GOOD MICROBE
Scientist Declares New Ba
cillus Is Enemy of Every
Other Germ.
(Hearet Newe by Lonseat Leased Wire.)
New York, March 21 Professor Ellc
Metchnlkoff, In a new book, "The Pro
longation of Life," announces the dis
covery of a new bacillus, which he has
named the bulgaris or benevolent mi
crobe, and which he claims to be the
natural enemy of every other germ that
finds lodgment in the human body. The
new bacillus is developed in sour milk,
which is the professor's great panacea.
Aa to the details of this new method
for the prolongation of life. Professor
Metchnlkoff is a living Illustration of
his own theory. He has drank sour milk
all his life, and approaching the age
of 70 he Is as vigorous and as well
preserved aa a man of 45. But what is
much more important la the news of
cases of longevity which he presents In
support of his theory. Proof of the
properties of sour milk Is In the drink
ing of It. Read this from Metchnlkoff:
"From time immemorial human beings
have absorbed quantities of lactic mi
crobes by consuming in the uncooked
condition substanoea such as sour milk,
kephlr, sauerkraut, or salted cucum
bers, which have undergone lactic fer
mentation. By these means they have
unknowingly lessened the evil conae
ouences of- intestinal putrefaction. In
the Bible soured milk la frequently
spoken of." . .,, ,
He tells of the use of sour milk In
ancient Egypt, In the Balkans, In Rus
sia, In Africa.
TTho fact that ao many races make
soured milk," he continued, "and use
It copiously, is an excellent testimonial
to Its usefulness." '

Homjillanded Man-o'-War's

(By Henry RauterdahL) 1
' (Ileant News by Laageet UsMd Wire.)
New York, Maroh 11. Touth la tha
mainspring of tha day. ' Toutb ' baa
killed tha old navy. and. made a new
one. Tha day of tha proud steam frig
at and tha horny-handed man-o'-wars-tnan
Ik gone and exists no mora axoept
In com la opera. ' .
This great crula of encircling a oon
ttnent with 16 battleships on railroad
time was tha work of young man, but
while the official honors, tha glorlea
and the laurel wreaths belong to Uios
who are high up. the actual work waa
dona by the young "una," for the aver
axe age. of tha watch officers of the
fleet today is below 26. While the
captains were In actual command, and,
of course, stood for the primary re
sponslblllty, it waa the youngsters, full
of sest and ambition, who stood on tha
bridge for tha 16,000-ton ahlp and kept
her within a yard or two of her proper
station In tha column.
And If you knew anything about
ships, and their speed, you can easily
understand what It means to overcome
tha Inertia of a big fighting machine
and Joggle her engines ao that aha Is
constantly In the same position 250
yarda behind her leader and the same
distance ahead of J he fellow behind.
It is all under tne eye of the admiral
who, alck or well, kept the fleet under
hla thumb, and should a ship be out of
position, the signal, "Badly done." would
be hoisted quicker than a flash from the
flagship and the fellow of 24 had to ex
plain and explain very well, to aacape
tha official Ire.
Tha fleet order No. 62, which means
court-martial If disobeyed, and which
calls for additional precaution while
maneuvering, hangs over the head of
tha ensign who may never have served
on a "white ahlp since his practice
cruise, but he has Imbibed the devil-may-care
and the dash In the torpedo
flotilla and In two daya he la onto the
ropes of the big ships and wishes to
himself that tho skipper would always
stay In the emergency cabin. If you
join him at midnight la will hand you
a cigarette In the lee of the bridge
screen and he will tell you that tha
service la .going to tha doga and that
life Isn't worth living on a battleship,
where you've got to dress for dinner
and wear good ciothea; but ha will glv
you a aong of praise of torpedo ami
submarines and you leave him firmly
convinced that a battleship Is so muon
scrap Iron and that the submarine Is
the thing.

Favor of New Plan of
(v-gregation.
Philadelphia, March 20. Study of the
prevention and cure of tuberculosis In
the Kastern penitentiary, and the results
attained by modern scientific handling
of the diseasehas resulted In the sug
gestion, which will go before the legis
lature In connection with tho annual re
ports of the Institution, that a separate
prison be established for the criminals
afflicted with tho disease.
The suggestion Is contained In the re
port of Dr. W. H. Haasell, physician of
the Institution, to the board of Inspec
tors Dr. Hassell states that, although
afforded the benefit of open-air cells,
the yard for exercise and increased diet
on modern plans, tuberculous cases
still contribute a large proportion of
the death rnte. , .
In connection with the report of Dr.
Hassell, a chart Is given, which shows
strikingly the results achieved in re
cent years.
As the result of segregation of pa

tubercular death rate of the Institution
has taken a drop tn two years, ending
at the close of 1906 from 1.76 per cent
to 60 per cent.
