WHAT 1T rs AND HOW IT SPREADS
TYPHOID-WHA1
By w. c. Cotton, N


Typhoid fever is always due to
one essential cause, namely, the
typhoid bacillus living organ
ism of extremely minute Size. I'm
der favorable conditions il. breeds
with amazing rapidity.
When this germ is introduced
into the human, body. through the
mouth it may reach the intestines,
multiply there and give rise to the
disease known as typhoid fever.
Outside the human body the
germ lives but a little while.
There is on exception. In milk
the germ may multiply very rap
idly.
Typhoid bacilli are discharged
from the bodies of infected per-
sons in the excretions of the
bowels, and often those of the
bladder. -
Considerable time, usually
from a week to three weeks,
elapses between the entrance of
the germ into the body and the
development of the definite symp-
toms of the disease. The germs
may be dicharged from the body
for a considerable time before the
symptoms of the disease are rec
ognized.
A very considerable percentage
of typhoid patients continue to
discharge typhoid bacilli from the
bowels and bladder for several
weeks after the symptoms of the
fever disappear.

ASHES ON OCEAN LINERS.
Election Of Furnace Waste a Problem
on War Vessels.

Ejecting ashes from the holds of
great vessels has come to be almost
as great problem as coaling. Stor-
ing the ashes in the hold until the
end of the trip would require more
labor and time than the slowest YES
sells can afford. and the old fashioned
method of hauling the cinders to the
deck in buckets and throwing them
over the side has long since been for
gotten. When marine engines We're
beginning to develop and the coal con-
sumption increased the ash hoist was
introduced and was regarded as So
luton for the ash problem. But this
also cntailed much time and labor.
and when much more powerful en-.
gines came into service the hydroin-
iector. by which the waste was blown
through an aperture in the ships side
above the water line by water pres
sure. was adopted.
This system is still used by the mer-
chant marine. but in the case of bat.
tleShipS it entailed cutting the armor
plate. which was expensive and also
exposed vital openings in the vessels
side which might be entered or en-
larged by shells. A machine was then
invented to crush the ash. and it was
expelled through an opening in the
ships bottom by pneumatic pressure.
4 great many battleships were equip
ped in this manner. but as they in
creased in size another problem pre-
scented itself. The ash had to be kept
clear of the main condenser suctions
and the stern tubes. SO in the latest
pattern Of the English battleship the
ash is elected below the water line.
but above the bilge keel. by combined
water and air pressure after the clink-
prS have been crushed

Relief Photooraphv,

A new method of treating photo
graphic negative in order to produce
the effect Of stereoscOpic relief in the
picture has been invented by Messrs.
Maublanc and Lallier in France. 1t
depends upon the use of jets of light
thrown upon the negative in the proc
ess of reproduction in such a way as
to emphasize the lights and shadows.
1t is of special value for portraits.
Lines of light and shadow are caused
TO surround the borders and salient
points of the face and figure. thus Civ
ing to the portrait realistic appear
ance Of solidity like that obtained by
viewing in q stereoscopic two images
of an object photographed from slight
ly different points of view 1t is said
that an ordinary negative may be EN-
poyed to produce this effect. but the
best results are obtained with mega
tives taken specially for the purpose.

CRUSADE AGAINST RATS.

a public meeting was recently he'd
IN the Guildhall in London viii, Ii had
for its object the discussion of plau
for the destruction of rats and othp.
vermin in the interests not oriN ca
public health. but also of agriculture
ana commerce. A resolution w.
adopted for the immediate appoin!
ment OF Z. royal commission to inquire
into and report upon the whole sub
ject.
One of the speakers said it was cal
cuated that there was one rat to ev
cry acre of ground in England ana
Wales and that the agricultural loss

if rats were eXterminated British i'm.
portations of grain might be greatly
reduced in value. even to the extent.
it was remarked. of some millions OF
dollars annually. In the last ten years
$4,000 rats have been captured and
destroyed in the port Of London. Al
present the monthly destruction ranges
between 1900 and 1000
Fear was expressed of the communi-
cation of disease, especially the plague.

Kingdom from some foreign ports I'M
less thorough measures We're adopted
for their determination. In the bac-
THEOLOGICAL examination that was
made last year in London it was found
that only three rats were infected with
plague. but in 1902 Of G.O0O rats so
examined in Glasgow not less than 100
were discovered to be SO infected.
The scope of the resolution urging
an inquiry and the appointment of
royal commission was very broad. as
it suggested the appointment Of such
commission to inquire into:
"a The increase Of vermin and the steps
70 be taken for their destruction. (2) The
question OF what creatures are or are not
harmful to man AM his industries go
The safety and efficiency Of the various
viruses on the market and other means

ter than an earth road is the pebbles
real stones-that 1t contains.
The most common material sought
after for the binder In gravel roads is
clay. But. considering all kinds of
weather, 1t is probably the poorest &C.
menting material we have. If present
much in excess of 20 per cent Of the
mass 1t will make mud whenever there

gravels contain only enough clay to
coat the pebbles. with no free Jumps.
Such gravels are excellent for the first
layer on sandy soils. but sand gravels
are much better for the first layer on
clay and loamy soils.
To reduce the amount of spreading
to the minimum it is advisable to place
the gravel on the nine foot roadbed
by dumping two loads side by side,
stringing them out just far enough TO
make the required depth
Usually the gravel should be placed
on the road commencing at the end of
the road nearest the gravel supply so
that the teams will aid in packing As
soon as the thirty or forty rods of
gravel have been spread on the road
1t should be narrowed with spike
tooth harrow. preferably one of the
lever type. If but few teams are haul
ing the harrow may be used twice
daily-just before quitting time at
noon and again at night.
If hundred yards or so of gravel
are hauled to the road daily one team
should be working on the harrow all
the time. The narrowing should be
done the same for both courses. AS
soon as the gravel has been well wet
BY rains it should be rolled with the
best roller available.
Gravel roads are popular in Mich
gan for the following reasons: Because
they are durable and satisfactory; be-
cause they are easily built and easily
repaired. requiring no expensive ma
chinery: because the first cost is low
because they draw relatively large
state reward. frequently one-third or
more of their cost; because they are n

and keep all the money spent in their
construction at home. If you have

The cost of grading DEF ends upon the
kind and amount of earth that must be
handled and the distance it has to be
moved. Where old roads have been
regarded for the purpose of building
state reward roads in Michigan the
cost has usually run from $500 to 500
a mile. $500 being a fair average. A
few hilly roads have been graded at n
cost of more than $4,000 mile.
In clay soils trenches should be cut
making outlets into the side bitches
