Is it possible for one man to commu
nicate disease to another by the shaking
•f hands?
If this qnestion be true, should the
custom be abandoned or should it be
modified under medical instruction so
as to minimize the danger?
The existence of micro-organisms
inimical to lifo and health has been es
tablished beyond dispute. Dr. Breiter
founds his thesis, recently printed in
The Medical Record, on this hypothe
sis. But his leading point, insisted up
on with much force, is the danger whioh
is hidden in the apparently harmless
and sometimes pleasing custom of shak
ing hands. He says:
"That the surface of the human body
is a very hotbed for the propagation of
a great variety of mlcro-orgauisms
Fuerbinger, Mittman, Bizzozero, Ma
gi ora and Welch have elnoidated most
oonolusively. It is certainly beyond the
shadow of a doubt that in the presenco
of a predisposing factor and sometimes
even without that the microbio diseases
are ushered into existence by their Indi
vidual prototypes, this being essentially
brought about by oontact in some way
at tho two contingent forces. Modorn
surgery is founded on this prinoiplo.
The carefulness with which we prepare
our bands and surgical instruments be
fore and after a surgical operation well
exemplifies the importance of a famil
iarity with its dangers in every sense.
"We recognize that many of our mi
orobio diseases, especially of tho exan
thematic type, eliminate their toxic ele
ment vory largely through the medium
of the skin, which undergoes extenslvo
exfoliation, disseminating tho poison far
and wide. Isolation is resorted to and
enforoed most rigorously, thereby check-
I ing the spread of the disease, and then
/ disinfectants lavishly used cause the de
struction of the offending armies. In
the era of soiontiflo prophylaxis conse
quent upon the introduction of tho mi
croscope, bacteriology and antiseptios
wo find a steady decline of epidemics
either developing in tho outer world or
in our hospital wards. Yet accidental
inoculations of tuberculosis, smallpox
and vaooinia, as well as more horrible
diseases, still exist and are but demon
strations of either an unavoidable cause
or a faulty observanoe of established
data."
Dr. Brelter gives a thorough discus
sion as to what may be the result of con
tact of the hands. He declares that with
men who are.of cleanly habits, bnt who
have acquired disease and suoh as they
would wish to hide from their fellow
men, the specific bacillus of this diseaso
has been found in filth collected from
the band. He has found tuberolo bacilli
in the dirt taken from the hand of the
man suffering from tuberculosis, the
Klebe-Loeffler microbe among oases of
•uspeotcd diphtheria and had no doubt
that thespeoific germs of every microbio
diseaso may and would be found in mil
lions on the surfaces of the hands if
proper experimentation wore made. Ha
proceeds as follows:
"Many victims of scarlet fever, both
in the early and desquamative stages,
especially the latter, are walking the
■treets of every large city ready to in
graft upon tho moist hand of any chance
acquaintance the prolific virus of the
> disease. The same may be said of per
sons with pulmonary tuberculosis,
wbose hands and handkerchiefs, through
oonstant wiping of the mouth, are foul
and saturated with the baoteria laden
expectoration of tho disease. Tubercu
losis of the hand, the lesion large or
small in area, often painless and un
recognized as such for a loug while and
perhaps untreated, is by no means an
Infrequent occurrence. Scabies, wo
know, has a marked predilection for tho
hand. Need 1 mention others? Now
whether these conditions are the result
of hand to hand contact or not does not
matter. The conditions themselves are
dangerous elements, und it is the con
sideration of such factors in tho causa
tion of disease that wo are studying.
"Of courso the mucous membrane
serves as a better pabulum for the inva
sion and development of micro organ
isms, bnt tho skin is not absolutely neg
ative in that respect, and if it were it
j would make little difference, as tbo
J two, skin and mucous membrane, oro
f very often in close apposition with each
I other. Wo kuow that the hand has car
/ ried bacteria to the mouth, disseminat
i ing contagion in that way. Typhoid fe-
I ver, Asiatic cholera, diphtheria and oth
k er diseases aro known to have been pro
w duced that way. Why search through
' medical libraries for Bimilar and per
haps more conclusive evidenoe? Tbo
subjeot ha' passed the stago of novelty.
So whi'd we professional people aro by
' reason of our profession forced to invito
and then to battle—for we have antisep
tics—with these enemios, there is no
reason why we should unnecessarily and
* miller tho cloak of custom invite thorn
and then leave them to do their harm.
"Some may look npon this subject
With derision. Nevertheless the truth is
this: No matter bow small the percent
age of evil consequenoes arising from
this universal handshaking, the total
•■.umber, in view of its extensiveness,
must necessarily be great. The subjeot
is deserving of serious consideration.
Conscientious physicians and surgeons
Will acoord it."

