THE BACILLI OF SMALLPOX.

The baoteriolopihU at the congress
ot American physicians ami burgeons
exuhuupvd some surprudnp exper iencea,
caya a Washington letter to St. I.ouis
fJuihe-lVnuicrat. l)r. Harold C. Krnst,
of Huston, however, contributed the
moat woudqrful of all the stories of
(Terms ami cultures, lh. Krnst tolil
how the late Dr. S. C. Martin entered
his laboratory to make a study of the
jrerms of smallpox. lr. Martin's
father was the mnu who introduced
the manufacture of eowpox into thia
country, lie maintained this industry
lor many years uutl then turned it over
to his son. The latter continued the
production of virus for vaccination
purposes, but desiring? to learn more
about the disease for which he was
manufacturing the preventive, became
to Dr. Ernsts laboratory and entered
up Hi a scries of cxiierimenU. This
work he continued until his fatal ill-
Bess. On his death ded. just previous
to a surgical operation, he committed
to Pr. Ernst an account of his discov
eries. This story Dr. Ernst told to the
bacteriologists. Accustomed - as they
were to having their credulity taxed
by the revelations in their peculiar
field of research, these gentlemen could
hardly believe in the results of Dr.
Martin's work.
Dr. Martin began his Investigation
by collecting from smallpox patients a
large number and variety of baetcria.
lie bred from these bacteria. Or, in
the language of bacteriology, he got
cultures. With these cultures he in
oculated the calves and the calves pro
duced cowpox. From this eowpox -he
took virus and vaccinated children.
The matter "took" with all the vigor
of the best virus. The operation was
repeated until Dr. Martin was sure he
had found the bacteria which causes
smallpox. lie described it to Dr. Ernst
as "a short, fine bacillus with rounded
ends."
Obtaining the bacteria from people
with smallpox, Dr. Martin reproduced
them through no fewer than fourteen
generations of cultures. He dipped
points in the tube containing the four
teenth culture and gave them to Dr.
Williams. The latter vaccinated with
these points and got perfect vaccina
tion results in one or two cases. ' Dr.
Martin himself did not carry his exper
iments far enough to establish this
from his own observation. He tried
ten cases of vaccination direct from
culture tubes but none of them "took." I
linthe innoculatcd many calves direct 1
from his culture tubes and
produced j
cowpox. In fact, Dr. Ernst said much of i
the virus sent from the Martin establish-
ment for two years was produced upon j
the calves by inoculations from the cul
ture tubes.
Before he died Dr. Martin was sure
he had found the bacillus of smallpox.
He felt that it only remained to be
shown how the germ could be pro
duced by culture so as to vaccinate
without the intermediate production
of cowpox. He had propagated the
germ through generation after gener
ation, but some tiling more was neces
sary, he felt, to make it available for
practical vaccination without going
through the calf.

When persons are weak anil languid,
from sickness or overwork, feel debil
itated and depressed, it is an indication
that the blood is out of order, ami they
need help to throw off the miserable
feeling. The best remedy for this pur
pose is Dr. J. H. McLean's Strength
ening Cordial and Blood Purifier. It re
stores lost strength, gives . vigor to cir
culation, promotes good appetite and a
flow of cheerful spirits. Price $1.00 per

