EPIDEMIC OF THE DISEASE
THREATENS RIVER CITY AND
SCOTT COUNTY.
FIFTY CASES REPORTED;
CAUSE Is NOT KNOWN
Believed That II May Be Due to Low
Stage Of Water in Mississippi-Some
Physicians Think Impure Milk Sup
ply May Be the cause-Warnins Is
Issued.

Davenport, Aug. 22.-Davenport and
Scott county are in the throes Of one
of the worst typhoid fever epidemics
in recent years, physicians Of the city
reporting that there are approximately
fifty cases in the city and county. Just
what the source of the infection is has
not been determined, but the most
common sources, say the physicians, is
in water n milk, the latter furnish
ing a splendid e for the multipli-
cation of the typhoid bacilli.
Water May Be Cause.
Ii is asserted by a number of the
leading physicians of the city that
responsible in q large degree for the
prevalence of the disease, while 9TH
ers believe that the most common
source of infection is in milk, thru
apparent lack of care in sterilizing
or scalding the bottles, and from
many other causes. The reason
given for the advancement of the
theory is that the river being low, n
the same amount of sewerage as in
times when there is more water with
in the banks. the concentration OF
the sewerage becomes more marked,
and the germs are multiplied by thhe
millions.
Some Believe Milk Bad.
On the contrary other physicians are
of the opinion that the wtaer system
of the city being of UGH a high degree
of perfection, the water being boiled,
there is small likelihood Of the germs
ever surviving the process.
Altho the source Of the infection can
no be definitely stated a note of warn
ing IS sounded by the physicians for
prevention. In homes where patients
are being taken care of minute precau-
ton should be taken.

SALT WATER.
Deep Seas Are More Saline Than Those

Deep Seas Are More Saline Than Those
That Are Shallow.
The density Of sea water depends
upon the quantity Of saline matter 1t
contains. The proportion Is generally
about 3 or 4 per cent. though 1t varies
I'm different places. The ocean con-
tains more salt In the southern than
In the northern hemisphere. and the
Atlantic contains more than the Pa
cific. The greatest proportion OF salt
I'm the Pacific is IN the parallels OF ~
degrees north latitude and II degrees
south latitude. Near the equator 1t Is
less. and In the polar seas 1t Is least,
from the melting Of the ice.
The sadness varies with the seasons
In these regions, and the fresh water.
being lighter. Is uppermost. Rain
makes the surface Of the sea fresher
than the interior parts. and the influx
of rivers renders the ocean less salt
at their estuaries.
Deep seas are more saline than those
that are shallow, aud inland seas COM
municating with the main are less salt,
from the rivers that flow into them.
To this. however. the Mediterranean
is an exception. owing to great eVap-
Grafton and the influx OF salt currents
from the Black sea and the Atlantic.
The water in the strait Of Gibraltar
at the depth of GO fathoms Is four
times as salt as that ut the surface

Young princes and counts served the
repast. There were invariably four
courses of six dishes. The emperor
had no one to carve for him. He be-
gan by cutting his bread In pieces
large enough for one mouthful. then
attacked his plate. He often used his
fingers while he held the plate under
his chin with the other hand.
When he felt thirsty he made a sign
to the doctor standing by the table;
then they went to the sideboard for
two silver tagons and filled n goblet
which held about measure and
half. The emperor drained 1t to the
last drop, practically at one draft.
During the meal he never uttered q
