CURE OF CANCER,
Latest Suggestion as to the Cause OF
the Disease.

Latest Suggestion as to the Cause of
the Disease.
From the New York Herald.
There appears to be no end of theories as
to the cause of cancer. Each one in turn is
announced with becoming earnestness, and
not infrequently some great name in the
medical world adds its weighty indorse-
ment to the new view. When there are so
many different opinions expressed on one
subject the inference is plain enough that
the necessary and positive facts are want
ing for final conviction. The question has
puzzled the medical profession for ages,
and is still unsettled. The latest suggestion
regarding the etiology of the dreaded disease
comes from London, and is made by a dis
tinguished British observer, who gives us
verttable scare concerning the use of
common salt in our food. The inference is
that the individual who wishes to escape
cancer should take his food without the
usual SAVIOR
This most innocent and necessary addi-
ton to our diet is thus put under the ban.
The author takes pains to tell us that wild
beasts, cannibals and people who eschew
salted pork are the only ones that escape.
If this be true the remedy Is worse even
than the disease. Considering the almost
universal use Of salt in some shape or
be SO extensively prevalent that 1t would
be difficult to find a sound person in any
particular portion Of our civilized globe
OF course there are named additional and
contributory factors of evil in the shape of
Incidence, want of due exercise, old age
what q multitude could be included in this
class! Really, no one can criticise the
learned doctor for failing to take the widest
possible grasp Of his subject

EnGineering. Old and New,

L rom the New YORK TRIBUNE.
Wonderful builders of bridges were those
old Romans, and some of their best work
still endures. And the modern Yankee is
no laggard in raising huge structures over
big rivers and broad arms of the sea- While
tn" eagles of the Caesars were carried in
triumph from Persia to Scotland from the
Baltic TO the great desert of Africa, stately
and majestic indeed were the stone arches
of the empire. But there were no tunnels
of any scop. among the ancients. This will
be century of such tunnels, and such
bridges also, as the world has never vet
known. The Titanic structures of the old
world amazed the centuries, but this prac-
teal generation is not content with prime
val methods The catacombs of this era
are not used for burial; the wide, deep, long
galleries are not dug out for the dead but
for the living The twentieth century will
tunnel many of the chief rivers of the
world wherever the interests of civilization
can be advanced by the opening Of such
caverns far below the currents of famous
streams. The tunnels under the Alps are
colossal undertakings, but every one of
them mas ample reason for the vast ex-
penditure and the prodigious labor required
And the marvels and miracles of the most
adventurous engineering of the past will
surely be excelled by the triumphs of the
engineering of the future

REFORMS IN CHINA.
Anti-Opium Crusade Undertaken b,
Governor of Shansi.

From the Shanghai Mercury.
According to a dispatch from Taiyuen
the capital of Shansi, Governor Tsen Chun-
hsun has decided to copy the example of
Vtceroy Chang Chih-tung in sending a
number of intelligent students to Japan to
get foreign education at the expense of
the Chinese government. The governor also
proposes to establish an agricultural COL
lege in Taivuenfu and has written to Vice
roy Chang Chih-tung, requesting the vice.
roy to send him copy of the regulations
of the colleges Of western sciences in Wu-
chang, and asking the viceroy's advice as
to the best methods to be used in raising
the necessary funds for running the pro-
posed college in Shansi.
Another dispatch from the same city con-
tains proclamation issued by Governor
Tsen Chun-hsun, to the following effect:
All substantive as wei as all expectant Of
ficials within my jurisdiction are hereby
warned against contracting the Injurious
and disgraceful habit of opium smoking
Those officials who have already acquired
the habit are given three months to break
1t off. AS for those whose habit is so deep
ly seated that 1t requires a longer period to
be uprooted, they are permitted to send IN
petitions. stating clearly how long time
they want to get rid of the dishonorable
habit, and | shall be only too glad to give
them an opportunity to do SO by extending
the limit prescribed in this proclamation
At the expiration Of the above period all
.ie nidsistrdees anu pFeiectS throughout
the province will be required to issue
proclamations exhorting the people in their
respective jurisdictions to follow the good
example Of the officials by abandoning the
evil habit soon possible.
Should any officials, either substantive or
expectant, be found still adhering to the
shameful habit after the prescribed lin I
or any extended limit is over, they shall be
visited with condign punishment. In future
l Will determine the merits or demerits Of
a substantive official according to the num-
Der OF smokers reformed by him within his
| Jurisdiction"

Long Life and Smoking.
7 jnla

Habitual smokers, who are frequently
told that they are slowly poisoning them
selves by the habit. will be comforted by
the knowledge that Abraham Elmer, who
has died in the United States at the age of
119. smoked for upward Of 100 years. This
is by no means solitary case of cente-
marian smokers. An instance Is recorded
in the Darlington and Stockton Times OF
December. 1856. which records the death
Of Jane Garbutt in her 10th year. and to
some time before her death how long she
had been a smoker, she replied Very nigh
hundred years" So that. like Elmer, she
must have. commenced smoking young.
Another centenarian smoker Is mentioned
by Charles Lejoncourt In his "Gaterie de
Centenaires,' where 1t is stated that Alb
raham Favrot, who lived to 1O4. always q
had pipe in his mouth.
