Crusade Against Narcotics.

Chicago Record-Herald: AT the last
session of the Illinois general assembly
a law was passed prohibiting the sale
sician's prescription, and the state
board of pharmacy is now engaged in
putting it into effect. At about the
same time Georgia, Pennsylvania and
Texas also passed anti-cocaine or anti
narcotic laws. and twelve or fifteen of
the states all told have now placed
such legislation on their statute books.
The campaign against these drugs has
been taken up with very great vigor
by the American Pharmaceutical as
ISOLATION and will be waged on a ma
tional scale. A stringent law has been
drafted, which has already been intro
duced into congress as part of the gen
eral poison bill by Representative Rob
inson of Indiana. Substantially the
same law Will be presented for the con-
sideratlon OF every state legislature
that meets this winter. The campaign
is to be continued until by both and
national legislation the entire country
is protected as fully as legislation can
protect it against cocaine, morphine
and all their ilk.
The movement deserves hearty sup
port and thoroughgoing success. Drug
gists and physicians generally are in
favor of it, for they know better than
any other persons, except the victims
themselves, the ravages which these
drugs can cause. Tsere are black
sheep druggists who are willing to
ruin the bodies and souls of all their
customers for a few pennies of profit.
They deserve no sympathy from any
one, n the more vigorously they are
prosecuted and the more severely they
are punished the better it viii be for
the COmmunitV,

The Dangerous t4andshake.

London Graphic: The French jour
nals have recently given publicity to
a scientific discovery which may have
a considerable influence upon one Of
the most ordinary usages of social in
tercourse. One M. Crouzel. a chemist
at Bordeaux, has discovered that the
human hand is largely occupied In SOW.
ing the seeds of all Sorts Of diseases.
The hand, he says, is not only the most
dirty, but the most dangerous portion
of our anatomy. 1t contains on the
average S3,450,000 bacilli. Hence, he,
argues, people should never shake
hands. We know already that it is
dangerous to kiss; but now, as a
French paper puts it, science is no less
hostile to friendship than to love. All
men, however, are not qua IN thls
matter. You must not shake hands
with a physician, surgeon, hairdresser
or butcher-especially a pork butcher.
Workers in metal are, however, much
less dangerous, because h minute
metallic particles form under the In
luence Of the hands warmth an an
tiseptic oxide. 1t is possible. NJ. Crou-
eel says, to protect yourself, II you
must shake hands, by using soar n a
nail brush for five minutes, plunging
your hand in a warm alkaline solution,
rinsing 1t with with sterilized water,
driving it on a sterilized rough towel
and finally washing It again in a solu-
tinn of alchol and ether. We commend
this precaution to public men In gen
eral and to the president OF the United
states in particular.

TREES AND THE RAINFALL.
Influence of Forests on Humidity is
Exceedingly important.

influence OF Forests on Fun1iG1y is
Exceedingly important.
Pittsburg Dispatch: Meteorological
experts are expressing some doubt
whether the presence of forests in
creases the rainfall or their rernoval
diminishes it. That their removal in
creases the rapidity with which water
runs off 20 the streams is universally
conceded. But the forestry bureau at
Washington, in a study OF the Rock
river watershed, partly in Illinois and
partly in Wisconsin, says: TT cannot
be safely asserted that forest destruc-
ton has caused the falling off in the
precipitation over the region" and r.
de B. Ward calls attention TO the fact
that a falling off in rainfall has been
observed in other parts OF the west
and advances the conclusion of Bruck-
ner that there is u ~thirty-five year
cycle in rainfall.
The most that can be said of these
cases is that the proof is not conclI-
siVe that the loss in precipitation was
due TO removal of forests, and not that
there is conclusive proof that it has
nothing to do with it. AS to the gen.
eral Tact, the opponents of the theory
are disposed to overlook the natural
process and the evidence of experience
much wider than those in the cases re-
fered to it is beyond dispute that the
chief function of forests in reference to
water supply is the retention of water
in the ground. But it is also we'll es-
tablished that forest trees are constant
ly e~Vaporating into the air from their
leaves an immense quantity of water
in the aggregate. That this evapora-
ton less in quantity than the retarda-
ton of the drainage is shown by the
longer life of forest streams and
springs. But the supply of evaporated
humidity to the air from a large forest
must be a material addition to the
stock whence rains come. Thus it fol-
lows that a well-forested country has
a higher average of rainfall than one
without forests.
If we are not mistaken the case of
Spain is well-nigh conclusive to this
point. In the Roman days Spain was
the garden spot of the world. 1t was
denuded of its forests and became
semi-arid. France went partly along
the same road, but by energetic for
estry measures, has preserved, IL not
restored it's rainfall. Tropical coun-
tries without forests have rains that
| are mex door to 4 deluge.

