CURE FOR HAY FEVER,
Anne rican Scientist Mt Hamburg Dis i
covers New Treatment.

Anne rican Scientist at Hamburg Dis.
covers n New Treatment.
An important discovery in medical
science has been made by Professor
William Dunbar, native Of st. Paul.
Mimi, now at the head of the famous
Hygienic institute at Hamburg, says
Berlin special cable to the New York
Times, and it Is expected that 1t will
cause something Of sensation in sci
entific circles in America. His discov-
cry is nothing less than cure for hay
fever.
Professor Dunbar says that the dis
ease is caused by the pollens Of gram
tneR (grasses). Rye pollens, for exam
pie, contain substance which dis
solves in the blood and acts on hay
fever patients as specific violent poi
son. DR.. Dunbar's cure ia a toxine
made Of serum taken from rabbits. 1t
is obtained by innoculating these ami.
mails with poison extracted from Dol.
lens Of various kinds of grasses. The
method Of using the cure Is a simple
one. The patient remains indoors from
six to eight weeks, with closed win
dows, during which time he Is treated
with the serum.
Professor Dunbar, who is himself a
hay fever victim, made his discovery
while travelling from Hamburg to Ber-
lin on a railway train with open win.
dows. Passing through a ryefield, he
was attacked by the disease, but when
he closed the windows the irritat ton at
once decreased. Following up this
chance discovery further, he found that
by keeping his windows closed his sick
ness gradually disappeared. Professor
Dunbar now says that the hay fever
bacillus does not multiply in the body
of the patient. The serum also has no
effect on healthy body. but only on
those who are afflicted with Wy fever.
Professor Dunbar ia one Of the most
noted biologists Of Germany. He went
to Germany from st. Paul as a boy.
He attended the gymnasium and later
several German universities. When
the Hygienic institute was opened in
Hamburg, Dunbar was appointed d.
rector Of it. He distinguished himself
at the time Of the last cholera epidem-

AUTOMOBILE NOVELTIES,
Ingenious New Things Seen at New
York's Motor vehicle show.

Ingenious New Things Seen at New
York's Motor Vehicle Show.
A noteworthy feature of the automo.
bile show in New York was In the
coloring Of automobile bodies. There
were, for instance, the Columbia light
blue and silver ''angel" at the Smith
& Mable stand; mobile that has been
dubbed the yellow Kid" being paint
ed and upholstered throughout in that
color; an all white Panama tonneau;
two Robinsons. respectively red with
black stripes and sage green with
: black trimmings and yellow wheels,
and an olive green Moyea with yellow
running gear, says the New York Her
aid.
Clever contrivances in the way of
fittings or improvements on conven-
tonal construction were seen on every
hand. One tonneau door locks auto
matically when closed, obviating the
danger of Its swinging open. A steer
Ing wheel adjustable t. the reach and
size of the driver and permitting him
to step In and out without inconven-
fence Is another new thing. A La
France automobile has its individual
seats in front divided by catchall
box convenient for carrying a flask or
small object.
Tires have received much attention.
The method of detaching them has
been simplifled so that the inner tube
may be more readily taken out for re-
pairs. Attempts at solving the non
puncturabiity problem are numerous.
A leather tread fastened to the shoe
by leather wires is one Of them. Wire
wheels are going out of style. The
tendency Is entirely toward artillery
wheels of solid wood or with tubular
spokes.
A novelty at the show was an cleo.
trio vehicle that carries gasoline
motor to recharge the batteries while
the car Is ON the road. 1t is the inven-
ton of New York man, who has used
the car for the last few months. He
seeks relief from the recharging trou.

UNIQUE BOWLING BALL,
Latest Device to Enable Clubmen to
Roll High Scores.


The interest In bowling Is so intense
that students of the game are resorting
to all sorts of schemes and devices
which will assist them in rolling up big
scores, says the Philadelphia Ledger
and Times. The loaded ball was intro
duced some time ago, but the latest de-
vice is ball made of rubber. An Ak
ron CO., man is responsible for the lat
est innovation, and the results he has
obtained from 1t have greatly pleased
him. He expects the ball will meet
with much favor. 1t is made of hard
rubber and is warranted not to wear
out. 1t can be made of any weight and
always maintains gloss which is
missing in the lignum vitae balls after
they have been used for short time.
The ball is Of solid rubber, and. con-
trary to general expectations, does not
rebound when 1t strikes the pins. In
every respect these balls are the same
as the lignum vitae balls, with the ex-
ception that they do not crack or chip.
One feature which will not be relished
by bowlers who contemplate purchas.
ing them is that they will cost about 81
per pound.

