DILLINGHAM;
IS CAPTAIN

Harvard men in Honolulu were
downcast yesterday over Yale's decisive
victory in the boat races. but there was
one bright CLEAN Of hope with it all.
Harold Dillingham; of this city was i'm
mediately after the conclusion Of the
races. elected captain OF the Varsity
crew for 1904, the highest honor which
can fall to a university man.
The news was conveyed to w. F. Dill
bingham in a cablegram, which also
told Of the loss OF the races. The ca
bIegram simply said: Lost all, elected
captain University crew." Dillingham;
was captain of the four-oar crew and
also the stroke. General HartweI also
received a cablegram from his son,
saying that he had not rowed in the
races.
The election OF Dillingham; as cap
tain Of the varsity crew almost COM
pensated the Honolulu Harvard men
for the loss OF the races. For a time
he rowed in the big crew as stroke,
but was left out in the final race be-
cause Of his weight, and so captained
: and acted as stroke In the four-oar
shell. Boston papers Of recent date say
that he got more work and better re-
suits from the crew than any other
man.

Profitable by his observations on the
pathological and physiological effects
produced on the tissues of the human
body when they are unduly exposed to
the rays of the new element, radium,
and to the Rontgen rays, Thomas A.
Edison, says the New York Tribune,
has formulated anew theory concern
ing the cause and progress Of cancer,
and he suggests course Of treatment
which, If his theory is correct, he
thinks would predispose toward a cure.
Mr.. Edison watched carefully the
progress of the disease which develop
ed into cancer, or, as it is known to
surgeons, carcinoma. He watched ev-
cry stage of the malady, from the time
a slight flush appeared on the back Of
one of the hands of his assistant,
Charles Daily, who has since lost his
arms because of cancer, which devel-
oped after he had been burned by the
Rontgen rays, to the time when the I'LL
GERS developed and the disease at last
involved the entire arm. Mr.. Edison
believes that if the treatment he now
proposes had been applied in Dally's
case in the beginning of the trouble,
cured.
Mr.. Edison says that he believes
that there are in the human body GER
tain amoeboid cells which are capable
of movement, and whose sole function
is to restore shattered and injured It's
sue. Mr.. Edison points out that In the
case of cut, wound or even an ordi-
nary burn, nature, through the me-
dunn Of these cells, sets to work to re-
store normal conditions.
With a burn produced by radium or
the Rontgen ray. Mr.. Edison declares
that there are entirely different phe-
nomena. The rays apparently possess
some quality which is not only de-
structive TO the tissue Itself, but which
destroys the amoeboid cells. The result
Is that the wound thus formed viii not
heal. Nature, however. says Mr.. Edi-
son. does her best even under these
adverse conditions. and here, Mr.. Edi-
son thinks. these little cells display a
sort % Intelligence, for when the cells

EDISON is WORKING
ON A CURE FOR CANCER
Blood TransfusioH Advocated for Certain Phases
of Disease

there is Immediately rush of healthy
cells from other parts of the body to
the seat of the trouble. They are
healthy cells, and there seems to be an
Improvement, but it is only apparent.
Soon a mass of reddish granulations
is seen on the surface, but instead OF
being limited in their area, like ordina-
ry granu1ations, they attain enormous
size, and presently develop into what Is
known as rose cancer. All this time
there is stead influx of amoeboid cells
until other portions of the body are
deprived OF the cells, and then the dis
ease has obtained full sway.
AS an antidote to this, Mr.. Edison
says he believes that the blood OF a
healthy person will provide enough
strong, reproductive cells to overcome
the injury. He says that operations
OF comparative simplicity would be all
that would be involved. In practice
some blood from the healthy subject
would be drawn off into a hypodermic
syringe, and then injected into the re-
gion of the part affected. The seat Of
the disease would then be attacked by
germs, possessing the strength to con-
quer the malady.
Mr.. Edison was asked how he recon-
ciled this view to cancer developed IN
an organ i'm the interior of the body Of
a person who had never been exposed
to rays. The inventor replied that he
believed that with some persons certain
foods would cause the destruction of
these amoeboid cells. Friction of any
body against certain parts Of the body
would, Mr.. Edison thought, tend to de-
stroy the cells. as in cases of smokers
cancer Of the lip. The course Of treat
ment to be pursued in treating, was,
said Mr.. Edison, a question TO be
solved by the surgeon.
Mr.. Edison does not intend to do any
thing to work out his theory. saying
that this, too, IL a matter for the sur
geon and scientific psychologist. Per
haps II is a rather daring theory" he
says, land II may take man OF eour-
age TO work 1t out, but really be-
ileve that the idea is entirely tenable
and viii work out that way"

INSURANCE AGAINST "RACE
SUICIDE

The American Mothers Birth Insur-
ance Company, says the Iowa Medical
Journal. Is a new insurance organiza-
ton OF which the object is to provide
for the payment of a sum Of money
upon the birth Of living child. The
benefits planned are from 800 to $500
depending upon the amount Of prem
ium paid by the mother. 1t Is organ
lied under the insurance laws Of Mas
sachusetts and is to maintain re-
serve fund.
The question arises: VIII this sort OF
insurance make any difference in the
race suicide" so much deplored by
our President and other statesmen?
The tendency of the day in that class
, Of people who are supposed to be in
sufficient financial condition to carry
insurance of this kind is not to have
children. Now, will they look upon
the insurance as a good thing and set
aside their prejudice against on
sprng or will this sort Of an insurance
company have to depend upon the la
boring class, who. as a usual thing,
cannot afford to carry any great
amount of insurance?

Young Chalmers had spent just three
weeks at the home Of his f1ancee, Miss
Bangs, to whom he had become en-
gagged at one of the resorts along the
Maine coast the previous summer,
when it suddenly occurred to him that
they were about the queerest engaged
couple there ever was-or certainly
that he had ever seen. This impress
sion grew rapidly until it assumed all
the proportions of an uncomfortable
certainty. They got UP about as much
emotion over each other as might be
expected in brother and sister.

so tired of hearing her relate the nu-
