This Plant Coughs Up Dust.

Man has not monopoly of coughing.
Before there was vertebrate on the
earth, while man was in process Of
evolution through the vegetable world,
Etada tussiens-that is what botanists
call him, while we know him as Tho
coughing bean"-coughed and blew
dust out of his lungs. Recently botan.
lists have been giving special attention
to this bean, and tell Undressing things
about it. It is a native of warm and
moist tropical countries, and objects
most emphatically to dust. When dust
settles on the branching pores in the
leaves of the plant and chokes them q
gas accumulates inside, and when it
gains sufficient pressure there comes
an explosion with sound exactly like
coughing and the dust is blown from
it's lodgment. And, more strange still,
the plant gets red in the face through
the effort.

FACTS ABOUT LEPROSY.
Greek Scientist Claims That In Its
First Stages This LOathsOme
Disease liz Durable.

OF all the diseases which desolate
humanity leprosy is perhaps the one
which produces the most terror
among all peoples, and it is with the
greatest satisfaction that we learn
that this terrible evil has just been
the object of an admirable effort Oh
the part of DR.. Filaretopoulo, profess
sor in the faculty of medicine at Ath-
ems. For the past six months he has
studied the leper in the very hotbed
of the disease, the leper houses OF
Crete, returning full of hope and
courage.
1t is too generally believed that
thu leper has disappeared, if no.
from the world, at least from our
own land; but it is not necessary to
60 very far to find him, and this sui
fees to justify all the measures which
are taken against him. These meas.
ures are of general interest, more
general than one thinks, for it is
nearly certain that leprosy is but an
aggravated form of tuberculosis, and
that that which destroys the one will

etopoulo has come with his figures, and
he tells us that at present there are
100000 lepers in the world. This fig
ure is very much lower than the
actual number, for it represents only
the certain cases, and the statistics
for the orient, where the disease has
full sway, are of doubtful accuracy.
Have not these figures terrible
eloquence, and does not every one
feel, in considering them, the neces-
sity for prompt and energetic &C
ton? This is all the more the case
since, according to DR.. Filaretopoulo,
sf the disease is taken at it's COM
a,encement it is durable, it's slow evo-
lusion-fve OR six years in general
permitting continuous effort to ar.
rest its progress.
Lerrosy is hereditary, and probably
contagious, and however great the re-
st-ictions, the lepers contaminate
others. It is this contagion which
it is first necessary to do away with.
Dr.. Fi}aretopoulo states that the dan
ger proceeds from want of care in

Insanity Among Women.

A German scientist, Prof. thinner,
of Berlin. has of late devoted con.
siderable time to the investigation of
the causes of insanity among women,
and has come to the conclusion that
if women are admitted into compe-
tition with men the inevitable will be
a tremendous increase of insanity
among the women. He finds that the
percentage of women teachers who
become insane is almost double that
of the men teachers. Inquiries were
also made about women employed
as telegraph, sales clerks and in the
telephone service, and, furthermore,
with regard to women engaged in the
Swiss matchmaking trade. These in
quiries showed that in the occupa-
tons mentioned far larger proper
ton of women than men succumb to
mental disorders.-Chicago Chron-
icle.

ASIATIC TRAITS OF MEXICANS
Chicago Educator Makes Some In
aerestinE Discoveries ON Recent
Trip In Mexico.

Prof. Frederick Starr, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, told one of his
classes last summer that q careful
study of the Mayas, a tribe of Indi-
ans in the interior of Yucatan, led
him to believe that upon the back of
every baby born in the tribe would
be found purple spot. On his re-
turn recently from Mexico he an
announced that investigation had
confirmed this surmise, reports the
Chicago Chronicle. The spot appears
on the back of every newborn infant
of the tribe, disappearing about four
months after birth. The same pne-
nomenon is common among many
Mongolians, and it's presence in
America may result in proving that
the Aztecs were not the original set
tiers of Mexico.
If the Mayas can be proved to be
of more ancient origin than supposed,
and if subsequent investigation
shows that they possess other physi-
cal peculiarities in common with
Asiatic tribes, the evidence will go
far toward supporting the theory
that this continent was originally
peopled by migrations across Boring
straits, according to Prof. Starr.
In his exploration of the "baths of
Montezuma," Prof. Starr found evil
dences of habitations which point
conclusively to the presence of a
fri, ~ II
whose habits correspond closely with
the cliff dwellers of Arizona. Rooms,
evidently one occupied as human hab-
itations, were found cut out of the
solid rock about the edges of the ba-
sin, and other evidences served to
confirm this view.
Prof. Starr is convinced that Mex
leo holds the key to the problems
which have so long baffled students
of American archaeology.
The Telephone Girl Secure.
"Women have to fight for an even
chance with men in other lines" said
one of the officials of the New York
Telephone company the other day,
"but in our business they are in no
danger from male competition. It
would be simply impossible to run a
telephone exchange with male oper-
ators. Who ever heard of q hello
boy? There is trouble enough with
boys answering the phone in offices,
and there is no danger of their be-
ing used in place of girls in the tele-
phone exchanges. It is not chiefly
because girls are steadier, more at
tentive and more polite, but it is be-
cause a girls voice carries better
over the wire than boys, being
higher, clearer and more penetrating.
But there is a still more important
reason. A girl can tell what the fell
low on the other end of the wire is
trying to say, when boy would be
shouting hopelessly: What did you
say?'"-N. Y. Times. t'~ss

Camak, Ga, July 26.-Two killed and
six wounded, four of them, it is be-
lived fatally, is the result of a row at
a negro church here tonight in which
pistols and razors played a deadly
part.
The entire negro population of the
town is terrorized as a result of the
affray, and it is impossible to learn
the real cause of the trouble.
The shooting started over a dispute
of some sort. There was then a wild
rush to get from the building, and it
is believed that many of the wound
ed were hurt in this. Women and
children We're trampled under foot by
men, who with knives and pistols in
their hands. were trying to escape foes
armed in the same manner.
AS yet it is impossible to learn the
names of those who did the shooting.
1t seems that nearly every negro man
in the building was using either a pis-
toll or a knife, and it may never be
known whose efforts to kill were effec-
