had so peppered a vast area that its color

an incredibly short time the insects had
eaten up every green thing and after the

INHERITED DISEASES.
Care May Prevent Transmission fros

Care May Prevent Transmission from
Parent to Child.
The question of heredity, or the trans.
mission of certain mental traits or
physical characteristics from parents
to children, is one that has been much
studied, but of which as yet too little
is known. Formerly the Inheritance of
disease was believed in implicitly. by
physicians as well as by laymen, and
the list of maladies to which children
were supposed to be almost inevitably
condemned by the accident Of birth
was a very long one.
Among these hereditary diseases
were reckoned consumption and scrof-
ula, leprosy, govt, rheumatism, goitre,
cancer, insanity, epilepsy and many
other nervous affections. AS We learn
more about these maladies, however,
one after another of them Is removed
wholly or in part from this category
and placed among the acquired dis.
eases.
Undoubtedly some diseases are really
inherited, but their number Is certainly
not large. Many diseases run In fam
lilies. but are not Oh that account neces-
sarily hereditary.
Consumption. for example. was only
recently regarded as one of the most
surely inherited diseases, and Is still
believed by many 10 be so. But we
now know that 1t is germ disease,
which, while not catching" In the Or
binary sense of the word, Is readily
transmitted from the sick to the well
when the invalid Is careless in his hab-
Its, especially as regards expectOratiOn.
1t Is also acquired more readily by
those Of delicate constitution than by
the robust.
The children Of consumptive parents
are seldom robust. and 80 are predis-
posed to any of the germ diseases, and
living constantly in a house where the
germs Of consumption are necessarily
abundant, they are very likely to be-
come victims of that disease.
This Is IN important fact. 1t teaches
us that since, as a rule, only the pre-.
disposition to the family disease Is In.
herited, and not the disease itself, the
chances Of the younger generations
escaping, II proper care is used, ore
very great.
The bringing up Of child In a con.
sumptive family should be Of special.
~ hygienic character. The best OF
foods, Of fresh air and sunlight, not pc
much study, long hours Of sleep In a
well-ventilated room and, as far al
possible, avoidance Of exposure to the
contagion Of the family malady-these
are the weapons by which the malign
influence Of inherited weakness Of con
stttution may be overcome and many
precious lives saved.-Y0uth's Com
paniOn.

The "teaser" Is an empty bladder tied

by the male representative Of English

DRY CLIMATE OF THE ARCTIC.
Wounds e0metimes Neal Rapidly Il

Wounds e0metimes Aea1 Rapidly In
1t--Meats DO Not Become Putrid.
One Of the American consuls In Ger
many has forwarded to the State De.
partment report made by DR.. Rowitz.
the physician Of the German Fisheries
Society, who spent four months In the
Arctic last year, on some climatic con.
ditions Of that region. He made some
interesting discoveries concerning the
putrefaction processes and the healing
Of wounds. His steamer arrived at
Bear Island In the beginning Of July.
Fish caught on the voyage and dried In
the Norwegian fashion showed not a
trace Of putridity as long as the air
remained dry aud clear. Even the nat.
ural fishy smep disappeared. Walrus
meat caught on the island and left ex.
posed on the rocks kept perfectly fres,
and sweet 1t tasted, by the way, much
like beefsteak.
Wounds on the hands, though ex.
posed to the contact Of iron chains and
bloody walrus flesh, did not become In.
famed In fair weather, but they did
not heal They remained raw, open
wounds. The surface gradually dried
but showed no tendency to form a scab
But 1t was very different In damp
cloudy weather.
Then fish. though already almost
dry, soon became mOldy and putres
cent. The walrus meat also soon be
came offensive.
Shoes had to be kept well oiled t
prevent mOlding. The slightest wounds
festered at once. In some cases tn,
pain was so intense as to make tn,
hardy sailors writhe In agony. But
after lancing these wounds healed rap
idly, sometimes In one night.
In dry and germ.free air. therefore
there was neither inflammation nor {
tendency to heal, while In moist, germ
laden air intense Inflammation and pro
fuse suppuration were quickly fol
lowed by complete healing.
1t would seem as II the system made
no effort to heal wounds except whel
the presence Of bacteria makes then
specially dangerous.
