The Fight Against Disease.

Hitherto, about the only preventive Or
curative antitoxine whose qualities are not
disputed have been the serums used for
the treatment of diphtheria and lock jaw,
and the lymph used in vaccination. An
nonncements that cancer. tuberculosis,
bubonic plague, cholera, typhoid and even
rabies are durable by this method have not
proved generally satisfactory, in spite of
some instances of marked success. Yet.
attempts are still made to add to the LIST
of diseases that may be treated by sero-
therapy. The latest is scarlet fever, re-
garding which DIR. Charlton, of McGiII
University, Montreal. announces that he
has made n serum able to counterfeit the
poison Of the microbe that produces the
after-effects so much feared in this disease.
This is not the specific microbe of the
malady, but DIR. Charlton believes that it
does most of the mischief A German.
DIR. Mcneil. claims that he has added to
our list still another serum, which is eff
fective against rheumatism, the microbe of
which disease has been isolated in that
country by DIR. Fritz Meyer. Time alone
can show whether or not these discoveries
are to be placed in the list of complete

awaiting his trial. The testimony against
him was given by other negroes who wit
messed the killing. When the case was
called for trial by the presiding Judge. AZ
old man rose, and in voice deep and low,
but full of marked gentleness, said:
"Will your honor, please mark me for
the defense"
1t was Gen. Robert TOombs. His face
was wrinkled with age, but it was large
and strong, and the lines of intellect made
deeper wrinkles than those of age. His
white hair rolled back in curls from a
splendid brow. His form was large and
tall and straight although his move
ments were slow with the years. His eyes
still flashed as when he stood in the SEN
ate Chamber at Washington.
The witnesses all seemed unfriendly
| toward the prisoner. In his own state
ment he claimed that the killing was in
self-defense.
Gen. Toombs analysed the testimony
of the eye-witnesses, and then concluded
thus: --
"Your Honor please. and gentlemen of
the jury: A few years ago my only
brother fell wounded on the battlefield Of
Gettysburg. He lay there bleeding to
death with no friendly hand to help hirl.
Shot and shell were sweeping the earth
a;l about him. No friend could go to him,
no surgeon dared approach him.
MY brother had body servant, who
waited on him in camp. The negro saw
his masters danger, and straight ont into
that sheet of battle and flame and death
he went. A piece Of shell tore the flesh
from his breast, but on he went. and gath
ering my brother in his arms, the blood of
the man mingling with the blood of the
master. he bore him to safety and life.
Jim. open your collar.'
The prisoner rose and opened his shirt
in the front On his breast the jury saw
the long, jagged scars where the shell
had torn its way.
''Jim's skin may be black" the Cen
eral continued, che may be negro, but
the man who would do what he did has
soul too white ever to have killed man
except in defense of his own life."
The jury agreed with him and Jim was
cleared

why 1ncandescent Lights Are Costly.

'sThe incandescent light is obtained at
an expense of 95 to 96 per cent. of the
energy passing through the circuit; the
loss is heat Since the original electrical
energy passing through the circuit is from
10 to 10 per cent. of the chemical energy
of the coal used at the power plant, the
final effect of light is less than one per
cent You can easily see how costly in
candescent lights really are, and there is
little prospect of improvement at present.
The converting of energy into light
through heat and electricity means the
transformation of energy twice into heat
that is. into a disorganized form-and
the total loss is tremendous. The greatest
problem il. science to-day is to eliminate
heat as an intermediary form of energy.
There is much more hope of development
in the arc light, and that there are many
improvements along this line soon to be
made is not to be doubted-Success.

Uncle Sans Gold Product.

We have read Of the fabulous wealth
which the Spanish conquerors of Peru
found among the Incas. But all South
America has not produced as much gold
in $50 years as the United States has pro-
duced in the last half century. Up to the
close of the fiscal year. June 30. 1902. we
had produced. all told, $2,144, 476,2 97 in
gold, and 1914 ,234 ,G73 in silver, making a
grand total of $685. 1097O. To trans
port this vast sum allowing 10 tons to
each carl would require six trains of 30
freight cars each, for the gold. and 40
trains OF 80 cars each for the silver. If
we should place these trains in line they
would stretch 2OA miles, and. If this
treasure were equally distributed, it would
provide 81 for every man, woman and
child in the world.
The United States produced about one
half more of the precious metals than any
other country, and 30 per cent. of the
worlds product. The output of gold has
more than doubled in the past 10 years:
and the Director Of the Mint states that in
the Cripple Creek district the PRESERVES
(of gold in sight are enormous success.

When l returned to our tent the sad
news had preceded me, and l found my

MAN, who had by this time become very
feeble and was fast approaching dissolu-

wounded mans bedside, making heroic eff
forts, interrupted by choking sobs, to read
from the Testament the Apostle Matthew )

The Captain attempted a feeble excuse
for the culprit, for the term ''lubberly"
had cut him to the quick, but his weak
defense was swept away in the torrent Of
abuse.
So he stood, alternately casting appeal
ing glances at his junior (whose delight in
the situation was so keen as to Oblige
him to retreat behind the protecting gun
at times) and trying to soften the Ad-
mirafs wrath.
To the end of the cruise, however, the
Admiral did not cease to allude to the
most extraordinary accident that had be-
fallen his pet mercurial, and also to the
end of the cruise was the Captain most
particularly polite and forbearing to his
subordinates, to the great establishment of
