Psittacosis is the name of .1 newly

vestigate.
vestigation, pets of the wealthy aiic'
the comforters of the declining vears
of elderly maidens will suffer. for psitr
tacosis has been traced directly to the
parrot. From parrots this disease has
been communicated to men, and among
men it is rapidly spreading. ~Psitta-
cosis has heretofore been mistaken for
consumption, but French scientists
have shewn that it is more to be
dreaded than tuberculosis. For this
reason the attention of patholcgists and
all progressive men of medicine is be-
ing' directed to the newly discovered
disease.
To Dr. Novard, the French scientist.
belongs the credit for finding the dif-
‘ference between psittacosis and tuber-
culosis. Dr. Novard has been pursu-
ing his investigations in Andral Hos-
pital, which is in the Rue des Tour-
nelle, in Paris. This famous old insti-
tution, which was originally :1 mon»
archy, and was taken by the populace
during the revolution and converted
into a hospital, is in a locality which
is given over largely to stores for the
sale of domestic pets of every descrip-
tion. For the past five years Dr. No-
vard noticed that numberless owners
and employes of these stores were
brought to Andral Hospital, seemingly
suffering from consumption. In every
case the patient seemed to have been
afliicted suddenly. Great robust men
and women were stricken without
warning. and while after the disease
was once fairly started it ran its c0u1'se
exactly like tuberculosis, Dr. Novard
finally came to Believe that it was not
consumption. It was in symptoms
which were regarded as being of mino1
significance that Dr. Novard thought
be detected a din'erence in the cases
of the majority of Andral Hospital pa-
tients and other people sufiering from
consumption.
The disease was originally contracted
by people, it was found, by the handl;
ing of unhealthy Iparrots. Sometimes~
the food the sick‘ parrots had picked
over got under the finger nails. The
germs could thus be carried about for
days if theparrot keeper was not par-
ticular about his toilet. Psittacosis, it
was found, could be communicated
only to human beings from parrots. It
would not spread among other ani-
mals.
There have been numerous cases in
New York in recent years where per-
sons who have been bitten or scratched
by parrots have died within a few
days, supposedly from blood poisoning
It has been psittacosis and not blood-
poisoning that has caused death. There
are dozens of cases of this kind on re
cord.
Among the most notable cases which
have come under my own personal ob
servation was that of Mrs. Charles
Osgood, who died at the Stuyvesant
House, after she had been bitten or
the lip by her parrot. Her face soor
puffed out to frightful proportions. She
died in fearful agony within thirty
hours after she had been bitten—New

BOOT“ AND SHOE DEALEE,
HORSE AND WHEELMAN.
How the Speed of the fivo nave Gradu-
ally Approached One Another.
An interesting comparison, suggest-
ed by the wonderful speed shown by
wheelinen during the last summer, is
the speed of the horse and the speed
of the man.
Such a comparison would" have been
amusing if made ten years ago, but
to- day it is a subject worthy to be
consideied.
In the wheeling world the season
was the most sensational in years. In
seasons past one man stood out the
undisputed racing champion. The sea- ‘
son of 1895 developed three men Who
rode through the season defeating one
another and being defeated in turn un-
til when the season closed, only a few
points separated them, leaving the
championship in doubt. These three
mew—Cooper, Bald and Butler—raced
hard and often. Their work was a
little “in and out.” and the diflerence
in their slowest and fastest races va-
ried many' seconds.
The great pacers, Gentry, Robert J .,
Joe Patchen, Star Pointer and Frank
Agans, won and lost as the men did,
but throughout the season showed
much more consistency and raced
closer to their extreme speed than the
men did.
A comparison between the number
of races, the number of miles, the
times and the average times of the
pacers and the cyclists, taking the
racers of the two, favor the pacer.
If isolated instances are taken, the
. cyclists are in the lead. P. J. Berlo
has ridden in a race faster than any
horse has paced or trotted. E. E. An-
derson has made a mile in express
time. Michel, Johnson, Eaton and
othgrs have ridden fast miles against
time, but their work is of the tin-cup
order, and is not work by which a
fair comparison'can be made.
Taking the men first, Butler has rid-
den in sixteen mile races. He was
first seven times. second twice, third
once, and unplaced six times. His av-
erage time was 2.10 1-5.
Cooper has ridden in eighteen races,
fourteen of which were mile e‘vents;
three, two-mile and one five-mile race.
He was first eight times, second once,
third four times and unplaced six
times. His average time for the mile
race is 2.10 4-5.
Butler rode in twenty mile races,
three two-mile and one five-mile race.
He finished first five times,
three times and third five times. He
was unplaced seven times in the mile
events. His average time is 2.10 3-5.
For the horses we have John R. Gen-
try first. He raced seventeen 'miles,
was first ten times, second four times,
third twice and once unplaced.- His
average time is 204%.
Robert J. has raced twenty-nine
miles, being first ten times, second‘
eight times. thiid nine times, and un-
placed two times. His average time
-is 2. 041/1.
J 00 Patchen has raced fourteen miles.
He finished first five times, second
and third twice each, and unplaced
five times. His average time is 2:06.
- Frank Agans has "raced forty-one
miles. In fourteen he finished first,

time is 2 0131/2.
By these figures it can be 'seen that
the average time of the horse is closer
to the extreme speed than the average
time of man is to his extreme speed.
Gentry’ s race record is 2:101/2,his slow-
est mile is 207174, and his average
