ploye of the board of health, who
places It in the streets of which the
dust is wanted for analysis. When
sufficient dust has settled on the plate
it is taken to the research laboratory
of the health department, where the
analysis is made.
One collection made on a windy day
in Fifth avenue, between Seventli and
Eighth streets, showed 320 distinct
colonies of bacteria. This was before1
the street was cleaned. After the
street had been cleaned another ex-
posure of the plate was made at the I
same spot and revealed only 120 col*
onies. After the analysis, it was said j
that many of these colonies ol bac-
teria were not harmful, yet a few
tubercular germs were found in each
tent It was explained that the b*. •
teria In the dust of the streets would
be generally harmless if there were
less expectoration, and that the harm
ful germs were only traceable to that
source.
The dust-collecting apparatus used
in Berlin differs a little from that
used in New York. It is mounted
about twice as high as the average i
man. From its appearance one would
think it absorbed the dust by suction,
but it does not, it only collects the
dust which happens to be blown into
it by the wind. Similar analysis is
then made to that made in New York
By means of these dust collectors
street cleaning can be put on a more
scientific basis, for when it is reported
that a certain disease is prevalent in j
any district of the city, the street I
cleaning department may by using
this dust collector be enabled to dls- I
cover the source of the epidemic.
