More than 15,000 persons entered the | j
loons of the New National Museum <
mllding at 10th and B streets north- (
vest yesterday, and it took but a super- 2
iclal observation to learn that the larger
>art of this huge army of visitors to 1
tmerica's great scientific, historical and i
irtistic collection had never known of t
ts wonders before. The opening of the 1
ast treasure house during hours; when r
he people who work can visit it can 1
10 longer be called an experiment. It c
s a success. The numbers tell the story.
In the space of fifteen minutes more a
teople had entered the north door of *
he building than had gone through j
rt a whole day before under the c
Id rule of opening only on week
lays from 9 o'clock until 4:30 o'clock in *
he afternoon. The books of the mueum

0 the collection of paintings hanging in ,
he National Gallery of Art. which is a *
mall part of the museum's valuable eolsction.
Long and Broad Corridors.
The wide corridors of the museum when f
mpty give the impression of lonesome- c
ess. They are long and broad, generous a
1 their proportions and have the cold, 1
ormal appearance of mathematical ex- t
ctness and scientific precision, but when g
lied, as they were yesterday, with a
hrong of people in families and groups the
nlooker was given the impression that a
plendld public reception was being held.
t was a crowd to be studied, a typical *
Washington family crowd, made up of s
athcrs, mothers and children. (
It was easily seen that most of those ^
ho visited there yesterday were straners
to the place. It was easily seen, also, s
tjat few of them had ever been inside the t
Id building. Their expressions of delight u
nd wonder in front of the cases where
lie exhibits are arranged show plainly v
tiat the museum is one thing they have j,
verlooked of necessity in the past. The j
atbering of the enormous crowd was c
vidence that the appropriation for a ,
tw extra hours of labor, light and heat ^
uring the hours when "the people" can j
vail themselves of the opportunities of
tie place is one of the biggest educational 0
ivestmentB the government can rm*Ke. ^
'rom the standpoint of attendance three y,
ours yesterday afternoon has beaten the
revious hours of seventy-five week days. r
Demonstration of Popularity. f
The officials of the museum no longer
eed to watch the Sunday opening with
ny appreciable degree of nervousness, j
esterday afternoon's visitors proved that t
he Star's contention concerning the need r
>r opening the museum in popular hours j
i extremely well founded, and also that e
U UliLI IJ 10 IICCUCU IU CIlVfT lliv; J/tV|/iV J
hat the museum has.
No exhibit can claim the prize for c
opularity. No one corridor held more
isitors than any other. The people who o
ntered the doors in hundreds went e
hrough every nook, and corner of the c
ilace opened to visitors. As has been f
umounced, not all of the museum is ii
pened. as the exhibits are not all prci&red
for the new building. Thousands
if interesting collections are still in the
Id building, but yesterday's experiment
rill serve to hurry the moving of these 3
i4ber exhibits to their new home. Even |
he beauties of the National Gallery of
trt. with the thousands of persons who
tood in front of the paintings and ad- a
nired them, can claim they had any ad- ?
rantage over the interesting collections I
if meteorites or the life size family i
rroups from Africa, the South seas, the ,
ilalns of America or from the Arctic
ircle. J
Many Specimens Unmarked. j
There is but one criticism heard. Many <
if the articles in the cases are not i
narked. The visitors took a great interest.
for instance, in the well arranged {
.rticles in the ethnology corridors. A j
ase full of specimens from Africa at
resent is simply marked as such. The
dentity of individual articles in many
ases is left to the imagination of the j
isitor. Many a person was heard to
fish that each article could be marked J
ilth Its correct name and use. with, per- <
taps, some slight history.
More Space Next Sunday. *
"We expected a great crowd," said i
ticnara Kathoun, assistant secretary or

ire had no idea that so many people ]

that people want the museum

"The crowd was an interested one.

. According to reports being received

mouth of the Potomac in Virginia, where
ire located the big factories employed in
making iish oils and fertilizers from menhaden
and other products of nets iished
In the lower part of Chesapeake bay, the
business this season has been especially
tood. The catch has been larger than
usual and prices received for the products
af the factories being especially remunerative.
A large fleet of big steamers is employed
in catching the flsh and with the
factories gives employment to many hands.

been in operation for the past two year#
two new factories were built on the bay
shore of Lancaster county, Va., this year
and were worked this season. Heretofore
the force employed in the Ashing steamers
and in the factories was made up almost
exclusively of foreign laborers. In
the present season a large proportion ol
the men employed came from the local
population in the vicinity of the factories,
and as a consequence farmers have had
a difficult time of it in obtaining hands
to work their farms.

