Professor Adolf Dir, an accom-.
plished German scholar and Iinguist,
has invented a system of shorthand
symbols which will enable stenogra-
piers to report in any one or all the
chief European languages as readily
and correctly al they car In their re-
spective mother tongues. This sys-
tenn, upon which Professor DIR has
been engaged for a long time, is ex-
planned in a volume which will prob
ably be issued In a few weeks by a
Paris publisher. Professor DIR is
master Of some thirty languages,
oriental included. His system has
nothing whatever to do with VIOLA
puk." a dismal fad, which also was
made in Germany, but which the pro
fsssor has ridiculed. He has advised
all people in search OF a universal
language" to learn English, and he has
given his reasons English literature
is the richest and greatest In the
world. English is more generally
spoken than any other language since
the mishap at Babel, it is the univer.
sal language of commerce.

Surgery deals with unfavorable con
d%itions. when it cannot secure the
proper environment, with the same
courage that It exhibits under favoring
conditions. A city patient is tenderly
borne to a hospital operating room,
where every p~recaution known to mod
ern science favors the case. Lieut..
Peary. with frostbitten feet, is dashed
TO a sled and hauled to his ship. Am
putation follows, under primitive con-
d%itions. and speedy recovery concludes
a remarkable experience. Here, as in
many another instance, the man I'M
der the knife. as well as the man be-
hind the knife, is an important factor
in making surgery successful.

1t is to be regretted that the success
hour record at Paris was not cabled to
the American papers, for had Harry
Elkes known what the latest figures
were when he went for the record In
Philadelphia he would now very likely
hold the worlds record for the hour, as
during his attempt his pacemakers
were carefully following a schedule
prepared by Elkes, senior, who directed
all their movements and refused to let
them exceed the limit previously deter
mined upon by himself. All through the
ride, however, the younger Elkes was
Justify calling for o pace, and at
the end of the trial was so interested
In his work that he kept on for an ex-
ira mile and d~ismounted at the end
with no signs of exhaustion. There Is
good reason for believing, therefore,
that had Papa" Elkes known OF Tay-
lor's latest performance he would have
allowed Harry to place the figures over
thirty-seven miles in the hour, which
nobody who watched the trial doubts
the youthful phenomenon could have
successfully accomplished. Another
matter for regret is the fact that dur
ing these record-breaking rides the in
termediate times are not taken in both
miles and kilometers on both sides oil
the Atlantic, as unless this is done nc
comparison of the intermediate times
can be made and the two greatest rec
ord-breaking nations of the world have
no basis for compiling a common table
of records for the shorter distances.

Serum as a Hor oholera Rsmeay.

Newspaper bulletin No. 70. Indiana
Experiment Station: Upon the an
nouncement of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture that 1t had
achieved success in the treatment and
prevention of hog cholera by the new
serum, it was predicted by the vet
erinarian of the Indiana station hat
commercial firms would soon produce
a serum" and claim it to have all the
merits of that produced by the govern
ment. Neither experimental work or
experience is necessary for cholera
cure firms to claim success. Recently
we have been informed that such firms
are operating in Indiana, and as a
result cholera is following in their
path and the disease being introduced
into herds when it had not previously
been in the neighborhood. The In
diana station desires to learn of the
success or failure of the hog cholera
serum treatment in every locality in
which 1t has been tried, and also OF
all outbreaks of disease which may
have followed serum treatment, and
we solicit correspondence upon the
subject.
Reports have also been received that
agents of cholera medicines in White.
warren, Pulaski and Fulton counties
claim authority to sell goods recon-
mended by the station, and agents in
Marshall and Kosciusko counties claim
to be agents of the state board OF
agriculture. All agents making such
claims in any part of the state are
frauds and should be prosecuted.-A.

Minnesota Creameries.-An nco
aging sign is that nearly all the cream
cries are being operated w individuals
or companies of not more than two or
three persons. A few years ago 1t was
next to impossible to get a man to
put money alone into a creamery, and
on that account most of the creameries
in Minnesota were established by mu-
tual stock companies of farmers, a
dozen and more in a certain district
going into the venture with a little
money each and sharing the profits.
Their ventures proved that the dairy
Industry was the thing for Minnesota,
and now creamery after creamery is

this state. The greater number are
operated in that way.--Dairy Reporter.

HITS LABOR A BODY BLOW
UNIONS CAN NOT FINE FOR THE
VIOLATIONS OF RULES.
United States Attorney Baird Warns
Journeymen Carpenters and Brick
layers of Trade Restriction Law.


Journeymen Carpenters and Brick
layers of Trade Restriction Law.
The authority and instruction given
United States District Attorney Baird
in proceeding against the various local
trusts and combinations appear to have
been of greater scope than had been
first supposed. Not only are the mer-
/ chants affected by the law but the lab
/ or CARNATIONS as well.
Mr.. Baird is now consulting with the
! labor organizations and there is every
! likelihood that their rules will be
amended in order to conform to the law,
or else the organizations, themselves,
/ win pass out of existence. Practically
| all OF the business combinations, such
as the plumbers trust have been brok-
en-. The bicycle dealers were approach
| ed several days ago and warned that
| they could not enforce any rules which
would tend to restrict trade or interfere
with the rights of others. Mr.. Baird
was assured that as soon as a meeting
could be called steps would be taken
! to dissolve the obnoxious rules
! The jOurneymen carpenters and
| bTicklayers have also been warned.
| This is a very important action by the
Federal officials here and it will have
| immense influence upon labor and
| building interests in the territory. Mr..
| Bairds position is that while the jour-
neymen have a perfect right to enter
! into an agreement to work a certain
length of time a day, they have no right
to attempt to enforce that agreement
by leVying heavy fines on the men,
bers. They must not moreover, at
tempt to interfere with any persons
making a living, even though he should
violate their laws about length of time
to work u day. The right to earn a
living is guaranteed every man and if
he is willing to work ten or twelve or
fourteen hours a day that is his own
concern. His associates can not try to
prevent it by levying fines.
The situation was explained to lead
ing members of these two organiza-
/, lions. Meetings will be called within
a few days and suitable action to con-
! form to the law taken. Whether the
organizations will pass out of exist
/ ence is a matter for the members to
( settle. If they decide that they can
! maintain their organization without
penalizing members who violate the
various agreements, there should be no
particular cause for their disbanding.
Other trade organizations will be noti-
fed this week so that they can make
necessary changes in their constitu-
tiOns.