ONCE THEY WERE MEDIUMS.
Now They Expiate Their Sine by Toealng
Balls of Blue Fire.
Close by the Northwestern tracks at
Leavitt street Is the home of the "jog
gling sisters." They were twin presti
digitators in their days of life, so runs
the tradition, and now they toss balls
of bine Are about as the juggler does
eggs, oannon balls and the like. Their
pet amusement is to stand on their
heads and toss the balls as if they were
standing afoot. The foroe of gravity
seems to bo reversed for their benefit,
for they "tosB" the balls of fire down,
fnd the little flames "fall" op. All this
is set down just as James MacCourtuoy,
the oldest settler in the neighborhood,
tells it He said the other day:
"Them broad windys over there on
the north side of the old bnilding is the
plaoe where the sisters oomes to show
theirselvea The year of the World's
fair I counted np their performances, an
they oome every 80 days. The reason
fer that issomothln I oonld never guess,
but some smart young chap here fig
gered out that it was always in the
dark of the moon. I've noticed since
that there never was no moonlight when
they got up there in the windys.
"What's the oause of their hauntin
the old plaoe? Why, sir, the story's so
old there can't no truth nor lie be made
out on it. There's no man in these dig
gin's longer'n I be, an I ken the story
only by hearsay, so to speak. I heerd it
from my granddaddy, an be said ho heerd
it when he was a young man com in
here. That mus' 'a' ben in the thirties.
Onnyways he sod that the two sisters
was persdiditators. It seems like they
give a performance in the house, which
was new then in course, an the pair of
them agreed ter be locked up in a box
thet was to be sealed on fastenod, on
then they was to get out without break
in the seals. Well, they was locked up,
but they oouldn't got out, an purty soon
they foun theirselvea so short of breath
they couldn't holler loud enuugh to be
heerd. In course they was in a room
away from the other people, so's the
oommon folk oouldn't see how the trick
was turned. When they oouldn't holler,
they tried rappin, an the others only
thought thoy was a-workin out of tho
box an so didn't pay attontion. After
an hour or so the other pooples got nerv
ous an wont in un oponed the box, an
there was the two sisters, cold doad.
They buried 'em together in the box in
the yard back of tho house, an that's
why they jugglos the fire balls upside
down like."—Chicago Chronicle.
MAKING ARTIFICIAL ICE.
How the Plants Are Constructed and Op
erated In Philadelphia.
Artificial cold or ice may be most
readily produced by tho evaporation of
a more or less volatile liquid. In tbe
first maohines constructed this liquid
was water. One-tenth of the amount of
water used was converted into ice, bnt
as it was nocessary to maintain u vac
uum in the apparatus its perfect work
ing was a difficult problem, A more
readily volatile liquid, therefore, had
to be substituted, such as liquefied sul
phurous acid and liquefied ammonia.
Being gaseous at ordinary temperatures,
they are very suitable substanoes for
this purpose. The ammouia ice machine
is the one in most general use—iu fact,
it finds exclusive application in this
city. This liquefied ammonia is allowed
to expand in colls of pipes which aro
placed in tanks filled with brine. Tho
temperature of tho brine is thus reduced
to a point below the freezing point of
water—that is, to 14-18 degrees F.
In this refrigerated brine are placed
galvanized iron tanks having the shape
of. tbe largo cakes of loe which one is
aocustomed to see in the wagons that
puss through oar city streets. After a
period of 48-SO hours this can of water'
is converted Into solid ioe. The can is
hoisted out of the briuo, warmed with
hot water, which allows tbe cake to
slip out upouSt shoot that runs into tbe
storage rooms. The gaseous ammouia
in the pipes can be need over and over
again, a large compression engino being
a part of tbe plant, which reduces tho
expense of tbe procoss. From this de
scription it should be plain that there
oan be no taint of ammonia to glvo a
teste to the ice.
The pluuts usually employ distilled
or artesian wator, so that the ice is of
the beßt quality. Whatever impurities
the water ooutuins are collected in the
white streak found iu tbe center of each
oako. Tbo pure water separates from
tho impure aud freezes first. Even ton
years ago the demand for ioe was sup
plied from natural sources, tbo har
vests from our own Pennsylvania riv
ers, which woro stored every winter in
great houses on tho shores of the streams,
being supplemented by shipments
throughout tbo summer from Maine.
There are now In Philadelphia 10 ioe
makiug plants, some of which yield
over 100 tons per day each, and the arti
ficial produot for several years has been
a serious competitor of tbo natural arti
cle. —Manufacturer.
No Negro In Booth Africa.
The word "negro" is not heard In
South Africa exoepting as a term of op
probrium. Over and over again have
Afrikander Englishmen Btopped mo
when speaking of Zulus, Basutos, Mata
bele and so on as negroes. "You in
America only know the blaoks who
come over as slaves. Our blacks are not
to be coufused with the material fouud

A Boston newspaper oomplains that
the famous Buuker Hill monument,
which when first erected was the tallest
oreation of man in this country, has
now become quite insignificant in
height. It is 220 feet high, or 827 feet
shorter than city hall towor in Phila
delphia.
Greater Glasgow, with a population
of 858,000, has only 494 medical men,

THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG. PA.
A Pew Industries Are Still Lagging.
But R. G. Dun & Co. Show a Gratifying In
crease in General Business Circles.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review
of trade Says:
With a volume of business remark
able tor the time of the year, 38 per
cent, larger than a year ago and 10.4
per cent, larger than in 1892 in pay
ments through clearing houses, it is
discouraging that one or two indus
tries are lagging. Demand for most
goods is more heavy for the season,
manufacturing works are better em
ployed and orders booked and pros
pects tor the future are more encour
aging, than at this season in any other
year of which equally definite records
exist. Exports of products continue
surprisingly heavy in spite of some
rise in prices. Treasury receipts from
customs were larger in twenty days of
January than in the entire month of
October or November.
Railroad earnings in January thus
far reported have been 17.6 per cent,
larger than last year, and 10.3 per
cent, larger than in 1892.
The rise of wheat above a dollar in
regular sales was not accompanied by
signs of speculative excitement. The
fact that cargoes of corn was shipped
during the week both to Egypt and
Russia, the very countries upon which
Europe most relies for bread stuffs
next to the United States, affected
trade not unreasonably.
For this season, at least, the gener
al demand for iron products is beyond
precedent, including 150,000 tons
steel rails for the week and 1,200,600
already this year, orders for plates so
large that Pittsburg works send away
some to olher concerns, unable to fill
all they receive ; orders for bar such
that many concerns are obliged to re
fuse more ; an excellent demand for
sheets, and fair for structural forms.
Prices of all finished products are sus
tained by the demand.
The great strike of operators in
cotton mills of New England seems as
convenient to mill owners with their
heavy stocks unsold as if they had
ordered it. Probably it will last long
enough to work off stocks, and the
print cloth market is already about 1
per cent, stronger while a slight ad
vance is noted in some other cotton
goods. With very stagnant markets
for wool, the inquiry for round lots is
mainly for three-eighths and quarter
blood.
Failures for the week have been
374 in the United States, against 409
last year and hfty-three in Canada
against sixty-five last year.
A rather curious legal decision has
been rendered at Kingston, N. Y. It
is to the effect that a subscription to
a church debt cannot be collected by
law on the ground that the subscriber,
if not a member of the church, gets
no consideration therefor. Surrogaie
Betts rules that an outsider, a non
church member, may be temporarily
worked on in his feelings by fervent
appeals to subscribe to help pay off
a congregation's debt when in his
cool headed, saner moments he would
not at all do such a thing. It may be
simply the "contagious spirit" of the
occasion that prompts him to make
the tender. Under these circum
stances the surrogate decides that
when in the cool after moments he
takes no step to make good his word
he cannot be legally compelled to do
so.

Promise of a Mild Winter.
Thus far we have experienced only
one real cold wave and that was not
a remarkable one We are now in
the very heart of winter, in the midst
of warm airs, and the grass on the
lawns and in the fields are green. We
have had little familiarty with snow
and ice. While it is always rash to
make predictions about the weather,
and while even the weather men, with
the benefit of all their observations,
frequently miss it when they only
make prophecy for twenty-four hours
in advance, still, according to preced
ents drawn from former experience,
we are warranted in the belief that
the winter is going to let us off easy.
If the cold does #bt get a good grip
prior to this time in January it is fel
dom able to catch on. Last wifiter
was similar to what this one promises
to be. It gave us few really cold
waves and those were not of long
duration.
The absence of long periods of ex
treme cold means a great deal. It
results in a great saving of fuel ; it
takes less to feed people, and it
lessens the death rate, since extremes
of temperature always prey upon the
weak among us, while moderation
prolongs life.

A Mother's
Misery.
The story of this woman is the every day history of
thousands who are suffering as she did; who can be
cured as she was ; who will thank her for showing them
the way to good health.
The most remarkable thins about Mrs.
NelMe J. Lord, of Strafford Corner, N. H,
b that she is alive to-day.
No one, perhaps, is more surprised at
this than Mrs. Lord herself. She looks back
at the day when she stood on the verge of
death and shudders. She looks ahead at a
life of happiness with her children, her hus
band and her home with a joy that only a
mother can realise.
Mrs. Lord is the mother of three children,
two of whom arc twins) until the twins
came nothing marred the joy of her life.
Then she was attacked with heart failure
and for a year wat unable to attend to the
ordinary duties of the home. In describing
her own experience Mrs. Lard says!
"I had heart failure so bad I was often
thought to be dead.
" with this I had neuralgia of the stom
ach so bad it was necessary to give me
morphine to deaden the pain.
" Sometimes the doctors gave me tem
porary relief, but in the end it seemed as if
my suffering was multiplied.
Medicine did me no good and was but

to recognize me.
