CROSS DiVORCE SUtT Lady and the German Lady and the" German Pig. DECEtVES HER HUSBAND WHO OBTAINS RELIEF. The further hearing of the Crosa divorce suit. Jones v. Jones, and Jones v. Joues and Buggenbeau. was resumed in the Divorce- court yesterday before Sir Francis Jeune and a. special jury. The husband, who was engaged in the City in a drapery nrm, in his petition prayed for the dissolution of his marriage on the ground of the alleged mis- conduct of his wife with the co-respondent, who waa engaged at a. touring office in the City. The recpondent and co-respondent denied the allegations in the petition. The wife in her petition aasked for judicial separ:i- ticn on the ground of the cruelty of her husband. which he denied. I Mrs. Jonea, in continuing her exa.mination- in-chief by Mr. Witt. said Mr. Buggenbeau nrat came to board and lodge in their house at Dulwich at the end of May last year. He was 22 years of age. At first, for a. time, Mr. Jones was friendly with Mr. Buggenbean. but some time afterwards they ceased to be so. Her husband had called Mr. Buggenbeau a, German pig. She had never been guilty of the slightest impropriety with the co-respondent or any other person. Last Bank Holiday in August the co-respondent left at nine in the morning, and did not return until ten at night. She never saw him all day. It was untrue that he was with her all that day. She had certainly met the co-respondent on several occasions and had walked with him about Dulwich. but there were always plenty of people about the places they visited. There never was anything more than friendship between her and Ruggenbeau. She certainly never regarded him as a lover. In cross-examina-tion by Mr. Deajie. Mrs. Jones said she had had two forma,! letters from Buggenbeau. She did not refuse to show them to her husband. She had burnt them, and therefore she could not do so. At times she would assist Euggenbeau in his en- deavours to acquire the English language. She left off walking with Buggenbeau because her husband objected to it. She knew she was being wa.tched by Slater's people because on one occasion one of them spoke to her. She had never aat alone for ajiy length of time with him in the dining-room. Ethel Belcher, who had been in the service of Mr. and Mrs. Jones at Dulwich from April. 1902, to June, said she never saw impropriety of any kind on the part of her mistress. Mr. Jones acted very cruelly towards his wife, and she had also heard him threaten her. Other witnesses gave evidence as to the cruelty alleged, among them being Mrs. Jones's father, Mr. Mills, who spoke of seeing bruises on her arms. Mr. Cowlinshaw, a clerk in Messrs Cook and Son's tourists' omce. Fleet-street, sa-id Buggenbeau was at one time an ordinary clerk in the omee. He left on March 14 of this year. He believed he was now in Gettnany. He (witness) had never seen him since he left. In the result, the jury found that Mrs. Jones had been guilty of misconduct, and that Mr. Jones had not been guilty of cruelty. Sir F. Jeune granted Mr. Jones, the husband, a decree nisi with costs.

SIMPLE-MINDED PERSON." I Lord Downshire and His Bi!ts of Exchange. I At Afarlborou,-h-,ereet London. yesterday the hearing was resumed of a summons against Arthur Edward Saunders Sebright. of Wargrave Court. Berks., charging him with fraudulently inducing the Marquess of Down- to aœept two bills of exchange for JE5.750, each payable three months a-fter date. —Lord Downshire, further cross-examined by Mr. Xewton, who represented defendant, said he did not remember signing two bills for zL3,C,W each before he signed the Sebright bills. He did not remember before charging a person with fraud and having to withdraw the charge unless it was in connection with a. cigarette company. When he signed the bills in this case he thought they were formal documents, and that be was going to get L!,OW for nothing. He did act know what the word solvent" meant. Mr. Newton said he would show defendant was by no means the aimple-mMided person he wished people to think he was. He desired an adjournment. so that he might address the magistrate and caU witnesses for the defence.—Mr. Denmaji accordingly adjourned the ca.ee for a. week.

