Concrete Eelt Armor.
The use of re-enforced concrete
armer on warships bas recently been
suggested. An italian engineer, Lor
enzo d'Adda. has been led by the suc
cess of concrete laud fortifications,
as revealed in the Russian-Japanese
war, to construct armor plates of re
en forced concrete, covered with thin
plates of steel, as a protection against
the immediate effects of the Impact of
shelis. Concrete armor plates, even
when re-enforced -by stout and close
ly inlaid iron burs, must obviously
be much thicker than hardened steel
armor, but as the specific gravity
ot the material ls only one-third that
cf steel the weight of the armor need
cot be increased, while Its cost may
be very greatly diminished. The sub
stitution of re-enforced concrete for
steel armor cn a first class battleship
would effect a considerable saving.
The practicability of the substitution
will be decided by the result of ex
periments, soon to be made, on the
effect of shots on the re-enforced
concrete plates.-Scientific American.

Millions of Germs ii
Dr. Wiley Experiments on Chinaware Tafc
Hotels-Cause ol Appendicitis-Che
Many Inflammatory Diseases-Ul
Washington, D. C.-To those who
leave their offices each noon to snatch
a hasty lunch, the Government has a
word of advice to offer. It ls this:
Whenever a restaurateur offers you a
cracked mug and a chipped, seamy
plate on which food is served, flee It
as you would the pestilence. In the
recesses of those cracks lurk thou
sands of bacteria, and they draw no
distinction between the millionaire
employer and his $10 a week steno-1
grapher.
The Bureau of Chemistry, ii the
head of which is Dr. Harvey W. Wi
ley, has just concluded experiments
on cracked china utensils taken from
.the.lunch rooms of Washington. The
conditions they find to exist in the
. restaurants heredare duplicated in
every big city. In Kew York and Chi
cago, wnere trade at "quick lunch"
establishments is much greater, a far
larger population of germs is be
lieved to have taken up its abode in
the cracks and crevices of the table
service.
The examination of the chinaware
by the Government came about as a
result of a crusade being waged
against unhealthful kitchens and
serving rooms In the District o? Col
umbia. With the approval of Secre
tary Wilson and Dr. Wiley the Gov
ernment chemists were turned loose
on the trail. They discovered mill
ions of germs in the cracks.
Dr. George W. Stiles, bacteriologi
cal chemist of the department, had
charge of the tests. Several dozen
cracked mugs, plates and saucers tak
en at random from the counters of
lunch rooms and from the cafes of
hotels were examined. The result
was that Dr. Stiles discovered twenty
three distinct species of organisms
lurking in the cracks and seams. In
the final test it was found that these
organisms ranged in number from
486 to *4,580,OOO to i Milllflltl

noticeable, and the kitchens of the

are cracked leaves the bacilli to in

to snatch a substantial meal of cocoa
and chocolate eclairs as it is to the
man with the drooping mustache who
regales himself each nooh on "coffee
and sinkers." The bacilli are no re
specto:* of persons. Dr. Stiles, in
discussing the result of his tests,
says :
"Tbis is a question which must
necessarily appeal to every responsi
ble individual who seriously considers
the matter of eating clean and whole
some food. When we consider the
great number and variety of organ
isms studied in relation to these
cracked mugs the question of house
hold sanitation becomes more im
perative than ever, and a study of
the sanitary conditions in private and
public life would in many instances
furnish startling results.
"Many of our hotels, public res
taurants and cafes are particular to
see that splendid serving rooms are
provided and elaborately furnished,
which from exterior appearances
seam to be all that could be desired
for the welfare and comfort of their
guests, but let one go behind the
scenes in many places and note the
changed conditions. The picture may
be entirely different from that ex
pected.
"The sanitary aspect of refrigera
tors and icebones during hot weather
may develop conditions 'beyond hu
man toleration. Why people do not
take better care of these places of
storage is difficult to say. However,
it is a regrettable fact that many such
places often contain highly objection
able material, and if not intended for
immediate use it often contaminates
and ruins the entire contents of the
icebox.
"In concluding' it seems highly de
sirable to eliminate the use of cracked
dishes for the reception of food mate
rials^ ,and to make an appeal for a
itftere careful observance of the
vn hygienic measures to protect
food from unnecessary and un
able contamination."
Dr. Pasquale Grillo takes sharp is
b with Dr. Wiley. "Of course there
i germs in cracked china," he said,
_js there are in everything else in the
'universe. And it may be that some
of these are bad instead of good. The
proportion of bad germs to good ones
is as 6 to 1,000,000,000. The bad
germ may kill you; the good ones
may be eaten by the spoonful without
harmful results. A healthy person
will eat many billions a day, or at a
single meal, without getting so much
as a suggestion of the stomach
ache."

Just Sneeze Hight Out.
"Never suppress a sneeze," said
the trained nurse to the young
woman who had just performed that
polite act. "It is a great strain on all
the nerves an.1. the blood vessels of
the head, as it ti:rows all the actior
to the back of the head instead of
letting lt come out of the mouth safe
ly and naturally. The unusual and
hard strain on a little blood vesse'
that may b ; weak is likely to bur3t it
and cause instant death. A loud
sneeze does not sound very nice, bu*,
it is a safe thing to do every time."
Life of (bc Woods.
It is imagined that the bird? ana
beasts of prey are to be envied, but
the small shy creatures really get
just as much, if not more, joy in life,
lt may be that one mouse in a litter
goes one night to feed an owl. That's j
bad for the mouse, but he was prob
ably disobedient and refused to squat
at the warning from his mother.
This is a kingdom where the laws of
life are learned and ob?yed. The
punishment for disobedience is death.

The
General Demand
of thc Well-informed of thc World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent, parts are known to them to be
wholesome aud truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, thc California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on thc merits of thc laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by thc Well-informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, end for sale
