SCARLET FEVER SERUM.
pr. George Charlton of Montreal Ex
 plains His Discovery.

Special to the Times-Democrat.
 Montreal-Dr. George Charlton of Me Gill university, the discoverer of a serum which has been successfully used to com bat scarlet fever, today made the follow ing statement:
 "I have for now close upon two years been engaged upon a series of studies of cases of scarlet fever admitted to the Montreal hospital for infectious diseases. During the time in which I have been engaged upon this work IF cases of scarlet fever have been studied. Cultures have been taken from the tonsils and pharynx in all these cases, and strepto- cocci have been found in sixty-five of the cases examined.
 From twenty-five of the severe cases cultures have been taken from the blood during life, relatively large quantities of broth being employed for {. purpose In these I found streptococci invariably present when the blood had been obtained during the first five days of the disease. My studies convinced me that the strep- tococci leads to a secondary infection and that this infection is the cause of most of the unfavorable complications of the disease.
 The severity or lHe dlldch dppSeiiS eo be due to the concurrent or symbolic action of this micro-organism, and the causative agent of scarlet fever upon the susceptible individual, much as it has been noted that streptococcus infection renders diphtheria more severe, though the i'll effects of this symbiosis in scarlet fever appear to be still more marked.
 ''The administration of anti-strepto- coccus serum was, therefore, indicated to counteract the effect of the toxines of the streptococcus and to bring about the destruction of that organism.
 "So far since June % last l have treated fifteen cases with it. These cases were all severe and the majority of them I have no hesitation in saying, under ordinary treatment, would, if they had not terminated fatally, at least have suffered from lingering and troublesome complications AS 1t was, there were thirteen prompt recoveries, almost free | from complication. Not one of the thir- 1 teen has suffered from albuminuria nor from supperatiss otitis media. In all, upon admission to the hospital, there was involvement of the cervical glands, but in only two instances did this go on to suppuration; the usual termination was by resolution within forty-eight | hours after the insertion of serum"

sissippi valley, which we usually regard as one of the most stable parts Of the earths surface.
 There were no such things as sesmo- graphs In those days, but men who were scattered over our country felt the effects of those earthquake shocks throughout region embracing about one-third of our present territory. Seismographs would undoubtedly have recorded these earth quakes throughout the world.
 The colossal cause of one of the great est earthquakes in the past century has been quite clearly established. The As sam earthquake of 1897 was due to a movement of about 10000 square miles of the upper rocks through a distance Or sixteen feet.
 The Clutch earthquake of 1919 resulted in the subsistence of 200 square miles of country and the elevation of ridge fifty miles in length. Similarly. when the center of origin of great earthquakes has been sub-oceanic. soundings have shown that vast depressions have been formed under the sea, while coast lines have been raised or lowered. In 1922 about 100,- 900 square miles along the coast of Chile were permanently lifted about three feet.

WHERE PEOPLE SEE PEOPLE.
Street, Washington, Is a Noted
 Promenade.

From the Washington Post.
 ''I believe that F street in Washington, Is the greatest place in the world for peo- pie to stroll up and down the thorough fare and scan each other," said close observer who has travelled considerably, yesterday, as he himself walked along the well-known street. Tt seems to be understood here," he continued, that promptly at o'clock, when the weather is pleasant, there should be a general promenade. If a woman's or mans dress takes we'll on street, 1t is safe to say that the attire will pass muster any, where. As to the variety of dress, well, you may see anything on F street from the stylishly dressed millionaire's daugh- ter or wife to the schoolgirl. Many of the upper class of young ladies who have carriages at their disposal very often dis miss their coachman when shopping on street and walk from store to store, simply to mingle with the crowd and get look at the other people,
 IF street certainly beats all the other streets of other cities for this amuse- ment," he said in conclusion, "and al though I have only been here a short time, the fever has already struck me, and every day at p. m. I feel a desire come over me to dress up and start in at Fifteenth street and walk along street and back again."

WORLD SHAKING EARTHQUAKES
An Average of About Fifty of Them
 Recorded Every Year.

From the Kansas City Star.
 At recent meeting at Belfast of the British association, Professor John Milne earthquakes whose effects were felt all over the world is about fifty. Recently, however, they have been more numerous. In three years between January 1, 1893, and January 1, 1902, the number recorded was 1a6.
 It is only within the past ten or twelve years that seismologists nave been able to record fundamentally the effects of earthquakes at long distances from the place of origin of the shock The seismo- graph was invented about fifteen years ago for the purpose of recording earth movements that could not otherwise be observed
 In Japan for example, there are thou every year which are too slight to be sands of earth movements or tremors noticed by those on the ground though it is slightly moved beneath their feet. There are several forms of the seismv- graph, but the most common is a pensil tipped pendulum so delicately adjusted that the slightest earth movement where it stands is at once recorded on the paper beneath it.
 At the time of the great Japanese earthquake in 1891 it was recorded by seismograph as far away as Shanghai, China. But no one at that time supposed that the effects of the severest eartn- quake shocks were distributed through the rocks clear around the earth.
 It was not until number of seismo- graphic stations were established in Eu- rope that it was found that severe shocks occurring on the margin of the Pacific ocean could be recorded there Shocks of the greatest intensity cannot today occur anywhere without the fact being almost instantly communicated through the rocks of seismographs in all parts of the world.
 The very severe disturbances in Guate- mala in April last were recorded by the most northerly seismographs in Canada and by those of Europe
 Professor Milne says that in all cases the centre of origin of world shaking shocks lies on the Hanks or near the bases of steepest f1exures or breaks on the earths surface. Many of them occur in the abysses of the sea, and it Is usu- ally found that when these terrible shocks originate on land large areas are raised or lowered as the result of the shock
 | Thus, in Japan in 1891, a breaking down of the rocks occurred among the mountains where the disturbance orig mated. The length of this break was traced for forty miles and the area of | subsistence, which embraced the western part of the Neo Valley, sank vertically | from ten to twenty feet,
 Some Of these sunken areas permanent ly attracted drainage from the surround. ing country and remain today as lakes the memorials of a terrible period ot convulsion among the rocks of the Mis-.

Cases Against M. & O. R. R. Argued
 Before Commerce Commission.

Washington, November 13.-The long and short haul of the Aberdeen Group Commercial association, embracing number of Mississippi towns, against the Mobile and Ohio railroad was argued be- fore the interstate commerce commission today. The association, represented by Former Representative John Allen, com plained that the railroad imposed higher freight rates to Aberdeen. Tupelo, Vest point Starkville and other places from northern and eastern points than to the city of Meridian, the longer distance point The case also investigates aIlega- tions of unreasonable rates TOT the short distance.
 The railroad represented by Attorneys Williams and Russell, contended that the larger tariff for the shorter distance was justified by the competitive conditions.

 AWAIT ROOSEVELT I
Continued from FIrst Paee)

President Roosevelt. Let us get the bear before we arrange for the dinner. !" responded the President laughing heart fly. A heavily wooded ridge beyond the Little Sunhower, where there Is chance for panther as well as bear, is to be tried first. Later the hounds will be loosed in the canebrakes In the swamps on this side of the river. MT. Parker seemed almost certain that the Presi- dent will get a bear.
 s'When we strike the trail" said he. I've will follow 1t until we get what made it''
 .'That is the kind of talk I like to hear." replied the President
 Secretary Cortelyou and Dr. Lung will probably not go out after bear. but MT. Parker promises them little arduous sport in the form of deer drive. He says there are plenty of deer in the woods.
 The President and the members of the party donned their hunting clothes aboard the train in order to be ready for the horseback ride to the camp upon ar- rival at Smedes.
