INVESTIGATION OF DISEASE.
Increase of Cancerous Affection in
This and Other Countries.

In the course of an interesting pa
per recently contributed in the New
York Medical Record on The Early Di-
agnosis of Cancer of the Stomach, Dr.
John c. Hemmeter of Baltimore, pro-
fessor of the medical department of
the University of Maryland, calls at
tention to the alarming increase of
this disease the world over during the
end of the nineteenth century "Ac-
cording to the reports of the registrar
general" says DR.. Hemmeter, "the
mortality from cancer in England and
Wales is progressively increasing out
of I'll proportion to the increase of the
population. and with rapidity that
may well arrest the attention of sani-
tarians A study of the tables COM
piled from these reports shows that in
1910 cancer caused 2,7S6 deaths. the
proportion being one in 5.646 Of the to-
tai population. and one in 129 Of the
total mortality, or 1T per million
living: in 1896 the deaths due to it
numbered 23,521, or one in 1906 Of the

done, and he proposed to bring water
from Hertfordshire by new river. "
He embarked in the undertaking,
sank his fortune in its conduit and
appealed to the king for assistance.
James granted this aid, taking one
half of the shares of the company
| thirty-six out of the seventy-two
shares into which it was divided. The
shares that remained received the
name of "adventurer's moiety." The
work was completed in 1913 and water
was then let into the city
So little was the measure appre-
ciated that its first years were
troublous ones for the shareholders.
The squires objected to the river, be-
lieving it would overflow their lands
or reduce them to swamps and destroy
the roads. The city residents adopted
the use of the water slowly. The
shares were nominally worth e100
apiece, but for nearly twenty years
the income was only u shillings, or
IS, per share. In 1886 a share was
valued at e115 los, and by 1900 it had
risen to G 431 S. With the first
years of this century the company
prospered and it's benefits were widely
applied, rejecting this change in the
value of its capital. In 1920 a share
was worth e11,500, and in 1873 the
fraction of a share was sold at
rate which made a full share worth
e91,000 In 1888 the dividend dis
tributed to each share was casio.
Eleven years later, in July, 1889, a
single share was sold for e122,S0O, or
nearly 100000. The nominal capital
of the company in 1884 was $780,
900, and besides its water franchise it
holds large estates and valuable prop
erties.-Sceince Monthly.

In considering the value of Tutulia and
its harbor OF Pango Pango, it is proper
to add that the Samoan naval disaster
of 1889, in which a number of naval
vessels were wrecked during a severe
storm, occurred in the roadstead of
Apia on the island of Upolu, and not in
the land-locked and well-protected
harbor of Pango Pango.

II the current number OF the Geo.
graphical Journal DR.. Moreno gives an
account Of Patagonia, which is por-
tion of that vast area in South Amer
lea still unknown to geography, and
interesting because of the rich prod
ucts, which it probably contains, and
its charming landscapes. 1t seems thai
Patagonia does not merit the bad repu-
tation as regards scenery which it has
had since Darwin and Fitzroy received
a disagreeabie impression from the
portion they explored. The plateaus
of Arizona find their analogy in the
table lands of Patagonia and "the pic
turesque fiords and white mountains of
Alaska seem to be copy of the fjords
and mountains of Patagonia" The
analogy might be pushed even further,
for it seems there is strange similar
ity between the ancient customs and
industries of the Alaskan and Pata-
gonian Indians.

President Kruger's Father.

The bitter feeling which Paul Kru-
ger cherishes toward the British is GER
tainly not lessened by the memory that
his own father was the man who fired
the first shot at the English troops
at Boomplatz in 1S4S, and by the fur
ther thought that he was one of those
who were driven by the English to
take part in the great trek" of 1896.
Again, in 1854, when the Beers petit
toned the queen to be allowed to re-
main under the protection of the Brit
ish flag, the elder Kruger was one of
its signers. The answer Of the duke of
Newcastle, who returned the petition
with the remark that it could not be
entertained and that England had al
ready extended its rule too far in Af-
rica, has always been remembered by
Kruger and his associates as an un'
dying insult.

Railroads in Africa.

On the day the Beers declared war
there were in operation in Africa
nearly 1000 miles of railroad. At
the end of 1890 the mileage for the
entire continent was only 5S13 miles.
In the past eight years it has more
than doubled, 1912 miles Of new roads
having been put into operation. Some
of these roads are now being extended,
work has begun on few new enter
prises, and these extensions and new
lines, for whose completion financial
arrangements have been made, will
add about $500 miles to the total.
Then there are other projects, such as
the German road to Tanganyika, the
French road from Algeria to the Sou
dan, and the Belgian road from the
Congo to the Nile, all Government
schemes and not yet under way. 1t
is probably conservative estimate to
say that the end of the next decade
will see $4,000 miles of railroad in
operation.

No Rocking LullabY.

