DEATH Turks IN KISSES.
Philadelphia Physician Warns WON.
en- Against .OscuIRtory
Practice

DIR. j. Howard Taylor, medical
inspector of the board of health of
Philadelphia, gave dissertation on
kissing the other afternoon before
large gathering of tine Woman's
Sanitary league at 1912 Walnut
street.
From the standpoint of a sani-
tartan | object to the practice of
kissing" said the speaker. kissing
is most dangerous in cases of tuber-
culosis. There is just as much risk
in touching the lips of one who has
kissed consumptive patient as in
inhaling the atmosphere breathed
by the invalid. 1t is an easy matter
to convey disease germs on the lips
of either the sick or well. The prac-
tice of shaking hands with consump-
tives is dangerous too. The germs
cling to the cloth and the hand.
'The consumptive sick. as a gen
eral rule, are somewhat captious
and they perhaps deem it a hardship
if denied the forms of affectionatt
greeting from relatives and friends
but the mortality in consumption i.
greater than in almost any Other
contagious disease. The only eXcep
tiohs that may be mentioned are bu
bonic plague and cholera among
| filthy oriental people"

TRAVEL IN MUsKETEER GUIsE
Three American Artists Touring Eu-
rope in Novel and Startling
Attire.

Three American artists who trav-
eled through northern Spain and
part of France on horseback, dressed
like the musketeers in Dumas novel,
after camping for three weeks in the
suburbs of Paris, have started out
again. This time they are going
through eastern Europe till Bulgaria
is reached. Their names are Carter,
Wainwright and Reynolds. Two
years ago the. trio went south and
later they went touring about on
horseback. Still later the love of fun
impelled the trio to dress like mus
keteers. Despite the multitudinous
annoyances brought by the strange
costumes among the disconnected
and often hostile peasant popula-
tions, the riders visited many lands
Wainwright says he married the
daughter of Spanish smuggler,
who, after travelling with the party
few weeks, left her American hus.
band and returned to her people.

zoLAREGAINs RANK IN LEGION
Restoration of His Cross in Legion OF
Honor Is Due TO Recent Ann
nesty Decree.

Emile Zola has been restored to his
rank of officer of the Legion of
Honor, of which he was deprived at
the time of his sentence in connec-
tion with his championship Of Capt.
Dreyfus, a sentence which, it may be
remembered, compelled him to seek
refuge in England to escape impris-
onment.
His restoration to the Legion OF
Honor is consequent upon the decree
of amnesty passed by the legislature
recently, and he has just received
from the council of the order official
notice of the restoration of his cross.
The eX-prisoner of Devils Island
had quarreled so bitterly with Col
Picquart, who sacrificed his brilliant
military career to champion his
cause, and with Maitre Labori who
so eloquently defended him at the
court-martial of Rennes, being shot
for his pains, that they are no longer
on speaking terms with him.

GIVES ANCIENT POTTERY.
Stanley McCOrmicIs Makes Present of
5000 Pieces to Field Column
bian Museum.

Three thousand pieces of prehistoric
Pueblo pottery, forming one of the
finest collections of the kind in the
world, have just been presented to the
department of anthropology in the
Field Columbian museum, at Chicago,
by Stanley Mccormick, who has spent
many thousands of dollars in promot-
ing the work of excavating in the an
cient ruins of Arizona and New Mex
leo.
The collection, together with similar
material collected Ivy c. l.. Owen when
with the Mccormick Hopi expedition
of 1900, occupies an entire hall in
the museum. The greater part of the
pottery was gathered by Mr. Wat
tron, sheriff of Navajo county, Ariz.,
who had men eXcavating for him for
more than three years. He has held
the collection at $4,000. but through
>the efforts of Curator G. a. Dorsey, of
the Field museum, il was secured at a
smaller figure.
The pottery, which contains 5000
pieces of all shapes and sizes, was
taken from series of ruins extending
from Sikatli, an ancient Hopi ruin, to
Howilluh, a prehistoric Zuni ruin in
New Mexico. The vessels are found
for the most part in ancient graves,
and their age can only be coniectured
1t is certain, however, that they were
made more than GOO years ago by the
ancestors of the present Moki Indians.
Among the many hundreds OF pieces
are some which the scientists regard
as extremely rare and valuable. One
of these is a bowl-shaped vessel, dec
GRATED with green paint and highly
glazed. AS il is estimated that a tenn
perature of more than 1000 degrees
would be necessary to produce such
glazing, the investigators are at a loss
to know how the Indians found means
to accomplish the task.

