CAN DETECT HUMAN BLOOD
New Method of Distinguishing It
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 a 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 a member of the commission
for investigating the foot-and- mouth
disease.
In the fall of 1900 DR.. Uhlenhuth pub
lished 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
ly. His researches resulted in the i'm
portant discovery of a new forensic
method, was soon confirmed on all
NAL blood SO that it is now possible 10
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 confirfimedfi on all
sides. and has become of fundamental
Importance for forensic medicine.
By his method he a 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
foodstuffs.

NATIVE SERVANTS IN INDIA
Obey Orders to the Letter, But Seem
to Be Wholly Lacking in
Judgment.

Native servants in India have the
generally desirable though sometimes
inconvenient virtue of the Chinese
doing exactly as they are told. The
trouble is that they seldom use judg-
ment.
Lord Roberts, during a campaign in
India, had ordered his man to prepare
his bath at a certain hour. One day
a fierce engagement was going on, but
the servant made his way through a
storm of bullets and appeared at the
commanders side.
"Sahib," said he, "your bath IS
ready"
Even a better story comes from an
unknown soldier, who was awakened
one morning by feeling the servan.
of a brother officer pulling at his
foot.
"Sahib," whispered the man-"sa-
nib. what am | to do? My master
told me to wake him at half-past six,
but he did not go to bed till seven"

Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 6.-The
treaty of peace between Russia and ia
pan was signed by the representatives
Of the two empires at 3:47 p. m. Tues
day. On the instant of the consumma-
ton Of the great historical act, a salute
was fred at the United States navy
yard on Kittery point.
The copies of the treaty brought to
the navy yard had been carefully pre-
pared by the secretaries of the two mis-
sions, in order to avoid the necessity
of reading them before signing them, al
which personages extraneous to the ne
gotiations assisted. When the secre-
taries had arranged with perfect exact
ness the two copies of the treaty, the
plenipotentiaries and other members
of the two missions entered the con-
ference hall accompanied by Assistant
Secretary Peirce, Gov. McLane, Admiral
Mead and the mayor of Portsmouth.
Mr.. White was the first to sign his
lame to the treaty. After the cere-
monies of the signing of the treaty,
Baron de Rosen delivered a short
speech, pointing out the importance of
the event and the influence it will have
in the relations between the two coun-
tries. He ended by expressing the sat
lsfaction he felt at the good relations
which have characterized the work of
the plenipotentiaries. Baron Komura
replied, paraphrasing Baron de Rosen's
speech, and expressing his thanks for
he kind words addressed to himself
and to the members of his mission.
The entire Russian mission, headed
by Mr.. White, attended a thanksgiving
service celebrated in Christ Episcopal
church both by the American and Rus
sian clergymen.
Re-entering the hotel, one of the chief
members of the Japanese mission said:
"The treaty signed to-day may be the
most important historical feature of the
twentieth century,"

Military Revolt Against the Present
Dynasty Probable.
New York, Sept. 6.-The World
prints the statement of a staff CORE
spondent, who sailed from Japan just
before the peace ENJOYS met in Ports
mouth, in the course of which he says:
"The Mutsuhito dynasty is in peril.
In the army a peace without a huge
money indemnity was unthinkable. |
am speaking very moderately when |
say that a popular revolution, backed
by the army, is the most likely thing
in the situation. The japanese army
is supreme in the empire. The en-
peror has become a mere go-betM cen,
with an arrogant military a~1istrocracy
on n side and a fearful and demoYal-
lied civilian class on the other. Egen
the prime minister admitted to me that
the army is absolutely supreme. Not
only is the army a power in itself, but
the people are frantically devoted tc 1t.
"Just before I left Japan it was com
mon talk there that if the emperor and
his advisers should yield to foreign
pressure and humiliate Japan by a
diplomatic surrender to Russia, there
would be a popular uprising, supported
by a revolt in the army, and that the
emperor would be deposed.
"If the army revolts / believe that
Gen. Kodama, Oyama's chief of staff,
will be the leader. Oyama, Kuroki and
Nodzu would at first probably support
the emperor, but the bulk Of the Of
ficers and the men in the field would
stand by Kadama.
Japan has 100000 actual fighting
men in the field at this moment. They
believe they can easily defeat the Rus
sian forces in front of them and seize
eastern Siberia. 1t would not surprise
me if they should ignore the treaty Of
peace, defy the emperor and go right
on with the war. No doubt the navy
would be loyal to the emperor. 1t is a
development of the new Japan and has
no connection, sentimental or other
wise, with the old Japan, whose ideas
inspire the army"

