Some Queer Facts Have Come to
Light During study of the
Dreaded Disease.

Cancer has been attributed at one
time or another to the consumption
of tomatoes, salt and arsenic, or,
rather, to write accurately, it has been
suggested that these articles might be
contributing causes, says the New
York Mining Record. A correspondent
q short time ago wrote to the London
Daily Chronicle stating his belief that
cancer might be caused by eating wa
tercress, because he had found fresh
water shrimps and some worms in a
specimen of this vegetable which he
had purchased.
The letter to the Chronicle has given
rise to somewhat animated discus
sion and among others who took up
the matter was George II. Sims the
well-known writer, who contributed
to his own journal. the Referee, some
well-matured thoughts anent the sub
jecf
Andrew Wilson then entered the
lists, and in both journals ridiculed
the idea that there could possibly be
any connection between watercress
and cancer. At the same time, this is
by no means the first occasion on which
raw vegetables, which would comprise
watercress, have been laid under sus-
picion as a possible cause of cancer.
Some of the most eminent German in
vestigators have given us their opin-
ion that there may be some relation
ship between uncleanly raw vegetables
and the disease. If it be granted that
cancer is of parasitic origin, then
might not the germ be taken into the
system by eating raw vegetables?
Dr. Lyons, of Buffalo, some time ago
made Investigations into the relative
frequency of cancer among the differ
ent nationalities of that city, and found
that the malady was most frequent
among the German population, notori-
Gus for consuming uncooked yegeta-
bles in large quantities. OF course
scientific proofs are wanting TO SUBJ
stantiate the theory. and that vegeta-
bic eaters in Buffalo are more subject
to cancer than the rest of its citizens
may be nothing more than coinci-
dence. Nevertheless, if such were
found to be the case in other parts Of
the world. strong priori argument
would be established that there is
decided relationship between cancer
and uncleanly raw vegetables.

MAPS OF AMERICA.


An entertainment Of much interest
from the standpoint Of the anti
quarian was given recently ct the
Marquette school, under the direc-
tion OF Miss Fanny N. Bacons the
principal, the main feature OF which
was the exhibition Of ten old maps
Of portions Of the American conti-
nent. They are the property Of Mr..
Sidney Clemenson, of Boston, who se-
cured them while travelling in Aus
tralia from French consul, and
were loaned to Miss Bacon, reports
the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Eight Of them were made by
Pownall, who came to America in 1853
as royal governor to the colonies OF
Massachusetts,, New Jersey and
South Carolina in succession. He re-
turned to England in 1761 and OBJ
tanned seat in parliament. The last
part of his life was devoted to anti
quarian studies. These maps were
published in London in 1874.
The other two maps were published
in Paris in 1906. One of the English
maps gives the 13 original states;
one OF the French maps shows II
stars and II states. None Of the
English maps shows Washington or
St. Louis. The French map does.
There is no Chicago on either Of the
maps. Cahokia and Kaskaskia are
on all Of the maps. One Of the old
maps gives the United States and bor-
dering Spanish possessions, gives the
four old paths across the country
upper" middle" 'lower" and "old
trading path One shows an old
wagon road, where the railroad now
goes through -Harper's Ferry. The
endless mountains in Pennsylvania
are shown, and the mountains in the
southwestern part of the old Unit
ed States" in which there is gap
for horses" One map shows that
California is not an island" The
Gulf of California seemed to make
old California an island until finally
travelling to the head Of the gulf 1t
was discovered that California could
be reached by land" New Albion
is shown on one of these maps, and
Mexico stretches north through the
present UNITED States" On another
map is marked "The French ascend
the River Missoury thus high," "And
the Mississippi unknown" "The Wa
bash, or St. Jerome, according to the
French"
Many other interesting relics were
added to the exhibition, one of them
being a copy of the first chapter OF
the city of Ste. Genevieve, Mo-, pub
lished at Kaskaskia, ILL.,, in 1912. 1t
belongs to the library of the late
Gen. Rozier, of that city. A pair
of slippers given by Pierre Laclede
to Miss Vale belongs to the same
collection. A poem on the capture
OF Fort Kaskaskia in 177s, written by
Capt. St. Gem, of Ste. Genevieve, is
now owned by Miss Chauncey Glenn
