In pneumonia these germs have the lungs for their principal camp- ing ground, though other organs and parts of the body are affected, sométimds even more seriously. Here, as in all infections, two kinds of causes have to be taken inte account: First, the specific cause, the germ; and then the pre- disposing causes, which weaken the body and 'so make it congenial soil fur the germ to thrive in.

A messenger boy was suspected. He admitted his guilt, but said that he had given the necklace to his mo- ther. The latter, when question- ed, expressed astonishment 'that s9 much 'rouble should be taken for a "trashy little trinket," and said she had given it to her daugh- ter-in-law. The younger woman al- so seemed surprised that the "string of glass beads'? should in- terest the police. She had given them to her little daughter, who, finding the necklace too large, had 'taken about half the beads off. These were found in @ box con taining an assortment of buttons, hooks and eyes, etc. The owner of tthe necklace was so pleased with its recovery. that she would not prosecute the family, but the boy thas been dikcharged. -- aE SETS Nobody ever has a word of sym- |pathy for a dog catcher.

BE 2 | Taking cold is rarely oftentimes | taking heat; there is here at bot- 'itom a disturbance of the bodily equilibrium. Chilling of the skin brings about a disturbance of the circulation; some organs--as the lungs--will have an excess of blood, while elsewhere there will be an anemia, a depletion. And this in- stability disturbs and decreases the 'bodys antibacterial activities. Fatigue very decidedly predis-. poses the body to pneumonia; men who must' work arduously through jong hours and .in inclement wea- ther are apt to come down. with it. Medical men of large practice, who become exhausted through much by reason of this. Unhealthy conditions of the up- per air passages--"respiratory ca- tarrhs"--tend to pneumonia. There are chronic diseases of the heart, kidneys and the digestive tract up- on which pneumonia is oftentimes superimposed, and then 'there is likely tio be a fatal result. Most people, by way, do not die of the disease which has most persistent- ly and most seriously affected them; it is some such 'terminal af- fection'? as pneumonia that brings about the end. INJURIES TO THE CHEST will frequently predispose to pneumonia; the external wound may be very slight, while the in- ternal injury may be extensive. Al- coholism is an eniormously predis- posing factor; this is especially so by reason of the dreadful stuff which poor men are apt to consume. Pneumonia is more frequent in cities than in the country because of the more strenuous life and ir- regular life in the cities, the germ laden dust, the tenement life, the overcrowding and consequent in- creased liability to the infection. It is considered that newcomers to cities are less prone to pneumonia than the city born, no doubt be- cause such newcomers have not yet become enervated by city life. The measures against infection should be very much as in tubercu- losis--such measures as 'the anti- tuberculosis propaga da has popu- lazized. The sputum is disinfected ; attendants upon pneumonia cases keep their own mouths and throats very clean by means of dentifrices an gargles; they wash their hands vely frequently in disinfectants. After the patient's recovery or re- moval his room is fumigated, as for An important consideration just {;many infections, such as pneu- hele in the lower part to bring the monia, a number of different mi-| on|crebes may be found active in ad- with wire hairpins, and it works|dition to the one which is the es- ake a charm, without the outlay of sential cause.

Nurses and doc- ters seldom succumb to pneumonia, linfectious as it is; one among sev- jeral good reasons for this is that i'they know precisely what means of | prevention they must employ; they do not (or should not) see cases |when they might become suscep- wor ill health, and THEY HAVE NO FEAR, which i's a potent factor in the de- velopment of any ' fection. As has been stated, after the pheumococeus we have to consider predispositions, which in the phy- sician's experience loom up very large indeed. Take, for example, a family of five or six. One or two among thém will succumb to pneu- monia, while the 'thers will es- cape. Why don't they all uffer, since in the family relation they must all have been about equally subject 'to the germinal attack? The reason lies in that the bodies of those who have contracted the disease were predisposed, while in the bodies of those who have es- caped the organs and tissues were sufficiently vital to triumph over the infection, -- Resistence to the pneumococcus is decreased under various condi- tions. Children under 6 are very prone to pneumonia; the tendency then diminishes up to the fifteenth 'year; then for each subsequent de- cade it progressively increases. Venerable people are very prone to pneumonia and are very. likely to die of it; from the forty-fifth year ko the sixty-fifth year the death rate per 100,000 is 263; from 65 on it is 788 per 100,000. The colored man is more likely than the white to suffer. Men are more prone than wonien, undoubt- edly by reason of the greater hard- skips and exposure the family's breadwinner has to suffer. «|.

Certainly people who are suscep- tible because of predisposing fac- pcse themselves to infection. -- Ex- pectations in public places should be prohibited. Immunization against pneumonia, such as is now so effective against diphtheria, is likely to become a successful pro- cedure. In a number of cases it already has proved effective.

The conviction of 'these persons is considered by the authorities & great victory for the secret police. The actual evidenec is twofold: It shows that some of the prisoners were in: the habit of meeting to disewss political affairs; also, cer- tain letters were found upon them showing that they were in commu- nication with the leaders of the Social Revolution. These letters, however, were HARDLY INCRIMINATING. Brt with this basis the Russian sec- ret police has in 'two years built up a structure of circumstantial evidence consisting of implications and conclu'ions upen which the logic of the counsel for the defence had no effect. It seems that two years ago Yer- makoff, wishing 'to be revenged on aman named Kvartalnoff, informed the police that the latter was a Revyolutionist. Both Yermakoff and Kvartalnoff 'were arrested, and, under what they declared at the trial to be torture, confessed to entertaining a political organiz- ation of twenty-seven persons at their house. These twenty-seven persons were shadowed by the police, their domiciles ransacked, and cercain of them were arrested. Among the prisoners were three girls, one of them being an Armen- ian, Miss Mauradoff, whose father js a Councillor of State. In her possession were discovered affec- tionate letters from the lately de- nounced agent, Mime. Shoutchen- sky-Courngross, hoping to see her at the Central Social Revolution Committee. Fashionable 'society was horrified to hear that the son of Admiral Jakovleff, who is con- sidered likely to become Minister of Marine, was also arrested. In this way the police soon collected and threw into prison seventeen "'suspects."? To complete the num- ber it was necessary to have ten more. Hence they hit om the very simple plan of arresting fiftees yHersons among A HOLIDAY CROWD on the Sparrow Hills, on the ridi- culous charge that they had as- sembled to hold a meeting of the 'East Moscow workmen. these had to be released, one be- cause he was a West Moscow twork- man. Eight were liberated on bail after being kept four months in prison. The relationship of the twenty-seven was linked up by the police, and they were all thrown pell-mell into one imposing trial. In spite of the fact that the Brit- ish Consul at Moscow made a for- mal plea in favor of his fellow- countryman and Watson's counsel tore the evidence against hiim into tatters, the court would not admit that the young Englishman was in- neecent. His sentence of sixteen months, however, will only amount to four, as he has already spent a year in prison. His whole con- nection with the charge consists in the fact that he knew, socially, cer- tain prisoners and that his arrest was made on account of his re- semblance to a man named Stan- islay, who was known to be a mem- ber of the gathering entertained by Yermakoff and Kvar'talnoff. Watson is a tall, athletic youth of twenty, with a handsome and typically English face. His father, who is now dead, settled in Rus- sia and married a Russian lady.
