son, and DR.. Joseph Goldberger, of
the hygenic laboratory in WASHINGTON.
They have found that the dried par
ticles of the skin of the child, which
rub off in the period of convalescence
have nothing to do, as it is generally
supposed, with the spread of the dis
ease, for these physicians actually
have succeeded in inoculating several
monkeys from a child sick with meas
les.
Doctors have long tried to infect ami
mails with measles in order to study
the nature of the disease and find a
new method of combating epidemics,
but have failed so completely that it
was thought the germ was harmless
to the lower animals. 1t remained for
these two members of the United

plish this and open the way to a

measles coughs and sneezes a good
deal When this is done a fine spray
is thrown out and this carries the
germs. Any child who has not had
measles who breathes this spray will
catch the disease. A child may also
become affected by drinking from the
same glass that another in the early
stage of the disease had used. This
accounts for the fact that cpidemics
of measels so frequently occur in
schools and other places where chill
dren gather.
Measles has been considered a rath-
er mild disease, yet it ranks close to
diptheria in mortality, to say nothing
of the large numbers of children who
have been left blind or deaf through
its ravages.
The virus or germs of measels has
never been found, and it is so small
that it can pass through the pores of
porcelain filter. This has been done
in the hygenic laboratory, and mon
keys have been inoculated with the
fltrate, thus proving that the infection
is carried in the blood as well as in

Capt. Dunn wrote Mr.. Davis that il was
impossible for him to grant the privilege
but suggested that he write the warden
of the state prison.
A woman has never witnessed an exc

the statutes Miss Davis can be present
only as a guest of Tanganelli, the con-

NEW YORK, March pa report of a
series of snake studies made at the
Bronx geological gardens here shows
that snakes can be appealed to by col
ors, which are found to have marked
influence on the moods of the reptiles.
The emotions inspired are thus cata-
logued: Red, delight; baby blue. pleas
ure; yellow, contentment; navy blue,
ecstacy; brown, irritation; green. anger:
black, Indifference; purple, vanity

plains further:

rare. The red rag, of course excites the
bull 10 anger. With the snake there is
just the opposite effect, and it is red that
gives delight, while green eXcites to

AS to the effect of music on snakes, Mr..
Ditmars explains that contrary to the
general belief, snakes do not actually
hear music and have sense of mel

vibrations through the tip of the tongue,

Il came to myself about Z o'clock that

didn't know what was the trouble. !
thought 1 must be i'll. but the moment
became conscious I smelled the fumes,
of powder smoke. In a little while |
realized that she had shot me. I asked
her to go for doctor. I begged her to
go. but she delayed in the room. She
fixed her hat and her dress, but she
stayed, and all the time l lay there, fear
ing l was dying
Telephone 1 said to her; there's
the phone; telephone. for Gods sake;
there may be time yet Then she said
No. she would so for the doctor. She
arranged her hat, walked from the room
and locked the door. leaving me there to
die. Then she took a train to Newman
to my mothers home.
Denies Insinuations.
Il have been absolutely on the level
with everybody. Much has been printed
about me that is untrue. The charges of
1nfidelty and the suggestion of another
woman are all lies-lies. My wife was
the woman I loved. Any insinuation tina,
l married her for her money is untrue.
So much has been said that is false.
''The story that / took $40, 900 from her
is as unfounded as any fabrication could
be. The theory that | knew another
woman and that her hand wounded me
is without a shadow of truth. My wife
mother has written dreadful things con-
corning me. but they are woven from her
brain. They are not facts. Why, 1 never
saw her but three times. and the truth is
that she and her daughter feel bitterly
toward each other For four years they
didn't speak because of a disagreement