MONSTER COBRA MOUNTED.
Valuable Addition to the Collection
mt the National Museum at
Washington.

There has just been received at the
national museum from the New York
Geological park monster king cobra,
only equalcd in size in this country by
the one still remaining alive in New
York. These snakes generally meas
ure scant six feet, but the one here
is over II feet long. 1t is otherwise
remarkable specimen, and much val
ued by the experts at the museum.
The skin has been removed and pat
into alcohol and the skeleton mounted
for the other department of the mu-
scum.
This species of the cobra is exceed
ingly rare, and the two, the one just
presented to the museum, and its
mate. still in the Geological park in
New York. could not now be replaced.
On account of the thousands of
deaths in India annually, the govern
ment of that country has offered II
small premium for the head of each
poisonous snake, and this has led to
the partial extinction of the cobra,
and the king cobra was never much
in evidence. There is, however. only
a low class of Hindoos who will en-
gage in the killing, as the cobra is re-
garded by the natives with supersti-
tlouS reverence, as a divinity power
full to injure, and therefore to be pro-
pitiated. Thus. often, when found in
their houses il is often fed and pro-
tected, or gently captured and carried

ENGLISH VIEW OF YACHT RACE
london Field Says British Sportsmen
Long Ago Admitted America Was
TOO Many for Them.

The London Field, commenting
upon the forthcoming races for the
America cup, says:
"The average British sportsman
long ago arrived at the conclusion
that our American cousins are one
too many for us at the yacht game,
and most yachtsmen refuse to accept
the hardy ANNALS offered as apollo
gies for successive defeats"
1t then proceeds to point out that
Shamrock /. was an untried boat,
and that her designer, Mr.. Fife, had
had no experience of the American
system of measurement, and her
builders, Messrs. Thorneycroft, no
experience of yacht-building.
"The chances of Shamrock H." it
says, "are better, since Mr.. Watson
has had considerable designing >ex-
perience, but the builders, the Den
nys, are absolutely inexperienced in
yacht building"

GREWsOME RELICS
Excavations in the Strand Lay
Bare Part of Ancient London.
Gtaveyards Opened Up and Many His
toric Remains brought to Light
-Workmen Find Clay Pipes
Used Centuries Ago.

A curious stratum of ancient Lon
don has been unearthed during the
recent work of widening the Strand
around the churches of ST. Clement
Danes and st. Mary lie Strand.
The graveyards have been surround
ed by high boardings for weeks past,
and throughout the daytime men have
been working at eXcavating old
graves. Many historic remains have
thus been brought to light, boxed
carefully and removed at night to
more appropriate resting ground.
The strictest secrecy has been
maintained regarding the identity of
the bodies thus exhumed. Through
out the day not a vestige of the ac-
tivity is apparent inside the boarding,
and tarpaulin is even stretched
across its open space to prevent in
quisitive spectators from surround
ing windows from seeing anything.
In addition to famous vaults opened,
the workmen recently came across
the burial ground OF victims of the
great London plague, huddled to-
gether in trenches.
Another grewsome find in connec-
tion with these trenches was a num-
Der of short clay pipes, which are
known to have been used by the grave
diggers, who regarded tobacco smoke
as a certain protection against infcc-
ton. These pipes are scarcely larger
than an ordinary cigarette holder
Some, indeed, which have been
cleaned, are now actually in use
among friends of the excavators as
cigarette holders.
When the authorities discovered tlS
use made of the grewsome find every
effort was made to obtain possession
of the pipes presented to outsiders,
but it is more than probable not half
were recovered.

