GREAT AND SILENT THINGS.

How silently the years in long procession,
Come gliding down the corridors of Time
TO US!
Oh, quietly they come and take posses
sion
OF our dear youth, and weigh US with op-
preston.
How great they seem, and how sublime
to US.
How softly Love into the Heart comes
creeping
iiow wonderfully low Is her command at
last,
She wakes the soul that erstWhile lay
a-sleeping,
She dries the eyes that were but lately
weeping.
Revealing all her Promised Land at last
And Death! Oh. with a velvet tread she
finds u.s.
And teaches US her awful lore and mys-
terry.
Like sheaves OF wheat are we what time
she binds US.
And in little sheet of whiteness winds
US
And this is all of our poor history.
Oh! We who loudly cry Our names in
Across the mighty years. shall sooner,
later
Go humbly back upon the tide that bore us
us,
Softly to God. silent to our Creator!

Birds Guided by Sfars.

Do you ever venture any conjecture
as to how migratory birds manage to
keep up their flight in due north d.
rection after night? 1t has been proven
that on clear nights they often wing
their northern fight in the rarified
atmosphere three miles above the
earth's surface. This being true, it is
clear that guidance by the topography
of the country is out of the question;
how, then, are they able 10 keep theif
beaks pointing toward the north pole
The scientific ornithologist comes to
the rescue with the declaration that
they are guided by the stars, and in
support of his opinion cites as evidence
the facts that when the stars are OBJ
scured by the clouds the birds become
bewildered and seek the ground.-St
Louis Republic

SERUM FOR HAY FEVER.
Unique Discovery Made by Germa1
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 1t 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
bEmed on the summer heat, exhalation
from grass and new mown hay, mechan-
ical irritation by pollen from grasse and
other plants, and recently to bactema.
According to DIR. Dunbar the disease is
caused by the pollen of grasses, but not by
mechanical irritation. He has extracted
from the pollen poison or toxin, a solu-
ton of which dropped into the eye or
nose at once pI oduces the characteristic
symptoms of hay fever. This discovery
suggested treatment by the serum meth
cd, and Dr. Dunbar set to work to prodrce
curative serum by inoculating animals
with pollen toxin.

Play Was Amended.

A line in the second act of current
burlesque. which has almost made a
record in New York. never fails to amuse
the manager of the performance. al
though the general public probably sees
very little in 1t. Its humor, even for the
manager. does not lie in the words so
much as in the fact that it is the only
speech written by the author that re-
mains in the text. One by one the au-
thor's lines were eliminated. Clever
speeches by the comedians were put in
their place. and other jokes suggested
by the company supplanted the original
text. The result was librstto that
lasted long time, and as the author
continued TO draw his roy aities, ne made
no objection.-N. Y. Sun.

Chewed COrditc to Produce vi.
olent IntOxication.

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 pow
erfui narcotic by eating cordite
charge of cartridges, each of which
contains 60 strands of cordite and is
very similar in appearance to vermi-
celli.
The British Medical Journal gives
particulars of this form of intoxica-
tion. 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 1t resulted
in headache which lasted for 36
hours. Dissolved in tea, 1t produces
almost immediate exhilaration, "incit-
ing almost demoniacal actions" fol-
lowed by heavy stupor of from five
to IL 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.

One result of meteorological research
Is the distinction between infective and
intoxicative diseases. In the former
the general multiplication of micro
organisms in the body of the patient
is the salient feature, while in the lat
ter poisoning is the cause of the mala-
dy. Thus, DR.. Allan Macfayden says.
the dead bodies of typhoid bacilli, al
though destitute of all infective prop
critics, are yet toxic when introduced
into animals in virtue OF the tntra-
cellular poisons that they contain.
Accordingly, in the case of many dis
eases formerly regarded as purely in
fective, it has now become apparent
that, in addition TO the infectiye, the
poisonous properties of the invading
bacterial cells have to be taken into &C

LENGTH OF HUMAN LIFE.
Some Eminent Physicians Think
Their Art Wards Oh Death
for Too Long a Time.