SEEK RABIES GERM
Belief That It Exists in Brain
of Mad Dogs.
RESEARCH BY SCIENTISTS
Work of Bureau of Animal Industry.
Department of Agriculture.
DETERMINATION OF MALADY
Heads of the Suspected Animals Submitted
for Examination??Hundred
Cases Annually.
''The victim's? wounds were cauterized
and the dog's head was sent to the Department
of Agriculture."
This was what the average citizen read
in an account of a mad dog scare a few
score times, and probably wondered what
the Department of Agriculture does with
the dog's head. Only the attending physician
and the parents, if the victim was
a child, bother to follow up the examination
of the dog's brain.
But now that rabies is such a common
disease and there are on manv cases Of
dog bite that may or may not be the
groundwork for a case of hydrophobia
it is interesting to know that there is a
court of scientific last resort where it can
be and is definitely determined wnether a
dog that lias done any biting is rabid or
not. So far as Washington is concerned,
the Department of Agriculture is the
court and Dr. F. M. Webster is the judge.
Dr. John llohler directs the division of
pathology in the bureau.6t animal industry,
where the cases of the supposedly
rabid dogs are sent, but Dr. Webster is
the scientist who does the work of actual
determination.
Hundred Cases Every Tear.
There are on an average a hundred
cases a year sent to his desk, and in
about three-fourths of the cases the
diagnosis is rabies. Fortunately for the
public, only about 14 per cent of the cases
of mad dog bite develop into hydrophobia,
even if no precautions are taken. At the
hygienic laboratory of the public health
and marine hospital service they have an
antl-rabic treatment that they apply when
a person is bitten by a dog that is known
to be rabid, and this reduces the chances
of developing rabies to something less
than a quarter of 1 per cent.
But if the dog has been killed, as is
usually the case with a supposedly mad
dog, the hygienic laboratory waits for the
verdict of Dr. Webster before it gives
the preventive treatment.
Now, the thing interesting the public is
what the scientist does with the dog's head
on whose condition such a momentous
dec;sion hangs. First he gets out a slice
of the dog's brain and off it he shaves a
microscopic film. This is put under the
microscope, and if it shows the presence
of Negri bodies the dog was mad. This
has been established by scientific experiment
so many times in so many quarters
of the world that the evidence is accepted
as conclusive. Should the dog have
been unquestionably mad this examination
is simple and the verdict can be rendered
in about twenty-four hours. If the
Negri bodies are not found it is fair, but
not conclusive, evidence that there was
nothing the matter with the dog.
Minute Examination Necessary.
The surgeon then goes a step farther.
He gets out the plexlform ganglion and
looks for the bodies there. In the early
stages of the disease they may be there,
and not yet developed in the brain cells.
If this examination is also negative, then
there is but one thing to do. There is a
solution prepared of a small section of
the suspected brain and this is injected
into a rabbit.
Usually nothing happens, but occasionally
where the dog was in the very
early stages of rabies the disease is communicated
to the rabbit. And thus it is
demonstrated that if the dog examined
were really mad a verdict usually can be
given in twenty-four hours. If at the end
of that time a positive diagnosis is not
made the chances , are the dog was
healthy, but if at the end of two weeks
there is still nothing to report the victim
can be sure the result is negative.
These Negri bodies looked for with such
care are irregular little black specks of
characteristic appearance and responding
to certain stains the scientists se on the microscope
slides. They are so called not
because they arc black, but because they
were discovered by an Italian scientist
named Negri In ltHtfl and are the nearest
approach to "the bug" of rabies that any
one has found.
Unable to Discover Germ.
Many efforts have been made to isolate
the specific germ of rabies, for it is suspected
there is ?<uch a germ. But the effort
has been unsuccessful. Virus bearing
the germ will pass through a Birkenfeld
filter, but it will be stopped by the finer
texture Pasteur filter. So the size of the
germ must be between the two. However,
the Negri bodies are the evidence of the
disease, and in the absence of a germ
they are the things looked for.
The department has been called on to
pass on several hundred cases of suspected
rabies in the past three or four
years. In liX)8 there were nearly 200 dog
heads sent in for examination. Of these
221 were positively identified as rabid.
In 1900 there were 153 caws and 104 positive
identifications. In 10x0 there were
116 cases and 75 identifications.
This would indicate that the disease
was on the decrease. But the authorities
say this decrease was due only to the
muzzle law and the activity of the dog
catchers, who in a single season captured
over 4,?JOO dogs?twice as many as
in the preceding year.

