Attention is again being directed al
the war Office to the extraordinary NOR
tality from enteric fever, or typhoid,
among young officers in recent years.
The mum Der of cases in connection with
the Sudan expedition has forced the
subject on the notice of the authorities,
but the cause in Egypt was obviously
the impure water of the Nile, which il
was not always practicable to boil and
filter according to medical regulations.
But the case of India is even more seri-
Gus, for there the water supplied to
messes and garrisons is most carefully
looked to, and yet the high death rate
from this cause is becoming a perma-
nent factor. 1t is believed indeed that
the mortality from the disease is in
creasing, and it is therefore all the more
desira BILE that full statistics on the sub
ject should be collected and published,
while at the same time strioter precau-
tionary measures should at once be en-
forced Cholera used to be the terror OF
India as far as the army was concerned,
but now it's place is usurped by enteriC

The whaling Industry.

The progress of our age has played
havoc with many time hoBored indus
tries, but, on the other hand, has caused
new ones to spring up and take their
places. Whaling in bygone times was a
dangerous business Sailing vessels fit
ted out for the purpose had to take
along not only crew of hardy whale
hunters. but also men skilled in cutting
the lard from the leviathans sides.

oil barrels, carried along for that pur
pose A large quantity of fat and other
material was always wasted no matter
how careful the captain and crew went
to work Today whaling is carried on
differently Steamers fitted with all the
modern appliances and covering ten
times the ground of a sailing vessel are
out after the great cetaceans. When
they catch a whale within couple
hundred knots from North cape, they
do not stop to cutup the big fish at sea,
but tow the animal to Vardoe or Vad
soc, where enterprising Norwegians
have started quite a novel business-a
whale butchery. They work on part
nership arrangement, paying the ship
owner pro rata of the whale oil rendered
and the amount of whalebone secured.
Because of their improved facilities
they obtain more than twice as much
oil, and since the meat of the whale
makes splendid fertilizer and they de-
rive another large source of income by
selling whale hides for museums to
dealers in. curios they are doing very

Cure For Alcoholism.

Dr. Rybakow, prominent Russian
physician, states that he has discovered
a positive and effective cure for the
drink habit. His method consists Of a
series of hypnotic treatments. Men adj
dicted to liquor are easy subjects and
can be brought under mesmerio inf1u-
ence in very short time The first eff
feet of the cure is the refreshment OF
the shattered constitution, and this
gradually brings about adherence for
intoxicants of any kind. DIR. Rybakow
says that to obtain complete results the
hypnotic sittings should continue al
regular intervals for at least one year.
The best time to act upon the inebriate'l
nerves is when he is about to "sobei
up" The doctor asserts that he has
effected a positive cure in 900 cases.

Vegetable Ivory Buttons.


One of the most peculiar of German
industries and employing multitudes Of
operatives is located in the town Of
Gera, where the manufacture of the
we'll known vegetable ivory buttons is
carried on. The curious material thus
employed-an ivory NUTS the
fruit Of a species Of South American
palm, mainly procured through Ham
burg importers. Before being manufao-
tured into buttons the nuts are sheIled
by means of rotating sheet iron drum,
provided on the interior with sharp
three edged irons There are two meth
DDS of cutting the nuts. In one the ker-
mel is cut into halves, out Of which the
raw buttons are bored by machines, this
being termed the Saxon method and
preferred for small sizes. The Berlin
method consists in cutting the Kernel
into small blocks, and buttons of large
size are made from them by means of a
shaping machine. The process Of dyeing
requires great skill on the part of the
workmen, who are carefully trained for
the purpose and must possess some
chemical knowledge, but almost every
factory has its special com binations of
colors which are kept carefully secret

"EIeCtriCity Is Life. !"

Electricity is mysteriOus-som
thing. Certain facts are known rela-
tive to it's effects, nothing of it's ma
ture. New discoveries are being
made in regard to it's generation, d.
rection and effects The mysteries of
existence are perhaps involved in it
and when the subject of electricity is
understood it will throw light upon
many things concerning which we
now know absolutely nothing. Nikola
Tesla has already made wonderful dis
coveries in this occult science and if
his life is spared to enable him to ac-
complish his designs he will illustrate
still more wonderful effects of this
subtle element. He believes he sees
in the near future the possibility of
success in curing diseases by the
effects of electricity upon human suf-
ferers. He proposes to generate a
million volts of this force to oxidize
the bacilli of diseases. He claims that
such a tremendous force will not in

disease. 1t is not plain to many why
a force of 1900 volts will kill a man
and $4,000 will not injure him. Tesla
himself has been affected with force
Of $4,000 and escaped uninjured. In
explaining this, DR.. Kolle says: The
reason that 50, 900 volts did not kill
Tesla when he took that strength of
current is that the cells in his body
did not have time to contract in re-
Spouse to it. Much less would have
killed him instantly. Much more is
all the safer. Tt is just such case as
that of a bullet going through a win
dow pane. At high speed it will cut
clean hole and will not crack the
glass. The particles have not time
to spread during the period of impact.
There is common proverb that
electricity is life and the scientific
meaning of that saying is that it
oXidizes the tissue This much is
known Oxidation does kill bacilli
of all kinds And since these currents
produce oxidization the theory of
Tesla is correct. The only question
is, how much oXidiZation of tissue will
kill bacilli therein? Perhaps that is
to be determined.

recently. This company manufact-
ured quality of food designated de-
sipota 1t is made from potatoes in
to a cOvenient form for preservation
and transportation A bushel of pota-
toes-60 pounds-produces 10 pounds
of the manufactured article. The
company propose to locate in some
good potato producing region in order
to save freight-the difference be
tween six cars of the raw material and
one of desipota, a very important
item of economy. River Falls would
be an excellent point for the location
of this plant. The company are look
ing for place to locate in country
where potatoes are certain crop and
raised in abundance. The plant in
question used 400 bushels day and
gave employment to 80 men and go
women. We have excellent encour-
agement to offer as location for the
mandatory of this company. No
better potato soil can be found than
that adjoining this city. We have
water power in abundance and very
good transportation facilities. Will
the Standard Food company of Indi-
annapolis come up and look over the
advantages this locality has to offer?