Strange at it may seem, the IT, ne
honored custom of rocking babies TO
sleep is bad one. 1t is injurious v
the children themselves, and is a causI
eventually of much unnecessary
trouble to their guardians. Mothers
should therefore see to it that from the
very first the little ones are brought
up in the way they should go, and that
the monthly nurse does not get them
into bad habits by rocking them to
sleep either in her arms or in their
cots. There is no doubt that rocking
is the most expeditions way Of induc-
ing baby to go to sleep, but II one
once starts, a baby will not sleep with
out 1t, and at later age Is likely to
suffer from insomnia. Rocking may
save Immediate trouble to lazy nurse
or mother by inducing sleep when. a
child does not require 1t, or when 1t
ought to be taken up from its cot and
have clean clothes put on, but 1t will
never cause that sweet, gentle and per-
feet sleep which should be character
istic of a baby who has no artificial
aids to induce slumber.

MErAMoRPHosIs OF ITALIANS
Contrast of Newly Arrived Immigrants
and Their Americanized Relations.

Contrast of NewIy Arrived Immigrants
and Their Amoricanized Relations.
There was a meeting outside the
barge Office. A batch of immigrants
had come in, and Giulia and her man
were in waiting to receive some new
ly arrived relatives. Giulia was brave
in her finest and most gorgeous raj
ment, combining a reckless love Of
bright colors with an ardent desire to
look American. Her hat was a mar
vel of Third avenue millinery. Her
bright dress was after the most ap-
proved autumn model, always, OF
course, from the Third avenue stand
point, and the pendant earrings, great
yellow brooch, and jlngling bracelets
were dazzling to behold. To crown
all, and as an irresistible finish, she
had squeezed her plump hands into a
pair OF yellow kid gloves, momentarily
threatening to burst. Pietro's scarlet
necktie, generous expanse Of shirt
front, low-cut mottled waistcoat, and
highly gilded watch chain limited his
powers of self-adornment, but his lit
tie wife cheerfully made up for all he
lacked. Shrill cries of "Ecco! Ecco!"
turned the dull eyes of three persons
In their direction, and, extricating
themselves from the excited crowd,
they withdrew to contemplate each
other at their leisure. The contrast
was painful on one side, pathetically
ludicrous on the other. Francisco and
his sisters gazed blankly at their
changed and resplendent relations.
The man had on tight breeches Of
homespun, a gray flannel shirt with a
red cotton handkerchief knotted at the
throat, and was picturesque speci-
men of Tuscan manhood. The women
were bare-headed; covert glances had
been exchanged over Giulia's startling
headgear They wore huge, roughly
cobbled boots, and short petticoats
displaying striped blue and yellow
stockings, and knit worsted shawls Of
Yariegated colors were tightly drawn
about the shoulders and fastened at
che opened throat with monstrous cor
al brooches. the crowning glory of
their attire. But Giulia! Truly she
was a queen in comparisoa Never
mind! Americanisms are quickly ac-
quired, and if the brother is lucky six
months may see their metamorphosis.

SHE SMILED AT ME,

With smile half-impudent, half-shy.

She smiled at me.
She smiled at me and her eyes were bright:
They danced and twinkled with pure de.
light,
And 1 carried the smile from noon till
night
She smiled at ME.
Twas none of your bold impertInent smiles
That speak of a willful woman's wiles,
But the sunny smile that heart beguiles-
She smiled at me.
And all through the day, in memory
Her smile and its dimple still could see.
1t frightened my daily drudgery--
She smiled at me.

Pinned to the tail was card, which

"Please Kick Ne Hard" That's why the

In report to the State Depart
ment the United States Consul at
Lyons says of the ravages of con-
sumption in France each year: For
every six persons In this country at
least one dies of consumption. OF
the $50, 600 deaths that occur every
year in France over 140,000 are
caused by pulmonary tuberculosis or
phthisis, and this number, instead Of
decreasing, goes on augmenting every
year. Hardly family but pays to it
a sad tribute. No disease, no soourge,
can be compared to tuberculosis, so
far as the number of the victims is
concerned. All epidemics and con-
tagious diseases combined-.typhoid,
varioloid, scarlatina, measles, diph-
iberia, cholera, etc.-do not cause
half as many deaths"

ODD ENGINEERING.
Water, Taken from the Pacific, Sent to
Atlantic Ocean.

1t is a remarkable fact that water
which flows naturally into the Gulf of
California and thence into the Pacific
ocean has been virtually lifted across
the backbone of the Rocky mountains,
and now, after being used for irriga-
ton, finds its way into the Gulf of
Mexico. A number of small streams
on the other side of Longs peak,
which flow into Grand lake and thence
into the Colorado river, have been di-
verted by ditch that finds it's way
through 10000 feet high into the head
waters of the Poudre. Some 400 cubic
feet per second has thus been diverted
from the Pacific to the Atlantic slope,
where the water is used for irrigating
additional farms in Larimer county
1t is not strictly correct to say that
this water has been lifted across the
range. But feat Of sinuous engineer
ing has diverted it, which amounts to
the same thing.
