A CANCER MYSTERY.
Physicians Unable TO Discover the
Cause or Cure of the
Disease.

In the daily press we find full ac-
counts of another discovery of the can
Ger bacillus. the investigator in this in
stance being DR.. Bra, of Paris, says the
Medical Review of Reviews. 1t is not
surprising to learn that the medical
men of the French capital do not unani-
mously or even in small numbers in
dorse the validity OF the claims made
nor do they express complete conf
dence in the source from which the
claims emanate.
The answer TO the question of the ex-
istence of a cancer bacillus is still TO be
reckoned among the mysteries of bac-
THEOLOGICAL research. One striking an
alogy TO recognized microbe disease is
lacking in the clinical history of can
cer-viz., its rare appearance before
middle life, even though exposure be
prolonged 10 many years. The tuber-
Gle bacillus may find soil for reproduc
tion in al ages and among all classes.
This is very far from the fact in the his
tory Of cancer invasion. the exceptions
being too few TO prove that il is other
than a disease peculiar to the period OF
middle life and old age.

PROFESSIONAL MEN WORK.
Farmers or Laborers Who DO Manual
Labor Have an Advantage In
Hours of Work.

People who work with their hands,
especially farmers. are apt to think
that professional men have an easy
time of it," said lawyer Of this city. re-
ports the New Orleans Times-Dsmo-
crat. Its an amusing mistake. The
farmer stops at shutdown and the la
borer works ten hours at the outside.
The average professional man works
from 70 to IA hours day in and day out,
all the year around. Often, at pinch,
he will work from l6 to 20 hours for
several days in succession, and be will
work when he is sick or suffering Sc
we're physical pain, something the man
ual toiler wouldn't dream of. OF course
he takes short intervals of rest, like
everybody else The human engine isn't
capable of absolutely sustained en-
deavor for over an hour at a stretch.
Watch a day laborer, who seems to be
plodding along like a machine, and
you'll find that he really rests more
than half the time. He looks at some
well-dressed doctor, lawyer, broker, OF
man of affairs and says to himself: 20,
you doggoned lazy rascal! If you only
had to work like met The truth is
that the chap he envies is putting an
amount Of concentration and contin-
ued energy into his daily toll that
would kill the man who works with his
hands alone in less than a week.

FINGERING HELPED STATUES.
CuriOus Discovery Made in Berlin
Museums AboIishes the Hands

Until short time ago. says the New
York Times. the bronze statuary in
some of the Berlin museums was most
carefully labeled: Hands off" just
as il is in many American museums
What happened in Berlin, however,
may cause the curators OF some of our
museums 10 take down their signs. II
was observed in Berlin that those parts
of the bronze statues which were sur
reptitiously handled by the public re
tanned good surface. This led 10 the
conclusion that fat had something to
do with IT, An experiment was there
fore tried for some years with four
bronzes. One was coated every day
with oil and wiped with cloth; another
was washed every day with water; the
oiled twice year; and the fourth was
left untouched. just as our bronzes re
main isolated behind the notices.
Hands off" The first looked beauti-
full; the third. which had been oiled
twice a year, was passable; the second
looked dead; and the fourth was dull
and black. II is probably fact not
generally known that the ancient
Greeks polished their statues by con
slant hand rubbing. Perhaps the
curators above mentioned, who have
charge Of statues and other adorn-
ments, will profit by the experiment
here described.

branches as mathematics and astron-

naturally be regarded as of the utmost

Bile success. One professor says, for
instance. that Swearingen answered
with two minutes thought a complex
mathematical proposition that has not
been answered by another student in