dories are fiat bottomed, sloping-sided
boats, which fit into one another in the
ships waist, economizing space there

Each dory takes two men, and the
whole crew, except the captain and the
COOK, go off in them every suitable Gay,

ring, caplin or squid, that the cod af-
fects. The travis are anchored at each
end, baited In the day, left lying over
night, and are stripped of their accu-

ba1ted again when "overhauled."
b fish are taken to the vessels in

them In heaps to drain. This done they

in the sunlight and air, The beaches
consist Of several acres of flat ground,
covered with basalt stones worn round

These stony fields surround ST.

SCIENCE IN FAR NORTH.
An Observation Station in the Polar
ReninnS.

~. ElGSlotiS. ....
Philadelphia Public Ledger: A sta
ton Which is to be maintained at the
service OF scientific ohGervers has been
erected $50 miles north of the arctic
circle in Sweden. 1t is near the track
Of the Ofoten railroad, the most north
ern railroad in the world, which was
open Just a year ago between Lula,
on the gulf of Bothnia, andN1Nictoria
Haven, on the Atlantic.
The O. is being operated the year
round for :he transportation of iron
ore to the Atlantic for shipment. The
station may thus easily be reached at
any season of the year.
It has been erected at the little set
Element of Wassijaure, only a mile and
a half from the Norwegian boundary.
Here scientific men will have their first
opportunity to investigate polar phe-
nonena under comfortable conditions
and at small expense.
In summer they will be engaged
| chiefly with geological and biological
researches, while meteorological, mag
netic and other studies fitting the times
viii occupy them in winter. The eX-
perts in natural history who Will occu-
Ply the station next summer, will be the
%geologist. Westergren; the entomolo-
gist, Haglund; the botanist. Roman,
and an expert in forestry.
The money to build the station was
contributed by a wealthy man OF
Stockholm, and funds for its mainte-
nance have been supplied by other pr.
yate subscriptions.
The station is on the threshold OF
Lapland, which is still almost I'M
known, because it las been SO difficult
to reach it with supplies adequate fol
a long journey. The railroad and sta
ton will facilitate the exploration OF
this region.
The study of its geology promises
particularly rich results, for there is
little doubt that the bleak surfaces o.

This IS the opinion OF all scientific
men who connect what is known of
its geology with the great discoveries
of the richest OF steel-making ores
along the line of the railroad.
The Arctic railroad is also to serve
another important purpose. Plans
have already been adopted for build

Strange Myths Of the Tibetans.

Booklovers' Magazine: The Tibetans
have numberleSs strange myths, one,
the most curious, pertaining to the sun,
moon and stars. The sun is believed
to be an Immense ball Of yak meat
and fat. wherein the spirits Of departed
ancestors are supposed to feast, the
light being caused by its heated condi-
ton. The stars are portions OF this
Immense feast which, dropping to the
earth, give birth to animals for the sus-
tenance of suffering humanity. The
moon is a lesser ball Of similar texture
as the sun, in use while the larger n
is being ~replenished for the morrow.
When sun or moor fails to appear In
cloudy days 1t means that the deities
are undergoing a period of fasting and
religious abnegation. And the parched
and sterile condition Of bleak regions
is ascribed to the fact that many thou
sand years ago the sun ball slipped
from the hands OF its keepers, des-
cended too lear the earth, and, before
being r~ecaptured. scorched those parts
with which it came in contact.
