MADE STUDY OF HUMPBACKS.
Liverpool Bachelor Gathered InfOr-
nation Regarding Them from
Various Countries.

1t was an odd fad enjoyed by a
wealthy bachelor who died recently
in Liverpool. His heir, on opening his
desk, was surprised to find in it a
manuscript volume of 1000 pages,
which was entirely devoted to a study
of humpbacks. Further investigation
showed that for several years this
man, who was himself stalwart.
tall and athletic, had closely studied
this curious subject and had visited
various countries for that purpose.
According to his manuscript there
are more humpbacks in Spain than
anywhere else, the number In one
small district at the foot of the
Sierra Moreno amounting to one in
every 10 inhabitants. There are also
many in the Loire region. in France.
From the statistics of all the coun-
tries of the globe it appears that
there is one humpback in every 1000
persons, which is equivalent to say
ing that there are 100000 hump
backs in the entire world. The au-
thor of this manuscript says that the
average height Of each hump is about
eight inches

MORE OVERSHOES WORN.
The Number of Persons Who Put ON
Rubbers in Wet Weather Has
Increased,

The men who wear overshoes and
the men who wear rubber boots are
increasing in number. 1t may have
been commonly supposed that there
was decrease instead of an in
grease, but the facts show the re-
verse, says the Chicago Tribune.
There are more men and also more
women and children now who never
go out on winter days without put
ting on rubbers or rubber boots
than there ever were In the country
before. The number of cautious
mothers who will not allow their
children on the streets without rub
bers has increased. The number of
men who kick off rubbers when they
go into their offices in the morning
has increased. The number of men
who pull on rubber boots in the
morning and sometimes forget to
pull them off in the evening has in
creased.
The person who says that the rub
Der boot is becoming thing of the
past speaks without reason.
These facts are shown by the in
crease in the number of factories
turning out such products. In 1850
there were nine factories in the
United States. In 1890 there were
II. Now there are 90. In the past
ten years the business has increased
100 per cent. The value of the prod
ucts Of these factories has increased
from 100000 in 1880 to SAL 900, 900.
In furnishing the rubbers and rub
Der boots to the public these fac
tories use 100000 worth of mate
rial, and employ nearly $4,000 wage
earners.

X-RAYS FOR CANCER.
Great Promise of Permanent Cure
Held Out in the Finsen
Discovery.

Cancer proper has been generally
regarded as hopeless. Having, how
ever, used the Finsen ray with good
results in case of cancer of the skin,
l decided in 1900 to prove it's results
upon the deeper-seated cancer of the
breast, writes George C. Hopkins in
McClure's. Here, however, entered
difficulty. The Finsen ray has slight
penetrative power. The use of the
Roentgen, or X-ray, in connection with
the Finsen ray suggested itself 20
me. The Roentgen ray has extraor-
binary germicidal qualities, but no
curative properties. Therefore, to de-
stroy the germs I used the X-ray,
which broke down the cancerous It's
sue and killed the bacteria. Then l
used the Finsen tube to heal the open
sore which resulted. Under the double
radial attack the area of liberation
quickly shrank, and, after several
months of treatment, disappeared.
That was two years ago; there has
been no return of the growth since.
Should the apparent cures of cancer
prove permanent we must regard Fin
sens discovery as the greatest miti-
giant of human sufferings since the
first use of anaesthetics. And, in any
case, the future of the new science is
glorious with hope.

FEW GRATE-FIRES IN HOTELS.
A Feature That Always Attracts the
Patronage Of Englishmen md
Canadians.

A clerk in a once fashionable hotel,
where nearly all distinguished Eng
lish visitors used TO go when they
came to New York, was talking the
other night about the falling off in
custom in many downtown hostel
ries. reports the Times, 'For many
wears" he said, 1.-THE downtown ho-
tells kept up the CRATE fires, while
the more modern hotels uptown
abolished the CRATES and had moth
ing but steam heat, The Englishman
will go every time where he can get
a CRATE fire. Steam radiators are
an abomination to him. When the
downtown hotels bsgan to make
improvements and did away with
crate fires they made n grand mis-
take. English and Canadian visitors
particularly, when they saw that it
was steam heat or nothing, went to
the larger hotels, where they could
see more people and get more for
their money than in the downtown
hotels. Steam heat IS Of course, very
much more convenient and less ex-
pensive for the hotel keeper, but
guests object to it for many rea-
sons, IN jury to health md noise from
changing pipes being the chief causes
Of complaint"

