Correspondent Describes Reautl-
full Harbor Scene at Havana
Boats Of All DesIGns.

Havana, Cuba.-"Are you a Cubanf"
asked of the sailor who was taking
me about Havana harbor. writes a
correspondent of the Outlook
He answered my question with an
other: "Cap a Cuban sail boat?"
Then he added, mo, senior; we have
to come over here from Spain to sail
the Cubans' boats for them. And there
are many OF us In Cuba for that and
for other labors-more than hundred
thousand. Some come from Galicia,
where I come from; some from the
Canary islands,"
All this In Castilian Spanish. had
suspected as much. Looking more
closely at the sailor saw that his
lean face resembled those OF the north
of Spain. There are, as he said, very
many Spaniards still In Cuba--and,
for their benefit to boating hereabouts,
1t is not to be regretted.
Every day about noon breeze
springs UP here. 1t cools you a bit
after the great heat Of the city--much
too hot for most northerners-and you
sit for long time in your sailboat,
tacking about the two and half mile
wide inner harbor.
Then you sail back to Havana, and
opposite the landing place enter
quaint restaurant. Mounting to the
second story esplanade. you order
your fish in a paper bag and other sea
delicacies, and then, looking out from
amid the potted shrubs. settle down
to the enjoyment of a new view of the
harbor. F
In IT are craft OF all sorts-from
transatlantic steamers and. the great
Standard OIL boats to the coastal
steamers and freighters. the harbor

yachts, the sailboats and row boats

Vermonrs Water Sources.


The article from which the follow
ing is taken was prepared by DR..
Henry Fl. Vail of Woodstock at the
request of the commission on the
conservation of natural resources OF
the state of Vermont.
Where does our water come from?
Even-in Vermont most of our water
cones from the ocean. The great.
spiral storms, that are daily reported
by the weather bureau at Washing
ION covertliousands.of square miles
aud their winds bring clouds from
the ocean to drop their burden ol
moisture on the land.I 1t should be
remembered that tile ocean surface
of the earth is three times, as large
as the land surface. The ocean is
the great magazine Of water that
supplies the land however remote
from the shores. But the Immediate
sources of the water we use are wells,
springs, brooks aud rivers In an
uninhabited region these sources
would supply water entirely pure
and safe. II the sources are danger-
Gus in populated regions it is because
of fla, .,nt;o,, of man
1t is now perfectly well known thai
many of the diseases most fatal to
men are communicated from the sick
to the well by means of infnitel.
small germs-fving organisms-many
of which may live for considerable
time in water They are in effect
the seeds of disease. Several kinds
may be conveyed from invalids by
water to healthful persons and may
produce in them the disease existing
in the patient, Typhoid fever comes
from taking into tlie system typhoid
germs as certainly as wheat seed
sown in the earth produces wheat
plant.
Since there are many kindsol-dis;,
ease germs that may be conveyed
rom the sick to the well by drink
ing water it is exceedingly import
ant to secure the sources of water
from contamination The history Of
one case will make this clear. A
village of some two thousand inhab-
itans in Vermont was supplied With.
water from a reservoir made by
damming brook This brook ran
through farm lands In one house
was a patient having typhoid
fever 1t Was winter and the excre.
ments from the invalid were thrown
ont ou the snow. BY the melting OF
the snow the disease germs were
carried to the reservoir, and were
'Hehce distributed TO all the users OF
public watera Typhoid fever broke
out all over the village but il was
limited to those using the public
water, Thus the epidemic was traced
70 its cause.

