sealed glass tubes, preferably in IL
quid air. This toxin or poison, inject
ed into other guinea pigs, produced
symptoms of exhaustion followed by
death within twenty-four hours. The
same poison could not be obtained
from the muscles of non-exhausted
animals.
Antitoxin corresponding to the tox-
in thus procured is produced very
much like that of diphtheria by in
jecting the toxin into the circulation
of horses. When dried in a vacuum,
the resulting scales-unlike those Of
the toxin-are permanent. In fact,
the substance retains its activity even
after months. 1t is readily taken up
by the stomach, but is generally in
jected under the skin by means of a
hypodermic syringe.
Small animals, into which the toxin
was injected, remained in a perfectly
normal condition when treated with
the antitoxin, but succumbed to the
poison when the antitoxin was not ad-
ministered. The introduction of the
antitoxin did not produce any dis
turbance whatsoever; on the contrary,
it was followed by increased vigor
and energy.

According to Berlin reports, scien-
tist of that city has discovered what
has been facetiously termed an anti
toxin for laziness. The doctor thinks
his discovery will be of importance in
tho treatment of neurasthenia or
nervous exhaustion and the GONZALES
cence from acute diseases. His ex-
periments are described as follows: A
guinea pig was drawn backward on a
rough carpet, by means of a string, un-
til 1t no longer resisted interference
with it's motion and was totally ex-
hausted. Stimulation was continued,
by means Of electricity, until the ami
NAL was in state of administration,
that is to say, condition Of infection
from the toxin or poison generated by
itself. During the experiment, the
temperature of the guinea pig fell
very greatly. When exhaustion could
pc carried no further, the animal was
killed. Immediately after DEATH the
toxin Cor poison) was obtained from
the crushed muscles of the animal.
When dried in a space exhausted of
air, the toxin was found to consist of
yellowish-brown scales, that were not
very stable and had to be kept in

There is obligatory accident insur-
ance in Italy. There is also voluntary
insurance against sickness and dis
ability pension one must be sixty
years of age and have been insured
for twenty-five years.
In Finland there is insurance
against sickness, the cost being borne
equally by employer and employe.
There is also insurance against acci-
dents in industrial establishments.
The accident fund Is supported by en-
ployers and the state, the workmen
contributing nothing.
A pension of $S7 Is allowed by the
government of New Zealand to the in
digent aged who have lived in the
country uninterruptedly for twenty
five years without any legal condem-
nation. Every old person who has
come to the pension age gets the en-
tire pension if he has a personal rev.
enue of $164 or less. For each s1.50
above $164 the law diminishes his pen
sion accordingly.
There is perhaps no country in the
world where workmen are so protect
ed by the state or are so cared for as
in Germany, says Consul Haynes.
Even clerks, shop assistants and serv-
ants are compelled to insure. This
insurance is effected by pasting into a
book stamps every week, and it is the
duty of employers to see that this is
faithfully done.
In the German Empire there are
three insurances for workmen, all of
which are obligatory and under the
authority of the Imperial Insurance
Office. They are accident, sickness
and old age, or infirmity. The insur-
ance is mutual and its administration
is autonomous under state control. 1t
embraces, without distinction of ma
tionality, all persons working in Ger

Discover Secret Of Japs

In the nursery of "Fruitlands,'' on
the outskirts of Augusta, Ca, stands
peculiar orange tree which has had q
more romantic history and is repre-
sented by more varied descendants
than any other tree in the country. 1t
is a thorny bush, green even in win
ter, although its leaves are gone and
looks more like a hedgeplant than an
orange tree in spite of the tiny yellow
Oalls which ornament its branches.
When Japan was thrown open to
western commerce its quaint plants
and shrubs were among the first
things to attract attention to it. Tiny
orange trees so small that they grew
in tubs and could be set on stapd in
an ordinary room, yet so perfect That
they produced blossoms and fruit in
season and so gnarled that they were
evidently very old, were brought to
America to ornament the conservator-
les of plant lovers. American garden
ers sought in vain the stock which
was the basis for these dwarfs. 1t
was evidently grated tree, and from
it's seeds a variety of things, none of
them like the root stalk, were OBJ
taiRed.
Some of the earliest of the importa-
tiouE came to Fruitlands. Many died.
One of those which died was thrown
gu. on a heap of rubbish, became
bulicd and was forgotten. After
The Colorado statesman., 1905-05-20

