DANGER IN SMOKING.
1t Causes Cancer of the Lips and
Other Serious Ailments.

1t Causes Cancer of the Lips and
Other Serious Ailments.
While many surgeons deny the exist
enee of smokers cancer" others indi-
cate tobacco as the cause of cancer of
the lips and nasal fossae. The disease
from this cause is said to be lobulated
epithelioma, sometimes composed OF
mucous and sonnet times of horny tissue.
It shows particularly among smokers
who pay no attention to the cleaning
of the mouth, who smoke short clay
pipes to the bottom and who use an
inferior quality of tobacco. The under
lip or part of the tongue most in contact
with the overheated stem of the pipe
is most frequently attacked. These
neoplasms grow in the base of the
tongue and on the tonsils of those who
have lost their teeth and who hold the
pipe deep in the mouth. The weight
of the pipe is a source of irritation, and
the cancer is found on the side where
the pipe is held. Contagion from two
men using the same pipe may result.
When an early operation is performed
on cancroids situated on the lip ths
prognosis may be favorable, but the
reverse is the case when the tonsils or
tongue is attacked. Smokers should
use a pipe with an amber mouthpiece,
and it should never be smoked to the
bottom. Acrid tobacco should be
avoided.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

POPULAR SCIENCE.
NEW suNsIRokE THEORY.
1t II the Result of Years of study and
Experiment.

At II the Result OF 1eurs OF study ana
Experiment.
A new theory has been advanced by
DIR. Ira Van Gieson, director of the New
York Pathological institute, in ex-
PLANTATION of sunstroke. The discovery
is the result of years of investigation
and experiment. The doctor believes
that death in cases of sunstroke does
not result from overheating of the
blood, but that the suns rays destroy
certain nerve cells and generate an
"auto-toxic" poison, which resembles
the venom of rattlesnake in its eff
fects. The purple, swollen face of a
victim of sunstroke, the enfeebled heart
action, an occurrence of death within
An hour or two, convince him that lit

straightforward example of an acute,
virulent poison, originating within the
body, which acts most rapidly and vio-
lently upon the nervous system" 1t
first strikes the ganglion cells which
operate the heart. Degeneration then
progresses with lightning speed. When
the poison attacks the brain the cortical
cells are destroyed. If the sufferer in
such an instance should not die his mind
is generally more or less affected. 1t is
said that only slight change is nee
,essary to transform the fluids and It's
sues of the body from the useful to the
injurious, and slight failure of the
liver or kidneys to act properly pro-
duces conditions favorable to forma-
ton of poison. Sometimes the nerve
cells are only partially destroyed and
nature rebuilds them, but they are
never in quite the same condition as at
first, and if the processes necessary
ito eliminate the poison from the sys-
ITEM are checked, death or insanity is
Apt to result.

ACTION OF The WAVES.
New System Utflixes 1t for the Pro-
pulsion of Boats.

pulstOn of Boats.
Anew motive power for driving boat
has been put into use by Secretary Lin
den, of the geological garden at Naples.
To the observer the little craft is
mystery. Neither sail, oar, engine nor
smokestack are visible. A man sits
calmly at the rudder and steers the
boat wherever he wills.
All the more remarkable is the mo-
ton because it is the result of no power
in the boat but rather of the movements
of the waves themselves, and the higher
the waves the more rapid is the boat.
Secretary Linden was led to adopt
this method of propulsion from OBJ
serving the movements of fishes at the
aquarium. The tail motion in particu-
lar attracted his attention. After many
years of experiment he has adopted a
plan of extreme simplicity. From
either end of the boat steel rod ex-
tends down into the water. At their
lower ends are attached horizontal fms
of flexible steel plate.
Every movement of the waves causes
these plates to vibrate up and down in

THoRouohBRED HOGS.
why They Should He Given . Place on
Every Farm.

-
Every Farm.
At an Iowa farmers institute in re-
ply to the question: Would you have
thoroughbred herd of hogs on every
farm? a prominent hog-raiser said:
If my plan could prevail 1 would
have nothing but pure bred hogs In
this country. I do not mean by that
that every herd should be registered.
That would be an expensive useless
ness. but 1 do mean that all stock
should be tracearble to recorded ances-
try. Then let the registered herds be
kept up to the highest standard Of ex-
cellence to supply male head for each
of these pork herds. The professional
breeder would then do a fourishing
business and the farmer would not be
looking around for the best hog In
Christendom for ten dollars. He would
demand something better than that
and would be reaping the profit which
he justly deserves from feeding his
farm produce to class of hogs that
would net a snug profit and command
a premium on any market, whether
high or low, and at the same time have
bunch of hogs that he could take
infinite satisfaction in hanging on
the fence" to look at and to show his
neighbor because they always call
forth favorable comment and admira-
ton, which would be an incentive for
something little better if possible for
the next crop. / say that until the thor
oughbred hog shall be given place on
every farm his true mission is not full
filed, and further that the mission OF
the professional breeder if he be honest
and unselfish and sees the whole thor
oughbred scheme in it's proper light is
not fulfilled until such is the case. If
every farmer could see this plan from
the proper standpoint and could COM
prehend the advantages accruing from
its contamination three years at most
would accomplish the work. But
though firm in the faith as i am have
grave Doubts if it is ever accomplished.
There is too great diversity in human
nature, too wide a range of disposition,
too many scrub men, too much differ
ence, to ever expect to see all the farm
ers stand on level in any branch of
industry. However, the cause is adj
vancing, and one fact Is well estab-
lished, that when a man once gets q
taste of thoroughbred blood, like the
bulldog, he never let's loose except to
get better hold.

