THE MALARIA MICROBE. f In.l''Ulelit An intliv t.liial i IriHii im l.rim tll- An eminent Italian scientist, who is an acknow lcdy-d authority on malaria ami its causes, t, -lis us that no matter how sal ii rat ed w it h moisture soil may I.e. it is not of necessity unhealthy. Tin- malarial microti,- is not a produc tion of t he soil, licit her is it tin cause or effect of d'ca iny veyetahle matter. It is an im Icpein h ut oryaiiism. ami has as i. itch an individual yrow t h and de velopment as sheep a ml eat tie. It must he present in tin- soil in order to hriny ahout those conditions known as ma larial. It is an estal.lished fact- that this micri il.c exists, as it has hecu culti vated and carefully ohserved. l'or its perfect yrow th and increase, a temper ature of about sixty-eiyht dcyrcos Fahrenheit, is necessary, and there must he a certain amount of humidity in tin soil as well as free atmospheric action. Perfect ly dry soil, or even that which is only sliyhtly damp, will jiot present a favorahh Lreciliny-yround for malarial ycrins. ami they either perish altoyethcr or remain dormant until moist u re put s t he cart h into m. re favonthlc condit ions. Tin- favorite and preilis'K isitiy situations for malaria, then, are low places where there is staynant water. The colony once well established, the hroiliny sun of .sum mer ami the continuous ami steamy moist u re cause t hese sma 11 hut miyhty creatures to multiply w ith ama.iny ra pidity, ami tin :it m "sphere hecomes literally charyed with them. To re main in these localities is to inhale ami ahsi irh t hem hy the million. There is ime saviny possibility i n t in sit uat ion. and that is tin cultivation and drain jiycof the soil. Malaria will not flour ish on a thick sod, therefore a liberal sow iny of yrass ami a reasonably thor ouyh system of drainw ays and ditches arc tin safest remedies for this evil. Tree-plant iny is useless; even the euca lyptus has no prevent ive or counterac tive uality whatever. To sum lip the whole case, a yiNd hay crop is the best anti-malarial ayent that cnu he applied to low yrouu.l; for where yrass roots forma thick mat. there is little or no atmospheric action on the soil, and, coiisei pi, -lit iy. no microbes of this much-dreaded sort. Mirror Ttiat Arc Trmi.iiari'ul. A yrcat many devices are known for t":c purjxis, of cnabliuy p.-oplc in a house 1 usee what is yoiny on in the street without ojM'iiiny 1 heir windows.

Situated in the .Kyean sea. south of Smyrna, and less than twenty-tive miles from the mainland of Asia Minor, Patinos is ten miles lony, live with, ami less than thirty in circum ference. A nairow isthmus divides the island into almost equal parts north and south, with Port Scala on the east ami Port Merika on the west. Here stood the ancient city, and hcre St. John landed, writes Kishop New man in the New York Christian Ad vocate. The coast is deeply indented. Tin- clilTs rise as if out of the sea. The valleys are deep and solemn. The mountain tx-aks attain an altitude of one thousand feet, from which we had a view of the islands ami islets, of bay ami sea. of vale and summits whose mayiiiticcnce is beyond the limits of lanyuaye. lien and there the palm and the olive, the liy and the inullicrry. the cypress and the oak. the almond ami tin pine, adorn the island and yivc industry to t lie jK-ople. Five thousand jK'ople dwell then in jicace, industri ous and quiet. Order rciyns. and one policeman is the yuardian of life and projuTty. ' Palmos is one of the ""for tunate isles." No Turk lias trodden its soil; no mosque shadows its land scaK. The small yoveriiuieiit tax of twenty-five