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He has

LEGEND OF THE PIASA.
Monster Which Made War on
the Trlbo of the XllinL
Half lllrd, Hitir Ilraat. with the Head of
an Ox and the llrak of an Kaxle Could
Carry a HufTalo In Earn of lta roar
TalotM Where It Waa killed.
Overlooking the Piasa river, which
pours its waters into the Mississippi
just above Alton, stands the Piusa
rock. About this there clings the rem
nant of an Indian legend which tells
of a brave chief, Wapatogo, and how
he saved his people from a monster.
'There are people now alive who re
member when the rock bore the rude
picture of a huge bird which was slain
by Wapatogo painted there by his peo
ple to mark his act of heroism. The
story was handed down in unwritten
tribal history and the early settlers
heard It from the chiefs of the tribe of
which Wapatogo was the foremost
chief.
At an early period in the history of
this country, says the Chicago Tribune,
a tribe of Indians inhabited the terri
tory now embraced in the state of Illi
nois. They were the Illinis, from which
the state derived its name. For many
years this tribe increased in power,
prosperity and numbers until their
tepees could be seen on its green
prairies and their canoes upon its
beautiful water courses from oue end
of the state to the other. After a time
a change came over this happy nation.
Their hunting grounds were deserted
and their ranks deeimated. Where
their people were the most numerous
and where their great chief had his
home there appeared a bird of enor
mous size more of a beast than fowl
which took no its abode on a rock over
looking the Mississippi. Its huge body
was covered with scales of every hue.
With one blow of its mighty tail It
could make the earth tremble. It had
a head like an ox, with the beak of an
eagle. Immense horns hung over eyes
that shone with the fierceness of light
ning, and its four feet were armed with
powerful talons, in each of which it
could carry a buffulo. When it flapped
its wings there was a noise like thun
der, and when it dived into the river
great waves rolled upon the shore.
To this animal the Illinis gave the
name of "I'iasa Jiirdof the Evil Spirit."
This bird feasted daily upon the Illiui
people whom it bore off in its claws.
The influence of the medicine men
stayed not its power. Day by day they
saw with terror their nuratier diminish-
ing to gratify the insatiable appetite of
the Piusa. ulage after village was
destroyed and consternation spread
throughout all their tribe. There
seemed nothing in the future for them
but entire annihilation.
"At last Wapatogo, the brave young
chief of the nation, beloved and es
teemed as their greatest warrior,
whose fame extended beyond the rising
and the setting sun. called a council of
the priests in a secret cave, where,
after many days of prayer and fasting.
thev slept. Presently the Great Spirit
appeared to Wapatogo and told him
the only way to rid his people of their
great destroyer was to offer himself as
a sacrifice. The young chief started up,
aronseu: the sleeninir nriests. informed
them of hi vision from the Great Spir-
it and of his resolve to make the re
quired sacrifice.
Wapatogo dressed himself as becom
ing a great chief put on his war
paint, and with his tomahawk, bow and
arrows, took hi j r;:A tion on this promi
nent point of rock to await the coming
of the bird of death, the slayer of his
people. As had been directed in his
vision, many of his brave warriors
were concealed in the interstices of the
rocks, each to await with arrow
drawn the time when their beloved
chief should be attacked, to wreak
their last vengeance on their dreaded
enemy. Erect and powerful stood the
undaunted Wapatogo, calm and placid.
chanting his death song. Suddenly I
uicic cbujc m ruur an ui uiuuuit, anil in
one instant the Piasa, with a wild
scream that shook the rocks, darted
down upon the chief. The brave
Wapatogo quailed not, but when with
in reach he buried his tomahawk deep
into the monster s head, every arrow
went with lightning speed into its
body, and the I'iasa, with a shriek that
resounded far over the opposite shore,
fell dead.
Wapatogo stood unbanned not an
arrow nor even the . talons of the bird
had touched him. The Great Spirit, in
admiration of the noble sacrifice the
generous and brave Wapatogo would
have made for his people, held over
him an invisible shield. The tribe
gave way to the wildest joy, held a
great feast in honor of the event, and
to commemorate it painted the figure
of the bird of the I'iasa on the rock, by
the side of which their noble chieftain
had stood in his heroic defense. There
the picture remained for ages until
within the memory of dwellers of Al
ton o mark for the arrow or bullet of
the red man as he ascended or de
scended the great "Father of Waters."
Lowered th. Piano.
The following amusing anecdote is
told of the eantatrice Catalan). She
waa one day rehearsing at the Paris
opera house an air which she had to
sing in the evening, when she found
the pitch of the pianoforte too high,
and gave instructions to have the in
strument lowered by the evening. Her
husband, Capt. Valabreque, volun
teered to see her order carried out, ami
immediately sent for the stage carpen
ter and had the legs of the pianoforte
amputated. The performance took
place, and the lady was greatly annoyed
at the continued high pitch at which
she had to sing. She soon sought her
husband and remonstrated with him
for neglecting her wishes. He, not a
little hurt at being thus wrongfully
accused, insisted upon calling the per
son who had performed the operation,
and, tr Cataluni's utter astonishment,
called the carpenter, and said to him:
"How much did yon lower the piano,
Charles?-' "Two inches, sir." was the
prompt reply.
