body organs called the adrenal
glands. a Japanese chemist, Taxa
mine, extracted from these glands a
peculiar substance known as adren-

The progress of civilization is shown,
says Telephony. by the compile
ton of a telephone line thru a thick
jungle, $50 miles wide, in the heart Of
Africa. 1T has been built by the Bel
gian government to enable the var
ious Belgian colonies to communicates
with one another. The wires are
strung on iron posts. and on the largest
trees of the jungle. Some of the poles
are half mile apart, where the wires
cross a swift river or a dangerous
swamp. Posts could not be used on
account of the white ants and the
large number of elephants made 1T
necessary to keep the wires high above
the ground. AS storms will throw
trees across the line, and wasps will
make their nexts In the insulators,
and natives are liable to steal the wire,
the Belgian government expects to
have trouble in keeping the line

Apropos of Flora Mcdonald Thomp-
sons article on THE Truth About
Women in Industry" Charlotte Per
kins Gilman observes in The Wom-
ans Journal that a little more
truth" about the. labor of women
within the sacred precincts of the
home" would be enlightening. Mrs.

equations. No such frailty is ever al
legged" observes Mrs. Gilman, "as an
excuse for avoiding fifteen hours Of
housework. The frailty of fifteen out
of sixteen of our women does not pre-
vent them from doing the work Tor
which we hire vigorous peasants, and
Il
carving on maternal duties besides.
They sicken and die under this strain
| in considerable numbers. Perhaps If
| Mrs. Thompson could give us the fig
ures as to the health rate of the wom-
en- who work at home, it might show
Just as much disability as that of the
women who work in shops
