CURE ron PNEUMONIA.

According TO the Chicago Record
Herald, a physician Of that city, Dr. W.,
Byron Coakley, in a paper read before
the American Medical Association at
Saratoga, announced new cure for
pneumonia. That sickness, # he Is
quoted right, can be overcome, by
pumping an per cent sodium chloride
solution at temperatures ranging from
100 to 1880 degrees Fahrenheit into the
lungs.
The question naturally crises how
such remedy can be applied TO the
patient without killing him, as wen as
the bacteria. Dr. Coakley has, II Is
claimed, 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 des-
troys the bacteria and Cools 10 the tenn
perature OF the body II is claimed that
it Is absorbed IN the blood and does
not clog up the lungs. In doing this 1t
protects the red oorpuscles against des.
tructiop by the poisons of pneumonia.
The effects Of this treatment, We
fancy, will have 20 be demonstrated
thoroughly before II is adopted gener-
ally.

FIGURES ON THE BoER WAR.


Various estimates have been pub
llshed regarding the exact number OF
lives lost by the British In the South
African campaign. According TO Off
cIal figures, the total loss may be placed
at 1850. Possibly later Inquiry may
modify this total somewhat but II is
believed that Il Is not far from the ex-
act truth
About $4,000 men were sent to the
scene Of trouble. or these 265,0OO came
from the United Kingdom, and $1,000
from the colonies, The war department
figures show that in the 3lH months.
from Oct. Is, 1900, to June l. 1902, the
British lost 21,b79. or almost Z per cent
Of the total of the troops engaged. IN
GLIDING the killed and the wounded to-
gether, It makes 3ol2S men, or nearly
10 per cent OF the total forces During
the whole war the surrenders OF armed
men to the Beers amounted to 9,1l4, or
about per cent Of the fighting line
As for the health OF the troops II Is
shown that $4,000 deaths were due to
disease, which for an average force OF.
say, 900 men for two and one-half
years gives on annual death rate Of
only 26 for 1000 This is not a partlcu-
larly high rate for soldiers campaigning
in a country where typhoid would seem
to be extremely prevalent II Is fur
Their stated that 1900 men were killed in
battle or died OF wounds. while 2236S
men We're wounded. but recovered
These, added to the number captured
by the Beers and the number that died
OF disease, brings the total casualty
record for the entire force up to 1851.
Some interesting details are furnished
as 10 the percentage OF casualties
among the different natlonalities rep
resented. The colonials were In pLppor.
ton the heaviest sufferers. In all the
casualties their percentage was higher
than that for the home troops, with
the exception Of the number captured
by the Beers and the number that died
from disease and accident. OF ali the
regiments, the Gordon Highlanders
suffered the most severely recording
572 casualties, and Of this number only
l2 are accounted for by captures.
Among the home troops, those Of Ire
land had the heaviest loss In killed and
wounded, with Scotland a close second.
Accepting these figures as nearly cor
rect, II will be seen that Of the $4,000
men in the field over $4,000 met with
some casualty, That Il to say, every
sixth soldier in the British forces was
either killed, captured or otherwise
rendered unfit for service.

hardly be regarded as a good, sign.
There are now a million women wage
earners IN factorles-an Increase OF 2S.i
per cent in ten years. The number Of
children Is only l6s,OO0. but It IS 1913
per cent larger than in 1890, That
means that 80 many more women are
reduced TO The necessity OF tolling az
wage earners for a living and that so
many more children are deprived Of the
opportunities Of school education.
Another fact seems to be brought out
that the average wage at the present
time is somewhat less than It was ten
years ago. This conclusion Is based up-
on the fact that the total wages paid
have Increased only 20 per cent while
the number OF wage-earners has In
creased 70 per cent

THE KING AT DEATHS DOOR

The startling news from London

he was recovering from the indIspos-
ton he was said to have suffered. The

reports so far seem TO inspire hope,
but some OF the facts published indi-
cate that the king is very near the
gates OF death. lie may recover, but
at all events. the coronation has been
postponed indefinitely
King Edward has had the title and

his father. he has been the acknowl-
edged king OF English society the

probably II would not affect appreoi-
ably the politics OF the empire, would

While yet young prince, the king
visited the United States and was most
cordially received The impression he

said; IF the Prince remains here

JANE TopPAX's CASE.

The confession OF Jane Toppau, OF
Barnstable, Mass, that she has DELHI
erately murdered thirty-one people. Is
one of the most remarkable in the an .
nails Of crime. She made the confess
sion as a result OF having been de-
clared insane and sent TO the asylum at
Taunton. This verdict wns reached in
her trial for the murder Of Mrs, Mary
A. Gibbs When she was accused OF
the crime a year ago, her friends were
very indignant but the evidence against
her was SO strong that she was held for
trial.
II she was insane during the period
she was killing patients tshe was a
trained nurse and extensively en-
ployed) II Is rather strange that none
OF the doctors with whom she was as
ISOLATED detected any signs OF insanity
in her; they OF all people should have
noticed any mental alteration. but they
did not on the contrary, her services

The action OF the senate In adopting
the Spooner substitute for the Isthmlan
canal bill makes II reasonably certain
that there will be no haste In beginning
the construction of an interoceanic wa
terway on this hemisphere. The house
OF representatives more than three
months ago passed what is known as
the Hepburn bill. which provides for
the construction Of a canal along the
Nicaragua route. There were only two
votes against this bill In the lower
branch Of Congress. ami It was thought
that the practically unanimous action
OF the house would cause the senate TO
regard the Nicaragua project with ia
vOr. The senate, however, seldom FOL.
