such general attention, it may be inter
esting to note what he says about general
health during the next few years and
the points he makes as basis of his
prophecy.
Cholera, small pox, sunstroke, the grip,
yellow fever, diphtheria and other cpl
demic diseases affecting man, hog cholera,
pinkeye, Texas fever ard other diseases
affecting the lower animals are periodic,
says this student OF the planets. These
diseases are caused by microbes which
are increased ir number by great in
crease in electricity in the atmosphere
brought about by the position of the
planets Jupiter and Saturn. Saturn oc-
cupies six of those positions in twenty
nine and half years, three of which
are easily traced in historical statistics,
and Jupiter occupies four of these
positions in eleven years and eight
months, two of which cause important
epidemics. When Jupiter crosses the
suns equator as the former is going to.
ward perihelion, the greater epldemics
occur, and their periods are nearly twelve
years apart. Midway between these
Jupiter crosses the suns equator as the
former Is going toward apheiion, and
following this event the lesser epidemics
occur, which also have periods of nearly
twelve years.
Taking the records of all nations, Foster
finds that cholera epidemics have &C.
cured in the following years: 1895, 1901,
1907, 1918, 1919, 1925, 1881, 1886, 1912,
1913, 1854, 1860, 1866, 1872, 1877, 1888
and 1889, and these are the years on
which Jupiter crossed the suns equator.
The dates given are the beginnings OF the
epidemics, which usually continue from
one to three years.
The greatest epidemics occur at about
fifty-nine years apart, and that is the Pc
riod at which Jupiter and Saturn occupy
relatively tuo sane poeiliohS, 40 Ill Iha'
time Jupiter makes exactly five revolu-
tons around the sun and Saturn exactly
two revolutions. The man of science con-
cludes this rather startling prophesy with
the significant remark that electricity is
the life principle and when it is rightly
understood by our physicians they will
have better success in prolonging life.

THE LAND COMMISSIONER.
An Interesting Pen Picture by Judge A,
L. Morrison.

To the Editor OF the New Mexican.
SANTA FE, Nov. 20, '9l.-Sir: One OF
the pleasant incidents of my recent visit
to Washington was my interview with the
distinguished commissioner of the gen.
eral land office, the Hon. Thos. III. Car
ter. As had no previous acquaintance
with that gentleman brought friend
to introduce me, but found that formality
unnecessary. On entering Mr.. Carter's
Office we found two gentlemen in CONVEX
sation one of them Immediately came to
me and extending his hand said: "This
is Mr.. Morrison, l think" l replied
You are right, sir, but how did you know
me as have never had the pleasure of
meeting you before?" "Oh," said he, 81
knew you by your picture in the Few
MEXICAN" | took this as quite COM
pliment to our paper, when l knew what
burlesques newspaper pictures usually are.
| never found myself more perfectly at
home with any gentleman than was in
fagh i WESTERN ihan, brght," quick and
extremely courteous. There is none of
the Mugwump about him, as found by
one of his first expressions t. me. After
heartily congratulating me Oh the result
of the Ohio election he said: "You have
made good Use of your vacation" Il
hope so," said |, "some of my brother
officials spent theirs fishing on the Pecos,
hunting in the mountains or luxuriatng
on the Pacific coast, and l knew of no
uh i,.h foI
spending mine in Ohio, campaigning
among the gallant Buckeyes"
You may rely on it that our brave,
self-sacrificing pioneer settlers will be
given every possible facility in perfecting
their patents while Mr.. Carter remains at |
the head of the general land office. The |
exasperating methods of Cleve-
land and Sparks have been relegated to |
the mythical regions of inocuous desue-
tude ever since that genuine American
gentleman and soldier, Gen. j. w. Noble
was appointed secretary of the great de-
partment OF the interior, he has an
able and broad minded lieutenant in Mr..
Garter and am sure voice the senti.

other official in our department when /

gree, net only to us but to every citizen
who transacts business in our offices.

high officials to visit New Mexico and

WHERE, OH WHERE WILL HE BE?

The plan OF the Democratic bosses with
headquarters at Albuquerque is to have
the territory come in state as soon as
possible, and within the next twelve
months, and then to elect their
state ticket and send Hon. An
tonic Joseph and Mr.. William
Burr Chiders to the U. s. senate /;
the NAw MEXICAN has no interest in the
matter except to inquire: where, oh,
where will the gay and festive and coura-
geous Col. Fletcher Blake, that horny
handed son of toll and leader of the White
Caps, be all this time and what will he
be doing? He is not the man to have any

Quotes With Approval the Opinion Of a
Renegade Republican.
AS witnessing the fact that Mr.. De-
Mier is regarded by the press of the terri
tory as the best fitted for the position of
superintendent of the penitentiary Of any
candidate yet mentioned, we cite the
following from the Southwest Sentinel,
journal, while on the wrong side of
the political fence, is still one of much
weight in southern New Mexico: "In
choosing executive officers experience
and fitness should be considered above
any political, fractional or sectional issues.
For this reason John R. DeMier, of Las
Cruces, should be appointed superinten-

ask who those 'other parties" were? 1t

Warden Abraham has been dead long

There are few Republican papers in
New Mexico, or at any rate papers that
call themselves Republican, that would
have more influence and would be much

so much time sneering at and running

fair criticism of any Republican measure
or Republican officials is correct and right

Just Like Some People.

A story comes from across tho water
that young lady in an English church
accidentally let her handkerchief fall.
BY repeatedly STOPPING to reach it
furtively she attracted the notice of n
gentlemen in the pew behind, who
thought she was about to faint. With
the best of motives, therefore, he took
her gently under the arms ana raised
her up, greatly to her surprise. As
she tried to release herself another
gentleman went 10 his assistance, and
before the lady knew what was the
matter they were moving her out into
the aisle, and, indeed carried her into
the vestibule before she could recover
from her establishment sufficiently to
find words for protest. The finale, of
course, was ludicrous in the extreme.
