iects contracted yellow fever. Ana
of those twenty the cases were very
mild. and every subject recovered
These experiments were made IN MO
Janeiro, Para and Companies, BRAZIL
in 1892. 1896 and 1897. DR.. Leach
has the afidavits of the physicians
who conducted these experiments. In
1896 a sail factory in Rio Janeiro
had nearly all its employees laid up
with yellow fever, In 1897 the en-
ployes were subjected to arseniza-
ton and not a single case OF fever
developed, though $50 hands we're
employed in the place.
DR.. Leach says that he theorized
this whole thing and submitted 1t
to the United States Senate in 1888.
Two years later he found tina ne
had been f~orestalled by Brazilian
doctors who had already proven the
theory. In advocating a~rsenization
DIR. Leach wants it distinctly under
stood that he is seeking no reward
and wants none. He wants to estab-
lish what he knows to be q scientific
fact and have it accepted by the
medical fraternity. Thirteen years
ago DR.. Leach spoke of arsenizatlOn
to q physician in Texas. That physi-
clan asked him why he did not patent
the prescription and put it on the
market. When DR., Leach told him
that he did not care to do anything
of that kind his Texas confrere called
him q fool.
Arsenization is not only . pre-
ventive for yellow fever, according to
DR.. Leach, but it is also q preventive
of Asiatic cholera. He thinks that
it might also serve to ward on bu-
bonic plague, but in the absence
of conclusive proof he will not claim
that.
He says that if the authorities
and physicians of New Orleans will
accept arsenization, yellow fever can
be stamped out in . few weeks. Ii
every person in the city takes this
treatment there can be no new cases
and the disease will therefore die
out of itself as Dol rs the present
cases die or recover.
While of course no two human be-
ings are alike, and therefore every
body has to be treated to himself,
even as he is . law unto himself,
still, DIR. Leach says, he has found
that the al senious acid tablets pre-
pared in the proper way do no harm
to anyone, regardless OF the physi-
cal condition of that person, espe-
cially as there is q gradual reduction
i'm the dose, and after the first two
weeks only n tablet a day is taken.
Two tablets q day for two weeks
makes the body arsenized, and one
tablet a day thereafter keeps it so.
One of the leading arsenization
propagandists in the world, DR.. An
tonic de Campos Sales, was presi-
dent of Brazil in 1900, and he did
much in proving the arsenization
theory. DR.. Leach was the first to
give the method q name. He coined
the verb ''arsenitize" and the noun
ssarsenixation. The Brazilians adopt
ed the word after DR.. Leach, making
it in Portuguese "arsenicao." DR..
Leach studied Portuguese in order to
familiarize himself with the Bra
lillian experiments, to the study OF
! which he has devoted several years.

ARCHBISHOP CHAPELlE PASSES away
Death Comes After Illness Of Six Days. Funeral Ser
vices Held at St. Louis Cathedral Saturday.

