Y. A SCIENTISTS THEORY. Exhaled Breath of Sick People Does Xot Contain Polsonons Bacteria. WASHINGTON. April National Academy of Sciences, In secret session, today, elected the following new members: Dr.

William H. Welch, of Johns Hopkins University; Dr. William L. Elkin. of Yale University, the noted astronomer; Prof.

Charles Sprague Sargent, of Harvard University, the famous arborculturist, and Prof. Charles Whitman, of Chicago University. Professor Whitman was formerly connected with the Troy Polytechnic Institute, and is a celebrated paleontologist. The academy selected Philadelphia as' the place for the fall meeting, and fixed the date at October 29. At that meeting the new president, Prof.

"Wolcott Gibbs, will be inducted into office and Professor Marsh's term of office will terminate. Three foreign associates were chosen Prof. Rudolph Lueckhart. of the University of Leipsic; Prof. Julius von Sachs, of Wurzburg, and Prof.

Sophus Lie, the famous Norwegian astronomer. The Barnard gold melal was awarded to Lord Raleigh tor hi3 discovery of argon in the atmosphere. The Watson medal was presented to Seth C. Chandler for his researches in astronomy. A paper by John S.

Billings, on the composition of exhaled air, created much interest and evoked considerable discussion. Dr. Billing9 reached the conclusion that in the exhaled breath no conditions of disease exist and no poisonous bacteria are contained. The paper maintained that the breath even of a consumptive i3 not dangerous. It Is only when the subject coughs or sneezes that the exhalation bears the germs of disease.

It Is never in the air itself that such disease spreads, but in the dust from sputa. The whole theory of the paper was subversive of accepted Ideas of ventilation. Dr. Billings even went 50 far as to say that, aside from the matter of inhaling poisonous organic matter, breathing the pure air of the mountains secures no special immunity from disease over breathing the of the slums. Neither produces disease.

Professor Remsen, of Johns Hopkins, said this paper would upset all accepted notions on the subject Prof. Bowdltch, of Harvard, said he agreed with the general line of results brought out by Dr. Billings, but thought the skin was a great source of disease conditions. CAUGHT BY A DECOY LETTER. C.

O. Jones, Alias George Morrison, Stamp Counterfeiter, Arrested. CINCINNATI, April IS. It' has Just been made public that George Morrison, one of the counterfeiters of the two-cept postage stamps, was arrested in the Cincinnati post-office, Tuesday, on a decoy letter. He had sent to the Chicago Tribune, from Cincinnati, an advertisement offering to sell $125 worth of stamps for $100, and directing answers to be sent to George Morrison, Monterey, Mexico.

The Tribune refused the advertisement and turned over his letter to the United States authorities. Thus a trap was laid for his arrest. The officers are reticent on the matter, hoping thereby to capture Morrison's accomplices. CHICAGO, April 18. C.

O. Jones, a former newspaper artist, was arrested last night by the United States secret service on a charge of counterfeiting two-cent stamps. He confessed to-day to Captain Porter that he and the man Morrison are one and the same. Jones's friends say he has been in Canada for the past month, and returned yesterday. The secret service men tracked him to Cincinnati, where he wrote to a Chicago newspaper that his stamps were now for sale in Mexico.

The Mrs. Mack, who was arrested in Hamilton, is said by the officers of the government to be Mrs. Tessa McMillan, who nas been mixed up with several shady transactions before. She at one time was under arrest in St. Louis for buying goods in that city which were shipped to Chicago and Bold.

She has made this city her headquarters for some years and it was the fact of her Identification -which led the officers to look for Morrison, the forger of the stamps, in this city. OPPOSED TO RITUALISir. Organization of Episcopal Laymen to Fight Certain Church Practices. ST. LOUIS, April 18.

Cracker Work and Other Buildings Burned Loss About $500,000. PHILADELPHIA, April 19. At half past 1 o'clock this morning fire was discovered in the rear of the first floor of the Wilson Cracker Company, otherwise known as the New York Cracker Company, at No. 210 North Front street, and in the course of an hour, over a dozen other buildings had been wholly or partially destroyed. The building is a big four-story structure, surrounded by a labyrinth of small streets.

Before the firemen had actually gcUte.n to work on the cracker company's buildings, the flames had spread to the soap and chemical manufactory of William Drydopple, adjoining on the south, and a few moments later eight small dwelling houses on Augusta placeman alley to the south, were burning. There were in all about sixteen families in these houses, but all were removed safely. The fire then spread, taking in the liquor store of Edward Magulre, the chair factory of William H. harness manufactory of Walker and the house of J. Meany.

Some of these buildings are on Race street, above Front, to the south of the cracker company's place. In the meantime the fire was spreading to the building on the where stand a number of large manufactories, but through the work of the firemen and flreboats, which had run hose from their stations on the Delaware river, the Are was not allowed to spread on that side to any extent. Shortly after 2 o'clock fireman Magee was hurt about the head by the falling of the back wall of the cracker company's building. Ho was standing in a room of the Drydopple place when the wall fell, and was Injured by falling bricks. He was removed in an ambulance, but it is thought that his Injuries are not serious.

Owing to the lateness of the hour, no exact figures as to loss and insurance could be obtained, but a conservative estimate places the loss thus far at $500,000. At 2:45 a. m. fire is still raging, but is thought to be under control. BEER AND NITRIC ACID.

Harper's Young People. In the first for general riding It is safe to say that one should never try to keep the same speed in going up a hill that he haa been setting himself on a level road. Yet this is the natural tendency of ali riders. The bicycle should be allowed to slow 'down, and the pressure on each pedal should be made the moment that it turns beyond the highest point of its arc. The push should be strong for the moment, and should then be wlthd-awn before the pedal has turned so far down that the pressure on it Is partially wasted.

In other words, the principle Is the same a.i in rowing, where the stroke should be made most powerful at the moment when the oar Is at right angles with ihe body, and therefore in the position where the oarsman's strength counts for the most. If the bicycle is allowed to run slowly, and. this pressure is alternately made on one pedal and then on the other, you will find it moves along slowly, to be sure, but steadily, and that you are at the top of th hill before you' realize it, and without having even quickened your pulse to' any great extent. A very steep hill may, of course. agonally across from one side to the other if the road is -wide nnd smooth enough that is, by zigzagging up the hill.

Georse B. Williams's Luck. Washington Special to Chicago Record. Gen. George B.

Williams, formerly of Lafayette, and more recently a resident of Washington, left last night for China and Japan in the interest of a wealthy syndicate which expects to find profitabls opportunities for Investment and business operations in those countries when peace has been restored. General Williams is familiar with both countries, having lived in Japan for seven or eight years. During the administration of General Grant he. was deputy commissioner of Internal revenus at Washington "and went to Japan upon invitation of the Mikado to organize a similar system for that government. His departure upon this mission indicates that the importance of the condition which Japan has exacted as one of the terms of peace is being appreciated by business men In this country.

Heary Sale of Floor. MINNEAPOLIS, April millers here report thai the sales of flour to-day have been enormous. The avidity with which offers are picked up at advanced quotations proves that stocks of flour everywhere are practically exhausted, and that the trade' begins to believe that possibly the present advance Is but the commencement of a very material one. The millers advanced prices all over the country 10 cents per barrel day before yesvr-day, and another 10 cents to-day. Tey have also advanced prices in Chicago.

This would seem to indicate that the flour war in the city is over. Some of the milling concerns here say their sales to-day have been the largest in the history of their business.
