gas. 1t was soon noticed that on that
part of the arm that was unaffected by
the disease the growth Of hair was
much stimulated, and this naturally
suggested oxygen as a cure for bald
ness.
The first experiment was made upon
woman who had completely lost her
hair, and it was found that after few
weeks treatment there was quite .
strong growth.
The gas has also been found bene-
fetal for weak eyes, and il used in q
similar manner, hollow flexible cup
being placed over the upper part Of
the face. This is connected by means
of an india rubber tube to small gas
bag and is worn day after day until
cure is effected.
But by far the greatest service that
oxygen is to perform is in the cure of
consumption. The patients inhale the
gas for ten hours every day and find
almost imme diate relief. The germs
OF the disease cannot exist in Oxygen
alone, though in common air they null
tiply rapidly. This is. at prese Mt, the
only weak point of the system, for Il
is found that in practice the patient
loses during the night almost all the
benefit that he has derived from the

After pause he glanced at the tele-
graph wires overhead and remarked:
Il have no doubt that it will not be
many years before the perfection of
wireless telegraphy will do away with
all those unsightly blurs on our rural
landscapes"
II hope SO" she replied. Then, with
. rueful glance at her tattered skirt,
she added: "And further hope that
the same genius will go on making
progress in that line until we are
blessed with an era of wireless fences. !"

the fullest and most complete liberty
for each and every person to work out
his own salvation upon any line that he
pleases. The degrading notions of men
and women as machines is far from our
ideals of life.
"Anarchism has nothing to do with
future governments or economic ar
engagements. We do not favor any par
ticular settlement in this line, but
merely ask to do away with the pres
ent evils. The future will provide
these arrangements after our work has
been done. Anarchism deals merely
with social relations, and not with
economic arrangement"
The speaker then deprecated the
idea that all anarchists were in favor
of violence or bomb throwing. She de-
clared that nothing was further from
the principles they support. She went
on, however, into a detailed explana-
ton of the different crimes committed
by anarchists lately, declaring that the
motive was good in each case, and that
these acts were merely matter Of
temperament.
Some men were so constituted, she
said, that they were unable to stand
idly by and see the wrong that was be-
ing endured by their fellow mortals.
She herself did not believe in these
methods, but she did not think they
should be condemned in view of the
high and noble motives which prompt

London. November o.--Durlng the lengthy

Washington, November e.--The IsthmisH
canal commission will meet next Tuesday
to add the finishing touches 10 its report.
II can be stated by authority that the
commission has not reported up to this time
10 favor Of either Of the Nicaraguan OF the
Panama projects, Consequently the ques-
ton has not figured before the cabinet and
the administration has not expressed pref
erence for either route.
1t is expected that the commission Will
rot undertake either 10 accept or reject
the proposition OF President Hutin, looking
to the acquisition by this government Of
the Panama Canal company's concessions.
However, II will lay the proposition before
the president and congress.

which congress heretofore has regarded the

Members Are Affected by Il.

Washington, November cit would seem
now that If the surplus is to be reduced
the reduction will have TO be made on
the war taxes on whisky, beer and 10
bacco. This wiz be done to lessen all pos
slbility OF disturbing the customs tariff.
The high tariff men, who are said to have
the ear OF the admins ration, are advanc
ing this suggestion though President Roosc-
welt is SAID personally TO hold to the views
expressed by his late predecessor, for q
wise and judicious reduction cf the tariff
on the lines Of reciprocity treaties.
Five Of the leading members of the com
mlitee on ways and means have conversed
With the president during the past few
days and the burden Of their talk has been
that The tariff should not be molested
either directly or through the instrument

bers Of the committee who have seen the
president are Messrs. Payne Of New York
Dalzel of Pennsylvania Grosvenor OF Ohio
Russell OF Connecticut and Steel of In

itself into a struggle between the repub.

John Weir. fraternal delegate from
the British Trade Union congress to
the American Federation of Labor
convention. which was held In Louis
VILE recently. was born in 1851. in n
mining village In the Scottish lowlands
called Parkneuk. situated in the county
Of Fife. Both his parents were mine
workers, In mine which was then the
property OF Lord Elgin, and having
attended school until he was IL years
OF age. he also went to work in the
same mine, to help support his wild
owed mother In 1872 he was chosen
to represent the Elgin colliery on the
executive board of the Fife and Kin
ross Miners Union. and in 1876 he was
appointed permanent president of that
body. Two years later he resigned In
order to accept position In large
paper mill In England. His stay In
that part OF the country was destined
to be brief, for the Fife miners In the
death OF their old secretary invited Mr..
Weir to accept the vacant ONCE. This
he consented to do and since Septem-
ber. 1880, he has performed that duty
with credit to himself and great ad-
vantage to the cause. In 1884 he was
elected a member OF the Dumferline
school board, and at the general elec-
tion Of 1892 was requested to stand
election to represent western Fife in