A new and rather startling idea Is
being promulgated by certain eminent
physicians. 1t is that modern medical
science and its allied science of santa
ton is injuriug the human race by pre-
serving too many lives, says the New
York Press. 1t is the better dead"
theory reduced to purely physiologic-
al basis and viewed in the cold, white
light of medical science. A short time
ago DIR. Chaplin, Superintendent of health
of Providence, r. l., read paper before
a medical convention in Boston, IN
which he called attention to the erect
likely to be produced upon future gen.
erations by the saving by medical Skill
Of the lives of weaklings who, instead OF
dying as they would have done in the
natural course of events a few years
ago, now have their lives prolonged un-
til they are married and perpetuate
their own infirmities and weak vitality
In their children. He seriously ques-
toned whether medical skill was not
doing altogether too much for the gen.
eral good of the human race.
Now Dr. Ernest w. White, president
of the London Medico-Psychological as
sociation, declares that one OF the
principal causes of the alarming in
crease of insanity in England is the
fact that "the old, rough law of the sur
vival of the fittsst is not so forcible as
formerly Weaklings who would have
died in infancy in olden days are now
brought up to marry and perpetuate the
faulty stock" The course of action
for the medical practitioner which
might logically be deduced from such
teachings as these is one from which
both Dr. Chaplin and DR.. White would
undoubtedly shrink. When the med
ical profession ceases to believe that its
first duty is to save life, let the conse-
uuences be what they may, the medical
profession will have ceased to be OF
value to mankind.
The idea of improving the race by the
elimination of its weaklings is older
than civilization and was practiced be-
fore Esculapius. 1t is to-day custom
among many savage tribes. yet neither
in the past nor in the present has II re-
suited in the production of an ideal race.
Sparta is become name, attached to
short-lived experiment, and the race 1t
produced has utterly vanished away.
A stringently enforced law against the
marriage of those manifestly unfit to
perpetuate the race would, however, be
of benefit to humanity and is probably
as far rs the advocates of the better
dead" theory would go in the practical
application Cf their ideas.

INHALING RADIUM.
Newly Discovered Metal to BE USED
I'm the Cure of Con-
~ sumption.

Radium has wrought such curative ef.
fects in so many diseases that new
promise nowadays is not regarded with
the wonder that attended the early ap-
plication of this medicinal metal, says
the Boston Advertiser But in the sue
cess of the most recent experiments in
inhaling the emanations of radium into
the lungs as a cure for phthisis (com-
monty known as consumption there lies
the prediction of even more astounding
results to the medical world. While ra-
dium, with the X-ray and the Finsen
violet ray, has been used in cases of tu-
berculosis Of the skin. the most sanguine
physicians have not hoped to extend its
application to consumption CT the lungs.
This fall a Boston physician. who is or
the staff of the Boothby hospital, will
bring TO Boston from abroad a few
grains of radium, and as his work has
been in treating cases of skin tubercu,
losis. he will experiment with radium as
a cure for consumption.
1t Is known that a bit OF this metal
placed in dark room, will make dia.
mold shine, so powerful is its radio OF
roy activity. and accordingly the eman-
ations of the metal, when absorbed into
the lungs. in the few cases already tried
accomplish greater results in five min
utes than the ordinary consumption
treatment would in five years. The
destruction of the lung cells and tissue.
is stopped, the surfaces heal over, ant
breathing becomes natural. OF course
the radium emanations are tempered by
passage through some metal, which re-
duces their intensity, but the healing ef.
feet is not lost. After the metal has
been well tested at our consumptive hos.
pitfalls, we shall know its full value.

SULTAN'S UNEASY HEAD.
Turkeys Ruler Pays Dearly for Guard
to Protect Him Every
Night.

The lot of the sultan of Turkey is not
an eDviable one, and his. terror at pres,
ent is such that he is paying $500 a
night for a guard which insures more
or less tranquil repose. Sleep at that
price is pretty expensive necessity.
That amount of money is daily received
by the members OF the special military
staff which guards Abdul Hamid's bed
room, and which consists of two gen.
erals, colonel, a major, a captain and
several soldiers. For their nights work
each of the two generals gets so Turkish
pounds-or about S235-the colonel $40,
the major, $35: the captain, $50, and each
soldier one dollar, the entire amount ag-
gregating slightly over 5000 in Amer
ican money. The officers and men get
their fees every morning Immediately
after they have been relieved, and don't
have to wait for it, like some pretty big
nations to whom Abdul Hamid owes
money.
The expensive night guard of the sui
tan has been maintained by him only
since the recent assassination of the
royal couple of Servia. Of course the
timorous ruler Of Turkey always has
been practically well guarded at night,
but the murders at Belgrade scared Abb
dull Hamid out of his wits, and he imme-
diately determined that he would sur
round his bedchamber with the most
vigilant men who could be secured, and
make it to their interest to protect him
The command of the special night guard
is intrusted to eight of the sultan's most
trusted generals, two of whom are on
duty every night. Owing chiefly to this
and other precautions that the ruler
adopted recently it is estimated that the
weekly expense OF running Yildiz kiosk
is over $4,000.

Odd Engfneering Problem.

In constructing the power transmits
sion line from the Cauvery falls to the
Kolar gold mines in Mysore, India. which
was recently completed. the American
engineer employed to do the work had
TO deal with some uncommon problems.
The line. 92 miles long. is carried on lofty
poles through the jungle. Here the dep
relations Of white ants and wild ele-
plants had to be prevented. The ants
attacked the poles and the elephants
pulled at the wires. Iron sockets seven
feet high were found to be effective
against the ants, and after careful meas
urements of the highest reach of the ele-
plants trunks, the wires were struck at
a safe elevation.

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

On an autumn evening, when the
crickets are out enjoying life too, 1t
is very interesting to be able 20 tell
the temperature of the air by tho num-
ber 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
tho 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
1rown out the cricket's; the noise Of
passing vehicles, etc.. are very apt to
interrupt at the critical moment Of
