BOVINE VS.. HUMAN TUBERCULOSIS.

DR.. Koch's new theory that human
beings are immune from contagion
from tuberculous cattle has stirred up
wide discussion and some vigorous cp-
position in the medical world. 1t was
vigorously disputed in the British
tuberculosis Congress.
AS Prof. Koch, himself, did not adj
vance the theory as anything else but
a theory and not as settled fact, the
heated nature of the discussion is diff
ficult to understand. Prof Koch did
not positively endorse the idea that
human beings were immune from con-
tagion from tuberculous cattle, but that
experiments had led him to believe that
they were.
Meanwhile laymen will agree with
Ear Spencer, vice president of the Tu-
5erculosis Congress, who, while hoping
that DR.. Koch was right. hoped more
that the dissemination of such views
would not cause laxity on the part oil
dairymen and cattle owners, or less
vigilance by the authorities charged
with protecting the consumers of milk

coaxed and showed, with instructions
to hold on and keep still whatever hap
pened. A thousand other natives saw
them off, and all along the line were
spread little groups of Alligator men
who screamed a welcome as the train
swept by.
1t was probably the strangest collec-
tion Of passengers ever carried on o
railroad train. AS soon as the run
started the whistle of the locomotive
footed a joyful accompaniment to the
rattle Of the wheels. The blacks be-
gan their peculiar strill cries, partly
in fear and partly In admiration, and
waved their arms about their heads
as the speed increased. The children
munched dandelion seeds and clung
to their mothers, and two old women
crooned a solemn chant and held their
heads in their hands, afraid to look up.
At the head of the first car was an old
chief standing erect with his arms
folded and ready to meet the death
he believed the white people had
tricked him into.
Gradually getting used to the novel
motion and with an increased sense OF
security, the majority became reas
sured, and by the time Alice River
was reached nearly all We're supreme

swarmed out Of the cars, sounded the
wheels, pointed to the position of the
sun in the heavens and marveled at
the distance they had come in such
little time, and wound up with a gen.
eral plunge into the cool waters of the
river.
There was no need to coax them into
the cars for the return trip. With the
exception of the two old women, who
deserted the expedition despite all ap.
peals and decided to walk back, all
clambered merrily aboard and were
run back along to Port Darwin singing
their corroborees and love hymns.

The SEA OTTER.

Cursed with a skin that charms the eye
All shot with satin sheen,
More worth than pearl OF lazuli,
The pride of King and Queen.
"A coat that not the equal heft
OF minted gold can buy
he lives TO be of life bereft,
To seek a sanctuary.
A hunted thing, he breads the shore.
And shuns the haunts of men.
From Attu to the Chernaboor
he dwells without their ken;
He harbors where no harbors are,
Upon the oceans breast,
On seaward RATS Of weed afar
he snatches troubled rest.
But when the winter tempests lash
The sullen northern sea,
The leaping rips and races thrash
And herd him to the lee
OF ranks Of surfswept islets trailed
Athwart the swirling tides,
Where, by the budding mist.wreaths
yelled,
The harried otter hides.
Then to his guest the hunter hastes
Upon the dying gale.
To speed across the watery wastes
Of hvid ridge and vale
Part man, part water-imp, and part
The otter's next-ofkin,
None other has the hardwon arta
To take the velvet skin.
In his bidarka, willow-ribbed,
And wrapped with walrus hide,
Lashed watertight and snugly cribbeu,
He launches on the tide
Toward the snarling reefets trimmed
About with milk-white surge,
Where, voiced by reeling waves, is hymned
His quarry's echoing dirge.
With net or club in stealthy strife,
With spear in open war,
The crafty Aleut seeks his life
By ocean, coast, and bar.
The changing pillows call to him,
Their long-drawn anthem peals
Whence over Saanak's fretted rim
The burgomaster wheels.
Banned with a coat of glossy hair
A Gar may not despise,
A shimmering silk without compar
The lust of princely eyes,
OF mandarin and potentate
The dearest hearts desire,
He only lives to fee his fate,
a shelter to require.

The lake was deep at that point, and
although we made considerable effort
to recover the ring, it was not to be

good deal, and the next year she would

called down to me presently that there
were remains Of fish.hawk's nest in
the forks OF the tree, and, putting this
and that together, l came to the con-
clusion that the hawk had caught the
fish that had gobbled up my wifes
ring in the lake, and had taken it to
the nest for the young hawks. They
didn't care for jewelry and had left
that part OF the fish in the nest, from
which, as the nest was blown to pieces
by the wind, and beaten by the storms,
the ring had dropped out and by
chance had caught on the twig where
