Although it has been less than six
months since DR.. Charles Wardell
Stiles, chief Of the Division OF Zoology
in the marine hospital service, official
ly announced the discovery of the
hook worm or germ of laziness," pre-
parations are already under way in
several Southern States to utilize the
discovery in combating the disease.
The State Board Of Health of North
Carolina, through its Secretary, DR..
Lewis, has taken the lead in the work,
and it is confidently expected by sci
entists in Washington that the health
officials of that State soon will make
an important announcement as the
result OF the experiments.
The disease which results from the
ravages of the hook worm is called
uncinariasis. In common parlance it
is known as laziness. Study of the
conditions in the most widely infected
regions of the south. mainly in Flor.
ida, appears to show that the parasite
attacks children in the rural sections
at an early age. 1t has been satisiac.
torily demonstrated that children who
60 barefooted or who are permitted to
loll around freely OH the ground in the
summer time are the special victims
OF the hook worm.
When the parasite thus gets started
it thrives marvelously, to the injury
OF its victim, actually arresting the
development of certain parts of tho
body and delaying the age Of maturity
to a noticeable extent. When full
growth finally is attained the victim
is all through life indolent and shift
less. This accounts for the large
number of people in the south who
are considered lazy.
In severe cases of hook worm dis
ease the face is bloated, the shoulders
droop, the abdomen is enlarged, and
the arms and legs are thin. The dis.
ease mainly is confined to warm
climates, for it is there that the hook
worm abounds in the greatest mum.

DIR. Stiles thinks it quite probable
the ancient Egyptions, nearly $500
years ago, were acquainted with the
parasite which he has named the
hook worm, and whose habits he is
still studying with the enthusiasm of
a novice. The disease appears to
have attained its most virulent form
among the Egyptians of that period.

with which he expects to make 40,
miles an hour. He fatty denies the
truth that such a speed will shatter
any machine without a balloon at
tachment.
Relative to his efforts in the promo
ton OF aerial flight, Santos Dumont
said:
"The reason l think flying ma
chimes possible is because we have a
motor which can generate one horse
power for every six pounds in weight,
which is even more than the wonder
full American eagle can do, not to
mention the turkey, which can't fly
at all-and both weigh much more
than six pounds. Yet l believe the
conquest of the air will be achieved by
steerable balloons capable OF carrying
many persons"
Emmanuel Alme, formerly chief
secretary to Dumont, claims that his
old chief and Lebaudy are on the
wrong track.
He thinks balloons will never con-
troll the air, even with motors capable
of making headway against strong
currents, for much resistance would
shatter balloons. Such attempts he
deems interesting as experiments, but
practically useless. He is working
himself necessarily at Nanterre ON a
flying machine without balloon. He
believes it will raise bis 8 year old son
and maintain its equilibrium at a
height of several yards, and that when
this is accomplished all will be posi-
BILE.
A new competitor to be for the st.
Louis airship prize is a T. H. Bastin
of London. His machine is on the
mechanical bird principle. The wings
can be controlled separately, and one
man by working one lever, it is assert
ed, can regulate every requisite move
ment of soaring, steering, flying, hov.
ering and descending. The motive
power is supplied to petroleum en-.
gine, and propulsion is achieved by
air resistance to the beating OF the
wings.
This bird" is cylindrical and has
a pointed nose and tail. All the
weight is below the wings, thus main.
tanning its equilibrium. When the
wings are set beating the model needs
two men to hold it back.
These are but q few OF the types
that we may expect to see at st. Louis
next year and the chances should be
good of finding some of them fill the
long felt want OF aerial navigation.
1t seems more probable, however
that the problem will be ultimately
solved by the use of two turbine OF
propeller wheels, one placed horizon.
tally, constructed of the lightest ma.
terisl attainable of sufficient circum.
ference to keep the mechanism and
load suspended, and the other, which
may be much smaller, to propel it for
wards while held at any desired eleva.
ton by the larger wheel. This seems
to embrace a reliance only on we'll
known laws of mechanics, and to be
beyond the possibility of failure with
the exceedingly light motors now
promised for the other forms of loco
motion.

THE SUMNER POET.

Some very promiscious shooting, to say the least, was done at the turkey shoot Wednesday. Wehavn't heard of any one being shot that day over in the Mogollon country, but the only reason there wasn't was that the rife would not carry that far. J. K. Brown was there and after industrially popping away for about an hour, finally suc- ceeded in getting turkey by stalking friend. Gene Sliker also got one, but the bullet struck rock about fifty feet to one side and glanced, accident ally striking the turkey amidships.

Its manifold uses, its great simplicity, it's economical maintenance and its uniform durability and reliability under all conditions demand for it the first place among the engines of the day. Will run anything from the smallest plant in existence where motive power is required to the largest factory. Its uses are co-existent with the demand for an engine-large or small-and of any horsepower or mag nitude required.
