The menace of typhoid fever in
country districts—a menace arising
from polluted drinking water is thor
oughly considered in a report by
Myron L, Fuller, of the United Mates
Geological Survey, in which the
various sources of pollution are in
dicated and suggestions are given
1 for means of protection.
Typhoid fever rates are usually
greater in the country than in the
j cities, despite the prevailing belief
I that farms, isolated as they a re
from areas of congested population
are ideally situated for obtaining
pure and wholesome water.
Falure to adequately protect the
wells in farming districts is given
in the survey’s report as the most
common reason for their pollution,
and ignorance of the manner in
which the ground water circulates
is the cause of the faulty protection.
Chemical analysis is not rated high
by Mr, Fuller as a means of detect
ing polluted water, for he asserts
that a careful common sense in
spection of the district is usually
much more to the point.
Sources of pollution in the vicinity
of a well or spring should be noted

The inan who carries concealed
weapons has a weakness of character
that only can be strengthened by
decided action on the part of the
state. Some states have introduced
laws such, if enacted, will throw the

luted in lime for miles, so that wells
in regions where limestone makes up
the greater part of the surface rock
should be carefully examined after
rains for mud and floating matter,
for these are pretty sure indications
of pollution.
For prospecting wells, springs and
cisterns Mr. Fuller advocates, first
of all, a water tight fining to keep
out surface water. Wells and springs
should always be covered andprotect

THE RIVER NILE.
When Its Waters Turn Green Then
Comes the Welcome Flood.
The “green water’’ of the Nile is
quite a different thing from the
green water of the ocean, says the
Scientific American.
About April 1f> the Nile begins
its annual rise, and a month later
the effect is felt at Khartum. A
very curious phenomenon accompa
nies this increase in the appearance
of the “green water.”
For a long time it was' believed
that the color came from the
swamps of the upper Nile, lying iso
lated and stagnant under the trop
ical sun and polluting the waters
with decaying vegetable matter.
With the spring rise ibis fctirl
water was supposed to be swept
into the streams to make its appear
ance in Egypt.
Within recent times, however,
this theory has been abandoned.
Now we are advised the green
water is caused bv the presence of
innumerable numbers of microscop
ic algae, offensive to the taste and
smell. They originate away up in
the tributaries and are carried to
the Nile, where under the hot sun
and in the clear water they increase
with amazing rapidity, forming col
umns from 250 miles to 500 miles
in length.
The weeds continue to grow, die
and decay until the turbid flood
waters put them to an end, for they
cannot exist except in clear water.
Offensive as, in some respects, the
green water is. it i< hailed with de
light bv the Egyptians, sinee its ap
pearance is n sign pf the real flood

Not on Him.
Several years ago Patrolman
Granipke was detailed at u circus
that was performing in Camp Wash
ington. Ono of the features of the
show was the falling into the ring
of ono of the actors, in tattered
clothes, who pretended to he drunk.
He would then pick himself up and
finally would mount one of the most
spirited horses in the ring. One by
one he would then throw oil his
garments until ho stood forth re
splendent in pink tights.
The first night that Grampke was
on duty the stunt was to he pulled
off as usual, hut no sooner had the
apparently drunken one got into
the ring than Grampke was in after
him. He jerked the performer to
his feet and hustled him outside,
where he proceeded to administer a
good beating. The other employees
of the show rushed out and finally
separated Grampke from his victim
and explained that it was all a joke.
“A joke, is it?” said Grampke, as
he looked at the disheveled mnn.

How ■ Miser Selected an Heir.
As like affects like, so it is with
misers, and gold will go where gold
is. This is strikingly illustrated by
the act of a celebrated Greek, one
Dichoeus Dichocms, a descendant
of the Byzantine emperors. This
man, by the exercise of extreme
niggardliness managed to amass the
sum of $50,000, an immense for
tune in those days. Then came the
question to whom should he leave
it. One day a distant relative sent
him a letter written upon a square'
inch of paper. This was sufficient..
In the fitness of things the parsi
monious correspondent became the
miser’s heir.
Prevention Not Better Then Cure.
Colonel Scotchem was weary. He
had had a very arduous day retreat
ing from the enemy, and he wished
to recoup his strength in order that
he might retreat still farther on the
morrow.
“MacPherson,” he said to his new
servant, “I’m going to snatch forty
winks’ sleep. Stay by my tent and
see that I’m not disturbed.”
Mac saluted. Five minutes later
the snores of Colonel Scotchem
were cot abort by'the loud report of
• gun.
“Great Scott!” cried the colonel.
“Are the enemy upon ub ?” 1
“Na, dinna fret,” replied Mac, in
serting his head reassuringly
through the tent flap. “It was only
a wee mousie. But as I thought he
might wake you np, I shot him."

An Ancient Loaf of Bread.
a loaf of bread 4,500 years old
was found in the tomb of Mentuho-
tep, who died in Egypt 2500 B. C.
It is now in the Royal museum of
Berlin, being one of the most inter
esting discoveries of modern times.
This loaf or cake or bread is dark
brown in color. Inside are many
large holes. Probably this part of
the bread long since fell into dust,
but much of the bread still remains
in the shape of whole kernels and
pieces of grain. Examination proves
that it was made of barley and that
the grains were only rudely crushed
and not sifted. This proves that
barley bread was one of the earliest
kinds ever made.
