The Old Time Way.

Our grandmothers gave us powders
and teas because they knew nothing of
modern medicine and methods. In this
age of progress and discovery, nicely
coated, compressed tablets are fast
superceding the old time powders and
teas. Rydale's Liver Tablets are COM
pressed, chocolate coated tablets, easy to
swaliow, pleasant in effect, always re-
liable. They contain ingredients that
cannot be used in powders and teas; in
gradients that have an effect upon the
liver that is never obtained from the So
called liver powders, etc. A trial will
prove their merits. Walhalla Drug Com

Negro's Color Solved.

A London dispatch in the Wash
ington Star says: Surgeon Major
Charles Woodruff, of the United
States army, has solved the interest
ing puzzle, "Why is the negro
black ?"
The answer, roughly summarized,
is that his blackness is his defense
against the dangers of the sun. The
entire question is treated by Major
Woodruff in an exhaustive treatise
published by Messrs. Robman, Qim-
ited,) under the title of "The Effects
of Tropical Light ON White Men,"
Sun rays are divided into two
classes-long and short. The latter
are dangerous to all persons who are
not defended from them the former
make for heat. To avoid these dan
gers the pure negro has evolved a
black skin and nocturnal habits.
The defensive is an armour of pig
ment just under the outer skin. 1t
varies in intensity of color from the
coal black negro of the tropics to the
white man of northern latitudes.
The pigment is always there-just
sufficient in strength to resist the
danger of different climes. This ac-
counts for the varying colors of diff
ferent races = black, red, yellow,
copper, and white. 1t is only absent
in Albinos-a sign of degeneration,
explains Major Woodruff.
An extreme illustration of the
danger of rays is provided by radium.
1t is stated that single pound of
radium in a room would kill every
one present by the blasting forces of
its rays. The negro's nocturnal
habits are rendered necessary by the
conversion of dangerous sun rays
into harmless but uncomfortable heat
rays. This is how Major Woodruff
states the facts of the case in this
respect:
"The negro is really a nocturnal
animal, like the other black animals
of the tropics. Left to himself he
behaves like the cat-inclined to
sleep all day, hiding away some
where, and becomes lively, energetic
and active at night. In the Southern
States the plantation negroes can be
heard all night long, prowlinr about,
shouting, singing, courting and
chicken stealing.
"Their dances, camp meetings and
household habits are based on this
nocturnal instinct to hide from the
light even if they are better protec-
ted than We"
The negro's natural armor is only
efficacious against natural heat.
When exposed to artificial heat in a
dark atmosphere the black skin
ceases to throw off heat and the ne
gro suffers. In stroke hole, for in
stance, he is usually the first man to
collapse, even when white men are
unaffected.

Arguments in the case of the State

Arguments in the case of the State

Court of the United States few days

his disposition is of the best and he
will be valuable addition to the ZOO
AS an inducement to the city to pur-
chase the animal, Mr.. Morrison offers
to present the city with tiger and
tigress on his return to South Africa
providing the city will pay the freight
and steamship charges on them from
that country to Los Angeles. These
additions to the local zoo would put
it on par at least with any other
western city zoo. And when it Is con-
sidered that from 5000 to 10000 persons
visit the park every clear Sunday in
the year, the added attractions will be
more valuable.
1t is to be regretted that only few
days remain in which to complete the
subscription, as Mr.. Morrison has
planned to ship the lion to the Port
land exposition after July / unless he
sells 1t to the city, and Mr.. Rice Is
desirous that the citizens who are in
terested in building up the zoo take
hold at once and notify him of their
subscriptions.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-23

An effort is being made by e. B.
Rice, animal keeper at the Eastlake
park zoo, to raise $1,000 by popular
subscription to purchase a lion for the
zoo, two subscription lists now being
in circulation and nearly one-half the
amount is already subscribed.
Mr.. Rice has a fifteen day option on
lion named Lobengula, seven years
old, belonging to A. j. Morrison, the
African lion hunter and trainer who
lives in Los Angeles, but makes period
ical trips to the Jungles of Africa to
hunt and capture wild animals.
Lobengula is said to be the finest
specimen Of the South African lion in
the United States. He weighs 675
pounds and is tame, having been cap
tured when but five months old, and
has been in captivity since. He has a
beautiful flowing black name and tips
and Is a handsome animal.
The price is considered reasonable,
as a lion one year old Is rated at $75O

