FIRE AT LONG BRANCH
Patuable Horses Entered for Shoe
Rescued d-L08s, $4,000.
by Telegraph to The Tribune ]


Long Branch. n. j., July 2l.-With a strong wind
rom the ocean tanning it along, one OF the most
destructive fires that has occuEred in this place
Ia years swept through the Brighton avenue bus-
ness section this afternoon, burning a row Of
houses, including a four story hotel and doing
damage that IS estimated at close $4,000. No
lives were lost and the fire far back from
the summer cottage colony that none Of the vis-
itors suffered loss. but created great excitement
ana Tor long time was unmanageable.
Inc hre was discovered in the Knckerhocker
Stables, owned by Emil Seelig, at Brighton avenue
and % street, shortly after 8 o'clock. number
OF valuable horses that to be shown in the
Long Branch horse show next week were in the
building, but the stabemen managed 10 get them
All out By this time the fire had spread 20 the
Chh House. owned by Mrs. R. E Moore, increas-
ing In herceness, that it impossible for the
hreTnen to get enough 10 the burning buildings
TO check the flames
From the Cliff House the fire swept through a
row of dozen houses along Brighton avenue and
into the Coulter House, large four story brick
hotel building, owned by the Artisans Mutual
Building and Loan Association, of Camden The
building had been untenanted for some time The
flames spread through the structure from cellar TO
roof, Transforming it into blazing furnace
At this point the combined efforts OF the hremen
the street. Although they turned a half dozen
streams on the burning hotel they did little good
and the fire allowed to burn itself out.

FRIENDLY BACTERIA.
Some of Their Uses for the Benefit
of Mankind.

Micro-organisms which abound in the air earth
and water. are of two widely different kfn6s-one
the protOzOa, which virtually animalculse and
another larger division. the bacteria. which belong
TO the vegetable kingdom. So far they have
been Identified, the protozoa to be a bad lot,
because they have been chiefly discovered in the
act of killing people with malaria yallOw fever OF
some other terrible disease. On the other hand,
many of the bacteria are useful, and since they
are vegetable and can be cultivated like any other
plants industry, that of raising valuable
crops of teria, has arisen
William Hanna Thomson. NJ. D.. LII D.. tells
something about the of the vegetable division
Of mcro-Organisms In mis- article. Indispensable
Bacteria" in the August number OF "Everybody's
Magazine" Instead Of bacteria being solely causes
of deadly diseases, he gays science demonstrates
that but for bacteria this earth would soon become
uninhabitable- No animal or plant spontaneously
decOmposes after it dies any than do stones
rocks, and bacteria keep life going by removing
the bodies of each generation to make room for the
next. Some varieties Of bacteria also promise to
increase the supply OF foodstuffs extent that
cannot now be fO-etOld
Nitrogen is necessary ingredient OF food.
whether vegetable or animal. and since three-ffths
Of the atmosphere IS composed Of nitrogen, it may
be imagined that there need be- no fear that this
source Of supply will give out. Unfortunately,
however, nitrogen prefers to be free, and refuses
to he locked up a component Of vegetable
animal tissues. except in the most roundabout ways
Is said there viii soon be no available nitrogen to
provide the food Of the nations. The store of one
nitrogen fertilizer, nitrate Of soda, Chilli salt
petrc, Is being drawn upon rapidly that
I,7i0G00 tons of it dug out and exported in
1901 Neither is all Of 1t used for the good purpose
Of helping plants make foodstuns because there
IS n world demand at present for saitpetre to
make hat wholly non-nUtritiOus thing, gunpOwder.
Tie advancing price OF nitrogen fertilizers derived
from any OF the old sources has stimulated re-
search for other OF fixing nitrogen, as 1t is
termed. These efforts have met with considerable
degree OF success, but yet way has been
found 10 make artihcialIy fixed nitrogen cheap
Il is hoped that this way Is to be found BY the
help OF bacteria as some OF these micro-oTganisms
have been discovered that benevolent enough
% make a practice OF fixing nitrogen on the
roots Of plants just where II is wanted and ex-
perIments have proved that these bacteria can be
artidciaIly produced and sold fertilizers Pro-
fessOr Whitney, OF the United States Department
Agriculture, goes far as to say, in this con-
nection. that the future OF agriculture will be
bound up in the application Of the science Of soil
bacterloogy.

PLAN JERSEY TERMINAL.
Trolley Company to DeIiuer Passen-
gers to the TubeS.

Now that the tunnels Jersey City open,
considerable interest is manifested by the citizens
OF New Yorks three minute from Broadway"
neighbor the plans OF the Public Service
Corporation for improving its trolley system IN
Hudson County.
Work has been begun on new elevated trolley
terminal in Hcbokcn just outside the entrances to
the tubes that city, but thus far nothing has
been said done toward improving conditions out
side the tunnel entrances in Jersey City. Here
the trolley terminal is side OF Exchange
Place and the tunnel entrance on the other, the
only means OF communication between the two
being through long line of trucks waiting to be
transported to New York by ferryboat.
From what be learned, however this con
dition Of affairs Will last long for the trolley
company, IL IS said. has definitely decided 10
place Its trolley shed IN Jersey City with new
terminal that WIFI bring its passengers into close
communication with the tubes under the river
The officials of the trolley company said
to be a work two plans to bring this about.
The first of these plans takes IN the utilization

the 33d street New York; terminal which. II is
expected, will be about May next, the railroad
company viii have little for it's terminal this
point The design Is 10 run trolley loop around
the upper floor. which will land passengers near
the entrance to the elevators leading the tubes
The Dian IS in which every section
OF Hudson County will be interested, especially
its southern end. for IL contemplates the building
OF a large terminal at Sip avenue and the B0uie-

Since the order OF the Board Of Health went out

cerned as to where the contamination Of the driven

ter Beusel who has been just firm in his state
rnents as TO the unftness OF the water Deputy
Commissioner Coziev has bsen as its fitness.

ity Of the water having been lowered by some con-
taninating inlet the wells Whether through
seepage, drainage cesspoos Dr. Bense was
not certain. But ne said he did put the blame
on the Gowauus Canal. although some persons
believed ii the cause OF the infection.
When asked about the investigation he had pre-
viously said would be made at once, DT. Bensel
said
An assistant sanitary superintendent Of tho
Board Of Health IS now making a careful inHesu-
cation OF the whole territory surrounding the
wells lie has number of inspectors working
with him. I believe 81 will be found that some old
cesspools are the cause of all the trouble