Nashville, Tenn.-Some time during
the coming winter there will be SOL
emnized in this city a marriage that
will mark the climax to one of the pref
test romances this land of romances
has known in many a year.
1t will be a union of the north and
south - of that north represented
by the frozen ice fields surrounding the
north pole, and Of this sunny southland,
Anthony Fiala. the hero of the Ziegler
expedition in search of the pole, is the
hero Of this romance. and Miss Claire
Puryear, a young lady prominent in
Nashville society, is the heroine, and
the story of their courtship is an inter-
esting one.
1t has been a long engagement, even
as long engagements go, and ever a
longer wooing, says a special writer to
the New York World. twas eight years
ago that Anthony Fiala. then a young
ster of 81, first met Miss Puryear. He
was a member of gallant troop c, 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 at
the governors reception.
Of course the trooper did just what
he ought to have done-he fell in love
with her. They c~orresponded after ha
left Nashville for good. but that was
all. Chance took young Fiala back
again to Tennessee and he made bold
to 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 a hundred times more not

the girl TO marry him, sometimes going
to Tennessee just to make one more
proposal; at other times sending his
message by letter.

nrst expedition under Evelyn B. Bald
win in his quest to attain the farthest
north. When young Fiala applied Tor
a place he was accepted. Mr.. Ziegler
found that the young man had already
an enviable war record in '98, when he
went to Porto Rico with troop G, 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 a spirit of mutiny even in
the men. Little was accomplished: the
chickering's which had been bred in the
Arctic we're kept up when the expedi-
ton arrived back in New York. Mr.
Ziegler was disgusted. 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 1t came
time for the baking powder millionaire
AL
TO cast about for a man to lead d sec
ond expedition in 1908, he selected
yolng Fiala, then but 33 years old.
"~Northward, always northwarG,' 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.
Ffala promised.
He sailed from New York in May with
the members Of his party. The other Of
ficers with him were: r. r. Tafel, Of
philadelphia; Charles L. Seitz, Of
Evansville, Ind; William J. Peters, Of

mand; Francis Long, Of the weather
bureau, the meteorologist of the expe-
dition; m. @. Nv. Shorkley, Of Camden.

When he sailed there was a little
party Of women TO see him off-his
mother, one or two relatives and the
girl from Nashville. She had relented
at last.

pered, as he started up the gangplank
of the steamer that was to take him to
Norway, Il will marry you"

Fiala, I'm be back"
But nobody knew that either had
promised the other. 1t vas only when
the brief dispatch came on August IL
that Miss Puryear told her secret-she
was to marry the intrepid young arctic
explorer when he could come back to
her. Wooed six years and his promised
sweetheart for two years more, she had
kept her secret well. For two years
lacking less than a month she had not
heard a word from him. Her last let
ter was dated in September, 1903, when
the gallant little band passed out of
reach of the mails for almost II months.
The expedition cost $250,000. The
party were taking everything possible
for the prosecution of the search for the
pole. Everything that science OF COM
fort could suggest found a place aboard
the sturdy ship. There were 210 Siberi-
an dogs, 30 Siberian ponies, ten tons Of
horse food, Al tons of dog food. 100
pounds of tobacco, 1900 pounds OF gun
cotton, 5000 rounds of ammunition for
