MALARIA CANCER CURE.
Possibilities Suggested by the Expert
ments of DR.. Loef11er.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Putting two and two together is common
ly regarded as a rather simple operation
Sometimes, however. when the two twos
are brought together from remote regions
their combination is something to be won-
dered at. Consider, for instance. the expert
ment the German scientist Loeffler has been
making with regard to the cure Of cancer

this: Hippocrates has left the observation
that people troubled with the falling sick

the "quartan fever" which is supposed to
be malaria. The second two was this: 1t

tricts where malaria is endemic Putting
these bits Of information together DIR.
Loeffler said: Why not cure cancer by in
ducing malaria?
According to the German papers the ex-
periments made in the attempt to secure
an answer to this question promise good re-
suits. Persons who have cancer can be
given malaria either by injecting the blood
of a malariouS patient into their veins or by
exposing them to the sting of mosquitoes
which are malariously infected. This being
done, as the malaria develops the cancer
declines. There are few persons who would
not be willing to make the exchange. 1t is
a case not Of out of the frying pan into the
fire. but rather Of out of the fire into the fry

as that. DR.. Koch has shown lately that by

use of qunine. 1t will be possible, therefore,
to cure disease number one by disease num-

A Dinner Table for Horses.
From the London Telegraph.


Queen Alexandra has always had great
consideration for horse and other useful
animals, and displayed much interest some
years back in movement which resulted
in the posting of notices requesting pas
sengers to refrain from causing avoidable
stoppages of buses because of the strain
imposed on the teams. Her majesty has
recently expressed desire to do something
for the horses on the public cab ranks and
has taken the initial steps. In Copenhag gen
there are in general use on the carriage
rs nks small trestle stands, or tables, on
which the horses nosebags are placed, so
that the animals may feed in greater COM
fort; and a. an experiment, Queen Alexan-
dra has had a dozen of these tables sent
over from Denmark. Her majesty's notion
is to give them to A few drivers, in the
hope that their practical utility may be
demonstrated and the system extended
The trestles are extremely light and COM
pact, and the top part is formed OF strong
webbing. The whole contrivance can be
folded into very small compass, and quite
conveniently slowed away under the seat
of a cab when the vehicle leaves the rank.
The tables have been tentatively used at
the cab rank in Pail Mall within the past
few DAYS.

REAL ESTATE DEAL.
Consul Williams Would Swap the
Philippines.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The Philippine problem is as easy and
simple as swapping horses to anyone who
will open his geography at the map of the
western hemisphere and follow the plans
outlined in the Independent by Oscar F.
Williams, former consul at Manila, now
consul general at Singapore
Consul Williams plan, it is true con-
templates some far-reaching changes in
the map Of the world, but they can be
made-on paper-without the firing Of
gun or the expenditure of a dollar. And
the attractlveness of the plan lies in the
fact that everybody will be pleased with
his bargain and that when the Imperial
d1cker' Is conSummated no European flag
will be seen in the western hemisphere.
consul Williams assumes at the start
that the American people desire to get rid
OF the Philippines, that we are ignorant
of the control Of colonies and that we
don't want to expand in the orient" He
therefore, proposes that we make. an ex-
change with Great Britain of our Philip
pine possessions for New Foundland. the
British West Indies and the Bahamas. He
would then have England cede Honduras
to Mexico and have England, France and
Holland give up their claims to Guiana,
which would then be made a separate re-
public under our protectorate. To carry
France relinquish her fishing rights off
Newfoundland and also give up Miauelon
matters Of trif1ing detail, to which

For naval and coaling station, where
our ships in the orient could have shelter,
Consul Williams would have us retain Ba-
tanes, a group of four islands, sixty miles
from the Philippine archipelago, with good
harbors and near to Chinese ports
The writer adduces much data of a COM
mercial and Industrial nature to show that
both England and the United States would
have "the best Of the bargain" The ulti-
mate loss Of Canada to England through
peaceful annexation" to this country is
regarded as such a fixed certainty that It

was slumbering in intellectual darkness.
The science of the stars, indeed, has been
refined and perfected In an unparalleled
degree, and infinitely extended in all direc-
tions; but with the bounds of darkness
pushed back step by step, the goal is not,
and never will be. in sight. An infinity Of
objects and causes and an endless variety
of phenomena are yet to be explored, and
the work of the mind Is rather process Of

RESURRECTION PLANTS.
They Seem to Die, but Come to Life
Again When Watered.
From Youths Companion.


There are plants which, when dried and
apparently dead, take the form of life
again when they are soaked in water There
are two kinds of revival, one real, the other
apparent. A writer In La Science Ilustree
says that return to life, either in a COM
plete form or in part, is quite frequent In
the vegetable world, where the influence Of
humidity and dryness is more marked than
among animals. One naturalist has taken
fine raisins, of the variety known as impe-
rial Malaga. and planted the stem in moist
earth This stem, four inches long. in three
months had shoot of three additional
inches.
The plant best known for its renewing
property Is the rose of Jericho This is not
really a rose at all. but belongs to the Cru
clferae or mustard family: and its little
white flowers recall those of the "shep-
herds purse" so common along country
roadsides.

IN MANILA.
The War Over and Peace the Universal
Theme.

From the New York Sun.
The following letter, written lately by a
New York business man now in Manila,
gives an interesting description of the
situation in that city as 1t is today. 1t
follows:
Il wish you could get out here and see
this country. You would have one of the
greatest surprises of your life and matter
for thought for a long time to come The
country Is beautiful, the climate delicious,
though warm to one accustomed to the
temperate zone. The sun is hot at noon, but
shade is always near and somewhere a
breeze is always to be found. The nights
are comfortable all the year around. Every
morning at about I awake and wrap
blanket about me. Only once in forty years
has the thermometer reached 100 degrees
THE war seems as far off here as it did
in New York 1t affects Manila and the
other principal cities just much as the
war against the Sioux Apaches used to
interrupt the business in New York, Bos-
ton or Philadelphia. There are a few skir-
mishes in outlying districts, Of course, but
they are of little no Importance. No one
ever speaks OF any war here 1t is all
finished from local point Of view, and
every man is straining each nerve to solve
the mighty problems of peace.
1.-The rapidty with which those problems
are being mastered surprises one In ten
years new civilization will have permeat-
ed all the islands. In five years believe We
will see new Manila. Already the Fill
pinos of rank and means are feeling the
contagion of American optimism and are
looking to the future with glowing hopes.
Ex-insurgent generals are taking posts un-
der the government on all sides, and those
who have been always loyal have gotten
over their fears Of the insurgents and are
thinking solely Of their share In the tre-
mendous betterment that is to come.
Laws have been drafted and are now
before Congress which, when PASSED. will
throw open the almost inconceiyable riches
of these islands to American development.
Capital has already begun to come in and
at least two big syndicates have been Or
ganized, one Of 81, 100000 and one of $4,000

Belief in the Devil.
From the International Review.

There is a marked tendency in cultivated
religious circles to eliminate from Chris
tian teaching the belief in personal devil;
and it is at least a quarter of century
since any overt action was taken In his be-
half by any member of the Anglican
clergy. 1 refer to an incident which took
place at Clifton. A beneficed clergyman
refused the sacrament to one of his congre-
cation who had publicly expressed his dis
belief in the devil. Public opinion In or
thodox circles inclined, on the whole, to the
side Of the parishioner; and even religious
reactionaries condemned the clergyman for
raising an awkward point and unnecessa-
rily disturbing the peace and unity of the
