SERUM FOR HAY FEVER.
Unique Discovery Made by German
Professor After Seven Years
of Research.

Announcement is made that hay fever
can be cured by inoculating animals with
poison or toxin extracted from the poll
len of flowers, and then injecting the
serum obtained from the animals blood
into the patient. The discovery was made
by Prof. Dunbar, of Hamburg, Germany,
after seven years of research, and it dis
proves popular medical theory as to the
nature of the disease.
The six or eight weeks of violent sneez-
ing called hay fever" are variously
blamed on the summer heat, eXhalation
from grass and new mown hay. mechan-
zeal irritation by pollen from grasses and
other plants, and recently to bactema
According to DR.. Dunbar the disease is
caused by the pollen of grasses, but not by
mechanical irritation. He has extracted
from the pollen poison or toxin, solu-
ton of which dropped into the eye or
nose at once produces the characteristic
symptoms of hay fever This discovery
suggested treatment by the serum meth
cd, and DR. Dunbar set to work to produce
a curative serum by inoculating animals
with pollen toxin.

INSECT THERMOMETER.
Chirps of the Lively Little Cricket
Bear n Close Relation to the
Temperature.

On an autumn evening, when the
crickets are out enjoying life too, it
is very interesting to be able to tell
the temperature of the air by the num-
Der of chirps the cricket makes per
minute.
1t seems that the rate of chirps is
affected by the temperature, and the
exact relation of the temperature to
the number of chirps has been esti-
mated. With little care in counting,
one soon becomes expert enough to tell
the temperature within one or two de-
grees Fahrenheit.
One meets with many discourage
ments at first as he tries hard to count
every chirp; the cricket stops before
the minute Is up; other insects notes
drown out the cricket's; the noise Of
passing vehicles, ETC., are very apt to
interrupt at the critical moment of

French revolving light. AS soon as
this became manifest, work was begun
on a light reflector or protector equal
to the largest ever used 1t was to
represent 3O,OO0,OOO candle power and
to last no longer than one-tenth of a
second, the flashes following each 9TH
er every five seconds.
This wonderful light now illumines
the entire horizon around Heligoland.
In normal weather it can be seen for
% leagues, and in favorable weather
the beams go far beyond the central
fires or light rays On the first night
that the new light was used its beams
were seen by people standing on the
mole at Busum, distance of 40 miles,
and since then the watchers in the
lighthouse at Amrum, about the same
distance, have been able in unfavorable
weather to see the same beams and
were struck by the fact that the other
wise bluish-white Of the light of the
electric arc appeared red.

POWERFUL NARCOTIC.
The British Soldiers In South Africa
Chewed COrdite to Produce Vi
client IntOxicatiOu.

During the South African campaign
the British soldiers discovered a new
and extraordinary form of intoxication.
The ingenious privates found that they
could get all the excitement of a pow
erful narcotic by eating a cordite
charge of cartridges, each of which
contains 60 strands of cordite and is
very similar in appearance 10 vermi-
celli.
The British Medical Journal gives
particulars of this form of intoxica-
ton. 1t says that Major Jennings, on
learning that the men had been eating
cOrdite, made experiments himself.
On sucking a strand he found it sweet,
pleasant and pungent, but it resulted
in headache which lasted for SO
hours. Dissolved in tea, it produces
almost immediate exhilaration, "incit-
ing almost demoniacal actions" fol-
lowed by a heavy stupor of from five
to II hours, according to quantity
taken. Added to beer it produces the
worst effects, exciting a quarrelsome
and destructive mania and producing
the most rapid intoXication.

Francisco, as experimenting naval con-
struction for number of naval vessels
under construction there, among them
the battleship Wisconsin. He was on
duty at the Union iron works at the
breaking out of the Spanish-American
war
One of the first requests of Admiral
Dewey after the battle of Manila bay,
May l, 1898 was to have a constructor
ordered on his staff, and Constructor
Caps was selected for that important
duty. He spent more than a year In
Manila and earned the highest COM
mendatiOn from Admiral Dewey for his
professional work. Such of the sunken
Spanish vessels as he considered worthy
of repair after examination were raised
under his direction and put in such con-
dition in Cavite that they went to Hong
Kong under their own steam There
they were later repaired under the super
vision of Naval Constructor Hobson, to
whom has often been ascribed the credit
for their raising, but as matter of fact
that work was entirely under Mr. Capps.
He returned to this country with Adj
miral Dewey on the Olympia in the au-
tumn of 1899. He was ordered to Wash
ington, where he did duty in the buerau
of construction and repair and upon the
board of inspection and survey for about
