CANCER CAUSED BY BURNS.
Prevalence Of the Malady Among the
Natives Of Kashmir Thus
Accounted For.

Jonathan Hutchinson, during his re-
cent trip to India, made some interest
ing observations on disease, and he COM
ments upon them in his usual interesting
way, says the Philadelphia Medical Rec
ord. In the Polyclihic for May appears
an editorial on the cause of cancer
which, II we mistake not, is from Mr..
Hutchinson's pen, for 1t has all the ear
marks OF his style and Of his turn Of
thought. The writer Of the editorial
calls attention to the peculiar form Of
cancer that prevails in Kashmir-the
Vale OF Cashmere" Of the poets. This
variety Of cancer Is an epitholioma,
which is not peculiar in a historical
sense, but Is merely Of peculiar origin.
The site Of the growth Is either the alb
domen or the inside Of the thigh. OF 20
cases reported by Elmslie as long ago
as 1866 four were in females and Is In
males.
DR.. Elmslie attributed the disease to
curious local custom of the inhabitants
Of Kashmir. It seems that Kashmir,
which is an elevated valley among high
mountains, has a severe winter climate,
and the natives carry what is called 4
kangri.
This is a small brazier, filled with
burning charcoal, and is carried under
meath the clothing. It Is Of earthenware,
protected by wickerwork. When the
bearer is in the erect position the kangri
hangs on the abdomen, but when sitting
1t is placed between the thighs In
Kashmir no man, woman or child thinks
1t possible to be comfortable in winter
without kangri under the clothes.
Other writer's have described this PEE
culiar custom, and a reference is made
to 1t in the British encyclopedia.
Recently some valuable additions to
our knowledge Of kangri cancer have
been made by DR.. Neve, the head Of q
stationed at Kashmir. He proves
that the disease Is common, for he re-
fers to nearly 500 cases. These cases
point indubitably to local irritation
frequently repeated burns from the kan
gri-as the cause Of the disease. In this
respect the subject Of kangri cancer
offers nothing new, for the fact that
cancer originates in local irritation u
generally accepted.

WAR HAS IT'S SURPRISES.
Unexpected Results Of Conflicts Be.
tween Great Nations Have
Often Come to Pass,

What novelty or what surprise will
this east Asian war produce? There may
be none, yet the chances would seem to
be that one will be forthcoming. as in
each OF the many modern wars, says the
New York Tribune of recent date. Ma
poleon surprised all Europe with tho
hexibility Of his military organizations
and the celebrity of their movements, The
war Of 1912 surprised the world with
an amazing series of sea victories, due
to improved navigation and the sighting
OF cannons. Our civil war revolution
lied naval warfare with ironclads and
turrets. The Austro-Prussiau war of
1866 brought forward the perfected
breech loader, while the great Franco
German war surprised the world with
the deadly potency Of rapid-fre artil-
lery. The Russo-Turkish war gave an
Illustration at Plevna Of the value of the
spade, which enabled the thinned leg
IONS OF osman to hold at bay and to
repe! with mighty slaughter the over
whelming myriads Of the Russian army.
Inc boer war showed the efficiency OF
smokless powder and long-range arms,
and the need of open formation in bat
tie and great mobility of troops.
The present war ought, we should
think, to teach us some new lessons. The
value OF the torpedo, the torpedo boat
and the torpedo boat destroyer should
be more accurately demonstrated than
ever before. Whether the submarine
boat will be used and its efficiency as
certained is not yet known. Wireless
telegraphy had its first opportunity of
service In war. There is also q rare
chance to compare the relative values
OF sea power and of land power. Nor
should we overlook the fact, on the one
hand, that the newest Of civilized ma
lions and the first of Asiatic nations to
enter the charmed circle Of the great
powers is for the first time to show its
capacity in great war, and, on the 9TH
er hand, that the European power which
is OF all most populous. and which has
by the far the largest army, is now to
show whether its military efficiency is
commensurate with its physical bulk.
Already there have been some sur.
prises. The Russians were surprised at
Port Arthur. The world has been sur
prised at the readiness and ag-
gressive energy of the Japanese
and at the apparent unreadiness
OF Russia for "a contest for
which she was supposed to be particu-
larly well prepared. But all these things
are merely opening fourishes. The real
work Of the war has not yet begun.
When it is well under way and by the
time it Is completed what surprises will
the world have had and what new les
sons in the most terrible Of the arts shall