hundred dollars is annually carried by a deputy to the pasha of Kliodcs. It has never had piracy nor slavery nor the playue. The air is clear and heavenly. The iojle are lireek Christians, yetitle, intciliyciit and happy. As we passed throuyh the streets they caiui; to the door and saluted us with yviiuiue hospitality. From the early dawn till our arrival, the hold, massive, south west erti cliffs of Pat in. s, like some huye cyclopcan wall risiny from the sea, appeared to view, and ayainst this dark liackyround a solitary sail was seen, white in the iiioininy liyht. moviny slowly in the liyht breeze toward some neiyhlioriiiy islam). The approach was enchant iuy; hour after hour ill the stillness of the dawn we drew nearer and nearer; the illusion of nearness was fascinatiny, yet deceptive. The winds ami the waves had indented the rock-lxiund shore and carved out many a yrotto which res. nuclei to the voice of the deep. Now Mount Klias was distinct ly seen, a thousand feet from sea level, crowned w'.th a white temple to the prophet, and anon the white city ap-H-ar'd on the distant hills which dus ter around the "Monastery of St. John the llivine." As it was near tlie-ireck Faster, a month later than the Latin, an ancient custom was observed, and the exterior of each dwclliuy was whitened in memory of the yreat event. S.oii we entered the quiet har bor of La Scala, land-locked, describ iny two-thirds of a circle wherein ships were at anchor. The lower town, the villaye of Scala. the principal port, is on the east side of the isthmus, on the shores of a quiet little bay. wherein one-third of the people live, mostly merchants, w ho deal in tiys. yrapes and other fruits. The upjKT town is on a lofty hill, half au hour's rule up a steep road paved with huye round stones, hard to the foot of man and beast. Our arrival excited the little villaye. Men, women and children looked ujHn us wouderiuyly. Crowds followed us, yave us flowers and wel comed us to their homes. At the yate of the monastery the monks received us in a formal and yracious manner, ami we were yuests in the "Monastery of St. John the llivine," uu the "isle that is called Patinos."

Tin process, says the Pittsburyh llispatch, is said to render jiossible extraordinary modili cat ions in the iKiuqiict ami body of the vintaye, and the suyycstioii has Wen made that it luiyht Ik employed with advantaye in the correction of faults frequently apparent in California wiiii's, arisiny from the richness of the soil on which the yrapes have Wen yrow u. Hut the teniperiny of wine is only one of many uses to which elect ricity is now put in the w ine-produciny in dustry. In an establishment in Al ycria, w here the Arab laWr was uncer tain ami unsatisfactory, a yciicm-tiny plant has been erected for doin.y the whole work. The plant consists of a comjiouiid dynamo and a steam ciiyine. The current from the dynamo is util ized for liyhtiny purjioscs, and for the operation of seven electric motors, ranyiiiy from two to tcu effective horse-power. One motor ,1 rives a oue toii crane, which lifts boxes of yrapcf? from the yround floor to tin hcatiny room; three motors oi-rate the Watcrs aml presses; ami the reuiaiiiiiiy three are coupled direct to the centrifugal pumps, which keep the must moving- in the tuns. The work of the electric motors is extremely variable, and consequently there is much fluctuation in the load ol the yeiicratiny dynamo. All trouble, however, in the liyhtiny circuits is ol- viated by a perfect system of regula tion. Ol. 1-1 line Weather I'rophet. What is s.upjiscd to Ik the oldest 1 European lmok on meteorology.