A CORSiCAN VENDETTA I A t?Ipgra.m from Ajaccio to the Pa,ris) "Temps" relatea the details of a rema.rka.ble ca-,c- of vendetta. A bandit, named Poll, escaped from Cayenne and returned to Corsica, where he. some time since, killed a man. named Lecca. The letter's three sons, who i were working in France, at once went back < to Corsica, to avenge their father's murder.; Yesterday M. Gentili, the mayor of Calea- to?io, wa? ont driving with Poii's brother, Pascal Poli. They had hardly started when one of the brothers Lecca, who was hidden by the roadside, nred at them. M. Gentili was killed on the spot. and Pascal Poli was injured so serioosiy that be died later in the day. Lecca, allowed himself to be a-rrested. At almost the same hour. in another part of the island, Paul Polio the Mare of all the trouble, was nred at, presumably by another member of the Lecca, family. The shot, however, went

I DEATH OF MR. WHtSTLER Mr. Whistler, the distinguished artist, died yesterday afternoon at Chelsea. James M'Neill Whistler. besides being one of the most iamous painters of his time this works including the portrait of Carlyle. the portrait of his mother, which hangs in the Luxembourg Gallery in Paris, and numberless beautiful drawings. etchings, and lithographs of London and the Thames), was also one of the most noted humourists of the period. His book on "The Gentle Art of Marking Enemies" (an art whic.h. with his sharp tongue, he understood very well) is a most a-musing record of the quarels of a man of genius. Mr. Whistler was born in 1334. and wag by birth an imerican. For a good many years past he had lived in Paris. but latterly he has been back in Chelsea, where he made his fame.

A ROMANTIC STORY Miaa Anna Head. a well-known California heiress, is shortly to be married to Mr. Arthur Jephson in London. The story of the engagement is quite romantic. Ten years ago the young couple wished to marry, but Mr. Head vetoed the match. He refused to settle <Lny sum upon his daughter unless she mar- ried someone with a title. Mr. Head died recently, and the marriage ia to take place L almost imotedia.tety.

A GAMBDNG HELL Clever Raid by London Police. PROPRIETOR ESCAPES BY A LADDER ON TO ROOF At Marlborough-street Police court, London, yesterday, Frederick Finson, German, door-keeper. Euston-buildings; Frederick Double. labourer, Cama.by- street, W.; Adolph Silverstein, dealer and croupier, of New York State, and staying at <jkuldford-street; and Daniel Moore, clerk, Leig'hton-road. Kentis-h Town, surrendered to their bail to answer the accusation of keep- ing a common gaming-house in a second-aoor room at Hanway-street. Oxford-street. Twenty- eight other men, foreign and English, were charged with be"ng found on the premises. The raid was conducted by Superintendent Bantick. Chief-inspector Derby. Detective- inspector Kane. and other officers of D Divi- sion. at two o'clock on the morning of the 10th inat., the proprietor (who has not yet been arrested) escaping, apparently by ladder on to the roof. A "scramble" ensued, great resistance being offered to the entrance of the police by Finson and Double, who were at the door-a "awing" door, opening inward. Ti. club-room, which contained all the evidences of a game of faro in progress when the raid was made. waa small. The windows were battened, pasted over with brown paper, and heavily curtained. It was very hot—"worse than a Turkish bath." as the superintendent remarked. Some of the prisoners had concealed considerable sums of money in their socks. Two of the frequenters did not appear to. day. and warrants for their arrest were granted. Mr. Maskett now said that SilveMtein had been seen to act as croupier at the club. and Moore as banker or croupier. Achille Vercisi, charged last week as a principal, would now only stand with the frequenters, as there was no particular charge to be brought against him. So-perintendent Bantick (re-called) said that the resistance of Finson and Double to the entry of the police was considerable.—Detec- five-inspector Kane corroborated. Detective-sergeant Elliott gave evidence of having obtained admission to the "club" oa severe nights at the beginning of July. Faro was played up till about five o'clock each morning, the stakes ranging from Is. to 20s. Forty-two men were there one night, and on another occasion there were 35. Finson OM night, apparently referring to Silverstein, re- marked, "We can't get any money while these Jews are at the bank. (Laughter.) Mr. Denman: He meant the Jews always got the best of the gambling. (Laughter.) Continuing his evidence, the Sergeant added that there were drinks, whisky and soda cost- ing 6d. Moore acted ae croupier on two occa- sions. The prisoners pleaded not guilty, Mr. Tonkin pointing out that Double could not take part in the club affairs, aa he was one of the "redskins"-(laughtera t the Hippodrome, and was in two performances every day there. Mr. Denman: Perhaps he practised for the! Indian climate by "bunging" up the windows of the ctub. (Laughter.) Mr. Denman characterised the ptace as of the lowest and worst description, and fined! Finson JEM, or three months' hard labour, Silverstein and Moore JB25 or two months each, and Double -BIO or six weeks, remarking that if the proprietor bad been before the court! he would have been severely dealt with. The frequenters were bound over in JE10 not to haunt such places for twelve months. .———————————————

