JENNER'S STRUGGLES.
Interesting Points Concerning His Discov-
cry of SMALLPOX Vaccination.

Interesting Points Concerning His Discov-
cry of SMALLPOX Vaccination.
Although Jenner was forty nine years
old before he made vaccination known
to the world, the subject had attracted
his attention when only a youthful APP
prentice to country surgeon. Hey
convinced that the current methods of
treating cow-poX and smallpox were
capable of improvement, and he set
himself to study the nature of the dis
ease. But for many years after his
opinions were made known to the med
zeal faculty they were contemptuously
secuted. He had first of all to prove,
contrary to the prevalent belief, that
what was called cow-pox was not d
certain preventive of smallpox. Then
he had to trace ont the nature of the
difference in the diseases to which cows
are subject, and to ascertain which of
them possessed the protective virtue
against smallpox. After repeated fail
ures he made the grand discovery that
it is 'only in certain condition of the
pustule that the virus is capable of
imparting its protective power to the
human constitution. 1t was on the
18th of May, 1893, that he first put his
theory to the test by transferring cow
pox by incubation from one human
being to the other. 1t was two years
later, however, before his famous 'ln-
quiry into the Causes and Effects of
the Variole Vaccine was published.
Henry Give was the first London doctor
to put the thing to the test, and he is
credited with performing the first sue
cessful vaccination in London. Other
cases followed and Lady Frances
Morgan (afterward Lady Ducie) was
the first lady of rank to have a child
Yaccinated. IN NE Year Bound.

A Mechanics Invention.

A Pittsburgh mechanic has invented
a process for manufacturing window
glass which, if successful, will revolu-
tionize that industry. 1t consists of
rolling the glass exactly as iron and
steel are rolled, instead of blowing it.
The melted glass is brought in a ball
from the furnace and conveyed over
the movable iron plates to the rollers.
These rollers are heated underneath by
natural gas flames coming from per-
forated pipes, thus maintaining the
glass at a malleable heat and at the
same temperature throughout its sur
face. 1t is estimated that ten times as
much glass can be produced by this
process in a given time as by blowing.
Experienced glass workers say that
the rolling is practicable if the glass is
kept hot during the operation. In pre-
vious experiments the glass cooled so
that it became brittle; but by the use
of natural gas in the way proposed
this difficulty is overcome.-M Y. Mai

A Queer Old Custom.

In Persia they bottle up their tears
as of old This is done in the follow
ing manner. AS the mourners are sit
ting around and weeping the master of
ceremonies presents each one with a
piece of cotton wool, with which he
wipes off his tears. This cotton is
afterward squeezed into bottle and
the tears are preserved as a powerful
and efficaeious remedy for reviving a
dying man after every other means
have failed. 1t is also employed as a
charm against evil influences. This
custom is probably alluded to in Psalm
LvI., 8: "Put thou my tears into a
bottle" The practice was once uni
versal, as is found by the tear bottles
which are found in almost every
ancient tomb, for the ancients buried
them with their dead as proof of their
affection. Exchange.

How an Indiana Farmer Entertained
Chicago Drummer.

Chicago Drummer.
Here is a story by a brakeman.
Maybe it's a chestnut, but if so it's the
brakeman's fault Coming in over
the Monon route a few days ago a
Chicago drummer sat musing by the
open window and wiplng perspiration
and coal SCOT from his brow, and, of
course, occupying two seats. Down
in Indiana some place a native came
in the smoker, and saws:
"Shove along, stranger, an give a
Teller show. Been killing hogs and
feel all used up"
Then the native sat down and settled
himself comfortably, much to the
drummer's disgust, and resumed
"Say, stranger, killing hogs is hard
work. Did you ever kill any hogs P"
But the drummer did not condescend
to answer.
"By gosh," continued the irrepres-
sible Hooser, 1--WE killed the biggest
hog yesterday that was ever killed in
Injeany. How much do you s'poss
that hog weighed ?'
Still no answer.
"He was so tarnal big that it took
eight of us to lift him up to the ham
stick, it did, b. gosh. You hain't no
idea how much that hog weighed, have
you stranger ?''
mo, l haven't" the drummer finally
blurted out; chow much did your
darned old hog weigh ?'
II don't know, mister. We didn't
weigh him r'-- Chicago Herald.

Some Startling Figures.

