No Clocks on AEGEAN Sea.

There is no need for clocks on the

SINGULAR nMhlts Water, ;,

In recent pilot chart of the British

lions OF che singular phenomenon
called white water are collected. II
is more frequently seen in the tro u.
cal parts Of the Indian ocean than
anywhere else, and II impresses some
observers as weird, CHASTITY and awe
inspiring. The ocean has milky look
and the ship seems TO be passing
through a kind OF luminous fog, in
which sea and sky appear joined and
the sense of distance is lost. The phe
nomenon is believed to be due tc
some form Of phosphorescence, but a
satisfactory explanation of it is YET

DEADLY EXTERIOR OF FRUITS
Made 30 oermless az sterllized Water
by Simple Process Of Wash.
Ing Oh Bacteria.

Professor Metchnikoff has had 50
much 70 say In recent yearn about the
enormous proportion OF diseases that
are acquired by taking bacteria into
the system on raw fruit that a certain
class OF people afflicted with the mod
ern mania which may be called germi-
phobia will be interested IN the find
ings OF Drs. Fillasler and Sartory, who
assert that a little common washing
will render the deadly exterior OF all
fruits as germless as sterilized water
These men are members OF the
French Academy OF Sciences, and be-
coming interested in the charges
brought against raw fruit they recent
ly set about the experiments OF a
simple character which proved the
complete efficacy OF cold water as q
germ chaser. They placed a few
grapes in a little water and found from
10000 TO several million germs in a
cubic centimeter In the water. A
second washing produced a few thou
sand OF the Metchnikoff terrors, and
at the end OF fourth rlnsing scarce
ly any germs could be found in the
water used.
The interesting part OF this work
was that with each washing a con-
slant decrease of germs was noted
80 per cent. being eliminated each
time the process was repeated. In ad-
dition to demonstrating how simple 1t
is to ward of all danger from germs
on fruit the Frenchman asserts that
not half the specimens which do find
habltation on fruit are harmful.

that sugar causes the decay of hui

into existence is to him a mystery,

mouths of negroes brought up on
sugar plantations, who consume more
sugar than any other class Of people.
