FoiIing A Faklr.

A story used 10 be told at Cairo OF Sir
Richard Owen during one OF his soiourns
in Egypt. The great naturalist was seated
in the shade on the veranda at Shep-
peard's hotel when the inevitable snake
charmer came TO him and produced form
his bag a lively specimen OF the horned
asp-the deadly cerastes. The professor
gazed and, nothing daunted, stopped and
plucked the horns from the head OF the
reptile whgglIng at his feet, remarking to
a bystander that the man would probably
think twice before trying TO palm oil upon
any oneelse ahamlesssnake as a cerastes
by the aid Of couple fish bones. With
anybody else the charmer would prob
ably have succeeded. He had tried II on
the wrong man.

Sunshine A Germicide.

Sunshine is an amazingly potentgernii-
eide for the farm housekeeper and IN the
dairy and stables. The practice OF eX-
posing cooking and other utensils used IN
connection with food TO direct sunlight
makes use OF this fact, although eompar-
ativeIy few appreciate exactly the work
done by the sun in this regard. Probably
only those who are acquainted with tests
which have actually been made realize
how quickly sunshine kills disease germs
exposed TO il. Hence the following tests
may be generally instructive and interest
ing:
A pasty. creamy mass OF tuberculouS
material. which was proved TO contain
uncountable numbers OF virulent tuoercle
bacili, was obtained from tuberculous
COW and spread in thin smooth translucent
LAYERS on sheets OF glass, pieces OF wood,
and strips OF muslin. Some OF the sheets
OF glass, pieces of wood, and strips OF
muslin were then placed outdoors on
moderately warm, clear, calm day where
the sun could shine on them, and an
equal number were placed in dark room.
After - minutes exposure TO the sun. the
tubercuouS material on the glass, wood,
and muslin still contained large numbers
OF living, virulent tubercle bacili, which
were proved 10 be fully capable OF caus-
ing tuberculosis, but after 30 minutes ex-
posure to the sun no living tubercle bacilli
could be found every test that could be
made proved that they were all dead.
Similar tests with quite large opaque
masses OF tuberculouS material, larger and
denser than any tuberculouS person is
apt to expectorate, proved that the bacllli
in such masses on glass are still alive
after 4, but entirely dead in less than s
hours. and still alive in the material on
wood and muslin after s, but dead in less
than 10 hours.
The tuberculous material in thin layers
on glass, wood, and muslin, kept in a
dark room, was proved 10 contain fully
virulent living tubercle blcili after 30
days. The Contrasts remarkable, tuber-
Gle bacilli OF the same kind, on the same
kind OF material, dying in smaller NUM-
Der OF minutes in the sunshine than the
number of days they remain alive in
dark room.
As most varietieiies OF disease germs
are more easily destroyed by germicides
than tuberce bacll, and as tubercle ba-
cilli. in the thin layers IN which they are
likely 10 adhere 10 clothing, blankets,
rugs, draperieS, furniture, walls, floors,
etc, are killed by the rays OF the sun in
less than an hour though they remain
alive in dark places a month and longer,
il is reasonable to draw The following
conclusions:
(a) As a general sanitary principle IT
is desirable that all dwellings, stables,
etc, should be so constructed that an
abundance OF sunshine can reach their
interiors.
ID As a general protective measure
against disease germs, il is excellent
practice to expose utensils for handling
milk. and milk cans after they have been
cleaned, to direct sunlight, and 10 hang or
spread wearing apparel, blankets, bed
ding, rugs. horse blankets, etc, period
ically where the sun can shine on all
parts OF them.

ally he was the chief witness, and the en-
tire case hinged upon the energy with
which he had displayed his warning signal.
A grueling cross-exsmination left Ras-

frantically, but the driver OF the carriage
paid no attention TO il.
