Lmdgr, on StriIlr,

Belgium is said to Oc the para
disc of strikers" since, during re.
cent years, there has been scarce.
ly Il month when the Belgian
public has not been following the
details Of some extensive suspCn-
Sivc of labor due to demand for
increased wages.
There have been gIasSWOrkers'
strikes, carpenters strikes, dri-
vcrs'Strikcs,a and dockmens'Strikcs
and when no other Belgian work
men are striking, the miners
are almost sure to bC. The miners
strike has been, indeed, the cause
Of another very remarkable de-
mand for higher wages.
The magistrates of the Courts
of Client, by reason of their con
slant labor in Judging the cases
against striking miners. and the
wear and tear of sending their
strikers to prison, lately came to
feel the need Of relief for their
overCrOwded courts. and Of in.
creased compensation Of their
burdCnSOme labor.
lnaSmUch as the Government
had not seen fit to proceed to it's
own motion to grant the needed
relief, the Judges unanimously
participated in a demand for high
er salaries.
This demand created great
deal of mCrrimCmt among the
Belgian wOrkingmem, who declar-
ed that there was but single step
left open to the magistrates, and
that was to hang up their judicial
gowns and ago into the street.
The Judges, however, were
happily founded too conscious of
the dignity Of their Office to "turn
out" and march about with ban
ners inscribed with such notices
as awe demand juStice,n or "NO
increase, no more sentences of
strikers"
Although the Judges have been
entirely pcaccabIc the miners
have caused it to he announced

Prosperous Denver.

Denvcr's growth is solid and
substantial. No other American
city has enjoyed such a lOngperiOd
Of uninterrupted prosperity, and
certainly no other W GStCTn city has
such a brilliant future before it.
During the past four years, tre-
mendOuS forces have been at work
that have made Denver one of the
NEST conspicuous cities on the
continent. The enormous unde-
VelOpCd resources of the state, the
unlimited field for the profitable
investment Of capital in mining,
irrigation, railroad and manufact-
uring enterprises, together with
COIOTadO'S matChlesS climat is ad.
VantageS over any other place in
the world, have ali contributed to
strengthen and build up Denver
into the chief inland city Of the
United States.
That the real growth Of Denver
has only Just begun, is shown by a
comparison of the realty and,cOm-
merCial business of the first quar-
ter Of 1890 with the like period for
1889. Hartman's review shows
the real estate sales aggregate
5000 ,604; the bank clearings,
$50, 15S,92I.ll, and the building
operations within the city limits
$3,5O9,977, in total of 1917 build
ngS. Over the same period of
one year ago the real estate tran
sactiOns is 90 per cent, and in
building operations there were
only 800 buildings, costing $1,613,
600.
While the building Octivity is
thegreatCst ever known, there is
steady advance in rents in all
directions, and indeed the builders
can scarcely accommodate the
great influx of population, which
is placed by close observers at
from $500 to 5000 people month.
For the week just closed, the
realty sales foot up the great sum
of 3, 32O,OSl, an increase over one
year ago of S3.2 per cent, while
the bank Clearings aggregate the
unprecedented figure of 1884,
369.17, gain of 76.S per cent over
the corresponding week of last
year.-Denver Republican.

CANCER And ITS CAUSE.
Is II a MiGrOhian Disease or a Gel
IuIar Growth?
Views Of a Paris EXpCrt-FCaSi-
biIity or inOCulating Can
Ger May Yet BE
Demonstrated,

The readers of the Herald may
perhaps remember that in one Of
my weekly articles, published
few months ago, | discussed the
possibility of cancer being con-
tagiOus disease. Without commit
ting myself to any positive as
sertion, l said that | thought that
recent discoveries seemed to in
dictate that cancer, like tuDerculo-
sis, had a micrObian origin.
Mr.. Inglis Parson, physician to
Chelsea Hospital, is particularly
energetic opponent of the theory
of a micrObian origin of cancer.
In his opinion all the cells of our
organism possess, but in the latent
form, the power of multiplying
their number in any abnormal
way, and of producing unshapely

treating this dISheartenlng
disease depends on it's solution,
that / thought it would interest
the readers Of the Herald to
know what is thought of it by one
of the most distinguished histOIO-
giSts of Paris, DR.. Brault, Chef de
Labaratoire a la Faculte de Paris,
medecin DIES hOspitauX, and | give
below the memorandum which
DR.. Brault has drawn up for me
on the subject in reply to my re
quest.
NJ. Brault's ideas are very sug-
gestive and come from a man
whose competence in such matters
is considerable. If the writer
gives no definite conclusions, or
rather if he ends his article with
out any practicle deductions, at
least he emits the ingenious theory
that cancerOus cells may take the
part of microbes and that the de-
fensive reaction which takes place
in viscera invaded by them may
be directed against these cancer
GUS cells.
Consequently, the adversaries
of the micrObian theory of cancer,
whatever may be the hypothesis
they uphold, seem to fOresee a
means of our protecting ourselves
against this disease. According
to this idea, after a long period of
despair and abandon, we are now
about to enter into a new phase
that of hope.
THE ORIGIN AND CONTAGIOUS Ma
TURE OF THE SANGER.
There is at the present moment
a tendency to believe that tumOrs,
and particularly those which are
termed cancers, are caused by
some parasitic action similar to
that observed in the various in
fictitious diseases. On what basis

Killed by Cigarettes.

Samuel Kimball, a lG.year.Old
member of the choir of st. Mary's
Church, Brooklyn, died on Friday
last at st. Johns Hospital from
what appeared to be cigarette
poison. The boy was a constant
smoker, and when brought to the
hospital from his home was suf-
fcring from a drOpsical condition
of the legs and weak condition of
the heart. The hospital doctors
said that his system had been so
thoroughly impregnanted with
nicotine that the heart was unable
to perform its proper functions.
