The Origin of Cancer.

Foreign exchanges of recent date have
contained correspondence between two
French surg VINO entertain the theory
that the use OF pork as food is the origin OF
cancer. Two general facts that are thor
oughly demonstrated are advanced-the
animal origin of a number of diseases and
the harmful. action on man Of some OF the
most ordinary forms Of food taken from
the animal observation-disclosures, caused by
shrinlps, crabs and Holsters, and intestinal
disorders, produced by the use of damaged
meat. 1t should also be mentioned that
the writers Of old times claimed that lep-
rosy was caused by the use Of pork.

One Of the greatest curiOsitieS in the

great iciclcs may be found at any season
Of the year, being especially fine in sum

located is between 200 and 400 feet in
height, it being necessary to climb about
- feet up the side of the bluff to reach
the mouth of the cave The entrance is

Thirty feet from the mouth of thc
cave the passage turns toward the lett
and downward, toward the river bed.
The slope is very gradual, however. aud

THE WEEKLY
FRIDAY. APRIL Il. 1898.


In the census of the city just complet
ed we have a demonstration of the rapid
growth of one of the most remarkable
cities on the American continent
Scarcely eight years have passed since
the first settler built his cabin on the
site where now stands a city of over TO-
600 souls containing all the comforts and
luxuries of modern civilization, and the
comes and workshops of one of the hap
piest and most progressive communities
on the globe.
At the citys gates are some OF the
most extensive coal depositsl IN the world,
while near by are ~inexhaustible mines of
iron, copper, silver, lead, gold and prec-
ious gems, the development of which
has scarcely beon begun. Within the
precincts of the city is the grandest
water power on earth, Il power so admir-
ably situated and distributed that all its
million horse power can he made avail
abe at moderate expense. New enter
prises are coming in 50 "apidly that the
chronicler Of these days will have some
difficulty in Keeping track of them. and
each means a distinct advance in popu-
lation. and new benefits ever extending
for the advantaue of the.entirc city.
Growth of population is not alwa>s an
unmiXed blessing. But in the case Of
Great Falls it is undoubtedly So. There
is not the slightest nccJ nor danger Of
overcrowding. The city may spread out
in every direction and will always have
two magnificent ~rivers-rapid, living
streams-running through the midst of
it, with room still on every side for al
most infinite growth and the surety of
an abundant water supply Of the finest
quality, drainage facilities unsurpassed
and wholesome surroundings for even
the most humble of its people. Besides
all these things every tradesman will lee
able TO secure the use Of electrical power
at a nominal cost, while fuel will be
cheaper, than IN any other city, and the
day is not for distant when all homes
will be lighted and heated by electricity,
and the toll and dust OF coal fires will be
entirely toni away.
No one should be surprised that such
Il city mas rapid growth although it is in
an interior country anu isolated from the
great centcrs of civilization. This iso-
latiOn will be quickly ovcrcome by the
building Of now railroads and the set
Ting Of the surrounding country, which
is now at hand.
The greatest thing about this city's
future is the fact that it will place within
the reach of every MAT the best opportu-
mites for acquiring absolute indcpord-
ence for himself and family.
