explored the drifts, or subteranean

mine; and when they got to the bottom
they smelled fire; but it was not until
they had travelled hundreds of yards
through the old drifts that they came
upon the scene of the tragedy. The un
fortunate man had selected rather
spacious chamber for the awful deed.
AS he was literally blown to pieces,
death was instantaneous; but the dyna

this was the fire which the men smelled.
There is no need to dwell on the sad
and shocking scene.
William Harvey was an industrious,

OISEA0C.
Great confusion remains in the minds
of even generally well educated and
we'll Informed people concerning what
is important and what is unimpOrtant
in the causation and prevention Of dis
ease. 1t is difficult for most Of US to
get away from the superstitions which
filled our youth and the teaching of
mistaken beliefs which were neld by
most learned health authorities of d
few years back, but are now obsolete.
One of the most persistent illusions is
that anything which mas disagreeable
odor, especially when it is associated in
ones mind with something which is
held to be dirty" constitutes men
ace to health Thus, in the minds of
many city people, the presence of pig
sty within the corporation limits is
thought to be dangerous to the health
of the neighborhood In this connec
ton | was amused by an instance which
occurred in western state in the dis
cussiOn of a paper L read on public
health administration. A very intelli
gent clergyman cited as evidence OF a
lax health administration in his town
the fact that the health officer would
not prosecute citizen who kept pigs in
his back yard. AS a matter of fact the
only pigs within city limits that are
really menace to the public health
are the dead ones which have not
passed under the discerning eye Of d
federal meat inspector and are only
partially cooked before eating.
Important Facts in re Drinking
Water.
Our fancies regarding drinking water
similarly, are quite likely to be faulty
and dangerous. For instance, the old
teaching that running water purifies
itself is only partially true. Clear
sparkling water may harbOr more ty
phoid germs for example than the most
murky water. Indeed, the typhoid
germ is "A very delicate and dainty
creature and to thrive requires fairly
clear water. 1t dies quite readily in
the sludge of septic tank. While wa
ter is purified as it tumbles over rocks
by exposure to air the greatest factor in
its publication is time. Running water
purifes itself if it runs long enough
because disease germs don't as a rule
survive long outside the body
This fact leads the modern sanitarian
to give his main attention not to things
which surround us, but to people wh(
harbor disease germs and discharge
them where they may be readily taken
up and seeded into a new victim whose
physical condition is such as to give
them the nutriment without which they
cannot live. The highest salarieC

and deaths from germ diseases are de

disease germs.
To greatly increase our safety, public
health officers and the public generally
need to get the new conception O.
cleanliness-need to learn that man,
dirty" things are clean and many
"clean" things are dirty. Human dis
charges are dangerous because of tn.
likelihood of their containing the germs
of human disease.