What startling results one finds in
our railway statistics! We have 340,-
900 miles of track--enough to girdle
the earth a dozen times, with several
thousand miles left for side-tracks.
More than half of these lines were laid
down at u cost of 5000, 900, 600
enough to pay the public debt four
times over. There are $4,000 engines,
$4,000 passenger coaches and million
freight-cars, and over 1000 patents
have been taken out for inventions in
railway machinery and appliances.
Every year 300, 100000 tons of freight
are carried. For moving this freight
the companies receive an average Of
1.29 cents per ton per mile, and for
each passenger carried they get Psi
cents per mile. 1t requires Il half-mil-
lion employees to run all these roads.
And vet it was only fifty-siX years ago
that Peter Cooper ran the first steam
car from Baltimore to Ellicott's Mills
at the unparalleled speed of mile in
every four and third minutes!-B Bal

"Why, what's the matter?"
"Matter Nothing, only every darned
animal on the place that tried the stuff
is dead now. The hogs seemed to be
doing pretty good until they tried that
cure, and then they hustled around to
see which could die the fastest. And
then the hens commenced the same
way, and we had to use up about half
my farm to make a grave big enough

Children can not begin too young to
earn money. If it is only a little-one
egg for every dozen they find, pay for
carrying the milk, n few cents per
week for washing dishes, or bringing
in the wood, or COAL or kindlings; so
much for every towel they hem; or they
may keep hens of their own, or a pig,
or care for their own calf along with
the other cattle-how much more in
terest they will take! There are an
infinite number of ways in which a
child can earn money, and that, too,
without paying him for his little kind
nesses to the home people, either; and,
then, he has an almost inexpressible
feeling of pride and independence
when he buys something with his own
earnings. There is no better servant
in the world than this same money; but
to be of most use, it must be rightly
managed, and only experience can
teach that lesson properly. AIRS. NelAe

That was the population and property
valuation in the middle of 1880, six
years ago. To-day, in the States and
Territories named, the population
based on the increase in the previous
decade, may be set down as 10000
and the value of property at $4,000, 000,-
900. The aggregate area of Arizona,
New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming,
however, was larger by 269, IA square
miles in 1880, on account or additions
made when they were organized into
territories, than the area as given here
in the deed of cession from Mexico
The area of California, Nevada, and
Utah has remained comparatively I'M
changed Making allowance for the
enlarged area, the population now in
the district acquired from Mexico under
the treaty numbers about 100000,
while the property comprised in it has
a valuation of about 81, 300, 100000.
From purely monetary point of
view, therefore, the territory gained in
the war of 1868 has paid the country
thirteen times over for the entire cost
of the contest by which it was acquired.
The gold product of California from
1913, when gold was first discovered
there, up to the end of 1885, aggregated
about $1,000, 100000, and the gold
and silver product of Nevada since
1862, at the date of the great silver dis
coveries in that State, have reached
$3.50, 100000. These two products
alone in the States named have paid
the war expenditure seventeen times,
and the supplies of these metals, ac-
cording to the opinion of experts, are
not yet half exhausted. If the value
of the other mineral products and of
the agricultural commodities yearly
marketed from these States. as well as
from the remaining portion of the dis
trict which was annexed to the United
States at the same time, was taken into
account. the balance on the credit side
of the National ledger which that dis
trict has brought us would be VASTLY
enlarged.
The war also led to the recognition
and acquiesence by Mexico of the an
nexation of Texas to the United States.

VITAL STATISTICS.

Facts With Regard to the Birth and Death
Rates of Various Nations.
Statisticians are bringing out some
curious facts with regard to the birth
and death rates of the leading nations
of the world Unfortunately, our
tables are not as accurate as those
collected in the European States.
Abroad, there is careful record of
marriages, births and deaths. These
are collected by us without any
thoroughness, save only when census
is being taken. In Eng land and Wales,
it has been found that the birth-rate is
80. 4, and the death-rate 20.5 per thou
sand persons. In Sweden, the birth
rate is 30.2, against a death1rate of
ISL In the German Empire, birth
rate 1913 and death-rate 26.l. Austria,
49,. birth-rate, 1916 death-rate. The
official returns state that our annual
birth-rat is SO, and death-rate Is, but
clearly our birth-rate is much larger,
rs we are growing in numbers faster
than any people on earth. Our in
crease is fully 100000 since the last
census was taken in 1880. Our colored
population have higher birth-rate
than have the Southern whites Among
the latter it is PSI, while for the col
ored it is 35.08, Although the death
rate of the blacks is quite large, still
they are increasing relatively faster
than the whites; it is also a curious fact
that more colored females are born
than whites, but taking blacks and
whites together, the births of the males
exceed those of the females. DEM

THE MEXICAN WAR.
Area of the Territory Acquired by the

Hidalgo Treaty.

Area of the Territory Acquired by the
United States Under the Guadalupe
Hidalgo Treaty.
The principal of the public debt of
the United States was increased to the
extent of S31, 494, $50 between July 1,
1916, and July l, 1946. This was al
most entirely due to the war between
Mexico and this country, which had
taken place within this period. The
aggregate cost of that war, however,
was about 300, OOO,0 900. This includes
the amount paid by the United States
to Mexico for the lands ceded to this
country by the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo, at the close of the war (Sl5,-
900, 000), and the debts due by Mexico
to United States citizens (S3, 800, 000),
which the United States agreed to as
sumo, as well as the cost of fitting out
troops and maintaining them in the
field, and other expenses arising out of
that contest. The following is the ter
ritory, with its area in square miles,
acquired by the United States under
that treaty:
