Antitoxin as Cure for Diphtheria.

TI THERE Is any sure sign of the failure Of an
ttoxn and the antitoNin craze il is the rising
demand for stronger dosage to help out discovered
ihsnffcicncy. recent confession OF Dr. McCo
lunl, based upon an observation VI nearly SON
eases, has attracted the notice oi those who ar,
committed to the fad, and they join in the AIT
tloi's conclusion that the trouble il tas the
New England Medical Monthly admits). tha. phy
sirianS have been too cautious in the a,mnstra
iion of this remedy, and there are many today
who would consider 5000 units a large. and in all
cases Il sufficient dose. Observation and expert.
meht. however, have shown that as regards the
n'noun, to he used there is almost no limit the
sole aim and indication being to antagonizc the
diphthrrcic poison existing in the system. As

have no means Of deciding, and it becomes neces.

The masses ON account OF its cSorbitant price.
IT viii be difficult TO estimate the true value
OF an'itoxin until we are unable to use it without
restriction as regards both the amount and the
cost.
The manufacture of an,itoSin serum, closely
examined, however, reveals some surprising:
things. In 4 man natural immunity is supposed
TO be established by process in which the bac.
terra take some part, while the so called anti
toxin horse serum used for immunization Of man
IL elaborated in the animal by some phenomena
IN which the microbes take part: for the
toxin injected into horses j. first freed from bac-
terra. This is already a different thing When
TO this fact is added the Likewise very import
ant consideration that the horses are tested with
tubcrculin, injected with ictanus antitoxin and
further inocnacd with the malcin OF glanlars
The confusion becomes worse conoun,led, 70, sure.
~ these substances must produce some constitu.
tional chang" in the animals which are trans.
mitted to the serum. But this is not all. Not
until to some preparations of an,itoxin an anti.
septic has been added is the serum considered
finished and ready for use
When. as We know. many eases oi liphtleria are
complicated with other throat infections against
which the klGchs-Locller an,toxin serum has no
effect and when we consider the ,iirSiabishel
grounds on which the whole theory rests. il

homage to your latest day. Happy
for you If the crumbing of time
and the gnawing of the busy mice of

I've sometimes wondered If they
realized-these heroes of ours.-that
they really are heroes in our eyes If
they wouldn't give a better imitation
OF their several roles They probably
don't half appreciate the fact and thus
are forever clambcring off their pedes.

tails are slippery footholds. but it is
easier to stay on than to scramble
back after tumbling down 1t is pity
they don't fully comprehend the situa-
ton and not leave so much for their
understudies to do. We all love heroes
even II we are very enthusiastic in
trying to jar them off their perches.

half the time they don't know that we

I'd rather go on to the end of the

know our ideas of them and perhaps
We don't realize how hard We are try
ing to find out their weak points, and
so, after all. il is a great wonder that
We have any heroes left to worship or
that there are any worShippers But
We do have a great deal better time in
this world if we only manage To keep
up a few illusions and pin them fast

Color and termination of Grains

VI. llocdchci>S has recently made some ob>crva
tionS upon the relation which may exist between
the color OF grains and their e"rnnaivc value
IL is rare that the different grains OF the same
plant do not present differences in their intensity
OF col"lalion. In III" ri>c Of rye, which the cN-
pcrimcntcr has specially observed, two groups ct
grains are noticed as to color, the green and the
yellow. To these differences of color correspond
differences IN Serminaiye aptitude. TIL" green
grains appears 10 gcrmnatr NOR" quickly and
have Il greater GernnatiNc aptitude; however, it
is found that there is no apparent relal ion he
tween the color Of the grain and the Development
OF the plant formed from the latter. The plants
slrnging hom the green grains, and in uonSt-
q'icnce having come mp the sooner, seem to ar.
rive at smaller dimensions in general, and form
their grains later.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
SOUTH DAKOTA EVENTS IN A
CONDENSED FORM.
Close of a Most Successful Carnival
At Observation-Disclosures That
$4,000 Visited the City During
the Exposition.

Children's exercises Sunday closed the
guarto-centennial carnival at Deadwood.
The carnival has passed off without ac-
cidents of any kind, and the management
has received many compliments. 1t is es-
timated that $1,000 people came to the city
during the five days.
There is no telling how much real good
has been done the Black Hills by the car
nival. The crowds of interested people
were very large and it was a class of peo-
pie that wanted information about the re-
sources of the country. Had the mineral
palace been twice the size it was it would
have been crowded just tile same. Moth
ing like the exhibits, for completeness, had
ever been gotten together in the Black
Hills. The southern hills exhibited 81 great
variety of materials. The rare substances.
like spodumene, wolframite. mica, marble,
photographic stone, onyx, Fuller's earth,
fire clay, nickel ore and SUCH, were shown
from properties in the vicinity of Custer,
and they attracted considerable attention.
Lawrence County had by far the largest
collections of gold bearing ore. The Golden
Reward Company, which ranks next to
the Homestake, had IN exhibit that was
unique. Blocks Of copper metal from the
smelter were also shown. There were
numerous exhibits of copper ore taken
from the different mines in the Hills. The
Black Hills Copper Company of Benton
Harb0r, Mich, exhibited a large quantity
of gold and copper bearing ore that was
rich enough to pay for treatment, it being
taken from the 400-foot level of a 60-foot
vein. A big collection of copper ore was
also on exhibition from the famous Blue
Lead copper mine in Pennington County.
The interest taken in the various ex-
hlbits by the Colorado visitors was very
marked. There was surprise on every
hand. Even the old prospectors of the
Hills were amazed at the richness and the
variety of the ores. The mineral palace
will be left standing for the summer and
most all of the exhibits will be left just as
they were during the carnival. Deadwood
is visited every day during the summer
months by tourists, and there has long
been need of a collection of representative
ores of the Hills, that might be shown to
those interested. 1t is planned now, by
the mine owners, to erect q permanent
building in The city next fall in which to
display sample ores.
