] A RAIN or FIRE.
The Great Mstsorie Shower That
Scared Folks In 1888.

! In Scharf's CHRONICLES OF Baltimore"
there is a vivid description OF the star
ry hailstorm, the fiery meteorie show
er, of 1888, and old files Of newspapers
are made luminous at that date with
the Impressions of editors and contrib
utors. One writer said it was the
grandest and most charming sight ever
presented to the vision OF man. Awak-
ened from sleep. he sprang to the WIN
dow, thinking the house was on fire,
but when he looked out he beheld
stars, or fiery bodies, descending like
torrents" The shed I'm the adjoin-
ing yard to my own," he wrote, was
covered with stars, as l supposed, dur
ing the whole time" Professor Ohm
stead Of Yale college thought that the
exhibition was the finest display Of
celestial fireworks that had Deen wit
messed since the creation of the world,
although he, too, while knowing its
character, was sufficiently imbued
with the theological spirit of the time
to believe hat 1t was a solemn portent
that carried a divine warning.
One editor whose comment upon this
phenomenon was probably more quoted
than any other he eve made said:
1--WE pronounce the raining fire which
we saw on Wednesday morning an
awful type, a forerunner, a mercfful
sign. of that great and dreadful day
which the inhabitants Of the earth will
witness when the sixth seal will be
opened. Many things occurring In the
earth tend to convince us that we r
now in the latter days."

"Bert Bryan, 80 years old,
who says he is a horseman from

Yesterday morning and was

Fighting the Fly.

With the season that Is pass.
ing there comes to temporary
conclusion the most vigorous,
concentrated, determined war
fare ever waged against the
house fly, more appropriately
and correctly known of late as
the typhoid fly." 1t seems that
if anything definite about this
pest has been discovered, it is
that the fly spreads contagion,
and especially the TYPHOID fever
germ. In Albany the authorities
came to this conclusion and IN
Washington, where there has
been an outbreak of typhoid,
the doctors i'll general share this
opinion.
BY systematic work carried
on by medical men and Others
interested in the general welfare,
the public has been systematic
ally advised of the dangerous
character of the fly and has been
taught how to fight it. Its lie
history has been explained, and
the necessity shown of destroy
ing it's breeding places. The
season is not yet ended, but it is
not too soon to consider the
manner in which the fight against
the fly is to be carried on next
year.
Medical science in these days
is concerned even more with the
problem of preventing disease
than it is with curing it. The
brightest minds in the profession
are engaged in seeking out and
localizing the germs of different
diseases, ana then III learning
how to destroy those germs. It
has been found that innoculatlon
is practicable incombating other
diseases than small pox, and
there is constant advancement.
Sometimes, however the efforts
Of medical science are baflled bv
the Indifference of the public, and
until lately this seemed to be the
case with the common fly. NoW,
however, the public is awake,
and it has been making a splendid
fight. In few years, with con-
tinued well-directed effort, the
disease-carrying fly may become
a positive rarity.

Secretary of the fair, Shirley
Christy in the big exposition
hall. One of the Salt River Valley

ment, which will cost not less

of Cochlse Co. are preparing ex-
hiblts of Aparian implements

that county according to the
estimate of the Cochise Co. fair
commissioner to be the banner
bee county of Arizona. Among
other exhibits in this department
of the fair will be facsimile OF
