yesterday afternoon in doing nothing.
The remaining fifteen minutes was spent
in approving the payroll and bills.
The time that was consumed was spent
in discussing the proposition to permit in

Passenger and Power Company. Recently
the committee instructed the company1to
go ahead with the proposed change, US

AT THE VOLCANOES CRATER.

Americans Reached Its Brink and Were
There Photographed.
A party of Americans touring in
Mexico recently accomplished the IN
usual feat of ascending to the edge of
THE crater of Mount Popocatapeti, the
famous volcano of the North American
continent. A member of the party in
describing the trip says the crater is a
marvel and we'll worth hard journey
to see. "A huge and gloomy pit it is"
ne says, "its steep sides emitting sui
phurous smoke and fumes, and it's per-
pendicular walls descending, it is said,
to depth of 1900 feet. At the bottom
is small lake of emerald green. sur
rounded by volcanic rocks and deposits
or sulphur. At the top there is a ledge
OF rock at the crater's edge, from which
we made our observations of the crater
and upon which we were photo
graphed. I did not observe any diff
Guilty In breathing or any noticeable in
crease OF heart action, but several
members Of the party were painting
painfully and were hardly able to
speak. One of my comrades told me
that he could feel. his heart beat
through his coat and sweater. The
temperature was very cold, but it
seemed to be modified somewhat by the
natural warmth of the crater and we
were protected against the icy wind
outside"

Story from tho rKIondike.

. strangely enough, the London Week.
~ Dispatch does not appear to credit
the story which appeared in it's con-
temporary, the Express, regarding the
devastation wrought in the Klondike
by mastodon. The story as it Was
printed in the Express was dated New
York, and it said: From Dawson CITY
there comes a letter which describes
the killing of big mastodon at the
Forks after he had demolished a hotel
and several houses, tossed dogs and
horses in the air and caused men to
run for their lives. He was at last
killed by an electric wire. which he
tried to pull down. His skin alone
weighed LOO pounds. The skeleton.
which is Is feet high, is now on exhibi-
ton. One tusk weighed 217 pounds.
The town in which he was killed
looked like it had been visited by an
earthquake" The Dispatch for the in
struction of it's readers, also printed q
thrilling picture of hairy mastodon
On rampage, and it was unkind
enough to head the clipping from Tie
Express "A Very, Very Tall Story

ON THE CANCER GERM.
Or. Gaylo-d's Report OF Experiments of
Last Three Years.

DR.. Gaylo-ds Report of Experiments of
Last Three Years.
DR.. Harvey R. Gaylord, in the Amer
lean Journal of Medical Sciences, pub
fishes his official report on his expert
ments of the last three years, made
with a view to finding. the germ of can
Ger. The increase in the number of
cancer cases and the fact that it ranks
next to consumption as a cause of
death In this country, make his report
OF the greatest interest 1t is written
IN technical manner, which makes it
largely ncomprehensible to the laity,
put enough can be CLEANED from it to
give hope that the doctor really has
found the pestiferous little "protozoon'
which causes cancer. Many learned
scientists have searched for the little
rascal before, but without success. DR..
Gaylord believes that he has caught
him. In cases of well developed can
Ger the doctor discovered small trans
parent bodies which, under the micro
scope. We're observed to change their
form, increase in size and pass through
what appeared to be a spore-f forming
stage. By inoculating animals with
these protozoons the doctor was able to
produce a cancerous state in them.
one guinea pig so inoculated be-
came afflicted with "a condition
OF the lungs and the liver which
we wish to interpret as pri-
mary carcinoma of those organs
in other words, the beginning of gen.
ulne cancer. The report, which occu-
pies thirty-six pages and tells of his
experiments in detail, seems to justify
the belief that at last the germ of can
GER really has been found and "iso-
lated,' so that the disease can be trans
ferred by incubation. If that is so, an
important step has been made but the
most Important one is yet to come.
Granted that the germ of cancer has
been found, now what will kill that
germ and cure or prevent cancer? DR..
Gaylord emphatically disclaims any re-
sponsibility for the reports regarding
his experiments which have been pub
Hshed before this official one.
