such manner as to cause further dis
ease. The virus of infantile paraly-
sis is known to leave the infected hu-
man body in the secretions of the
nose, throat, and intestines. 1t also
escapes from contaminated healthy
persons in the secretions of the nose
and throat. Whether it ever leaves
the infected body in other ways is IN
known. At one time certain expert
ments seemed to show that biting in
sects and particularly the stable fly
might withdraw the virus from the
blood of infected persons and inocu-
late it into the blood of healthy per-
sons. But as the virus has never
been detected in the blood Of human
beings and later experiments with
the stable fly have not confirmed the
earlier ones, this means of escape of
the virus must be considered doubt
full. On the other hand, it has been
shown by experiments on animals, so
that the same facts should be regard
ed as applicable to human beings, that

tally made into the abdominal cavity

this it is concluded that the usua
means of escape of the virus is BY
way of the ordinary secretions of the
nose and throat and, after swallow
ing these, with the discharges of tn,
intestines.
Entrance of the Virus Into the Bod,
The virus enters the body, as
rule if not exclusively, by way of tn
mucous membrane of he nose an
throat. Having gained entrance t

those easily accessible parts of the
body, multiplication of the virus oc-
ours there, after which it penetrates
to the brain and spinal cord by way
of the Emphatic channels which con-
meet the upper nasal membrane with
the interior of the skull. Whether
the virus ever enters the body in any
other way is unknown. Cetrain ex-
periments already alluded to make it
possible that it may be inoculated in
to the blood by insects, and other ex-
periments have shown that under pc
culiar and extraordinary conditions,
it may in monkeys enter through the
intestines. But while the latter two
modes of infection may operate some
times, observations upon human cases
of infantile paralysis and upon ami
mails all indicate that the main avenue
of entrance of the virus into the body
is by way of the upper respiratory
mucous membrane-that is, the
membrane-of the nose and throat.
Resistance of the Virus.
The physical properties of the vir-
US of infantile paralysis adapt it well
for conveyance to the nose and throat.
Being contained. in their secretions,
it is readily distributed by coughing,
sneezing, kissing, and by means Of
fingers and articles contaminated
with these secretions, as well as with
the intestinal discharges. Moreover,
as the virus is thrown off from the
body mingled with the secretions, it
withstands for long time even the
highest summer temperatures, COM
plete drying, and even the action of
weak chemicals, such as glycerin and
carbolic acid, which destroy ordinary
bacteria. Hence mere drying of the
secretions is no protection; on the
contrary as the dried secretions may
be converted into dust which is
breathed into the nose and throat.
The survival of the virus in the Sc
cretions is favored by weak daylight
and darkness, and hindered by bright
| daylight and sunshine. 1t is readily
, destroyed by exposure to sunlight.

THE CITY GOVERNMENT PLAN.

The CITY government plan, as torecasted
by The Journal, has been returned TO the
committee of five for amendment eGu1va-
lent to redrafting.
Only one man at the meeting Tuesday
was found who approved the plan as SUD-
rnitted. and in this connection IT will be
recalled that The Journal, after discussing
the dangers attached to the proposed city
government, stated that not only was the
proposition abhorrent TO the people at
large, but it was not even satisfactory to
the charter board members themselves.
The proposed government is direct Oft
shoot of the aldermanic system, and IN this
lay its chief menace Aldernanic govern
ment is preferable only to anarchy. lnten-
tionally or unintentonally, the aldermanic
form Of government puts premium on IN
efficiency. The aldernanic government is
the breeding place OF graft. The aldernan1c
government is utterly irresponsible, The
aldermanic government is the most deadly
weapon of the machine The alderlnanic
government is the bright, particular orna-
ment of the ring
The Journal has already stated that it
would support an efficient city manager
plan of government il the charter board
thought the time ripe for this advance. If
the time is not ripe, The Journal will not
force the issue. But there is one thing
that The Journal, together with al public
spirited people, will fight fol-, and that is to
keep Our fair city from losing the ground
it has already gained To go back to the
aldermanic form of government would be
political atavism Contrast the wonderful
public Improvements of the past few years
made without any additional taxation, with
the wastefulness and inefficiency of alder
mania
If we cannot improve on the commission
form of government, let lis retain the com
mission form.

BUSINESS BETTER THAN EVER

Exports for the fiscal year just ended
with June amounted to $4,345, 100000 and
the imports were valued at So, 100000 900,
making total foreign trade for the year
of over six and half billion dollars, which
is much larger than any previous total in
the history of American commerce.
1t was in 1872 that our foreign trade first
lad exceeded three billion, and by 1913 had
crossed the two billion dollar mark; by 1907
had exceeded three billion, an dby 1913 had
risen above four billion, remaining around
that level until the year just ended, when
the six billion mark was exceeded. Imports
first exceeded billion dollars value in 1903
and are now little more than tfice as much
as at that time. Exports first rose above
one billion dollars value in 1892 and are
now four times as much as in that year.

THE LOST CONTINENT.

MY Dear Sir: You had a very in
teresting editorial in the Monday
morning issue of The Journal upon
Locating a Lost Continent" In past
years I made this question of the
lost Atlantis a subject of special
ings of the challenger" many years
ago outlined the limits of the sunken
continent, and later Investigations
would seem to establish the fact that
the supposed myths of the ancients
were veritable geographic history.
But write you more specially to
say that about thirty years ago the
late Ignatius DonneIly of Minnesota
published very interesting and val
liable work upon this subject, entitled
''The Lost Atlantis" The work is
probably now entirely out of print
but would well bear republication
as l know of no publication that sc
fully, clearly or interestingly dis
cusses this geographic and historic
question.
Very respectfully,
REV. EDWIN G. HUNTER.

Flexner, a recognized authority, be-
ore the New York Academy of Med
icine on July Is. The address is too
long for publication in one issue, but
will be given in several installments.
DR.. Flexner has put his discussion
into popular language which together
with his knowledge of the disease, will
make the following monograph one
of the most discussed pieces of work
of the year.-Ed.)
Nature.
Infantile paralysis is an infectious
and communicable disease which is
caused by the invasion of the central
nervous organs-the spinal cord and
brain-of a minute, filtred microor-
ganism which has now been secured
in artificial culture and as such is dis
tinctly visible under the higher pow
ers of the microscope.
Location of the MicroOrganism of
Virus in the Sick.

the microorganism causing it is term

nervous organs and upon the mucous
membrane of the nose and throat and
of the intestines in persons suffering
from the disease; it occurs less fire.

Locating of the Virus in Healthy

Although the microorganism of in
fantile paralysis is now known, the
difficulties attending its artificial cul
tivation and Identification under tht
microscope are such as to make flu

THEOLOGICAL tests for its detection
Nevertheless, the virus can be de
tected by incubation tests upon mon
keys, which animals develop a diseas
corresponding to infantile paralysi
, in human beings. In this manner tn
fact has been determined that tn
mucous membrane of the nose ant
throat of healthy persons who hav
been in intimate contract with acut
cases of infantile paralysis may be
come contaminated with the virus
and that such contaminated persons
without falling i'll themselves, ma

Relations of Virus to Types of tn
Disease.
The virus has, apparently, an iden
teal distribution irrespective of tn

forms of the disease in which definit