disease germs that have been scat
tered on the surface of the soil
The clearing away offorest growth,
the blowing and smoothing of the
surface, the draining of swampy
places have all lessened the flow OF
ground water. On cultivated land
the rain flows off quickly A heavy
rain foods the brooks which quickly
drop away to a much lessened body
of water. All the processes OF culti-
vation have tended TO hasten the
flow of water from the land. This
rapid drainage may be modified and
checked by the erection of reservoirs
at convenient places near the heads
Of rivers; but this expedient is'
costly. 1t is, however, the only
method by which the water power Of
the state can berestored, and atsome
future day twill be done. The con-
tinued prosperity of the state will
demand it The future heat. light
aud power of The. state lie in the
streams that ilnw down its beautiful
valleys,
Most of the cities and villages of
Vermont, rs we'll as other states,
have systems of sewage that empty
into the streams that flow through
them The water Of the larger
streams is therefore polluted, poi
soned and unfit for use as drinking
water.
The rivers on which cities and
villages have been erected with sew
age systems emptying into them can
not be protected from pollution. The
lakes and the brooks, the wells and
the springs can be projected These
are the sources used for the supply
Of drinking water. These sources
may be contaminated either through
surface water flowing visibly into
them or through ground water flow
ing l,eneath the surface and out loi
sight.
A well is more dangerous TO health
than flowing spring. In Vermont
the springs that supply houses with
water are seldom below the level oj
the house. In few instances water
may be thrown up by using a
hydraulic ram; but usually the
spring lies at some distance from the
house it supplies, and well above its
level In such ease it is wise 10 see
that no pollution or poison can come
to the spring from aneighborinR |
house, not merely through surface
water running openly into the spring
but through the ground water. III
must-be remembered that spring
is not supplied from a hidden reser
voir Of water Rain furnishes the
water, and it comes down from the
little depression above it, more or
less remote, in the shape of ground
water
Most of the farm houses in Yer
mont have private supply of water
from well or spring. Upon the owner
depends the protection Of this source
of supply. The lives of the family
depend upon the purity Of the water.

NOTES

DR.. II. X. Bull. vice-president OF
the Board OF Education, gave
scholarly and entertaining address
TO the high school students Wednes-
day morning, taking for his subject,
Infections. He described the man
ner Of infection OF several diseases
and gave many methods to guard
against them. He said in order to
avoid infectious disease the import
ant thing is to have a strong. heal
thy body which will resist the in
roads OF disease. He said that
strong body Will resist disease be-
cause the germs cannot find a place
to grow, Just as corn sCwn upon one
OF our streets, packed hard by trav-
el could not take root; but If the
street should be narrowed. loosen
ing the soil, the corn would probably
grow. So a weak body furnishes a
fertile soil for disease germs.
DR.. Bull is to be commended for
the strong stand which he took on
eugenics. IL is certainly more i'm
portant to improve the human stock
than the stock Of pigs and horses.
Every young man and every young
woman should be required to present
n good health certificate before en-
would make our race stronger and
would save countless thousands of
innocent children from untold suf-
fering, disease and early death.
DR.. Bull emphasized the impor-
tance of breathing fresh air in the
schoolroom, in the home and espec-
tally in sleeping rooms which should
always be supplied with an abun-
dance of fresh air. The lack of fresh
air reduces the system and renders
the person liable to take cold. DR..
Bull spoke in the highest terms Of
the work Of DR.. Eorgas in the Pana-
ma Canal Zone He has transformed
n hot-bed of disease into a healthy
locality where anyone may live and
work as safely as in "A temperate
zone. Continuing his address. Dr.
Bull spoke of the danger of catching
tuberculosis from the sputum of the
patients which dries and is blown
about with particles OF dust. To
certain extent, lie stated, tuberculus-
is is now indigenous to Colorado.
In speaking of typhoid germs
which are so easily carried by flies
and which occur so frequently in
milk and water, DIR. Bull said that
one case of typhoid fever injecting
the head waters OF HANNAH Creek
would produce a great epidemic of
the disease in Grand Junction The
speaker referred to the sanitary
fountains in our school system
which are effective in preventing
the spread of much disease; and in
high terms he complimented the
work of Commissioner Holmberg in
screening off several breeding plac-
80 Il. 10 o.
which lessons typhoid fever.
The doctor gave an interesting
and scientific explanation of the way
in which infection comes in malarial
fever. yellow fever and the bubonio
plague. The address was full of
practical suggestion which will be of
great use to our high school students
and faculty.
DR.. Bull will be a welcome visitor
whenever he can come to our high
school.
