fcNuits Of Prof. koch's Study os
MalariaI Conditions

Berlin Letter in Chicago Record.
Prof koch's recent studies of malaria
IN tropical countries and in italy have lad
to his conviction that the malariaI fevers n.
Italy are Identical in cause and general
character with those of East Africa. and
1t is believed that science is on the eve of
a decisive victory over this whole group of
maladies by means of liquid injections of
quinine into the pulse vein.
Prof. Koch prOnouuces the indiscriminat e
use of quinne as prophylactic in malarial
countries to be attended with great danger
and in many cases the indirect cause of :I1e
Virulent ''black-water' fever. He gives
two reasons for condemning the very gem
efal practice among persons gong from
temperate to tropical ATTITUDES of saturat-
ing their systems with quinine taken in
regular and often excessive doses In the
first place, this treatment seriously weak
ems the action of the heart and, secondly.
the system, having become Injured to the
drug, falls to respond to quinile treatment
in case of actual sickness. A person debil-
ltated by the injudicious use of uuinine
may take malarial fever and die like any
one else.
Prof. Koch goes even further and asserts
has ellef that the increased death rate in
certain parts of West Africa is due largely
to the increased and indiscriminate use of
quinine. which in late Years is much Cheaper
ana easier to procure in those parts. 1t is
wen KNOWN tnat tne German school of doc
tors has long favored the use of arsenic in
stead of quinine as a remedy for certain
fevers, in sharp disagreement with the
opinions of physicians in some other coun-
tries, notably the United States The
statement now made by Prof Koch that
on the western coast of Africa, where all
forms of malarial fever are especially viz
ulent, cases of the intermittent type which
have resisted even heroic doses of quinine
have yielded to the administration of ar
senic has been the source of much gratifi-
cation to his professional brethren in Ger
II any.
Prof. Koch also notes the curious fact
that in Africa and India he found the wo-
men withstood exposure to the malarial
climate much better than men. During a
coast, when men of all degrees of health
and experience in tropical ATTITUDES We're
dying every day there was hardly death
among the women.

AS POTENT AS A KING.
Influence of the Mad Mullah Among
the Swatis.

the Swatis.
London Letter in Chicago Record
Not much is known about the mad null
lah," the old man of India who is causing
uneasiness in the minds of English politi-
clans today. He is mad only in the fanat-
ical sense. He first made himself notorious
in the Chitral outbreak of 1895, when, al
though more than seventy years old, he
was among the foremost in energy and
strategic ability. In the fighting at the
Malakand he lost two fingers, and after
ward the members We're buried with great
pomp in the Bonair valley, and shrine
was erected to mark the spot.
The mullah Is a native of the Bonair
country, and yields therein tremendous
amount of influence This influence he has
used in Skillfully turning The enmity of the
people in Swat against the khan of Dir in
the "jehad," or holy war. There is feud
of long standing between the SwatiS and
the kahan. The kahan claims certain parts
of Upper Swat, and at intervals from be-
fore the British occupation until this day
he has been in the habit of raiding the
country. His agent, a khaka khel of the
Aalrat, near NoWshera, had spread terror
throughout the valley, but ii is doubtful
whether the khan with all his boasts-for
tain his official position We're 1t NOT for
British support
The frontier will not be secure as LONG az
the muilah Is at large, but the suppression
of the present outbreak is likely Ia load To
an independent inquiry into the pretensions
OF the khan of Dir will a view TO a SET

He Was Rewarded for His Honestx

From the London Spare Moments
In small village just outside Noting
ham farm laborer went to the general
store, which was kept by an old woman NOT
overstocked with brains, and asked for "a
pahnd O. bacon"
The old lady produced the bacon and cut
piece off, but could not find the pound
weight.
'Oh, never mind t pahnd weight" said
he; me fist just weighs a pahnd so mt
Their bacon in L scales"
The woman confidently placed the bacon
into one side of the scales, while the man
put his fist into the other side. and of
course took good care to have good weight.
While the woman was wrapping the ba-
con up the pound weight was found. and
on seeing it the man said:
Nah you see if me fist don't Just weigh
a pahnd.'
The pound weight was accordingly nut
into one scale and the mans fist into the
other, this time only just to balance
The old woman on seeing this said:
"Wha, never seed aught so near afore!
Here's red herrin' for thee honesty, me
lad"

Chance and Mathematics.

From the New orleans Times Democrat
A group of turfmen stood by the cigar
stand in one of the hotel corridors and
amused themselves tossing nickeis, heads
or tails.
IF a fairly tossed coin falls head up six
times" said one of the party, what are
the odds on the seventh throw"
Three to one it comes TAM replied an
other
You're wrong" said the first speaker;
The chances are exactly even, the same
as they were at the start"
That's true" remarked a third member
of the group. although ii doesn't seem so.
hundred throws will show an average of
almost fifty heads and fifty tails but the
chances for each individual throw are eN-
actly even, regardless Of what went before.

SIAGARA'S NEW BRIDGE.
4 Structure to he Erected at Historic
QueenstOn Heights.

QueenstOn Heights.
From the Philadelphia Record.
From the materials which comprised the
old suspension bridge at Niagara Falls
which has recently given way - a larger
and more pretentious span structure, an
other bridge will be reared over the same
stream some distance below.
The towers and approaches of the new
bridge have been completed and all is ready
for The stringing of the cables and the cree
ton of the iron. The site will be on the
spot near the village of Lewiston, n. Y,
and the quaint old town of Queenston, Ont.
where in 1Sjo-'J1 a suspension bridge was
built to connect the Lewiston mountain
with the historic QueenSton Heights, into
the soil of which the blood of the brave
Canadian, General Brock soaked when he
fell MORALLY wounded. The Old bridge was
many years ahead of the profitable demands
of the times, and when it was destroyed it
was never afterward rebuilt.
In the matter of location the new bridge
will adhere closely to the old bridge. From
tower TO tower the span will be little over
1000 feet, While the span of the suspended
portion of the bridge will be about 300 feet.
FIJI outside width of the bridge will be IS
feet and the roadway will have Il width of
- feet. This width of floor will afford
room for single trolley car track laid
through the center with space on either
side for teams to pass abreast. In the con-
struction of the bridge about 500 tons Of
metal will be used and the cables will

TAN DODGING IN ITALY,
Government is Taking Steps to Cap

respondence of the London Post

Rome Correspondence Of the London Post
1t il always said that Italy is a heavily
taxed country, but it might be more truly
said that the taxes are heaviest for those
who are unable to avoid paying them.
Among the Weather classes, manufactur-
ers and professional men in Italy a great
deal of what Americans call tax lodging
goes on, and f the tax dodger" possesses
political influence he is often able to escape
punishment.
At the beginning of the year the chamber
passed an important law on infortunii sui
lavoro or accidents to workmen, by which
the responsibility of employers for acct
dents happening to their workmen was de-
fined. In it employers were called on to
state the number of workmen in their en-
ploy and the number of steam engines and
other machines in their factories.
A large number of Palermitan employers
however, feared that If they Informed the
government of the real number of work
men in their employ the tax agent might
be able to calculate the amount of their
profits and increase their income tax. In
fact out of LOCO steam engines in the
Palermo district only one has yet been re-
ported to the authorities, while of the 5000
men at work IN the sulphur mines only
$500 have been declared. A government
inspection IS asked for and meanwhile the
employers who have not .conformed to the
law are being prosecuted.