NEWPORT GENTLEMAN Appomted Commercial Agent! for New South Wa'es. Mr. C. C. Lance, the commercial agent in London for the Government of Xew Sooth Walee. paid a Hying visit of a few hours to Cardia', yesterday. Mr. Lance ia a Newport boy. and the son of the late Rev. J. W. Lance. a wen-known Baptist minister of that town. but has lived in Sydney for about twelve years. His appointment is a new one, made by his Gon.-ernment with a view to bringing the produce of the Colony more prominently before British merchants and obtaining informatio'n as to the best methods of packing. Ac.. for the English market. Having been in England now for about, a. year. he has visited a large number of provincial towns. and will pay & longer viait to Cardiff in a few months. Mr. Lance, who was much struck with the up-to-date methods and the size of Cardiff docks, considers that Cardiff is bound to grow intc a large centre for the distribution of Colonial prodace. Mr. Seddoc, he added, had. recognised this in his proposal to esta.b- lish one of his meat shops in Cardiff. He (Mr. Lance) hoped to introduce to Cardiff New South Wales timber for wood paving, and ha thought there was, undoobtediy, an opening for the frozen meat trade in the town. Mr. Li-ne-e would say little in regard to the proposed fiscal reform. But he remarked that the Colonies did not want to exploit Great Britain. They simply wanted a scheme which would be to the interests of both the Mother Country and the Coioniea.

MtNERS FEDERADON AND FREE LABOUR Referring to the case of nearly 400 Welsh colliers. who were proceeded against for refct- sing to descend the Universal Colliery Com- pany's pits at Aber, unless a few joined the Federation. and were fined £2 and costs each man, a ik-)rz,egpondent of the "Globe" writes to say that, unfortunately,! many of the colliery owners in that part of the United Kingdom have allowed similar practices to remain unchecked, with the con- sequence that non-unionist workmen had either to submit to become unwHIing mem- bers of the Miners' Federation or seek work I' at pits whose owners might be relied upon to see fairplay. Naturally, he observes, the n'jTnber of such workmen has greatly dwindled; but it only needs such action as' tha above taken ic every case of the kind that occurs, to clearly show that very many of the collierg in Sorth Wales prefer being fres from I the Federation, and relieved from the heavy deductions from. their wages which member- ship of the Federation involves.

THE ANTHRACiTE TRUST. I Success of the Negotiations at Swansea. Those in the know in connection with the South Wales anthracite amalgamation scheme -were a.Me to say d-efmitely on Friday that the promoters have now agreed on a basi', seemingly satisfactory to bcth parties. as to the prices for a large proportion of the beat selected col'ifnes, and °re proceeding to pay option moneys and complete the first batch of contracts forthwith. Things are now suSicientty advanced to ensure the cer- tain success of tha scheme. Reports from foreign markets also seem to indicate that when the operations of the syndicate are completed they "ill be in possession not only of the anthracite mines, but will have nnn control of every available market.

THE GOLD DUST CASE I The further hearing of the charge against the two men, David Weinstone. 41, a.

Lon- don. The charge, it will be remembered, was one of substituting brasa nlings for gold dust, which it wa.8 represented had been obtained from the mines in Siberia by convicts, and stolen afterwards by "a h'gh Russian official." After further evidence hsd been called, Mr. Williamson ea.id he had evidence as to other attempted salea of these Sling's, but nothing had been obtained. Mr. Clucr thought, that would not carry the present charge further, and was not wanted in so strong a case. The defence waa reserved, and the prisoners committed for trial at the Cent-raJ Criminal Court.

One stopped the two hor, n.nd the others attacked th econda<;toT, whom they tried to pull from his box. The conductor, however, was a, man of great strength. and defended hiase!f with energy. He whipped his horses, and got away from the robbers. During the struc-gle a window of the coach was broken, and a vroman W2.') '1'5 aside was injured by the flying glass. Th? thieves, who took to Cg'ht, are well known. Th.sir aim was to steal the sack of letters. Gendarm-es are now seazeli- ing fur them.

