearles of Metropolis and
Drifts About River Eight
Years

ATCHISON, Kas., Oct. 1S.-Just be-
cause he found New York city "too
linely," as he expressed it, F. H. Baker,
an old soldier, has passed the last eight
years as a trapper on the Missouri
river, and during that time has drifted
in a small boat by easy stages from
the head waters of the great river
nearly to its mouth.
His long journey commenced at Fort
Benton, Mont, whittier he had gone
from New York just eight years ago.
Today he reached Atchison.
Baker was formerly a millwright at
Ithaca, N. Y. His wife died in that
city dozen years ago and Baker went
to the metropolis to live with a married
daughter. He got lonesome there and
after few years the call of the west
became so strong that he went to Fort
Benton, from which point his river
journey of thousands of miles started