Times-D Democrat, Aug. 10.
His Grace, Placide Louis
Chapelle, archbishop of New
Orleans, and apostolic delegate
to Cuba and Porto Rico, died in
his palace, 1905 Esplanade
avenue, in this city, yesterday
afternoon.
Archbishop Chapelle was
stricken last Friday afternoon
with what was generally thought
to be a mild case of yellow fever.
He died in what is known as the
secondary attack, when the fever
returned upon an already ex-
hausted body.
It was hoped and expected up
to Tuesday night that the arch
bishop would recover. His con.
dition became alarming early
yesterday, and as the morning
hours wore away the physicians
realized THAT he would die. The
officials of the diocese, Auxiliary
Bishop Rouxel, Vicar General
Laval, Chancellor Scott, Secre-
tary Gardes, and the arch.
bishops confessor, Father
Biever, S. j., were sent for.
Unfortunately, none Of them
arrived in time. The last rites
Of the church were administered
by the assistant priest Of the
parish in which the archbishop
lived, Father Evoreil. Father
Subilieu, who was called for.
was i'll himself, and unable to
attend the dying prelate.
The two attending physicians
Drs. Larue and Formento,
Father Livoreil and the arch
bishops niece, Miss Josephine
S0liguac, were with the arch
bishop when the end came, at
1880 p. m.
The archbishop was concious
to the last. and realized his ap-
preaching end. He told Father
Biever during the morning that
it was the excessive fatigue of
his confirmation trip that had
made the attack of fever SO
severe. When he died he held
to his lips q beautiful crucifix,
which had been presented to
him by the late Pope Leo XIII.
on the occasion of the last visit
of the archbishop to Rome.
The archblshop's death at this
time is regarded as q distinct
calamity to the Catholic church.
It is unfortunate that he should
have died Of yellow fever, ind
especially unfortunate that he
should have died at this time,
when AFFAIRS in the diocese
particularly needed his sound
judgment and his extraordinary
executive ability.
BODY LIES IN CATHEDRAL.
After being embalmed and
encased in q magnificent metal
casket the body of the dead
prelate was moved last night at
1890 o'clock from the archiepis-
copal residence to the Cathedral.
The ceremonies were simple,
but impressive. being conducted
hy Mgr. Laval, vicar general Of
the archdiocese, assisted by
Rev. Father Scott, chancellor.
The body was blessed and the
usual prayers said before leav-
ing the house. The cortege con-

A JOKE ON GOVERNOR STOKES.

Governor Stokes was temporarily en-
barrassed last night, when, after invtt-
ing his physician, DR.. Horace c. Norton,
to dine with him at a Trenton restaur-
ant, he discovered, on presentation Of
his bill that he was out of cash. DR..
Norton hastened to relieve the situation,
but after fumbling in his pockets for a
few moments discovered that he, too,
had no ready money. In dressing hastily
for dinner both men forgot to make
the financial changes necessary for those
who dine in public places. To add to
the dilemma there was a new man at
the desk, who refused to charge the ac-
count.
II am the governor OF New Jersey
and will settle this little matter when

At this juncture a waiter in the estab-

Elephants Easy to CAPTURE.

Everyone is familiar with the methods
of capturing the elephant. for there is
something picturesque in both the ked-
dah and the decoy methods. but the
animal is Dad tempered and even the
skilled hunter must use the utmost eau
ton after the capture is effected 1t is
said that no gorilla has ever been cap
tured alive after he was full grown,
Certainly no sane man would attempt
such a feat. They fear nothing. which
makes them terrible foes, and even
when mortaIly wounded they show agil-
ity, strength, and ferocity which are
astonishing
On the other hand, all other apes are
pathetically easy TO capture The most
popular method is for trapper to seat
himself where he is sure to be observed
by these creatures and pretend to drink
from a bottle of crude spirits. When he
is sure that he has heen observed he
leaves the bottle and goes away.
The moment his back is turned the
monkeys swarm to appease their curioS-
ity concerning the contents of that bot
tie. They like the taste of the spirits
and quarrel among themselves for it till

IT. HE capturing of wild beasts for
exhibition purposes furnishes an
/ employment at once lucrative and
exciting. A giraffe is worth from
S5,000 TO St9,00 and a ful-grown gorilla
would be worth asfabulous sum- Hippo
potamuses are always quoted at high
prices, but the difficulty IN capturing
these animals accounts for the high
prices obtainab1e-
The giraffe is one OF the most diff
cult animals TO bring into captivity, and
when one falls into the trappers' hands
there is great rejoicing. for there is al
ways a ready market FOR these animals
in the geological gardens of the world.
II is a highly nervous creature, and.
besides being fleet of foot. ii has a keen
sense of hearing, so that it generally
succeeds in eluding its pursuers.
The method used in the giraffe's cap
ture is to employ a contrivance of three
ropes weighted at the ends. The hunter
rides as near as possible to his prey.
creeps closer. and then throws the ropes
in such way that they wind about the
legs of the giraffe. He then rides up
and secures him. He often spends days
and even weeks in chasing one of these
flying animals, and is sometimes forced
to abandon the hunt
