A Berkeley professor has discovered
 that the ordinary, common, pestiferous house fly is the greatest disseminator of disease we have. On the hoofs of over ninety percent of the large number of flies. examined were found germs and baccih containing all sorts of possible future business for the doctors.

The bank statement Of last week did not
show the heavy losses in reserve that
We're expected to be disclosed as the re-
suit of cash changes incident to the sur
render by the banks of public deposits in
response to the Treasury call therefor
which matured Wednesday.
Though the estimated net loss Of cash
on all operations, including those between
the Treasury and the banks and the in
terbank movement. was $l0.OtO,OOO, the
actual decrease in this item was S4.961, =
500. The difference between the disclosed
loss and that which was estimated was
accounted for by important gains to the
banks from the interior though such
gains were partially offset by withdra walls
of s.. 100000 gold for shipment to Argen-
tina.
The actual reserve was reduced $2302,-
O2J, to ST., $50. This was due to
contraction of $1O.663. 100 in deposits. re-
sulting from the loss of cash. as above
and a decrease of So,36O. 100 in loans.
