HUMAN ILLS DUE TO SOAP. :
Writer In London Times starts nm
Interesting Observation-Disclosures
of the Specialists.

A short letter printed In the London
Times stands out among such allah
sorbing topics as the possibilities Of
war Ia the near or far east, the fiscal
question and other matters Of grave in
terests. The writer Of this letter refers
To the announcement that royal com
mission is about to be appointed to in
vestigate the physical deterioration Of
the English people.
He proceeds, says the New York SUM-
to declare the conviction that this
deterioration Is due to the excessive use
of soap, which removes the natural oil
gwen BY the Almighty to protect the
body and thus exposes 1t to rheuma-
usm, ehills, disease and dirt.
The writer boasts that he has not
rsea soap for 80 years, while all the
time Is was doing the hardest kind Of
work at sea, and yet he never had a
twinge Of rheumatism or any other all
ment
The appearance OF this letter was the
signal for general press investigation
into the philosophy OF soap. Physicians,
dermatologists, complexion specialists
and even recruiting sergeants have been
interviewed on the subject, with the re-
suit that soap CONS forth victorious
and Is declared to be an absolute neces-
sity OF life under modern conditions.
The Lancet admits that soap is not
calculated to make the skin supple, be-
cause 1t removes the natural oil, but
cold cream Is a remedy for this.
Nevertheless. said the Lancet, mot
a few people manage to maintain per-
sonel cleanliness without the use of soap
at all"

ARE METALS "ALIvE?"
Experiments show Them to BE sensf-
tive to Irritation just as
Animal Nerves Are.

BY an ingenious device a visible
and ocular demonstration can be given
of the fact that nerve has the power
10 convey a message Of sensitiveness.
II at any intervening part of the nerve
a galvanometer be attached, and the
end of the nerve be pinehed or other
wise irritated, then Immediately the
needle of the galyanometer will be de-
fiected-thus showing that the irrita-
ton of the nerve causes q current like
that of electricity to be sent along it.
1t Is upon this fact (now well known
to scientists) that Prof. Bose bases his
Investigations
lie STARTS as explained by A Sa-
rath Kumar Ghosh, In an article on
Life in Metals which he contributes
TO Pearson's. from that known fact
namely, that galvanometer can re-
veal the sensitiveness Of animal mat
ter to external irritation-and makes
a series of experiments on bars of diff
ferent metals. to ascertain If they,
also, will respond to similar irritation,
and if that response can be made Wis
IDLY manifest in like manner by means
Of the galvanometer. The results he
obtains are startling
The first result is that all metals
show visible signs Of sensiuyeness un-
der irritation, such as twisting or tap
ping, exactly in the same manner as
animal muscles and nerves do--the
greater the irritation, the greater the
visible signs of sensiuvenes5. Nay,
more; every single popularity in the
irritability Of animal matter is exact

Say what you viii of the sultan's
soldiers--aaye that they are not brave

them squat, heavy, dirty, sloppy,
ragged, bearded, allah-inspired irwin

der; you are no less in the right.
Call them well-disci plined. temperate,
childishly obedient; no one will contra
dict you. But you might as well have
said that they are insubordinate, fanati-
cal and bloodthirsty. The one is as
true as the other, says the Boston
Transcript.
The fact Is, the Turkish army is
homogeneous in but one respect-its
religion. All are Mussulmans. No
Christian dog is suffered to light un-
der the green banner of the prophet.
For the rest you have all the Moslem
races of the hither east--Albanians,
Circassians, syrians. Arabs, Negroes,
Osmanlis or true Turks-messing it
together. But 1t is not nationality
alone that makes the Turkish army SO
exceedingly various" It is the world
wide contrast between the separate
branches OF the service. The Nizam,
or regular army, is to the wild squad
ron OF the Hamadie cavalry as Kip
ling's ''Fuzzy-Wuzzie" to the British
Infantree." In between the two comes
different sort of body from either
the Redifs, or Reserves, the backbone
of the army.
Every male Moslem serves in the
Turkish army from the time he is
20 until the time he is 40-unless he
can get out of it, This he stands
fair chance of doing, Exemptions are
made pretty freely for variety of rea-
sons. Constantinopolitans are excused
in body, and after them all those
who can show that for physical or
family reasons they are unfit to serve.
The rest, who can find no excuse, serve
