FINE FLOUR BAD FOR TEETH.
British Dentist Thinks II the Cause Of
Dental Carries.

AT the annual meeting Of the Brit
ISL Dental association Mr.. Thomas
q. Read read paper on Seine Chem
zeal Changes in the Mouth During the
Mastication Of Bread Composed Of
Roller Four" and eontended that the
increase in dental carries during the
past 10 years was due TO roller.milling
having largely replaced stone milling,
and argued that modern bread itself
directly caused the destruction OF
tooth tissue, as there was a greater
amount OF acid generated in the
mouth during the m~astication Of
bread composed Of roller flour than
when composed of stone-milled. 1t
appeared that wherever the roller mill
was in operation carious teeth were
found, instead Of the sound ones Of
the days Of the stone mill.
II has been noticed in various parts
of the world that natives in the in
terror had better teeth than those in
the towns and those neal the coast.
1t was found on testing acid that the
roller -four breadholus was much
more acid than the other. Mr.. Hugh
Candy, chemist to the London hos
pital, having tested both kinds Of
bread, reported that he found in the
case Of the bread composed Of stone
mi.led flour that the acidity remained
stationary; whereas in the case Of the
bread composed Of roller flour masti-
cation appeared TO promote an in
crease OF 40 per cent. in the acidity.
Dentistry, said Mr.. Read, was a lib
eral profession, and besides correct
ing the rayages Of dental carries, il
was their duty TO endeavor to prevent
dental carries occurring. After a long
discussion it was decided that Mr..
Reads paper should have the careful
consideration Of the profession.-

PERSIAN CARPET WEAVING.
All Done by Boys from Eight to Twelve
Yea.s OF Age.

A replica of the famous carpet from
the Mosque Of Ardabil, which is now
preserved in the South Kcnsington
museum. London, is being made at
Tabreez. Persia, the center Of the car
pet-making industry Of that country.
The towering and designing Of this
carpet are absolutely unique. a hand
painted design of the original has
been furnished TO the Persian weay-
ers, and so ~skillfully is the work being
carried out that it is stated by the
English consul general that when
completed il will be equal in every re-
spcct to the original carpet, so faith
fully is the work being reproduced.
both with regard to coloring and de-
tail. The carpet is being woven by
boys ranging from eight to twelve
years Of age. They ST in serriod rows
before their looms. Their method Of
procedure is to pull the wool from Il
reel suspended above their heads in
their left hands, and with a fiat knife
provided with acrooked point in their
right dash the thread, with three
movements. through the web strings,
hook it into the desired knot, cut OF
the surplus ends and start another
knot. The work is carried out with
such remarkable rapidiiy that it is
almost impossible to follow the move
ments Of the weaver. Before setting
to work the woavers closely study the
painted design which they have to re-
produce and then depend largely upon
their memories to enable the work to
be completed. Their memories are SO
reliable that it is very seldom they
will refer back to the painted design.
When working upon a complicated
pattern the foreman Of the loom-a
boy about II years Of age-walks up
and down, calling out in a curious
monotone the number Of stitches and
the colors Of the threads 10 be used.
The Persian rugs and carpets are
made by hand throughout, and none
but vegetable or natural dyes are en-
ployed. 1t is TO this fact that the
longevity and durability Of the Per-
sian rugs are attributable, especially
in connection with the colorings.-

A medical man recently published
A letter in which he stated that he
had been called in by several married
ladies who said they suffered from q
peculiarly irritable kind of headache
which had recently begun TO trouble
them. The husbands Of nearly all of
them told him privately that they had
never found their wives so disagrce-
ably snappish-anything seemed TO
annoy them, especially when they had
their hat. on. When the correspond
ent in question asked TO see these hats
he found them very much alike

ORCHID HUNTING.
Shooting Big Game a Safer Venture In
Comparison

Probably very few people have any
.dea that orchid hunting, like lion or
tiger hunting, is a dangerous sport.
The strange beauty Of the flower. and
the high prices which they bring are
the subject Of common comment. but
the fact that the beauty is sometimes
fatal and that the price is the reward
Of labor that is both strenuous and
perilous is little known outside the
trade.
On a calculation Of chances. how
ever, it would appear that shooting
big game is a safe venture compared
with the search for these lovely para
sites of tropical vegetation. An arti-
Gle in Harmsworth's Magazine gives
a striking story in point. II relates
that Of eight orchid hunters who left
Tamatave, Madagascar, TO look for
specimens seven persisted within
year, while the eighth barely man
aged TO escape from the islands
swamps with his health ruined.
II is in such places that the search
must be pursued, and men have lost
their lives in the work not only in
Madagascar, but in Mexico, Brazil,
Ecuador, Venezuela and Sierra Leone.
Nor are the risks those Of climate
alone. II may be necessary TO deal
with wild animals while on a quest
for the wild flowers, and there are gem
orally hostile natives to be placated.
All that the adventures Of old under.
went when they penetrated the new
world to seek the fountain Of life and
fabulous mines Of gold may fall to The
lot OF these Adventures Of later day.
The romance is reduced, however.
10 n plain business proposition. Many
OF the men are sent out by regular
dealers, who pay them for their serv.
ices. For the person who puts the
capital into the enterprise there are
chances for large profits, but it /,
said that a fortune is more likely to
be lost than won in these orchid spec.
ulations. The value Of the flowers
consists largely in their rarity. and on
a rapidly stocked market prices may
fall from many pounds to a few shil-
lings within a short period.-Chicugo

boards of trade and other commercial

Safety Devices.
A Bill TO Compel Railroad Companies 10

The bill introduced IN the Leglsa-
ture by Senator Berkelbach to com
pei railroad companies to equip loco
motives and tracks with safety devices
that will put on the airbrake and stop
a train in case an engineer is negligent
or i'll. and fails to properly notice a
signal, is creating some comment in
railroad circles.
"This is no new matter to u.s." said
a prominent official of the Pennsyl-
vanla railroad in reviewing Senator
Berkelbach's effort. ain the first place,
we always look at the principle in the
thing. We believe in thorough disci-
pline among our employees, and depend
upon their watchfulness and faithful
ness. We have had plenty of devices
such as Mr.. Berkelbach proposes offer.
ed to us, and have rejected them.
The scheme is something like this: In
case drawbridge is open and the
engineer fails to heed the semaphore
signal, or the light, projection will
rise in the track, strike lever or some
device on the engine and this in turn
will operate the airbrake. The train
will then be stopped. We had some
thing on the same plan made years
ago when l was at Altoona. After
experimenting for some time the COM
pany decided not to use it.
at has been our experience, and
that of all other railroad men who
have carefully studied the subject, that
such mechanical devices tend to make
the engineers and other employees care.
less. 1t helps to destroy that fine
discipline and wide-awake, always-on
the e-lookout plan that is so strong
among our men. The engineer will
feel that, even if he should miss q
signal, the automatic alarm will STOP
him so he will not be overcareful
That would be fatal. The cost o.
equipping railroads would not be great
l do not think Mr.. Berkelbach's bill
will pass"
