Causes of Cancer.


DIR. Mackenzie in his little book
about the crown prince and his treat
ment has q few pertinent words about
the causes of cancer. He says:
There can be no question that the
determining cause of its appearance is
in many cases an injury, such as q
blow, or a condition resulting from an
injury, such as a scar, or the persist
ent application to particular spot of
something that keeps the tissue in
famed and angry, such as a jagged
tooth which chafes the tongue. Work
ers in paratfine and petroleum are pc
culiarly liable to cancer of the parts
which are habitually exposed to the
action Of these substances. 1t is we'll
known that a particular form of cancer
which formerly was common enough
in England is now almost extinct,
simply owing to the fact that the cause
which produced it has ceased to exist
When SCOT commanded o good price it
had to be sifted. This operation ma
turally involved much of friction
against the skin, whereby irritating
particles were rubbed into it, and
chimney sweeps cancer was q fire.
quent result. Nowadays it does not
pay to sift the SCOT, and the disease to
which it gave rise has disappeared.
Among the causes of local irrita-
ton heat is certainly one of the most
active. BY far the most common seat
of the malignant disease in men is the
mouth, which is more exposed than
any other part of the body to irritation
by hot substances. Every surgeon is
familiar with this fact Whether it be
a lower lip, on which the hot stem of
a clay pipe or the smoldering paper of
a cigarette has rested day after day, or
a tongue exasperated by the frequent
contact of acrid tobacco smoke or the
mouthpiece of foul pipe, or made
raw by ardent liquors, or stung and
blistered by fiery condiments, the cause
is essentially the same-viz., the scar
ing of the superficial covering by pro-
longed heat. In some places, where
hot brasiers are often applied to the
abdomen and thigh, cancer of these
parts is not uncommon, though all but
unknown in either of these situations
elsewhere. IN. L. Holbrook, NJ. D.,

The inventor of the pot hook puzzle,
which the street 'fakirs" arc selling
everywhere now, is John Dempsey. an
Atlantic City house painter. He tells
his story of how he discovered that
the diabolical double and twisted bits
OF copper wire would make q puzzle
for the amusement of the populace
1--WE use that sort of a hook, double
one, to hang our paint pots on when
we are painting from a ladder. One
day IN putting my hooks into bag to
carry them home q couple of them got
caught. Well, as they were of no use
to me unless could separate them,
sat down and worked to get them
apart l must have spent half an
hour twisting and turning the hooks
and Juggling and pulling, when sud
denly, without any effort, they un-
tangled themselves. This seemed so
strange to me that / tried to put them
together and succeeded. | then
showed the trick to some friends of
mine at Atlantic City, where | live.
About three months after that | was
doing some work at the Brighton, and
at noon | showed this trick TO fellow
while one Of tho guests was looking
over my shoulder. Well, what does
this guest do but pack his trunk, take
the next train for New York, and now
they are turning them out ct the rate
Of 70, 000 minute, and / never made
a cent out of it" The device has
almost maddened persons who have
sought to take tho two hooks apart,
but Dempsey is madden than any of
them.-New York Graphic.

notable appeal was connected with his
voluntary appearance before the jury

The Growth of Children.

The rule of growth is that chile
should increase two pounds in weight
for every inch in height between three
and four feet, and two and a hall
pounds for every inch between -four
and five feet. A remarkable fact is
that the boys at the public schools anC
young men at the universities, anc
entering the public service, here called
the upper classes, average about three
inches taller, and from six pounds tc
twenty pounds heavier, than boys in
the board schools and young appren
tees and workmen. Two causes may
be assigned for this; first, heredity
and secondly, favorable surroundings.
Deficient and improper food, town air,
laborious work at early ages, all stunt
the growth. Every one knows how a
change from close town to free coun.
try life, with plenty of exercise, stimu.
lates growth. A good rule for pre-.