A REPORT ON FORMALIN.
Dr. Rarrows Describes Its Value
For Blood Poisoning.

Dr. haFEowb -.
For Blood Poisoning.
DR.. Charles G. Barrows made re-
port recently TO the New York Acad-
envy OF Medicine on the use Of for
malin as a cure for blood poisoning In
the case which first attracted public
notice, says the New York Herald. He
told OF the treatment of the negro wo-
man whom he found In Bellevue hos
pital in New York dying of blood pol
soning.
The first injection of 500 cubic cen
tImeters OF solution OF formalin
In the proportion of l to 5000 caused
a drop In temperature, and the second
injection OF solution of the same
strength. using $50 cubic centimeters,
placed the woman on the road TO re
covery.
DIR. Barrows said that culture OF
the patients blood made before the
injection showed the presence OF strep-
ticocci, the bacteria which. he holds,
are the cause OF sepsis. and when the
woman had practically recovered he
found 10 trace of streptlcocci. From
this case he therefore drew the con-
clusion that the formalln had destroy
ed the strepticocci and that il could do
no harm.
He said he had thought OF the for.
malin treatment because he had been
Informed by DR.. Fleming, superintend-
ent OF the Loomis sanitarium M Lib
erty. n. Y, that fifty cubic centimeters
hyde gas, or formalin, had been eff
cacious IN the treatment OF tubercu.
losis. He said he knew from the ex-
periments made at Liberty that the
formalin treatment was at least not
dangerous, and he reasoned that as 1t
was a germicide it might In diluted
form destroy bacteria in the blood.
The woman was dying. He had TAX
en- all the surgical precautions which
might be used to save her. Ii occurred
to him then TO try formalln. The result
was that she now walks the wards of
Bellevue, and In few days, II is ex-
pected, she will be discharged.
DR.. Barrows paid tribute to DR.. Ma
guire, an English practitioner.
Il have learned" he said. "since my
use Of formalin Of the brilliant work of
DR.. Mcguire, who in December. 1900,
published an article In the London Ian.
Get In which he described the use of
formalin in tuberculosis. He injected
a solution into his own veins In order
to determine how much the human
system could stand. and he reported
that the maximum was 1000 to 1000.
He subsequently used enough Of the So
luton to be equivalent to one-fifty-
thousandth OF the amount Of blood in

Handkerchief Fads For Women

The very latest fad in handker'
chiefs for women Is to have them dyed
to match each gown, and no matter
what the shade may be it can be ex.
actly matched by the dyer in lawn,
batiste or silk handkerchiefs, says the
New York Tribune. These handker.
chiefs are plain, with only the narrow
est hem possible. In the matter OF
white handkerchiefs there is much
elaboration both in lace and en-
broidery. the latest fancy beirg small
handkerchiefs Of white silk, finished
with a tiny edge Of velvet. Others
have inch wide borders Of pink silk.

One Of the most gigantic mining op,
erations ever undertaken is about to be
carried out at Cripple Creek, Colo. A
tunnel no fewer than fourteen miles In
length is to be bored In order that the
minerals may be brought through and
forwarded to the coast. The real adj
vantage will be that the ore will then
be able to pass from the mine to the
port over u comparatively level plane
Of transit, whereas now the mineral
has to be transported over the range
Of mountains.

Representative Bill Reider's prize
blade Of Kansas grass, measuring
twenty eight feet, is causing the de-

much worry, says the st. Louis Re-

Kansas representative, and he present
ed it to the department Of agriculture.
OF course Bill had no way of getting 1t
to Washington and In his presentation
left the matter of transportation to
Secretary Wilson.
1t is too long to put into an ordinary
car, as it has been carefully Grated 40
that 1t will not break. Secretary VIII
son has been advised that in about two
months time a special car will leave
st. Louis for Washington, and that this
car being Of the proper length the grass
freak will be sent in it.