awhile, however, an odd plant was dis
covered to be coming up in the rub
bish heap and on investigation it was
found that the dwarf tree had sprout-
ed from the roots. This new stalk
came from below the graft and was
own child of the root-a bit of the
genuine, long-sought stock.
That carefully nursed and guarded
sapling is the odd-shaped bush in the
Fruitlands garden. AS soon as it be-
gan to bear fruit its seeds were plant
ed and guarded as carefully as the
original stalk. Year after year all
the seeds were planted and even the
seeds of the new plants till at last
the nursery was well stocked with
the thorny citrus trifoliata.
Citrus trifoliata is extremely hardy
and productive. So upon the Seeding
OF this tree has been grated almost
an infinite variety of other fruits 20
obtain commercial trees.
Orchards all over the country, and
in fact in all parts of the world, where
oranges are grown, are stocked with
descendants of citrus trifoliata, al
though, of course, not all are from
this stock so oddly obtained, for about
the time this fortunate accidental dis
covery was made in Georgia other
gardeners succeeded in wrestling the
secret from the Japanese and bring
ing over seedlings.

In many countries the question OF
insurance for workingmen is consid-
cred important, and in at least a doz-
en- countries practical solution of the
question has been found and applied.
The systems, though similar, are
varied.
United States Consul Haynes, at
Rouen, France, has gathered and sent
to the Department of Labor and Com
merce the main facts concerning work
mems insurance in a dozen countries.
In Belgium the insurance against
accident and disability is obligatory
for miners. Moreover, since Jan. 1,
1900, the government has a national
fund for retiring pensions, which is
voluntary, and insures to each of its
members when sixty-five years of age
a pension of s69.50 annually.
The insurance of miners has also
been compulsory in Austria since
1889. The minimum insurance is, for
men, SAL, for women s20.50. Insur-
ance against sickness and accident is
also obligatory for those engaged in
industrial and agricultural pursuits.
But Ia no case can accident Insurance
exceed 60 per cent of the annual
wages.
In Denmark the needy who have
reached sixty years of age receive
help in varying proportions, the state
and commune contributing equally.
For the past fifteen years a work
mans insurance committee has exist
ed in Sweden, and since 1886 the Riks-
dag has put aside yearly the sum of
$42S,S00 to cover the first expense
when the law for insurance of work
men is voted.
In Norway accident insurance for
the industrially employed workman
whose salary does not exceed 5000
year is compulsory.
Insurance is obligatory for indus
trial employees of either six in Hun
gary, and for those engaged in COM
merce, if their wages do not exceed
$2.15 a day. All members are as

reputation as a church worker that

SUMNER NORMAL SCHOOL.

1t is not as widely known as it
should be that the State Normal
offers summer school, or, to be
exact, summer term of it's regu-
lar school. This is a system which
Chicago university was the first to
adopt, that of having continuous
series of terms, the summer term
offering the same opportunities as
any other. The plan opens way
to study which would be closed to
many under other conditions.
The Normal school summer term
makes it possible for the complete
course to be taken by teachers who
cannot give up their work long
enough to take it during the usual
terms. 1t also provides way in
which an unfinished course may be
completed without loss of school
positions.
1t will be remembered that the
diploma from the State Normal
school is in itself license to teach
in the state for life. 1t also grants
the Bachelor of Pedagogy degree.
No doubt there are hundreds of
teachers in the state who could re-
ceive this diploma after but one or
two summer terms at Greeley. 1t
would certainly be worth trying for
aside from the inspiration and up
to-date atmosphere which would
be imbibed.
Those who have already gradua-
ted from this or simular institu-
tions may take Master of Peda-
gogy degree by work during vaca-
ton, while those with all the de-
grees they desire may find the
work profitable in some new de-
partment or as a means of becom-
ing conversant with the latest
methods.
The following departments will
be available: Work in training
school; pedagogy, general and
specials; science and art of educa-
ton; sociology and education; ma
thematics, elementary and highe r;
physics, chemistry, geography;
Latin; German and French; Eng