Level CaIture of Potatoes.

Almost all practical growers now
agree that the level culture of potatoes
brings the largest crop. This is espe-
cially true if the season be dry, as OF
late years it almost always is. If the
ground is cultivated often enough no
weeds can appear above the surface.
That will make it easy to keep the crop
free of weeds without ever needing TO
cultivate more than an inch below the
surface. This is the best way to sub
due the perennial weeds, quack grass
and Canada thistles, as well as tie an
nuaI weeds.

CuItivatins After Rains.

Much the best time to cultivate ia aft
er a rainfall which has packed the
surface soil, provided time enough has
elapsed for the surface to dry. Heavy
soils are rich in mineral plant food, and
this as the water evaporates is left on
the surface as crust which effectually
excludes light and air. When this crust
is turned under it is dissolved by the
moisture and makes a rich food for
plants. Besides, the cultivation opens
the soil to receive air, thus drying the
soil and turning the air itself into
moisture. This enormously increases
available plant food in the soil. Be
sides, the loose soil on the surface which
the cultivator leaves prevents too rapid
evaporation, and thus makes the soil
both warmer and moister than it would
be if uncultiyated.

Field Mice Transmit Pollen.

1t has long been known that the min
istrations of insects are indispensable
to the fertilization of some flowers, by
rubbing pollen from the anthers in one
place and carrying it to the pistil in an
other. Now we are told that in the
island of Trinidad the pollenation Of
the bauhinia megalandra, of the fam
lily leguminosae, is effected by field
mouse. 1t feeds off insects attracted
by the sugary juice of the plant, and in
rubbing against the stamens becomes
covered with the pollen, which, trans
ported to the other flowers, succeeds in
penetrating the style.

chickens will get over their feathering
easily.
The laying of unusually large eggs is
pretty good indication that the hens
are too fat.
The best plan is to train the young
poultry to roost in the poultry-house
from the start.
If there are any hens to be sold this
fall a good time to sell them is when
they quit laying.
A little faxseed meal in their food
will help the old fowls to pass through
their moult quickly.
If young ducks are allowed access to
a pond too early they are apt to have
cramp in the legs.

Escaping Gas Kills Trees.

The fact is well known that, not
withstanding the care given by the gas
companies to prevent leakage, breaks
often occur in this mains, resulting in
the death of grrat many shade trees
yearly. 1t is also said that where pipes
carrying steam heat underground are
placed near the trees the warmth in
winter starts the circulation of the sap,
which, being unable to go up through
the fro-en bole of the tree, rots the
roots.

THE HUNTING NUISANCE.
Farmers Should Make a United EGor,
to StOD 1t.

Farmers Should Make a United Effort
to Stop 1t.
As soon as harvest is over the farms of
the state, especially those near towns,
will be overrun by hunters and their
dogs, says Wallace's Farmer. These fell
lows are out for sport and have no hest
tation in leaving gates open and shoot
ing wherever the bird flies without ref
erence to the farmers cattle, horses or
sheep, and If prairie chicken and quail
are not plenty, have no hesitation in
practicing on the birds that are the
farmers friends. They have no business
on the farm, no right to set foot on it
without the farmers permission, and
may be prosecuted for trespass or dam
age to stock if the farmer so elects.
His election, however, does him no
good. Many of them are judgment
proof, and the expenses of lawsuit
would be more than any damage that
could be secured. The right thing to
do is to post notices: Hunting not
permitted on this farm" and then If
they insisted on doing it, order them
off and enforce the order If necessary al
the point OF gun. One of the most
provoking things on the farm is to have
an invasion of hunters, involving as it
does loss or damage to the live stock.
The game they shoot are the friends Of
the farmer anyhow, and they are his by
right if he wishes to do little shooting
himself.
When the country was great grain
field with little or no stock and game
abundant, no damage was done by the
hunters. It is different now. In other
countries the farmer sells the right to
shoot on his place. Real sportsmen in
the eastern cities are already buying
this right from farmers, or a neighbour
hood of farmers, going to the expense
of importing game birds and stocking
the farm for the benefit of enjoying the
sport of shooting them in the fall. This
is the honorable way of sport, and
farmers should insist that it be followed

Vitality of Microbes.

In France it has been observed that
germs of Charlton persist in the soils,
where animals dying of that malady
have been buried, for many years. The
burial OF one hog that has died from the
cholera may cause the disease to appear
in swine which may be pastured in the
same inclosure during coming seasons.
All infected carcasses should be Gre
mated. The microbe of tetanus, small
pox, yellow feger, bubonic plague and
some other infectious diseases retain
thei- vitality in the soil.
