ment Of normal cells under abnormal con-
ditions. A surface cancer is produced by
the wandering of such cells from the skin
into the tissues beneath, where they grow
and make mischief. This may be a conse-
quence of Inflammation. 1t is the same way
with an internal cancer, cells wandering
into gland from the membrane which ell
yelops 1t. They develop in the organ and
eventually destroy its usefulness So far
as we can tell there is no cancer germ. The
only cure is the knife, and that must be
used quickly.
I'VE may hope much from the discovery
Of the microbe of smallpox. Though kept
down by vaccination, that disease is al
ways present in every country, ready to
assume the proportions of a pestilence at
any time when conditions may be favor
able. During the Middle Ages it took
100000 lives in Europe annually, and in
one year 1000, 900 people in Russia died of
It. In 1927 it caused 100000 deaths in
Mexico. Already the specific bacterium OF
vaccine or cowpox has been discovered,
ard before long pure cultures of 1t will be
used instead of vaccine obtained from
cows. which Is only too likely to contain
germs Of tuberculosis. 1t will be easy to
propagate the cowpoX microbes on gela-
tine and to put them up in a solution for
use by physicians. The artificial prepara-
ton will be more sure in its effects than
natural vaccine, which SO commonly falls

almost say. In the departments of San
lander and Boyaca one person in ten is
afflicted, and in that section of the coun-
try alone there are 100000 victims. This
estimate may be exaggerated. But the
most destructive of all diseases is con-
sumption of the lungs, which causes 100,
O0O deaths in the United States annually,
and in Europe 1000, 600 deaths Ter annum.
1t Is communicated to human beings large

infected with it to great extent. The

Malaria but for quinne would cause great

Cross Roads.
Together we have walked SO long, dear heart,
Down LIES broad highway wandered hand In
hand,
But now, at last at the crossroads stand,
And evermore ways must be apart.
So long together, Whecc The road sweet
With song Of birds and perfume laden air,
We paused to rest by waters cool and fair
And gathered flowers that blossomed ut feet.
And We have walked in when the sky
Was dim and chill with clouds of sullen hue,
When earth dark and winds in anger blew,
Have braved the storm together, you and l.
And ever. though the day dark light,
found my sunshine in thy loving eyes,
And cared not for the clear cloudy skies
Whilst could read the peace within theI light.
Dear heart, thy way. though weary, still is best;
For clear and true it leads to Heavens gate,
Where, for thy coming Gods loved angels wait,
And thou hast chosen it from all the rest.
IT'S hard, God knows, to say farewell. dear heart,
For BOW my path will sad and lonely be.
/ cannot travel thine, for uEto
Another hath been given, far apart.
Yes, will miss the comfort of thy smile,
The touch of thy dear hand upon mine own
Thy voices music, familiar grown
And must leave them all so LON, awhile.
Dear art, farewell, May angels guard thy way
Upon our PATHS. God grant His blessings sweet
TIL LIES long journey ended. we shall meet
In joy at last, for all eternity.

OUR WHEELS IN EUROPE,
Anne fc:sn Bicycles Lighter and More
Graceful Than European.

American Bicycles Lighter and More
Graceful Than European.
From the San Francisco Examiner
a gentleman recently returned from Eu-
rope where he has been touring on a wheel
says the American bicycles taken over by
his party surprised those who saw them.
The bicycles belonging to his party each
weighed well under twenty-five pounds, the
lightest scaling eighteen. In England the
highest racing wheels were found 10 weigh
twenty-five pounds, and some ran up to
twenty-five, while the average road wheels
weighed not less than thirty pounds. And
in many of the English catalogues notice is
given purchasers that racing machines are
used on the road at the owners risk. In
France manufacture is even behind that of
England, the wheels being still heavier and
less graceful. When the Frenchmen of the
Bots de Boiogne saw the American ma
chimes they at once noted the shapely
American lines. and without delay applied
the test wheelmen of every corner of the
earth are so used to trying-they lifted the
wheel to learn its weight. At once the DIFF
ference in weight between the French and
the American bicycle was admitted, but the
opinion prevailed that the American whael
was not intended for use When It's owner
mounted and rode away they We're given an
object lesson which they will not soon for
get.
There is ore complaint of the cyclers in
Europe which is unknown in this country
and that is side slips caused by the
moisture i'll the atmosphere, giving the Eur-
face of the roads and pavements a thin
coating of mud at all seasons. In Lonlon
the wooden block pavements exude mois-
ture which makes riding difficult and in
crowded thoroughfares dangerous. Many
devices have been invented in the effort to
overcome this, some consisting of deep cor
rugations IN the tires others of diamond
shaped patches. which are supposed to give
q hold on the pavement: but none of them
has entirely cured the difficulty.

Electric Power for Cable Reads.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The Chicago City Railway Company is
now using all electric motor to drive the
two lengths of it's cable on State street
south of 39th street. The company has
been engaged for the last two months in
enlarging it's plant at sd street, so that
it might have sufficient electric power to
drive its cables, being apparently the first
instance of a surface cable street rail-
way operated ty electricity. 700 horse
pow er Westinghouse motor is employed in
the power house to operate about three
miles of double-track road, and is said to
have given good satisfaction thus far. 1t
has been found that to run the cable motor
REQUIRES no increase of the pay roll, and
that the only loss is due to an increase in
the cost of fuel per horsepower delivered
to the cable. Against this, however, is a
saving due to the closing down of the boil
ers and engines in the cable plant. Contrary
to the general belief the amnleter shows a
greater variation in the power required to
pull the cable than is noticed in the opera
ton of a trolley road using the same
amount of power, although not such VIC
lent fluctuations as on very small electric
roads 1t is said that the a1nnetcr will
often indicate rise or fall of 800 amperes
in twenty seconds.

pwHE M1cRoBE OF
The Canton times. (Canton, Miss.) 1893-1906, 1895-02-08
What Darwin Overlooked.

Held to be Factor OF the
Evolution of Plant Life.
Some objection has been made, and
with some weight. that the
modern doctrine of the evolution OF
plants, based on selfishness, is not by
any means the rule prevailing in vege-
tation-fowers, as well as members of
the animal world, seem to be governed
in quite as great a part by self-sacri-
fee as by selfishness, says Meehans
Monthly. Though the struggle for
life, as it is called, and the survival
of the fittest" must have something to
do with this evolution of form, and
must be necessary to the existence of
plants individually, yet it is evidently
not so to all. In human nature sell
fishness is trait which cannot be left
uncultivated. At the same time a
large part Of human nature finds just
as much pleasure in little deeds which
must come under the class of self-sac-
rifice as in the pursuit of anything
that may have relation to the struggle
for existence. AS an illustration of
this point in plants, the production of
turpentine by the Southern pine trees
comes in. If the pine trees are left
alone the production of turpentine is
comparatively small, but when tapped
and made to produce the turpentine
for the benefit of man it goes on pro-
duciug without the tree in the least
suffering. The annual product OF
turpentine by the Southern pine trees
is some sIO,OOO,OO0. which it seems to
hand over to the uses of man without
the slightest injury to itself In no
way can it be shown that the produe-
ton of turpentine is benefit to the
pine tree.