Religious services held in absolute
darkness are an experiment begun n
few weeks ago in London. The pur-
pose was not novelty or uotoriety, but
desire to answer the objection raised
by poorly dressed people against GO
ing to any place where their shabby
clothes made them feel uncomfortable.
Yhe experiment was made at st.
James, in Clerkenwell. \ large sheet
was hung across the eastern end of the
church. and upon this the words and
music OF the hymns, the prayers and
responses were thrown by lime-light
lantern.

DEWEY'S NEWRESPONSIBILITY
Picture of the Hero of Manila on q
Button That Was Put to
Good Use.

The boy pupils Of a downtown
school were studying the history Of
the war with Spain, says the Philadel-
phia Times. One boy seemed to have
difficulty in remembering the names
of some of the American naval COM
manders who were conspicuousin that
trouble.
Here" the teacher said, finally, go
ing to her desk and taking out some
souvenirs of the jubilee parade of
1899, take these buttons home this
afternoon, study them over night, and
tell me in the morning which is Schley,
which is Dewey and which Sampson"
She handed him the buttons bearing
the likenesses Of the three command
ers, and the boy took them and went
home.
In the morning the teacher called
him to her desk and asked him IL he
knew the names Of the three officers.
He produced two buttons saying:
This is Schley. and-"handing out the
second-"this Is Sampson"
That's right; that's right; very
good! OF course the third is-where
is the third button gave your"
please. ma'am." he replied, "me

FISHTOWN DIALECT.
Portion of Philadelphia Where the
People Have an Amusing
Popularity.

A United States senator from an
eastern state, according to the Wash
ington Post, tells an amusing story
about the residents of the northeast
ern section of Philadelphia, known as
Fishtown. Many denizens of this
famous old location have q dialect
strictly their own, and intensely orig
inal. For instance, many of them in
variably sound the letter "V" where
the letter "W" should be respected,
and vice versa. Once upon a time a
public man, who had been reared
there, was presiding at gathering
of Fishtown citizens, when a party
of ways, who were present and knew
the presiding officers popularity of
dialect, concocted a written sentence
and sent it up to the desk to be read
as notice. 1t was as follows:
"Mr. Vinton Vaux, clad in q varic-
gated velvet vest, of which he was
very vain, after voting, took a vine
gar laden vessel to the Vine street
dock for verification."
Amid shrieks Of laughter the inno-
cent presiding officer rendered it in this
wise:
Mr.. Winton Waux, clad in a warie-
gated west, of which he was very
vain, after voting took vinegar
laden vessel to the Wine street dock
for werifica ton"

TWINS THE WORLD OVER.
In Some Countries One II Killed ana
In others n Double Birth IL Re-
garded AS UnhOly.

The antiquary, when his son an
the grandfather of twins, looked al
most as disappointed and panied as
the father himself, relates the Phil
adelphia Record.
John, if we belonged to the Khas-
las or Hindustans, we would Kill one
Of these little strangers" said the
antiquary, smiling family. eff we
were Amos, we would kill one, too.
The world over, John, twins are re-
garded as a misfortune. In Africa,
that hut wherein twins are born is
looked on as unholy They burn it
to the ground. The twins themselves
may not mingle with other children;
they are compelled to live wild
and lonely life. On the island of
Bali, near Java, the birth OF twins
in family means the forced de
parture of the family to the sea-
shore for six months. They must go
to the sea; they must battle thrice
daily; they must say certain prayers.
That is the ceremony OF puri-
tication. They think on Bali Island
that publication is needed after the
birth of twins. Here in Philadelphia,
john" the antiquary ended, "the
punishment of the father of twins
is inflicted in the form of sneering
iibes, jokes and cuts. pity you,
John, for the next two weeks"

Rings Under Gloves.

According to a well known London
ieweler, people who want their rings
to last well should not wear them un-
der gloves. The constant friction Of
the gloves wears the tiny points that
hold the stones in place and the result
is that the stones fall out unless they
are closely looked after.