CHANGE OF NAME.
How It is Done in the Courts of Chi
cago-The Cost.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago tribune.
If your name isn't just to your liking,
and one suggests itself to your imagination
as prettier or more distinguished, the cir
cult courts of Cook county are prepared to
equip you with the new designation just
so soon as you have complied with the
court procedures and paid the costs of the
case For 1t comes to bit of court pro-
cedure and the expenditure of $50, perhaps
before the new name is accredited and en-
tered as permanent and binding by court
decree.
Generally speaking they are persons
of most common or most uncommon
names who seek the processes of the courts
to effect the change. The first move that
is made is the filing of a petition directed
to the judges of the circuit court, asking
for the change, and specifying the name
which the petitioner seeks. Previous to this
petition card announcing the application
for the change must have been printed
six times in legal newspaper in the coun-
ty, and each of these notices must have
been printed before the opening day of the
court term.
Ten dollars is the fee for filing the petit
ton. According to the circulation of the
legal newspaper the charge for printing the
notices will be great or small, and when the
application goes before the court for a
hearing the petitioner will have to be repre-
sented by counsel. So that by the time
decree IS rendered, allowing Jacob yell
ler,' for instance. to take the name of
Ernest H. Burgess" the cost may easily
have been $40. AS to the time necessary.
it may have been from six weeks to three
years.
Naturally more men than women apply
to the courts to have their names changed,
but simply a glance at the indces in the
office of the circuit clerk will indicate
something of the proportion of women to
men in these petitions. One woman to
five men is about the proportion of chang
ing names in Chicago; sometimes there is
a rush on the courts, and again for weeks
not a single application is filed. In many
cases there is a slight cause on the face
Of things to prompt the petition. Where a
rame is of foreign extraction and unwieldy
and difficult to pronounce it is recognized
at once that to Anglicize it is a matter
which really concerns the public welfare.
On the other hand, there are applications
for change of name where only a family
prejudice could have influenced the re-
quest.

Sherman on the Frontier.

Ex-senator John P. Jones of Nevada and
Colonel John Boyd were standing in front
of the Ebbitt House yesterday swapping ex-
periences of early days on the frontier
Then they got to talking about General
Sherman.
Il knew General Sherman very we'll on
the frontier" said Colonel Boyd. He was
a great soldier and man of broad mind
1 recall little episode of the early days of
the Southern Pacific railway. The railroad
wanted to cross the Fort Yuma military
reservation and was opposed by the Secre-
tary of War General Sherman was then
at San Francisco, on his way to Arizona
where there was serious trouble with the
Indians
When the Secretary issued his order for
bidding the railroad to pass through the
reservation c. p. Huntington determined to
go ahead anyhow. So one Saturday night
he threw gang of men upon the scene and
by Monday morning a pontoon bridge had
carried the road across the river and
through the reservation.
General Sherman was sent down to In
vestigate. He reported that the railroad
was a civiliZing influence in that remote re-
gon and should not be disturbed. AS re-
suit of his recommendation the road re-
manned"

Big Horse With Long Stride.


Gen. Sherman would never ride one of
those fancy gated horses" said Gen E. D.
Kirby of this city, in speaking of the great
civil war general. He always had stand
ing order with the chief quartermaster to
keep his eyes open for a fast walking ami
NAL and that is the kind of a horse the
general always rode, a big animal with
long stride and one that walked so swiftly
that the horses of his staff officers were
kept on a dog trot' in order to keep up
with the procession. The general never
seemed attracted by the fancy stepperS,
but whenever he saw an animal that could
cover the distance in good time as a walker
he always expressed desire to own the
animal"
Capt. NJ. F. Madigan of Cleveland, who
was in Sherman's command, told Star
reporter that the general had a habit of
walking back and forth in front of his
tent. late in the night. when on the field.
The general seemed to form his most sue
cessful plans of battle during these little
pacingS back and forth in front of his tent"
said Capt. Madigan, land when we noticed
him walking up and down the small space
in front of headquarters we felt sure that
on the morrow there would be something
to do in the battle line.
II recall an incident illustrating the gen.
erals good nature and his habit of making
the best of bad conditions" continued the
captain. During the Atlanta campaign
were cut off from supplies for a long
time, and the continued marching had worn
away the shoes of a large number OF the
men. 1t was impossible to obtain any
more. One day the men were marching
past Gen. Sherman and a number of staff
officers when the commanding officer saw
the lines of men marching in their bare
feet, with their trousers rolled up to their
knees. The general was a spare man, and
when he saw some of the strong, brown
limbs of the men in the ranks he turned
to one of the officers and remarked:
Gosh! Look at those legs. I'd give
both of mine for one of them.
