Professor Koch recently startled thu
world by announcing, at the congress
for the study of tuberculosis, in Lon
don, that the tuberculosis of cattle il
an entirely distinct affection from con.
sumption in man, and that the money
and labor that have been expended il
fighting the disease in cows were vast.
ed SO far as the health of man is con.
cerned. This is no new doctrine. II
is not the doctrine generally held by
physicians, many of whom regard the
drinking of unsterilized milk from tu-
berculous cows as enc of the most pro-
fife sources of consumption of the
bowels and glands in young children.
1t is in this country especially that the
belief in the non-communicabllit oil
cattle consumption to man finds its
chief adherents. 1t is based on the
facts that the incubation of human
tubercle bacili in cattle has failed to
produce tuberculosis in these animals,
and that dairymen and others who
may be in close contact with diseased
cows suffer less frequently from con-
sumption than city jewellers who have
nothing to do with cattle and seldom
or never drink milk.-Youth's Com

MINERALS IN PAlEsTTNE.

Line In Holy Land
Palestine long has been considered
interesting solely as 1.-THE Holy Land,
and the only trade which has sought
to exploit it has been that of th<
personally conducted tour. But this
may be changed soon, for valuable
mineral deposits have been dfsco~
cred beneath the historic soil A Ger
man mining engineer in Palestine has
written to his home: valuable mir
eraI treasures have recently been dis
covered in Palestine, SO it is safe to
say that the industrial awakening oil
the Holy Land is no longer dream II
is true that the greater, part of the
once hourfshing country is a barren
desert The lines of communication are
miserable, and, traffic is unsafe, aside
from the one railroad from Yafa to
Jerusalem. The newly discovered min
eral deposits lie on both sides of the
Jordan and the Dead Sea. The salt de-
posts of the Dead Sea could be devel-
oped into an industry. The waters hold
chlormagnesium, brommagnesium and
calisalt. Aside from this, there is
the bituminous chalk springs of Nebi
Musa, which contain from 80 to AZ
per cent asphalt. The most important
of all the deposits is phosphate. As is
well known, natural calkphosphate
phosphorite and coprolite are neces-
sary for the production of superphos-
pilates. This latter composition and
sulphur form the most important in
gradients in the preparation of arti-
fetal manure. At present the phosphate
mines of Florida almost supply the
worlds demand. The immense fields OF
phosphate to the east and west of the
Jordan need only better means OF
traffic and communication in order te
insure their development. This, il
would seem, is not far distant, as the
Turkish Government is planning con-
tinuation of the Yafa-Jerusalem Rail

some facts not generally known con-
corning India rubber and gutta-percha,

of elasticity distinguishes India rub
Der from gutta-percha. The latter is

India rubber is produced from more
than sixty plants. Three-fourths of
the gutta-percha of commerce comes
from Sumatra and Borneo. OF the to-

nearly two-thirds comes from the

that fish need fresh water is all wrong;
so is constant feeding with bread
crumbs and things like that The fish
gain their sustenance from the water
in which they live. Every aquarium
requires plants, as they exude Carl

you have the proper amount of plants,
