DISEASE OF OCCUPATION.
Medical Men Have Discovered tho Ex-
sstence of the Golf Arm.

sstence OF the tu1t arm
Medical authorities have decided that
golf arm" is disease likely to come
upon a golf player at any moment.
Whether the experienced player or the
rank amateur is the most likely to
come under its influence has not been
decided. The one thing that all agree
in. is that the disease is a reality, and
enc that is not to be lightly con-
sidered. One may be afflicted by
the disease without knowing that
it exists, and, though temporary re-
lief may have been had, 1t is question
yet to be determined whether inn
proper treatment of what may be
thought to be merely a sprain will not
render player a chronic sufferer from
the new disease.
Golf arm is an affection of the
musculo-spiral nerve, the functions of
which are interfered with under
certain conditions which have been
found to occur more frequently in the
playing of golf than in any other game
of physical eXertion. The attention of
physicians was first called to the new
diesase by the complaints of profession
al golf players. These players told of
acute pains along the upper part of the
arm. Similar pains had often been
noticed, but were thought to be the
natural result of unusual exercise.
Members of the British Medical So
ciety first called attention to it, with
the result that a series of experiments
was begun on the golf links and carried
on to a considerable extent. The arms
of scores of golf players under various
conditions were examined and the re-
suits of these examinations were care
fully compared. The disease is an in
terruption of the direct current of the
musculo-spiral nerve, which is brought
under conditions where it really works
against itself. and in doing so is urged
to greater limits than nature intended
1t should, thus producing pain. The
styles of play most likely to produce
golf arm" have been found to be the
vigorous pressing and forcing which,
when employed, often produces pain
full sensation more quickly than any
other action in the game.
While American physicians have not
carried on plan of Investigation and
experiment they have taken an interest
in the new disease. The main idea that
has been developed in America is that
golf arm" is more liable to attack an
experienced than an inexperienced
player. Pains in the arm of the begin
ner Mt golf come, it is believed, merely
from the unusual exercise. But when
the pains strike the old timer it is more
serious. Just what the remedy will be
for the new disease has not yet been de-
termined. The idea seems to be that
the medical authorities will soon be
nble to fix on which of the golf strokes
interfere most directly on the spiral
nerve, and will suggest the elimination
Of such hurtful strokes from the game.

FIRES IN GREAT FORESTS.
Preventive Work Accomplished by the
Fire Wardens of Minnesota.

| Fire WardenS OF Minnesota.
The first report of the chief fire war
den of Minnesota, an officer appointed
under an act passed last year, has been
published, and contains many state
ments of interest. As part of the pre-
stationary measures adopted, about
$4,000 plaeards, warning against kind
ling fires in forest or prairie were dis
tributed Twenty-seven fires in forest
regions, including those in brush land
and marshes, are reported. They
burned over an aggregate area OF s,265
acres, and did damage to the amount OF
1925. The wet weather of last year
greatly reduced the losses. In the prai-
RE region of the western side of the
state, dry, windy conditions were con-
ducive to the spreading of fire, during
the period from August to November,
and 105 field and prairie fires occurred;
burning over about $4,000 acres, and
causing damage of $34,277. In the
same territory in 1894 about 100000
acres were burned over. The local war
dens controlled and eXtinguished many
| fires. The state warden has consulted
manufacturers of locomotives in the
United States and England with ref
erence to the best spark arrester. 1t
| is learned that no such device is wholly
efficient, as fine sparks are always like
ly to escape. 1t is of prime Importance
that all such devices should be kept in
good condition.
The warden says that the 1000 Chip
pewa Indians who are scattered
| throughout Minnesota forests, are more
careful about eXtinguishing their for
est fires than white people. The great
er number of fires are caused by loco
motive sparks, but the careless farmer,
burning over fields before blowing, and
thrashing machines are also a great
source of danger. 1t is the business OF
the wardens to prevent as we'll as to
extinguish fires. The dissemination
OF forestry sentiment is regarded as
an excellent method of helping on the
work In the forest region of Mime
sofa the government still holds over
100000 acres of public land. These
are continually visited by home seek.
ers, timber "cruisers" and hunters. The
warden remarks that when people be-
come educated as to the true economic
value of forests and to n comprehen-
| sion of the danger and damage from
forest fires, every nun and boy who
frequents the woods will be voluntary
Waterman to guard against such fires"
About $4,000 workmen are employed
in the logging industry of Minnesota.
It is estimated that the total amount
of white pine standing is 14,424,ooo,ooo
feet, and of red or Norway pine, 3,412,-
ATS, 900 feet. In % counties there are
10,SS9,0 acres of natural forest, and
in the whole state there are 11,S90,00o
acres of natural forest, not including
mere brush and swamp land. The an
nual cut of pine for each of the past
three years is estimated at 100000
feet. The consumption of mercantile
hard wood lumber in Minnesota is esti
mated at 100,000,000 annually.
The report points out the economic
and hygienic Importance of perpetual
| ing the forests.-lndianap News.

WILL NOT SUBMIT DlCTATIOk
Privileges of the Bank of France Which
Are jealousy Guarded.

Are jealousy Guarded.
The subject of renewing the privi-
leges of the Bank of France will short
ly come up for discussion in the cham
Der, after having been in allegiance
since 1892, when the senate approved
a bill for the purpose.
The bill has not since been modified
and the provisions included in it will,
1t is thought, be adopted without ma
terial alteration. One of them, which
was to empower the bank to increase
its note issue from $500, 900, 900 francs
to 100000, 900, was passed as far back
as 1898. The charter expires on De-
cember 81, 1897, and the proposal is to
extend it for period of 20 years from
that date in consideration of the bank
making certain concessions to the
state.
Among these concessions is one by
which the bank is to forego all future
interest on the government debt, 140,-
100000 francs, and not to demand re-
payment of the capital so long as the
charter is in force. The bank is to un-
dertake the service of the national debt
and transact other business for the
treasury, both at the head Office and
branches, free of charge, and make an
annual payment to the latter of 2,000,-
600 francs during the first year of the
currency of the new charter and $780,
600 francs per annum subsequently.
1t is to open several new branches and
make advances to agricultural cooper
ative societies.
1t is not improbable that an effort
will be made to convert the bank into
state institution, but such project
does not command support either in
financial or ministerial circles. and is
not in the least degree likely to meet
with success.-Edinburgh Scotsman.
