too late to get there. Hoskins always

too late to get there. Hoskins always
after bemoaned this fact, but then he
never seemed to realize that the con-
tents of that little satchel was the
price he paid for his life.
Seeing that the door was locked and
the blinds secure, Hoskins opened the
little satchel with key from the safe
and the next moment the iron hand
of the burglar was around his throat.
One yell would have brought him
help, for passing policeman tried the
front door while the burglar closed
his grip, but the yell could not be ut
tered. The burglar gagged him with
an old handkerchief thrust between
his teeth and tied in villianously
hard knot behind his head. Then he
leisurely tied up the respectable mer-
chant like a bale of goods.
He picked up the bundle of bills
from the satchel and for a moment
seemed puzzled where to put them.
His clothes had not as many pockets
as were necessary and he evidently
did not wish to take the satchel with
him. He retired softly to the interior
of the store and the merchant groan-
ed to think that if he could only get
that cash in the safe and lock it, or if
he could but reach the telephone just
above him, everything would have
been all right.
Perhaps it would and perhaps it
wouldn't. Hoskins was not accustom-
ed to the ways Of disappointed burg
lars. When his enemy returned Hos
kins' heart gave momentary jump
of delight. He thought help had
come, but it was only Bill rugged out
in new suit with fine overcoat on.
He slowed away the money, put the
loose silver and gold in his trousers
pockets and then turned to his old
master.
81 meant to have killed YOU" he
said, sand perhaps l ought to yet, but
l guess you'll be about as sorry to
lose all this money as most any other
man wonld be to lose his life. You'll
be here all safe enough till half past s
tomorrow morning. You'll try your
best to find me, but I'll have a good
start of you and wish you luck. Next
time poor devil tries to earn an
honest livin' don't shove him back in
the gutter. Ia, ia, old man. You've

The Australian boomerang Puzzle To

Scientists have i'm vain studied the
boomerang To discover the secret Of its
curious flight. 1t is against all laws Of
gravitation that an object hurled into
space Saould return To the same spot
from which il was cast. as il is impos-
sible TO explain the eccentric action of
n curved ball. Tho boomerang is all
the more marvellous when we consider
that the savages of Australia were first

careful manner in which the savages
manipulated the weapon, trying its

they attach To its having exactly the

MEDICAL PROGRESS.
Examples Of the knowledge Produced ~
tha Work Of TIE IA.t EIftx YeAra.

Examples Of the Knowledge Produced by
the Work Of the Last Fifty Years.
England may without boasting claim
that she has taken the lead not only in
gaining knowledge Of the conditions
which are concerned in the production
OF particular diseases. but that she has
also been first ia modifying her laws
and In creating public health admin
istration in response 10 this teaching.
DIR. Thorne took as an illustration of
the benefits which had been conferred
on the community by these changes
the reduction in the death-rates from
certain special diseases. Fifty years
experience Of smallpox had provided
data by which the extent Of the useful
ness Of vaccination might be better de-
fined. The Vaccination acts passed In
Queen Victoria's reign had led 10 vast
saving Of life. and especially OF child
life. and these had especially protected
those who are unable TO guard their
own interests. "Fever" had been
found 10 consist Of at least two differ
ent diseases-typhus and enteric fever;
the former largely due 10 the crowd
ing Of people in houses and Of houses
on site where air and light were shut
out; the latter mainly due 10 excre-
mental pollution. Each required its
special means Of prevention and these
had been applied with astonishing re-
suits. London had spent fourteen mil
lions Of pounds in the improvement Of
unhealthy areas, and among the results
might be cited the almost complete dis
appearance Of typhus from the metrop-
oils. Entcric fever had enormously
diminished, and this had been brought
about through the adoption Of methods
which the new knowledge showed To
bo necessary. Further investigation
had indicated the different channels
by which disease could be dssemi-
mated; Ballard and Michael Taylor had
demonstrated the part that milk could
play in the diffusion Of ontcric and
scarlet fever; Power and Klein had
shown how milk-scarlatina had its Or
igin, and had proved the urgent need
for human and veterinary medicine to
work together for the saving of human
life; Buchanan had taught that phthisis.
the scourgo of the British Isles, was
chiefly dependent upon conditions Of
soil which would be removed. These
are but few examples Of the aGdi-
tions to knowledge which the work of
the last fifty years has produced. Not
least in Importance must be reckoned
the development Of II systcn of precise
investigation. which will confer in the
future even greater benefits than those
experienced in the past, and 10 the
pcriccting of which the new president
Of the archaeological Society has con-
spicuously contributed. -LdRcek
