MALARIAL POISON.
A COSPElKR.lTE TIEW.
The 1 rami Army of the Jiepublic and the
Vonfdemte Flays
tin Existence Described as Long Ago as the
Decline of the Kommn Republic.
When we talk of the Roman climate
we can not dissociate the theme from
its distinctive characteristic the ma
larial poison. What is this poison?
Till the researches of Tommasi-Crudeli
and Krebs, published in 1879, the most
plausible answer was thai of Dr. Leon
Colin, who defined it as an "intoxica
tion tcllurique," an earth-poison gen
erated by the surplus vegetative ener
gy of an. abnormally fertile soil, whose
fecundity was very partially absorbed
by the scanty sprinkling of herbage
tL?.t overspread its surface. Cultivate
tba soil, render to tlm vegetative
energy its appropriate pabulum, and
you provide the antidote to malaria.
Ssncb, stated with extreme brevity, was
the theory of Leon Colin, embodied in
a work of great ability, which, appear
ing as it aid, at the outbreak of the
Franco-German war, encountered a
public too preoccupied to give it the
btudy it deserved. Tommasi-Crudeli
combats this theory. He denies that
the Roman Campagna possesses any
thing like the exuberant fecundity
with which it has been credited. Its
really fertile tracts are few and far
between, rarely compensating the
agriculturist for his labor as, indeed,
was well known to ancient husband
men. Then again, if the poison were
gaseons, as Leon Collin's theory im
plies, the malaria-surcharged atmos
phere ought to be at its maximum at
noonday, when the exhalation from the
soil is greatest; but on the contrary,
the localities in which malaria is most
pronounced reach their maximum of
rlanger in the morning and evening
those periods of the day when the dif
ference of temperature between earth
and atmosphere renders the ascending
serial currents most powerful and most
apt to transport the material of the
poison. That material, according to
rommasi-Curdeli, is a living ferment,
encountered equally on the mountain
and plain, in dry soibi and in humid.
Its existence was suspected and unsci
entifically described as long ago as the
decline of the Roman republic by the
agriculturist Varro, and its nature and
form are defined by Tommasi-Crudeli
as a MSchizomctes bacillaris." For its
development it requires a temperature
not lower than twenty degrees C. (a
moderate degree of humidity) and the
immediate contact of the atmosphere
with the soil it infects. As the absence
of a single one of these conditions pre
vents the development of the malaria,
so certain localities exhibit at times a
natural suspension of the poison. In
winter, for example, the fall of the
temperature below the required twenty
degrees causes a inennic suspension;
the loss of the necessary humidity un
der prolonged drought causes a hy
daulic suspension; and the interposi
tion of sheets of water or of a thick
matting of turf on the laying down of
a pavement, by preventing tnc imme
diate contact of the atmosphere with
the infected soil, produces an atmos
pheric suspension of the malaria.

POVERTY IN LONDON.
Tho Hopelessness Which Is the Curse of
Improvidence and Want.
Poverty in London is increasing,
both relatively and actually. Relative
poverty may be lightly considered, but
it breeds trouble as rapidly as actual
poverty. The family which has an in
come sufficient to support life on oat
meal will not grow in good will when
they know that daily meat and holi
days are spoken of as "necessaries'' for
other workers and children. Educa
tion and the spread of literature has
raised the standard of living, and they
. who can not provide boots for their
children, nor sufficient fresh air, nor
clean clothes, nor means of pleasure
feel themselves to be poor, and have
the hopelessness which is the curse of
poverty, as selfishness is the curse of
wealth". "
Poverty, however, in London, is in
creasing actually. It is increased (1)
by the number of incapable "broken
men, who, by their misfortunes or their
vices have fallen out of regular work,"
and who are drawn to London because
chance work is more plentiful, "com-
Iiany" more possible and life more en
ivened by excitement. (2) By the de
terioration of the physique of those
born in close rooms, brought np
in the narrow streets, and early
made familiar with vice. It was noticed
that among the crowds who applied-
for relief there were few who seemed
healthy or were strongly grown. In
Whitechapel, the foreman of those em
ployed in the streets reported that "the
majority had not the stamina to make
even a good scavenger." (3) By the
disrepute mto wlucn saving is fallen
Partly because happiness (as the ma-
. -i
joniy count iiappmess; seems to oe
beyond their reach, partly because the
teaching of the example of the well-to-
do is 4 enjoy yourselves," and partly
because "the saving man" seems "bad
company, unsocial and selfish; ' the
fact remains that few take the trouble
to save only units out of the thousands
of applicants had shown any signs of
thrift. (4) lsy the growing animosity
of the poor against the rich. Good
will, among men is a source of pros
perity as well as of peace. Those
bound together consider the good of
the "whole" before the good of a class.
