SECRETED GERMS CAUSE OF HIGH
 TYPHOID RATE

New Haven, June 6-Hea1th Officer Frank w. Wright believes that the greater preva1ency of typhoid fever in this city than in other Connecticut cit ies, and in a. section where the disease is comparatively rare, as pointed out by the Journal of the American Medi- cal association, is due more than to any other source to the germs carried from the epidemic of 1901. He has abandoned the notion that the cases of typhoid are brought in from other cities, and now holds to the above idea
 Germs have been proven, he says. to be secreted for years in the clo eS and about the persons of those com ing in contact with the disease. who, while they may never have contracted the disease themselves, have connu- nicated it to others, and he cited the case of the notorious Typhoid Mary in New York, who had to be confined as a precaution against the spread of the contagion.
 In the Journal cited the point was made that New Haven had in 1912 PAS cases out of 1000; Bridgeport a little over 6 per 1000, and Hartford, one-ha1f of those reported in New Haven. "'I. can't believe said Dr. Wright, ''how Bridgeport can possibly have fewer cases than we have, T am convinced that their system of record ing and reporting the cases is not so strict as ours, for it is only with in the past few years that their rec ords have been strictly kept. While we have had many cases reported in t11is city, there have been compara- lively few deaths, and even the mild est forms of the disease have been re- ported and tests taken of them
 The water and milk supplies, pr. Wright said, were better than in many cities, and he believed contanaina tion did not result from those sources.
 As matter of fact, the health off cer and members of the board of health are somewhat at sea. as to the causes of the high rate of. typhoid in this city. They admit that it is easier to prevent the spread than to tell how it spreads

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY LUCKY.
Fierce Flames Robbed of Their Prey Through Recent Removal of
 500. GOO Documents.

The savage fire which broke out in
 the basement of the Geological Sur
 vey building on Sunday, May IS, while
 in 9 sense disastrous, did, in fact, far
 less damage than was at first sup
 posed. The bulk of the damage was
 in the large document room contain
 ing Survey reports and geologic foIios
 and a smaller number of fopogra phic maps. Fortunately, over 90 per cent.
 of the Survey bulletins, water-suppIy papers, monographs, and other reports
 had been transferred last winter to
 the Government Printing Office and
 work had just begun on the transfer into the resulting space, from. the ad- joining Annex" of the three and half million topographic maps consti- tuting the Survey stock. Thus had the fire occurred earlier the loss in documents would have been many times greater, while if 1t had occurred a little later, than it did, after the transfer ofNthe maps, the loss would have again been several hundred thousand dollars. Az it is, about quarter of a million topographic maps were slightly damaged and the stock of geopolic folios was more or less damaged by fire and water, but from so to 90 per cent. of the folios are be- lieved to be usab1e. All these folioS, the regular price of which Is 25 or 50 cents a copy, are now offered to the public at 5 cents each, with no fur ther reduction for wholesale orders. The reserve stoclk'' of the Survey publications is largely a mass of ashes and c11arred paper. Many fo these now rare books and this loss perhaps constitutes the most serious damage. A careful estimate of the damage. caused by the fire corroborates the original statement of los of $75, GOO.
 CONSTRUCTION OF NEW FIRE
 PROOF BUILDING DELAYED.
 The last session of Congress, after 26 years of more or less constant i'm portuning, authorized the construction of a new freproof Geological Survey building at a cost not to exceed $2,- 596 000, but before actual work can be commenced this amount will have to- be made available in a, regular appro- priation bill. This means an unfortu- nate delay of another year before any work can start other than the pre- Iiminary estimating by the Supervis- ing Architect of the Treasury Depart ment- It may be stated, in justice to the present rented Survey building, which is frequently referred to in the newspapers as a fire trap,'' that this is a correct statement largely because of the fact that the congestion due to the necessary crowding of very large bureau into a, much too small build ing has necessttated the erection of some two acres of thin wooden partt- tions and other internal arrangements which make the building a very bad fire risk. If the building were put to the uses intended it would undoubtedly be a fairly safe structure, as 1t Is constructed of iron and brick and was in fact the first 'ireproof'' building erected in Washington. The amount of inf1amma able material which 1t con tains, however, is sufficient to melt to the ground any building, however fire proof.