BITTERLY CONTEST CASE
OF CHINAMAN AND NEGRO
LATTER is CONVICTED OF GRAND
LARCENY
Ready Wit Of Attorney for Defense In
Cross-Examination of Celestial
Causes Much Confusion of Witness
and Is Effective Against Plaintiff

The ready wit of Attorney Wallace
w. Wideman yesterday put to fight
the carefully constructed prosecution in
the second days trial of Frank Hooper,
charged with having robbed China
man of $105 on the night of April II
near Alameda street and Ferguson
alley.
Wong Sin Yen was the celestial in
question and again took the stand yes
terday in explaining the alleged assault.
upon him by the negro. AS Wong took
the stand he told the court through
preached him and asked him in Eng
lish for a match. He was positive in
telling the court that the negro had
said, Gimme a match" Wideman,
who was defending Hooper, waited un-
til the prosecution had finished with
the examination, and then started to
walk up and down the floor. AS he
walked he drew nearer the witness
stand and suddenly turned and faced
Wong. Gimme MATCH" said Wide
man.
The Chinaman gazed at the attorney
without the slightest trace Of intelli-
gence, and as he turned to the interpre-
ter Wideman motioned for the witness
to be left alone. Gimme match" he
repeated.
Wong shook his head and finally said
mo savvy,"
"I thought you wouldn't" said Wide
man, "but you were careful to remem-
ber that Hooper asked you for a
match" And the jurymen smiled.
A controversy arose between the at
torneys yesterday in this case which has
the wealth of the neighborhood on the
one side and the support of the Chi
nese section on the other. During the
day Wideman brought two witnesses
to the stand who swore that Hooper
had been at his work on East First
street during the time that the alleged
robbery was said to have occurred.
Later in a discussion the attorney
questioned Wong as to whether he
smoked opium. Sometime smokee
opium" responded Wong, "but no
hurtee Chinaman."
Are you sure you were not pipe
dreaming when this robbery occurred p
insisted Wideman, and Wong, rubbing
the spot on his head where the blow
was said to have been struck during
the alleged robbery. assured the court
that somebody had hit him and of that
fact he was positive.
The case went to the jury late in the
afternoon after argument by the at
torneys, and late last night verdict
of grand larceny was returned. AL
though this meant much lighter SEN
tence than conviction on the robbery
charge notice of appeal was immedi-
ately filed and the contest will be car
ried to the higher courts.

BULLET IN HIS APPENDIX.
Young Robert A. Pope Shot Himself
Thirteen Years AGO

The yermiform appendix has served
as lodging place for multitude of
strange and varied foreign bodies &C
eording to the annals of surgery, but
the physicians Of st. Luke's hospital,
New York city, have recently recorded
n case which appears to be unique. The
object removed from the appendix, in
the course of a regular operation for
recurrent appendicitis, was a 22-caliber
bullet, which had been imbedded in the
patients body for thirteen years.
The subject was Robert A. Pope of
Newburynort, Mass, a nephew of Col.
Albert a. Pope Young Pope is a Har-
ward undergraduate and an athlete. He
visited st. Luke's some time ago and
complained that when training for foot
ball he invariably suffered from abdom-
inal pains. He expressed the belief that
he was suffering from some form of APP
pendicitis. His diagnosis was confirmed
by DIR. Hussey of the house staff, and
later by DR.. Francis Markoe, the visit
ing surgeon.
The operation was performed, and to
the establishment of the surgeons small
bullet was found in the appendix. When
informed of the result of the operation,
young Pope said:
Il had forgotten all about that bullet
| shot myself accidentally thirteen years
ago. | have not been Inconvenience by
it until le tely."
