From growth made on a fore, so feel that I can claim the right of discovery.
 My future work will be along lines that have been proved to be successful in other deadly diseases, diphtheria for instance.
 of course it may take me a long time to find out the exact nature of the poison have isolated, and on the other hand, I may do 1t in few weeks. After that to figure out an antidote should not be such a very difficult matter Chemical laws are pretty we'll under stood, and when a certain component Is known we can always figure out what will neutralize it. It has never failed yet'
 In order that the lay mind may fully grasp the importance and meaning of Dr. Pillsbury's discovery some expla- nation will be necessary.
 The ordinary conception of the way in which the deadly bacillus does its work IS that 1t simply destroys the feshy tissue, much after the fashion of chewing or tearing. But while this is done to a great extent death always results long before enough of the tissue disappears to have produced death. Add to this the condition and general appearance of a consumptive patient and everything points to the work of poison that has been generated by the bacilli.
 This same phenomenon has already been observed in other forms of bac- terial poisoning, and it Is pretty we'll understood and can be combated to certain extent.
 This form of poisoning is called "Ptomain poisoning" and the difficulty of curing 1t lies entirely in the fact that it is so rapid in its work the patient frequently dies before a doctor can be summoned. The ptomain is the poi son generated by the bacilli that have come into existence in decomposng meat or .f1sh-the most deadly variety being found in shell fish.
 If this poison is injected into any liv- Ing creature and the known antidote administered within a few minutes no evil results will follow. But if the pa tient be neglected for even a few hours death is almost certain.
 On this basis, common ptomain pois-

 The filliate is then distilled and

 and the residue broken up with

 then precipitated with carbon

 usual tests for alkaloids, such as

 that it Is the pure alkaloid of

 A number of scientific medical men In this city were questioned in regard to what they thought of Dr. Pillsburys S discovery, and while a few were in clined to be skeptical of the ultimate result. all agreed that the discovery was most important one and almost sure to lead to beneficial results. Dr. Gustav Eisen of the Academy of Sciences thought the discovery of the alkaloid almost as important as the discovery of the bacilli itself Reason- ing from our present chemical knowl- edge it is the most important step toward a cure for consumption that has ever been made.
 Dr. Roseneau of the Government Quarantine Station said: 'Dr. Pills bury has certainly made a most i'm portant discovery, but of it's relative importance we cannot of course Judge at present. Only results can show that. Should 1t prove the means of disccv- ering cure for consumption it's im- portance is of course beyond estimate. There have been a number of extracts made from the pure bacilli, but I never heard of anybody ever making a pure alkaloid before"

 The man who has accomplished this wonderful achivement is Dr. Ernest s. Pillsbury, instructor in bacteriology of Cooper Medical College, this city. He has been working on his theory for several years, and now feels that he has accomplished something that is sure to produce results beneficial to the human race.

The Alexander put into Dutch Harbor after leaving Plover Bay, and sailed from there on November for San Francisco. A heavy gale was encountered, so the bark returned to her anchorage and did not make another start until November 23. At Dutch Harbor the Alaska Commercial Company was extending its wharf when the Alexander left. The schooner Pearl was fitting out for San Francisco and was to sail via Unga about December 1.
 All sorts of stories came from the Arctic about the Alexander. She was reported with six whales, ashore at Cape Maya rine, wrecked, and, last of all, with four whales. The facts of the case are that she was caught in the ice at Cape Maya rine, and the only whalebone secured by the crew was what they got from the the ice off Cape Navarine from May 1 to June 20. She was making her way through an ice field, when it closed in on her. and there she had to stay. The field extended for fifty miles, and every day the crew could see the ice curl up in diff ferent directions when a jam came. Luckily no jam came in the vicinity of the Alexander, so she escaped being badly nipped. After getting out of the ice there was not a whale to be found. so Captain Triton went trading on the Siberian coast. Even there hard luck and the ice followed her and she was nearly frozen in in Plover Bay. At Dutch Harbor John Black of the crew deserted.

FREDERICK
 PULLS THE LAW
 0N DIRECTORS Has Taken Up the Fight of Teachers. MORE CLAIMS HELD UP PEDAGoGUEs MUST GET NovEM-
 BER PAY. Until Salary Bills Are Adjudicated Favored Merchants Must
 Wait for Their
 Money.

In Auditor Frederick the teachers have found a strong armed champion, and he has taken up the fight for their rights against the School Directors with wea- pon furnished him by the School Board itself
 When the board cut off the November pay of the teachers at it's meeting week ago it expected no more opposition than a general kick. There were claims from local merchants aggregating nearly S5,000 for necessary and unnecessary sup plies decorating every pigeon-hole in Sec retary Welch's office. The merchants not only had votes, but recourse for their claims to the bondsmen of the Directors. The teachers had neither. Of a conse- Quence the teachers suffered, and $15,000 of supply claims were audited and sent downstairs to Auditor Broderick. At the same time the salaries of office and shop sighed sighed and an, sent 'tIs to the same m official %
 The teachers held the expected indigna- ton meeting, passed fitting resolutions, cided to resort to mandamus proceedings to compel the payment of their Christ mas money.
 The litigation threatened by the teach CTS gave the Auditor his opportunity and he has held up and refused to audit the $15,000 In supply claims and the $1450 of office and shop salaries until such time as the, teachers claims snail have been ad- judicated.
 Though Auditor Frederick has been con- fined to sick bed for several weeks past he has kept in close touch with affairs at the hall. and has been well represented at his office by his chief deputy, Dan Leary. Both are convinced that they have the law with them in their present action, and they propose to hold the claims of the favored ones of the Direct ors until the board has been forced to acknowledge the rights of the pedagogues or the courts have brought to bear some force stronger than moral suasion.
