COPIED NAPOLEON.

South American Dictators Who imi-
tated the French Dsspot.
The dictatorship of Castro in vene-
xuela has been compared with that of
President Francia, who terrorlzed Par
aguay for over thirty years. Francia
was worshiper Of Napoleon. whom
he endeavored to initiate In every pos
sible way. He possesses only one por-
trait Of his idol, a German caricature.
which depicted the emperor wearing
an exaggerated version Of the famous
gray oyercoat. Francia took this pic
ture seriously and for many years pa
raded the streets Of Asuncion clad In
q gray dressing gown and a cooked
Init, which he fondly believed to be
the habitual garb of the French des-
pot.
Castro's most distinguished predeces-
sor was also Napoleon devotee. but
Bolivar had seen his idol and could
thus initiate him more faithfully. He
managed to acquire the emperor's
brusque speech and other mannerisms,
pulled peoples ears when In a good
humor and dictated dispatches to sew
eral secretaries at once. He founded
an order closely modelled on the L.
gion of Honor; surrounded himself
with a guard Of negroes from Haiti,
after the style Of Napoleon's name
lukes. and endeavored to cOdify the
laws of his country. When he return
ed to America after witnessing Napo-
Icons coronation Bolivar entered Ca
racas standing in u Roman chariot
drawn by twelve maidens belonging to
the first families Of the town.-London

is the characteristic color of nearly
all great writer's. For instance, It Is
the color word most often employed by
Tennyson.
lnsall great works Of human interest
red predominates, as It Is the color of
the very strongest Of our passions and
impulses-the color of hot blood. There
Is no color so warm. so full of Joy and
life, so over1owing with vitality.
Red Is the color Of glowing iron-of
heat and passion. In nature red has.

same time 1t quickens all rotting and
decay. Plans grown under red glass

sire to kill. The effect Of red upon

Since Koch, of Germany, discovered
the tubercle bacillus, or germ, it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether there has
been a successful research Of greater

and the public at large than that just
announced in Philadelphia
This discovery is the proving in many
cases-not four or six, but fifty or sixty
the presence OF the tuberculosis germ
in the blood OF human being and in
establishing beyond all doubt that hui
man blood acts as a conveyor of the
consumption germ from one organism
of the body to another.
All of the tests and the final demon
stration of what had been largely a
theory are the work of DIR. Randle c.
Rosenberger, bacteriologlst OF the Phil
adelphia General Hospital and also
bacteriologist of the Jefferson Medical
College, either of which positions is
mark of distinction in Philadelphia.
The problem that has long been puz-
cling scientists in this particular field
has been the mode of transmission of
the organism, say, from the lungs to the
intestines, from the lungs to other In
teral organs. or vice versa. Naturally
the blood has been considered the pos
sible carrier, but no one to the present
time has been able to demonstrate the
organisms in the blood by simple
methods. 1t has been taught and be-
lieved for years, and especially during
the last few years, that tuberculosis was
not hereditary but that the person so
affected was first SO lowered in body
resistance, from various causes, that he
was fit subject for the disease and in
this condition acquired it from some
outside source, such as the sputum of
another person, through milk and food,
and even other means OF contact with

The bill that Assemblyman John ].
Matthews introduced in the Legisla.
ture last week, which repeats "sections
40 and FL of the weights and measure
act, revision of 1905" will be endorsed
by every manufacturer of peach baskets
in this state. The law at present con-
stitutcd and which 1t is understood
was framed by Senator Gebhardt and
made one of the laws OF this state
through his personal efforts, forces all
peach basket manufacturers i'll this
state to make their baskets Of such
size that they will contain just sixteen
quarts, Winchester half bushel meas
ure and each basket must be branded
on its rim with the words "Standard
N. J." No other state forces its basket
makers to do this and New Jersey it
appears, is the only state in which its
baskets are SO protected. If peach
baskets were only used and sold in this
state, Senator Gebhardts law might be
all right, but it happens that peach
baskets are both made and sold in
Pennsylvania, Delaware and in other
states whose lawmakers are not so par
ticular about the size OF the baskets as
Senator Gebhardt. As long as manu-
facturers In other states are permitted
to make baskets that are supposed to
contain sixteen quarts when they in
reality only hold fifteen, so long will it
be impossible for our manufacturers to
compete with them if Senator Geb-
hardts measure is complied with.
Recognizing this fact, Assemblyman
Matthews has introduced his repeater
of the Gebhardt law and all basket
manufacturers in this state hope it will
be passed. Hunterdon Gazette.