A SLEEPER'S SURPRiSE Mr. Ma.unce Goldjng, wat&hmaker, of 216, Walworth-road, London, S.E., had an exciting experience yesterday morning. He was alone in the house, his wife and family being away on holiday, and when he retired to rest for the night everything appeared safe. At half-paat three he received a, rude awakening, A boy, passing the shop. noticed a fire, and with commendabte thoughtfuJneaa decided to arouse the inmates of the house. This he did by throwing through the second-noor win- dow a stone, which happened to hit the solitary occnpa-nt of the room, who at first thought a, tile had fallen from the roof. Once roused, however, he ouicMy got out of the house. The Kennington Sremen were called, and with one hydrant put out the nre. after severe damage had been caused to the shop and its contents.

100 SOVEREIGNS For the Best Selected Paragraph. AN EASY COMPETITION OPEN TO ALL. Two of the most. interesting feature!' <n the "Evening Express" are the "Mainly About People" column on Page 2 and the column "For Women Foil:" on Page 4. Thp proprietors of the "Evening Expreaa" invite its readers to carefuUy read those columns during the months of July, Aagu&t. and September. 1905. To the reader who sends to t/6 ofnce, on or before October 7, 1902, the most interesting paragraph which ,xppear,, in either of those columns dnring the period named, together with sixty of the daily coupons which appear in the "Evening Express" during the three months, the proprietors will give a cash prize of £100. During the three months 79 coupons will appear, but it will oniy be necessary that readers should send in 60 (of different dates) with each paragraph they select for the competition. With the paragraph and the coupons. competitors will, of course, send their names and addresses clearly written. The prize of .ElM will bp. awarded by the Editor, whose decision ahull be nna.L If two or more competitors select the paragraph which is adjudged the most interesting the prize will he equally divided.

Sir S. Scott has given the name of Sca.llar dale to his two-year-old filly by Martagon— Ardvourlie. Quintessence, the winner of the One Thou- sand Guineas, is suffering from muscular rheumatism. Encombe. owned by Mr. F. Gardner, has arrived at Lambourn from France, to be trained for future engagements by J. F. HaJlick. Mr. L. de Rothschild's disappointing four- yeaj-'old coit Pom Pom, by Carbine—Queen of the Biding, has been turned out of training. and has left Hayhoe'a stables at Newmarket for the stud-farm at Leighton Buzzard. Mr. John ArnuII, the trainer, who was for some time at Lewes, quite recently went out to South Africa, and has quickly settled down there. At the last Durban meeting he won three races for the Hon. Frank White. It is the intention of the Stewards of the Jockey Club to remodel the programme of each of the July meetings, and the Princess of Wales's Stakes will either disappear altogether or not be retained in its present form. The rumour that the Prince of Wale-a, says the "St. James's Gazette," has a disposition to establish a stud of racehorses, lenda addi- tional interest to his visit to Tregothnan, Lord Fajimouth's beautiful Cornish home. It was the favourite residence of his father, the sixth viscount, who was for many years one of the most notable figures ever associated with racing. He possessed the finest horses that could be bred, and he ran them .for the love of seeing one good horse matched against another. It was as jockey for Lord Falmocth that Archer made his name. winning many of his greatest races on his lordship's horses. Lord Falmouth did not like the way his horse Ga-lliard ran in the Derby of 1884, sb sold off his stud. for which he received 110,000 guineas. He won .E300.CCO in stakes. The present Lord Falmouth inherits his father's love of race- horses, but not to so great an extent. He is a more than ordinarily usefn] member of the Jockey Club.

CONSPIRACY AGAtNST THE KING OF PORTUGAL The Cologne Gazette hears from Lisbon that, notwithsta.nding semi-omcial denials, it is a fact that a widespread conspiracy a.gninst, the Royal House of Portuga.1 has bccu d's- coYered, the prime instig2,tors being superior of&cera who were cashiered some time ago. Shortly aft:-er the assassination of King Alex- ander of Serria, suspicious doings were observed among the military, and a midnight gathering in mufti of of&cers and non-com- missioned of&cers of the 5th Infantry Regiment was cicsety watched by detectives. All these omcers were arrested ;t their next meeting and imprisoned. The omcera will be cui.u't- martialled. In other regimenta nleo signs of ferment a.re noticed.

