IS CANCER INOCULABLE.

The dispatch from our San Francisco correspondent to the effect that Dr.. Gustave Eisen of that city became af- fected with cancer as a result of some laboratory experiments, revives the new theory concerning the inoculable prop critics of that disease.
 A proof of such a possibility would be very strong argument in favor of the germ propagation of the ailment. but unfortunately the experience of the medical profession is entirely on the other side.
 The highest medical authorities are almost unanimously of the opinion that cancer as such. is never communicated from one individual to another. If the contrary were the fact almose every surgeon accustomed to operate on ma lignant growths would in conseuence of accidental wounds received in his work be ready victim to the specific poison.
 It would appear In spite of recent bacteriologcal studies that the actual cause of malignant growthr. is still un- known. All that can be said thus far i:' that certain individuals have a spe- cial predisposition to the malady. Gen erally this proclivity is of hereditary nature Such. however, is by no means always the case. for not only do many members of given family escape, but others. in whom no such taint has ex- isted, often start the trouble de novo. Many observers believe that individual receptivity dependo upon prenatal in fluences which invite abnormal cell de- velopment at a late period of life, when nutrition is below par and when ma lignant tendencies have full sway. This would mean that the original germ, whatever it may be, is in the individual at birth, and remains latent until the period arrives for the initiation of it's progressively destructive tendencies.
 But whatever view can be taken of the real origin of the disease, it is quite certain that when once started it nev- CT spreads from one individual to an- other by contact. inoculation or air dis semination.-N. Y. Herald.

ABOUT TO ERUPT.
Italian Scientist Sayo Vesuvius VII Soon Resume Active Operations.

Prof Mttteucci, the distinguished Italian scientist and careful student of Mount Vesuvius' vagaries. predicts that new eructlon will take place in a short time. and from various indica- tions he feels satisfied 1t will be n1 slight one.
 He has considered 1t well to utter a timely warning, as experience has shown that Vesuvius. when 1t vents 1t wrath unexpectedly. does a great deal of damage to persons and property in the vicinity.
 Prof. Matteucci is no alarmist, but ba:es his prediction on the fact. which he has noticed, that various new fis- sures are now being formed near the summit of the mountain. and this in his opinion is an unquestionable proof that masses of lava and other matter soon will be again belched forth.
 His close study of the volcano during the recent eruption confirms: him in his opinion.
 Day after day he continued his in- vestigations often at the peril of his life, and as a result. the account of his work. which he has just forwarded Jo the French academy of science. con tains more facts about Ves1vius than were ever known before. He noted the daily changes that took place in the crater during the eruption. and he even measured the height which was attain ed by the great masses of igneous. mat ter after the mountain had vomitcd them forth.
 The largest of these masses ascendej to a height of 5S7 meters. and when it fell it occupied space of twelve cubic kilogrammes.
 It travelled through the air at the ra.c of eighty meters a second. and it is es- timated that force of co. 900 horse pow CT must have been required to seHJ lt on its skyward career. This enor nous mass fell dangeroue'' nea the professor. This was not the only occa- sion. however. on which he almost lost his lie. and his friends are still won dering how he managed to escape the constant sllower of fiery rocks that threatened him during the entire erup- tion.
 At ~le ti!n. it wls r'.r1rcl that hr had been killed. but happily this proved to be false. and now many are congrat- ulating him, not only on his good for tune in passing through so many perils unscathed. but also on the skill and fOrethought which have enabled him tC ascertain the time when the next erup- ton may be expected.-London Exi press.

HIS NEW DUTIES.

Policeman George A. Quackenbos, A. B. M. D.. late of the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street station, has been detailed to do plain clothes work around the battery among the imqni- grants, because he is the master of seven languages.
 Every policeman looks in awe at Po- liceman Quackenbos. One time in- structor of Latin and Greek at St Francois Xavier college, he has been a practicing physician, an accountant. a telegraph orperator and deaf mute in- structor. But when Theodore Roose- welt became police commissioner Mir Quackenbos turned to the police force as an outlet for his energies.

 The new man spent Monday on FL lis island with Capt. Halpin of the Church street station, learning the ropes. The keepers marveled, for here was a man who could tackle any Ger man. Italian. Greek. Russian. French man or Spaniard with equal ease.
 Dr. Quackenbos is regarded as the best dressed man on the force. He generally wears a well ironed high hat when not on duty. with smartly cut frock coat and waist coat, pegtop trous- CTS. patent leather shoes and spats-N Y Letter

MANSFIELD'S FIERCE SNUB.

1T. L. Higginson, Jr., son of the liberal Boston patron of music, to whose finan- cial and executive aid the Boston Sym phony orchestra owes its existence. passed through Chicago the other day en route to South Dakota on a hunting trip. The young Bostonian is a close friend of Richard Mansfield. and spent a great deal of his time with the great tragedian during his Hollis street en- gagement at the Hub.
 One evening. while engaged in con- versation with Mir Mansfield in his dressing room. the card of Thomas Bai- ley Aldrich, poet, was sent in. From Cohasset to Bunker Hill the author of Ballad of Baby Bell' is an autocfat in the aesthetic circles, and the mana gers of the theaters In Boston welcome Mir. Aldrich as an honored guest. Af- ter the poet had introduced himself 10 the actor. the following dialogue en- sued:

IN A FRONTIER SALOON
A Youth Not So Much "Tenderfoot'
 As He Seemed.

