is CONTAGIOUS

All physicians admit that consump-
ton is contagious.
As the sputum dries. the bacilli, or
germ poison, which it contains are
thrown into the atmosphere, and as.
laden with catarrhal discharges. they
are breathed into weak lungs, these
poisons take root and consumption is
developed. The only way to prevent this
disease is to breathe into the air pipes,
OF bronchial tubes, the vapcrS of a heal
irg oil laden with germ-ldlling remedy
No medicine taken into the stomach has
over yet cured genuine Consumption.
According to the last Worlds Con
sumption Congress of Physicians, which
net in London 4 year ago last July, the
Ghly germ KILLING remedy that has been
actually successful Is tho enc discovered
Icy Prof. Koch, of Berlin, and manufar-
tured under the supervision of the Ger
man government. and is called the
Koch Tuberculiue."

EDITION OF NOTES OF
MILITARY INTEREST,"
Issued by Bureau of Mill
tary Information.
DEALS WITH ENGINES OF WAR
Touches Upon Army Movements Of
Various Militant Nations-Rapid
Fire Guns

The Bureau of Military Information Of
the War Department, of which Lieut..
Col W. A. Simpson, of the Adjutan;
Generals Department. is the chief. has
published its annual Notes of Military
Interest" The matter contained in this
volume is of especial interest &c officers
of the army as giving the progress made
during the year 1901 of the various
military nations in offensive and de-
fensive engines and materials of war
The book was compiled and arranged by
Capt E. a. Edwards. Twentyfifth In
fantry; Capt. ]. S. Heron, Second Cav
airy: First Lieut.. H. B. Ferguson, Corps
OF Engineers and Second Lieut.. h. S.
Clark. of the Ninth Infantry. Contribu-
,ions were also made by the United
States military attaches abroad.
The FIRST part of the volume is de-
voted to the changes that have been
made within recert date in the organ.-
cations of the British. Swedish, Servian,
Brazilian, and Argentine armies. In view
of the recent reorganization of the
United States Army. this part of the
book is of great interest to officers Who
are watching the working out of our
cwn organization under the scheme of
Secretary Root.
Guns of Other Nations.
Comment is made at length upon field
guns used by nations other than the
United States. For the past six months
,,o,r3 80 ra,-tifino tiop-
has been at WORT; testing various types
OF field guns with view to the adop
,tion of one for the use Of the United
States Artillery Corps. 1t is pointed out
that there are two kinds of field guns.
namely those on rigid carriages and
those with the long recoils. Neither of
these types has yet received unanimous
preference. both of them having COOL
and bad features.
The gun mounted on rigid carriage
has more stability, but is under dis
advantage in that great rapidity of fire
cannot be obtained. The principal fault
is the failure of the carriage to main
tain the first firing position and the un-
certain action of the spade in the hard
ground. With the recoil carriage guns,
which mechanism, the report states, re-
turns the gun to the original firing po-
sition, great rapidity is obtained, but
the gun has its disadvantages in being
made UP of complex parts. which readily
get out of order and thus destroy its
efficiency.
Japan Has New Gun.
France uses gun with the long re-
coil feature, and Germany, Russia. and
Italy use the rigid carriage type. Com
znent is made upon The new Japanese
field gun. where the recoil is taken up
on the carriage.
Chapters are devoted to howitzers and
mortars fer field use ard to explosive
proiectiles and automatic pistols. Min
ute descriptions of the various types OF
automatic pistols are given. The army |
OF the United States is now testing the |
Luger automatic pistol, and various re-
ports, good, bad and Indifferent. have
been received by the War Department.
1t is not thought that the automatic pis |
tol will be adopted for the use of en- |
listed men. although officers may be
armed with them.

PRIVATE OWNERSHIP
IN YOSEMITE PARK
Superintendent Helm Asks
Annulnent of All Titles.

Private ownership of lands within the
bounds of the Yosemite National Park is
one OF the principal subjects treated in
the annual report to the Interior De-
partment which was made public yester-
day The report was written by Major
o. L. Helm. acting superintendent.
Asks for Surveyors.
Major Heir finds that there are within
the limits of the park about CO., 900 acres
of lands on which there are leases and
patents. This private ownership, reports
Major Helm, interferes with the work
of Keeping the reservation and makes
IL almost impossible to bar devastating
herds of cattle from the grounds or to
protect the fish in the lakes and streams.
The employment of competent surveyors
to locate these lands and TO define the
metes and bounds of the reservation Is
recommended. Major Helm further rec
ommends that Congress pass an act an
nulling the titles to the hands in the
park held by individuals.
Forest Fires Severe.
Forest fires occurred in several parts
of the park last summer 1t is alleged
that halfbreeds caused the worst of the
fires. which swept 1900 acres of timbered
land. Other fires resulted from the care
lessness of campers.
A great many requests for permits to
electrical works, to locate
mines, and to build private roads have
been made, and they have invariably been
refused. Occasionally some enterprising
company was chased off the reservation.
For the building and .epair of trails the
sum of $3.50 Is asked.