CYCLING &,MOTORING I Notes on the Sport and Pastime. PRACTICAL PARS FOR PEDALLERS. The Carmarthenshire Standing Joint Com- mittee were informed at their last meeting that Superintendent Picton Phillips (Llanelly) bad purchased a motor-car, which would enabte him to visit his sta-tions more fre- quently. This is good news for local auto- carists. It would be a grand thing if every superintendent could be induced to go and do likewise. Mr. George Ace, of Tenby, was. probably the only resident of Wales who he'td an oSlcial position in the Gordon-Bennett Cup contest. Mr. Ace. with other omcials, had charge of the controls at Strad Bally. Mr. Ace returned from Ireland at the begin- ning of the week, in company with Mr. G. Williams, of collier tyro fame, on the latter's nnc car. The, journey back was made via Waterford and New MUford. and on Tuesday they had a fine run from Tenby to CardiS, en route to London. Mr. Ace was kind enough to favour me with his views. on the race. Although admitting that Edge's tyres caused the English rider much delay, he joins issue with tllos, who assert that had it not been for tyre troubles the Englishman would have won. Edge's car, good aa it was, was not in every way such a success for the work required of it aa the cars driven by at least two of the other competi. tors. At times Mr. Edge's car appeared to be behaving badly, judging by the appearance of a steaming radiator a couple of times during the racei Jenatzy, "the immovable," a.a Mr. Ace describes him. never spoke unless he was absolutely bound to, and never moved from his seat whilst passing through the controls. His general attire was in keeping with. the man, and his old tarpaulin hat was quite a contrast to the spick-and-span cheery Frenchman, Ds Knyif. who became a. great favourite with aU the Britishers. In fact, when it was seen that the British cars were out of the race. almost everyone hoped that the popular and plucky De Knyff would win. Bert Andrews, of Carmarthen, is the holder of the 25-miles amateur cllampisnsh p. This event, it will be remembered, he won very cleverly at the championship meeting at Pontypridd last season. I am, however. afraid that his form at present is not equal to retaining the race. At times' last Satur- day, in the contest for the Muratti Cup at Manchester, he gave now and again glimpses of his famous forcing tactics," but he will have to ride againbt men oi great speed powers next Saturday. Benyon is tipped in several quarter.' BrS the likely winner, but at this distance there are qu'.te a large number of clever and fast aspirants. The Carmarthen Sports Syndicate are hold- ing a two-days' meeting in August. Both amateurs and professionals arc to be catered for, and the total value of the prizea reaches nearly ;E520. The committee are giving the cash riders another trial, and this time. looking at the excellent racing provided by the profesEors in other part? of Wales thi3 season, I have every confidence that the cash riders will make up for the sorry display given at Carmarthen a couple of seasons ago. So we are to have another up-todate cycle track. The classic Strndcy Park at Ijlanelly has been taken over by a syndicate, thanks to the energy of Mr. Fred L. Rees. the LlaneUy cricketer and stockbroker, and by next season it is hoped that a. new cycle track on the ground will be ready for rac'ng purposes. Llanelly some time ago had a decent rac'ng path at Half-way, but. probably owing to its distance from the town, it was never a great success in the way of drawing good {fates." In their r&spective classes. viz., amateur and professional, C. B. Baker, of Carmarthen, and Tom James, of Mountain Ash, stand head and shoulders abo their many rivals. Answers to Corrosoondents.

NEW ZEALAND LAMB. I I London Writer and Cardiff Dealers. A London writer having made a. statement to the effect that New Zealand Iamb wa,s being sold cheaply to Cardiff dealers eo as to anticipate any action the New Zealand Government might take in opening shops for the sale of New Zealand mutton in the town. one of our representatives made inquiries on the subject. He was informed that New Zea- land mutton and iamb was not being sold cheaply relatively tc River Plate meat. River Plate mutton and ]a.mb was cheaper because it waa discharged direct from the ship at the port. but most of the New Zealand mutton came by radi from London. Owing to the higher price of New Zealand produce, the Argentine was favoured so far as South Wa'Ies was concerned. The local importers of Ar- gentine produce had no fear of Mr. Seddon's competition, believing that they can sell more cheaply than the Colonial Government. With regard to the statement that New Zea- mutton was being &Gid at a specially I 'niv price to customers who buy River Plate mut- ton, the suggestion was laughed at. "If we feared New Zealand competition." said one genMsma.n, "we should not sail New Zealand Iamb cheap. We should prefer to keep our customers to Argentine produce. Why should we starve ourselves of our profit to intro- duce New Zealand iamb at the same price as Argentine?"

