FACTS ABOUT CANCER.
Two Recent Discoverie. Made in Eng
land Open Entirely New Lines
of Investigations.

Great Importance is attached to two
recent discoveries concerning cancer.
The first of these is the discovery of
the existence of cancer in fishes, as
in man and other warm FLOODED ami
mails living in similar conditions as
man. 1t is hoped that the fact that
cancer exists in fishes which live I'M
der such different conditions than man.
may narrow the necessary field of OBJ
servations and thus conduce to more
speedy and complete knowledge of the
disease.
The other discovery was that of
Profs. Farmer and Moore and Walker.
This does not promise an immediate
cure or prevention, but is acknowl-
edged to be of the highest Importance.
At present its practical value is dag
nostic. 1t enables a distinction read
lily, even easily, to be drawn between
malignant and benignant growth at
the same time
The fundamental Importance of the
discovery must not be discounted.
Heretofore the most terrible thing
about cancer has been the ignorance
Of the causes of its birth and growth.
microbe parasite has been suggest
ed, but failed completely to justify the
theories founded on the assumption Of
it's presence.
Another theory which has been ac-
copied generally of late has been thal
cancer is the untimely growth of an
embryonic tissue-thatis,a tissue which
had existed in the h0dy stationary ond
undeveloped since some previous stage.
The bodys evolution from its embryo
had started it into activity, and it de-
veloped at furious rate in an entire
ly wrong way. Prof Farmer and his
colleagues have now established the
nature of the cancer cells, the method
OF their growth, the possible connec-
ton of this growth and the irritating
causes which provoked it, incidentally
showing that cancer cells are not a
development of the embryonic tissue.
1t is difficult to explain the discoy-
cry briefly in popular language, but
the central point is the establishment
OF the fact that the cancer cells are
cells which under some kind of irri-
tating stimulus behave not as ordinary
cells, but as if they We're cells of the
reproductive tissue. The process oh
served during the development makes
it easy to tell if a cell is malignant
cancer. Research therefore, has
new field of observation in finding
what agents of irritation are causing
an ordinary cell to act the same as
cells of reproductive tissue

ARTIFICIAL PUM1cE.
1t Is Made of Sandstone ind Clay and
Said to BE Superior to the
Genuine Article.

Artificial pumice is made in quantities
in Bietigheim, in the valley of the En-,
in Germany, which is said to be valu-
able substitute for the genuinestone. 1t
is made from ground sandstone and
clay, and there are ten kinds, differing
from each other in regard to hardness
and grain as follows: a. A hard and
a soft kind, with coarse grain, partlcu-
larly useful in the leather, wax-cloth,
felt and wood industries; (2) hard and
soft kind of medium coarse grain, suit
ed to stucco workers and sculptors and
particularly useful for polishing wood
before it was painted; (3) a soft, fine
grained stone for the white and dry pol
ish of wood and for tin goods; (4) one of
medium hardness with fine grain, for
giving the wood surface for an oil pol
ish; (5) hard, fine-grained one for
working metals and stones, especially
photographic stones; and finally pumice
stones with very fine grain. These
artificial stones are used in pretty much
the same way as those of volcanic
origin. For giving a smooth surface to

it a fine polish the stone is dipped in
oil. For fine work no coarse grained,
and for coarse work no fne-grained
stones are used. The unreliability of
pumice, both in grain and hardness,
variations being noted even in the same
piece, suggested the idea of replacing it
with the artificial product.-Scientific
