PROF. KoCH's experiments with bac-
THEOLOGICAL remedies for consumption,
it is said, have almost reached a point
where he can make definite claim of
results which were prematurely assert
ed three years ago. Prof. Scaglione, of
Paris, quotes DIR. Koch as saying that
the liquid which he has produced in his
laboratory shows marvellous efficacy in
overcoming tuberculosis. He admins
ters the remedy by inhalation. not by
injection, as in the case of the lymph,
which gave him world wide fame a few
years ago.

ARlsTocRATIc BUT POOR.

How Lots OF Men Envied for Their Swell
ness Have to Economic.
A popular young fellow was heard by
representative of the New York Trib-
une to discuss the other day the way in
which so many idle society men con-
trive to exist upon very limited in
comes. ''If you wear decently good
clothes, belong to at least one good
club, and are in the SWIM" he said,
mo one asks about you further; and if
you have inexpensive tastes you can
economic in a thousand ways. In the
first place, if a man is fairly popular, he
is always in demand for dinners and
during the seasons he can dine out
every evening if he desires to do so,
prompt after-dinner call and little at
tention at the opera or ball being all

pect or care to receive.

replied, there are fewer than for those
who are out of it.
people are only too glad to get us
to fill up their parties of various kinds,
and there is no question of an obliga-
ton; besides, there are so many society
men that are obliged perforce to live
economically that they constitute set
in themselves, and consequently there
is no standard of high expenditure
among them. Contrary to the accepted
idea, the majority of men you meet
about live exceedingly frugal and
simple lives, and it would surprise many

'swells' must necessarily be rich, if he

WHITE WINGS NO MORE.

Prospect of RIdiug from Cape Horn to
Cape Town by Continuous RAN.
Tt adds something to the zest of life
If one has healthy and active fancy
to reflect that there are people now
living who may travel by continuous
rail from Cape Horn to the Cape of
Good Hope. The plan of a ''pan-Amer-
icann railway to connect the South
American systems. through Central
America, with the systems of Mexico
and the United States, is already well
advanced. There are, says the Review
of Reviews, to be roads from the Cana
dian Pacific away up to the Peace river
and Mackenzie valleys, and it is not
yery hard to believe that these may
ultimately be extended across the
Rockies to the Ukon valley in Alaska,
and continued finally to the narrow and
shallow Behring straits, across which
connection would be made with the
Siberian road. Continuous rail travel
from Siberia to Constantinople will
soon have become an accomplished fact,
and the link from Constantinople to
Egypt may be expected quite conf

have superseded steam; so that the Cali
fornians and Puget sound denizens
would naturally go to London by fast
Alaskan and Siberian express. If they
chose they might return by steamship,
making the passage in two or three
DAYS from the west coast of Ireland to
Labrador or Halifax. In view Of all
that has been done in the past twenty
five years such further development of
travelling facilities is easily within the
realm of sober prediction,
a ROUTED HAWK.
How Eight Crows Forced the Bird Of Prey
to Release q Chicken.
A white-feathered chicken in search
of worms strayed from the yard of a
Feeding Hills farmer on a recent after
noon and was soon scratching merrily in
the black loan Of a swamp near by, says
the Springfield Mass. Republican. A big
hen hawk that was sailing lazily along
far up in the sky tipped an eye down
ward and saw the little white chick.
The hawk had had no dinner and was
very hungry. The big, hungry hawk
suddenly shot down like stone and be-

was in the hawks cruel claws The
farmer was cutting cornstalks in
wagon near the barn and did not see
the hawk with Tapping wings rise into
the air, clutching tight the little white
chick frightened and still. But perched
upon some trees the other side of the
swamp were eight black crows. They
had seen it all. Putting their heads
together these crows consulted hur-
riedly, and then with loud, defiant
chorus of ''caw, cav, caw," they took
wing. The bird Of prey had not risen
fifty feet into the air before the crows
had completely surrounded him. They
pecked at him above, below, in front
and behind. They would rise many
feet above and shoot downward one
after the other at the hawk with the
swiftness and celebrity Of swallows.
The hawk, burdened with the breath
less chick, could not endure the savage
onset and soon sunk among the trees.
But the crows, crying ''caw, cav"
more defiantly than before, beat upon
him STILL and at last the hawk dropped
the chick and angrily dashed upward
again. For minutes the battle ragged
over the tree tops. The hawk was fierce
in his defense, but the crows, using the
same tactics as before, gradually
drove him higher and higher still, until
finally discounted and thoroughly beat

across sandy desert. With provisions,
artists equipment and a hunting outfit
they started from Fresno on July 20. Until
uneventful. but as they approached the
canyon their troubles began.
Bull declares that the only sensible way
to enter the steep and difficult valley is by
means of a balloon. In crossing a deep
gorge at one point fallen tree furnishes
attempted to ride, and when their horses
refused the dangerous passage the riders
GlSmounied and cO2Xed the more prudp nj
animals along the log lying above the
rocky depths. The young men finally en-
tered the gorge amid general rejoicing,
and fordiDg the river reached a narrow
strip Of land. There they camped and be.
gan their sketches.
Danger suddenly appeared from an IN
expected source. The intensely hot
weather had melted the snow in the noun
tains. and in night the river, which had
been forded with comparative ease be came
transformed into raging torrent. On the
other side OF their camping ground was a
preciptous cliff 1000 feet high. To recross
the river was impossible. There was no
alternative but to await the subsistence of
the waters.
Nothing daunted they painted the river
IN oils, pencil sketches not proving wash

their canvas, and continued happy until
their provisions gave ont. After fort
nights experience in fighting the grizzlies,
with which the canyon abounds, they held
a council of war
1t was decided that they should attempt
to climb the cliff and walk back for assist
aDee. They drew lots and Winchell was
selected for the task. LaborIousIy he
assembled the almost perpendicular rock
and finally reached the summit Then be
tramped across the desert to Fresno, 1OC
miles.
Starting back with provisions he reached
the camping ground and found that the
river had returned to its normal condition.
In the meantime. however, the bears had
devoured three of the horses.
In sklrtiDg dangerous cliff one of the
horses used TO carry the pack lost his
footing and fell over the edge and down
into the gorge. This reduced the number
OF horses to one. so Bull volunteered to re-
main in the canyon.
The others returned to Fresno, procured
another horse and again one of the num-
Der headed for Kings River. Bull was
found cheerfully working at his easel and
rather 10th to leave. He was with some
difficulty drawn away from his fascinating
work, and was borne in triumph TO
Fresno, where he arrived few days ago
His art treasures were wet many times in
fording the river. but the oils preserved
their beauty.

The action of the San Francisco and San

that the electric road was controlled by the
