But, after all, one does not need sta
tistics to make them suspicious of the
fly, for even such painstaking studies
as that Of Daniel d. Jackson, OF New
York city, who by means of fly-traps
placed In various places, showed re-
markedly close coincidence between
the prevalence of flies and the onset
fatal cases OF typhoid fever. The con-
vincing evidence is that flies have
been caught with the goods.
1t is an old device, almost as old as
the science of bacteriology, to let fly
crawl about on steriilzed plate Of
nutritive gelatin such as is commonly
employed for growing cultures of bac.
terra. At first there Is no sign; but,
after q few hours in the incubator the
insects track on the gelatin is out
lined in fourishing colonies Of mi
crobes. Virtually every time the fly
has put down one of his six feet, he
has planted at least one germ. A
march Of one inch results in a hundred
vigorous cultures.
1t is pretty clean fly that does not
bear 1000 germs. A fairly dirty one
will carry $4,000. A fly just back from

SIX MILLION GERMS PER FLY.
One of Natures Masterpieces For
Spreading Fatal Diseases.

Regarded as contriyance for dis
seminating the germs of fatal diseases
the fly is one of natures master
pieces. A fairly large bacterium is as
much smaller than fly than fly is
smaller than an elephant. The mi
crobes of many of our ordinary con.
tagious disorders are a thousand
times more minute than this. The
insect, moreover, is equipped with
spines, hairs. folds, cavities and pro-
jections innumerable for microbes to
cling to. In addition, each of its six
little feet has the sticky pad which we
used to call sucker, adhesive enough
to hold the fly on window pane, and
therefore just the thing for picking up
germs by the hxndred. One may well
credit reports Of = single fly. filthy
from swill barrel and loaded with
$4,000 bacteria of one species alone.
Moreover. the fly, living on infected
food, takes the microbes into it's own
digestive tract, carries them about for
days, and deposits them by thousands
in the "fiy-specks." There, for ex-
ample, bacillus tuberculosis may life
for two weeks.
IL would be bad enough If the fly
merely crawlei about in the sputum Of
a tuberculosus patient or the dejecta
OF case Of typhoid, and then simply
infected theIfood on the way to their
mouths. It does worse tnan this: 1t
starts a culture OF the deadly germs
in the food which we eat tomorrow. and
by the time tomorrow arrives the sin.
gle microbe has become thousand.
Here is a sample Of class Of facts
which may well give pater familias
pause At one Of the Connecticut Ag-
ricultural Experiment Stations. by way
of finding out how many bacteria a fly
can transfer to a milk jar, they tried
shaking up flies in sterilized water and
estimating the numpers washed or.
The record number was 1lS,S00,00O
from IS individuals. or more than g.
100000 apiece.
Almost overnight, we are beginning
to realize where the fly is born and
bred, and where his travels take him,
and what is 1t he washes off into the
milk. Certain facts are coming to light

unrest Of labor and the possibilities
of unreasonable demands. Railroad
managers are generally willing to
make moderate concessions to their
employees; but are finding that stock
holders also are insisting upon nav.
ing share in any prosperity which
the railroads may be enjoying. Sew
eral prominent railroads have al.
ready increased their dividends. and
there are rumors Of others to follow.
Under such circumstances it is not
surprising that stocks are firmly held
and generally receive a preference
over bonds.
General trade Is fairly active. Here
and there weak spots may be found
where an excessive adj.
vance in prices has checked con
sumption and distribution Cotton
goods have already receded some

named and the decline was quickly
followed by better demand for
fabrics. Our cotton manufacturers.
however, are stIii embarrassed by
the high price OF raw material In
the wooden industry the large mills
are generally busy, but some of the
smaller concerns are suffering from
a paucity of orders. The iron and
steel trade is in good form, and the
'outlook promising. Later on the
railroads are sure to be heavy buy
.ers of equipment, and other ma.
'terials; and this industry will be
stimulated by recent security issues
more than any other, In other
branches OF trade conservative
spirit is displayed, owing to the high
level of prices which induces caution
on the part of bankers in making ad.
vances, and prevents distributors
from carrying large stocks. The com.
mercial outlook, however, is gener.
ally satisfactory. Thus lar agricui-
.tural prospects are equally so. Far,
mers are enjoying almost unprece-
denied prosperity, and appear to %
possessed with the idea of holding
their produce back for the highest
possible results. Whether or not
they will ovei.reach themselves in
this respect remains to he seen. The
new crops are not very far distant
and there is a point beyond which
1t will be imprudent for producers to
hold their products from the market
1t will not do, moreover, to overlook
that the high tariff are producing a
strong undercurrent of political dis
quiet. A renewed period of tariff
agitation is almost certain, but this
is matter of the distant future and
may not have any immediate bearing
upon the stock market
The monetary situation is generally
sound. Rates are firm and may pos
sibly show some sharp fluctuations
during the coming week. Before long
howeyer-probably by the middle OF
April-easier rates will prevail. and
there will be nothing in this respect
to interfere with the resumption Of
Stock Exchange activity. For the
present, we would advise conserv.
atism in Stock Exchange operations;
because the immediate outlook for
money, labor and the London market
is uncertain.

New York, March "a.
Holiday quiet pervaded the stock
market at the close of the week.
Many prominent operators are still
absent on Easter vacations. and this
also tended to discourage activity.
The most important feature of the
week was the offering of $50.000,000
New York City Ans. The issue was
la success, inasmuch as it was largely
over-subscribed, and the prices
realized were fair, considering un-
favorable conditions. The credit OF
New York city is unimpaired. yet
bond issues have been coming along
with great frequency, and the market
has been we'll ii not oversupplied. 1t
is estimated that about 100000 of
this issue were placed abroad, which
is satisfactory, especially in view OF
favor stocks more than bonds. The
latter yield only a fixed income, and
In times like the present when the
cost Of living has greatly expanded,
those dependent upon investments for
their incomes prefer stocks which
offer better returns and chance Of
increased dividends.
The stock market is in waiting
attitude and is likely to so remain
until the April settlements are over
and the labor outlook becomes more
clear. Funds withdrawn previous to
the first of April for the usual dis
bursements do not generally return
leaving an interval or unsettlement
and possible stringency. Money Is
firm abroad as well as here, and a
further advance in the aBnk of Eng
land rate would not be surprising.
