Maxine Thinos Hum In Rome,

The Romans had three recognized
methods of applauding-the bombus,
the imbrices and the testae. The word
bombus did not carry any allusion to
explosives. On the contrary. this form
of applause was the most decorous, in
asmuch as it consisted merely of a
humming or buZZing noise. Thus in a
way the Romans were the first Ito
make things hum in public Assem-
bly, The bombus was not the chief
feature the Romans had to offer in the
way of applause The imbrices meant
a demonstra ton made with the hollow
of the hands The testae meant the
striking together of the fat portions of
the hands From this we may con
clude that the Romans clapped. but
there is no certainty on this point

PREVENT TYPHOID MENACE
Suggestions From An Authority
Given for Means Of Protection
Against the Disease

The menace of typhoid fever in
country Districts menac arising from
polluted drinking water-is thoroughly
considered in a report by Myron L.
Fuller, Of the United States Geological
Survey, in which the various sources
of pollution are indicated and sugges-
tons are given for ans of protection.
Typhoid fever cases are usually
greater in the country than cities, de-
spite the prevailing belief that farms,
isolated as they are from areas Of con-
gested population. are ideally situated
for obtaining pure and wholesome
water.
Failure to protect adequately the
wells in farming districts is given in
the surveys report as the most COM
mon reason for their pollution. and ig-
of the manner in which ground
water circulates Is the cause of the
faulty protection. Chemical analysis
is not rated high by Mr.. Fuller as a
means Of detecting polluted water, for
he asserts that a careful common sense
inspection of the district is usually
much more to the point.
Sources of pollution in the vicinity Of
a well or spring should be noted
wherever possible, and drinking water
should not be drawn except at safe dis
lance from them. The distance re-
quired for absolute safety varies greatly
with the character OF the rock. For
wells sunk in sandstone, slate, and shale,
100 feet may be sufficient; where the
surface stratum is composed of fine
sand 200 feet should be allowed. and
where il is limestone OIL granite much
greater distances will be necessary.
Water may run polluted in limestone
for miles, so hat wells in regions where
limestone makes up the greater part of
the surface rock should be carefully ex-
amined after rains for mud aud floating
matter, for these are pretty sure indica-
tions Of pollution.
For protecting wells. springs, and
cisterns Mr.. Fuller advocates, first of
all, water tight lining to keep out sur.
face water. Wells and springs should
always be covered and protected from
animals, dust, and falling leaves.
Watering troughs should always be To-
Gated a safe distance away. though the
custom prevails in country districts Of
having well and trough side by side.

A Quaint London Custom.

1t is curious how few persons have
noticed the ancient and quaint custom
which is observed every evening dur
ing the term In the walks Of the Mid
tie Temple of sounding the call that
warns members of the inn that II Is
time to dress for dinner In the hall at
O.. The custom is as old as the Mid
die Temple itself. where 1t alone exists.
At about $50 p. m. the warder on duty
energies from a side door of the hall
with m old fashioned COW horn. richly
ornamented with silver, and, COM
mencing in Fountaincourt. blows a
sustained blast on it, which he repeats
In New court. Essex court. Brick court,
Pump court, Elm court and at the n
trance to Crown Office row. The whole
operation lasts about ten minutes, and
when it is over the warder, who is a
kind Of beadle in plain livery, returns
the horn to the buffers pantry. No
body seems TO take any notice of the
horn blowing except small boys and
ticket porters, who occasionally char
the warder while he is engaged in his
musical Observation-Disclosures Gazette.
