Anti-Rabie Inoculations

The current number Of the Annales de
lIrstitut Pasteur contains M. Pottc-
WINS annual report for 1856 on the anti
rabie NEGOTIATIONS conducted during the
past year at the Paris Pasteur Institute.
The number of persons treated was 1908,
less than in any previous year since the
institute was opened. This diminution
is attributable to the fact that patients,
instead of going to Paris from parts of
the country, undergo the NEGOTIATIONS at
the institutes now established at Lille
and Marseilles; also similar institutes
have been founded in Algiers and Turin,
districts which formerly sent consider
able numbers of cases to Paris. During
the ten years which have elapsed since
the opening of the Paris Institute, u.s. 645
persons have been treated there, and an
in teresting table is appended, from
which it appears that England contrib
uted no less than $40 individuals, and
more than any other country; Belgium
coming next, with 429.
In some of the departments of France
cases of rabies have steadily diminished,
thanks to the energetic measures taken
by the local authorities, while in others,
where less vigorous steps have been
taken to guard against its dissemina ton,
the number of cases has increased 1t is

Donnelps dog he secured victim in the
shape of large brindle cur, and swan
around the pool holding him in his jaws
for five OF six hours, as If to show visit
ors his prowess. Finally he buried him
in the mud, but the carcass next day
f1oated to the surface. Fred Ellis sent
Glass; one of the workmen, to put it
ashore. He got boat and, securing the
animal, dragged it ashore and went to
notify a cremator cart driver to call for
it. BY the time the cart got there the
alligaor had crawled out, got his prop
erty, and, as he did on the first day,
swan around the pool with it for sew
eral hours, finally leaving it afloat.
Cass was again sent to pull the carcass
out. He armed himself with a spiked
pole, stabbed the dog and drew him to
the bank. The great sluggish gator wac
reused to fury in a moment and came
with a rush through the water for the
dog, and there was a pitched battle for
five minutes, the gator finally retrea ting
before the numerous spilSings he had re-
ceived with the raft pole. This time it
was seen that he had eaten off the dogs
head.
Joe Frazee, called alligator Joe," be-
cause of his alligator farm and his chase
of the reptiles, out Of which he makes
an excellent living, says that when a
gator sees its prey upon the bank it
sinks, swims to the spot, and them like
a flash, springs into curve, the tail
striking the object and sending it into
the mouth, open, and expectant, with al
most unerring aim.-Florida Times

Women as Wage Farmers

A New York woman recovering from a

young woman who could look after her
children of and 8, in addition to the
nursamaid, who was to care for the baby

inquiries among her friends. Not one.
but dozens of young women came to her,
in early June, many of them accom-

fully ready to take any decent occupa-

if the late Professor Huxley had realized
eighteen years ago how strong. was the
evidence about to be brought forward,
he would have spoken more cautiously
about the antiquity of organic life. The
philosophy of the biologists, says Lord
Kelvin, was in some respects very rot
ten," and he proceeded to lay down, as
| if it were quite a self-evident axiom,
that there must be definite beginning
and definite end, of this world as an
abode of life." And he has even ventured
on another occasion to suggest an ex-
traneous origin for the animation in
which we have part. But that leads
us into theories at least as vague as
those which he denounced. The meta
physic of a physicist is as inconclusive
as the materialism of an evolutionist-

VIEWS ON THE EARTH's AGE
Lord Kelvin Takes Exceptions to the
Darwinian Chronology

Lord Kelvin yesterday gave an inter-
esting turn to the Outstanding dispute
between biologists and physicians as to
the age of the earth. AS soon as the
theory of natural selection-at first haz-
arded as an audacious speculation-had
been adopted as an article of scientific
faith, it became evident that we must
revise all our ideas of chronology. For
the gradual evolution of innumerable
species, for the disappearance of old
types and the development of new forms
of life, it was considered necessary to
postulate enormous periods of time. We
began to think not in centuries or thou
sands of years, but in millions and hum
dreds of millions. When the Darwinist
found himself involved in a difficulty,
he explained it away by taking little
more time, and the biologists endowed
themselves with aeons as literally as
Dumas supplied Monte Cristo with I'm
limited wealth. Nobody could contra
dict them, and there was nothing illog-
ical in their progressive Entertainments
on the infinite. But for some time Lord
Kelvin has protested against this license
of assumption and at the Victoria in
stitute yesterday he summarized his OBJ
jectons in a popular lecture. 1t is i'm
possible, he says, that the organic
changes described or imagined by the
naturalists should have been going on
for anything like the period they sug-
gest.
The date at which the planet became
habtable is comparatively modern. II
may be 100000 900 years ago-perhaps ii
