YcllOW.Fcvcr InvcstiSa-
ton.

Following the line of experiment
that has been so ably marked out by
Pasteur, Dr. Freize has been inves-
tigating yellow-fever with a min
uteness that may possibly lead to
some important result. He has ex-
amined closely the black vomit, and
finds that the color is due not to
blood but to some of those living
germs, or parasites, whose existence
has of late been so strongly suspec-
ted. BY means of these he has ar
tiiicially produced the black vomit
among small animals experimental
upon. He has produced the same
effect from earth taken from the
grave of a man dead from yellow.
fever. A guinea-pig confined in a
cage spread with this earth died in
five. Before confinement upon the
infected earth the creatures blood
was pure; after death, the cryptic
cocci, as they are called, were there
and other usual indications of yellow
fever were found. DR.. Freize, from
his experiments, regard it as certain
that yellow-fever is communicated
from one person to another by con-
tagion, which becomes infectious as
the causative action increases. Also
that the disease lies IN no paticular
organ but in the blood, and that the
liver is its especial seat. From the
blood of a dead patients liver the
experimenter produced fungus on
bread, which produced fever on fowls,
on guinea-pig, and upon a monkey.
The doctor thinks the parasitic ma
ture of yellewfcver is fully estab-
lished, aud that the cryptococci are
its orlginators by being present in
the blood. DIR. Jones, of New Or
leans, has made observations and ex-
periments whose results are confirm
ed and carried further by the very
dilligent Investigations DR.. Freize
has been making in the midst of yell
low-fever epidemic in Brazil. The
object in view in this very interest
ing line of physical research is to find
a means by which persons likely to
be exposed to yellow-fever infec-
ton may be inoculated with virus,
by the effects of which the inoculat-
ed person may be rendered as safe
from taking the fever as vaccinated
persons are from taking smallpox.

How to Take n Girls Arm.

The vulgar habit of clutching a
girl midway between the elbow and
the shoulder blade is INDUCED in
only by the dudes; by gentlemen
never. The southern gentlemen of
culture bends his arm at the elbow,
the latter member resting on his hip,
while his hand is allowed to run
strait out in front of him. In the
mich thus formed the arm of the lady
is allowed to rest, her dainty hand
neither touching his broad palm nor
any other part of his arm, but is al
lowed to dangle gracefully at the
side of his wrist. The support thus
furnished the fair one is more secure
than the old style Of allowing the
tips Of the fingers to rest lightly on
the sleeve Of the gentlemen's coat.

A hen may be calculated to con-
sumo one bushel of corn yearly, and
to lay ten dozen or fifteen pounds of
eggs. This is equivalent to saying
that three and one-tenth pounds of
of corn will produce, when fed to a
hen fve-sixths of a pound of eggs;
but fve-sixths Of a pound of pork
require about five pounds of corn for
its production. Taking into account
the nutrimcnt in each and the COM
parative prices of the two on an av-
erage, the pork is about three times
as costly food as the eggs, while it
is certainly less hcalthful.- [Ex.

The best testimonial as to the
good effects of the local option laws
of Arkansas, is to be found in the
orderly and quiet demeanor of the
people when assembled in great
crowds as on the Fourth of July
celebrations, public executions, etc.
There were three thousand people
at Paris, Logan county. Not a
single disturbance to mar the pleas
ures of the occasion. Four thousand
people met at Prairie Grove on the
same day. Everybody sober, or
derry, quiet and peaccable. An inn
mense throng gathered at clarks-
vile to witness the execution of the
train robbers. There was no distur-
bance Of any kind. Now suppose
there had been "free liquor" at these
placesg The result would have
been a score or so of "frec fights"
aud very likely a homicide OF two.

IT Is anything but a happy lot
that the political reformer creates
for himself. Charles S. Wolfe, of
Pennsylvania, is an example. He
ran for Office on an independent
ticket, and was defeated, and last
wear he was the leader of these who
bolted the regular nomination.
Now, though an able and rather
brilliant man, he seems alone and
forlorn, !both parties having turned
against him. In his sorrow and
disgust he exclaims. 81 have had

ACCORDING TO New York papers
IL appears that electricity may soon
replace steam as a motive power on
the elevated railroads in that city.
The millions of people who have
been annoyed by the noise and smell
of the present rapid transit system
will undoubtedly welcome the
change. The development of cleo
tricity as a motive power is advanc-
ing with rapid strides. London has
recently developed wonderful energy
in adapting herself to every i'm
movement in that direction. The
Charing Cross and Waterloo Electric
hallway is the latest Of these IN
dertakings, which will tunnel the
Thames. through which passengers
will be carried by lightning at the
rate of eleven miles an hour. The
advantages of electricity as motor
n tunnels are very obvious.

THE WORK of tabulating the nrsV
general census ever taken in Indla
is about completed. In an area OF
1,372,5ss square miles, or a little
over one.third of that of the United
States, there is a population OF
25s 891. 1924, or over five times the
ponulation of the United States.
There are nearly as many dwelling
places in India as people in this
country. Of this vast horde OF
people but 100000 can read and
write, and but 100000 are under

religious beliefs, the religious status
of Ipdia is: Hindoos $685., 45O, Mo

one-half the latter being Catholics.
The effect of the law in India that
widows cannot marry again, IS
shown by the fact that out of 228,-

found to be 2O,938,626 confessed

AGAIN the New York Herald has
AIKEN up the annual allegation that
there is danger of poisoning from
eating canned food. To such an ex-
tent has the canning industry been
developed that one Can obtain pretty
nearly ali that he requires in the
shape of meats, fruits, vegetables
and grains in cans; even soups ana
puddings are timed" Carloads
of these goods are daily brought
into Utah, where they are eaten by
pretty nearly everybody, as they are
elsewhere, in the most perfect con-
6dence that Trey are not only con-
venient, and in the case of some ar
ticles, the cheapest form IN which
they can be obtained, but are whole
some and as free from poison as IN
other forms and conditions. Inc
uOison theory is that the danger
arises from contact of the con-
tents of the can with the tin,
the solder, the muriate OF zinc
used in soldering and with roslh'
1t is possible there is danger as lhul
Gated. but if so it is very small IN
deed. Whatever there may be IN
the theory, experience proves that
the alarms so frequently sounded
are largely sensational. Rosin is
disagreeable to the taste, but 1t IS
entirely harmless, and the muriate
of zinc is used in such small quantl-
ties that little or no harm can posi-
Div result from it. The truth is,
that the interests of the owners
compel them to make their goods
sweet, clean aid wholesome. They
more than anybody else, have need
TO be careful, for not only would a
case of poisoning result seriously
for them, but ruin their business.
The best argument against Che
validity of the poison assertions IS
the fact that the people of this
country have for years daily COM
sumed perhaps millions Of cans OF
corn, beans, meats of various kinds
and fruits and there has seldom ii
ever occurred well authenticated
case of poisoning from eating
canned food. A large proportion
of the food Of the army and navy
is canned, and who ever heard of a
healthier lot of men than our SOL
diers and sailors? IL there be dan
germ canned foods it arises from
permitting the article to remain in
the can after the latter has been
opened and the food exposed to the
air. Under such circumstances the
conditions may be favorable for
chemical reactions that pro duce
the poisons. No canned food show
ing the slightest sign of fermenta-
ton should be eaten, for this gene
rally evidences that the sealing has
not been perfect, and the presence
of Oxygen may have resulted in de
Ieterious combinations.

The Chicago, Milwaukee and st.

a line of railroad across the con-

the best route. We hope there is
something more in the telegram
which appears elsewhere in this