TO RECONSIDER PLAN
FOR LINCOLN MEMORIAL
Matter Will Be Discussed To
i- : i /\l
morrow evening oy onamber
of Commerce.
The regular October meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce will be held tomorrow
night at 8 o'clock at the chamber's
headquarters in the Brentano building.
' Since the last regular meeting ot
the organization was held the oflices have
been moved from the third to the second
floor.
Among the matters of importance
which will come up for consideration is
a proposition to indorse, as the proposed
Lincoln memorial, a splendid highway
from Washington to Richmond, Va., instead
of the other projects for the memorial,
Including the monument suggested
by the McMillan park commission to
be erected in Potomac Park.
May Change Indorsement.
The chandler previously has gone on
record favoring the park commission's
plan, and a warm contest over the matter
Is expected tomorrow. The supporters
of the Washington to Richmond
highway plan point out that at the time
the chamber voted to support the park
commission's plan for the development
of the city no suggestion had been made
for a Lincoln memorial highway to Richmond,
and that therefore the chamber
has a right to pass upon this- matter
again and amend its former action if it
lo O/\M crl /lorarl wisp.
Two amendments to the constitution
of the chamber will be voted upon, one
providing that officers and directors of
the chamber shall not occupy similar
offices In any other organization having
similar alms, and the other curtailing
the power of the board of directors
so far as the trial of members
accused of misconduct is concerned,
and placing the sole power in the
hands of the chamber itself.
Opposition to Change.
The special committee of the Chamber
of Commerce to outline a campaign
against the proposed change in the organic
act of the District, so far as the
share to be contributed by the federal
government in the support of the National
Capital is concerned, will meet
Wednesday afternoon, October 18, at
3:30 o'clock at the Chamber of Commerce.
The call for the meeting was
issued today by President Oyster.

ARCADIAN ROMANCE.
Still Holds First Place in. Our Sunday
Magazine.
Notwithstanding that our next Sunday
Magazine contains four prize aspirants,
and of good quality, too, "The Money
Moon" is pretty apt to remain in iirst
place in our readers' regard, even though
two other installments have been printed
heretofore. Indeed, this beautiful serial
story by Jeffery Farnol will in aU probability
hold first attention until it is finished.
It is rare indeed that any magazine
has printed such a delightful Ar
cadtan romance. ine cry nowaaays seems
to be for action, action, action. "Sublimated
melodrama," many editors insist
upon. Our Sunday Magazine has pubnsned
stories of tills character on several
occasions, but to give diversity our editors
gobbled up "The Money Moon" the
minute it was submitted.
The next installment takes Bellow more
fully into the toils of the little Odd of
Romance; for the attractions of Anthea
have already effectually dissipated the
last gray shadow of the haunting specter
of the might have been. Small Porges,
of course, continues to be the wonderful
boy who was introduced in the first number.
* Poor Anthea had been obliged to mortgage
all the furniture of the old manor
and the sale was set for the following
day, as she absolutely refused all overtures
of Squire Cassilis that she marry
him and thereby save her goods. Old
I Adam and Bellew had a confidential talk
. about it, which ended by the letter's giving
Adam a hundred pounds with in'
structions to bid in everything at the
r auction. Anthea and Bellew went to an

Five physicians, composing the entii
staff of veterinarians connected with t?
department, were ordered to make a
inspection today of all the dairy f&nr

The department has not made public tt
dealer's name.
Theory of Officials.
It was stated by officials of the healt
department that the dairy farms are li
cated both in Virginia and Maryland. A
investigation, they believe, will discloi
the fact that typhoid fever has develops
in the family of one of the dairy fan
employes. If this should be the case U
farm immediately will be ordered close*
There is a probability that the eleve
typhoid cases were contracted throug
different sources and that it merely is
coincidence that all the patients hat
been receiving milk from the same dairj
man.
Will Urnmine P.nnHiHnnc
To detect the presence of typlioi
germs in milk by microscopic or any oth<
method of examination practically is a
impossibility, said an official of t.:
health department. It is as difficult a
the detection of tubercle germs in milk.
Consequently, the health department'
examination of the present situation wi
be an examination largely of condition
on the dairy farms and any poss;bl
means by which typhoid germs coul
find their way into the milk rather tha
a test of the milk itself.