I Trim Little Vessels That Are Seen on Chesapeake Bay. flow the Hlvalvea Are dragged from Their Halt Water lieda Tim.Ii and Method, of W ork of the Oy.ter nieu KellluK the t'atrh. These vessels are usually manned hy four or five men and a cook. A yood supply of food is always taken on lard before leaving port, hut should this run short there are plenty of the choicest oysters to W had for the oJK'niiiy. Iu Chesapeake hay. says ti e Wash inytoii Post, the oyster is in.liyc nous, and there and in its tributaries arc where the "Wds" are located. To these the "sea farmer," or oysterman. goes, loads up his lniat with "seed. " and. sail ing to his grounds.' throws off his cargo of young oysters. Infant oysters so treated are called '"layovers." Standing on the deck of each oyster bout is a tall machine, consist iny of two iron uprights w ith a reel mounted Ik tween them, at the end of w hich is a crank and a system of coys ami ratchets. This is the "winder."' Coiled around the winder is an iron chain, to which is attached the "dredge." The dredge is made o tan inturod ami a hay sha'R'd web of interwoven iron rinys. and a row of teeth fastened to t he tooth bar is near the lower end. At the side of the Ixtat are long iron rollers, over which the chain and dredge rolls, dredge catches and "chocks." Such is the tackle used for the planting, trans planting, and catching of the oyster. j'l'he spawn of the oyster is deMsitel during the summer anil adheres to some object ill the water. An old shoe, a loittle. a lost anchor, or the cast-otT shell of a crab is as good as anything for the young oyster to cling to until he has the nerve to let go and paddle his own canoe. In aWut two weeks it is apparent to the eye that these objects have become covered with enterprising young oysters. A sinyle oyster sln-il will hold hundreds of them. In a year they are as large as a nickel, and in three years they will Ik marketable. A great many oysteriucu raise their own seed. It is done by tiding the oyster shells which have been o-m-d at the restaurants ami bringing them to their beds, where they are thrown overlioard. This is done usually be tween July and August. The spawn adhering to these shells soon forms thrifty young oysters. When inshore oysters are taken into deep water it is called transplanting. After they have Wen ah.ut a mouth iu deep water they are gathered for the market. Sometimes strong winds so cover these transplanted oysters with sand and mud that the dredgers can not reach them. Some oysters are marketable iu a year, while others re quire from two to rive years. When the oyster Wat arrives at the '"grounds" the anchor is cast and the dredge thrown overloard. A ric is always attached to the dredge to pre vent its loss in case its chain breaks. Then the anchor is shipMd sail set. and the boat sails over the grounds, dragging the dredge behind. When she is "brought to" the cranks turn and the rattling chain brings slow ly ti the surface the dredge and its catch. It is hauled aboard over the roller, and its contents, consisting of crabs, craw fish, young sharks, rish, seaweed and oysters, are dumped on t he deck. The lish are thrown back in the water, but if "Wrers," "iiinks," or starfish are found they are killed, for they destroy the oyster. The dredge is iluiiiM-.l ovcrWard again and the Wat sails hack over the same grounil. and so sails from daylight until dark. llefore the dredge was invented a wide rake, with curved teeth and a long handle, was let down into the beds. and hy hand the oysters were hauled on deck. This was called 'tonguing." There is as wide difference Wt w ecu a "tonguing iron" and a "dredge" as there is Wtween a hand scythe and a twivhorse reai,HT. From heaps of oysters on the deck the Wst are separated from the "plants," undcrgrown oysters and "trash." For this purjiose the culler uses as slender hammer called a "cull ing iron," that is round at one end ami flat at the other. With this he hauls the oysters towards him and knocks the clusters of oysters apart and sorts them into piles called "cullings," 'se lects" and "extras." The "plants," under-grown, and empty shellsare throw u hack, as they help keep the "ground aliove the uiud." The night is always welcome to the oysterman. for his work is hard, though accompanied hy much novelty. The coming up of the dredge is always at tractive, for its gatherings are never alike. NOT DEGENERATING. Mankind la No Hanker of Heruinlng a C Kace of itwarfa. It appears from the results of scien tific measurements recently made in France that the average stature of man is neither increasing nor decreas ing. The skeletons of the men who inhabited France at a period when Eu rope was the home of lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, hyenas and reindeer are of very nearly the same size as those of the French jteople of to-day. Y'et, says Youth's Companion, the surroundings amid which these early men lived were remarkably different from those enjoyed by their suc cessors. Their Wst bImkIcs were caves, and to hold possession of them they had to wage warfare upon such tierce t .easts as the saWr-toothed tiger and the cave War. Without our modern weapons it R-ould seem that they should have iios sessed superior bixlily powers, but there is no evidence that they did. They had human cunning, however, which always prevails over brute strength. Later came the ancestors of the Cauls and Franks, and thev sem to have slightly exceeded the cave men iu ktature. and also to have Wen a trifle taller than their minlem descendants. One interesting fact shown by the measurements is that there has Wen a perceptible gain in the stature of women as compared w ith that of men since the days of the tiger fighters in France. Taken as a whole, this evidence shows that there is no danger that mankind w ill Wcome a race of dwarfs, and no likelihood of their devclopintf into giants. . . , fohty-six marriages a day.
