authorship of an alleged libelous
article concerning an Indian
named White Buffalo, of Oklaho-
ma Territory, and published in
the Philadelphia North American
last July. The article was writ
ten at Wichita but no proceed
ings have yet been instituted
there, it is said.
Valkenburg, editor, and Emory
Foster, Sunday editor of the
North American, accompanied by
White Buffalo, Col. r. II. Pratt,
superintendent of the Carlisle,
Pa, Indian school at which insti-
tuition the Indian was educated,
and Judge James G.. Gordon, of
Philadelphia, are here to prose-
cute the case.
The article in question stated
that White Buffalo had been sent
to government school for Indi-
ans at Carlisle, Pa, where he was
educated; that he had returned
to his tribe imbued with deep
hatred for the white race: that
he first met Mary Andrews and
after counting her for a while,
bound her to a pony and when
found she was dead; that he then
met Annie Dennis, and after a
short courtship, her throat was
cut; that White Buffalo then met
Maud Ellis and in a short time
she was found with knife blade
in her heart. The article went
on to state that White Buffalo was
under arrest and in jail charged
with the murders.

by the almighty dollar, yet I doubt if the man is yet born even if backed by the wealth of the United States Gov. ernment, who can build an artificial harbor of safety that will stand Pa cific sea with a Nicaraguan volcano rumbling at it's entrance. Senator Mor- gan doubtless is under the impression that the Pacific Is an ocean of peace, when it derived it's name. Beyond a doubt the person who gave it that name had never been rocked on it's bosom. MT. Morgan's query es to why the French do not go on and complete it, history has answered. Lack of brains, lack of muscle, lack of energy. Any nation or race of people who could and did spend $75,O0OOO0 getting ready to do thing and $S0,O00,000 before they broke ground, any nation which would select men for job of that nature who, when they arrived at their post of duty, turn to planting flower gardens and building dancing halls. could never f1n- isb canal across the Isthmus of Pana- ma.
 DeLesseps received glory and honor for digging 250-foot ditch through sandbank in Egypt, but when he start ed in to do the same through the noun tains of Colombia he realized that he was "up against the real thing" in canal work.

CAUSES OF LEPRoSY.

Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson, who re- gently returned to England after study ing the causes of leprosy in South Af- riea, concludes that the primary cause of leprosy is the eating of badly cured salt fish which is sent inland from the west and south coasts to the farmers and industrial centers He does not be- lieve that leprosy is Infectious or cont l. gious in the accepted sense of these words, but holds that 1t can be commit nicated by lepers' hands. He suggests as prophylaxis Legislative control of the fish-curing establishments, the diffu- sion of information in regard to the danger of communication and the es- tablishment of isolation homes for lep- CTS during the stage of the disease n- volving risk of contracting it.

SCIENCE NOTES.
CELERY FOR RHE1rMArIsM

CELERY FOR RHEUMATISM.
 One of the latest theories is that cele- " is q cure for rheumatism; indeed, it is asserted that the disease is impossi- ble if the vegetable be cooked and free ly eaten. The celery should be cut into pieces and boiled in water until soft, and the water drunk by the patient. Put new milk, with little flour and nutmeg, into a saucepan with the boiled celery, serve it warm with pieces of toast, eat it with potatoes, and the painful ailment will soon yield. Such is the declaration of a physician, who, 1t is said, has again and again tried the experiment, and with uniform success. He adds that cold or, damp never pro- duces, but simply develops, the disease, of which acid blood is the primary and sustaining cause, and that, while the blood is, alkaline. there can be neither rheumatism nor gout