BRITISH CREW MASSACRED According to advices from Matupi. the cap tain. named Howard, and the entire crew of a British vessel have been killed by natives of the Admiralty Islands, in the Bismarck Archipelago, South Pa<;i6c.

DIPHTHERIA AT TRELLECH. I Sir Henry Jackson and the Doctors. Mr. Bosanquet presided at the monthly I meeting of the Monmouth Rural District Coun- cil yesterday. The acting medical omcer Bent a re- port dealing with the outbreak of diph- theria, at TreIIeck, which waa considered at the last meeting. The report said that no further spread had taken place, and gave a. detailed account of the circum- stances. A surgeon from Tintern was called to some children living in three adjacent cottages. He reported two of the cases as diphtheria; at once, but afterwards sent a report that the disease was not diphtheria. In the meantime the disease spread, three children died. and in one of the cases the disease was said to he quinsy. Sir H. Jackson spoke in strong terms of the manner in which the outbreak had been met by the doctors, and expressed the opinion that some of the deaths might have been prevented. Medical practitioners, he said, who neglected to report infectious diseases were liable. A resolution was carried ordering the report of the acting medical omccr to be sent to the Local Government Board.

THE LONDON COLISEUM. I Mr0swa!d Stoll's New Enterprise I The "Morning; Advertiser" says:—"For I some time past the plans of this new theatre have been before the London County Council, and they are now accepted. Exactly how the entertainment which is to be given at the Coliseum will be described on the advertise- ments, it is not easy to see, for the English language has no word to fit a performa.nce which lies somewhere between a. Drury Lane drama, an Earl's Court or Olympian spec- tacle, and a music-hall show. But this and mora ia what we are promised at the Coliseum. For -weeks pass the passer-by along St. Mar- tin's-]'na has found the greater part of one side of the street in the hands of the bouaa- breakeT. and from force of habit. and in spite of notice boards to the contrary, probably imagined it to be some outlying portion of the Holborn to Strand improvement. It is! the site for the Coliseum, but the devasta- tion in St. Martin's-Iane gives hardly any idea of the c)earauce which is going on. The square, about an acre in extent, enclosed by St. Martin's-Iane, Chandos-street. Bedford- bury, and the roadway of May'stbuildinga, is now almost cleared away. It will be a splen. did position when for the roadway of Ma.y's-buildings is to be enlarged into a serviceable street 25ft. in width. Standing just by the corner of Chandos-sbreet and St. Mar- tin'&-lane the new building will be a decided addition to Trafalgar-square. The facade is to be built in Italian Renaissance style. Part of the structure will be carried up into a lofty Lower, which is to he surmounted by a- large revolving globe. This globe will form the most prominent external feature of the build- ing. It is not only to revolve, but it is to be illuminated, and wilk carry the word "Coli- seum" writ large for as much of the world as possible to see. Standing within sight of, if not actually in. what is at the same time the Bnest and the ugliest public square in Europe, the Coliseum will help to break the oppressive weight of the National Gallery and St. Martin's Church. How Nelson's Column will look silhouetted against an illuminated revolving light is another matter. But it la inside that the Coliseum is to achieve its great wonders. The projected arrangements sound more like a club than a place of public entertainment. There are to be coffee-rooma and smoking-rooms and writing-rooms, tele- phones and typewriters, and a. apecia.1 and complete suite of rooms and boudoirs for ladies and children. It w.ill be a. veritable Utopia for the country visitor. In fact, the country visitor and ladies and children will be the especial care of the management."

BACTERtA )N BATHS The annual congress Df the Royal Institute of PubHc Health was continued yesterday at Liverpool. In the bacteriological section a discussion took place regarding the water of swimming baths. Dr. Glynn. of Liverpool, said investigations showed clearly that the clear water in the baths at the beginning of each day contained comparatively few bacteria, and that first-class baths contained fewer than second class. Salt water baths contained fewer than freah water, partly because the bacteria introduced from the skin of the bathers multiplied less rapidly in salt water than in fresh. In a nrst class bath with a capacity of 70.000 gallons there was removed from the skin and hair of each bather in about ten minutes, approximately, 4.000.000,000 bacteria, and 6,000,000,000 in aecond- ciMs, where the bathers were mostly small àÔ)rI wi t.b. dirt.Y. ekim*.
