Beaten by Carranzistas.

Nogales, Ariz., Aug. 6.-After defeat
ing the major portion of Governor
Jose Maytorena's Villa army at Mas
carras, ten miles south, on Wednesday,
the Carranza forces under Gen. P.
Elias Gales began an attack on No
gales, Sonora, while American troops
lined the border to enforce if neces-
sary the order to repel any invasion
of American rights by Mexican fac
tions. Gala soon forced the Villa
troops back to the Mexican town of
Nogales. Americans crowded the
hills to watch the fighting. The Amer
ican troops, regiment of cavalry and
a machine gun platoon, lined the bor-
der. The soldiers had orders to begin
firing on the Mexicons the moment
bullets flew into American territory.
Washington, Aug. 5.-Unusual ac-
tivity in the war and navy depart
ments was evident during the day, and
an order from General Scott, chief of
staff, directing battery of the Fifth
field artillery to proceed from Fort
Sill, Okla, to Ell Paso, Tex, aroused
considerable surprise. At the war de-
partment it was stated the artillery
was ordered at the request of the
state department.

this sculptor had remolded the

RIGHTS OF W0RKERIGERN OF SMALLPOX
Doctor Greeley Claims to Have
Isolated MiCTobe.
Believes They Multiply in Mucous
Membrane of Nose at Beginning of
Disease and Thence Penetrate
Blood Vessels.

DR.. Horace Greeley of Brooklyn re-
ports to the Medical Record that he
has discovered the long-sought mi
crobe of smallpox. He found AN ap-
parently identical organism" from the
"vesicles of twenty-five cases Of sue
cessful vaccination, from like num-
ber of cases Of undoubted chickenpox,
and from five cases of recognized and
undoubted smallpox"
From Doctor Greeley's technical de-
scription of this new microbe it may
be gathered that it is spherical and
from 0.3 to O.6 microns (of O.0OO117 to
0.000234 inch) in diameter. It is in
the form of multiplying spores,
which just before division assume the
shape of figure 8, with a nucleus in
each half. These develop into branch
ing masses with spores at the end Of
the branches.
Doctor Greeley has grown them in
cultures. He believes they multiply
on the mucous membranes of the nose
at the beginning of the disease, and
the spores when shed penetrate the
blood vessels and are waited to all
parts Of the body, landing in the skin
caplllaries, where conditions of lower
temperature and more light, perhaps,
favor further proliferation. In this
connection we should remember how
the eruption favors the face and
hands"
Doctor Greeley concludes that vac
cinia and variola are identical, the diff
ference being that vaccination pro-
duces a local and at most a lymphat-
ic infection, usually stopped at the
nearest chain of glands, and repre-
sents the incubation of an organism
directly derived from a different spe,
cies of animal, and therefore probably
of low relative virulence, while small
pox is undoubtedly contracted
through the respiratory tract and is
due to one derived directly from an
animal of like species which, as
shown, through spore formation,
passes into the blood and is thrown to
all corners"

better Other children called her
Beauty and roared with laughter until
the girl designated by the name al
ways skunk unhappily away to some
far corner where no one would find
and taunt her.
So Beauty grew up for all the world
. like an unlovely, scraggly little weed
crowded in among harder plants which
never gave her room to thrive and be
healthy.
When The First Man met her, and
heard someone call her Beauty he fol.
lowed the earlier example of her fam
lily. That is he laughed-almost in
Beauty's very face. And whenever he
was alone and thought of the ungainly
young woman with her sour face, he
laughed again.
Then to keep up his reputation for
doing odd things The First Man paid
court to Beauty.
The girls family was thrown almost
into cachinnating fits, and The First
Mans friends said he must be crazy,
all of which made him the more deter
mined in his attentions.
One day when he was in a particu-
larly spiteful and contrary mood The
First Man asked Beauty to marry him,
and the girl, who was every whit as
resentful of the gibes and jest of his
friends and hers said yes.
When they were married they led a
cat and dog life, which was quite to
have been expected. The First Man
called his wife Beauty with a sneer,
and she told him in turn that she had
married him for spite and hated him
cordially, all of which was true enough
to be sure.
One day The First Man told her that
he was going away for a long time.
He said her face had made him sick;
that he couldn't stand it any longer.
She spat back sharp retort. and he
went.
After long while Beauty received
a letter from The First Man telling her
he never intended to come back She
loked In the mirror at her buttermilk
face and told herself quite honestly
that she didn't blame him in the least.
and straightway got her divorce.