be in the hospitals, but they pre-

get out into the world of

TIE NAME "AMERICA."
Further Evidence by vi. Jules MarcOI
that H Is n Native Word

that AZ Is Native Word
The bulletin of the Paris Geographi.
cal society contains an account by M.
Jules Maroon of certain further re-
searches which he has made into the
origin of the name America. AS
far back as 1875 he published a paper
on the same topic which attracted
much attention at the time, and he
has since devoted much labor to an
investigation of early historical docu
nents III which the New World is
named.
The popular notion that America
was SO called from the Christian name
of Amerigo Vespucci is, he saws,
wholly unfounded, and he sums up
his conclusions in this way: /. Ameri-
que is the Indian name of the noun
tains between Juigalpa and Libertad,
in the province of Chontales, which
separate Lake Nicaragua from the
Mosquito coast The word in the
Maya language signifies "the windy
country, F." or 1.-The country where the
wind blows always" 9. The Chris
tan name of Vespucci was Alberico in
Italian and Spanish, Albericus in
Latin. 8. This particular name is
subject to an enormous number of
variations, as the nomenclature and
calendars of Italian and Spanish
saints of the period show; but no
where is there any such variation as
Americas, Amerrigo, Amerigo, AL
merigo, ETC., and none of these is
either a diminutive or a variation in
use in Italy, Spain or France for Al
berico or Albert. /. before 1907,
when Jean Basin of Saint Die publish
ed the name it is not to be found in
any printed document, nor even in
any manuscript of recognized and in
cOntestablc authority.
M. Maroon claims that his theory of
a native origin for the name America
has been accepted in Spain, Spanish
America, and, with some exceptions,
in the United States; in France, Ger
many, and Italy it has excited doubt
and surprise, but in the last named he
has the support of the eminent Turin
geographer, M. Guido Cora. There is
no doubt that Columbus and Vespucci
went along the Musquito coast at the
foot of the Sierra Amerrique, and that
the name was reported by the officers
and men of these expeditions, and
Schooner, tho geographcr, declared in
1916 that the name was already popu-
lar in Europe.
1t is beyond question that one edition
of Vespucci's letter on his third voy-
age has the name Amcrigo in the
place of the Christian name; nineteen
editions had Albericus, and sub
sequent Italian editions had Alberico.
The one with Amerigo on the title
page was published in 1906, but M.
Maroon suggests that this was never
intended to be variation Of Alberico,
but rather the adaptation of Amer
rique, namo already known and APP
piled to the New World, to Vespuccis
namo to distinguish him, as we say now
Chinese Gordon, to distinguish the
particular Gordon by suggesting one
of his greatest feats. The paper, which
is very learned concerning the geogra-
ply and geographical publications OF
tho Sixteenth century, is not yet con-
cluded.-London Times.

A correspondent of tho Northwest
ern railroad advances a curious theory
for the increasing prevalence Of floods
and rain storms. He says that there
are over 80, 900 locomotives in use in
North America, and estimates that from
them alone over $1,000, 200 cubic
yards Of vapor are sent into the atmos-
phero every week, to be returned in
the form of rain, or over 1000, 600, 600
cubic yards a day-"quito enough, +"
he says, "to produce good rainfall"
every twcnty-four hours. Estimating
tho number of other non-condensing
engines in uso as eight times the num-
Der of locomotives, the total vapor
thus projected into the air every week
in this country amounts to 100000,
100000 cubic yards. Is this not" he
asks, Sufficient for the floods of ter
ror9 Is there any reason to wonder
why our storms are so damagingf"-

It is human muscle that cultiyates

of japanese country scenes, and an
American pillow, which | saw in .

osity. fit is used at all, twill proba-
bly, be pulled by men. AS it is, the
land is made fallow with a sort of mat
took, which is heavy, and which has
a blade about six inches wide and two
feet long. The rice fields of Japan are
living monuments of human labor
and every grain of rice you eat repre-
sents a certain amount of human mus
Gle. The fields must be flooded again
and again with water, and the plants
are transplanted from their first
growth into rows. | have seen men
and women by scores bending their
backs and hoeing this rice, and am
told that their wages run from 10 to
20 cents day,
Human muscle carries nearly all
the burdens of Japan. Brown skin
ned, slant eyed men and women, with
baskets containing several bushels
euch upon their backs, pass by my
window as I write, and others follow
with great loads balanced across their
shoulders on long poles. -year-old
boys carry two four gallon buckets of
water in this way, and loads of heavy
merchandise are pushed along the road
in carts. Two or three men are har-
messed up in front. Several push be-
hind with both head and hands. Their
muscles stand out like whipcords as
they work. The sweat rolls down
their brown skin in streams, and their
