HOW COPPER KILLS
BACILLI.
Man would seem to have at last discover ed an effective weapon against typhoid fever, Asiatic cholera, and similar merciless ecourges which invade our intestinal and digestive organs through polluted water. It is yet too soon to declare positively that we shall exterminato these drond diseases, but we hare good reason to believe that we shall be able to drive them out of cities and towns, and camps and prisons, and wherevor men are living herded together. The weapon is not of steel or iron, but cop per, the most convenient form being the common compound of copper and sulphur known as blue vitriol-copper sulphate,
Every school laboratory contains some beautiful: blue-crystals of copper sulphate. Schoolboys for generations have dabbled with these blue crystals or have watched their teachers use them for ordinary class- room experiments.
And yet who would have imagined that a pinch of these crystals dissolved in the water tank in the attic, or in the cistern or well, would kill any typhoid gernis that might be lurking there; that its use would crowd- ensure healthful drinking water in a ed military camp, that it would. extermin- ate malaria and yellow-fever-carrying mos- s and swamps by quitoes in stagnant pools s destroying the vegetable organisms on the mosquito larvae feed; that it won'd, in a few hours, make the water of an evil smelling and foul-looking city reservoir, containing billions of gallons of wator, pure and sweet?
It has been known for a long time that copper destroys bacteria, but the metal has not been much used heretofore for the purpose, because scientists have generally believed that the dose required to kill the bacteria must be very concentrated as concentrated that it would poison the water or substance containing the bacteria, and make the cure worse than the evil.

The new short weapon, with its clip loader, should give excellent results at close quartors and this is a great point to have gained, for the Russo-Japaneso compaign has shown that hand-to-hand conflicts must frequently ocour in modern warfare.

The mount- ed branch will welcome it without reservation, for the long rifle is an ou cumbrance to the Cavalry soldier. The controversy will probably continue for some months to come, and meanwhile the troops to whom it has been served out will be going through their muskotry training. As an ounes of practice is worth many pounds of theory, the merits of the rifle will be best tosted by the returns from regiments.

The Peninsular and Oriental mail steamer Himalaya," who arrived at Plymouth on Feb. 17, had two boats, carried away during a fierce gale in the Gulf of Lyons on the previous Sunday.. The vessel landed specie of the value of £1,181,008, which is stated to be the lar gest amount ever carried by one steamer.