GIGANTIC EUROPEAN TRUST.
Every Linen-Spinning Concern on
Continent to Unite i'm Effort to
Raise Price of Yarn

Information concerning the forma-
tion of what amounts to a gigantic
trust embracing every linen-spinning
concern on the continent of Europe
has reached the state department in
report from United States Consul
Mahin, at Reichenberg, Austria. For
some time, says the consul, it has
been understood that the Austrian.
German and Belgian spinners of linen
thread had decided to unite in re-
duction of product. From Paris has
come the news that the French spin
ners also are to join in reducing the
output Of the mills. The object is
believed to be to steady, and pos
sibly to enhance, the price of linen
yarn. Makers of linen cloth have,
during the fall and winter, suffered
from the high price of yarn, and this
enormous combination will make
conditions still worse, says the con

BEATS SUGAR CANE.
Beets Produce More Than Half
Sugar Crop of World.
Rapid Development in the Indust-y
Since 1910 Consumption of
Sugar Is Fully Eight Times
as Much as I'm 1870.

The rapidly increasing share of the
worlds sugar consumption which is
supplied from sugar beets is pointed
out by a publication in the Monthly
Summary of Commerce and Finance,
just issued by the treasury bureau of
statistics. Under the head of THE
Worlds Sugar Crop of 1900" 1T shows
that the total beet sugar production
of that year was 5,950,000 tons and
the cane sugar crop 2,S5o,oo0 tons,
more than two-thirds of the worlds
sugar supply being thus produced
from beets. This statement is fol-
lowed by table showing the cane and
beet sugar production in each decen-
NAL year beginning with 1910 and the
percentage which these rival sugar
plants have in supplying the sugar
consumption of the world. This
table shows that in 1910 beets sup
piled less than five per cent. of the
worlds sugar consumption; by 1850
they supplied over IA per cent; by
1870, "a per cent; by 1890, over So per
cent, and in 1900, 67.71 per cent.
The growth of sugar consumption
is also shown in striking manner by
this table. In 1910 the total sugar
crop of the world was only 1,150,00C
tons; in 1870, 2,416,O00 tons; in 1890,
5.7O2,O tons, and in 1900, s,s00,o0O
tons. The worlds population has no
more than doubled during the &C
years, probably not so much; yet its
consumption of sugar is to-day fully
eight times as much as in 1910.
The article in question begins with
n statement from the London Statist
to the effect that but single factory
in all the United Kingdom now re-
fines cane sugar, all the others being
exclusively occupied in preparing for
the market the raw product of the
beet farms of Germany, France, Aus
tria ard Russia.
The worlds consumption of sugar
in 1900 was s,2oO,OOo tons.

worlds production of beet and cane

to 1900 and the percentage which beet

Montisel's Foundry Goes Up in
Smoke EARLY Sunday
Morning.
A HEAVY LOSS TO OWNER AND
TOWN.

Just little before two O'Clock last
Sunday morning fire was discovered in
Montigel's foundry and machine shop
and the alarm was at once turned in by
Nightwatch Bodine. The firemen aud
citizens responded as quickly as possible
at that time of night, but before the
hose carts reached the fire it was seen
that nothing could save the main build
ing, the upper story of which was an
entire mass of flames. Three streams
OF water were soon brought into use
and by untiring efforts the warehouse
and other buildings close by were saved
as were also the books and papers in the
office where continual stream of water
was keptat play.
just how the fire originated is n mys.
terry and although it is known that it
first started in the north part of the
building whore the boiler room was
located, Mr.. Montigel had been burn
ing coal, and It docs not hlrdly seem
possible that it could have caught from
any spark.
The plant was the best of its kind in
TINS part of the state and fully equipped
with modern machinery, ploVs, slclghs,
steel rollersand other implements aud
machinery being manufactured, while
al kinds of custom work was done.
The building was an old land mark,
although very substantially put up. The
business, which was one of our foremost
was established in 1871, 10y
Mr.. Montigel's father and has been con-
tinued in the family ever since.
Ii is "a very serious loss to Mr. Monti-
gel at the present time just when he
has reached the prime of life and had |
placed the business on profitable basis
Besides all the valuable machinery and
tools, all the stock being manufactured
was lost, fifty pair OF sleighs a, one item
which had just been completed, were
entirely destroyed. The workmen also
lost all Of their tools.
In all probabilities the plaut will be
rebullta as Mr.. Montigel has too much
property left that was not de-
5troyed, for him to seek another loca-
ton. We understand that there was
only $500 insurance and it is hoped
hat he will experience no difficulty in
securing the whole amount.