Among large classes of the poor ani
mosity is slowly taking the place of
good-will, the rich are held to be of
another nation, the theft of a lady's
diamonds is not always condemned as
the theft of a poor man's money, and
the gift of 70,000 is looked on as
ransom, and perhaps an inadequate
ransom. The bitter remarks sometimes
heard by the almoners are signs of dis
union, which will decrease the re
sources of all classes. The fault did
, not begin with the poor; the rich sin,
but the poor, made poorer and more
angry, suffer the most. Nineteenth

"Do you think I'm a simpleton,
sir?" thundered a fiery Scotch laird to
his new footman. "Ye see, sir," replied
the canny ocot, "i n no iang here,
ana i ainna ken yet."
Tue following simple illustration
will enable you to understand the com
parative sizes of the suu and planets.
If a globe a little more than two feet
across stood for the sun, the proper
size of Mercury would be shown by a
grain of mustard seed; of V enus by a
pea; of the Earth by a rather larger
pea; of Mara by a large pin's bead; of
Jupiter by a good sized orange; o
Saturn by a similar orange; of Uranus
by a large cherry; and of Neptune by
a good sized plum
.
The controversy over the flajj order
is subsiding
Poktland, June 21, 1887.
Ed. Okegoniox: Now tha the 6nst
mad explosion over the president's ap
proval of Geu. Drum's recommendation
in regard to the Confederate flags may
Ixj said to have somewhat subsided,
cannot the matter fairly be viewed in
another light than that in which it is
held by the G. A. R.1 Does not the
very course and conduct ot thi3 organ
ization prescribe for the act a different
construction from that now heralded
to the public? Is not too much being
done for effect. -
I ask you to give space to "an ex
pression of opinion upon wliat I am for
ced to admit is here the unpopular side
of the question. At the outsst, I con
sider that this episode, coming as it did
was unfortunate. It has occasioned
needless agitation of a subject concern
ing which our couutiy is not yet at
peace, and, be it said with regret, is
not likely to be for years to come.
Whv should not the Southern flags
be returned? Two reasons
signed:
First They should not be sent south
"as emblems to bo revere 1 and teach
coming generations treason."
Second The Northern states have
the proprietary right of conquest over
them.
It will be conceded that the first is
the chief ground upon which tho ob
jection may he bused, and, so viewing
it, let us see in what position the G
A. II. is to urge it. Posts of this or
gamzation have from tune to tune
made restitution to Southern survi
vors of the war of such flags as might
le under their cotrol. Did they do
this to teach treason; or, if such were
or were likely to be, the effect, were
they loyal to their country or true to
the vows of their association in doing
it?. The greater question is the trans
mission of the fireband and not the
agency through which it may be trans
niitted. Suppose the flags under con
sideration had been delivered to the
G. A. II., would not it have been
ample precedent for restoring them to
the South, and if it did would not
there ba danger of their hatching trea
son? Upon that score this organiza
tion must stand with self-spiked guns.
and the spectacle of the patriot Fair-
child heaping imprecations upon the
head of the chief magistrate of his
country (bo he who he may) is one that
does him little credit as a soldier or a
citizen. He is but little more than
'patent-rights reserved" argument.
is assuming to much to say that these
flag?,. if returned, were to be exhibited
in the capitals ot the several Southern
states tbesft states had never been
consulted in regard to the question
and even knew nothing of the pro
posed restitution.
