Marrying, while still almost a child, the nature loving girl decided to have plenty of animal companionship henceforth, and at once began to cherish and study cat and dog pets. Her husband being a travelling man. away from home much of the time, Mrs. Nicholson says she began to "amuse herself" by treating the sick animals of her neighbours; her love for the little people" of the ami nal world gave her splendid success in this direction. Just how and when the idea of professional study in the line of veterinary surgery took possession of her mind she hardly knows. But two years ago she determined upon this course of action. and entered Chi. cago Veterinary College, from which she will graduate next March. Much previous study, informal but thorough

The great value of salt as an anti septic and the fact that nature appears to have made 1t an essential ingredient In the food of nearly all animals have made the medical profession very hos. pitable toward new theories or discov- cries regarding its therapeutic quail ties. The doctors In fact are never un- prepared for the announcement of some extraordinary cure effected by the use of this widely distributed con- pound. That pneumonia can be cured by pumping an per cent sodium chloride solution at temperatures rang ing from 120 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit into the lungs, however, naturally tax es the credulity of most physicians. This achievement was announced by Dr. w. Byron Coakley, of Chicago, in a paper read by him before the Amer lean Medical Association at the recent convention at Saratoga. That such a saline solution would be death to all bacteria and would also have an anti septic effect upon diseased tissue will be readily conceded. It Is a question of getting the solution into the lungs in such a way that the patient could stand the treatment. Dr. Coakley claims to have solved this problem by the use of an instrument invented by himself, which introduces the solution into the lungs through punctures made by fine gold needle. After the salt solution destroys the bacteria and cools to the temperature of the body 1t is claimed that 1t Is absorbed In the blood and does not clog up the lungs. In doing this 1t protects the red corpuscles against destruction by the poisons of pneumonia. Physicians are naturally skeptical regarding the effectiveness of this treatment, for the reason that in the attempts that have been made to wash out the lungs with salt solutions the patients have been unable to stand 1t. The demonstrations before the as- sociation at Saratoga, however, are claimed to have shown the Coakley method to be success. If future tests should more firmly establish the effect iveness and practicabllity of his treat ment Dr. Coakley will have scored a great advance in medical science and will have conferred great boon upon humanity.

MILLIONS FROM COTTONSEEO.
What Was Once Deemed a Nuisance Is
 Now a Source of Profit.


 Now a Source of Profit.
 One of the romances of the census Is the story of the cottonseed oil and the millions of dollars 1t yields annual ly, where few years ago the seed was a nuisance, outlawed by the States of the cotton belt. In the Mississippi laws of 1857 was one imposing fine of $20 for every day that cottonseed was left around a ginhouse to menace public health.
 In 1870 process for extracting oil from cotton seed had been discovered, and a product worth $l4.0OO was realized. What was deemed nui- sance in 1857 continued to prove valu- able, through invention, until In the census year of 1900 1t gave a return to the mill operators of over $42, All ,000. Cottonseed oil Is used on the table, rivaling that of the olive and threat ening to drive the latter from the mar ket. The oil also enters into soap and butter making, says the New York Commercial, and is burned in miners lamps The hulls are used in making paper, fuel and fertilizer, while enor nous quantities of the seed itself find a market as food for cattle.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier just prior to his recent departure to Europe spoke of the Alaskan boundary question as se- rious danger to British and American relations and a menace of open con- tiict." It need not become menace, however, unless the British government seeks to make 1t such. It is Great Brit ain, not the United States, which in this instance Is seeking to alter boundary lines. Briefly stated, the British con- tention is that the boundary of south eastern Alaska, Instead of following a line ten marine leagues (thirty-four and one-half statute miles) from the coast line proper, leaps from headland to headland at a distance of ten leagues from the outlining capes and promon- tories. Such a line would bring the British boundary much nearer the Pa citic and would give Great Britain con- trol of important estuaries and f1ords leading to the sea. This claim, which was never advanced until 1898, Is not supported either by the original trea- ties, by the maps and charts of cartog-
 
 raphers or by any argument recogniza- ble to reason. The United States pos sessions In this territory are precisely what the Russian possessions were prior to their purchase and the mean ing of the original treaty negotiated between Russia and Great Britain in 1925 Is unmistakable. It must be pat ent to the State Department that there can be no yielding of American rights on this point. The boundary question, 1t Is said, Is about to be brought up again for final negotiations. Whatever may be required to secure a common survey of the boundary and friendly demarcation of the line with scientific accuracy should be done; but from the essential point at issue there can be no recession. The evidence in support of the American claim is overwhelming.

MOSQUITO MUST LEAVE NEW JERSEY

The state will pay for the work of re-
search, but that of reclaiming must at
first be largely done through individual
enterprise Prof. Smith believes that
when he has made a report of his further
Investigations the state will shoulder also
part of the cost of reclaiming the lands
The work of research will be divided
into three branches First will be that of
a survey. To drain the hundreds of sep
arate marshes in the mosquito territory
will require the meeting of almost as
many special conditions. Each marsh
will have to be surveyed and the proper
method of treatment accurately ascertain
ed. In this work the assistance of the
geological survey of the state will be en-
listed, the territory mapped and plans of
action laid out. A good deal of the ma
terial for this work has already been fur
mShed by the general survey of the state
In their chronological aspect, the life
history and habits of the various species
of mosquitoes will be studied fully, partic-
lar attention being paid to then distribu-
tion of the species. OF apparently little
value, the facts secured about the insect
will, nevertheless; in many cases point at
once to an easy method Of getting RID of
them.
The third division of the work Is the
pathological. In order to take immediate
steps against the particular breed of mos
quito that spreads disease a special study
of the insect in the malarial districts and
of conditions in these districts will be
made Prof Smith also believes that
there are outside factors in the spread
of disease through mosquitoes that are

not yet known, and he will try to find
them.
An idea of the difficulties that confront
investigators is got when it is realized
that there is not just one kind. of mos
quito with regular habits, but that there
are nearly a score of species, grouped into
two genera Every species has it's pc
culiar habits and without an intimate
knowledge of these thousands of dollars
might be spent almost uselessly. For
instance, in some localities only practi-
cally harmless mosquitoes breed. The
harmful ones have come in from dis
tance. One species breeds in salt water
only, and still a third in either salt or
fresh water. One species will fly for
twenty miles. Another will never go more
than few feet from the spot where it
is born.
One whole genus is accused of carrying
bacteria. Another is never known to have
a dangerous germ about it. One species
stays around houses while another never
leaves the woods, and still others are
found in the marshes only In some kinds
the perfect insect emerges four or five
days after the egg is laid. In-others the
larvae live in the water from September
10 May. In some cases the perfect in
sect lives only a few days; in others it
hlbernates from autumn till late spring in
cellars and barns Some localities are
bothered with species that are never seen
IN others, and some specie are plentiful
IN places where they never breed.
Operations on Il Gigantic Scale,
Taking these various conditions into
consideration Prof. Smith has decided
that the only really satisfactory wav to

is to operate on large scale and in a
way that will be permanent He does
not deny the value of using Kerosene oil
