THE GERM OF A CHILDHOOD DIS.
EAsE.-John ID. Rockefeller, two years
ago, appropriated 100000 for investi-
CATION by scientist OF the scourge of
children, generally known as summer
complaint" His incentive has been
the loss OF grandson by that myster-
iOus disease. He entrusted the matter
OF research and award TO DR.. w. H.
WEIGH, Of New York city, one of the
most distinguished Psychologists OF the
world. The learned doctor submitted
the matter to two students in whom
he took an interest. One of them is
Chas. E. Duval, of Annapolis, student
in the University of Pennsylvania
Medical School; the other is Victor H.
Bassett, of Aledo, ILL.,, a student in the
John Hopkins Medical School. Mr..
Bassett discovered the germ and Mr..
Duval isolated the organism. In forty
two cases the organism found is nearly
identical with that which produces
dysentery in adults.

Return Of Peary Polar Expedition

Lieut.. Peary arrived at Sydney, n.
s., on the 18th, from his polar expedi-
ton, began four years ago, on the
Windward. He reports that he had
been within about $50 miles of the
pole, and he entertains no doubt but
that it can be reached by any man
with proper outfit, who is able to make
his winter quarters in latitude of SO
degrees. He declared that he had &C.
complished all that he possibly could
under the circumstances, and that al
though he did not succeed in hosting
the Stars and Stripes at the pole, he is
very we'll satisfied with his labors.
He had been able to rechart Cape
York ard Whale Sound regions
The northeast coast OF Hayes Land
was also completely surveyed. and long
journeys were taken in the heart of
Greenland. He maintains that Green
land is an island; that there is abso.
lutely no foundation for the belief
that there is an open polar sea at the
North Pole. Nor does he believe in q
crystalline sea, covered with ice: the
area is indeed frozen, but it is ice in a
state OF perpetual oscillation. He felt
sure that when he rounded the north
ern coast Of Greenland, in May, 1900,
he had trod on the most northerly
land of the globe.
This is not the first polar expedition
led by Lieut.. Peary. His first trip was
made in the summer of 1856; his next
in 1891, and since then he has been
steadily engaged, OF and on, in Arctic
exploration. The furthest northward
exploration that had previously been
made was the Italian expedition OF
Count Abruzzi, which reached so de.
grees, 33 minutes; Lieut. Peary at
attained SO degrees, 80 minutes; and
he confidently affirms his belief that
under favorable conditions the pole
may be reached from Joseph Land and
Grant Land, latitude SO degrees, if
winter quarters were made as far north
as possible. He says that there is no
difficulty of maintaining existence in
high ATTITUDES, if one is properly pre-.
pared for local conditions. Game is
plentiful.
The Windward brought down cases
of relics from the frozen north. One
is skeleton Of a narwhale. Some are
live animals, among which is a musk.
OK, q walrus, some Arctic hares and
pups OF native dogs. It is said that no
geological garden in the world has a
musk.ox. These animals will be
placed in Central Park, New York.
One of the minor troubles of the
expedition was the development oil
bad feeling on the part of the surgeon
of the expedition, DR.. Dedrick, fol
Lieut.. Peary, and during q period Of
two years they did not epeak TO each
other. The doctor felt sighted be.
cause the commander Of the expedition
favored Matthauson, a bright negro
servant, who accompanied him on all
his expeditions. This feeling became
so intense that the surgeon was trans.
ferred to the relief ship Erik. Mat.
thausen had had fourteen years oil
Arctic experience and Peary consulted
him for suggestions in all matters oil
Importance. Dedrick could not real
ize that this was trip on which eff
cheney transcribed all recognition o.
social standing.

A SEASON OF GREAT FIREs.-The
Mother Shipton prediction, that in.
stead Of the end of the world being
preceded by the millennium, all things
terrestrial would 60 up in smoke, seems
likely TO be realized to the super.
stitioue, in view Of the widespread
CONGREGATIONS now raging. Not only
here, but in Wyoming and other
Middle Western States, unprecedented
forest fires have ragged from no appar-
ent philosophical reason, and we read
that the Beaumont (Texas) oil field
is on fire with no chance to stop the
flames and that the 40 producing
wells are all likely to be ignited from
the spread of running rivers of fire.
This almost simultaneous appearance
OF uncomfortable fires at widely re-
mote points gives some color to the
belief, at least, that We are passing
through 4 specially combustible epoch.

A PLATFORM OF Cross PURPOSES
The Republicans of New York, in
convention assembled, Wednesday,
nominated b. Il. Odell, Jr., of Orange,
for Governor. and pledged the State
for Roosevelt in 1904. The platform
straddles the buck" in most approved
fashion by endorsing the Cuban re-
ciprocity proposed by the Republicans
in Congress, which is blanket long
enough to make a saddlc-cloth for
Teddy's pet hobby as we'll; it COM
mends the executive for laying the
foundations of social order in the
Philippines. and applauds Congress
for securing for the people of those
islands their fundamental civil and
personal rights. In fact, there is
enough prestige claimed by the Presi-
dent and Congress for wide, very
wide platform, if the real differences
between them can be patched up so as
to conceal the fact that they are in
really eating porridge out Of the same
dish with slightly differently shaped
spoon. The platform varies just
enough in endeavor to play "Good
Lord, good devil" and suit Hannaites
as we'll as Rooseveltians, and in that
respect is intended, like the negro dar.
keys internal rupture prescription Of
alum end rosin, "de alum to pull de
parts tOgedder an de rosum to solder
dem when dey come togedder."

Today's Run Will Be Around Cape Cod
to Provincetown.

Vineyard Haven, Mass, Aug. THE
run of the New York Yacht Clut
cruise from Newport to this port, to-
day, was made In q magnificent wester-
ly breeze which sent the yachts over
the course of 81 miles at a fast cliy
and provd record breaking in the his

The Boston schooner Constellation
owned by Francis Skinner, Jr., covered
the distance in 3.32.O1 and won the race

Starting in fine westerly breez. the
yachts made the run of IL miles from
Brentons Reef lightship to Vineyard