Is not the G. A. P. in this matter,
placed in an embarrassingly inconsis
tent position? Is net this the sincerity,
or insincerity, of Senator Sherman,
who, one day at Nashville, holds out
the olive branch to the South, and the
next, at Springfield, relights the camp-
fires of '61?
Again, would not Abraham Lincoln,
if he were now president approve such
a move? I believe he would, and if
he did I fuither believe the G. A. R.
would never raise a voiee in protest,
So, were Grant to do it, would it re
spond "Amen." It is because Cleve
land assayed the act that the cboli
tions of its wrath has become so vio
lent.
If it be right that the Southern
states were readmitted, so to speak, to
the Union and allowed to take part in
the administration of its affairs, as
most rational men now agree is it not
best that these flags be removed from
the national capital? If it is right to
have Southern men there it is unwise
to have the flags there and conversely.
Apart from the tendency it must
necessarily have to keep the states
apart rather than to bring them togeth
er and minor considerations which nat
urally flow therefrom; how are foreign.
ers to understand an incident which
says this senator holds these flag3 over
that one, and this representee over the
other? Have these men, who the G
A. R. says should be continually held
under stigma, shown any evidences of
latent treason1? In what respect have
they failed in their allegiauce to a com
mon country? More to the paint, have
not they, Gordon, Hampton, Butler,
Morgan, Ransom, men "wounded by
bayonet, shell and ball," with constitu
ents no more fortunate and states pov
erty-stricken by the ravages of a dc
vastating war voted to tax them
selves and constituents iu support of
every proper measure that lias been
presented in congress to jension the
troops that brought them to such con
dition, now represented by the G. A. R.
and has that organization ever entered
protest against such votes, or have its
members in any instance failed to avail
themselves of such bounty ?
But if these Southern men have no
right at the capital, can the G A. II.
complain thereat 1 The states iu which
it has its strongholds invited them to
come, and its late chieftain set the ex
ample by appointing many of them to
positions of high trust a.nd confidence.
Longstreet, Mosby, Ackerman, Orr,
because they were apostates, were none
the less Confederates "rebels" if you
please.
Upon the second ground of objection
that I have above indicated, the presi
dent was manifestly wrong. No dis
position should lie made of the Hugs
without the consent of congress. This
however is putting toe question upen
a pure property bat-is, and there is no
mor o sentiment or significance to be
attached to his act than if he should
have attempted so to dispose of a lot of
captured cavalry horses ofnule teams.
In conclusion, I will say, while ngain
expressing my regret that the matter
should have arisen, I admire the exhi
bition of moral courage which Grover
Cleveland has given. I believe him
to have been actuate ! b? a true Amer
ican spirit, and would bind together in
greater harmony a re-united country;
aud, since the question has been raised
I shall be disappointed in him if he
does not show his earnestness of pur
pose, by making such a lexnum mla
uon to congress in his u xt message.
Upon this platform, you well said in
youi issue of the 18th inb., the South
will bo solid for hi in he will have
every vote from the Potomac to the
Rio Grande, and those wh east, them
will only regret there are inl more to
give.
On principle I believe tho Hags
should be returned, and this is what
I would do with them. In Richmond
the capital of the Confederate states
within the shadow of the state house
whero its congress held its sessions,
stands a statue of Robert E. Loe.
Beneath the figure of him w hom the
world acknowledges to have: been a
great and good man, of him v ho held
these colors aloft while they flaunted
defiance to the foe and who furled them-
with his own h?nd on Appomattox
field, of lii ;n who most fitly could stand
guard over them and all they -repre
sented, I would liiv them to an eternal
rest. LB, COX.
