ORIGIN OF THE LIGHT CURE
How It's Discoverer Glanced Upon In
formation Which Led to Its
Perfection.

Prof. Finsen, who died few days ago
at Copenhagen, was only 43 years of age,
but for more than half of that time he
had been ailing from liver and heart
troubles. He adopted the most severe
methods to keep himself alive. He was
operated on number of times. All his
food and drink were carefully weighed.
He spent the last three years of his life
lying on his back. It was by a strange
chance, says London paper, that Fin
sen took up the study which has made
his name famous the world over. He
had a gift for invention and produced
widely varying things, as dissect1ng
knife, an improved breech-loading gun
a cool summer hoAse, cooking appa-
ratus and some haematine lozenges
There fell into his hands a pamphlet
dated 1882, by DR.. Picton, of New Or
leans, which narrated that during the
American war Of independence some
prisoners suffering from smallpox were
shut up, by accident or design, in dark
rooms. TWAS noticed that these men had
ro secondary fever, and there was nc
matter in the pox and that no scars were
left by the disease.
This chance circumstance gave Fin
sen the hint which turned his ideas in
the right direction. It had been pointed
out by DR.. Widmark in 1889 that the
chemical rays of light, the blue-viole
and the ultraviolet rays, Unframed the
skin. Finsen conceived the notion anG

nently successful and the fame of his
cure for hideous disease, which hal
hitherto baft1ed medical skill, spread
rapidly. Patients went to him from ali
parts of the country and some years
later he was able to report that half oil
800 cases treated down to November
1901, were completely cured.

and instruments Of precision, labora-
tory equipments, natural collections,
chemical and pharmaceutical outfits, all
kinds of educational devices, and con-
crete illustrations of the school methods
of all nations, geographical, statistical
and other maps and charts, archaeology
~ical and Typographical photographs,
specimens and models-in all these
fields a wide selection was offered. The
very latest machines and apparatus of
all kinds, perhaps, hitherto unfamiliar
even to those most concerned, could be
gained possession Of by manufacturers
whowished to be strictly upto-date, and
to benefit by the new economics and ia
cilities that such inventions afford.
Museums and private collectors had
a very orgy of enthusiastic acquisition.

LITTLE HINTS.

The front panel is quite the newest
thing in skirts.
Most of the small hats are tricornes
OF boat-shaped turbans.
The crown is quite distinct from the
brim in the new turbans.
Tulle is one of the latest trimming
ideas and is used in great quantities.
Coo de roche is most effective as
relief note with gray-green and brown.
Not for years has the separate wrap
been such an important feature Of
dress.
Ribbon of two contrasting shades is
very smart for trimming tailor hats.
Lots of fire brown and spinach green
will be exploited in panne velvet and
net.

TRICKS OF THE MULE DEER
The Wary Animal Is Not at All an
Easy Mark for the
Hunter,

One Of the venerable tricks of the
mule deer of this country is retiring

the morning and remaining there dur

S. Van Dyke in Outing. During the
full Of the moon, when they are on foot
most of the night and we'll fed be-
fore daylight, they are so certain to
DO this that it is almost useless to
hunt. Especially is this so in the
early part of the summer. There is
little trouble in finding fresh tracks
enough at daylight, Struggling too, in
manner that shows the deer are on
the point Of lying down for the day
Yet the more certain you become that
they cannot be more than a few hun

gle track, you may possibly start a
deer just near enough to see or hear
but not near enough to see long
enough for shot. I have had them
almost throw the dust in my face
from their plunging hoofs, yet could
see no hair long enough to make sure
of getting the rifle sights upon it.
But even seeing one in this way is
the rare exception. for the deer in
stead Of waiting until they are GER,

they are they may be but few yards

One could have, by carefully going over
the whole field, brought together, at a
relatively small expense, representative
collections illustrating the art, in any
desired line, of all the peoples Of the
earth and Of all periods of history.
What wonderful variety Of "cozy
corners" will spring out of the opportu-
mites of this year! Some Of them have
been purchased outright, just as they
stood-there was beautiful Syrian one
in the Mosque of Omar-and others will
be created, according to the means, by
the fancy and taste of the individual.

DoGging a Night Call.

