One of the most interesting features oil
medical treatment recently has been the
introduction Of incubation to combat
disease. A few years ago vaccination was
the only incubation the average man
knew anything about. To-day incubation
is the first step in the treatment OF every
contagious disease. Tomorrow inocula-
ton against the possibility Of CONTAGIOUS
disease is likely to he as commonplace
as vaccination is already.
The sudden recognition Of incubation
as the requisite treatment for contagious
diseases has led TO a great demand TOT

unsuspected by most of us, new probes
sion has sprung up In our midst-geIm
farming raising the bacteria OF typhoiH
and scarlet fever. diptheria and plague
cholera and meningitis. 1t has great
future and is by no means overcrowded.
There are now twenty-five bacteriologi-
cal or germ farms in the United States
the majority of them established only
within the last decade. The business OF
farm is to raise colonies or cultures oil
germs: to inoculate animals with cumula-
tive doses Of the poisons produced by the
germs. until the animal becomes immune
to the effects Of the disease in question
and to prepare from the blood OF the
immunized animals serums and bacterial

A DEATH LABORATORY.
The most important germ farm in the
neighborhood of Manhattan is situated
out on the beautiful countryside near
Pearl River, twenty-five miles up the
Hudson. just north Of the Jersey-New

The use Of the roofs by escaping crim-
mails is so old and so well known that it
hardly has a place in any present article.
but the employment of the roofs by gangs
Of boys who are at odds with one another
is not so generally known about. When
a gang fight is in progress in one Of the
streets certain cOuriers and scouts are
dispatched to the roofs, sometimes for
strategic purposes, sometimes for the
consideration of means TO flank the
enemy. but more often for the purpose of
tearing bricks from the chimneys to drop
upon the heads Of the opposing gang.
1t is due to a sklful use OF the roofs that
the gang I'm West 18th street routed its
rival of a block below in times not long
gone by. and afterward made life miser-
able for the residents OF the block. The
difficulty of proper police supervision of
the roofs is very great and they made the
most OF il.
The janitor of q certain tenement on
10Th street drove out these gangsters, and
when they showed disposition to re-
taliate with fist and lead pipe, he let
loose a large dog that effectually routed
them. They then conceived the idea Of
using the roofs to get square" with him,
which they did very effectively.
