Tuberculosis In Dogs.
rom the BROOKLYN Eagle.

from Tue oroOhiyu DdSAes
Beware of tuberculosis in dogs.
The authorities have proved that
there are from 1900 to $4,000 dogs in
Paris afflicted with tuberculosis. The
following is an important statement
by Professor Cabot, of the National
Veterinary School of Abort, in re-
gard to diseased dogs and cats: I'VE
should never neglect to keep clear of
dogs and cats liable to have tubercu-
losis, for innumerable are the men
who catch the disease by coming in
contact with domestic pets. They are
five hundred times more liable to the
disease than horses, for instance 1t
has been proved that at least 8 per
cent of the 200, 1000 dogs of Paris are
more or less affected, and it is the
same where there are large gather
ings of men and dogs" Professor
Cabot spoke at length about dogs
that live in public establishments,
such as restaurants, bars of every
kind, and hotels, and proved that
what with sputum, droppings and
vomiting, floors are infected with
myriads of microbes, ready to affect
men, and not only those living on the
premises, but also those who frequent
such places, are particularly prone to
contamination. Professor Cabot in
sists especially upon the danger chill
dren incur of catching the dreaded
disease from household pets, and it is
known that precautions must be
| taken against interhuman contagion.
1t is also Indispensable to guard
against animal contagion, especially
| for children, for most Of them live in
closer contact with cats and dogs
than grown people.
The Fall of Meteorites.
From the New York World.
It is reported of the fall of a large
meteorite into the Seaconnet river
near Tiverton, r. l., one night last
week that the conclusion was so great
as to break windows near by and
shake crockery from shelves. This
would make it appear a large mass
worth recovering by some museum
having in mind the remarkable col
lections of these metallic bodies from
the heavens in New York's Museum
| of Natural History.
| Although the ancients preserved
many such specimens, it Is only with
in about 100 years that scientific mer
have accepted the possibility of a
meteor surviving contact with the
| atmosphere to the extent of reaching
the earth in substantial form. Now
no one questions the fact so well at
| tested by numerous exhibits.
1t is a singular thing that with the
known fall of numberless masses OF
this kind, some Of them big enough tt
crush the strongest building ever con-
structed, they have done practically
no damage within the range of re-
corded history. Only one man is
known to have been killed by me-
teorite--in India many years ago
Only one habitation of man is known
to have been crushed-a house In
] Austria, whose occupants were unin-
| jured. England records the fall of {
| meteorite within ten feet of man
and in France one is known to have
| fallen within a few feet of a little
girl. There are other similar in
| stances.

A Cure for seasickness9

From the Munich Medical weekly.
The cause and the cure for seasick-
ness have been discovered by DR..
Fischer, of Bad Nauheim, according
to a report made by the doctor.
He announces that 1t is the pneu-
mogastric nerve which makes trouble
for those who go down to the sea in
ships. By artificially tickling this
nerve he has produced seasickness N
patients on solid land, and by CIV
ing it an opiate in the shape of an
infinitely small injection of atropin
he has lulled it to sleep during an
entire transatlantic crossing, giving
complete relief to the worst sufferers
in the stormiest weather. In the
course of a series of experiments DR..
Fischer injected drugs which acted
as an irritant to the pneumogastric
nerve, and found that there resulted
symptoms precisely similar to those
of seasickness, including nausea, von-
iting, headache, etc.
Shortly thereafter the physician
made a trip to America and return.
High winds and rough seas furnished
him plenty of material, and there
was no lack of seasick victims who
were willing to submit to any treat
ment. The doctor injected atropln,
one milligram in the case of men and
three-fourths of a milligram in the
case of women. In nearly every case
there was a rapid disappearance of
all symptoms. Nausea and vomiting
disappeared within half an hour, and
within three or four hours the last
symptoms had vanished. Even the
pulse became regular. Renewed and
heavier storms failed to counteract
the working of the drug. In only a
few cases were second injections
necessary. The drug acted most
quickly on patients whose condition
was the worst DR.. Fischer declares
that atropin, in the small quantities
necessary, is quite harmless

also very daring.

SOURCES OF WATER.

IL IS OF interest 10 note also that, re-
garding the sources OF the water, the
Biblical account says that on given
day were all the fountains of the great
deep broken up and the windows of
heaven were opened" Apparently. the
wstsr came from springs as well as from
the heavens.
According TO this ancient tablet, In the
words OF DR.. Roebel, -Four deities as
sisted In the creation, and not female
deity alone. but IL is made known that
the female deity took part In the crea-
ton This could have been deduced
from previous information found IN
the long lists of gods which have
been found. In these she was called She
Who Created Human Beings and the
Carpenter OF Mankind. which means that
she carved the first man. She was also
called the Carpenter OF the Heart. which
would suggest that she first carved the
heart Of man from wood. She had also
been called the Potter OF Mankind, which
suggests that she might have moulded
human beings from clay. This is like
the Egyptian story. On the Egyptian
walls we have pictures Of deity fashion
ing figure from clay. In the Bible we
find God making a picture Of himself in
clay.
There is a list OF Babylonian gods on n
series Of tablets. numbering about six
hundred Each OF the chief gods had
about forty names This goddess had as
many SO Assyriologists have in the past
identified various gods with each other
and tried TO put all into one system. while
IN reality there were several theological
systems This goddess. known heretofore,
but not distinguished az one OF the chief
deities. is now so recognized. In the Olo-
est times there were three ruling deides-
An. God OF Heaven; Enlil God OF the
Countries Of the World. and the Goddess
Of Nin-harsag. Lady OF the Mountain.
In the Oldest times she was the third in
rank OF the gods. Later another. Enhi'
God Of the ocean. was placed In the
third rank and she became fourth.
This statement. that these four gods
created the earth and mankind, gives US
the Oldest conception OF the creation. be-
cause later. when the city OF Babylon be-
came the capital and the kingdom OF
Babylon was created out Of the Kingdom

were created simultaneously. Yet the
story best remembered about the crea-
ton Of Adam and Eve is the tale of the
formation of Eve from rib taken from
Adam. who had previously been fashioned
out OF the dust Of the ground"
Another illustration Of the complication
Of stories in the first book OF the Pen
tateuch is found in the account OF the
food The following verse in the sixth
chapter. in which the beginning Of the
account is found. does not suggest the
theological beliefs of the Hebrews: THE
sons OF God saw the daughters of men
that they were fair; and they took them
wives of all which they chose" 1t sug-
gests some other religious system Then
follows the statement regarding the
wickedness of the world. which God pro-
poses TO eliminate by washing off the
worlds surface and starting over again
Noah is supposed TO be Informed by God
Of this purpose because Of his character
and fitness TO start the race of man
afresh. There is some uncertainty as to
the duration OF the flood, and the num-
bers OF the representatives Of the differ
ent species are not alike In the repeu-
lions Of the account.