II had just fallen into sound Sleep"
said the doctor, who does not like to
make night calls, when a compare
tive stranger called me up on the tele-
phone and implored me to come to his
house to attend his wife. Asking a
few questions to learn the nature of
the illness, l informed him that in all
my practice l had seen but one such
case-which proved fatal. Immediate
ly, to my great relief, he mumbled
something about sending in the morn
ing if he required my services and rang
of, and l hurried back to bed."-Chi-

BACK 70 !. THE CHEMIST.
Paris Has at Last Abandoned ths
Corset Cover in Its s
W. Favor.

Paris has dropped the corset cover
as abruptly as the n0ndescript little gar
ment was taken up and not q single
trousseau Of the hundreds made for
wealthy or titled autumn brides includes
one. Women of fashion who were per-
mitted to feast their eyes on the truly
royal outfit of Mile. Anna Massena
d'Ess1ing de Rivoli, recently married to
the ambitious young marquis Of Al
bufera, looked in vain for the abbrevt-
ated waist long regarded as an indts-
pensable adjunct to stays. Instead, they
saw stocks of wondrous chemises, each
prettier than its predecessor, on which
nimble fingers plainly had lavishled
unusual beauty to insure their welcome.
AS the bridegroom is Bonaparte, q
great-grand-grands of the Lucien OF
that name, and as the bride derives
her ancestry from several Of the Oldest
families in the imperialist nobility, be-
ing a great-grandniece of Massena, 1t
may be supp posed the lingerie was de-
signed with an eye to the newest fash
ion. The Tuxedo set doubtless will cling
to the corset cover for awhile, but It
must yield in the end-the chemise has
come to it's own again.

AGAINST WATER POLLUTION
Information Regarding Laws on the
Subject Furnished by Geolog-
ical Survey.

A review of the laws forbidding the
pollution of inland waters in the
United States, which may be of great
practical benefit to the public, has been
prepared by Mr.. Edwin B. Goodell for
the United States geological survey.
It is published as No. 103 of the series
Of water supply and irrigation papers,
where it is available for all.
Mr.. Goodeil's purpose has not been
to prepare a complete work on water
pollution for the use of members of the
bench and bar, but rather to put into
the hands of public officials, legislators,
water companies, manufacturers, farm
ers and others interested in the sub
ject, guide for their action, and to fur
nish references to the sources from
which a more exhaustive knowledge
of the subject may be obtained if re-
quired.
No attempt has been made to pre-
law against water pollution as it exists
independently Of statutes, but the, broad
legal principles under which anti-pol1u-
ton statutes become operative are ex-
planned and important court decisions
are quoted to show authority for various
deductions. "-.ese principles and de-
cisiOns have been classified and are
presented In three groups:
% The rights of riparian owners to
pure water as against one another
(2) The rights of the public (as dis
tiEguished from individual owners) to
have inland waters kept free from pol
luton by riparian owners or others.
(3) The conditions under which, and
the extent to which, public municipali-
ties may use inland waters in the dis
posal of sewage matter from public
sewers
The statutes enacted in various states
are classified according to their gen
eral scope and an opportunity is thus
afforded to compare their effectiveness
and desirability. In some states there
is nothing more than a simple provi-
sion making it crime to poison wells
and springs, while in others elaborate
provisions have been made to check
and, so far as possible, absolutely pre-
vent all pollution of all waters by the
refuse products of animal life or the
waste of human industry. In citing
the statutes, Mr.. Goodell has grouped
the states together logically to show the
stage of growth in sanitary education
at which each has arrived.
1t is hoped that the publication and
distribution of this paper will help to
bring about general apprehension OF
correct principles upon the important
'utject of water pollution.

Value Of Farm prodnc+s

Crop statistics for 1904 show that
since 1901 the aggregate value of farm
products of the United States has been
steadily on the increase The present
year it reaches the enormous total OF
$4,000, 900, gain over 1903 of $751;
100000. over 1902 OF $213. oo0, 900 and over
1901 of 1852 100000. This would seem to
prove beyond any doubt two important
points-frst, that the United States is
the most productive nation in the world !:
and, second, that the migration cityward
has been stopped.-Des Moines Register.