A stripling of effeminate rosness and frontier saloon. :ilent, modest, and as far out of the way as he could get. He had stepped from the train and he was waiting for the stage. It was starched linen that he wore. The city showed quite plainly in his hat, and 1t Is still in dispute whether any down was visi- ble on his lip or not. But he was old enough to be smoking cigar with all the appearance of habit. The cigar, al- so, was not native of the town. In fact, the young man made no purchase upon entering the saloon, nevertheless the proprietor could scarcely complain of him. The stranger had asked if he might wait there for the stage. and had thanked the proprietor for his permis- sion.
 Then he had sought his quiet corner and lighted his cigar.
 A citizen walked out of the back room and up to the bar. He had left faro game and the proprietor was friendly with him. but respectful. That sort of respect winch is favored deltcately with just enough familiarity to bring 1t out. It ia likely also that faro had not gone as well with him this morning as he considered his due His dissatisfied eye fell upon the rosy youth and his cigar, and he took the glass from his lips and held it. considering the stranger.
 At length, without removing his eyes, he inquired: What Christmas tree did that drop off?"
 The proprietor hastened to take this view. 'It's express tag has tiuttered away, I guess" he whispered. jocosely.
 The citizen remembered the whisky, swallowed it. set the glass down. gently drew his six-shooter. and shot the ei- gar to smash out of the young mans mouth. The rosy youth stopped down. picked up his cigar, found 1t ruined. put 1t in the spittoon, got fresh one out of his pocket. found a match in his 'waistcoat. slid 1t along the seat of his nice brooches. lighted the new cigar and settled himself once more in his chair without word of protest of an at- tempt at resentment, The proprietor SdW uo ~ anu tolu dDout u al terward.
 The citizen took the second cigar omash! like the first. Perhaps he went a trifie closer to the youths lips.
 What were the card players In the back room doing at all this noise They all lay flat on the floor. like the we'll trained Indigenous people that they were. mlnding their own business for there was no rear exit.
 The youth felt in his waistcoat pock. ct. but brought no match from 1t. So he rose with still another fresh cigar in his hand. and walked to the bar "Tll have to ask you for match" he said to the proprietor, who at once ac- commodated him.
 Once again he elij the match beneath his coat tails. and. bringing up his own i six-shooter. shot the citizen as instant ly dead as that can be done.

ROSIN EATERS.
Those Who Follow the Practice Must
 Exercise Considerable Care.

"Clay and rosin eaters are both fairly common among the poor whites in my lsection of the state," said visitor from south Georgia at one of the hotels.
 "The clay eaters are miserable degen-
 crates. who live in condition of pow erty and wretchedness that is almost
 indescribable and they claim to believe there is some nourishment in the earth
 that they swallow. At any rate. they eat it to relieve actual hunger. had
 occasion to make trip to the Flint
 river some months ago." the Georgian went on. and in looking over a piece
 of turpentine land l got away off the
 main travelled roads, One day I stum-
 bied across typical family of clay eaters, and 1 shall never forget the pie | ture of abject squalor they presented. They lived in a one-room log cabin on
 the bank of a little creek. and the household consisted of husband and
 wife. grandmother and half dozen small children. They shambled out one
 by one as l drove up. and stood around Istlessly while I got some directions
 
 gaunt as scarecrows. and two or three of the children wore nothing but shirts
 made out. of gunny sacks. Presently
 noticed the wife take down lump of clay which was sticking against the
 side of the house, roll up pellet about
 as big as marble and put it into her | mouth. l had seen the stuff eaten be- fore so l was not surprised, but I questioned her little ana sne told me it came from a bed down the creek,
 and was good for yellow jaundice, be-
 sides keeping one from 'feeln' hongry' They always keep a lump sticking against the house, and when one of the family wanted a piece he helped him self In the rear of the cabin was a
 small corn patch and an unkempt gar Gen, containing a few sweet potatoes. How the eight or nine people of the
 household kept alive was a mystery,
 but you will find many families of the same type all through that district.
 Resin eating doesn't imply such degre-
 dation. It isn't taken to alleviate hum
 ger but is merely habit acquired by
 the white cracker settlers, who live in
 the neighborhood of turpentine still The rosin they use isn't the hard, shiny
 rosin of commerce, but has been dipped out of the cooking caldron at an early
 stage of the process. and when 1t cools 1t can be kneaded between the fingers like wax. The backwoods rosin eater will bite off an immense chunk and chew 1t placidly until it disappears.
 The heat of the mouth keeps it fairly soft, but if the chewing becomes too deliberate it is apt to set as they say. and cement the victims jaws together in grip of iron.

 operations long enough to allow it to solidify and clamp his teeth like wise. We finally pried his mouth open with chlsel and broke couple of mo,ars in the operation. Next day I saw him chewing again. New Orleans Times Democrat.
