CAN DETECT HUMAN BLOOD
New Method of Distinguishing It
SO from That Of Animals Is
Discovered.

Consul General Guenther of Frank
fort reports that the Prussian military
surgeon, DR.. Uhlenhuth, who has been
transferred to the hygienic institute of
the University of Greifswald, is the dis
coverer <of, new method for distin-
gushing human from animal blood. In
1897 DR.. Uhlenhuth was assistant at the
institute for infectious diseases at Ber-
lin, and is member of the commission
for investigating the foot and mouth
disease.
In the fall Of 1900 DR.. Uhlenhuth pub
ished important Investigations with
reference to distinguishing between'the
albumen of eggs of various birds upon
the basis of modern science, which is
mainly the result of the researches of
Bordet Of France and Ehrlich of Frank
fort. Uhlenhuth found that these al
bumens can be differentiated biological
~. His researches resulted in the i'm
portant discovery of new forensic
method, was soon confirmed on all
NAL blood so that 1t is now possible to
tell with absolute certainty the origin of
even the smallest traces Of blood either
in dry or also in putrefied form. This
method, was soon confrfmedfi on all
sides, and has become Of fundamental
Importance for forensic medicine.
BY his method he can tell the pres
ence of horse meat in sausages and other
smoked meat articles, which is a great
step In advance for the examination of
f00dstuffs.

BAD ROADS, HIGH PRICES.
The Two Nearly Always Go Together
Why the Farmer Loses in
Marketing His Crops.

Men who have closely studied the:
markets have observed that during;
certain seasons of the year when the;
reads have been particularly bad over
q large area the prices of certain COM;
modities have been affected, and have;
risen in value in response to 4 de-:
creased supply. In such case the
GARNER able to put his produce upon.
the market, when his neighbors could
not do likewise, has reaped the bene-
fits. 1t naturally follows then that
the better the conditions of the high
ways in a certain locality the better
able are the farmers in connection
with such roads to realize ON their
products. :" : s
Better roads will mean, in addition
t. The other conveniences, balanc-
ing element for the market, says the
Prairie Farmer. If all of the people
are to benefit from the sale of thei=,
products, lEey must be able to have
access to the market equally at all
times. Otherwise the man most
favorably located % 2 good road will
reap the harvest. The telephone and,
the daily paper aid the farmer in
keeping trace of the market, but this
Information will avail him little un-
less he is able to deliver his produce.

north. When young Fiala applied for
place he was accepted. Mr.. Ziegler
found that the young man had already
an yenviable war record in '98, when he
went to Porto Rico with troop C, and
was also an accomplished artist, pho
tographer and stenographer. So the
young man got one of the coveted
places.
Two years later he came back.
The expedition had been a failure.
There had been dissension among the
officers Of the America, which finally
stirred up spirit of mutiny even in
the men. Little was accomplished; the
chickering's which had been bred in the
Arctic were kept up when the expedi-
ton arrived back in New York. Mr..
Ziegler was Disguised. He spoke his
contempt for the men who had wasted
his money in no uncertain words. But
Anthony Fiala was not one of them. He
had done good work, and when it came
time for the baking powder millionaire
to cast about for a man to lead a Sec
ond expedition in 1903, he selected
young Fiala, then but 90 years old
Northward, always northward," was
Mr.. Ziegler's injunction, as he intrusted
the young man to the command of the
America, the best ship that ever ground
her way through Arctic ice.

Nashri:e, Tenn.-Some time during

TEST romances this land of romances

1t will be a union of the north and

north pole, and of this sunny southland.
Anthony Fiala, the hero of the Ziegler.

hero Of this romance. and Miss Claire
Puryear, young lady prominent in
Nashville society. is the heroine, and
the story Of their courtship is an inter-

1t has been a long engagement. even
as long engagements so, and even
longer wooing. says special writer to

ago that Anthony Fiala then a young

was member Of gallant troop e. Of
Brooklyn. then. He had gone as part
OF the escort of the governor of New
York to the exposition at Nashville. On
New York day, just by chance, he was
introduced to Miss Puryear, a guest al
the governors reception.
OF course the trooper did just what
he ought to have done-he fell in love
with her. They corresponded after he
left Nashville for good, but that was
all. Chance took young Fiala back
again to Tennessee and he made bold
tc say what his heart had hidden him.
No. said the young girl, thinking,
of course, it was final.
But men who are fit to brave the ter
rors of the arctic don't give up at one
rebuff, and hundred times more not

it up.

stable, no matter for what animals it
is used. A man does not generally;
light a lantern to find the dirt in his
stable, and that means that the stable

use of water in the stable that is
dark results in dampness and mold. I
