A REMARKABLE TUNNEL.

Almost CONFIDENT with the announce
mel under the Alps between Switzerland
and italy comes the announcement That
the opening was followed by a fatal acct
dent. the suifocation OF two engineers.
The assertion that the accident vas due
to the escape of subtcrranean gases re-
calls remarkable experiences during ;hc
progress Of this wonderful work. One of
these was the striking Of springs de-
livering great volumes of water at about
1sl degrees of temperature. which scr
iously intcrfered with the work OF cxta-
walton until some means was discovered
of cooling the atmosphere artihcially in
the bore so as to permit the work to con-
tinue.
1t is stated. however, that the altcrra-
ton of extremely hard rock and shifting
quiclxsand which would not stay ir place
made the great work so difficult al times
| that more than once its abandonment was
seriously considered. If. now that tie
vast undertaking is completed ready fol
use, the escape of subtcrrarean gases
| renders it unsafe for persons to pass
through the tunnel. it will be unfortunate
in the extreme.

renders difficult its ventilation. for il is

THE CAUSE OF APPENDICITIS.
r'rom the Milwaukee Wisconsin,

IE'rOn the MILWAUKEE, w lScOnSln.D
An English physician. Dr. Joseph Kidd.
has arrived at the conclusion that the
Increasing use of apcrent medicines, es
peoially those containing salts, is a cause
of the alarming frequency Of append
)citi~ He says: 1t is natural to ask,
what have apericnt waters and salts to do
with appendicitis? To that, Il very true
answer is that the action of saline pur-
cativcs is to cause a flow of water
through the Intestinal canal. This passes
off quickly. but alas it leaves the solid
portions to accumulate in the caecum at
the right side, near the appendix, where
the small intestine ends and the large
one commences The solid portions left
in the colon become more and more
putrid. cause obstruction. and infect the
appendix Pcritonits follows, with en-
trene danger to life" DIR. Kidd sets
forth his view at length in an article In
the Nineteenth Century. He thinks that
rcoplo make a mistake in taking medi-
cine without medical direction, and urges
careful mastication of food as an aid ia
digestion and therefore q preventive OF
apperdicitis. Undoubtedly the dosing
habit is responsible for the premature
loss every year of many valuable lives.

WAR ANOTHER YEAR At LEAST.

Only few days ago tho world was
gravely Informed that Japan had an
nounccd its Willingness to conclude
peace with Russia, and color was given
the terms which had commended them
selves to the Mikado. According to so
good an authority as the Japanese min
lister at Washington. however. the re-
port in question is false. and he adds
that the peace talk of the last few
days does not emarate in Japan but
is created in Some other land. In sub
sanitation of this statement the Jap
anesc minister shows that the gov
eminent of his country has made all
necessary arrangements to continue
the war for another year. at least.
Some weeks ago the imperial diet
voted for the war budget to run from
April, 1905, to April. 1906 and so far
has been no thought of beginning ne
gotiatiOns looking to peace.
Minister Takahira goes further and
shows that it would be impossible for
Japan under existing conditions to as
sumo the initiative in any movement
looking 20 a cessation of hostilities
He emphasizes the point that while
Japan has been honored with success
in practically every battle so far. the
fact remains that constant reverse has
made no apparent effect upon Russia
On the contrary through her repre-
sentatives she has been constantly de-
claring that she will fight to the bitter
end or until size wins one or more de-
cisivc battles.
When one stops to think of the i'm.
mcnse size Of Russia. the great mum.
the extraordinary extent of her re.
sources, it can hardly be regarded a:
strange that Russia should take this
position. On the other hand the Jap.
anese minister says that if Japar
should propose peace now. it is Ger,
tain that she would not get it eXcep
at the sacrifice OF the advantageQu.
position she has gained at an enor
nous cost of life and treasure. II,
holds it to bc> cli-evident. therefore
that the peacc talk of the past few day
could not have cmanatcd in japan. y,
this as il may somebody talked peac'
plausibly and in stated terms, and il
the end ii may prove that the term
adopted are not widely different from
those outlined.
Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1905-03-02

conclusion Is reached that the State
should accordingly enjoy at least half
of the proceeds Of the license fee sys-
ten. The remarkable assertion is made
that II the Bay state had retained all
the Sees from liquor licenses the pre-
cedng year, the State tax would have
been only 1888 instead OF $780,
900.
Another argument advanced in sup
port Of the proposed change in the
Massac husetts system of distribution is
that the communities which do not vote
in favor of license are now subjected
to an unjust discrimination. In Illus
tration of this it is asserted that one
town which has no license saloon paid
IL state tax of 21.A50 last year, where's
orally distributed the town would have
had q tax of only $1,114 to pay. In
cases where liquor saloons are near
town lines. adjoining towns may suf-
fer manifest injustice since they share
in the disorder. A proposition made
familiar through discussion in connec-
tion with consideration of the local op-
tion law in Vermont Is that urged in
support of the change proposed in
Massac husctts to the effect that an
| equal division Of the revenue from IL
censc fees between tho town and state
tends to eliminate tho financial con-
| sidcra lion when cities and towns come
10 vote on the saloon question.
Judging from the weight of arEu-
nent advanced in supper. of the re-
| vision of the Massachusetts law so that
| the State and town voting for license
shall share the proceeds Of the foe sys-
tom equally, the Vermont Legislature
came TO wise conclusion when it de
cded upon this ratio of distribution in
our own state.
! When all is said and done. however
! that town does bcst which does not
| vote TO authorize the sale of iutoXicat
! ing liquor as q beverage. for tho rev.
enuc received is as nothing compared
with the injurious effects experienced
as a result of license.

MILK BOTTLES or PAPER.
(F'rom American Mcdicine.)

Tho many disadvantages Of the glass
milk bottle as now almost universally en-
ploycd are well known. One of the most
Serious is the difficulty in securing proper
cleansing before it is reiilod, with the
accompanying possibility Of spreading in =
lection. Efforts to secure Improvement in
this detail of milk service have he-o,ofore
been unsuccessful, mainly becatse of fail
IRE to obtain satisfactory substitute.
Recent Investigations by DR.. a. II. stew
art of the bactcriolosc department. Phila-
dclphia bureau of health, indicate that at
last a very acceptable contaucr has been
found in what he desgnatcs a single
service paper milk bottle 1t is made Of
heavy spruce wood fiber paper, comic in
shape to facilitate nesting. and with an
ingenious locking device to retain the bot
tom. An important feature of the bottle
is its situratOn with rargflin by being
dipped in that substance at 212 degrees,
Fahrenheit. and then baked. This steril-
ICES the bottle and prevents the milk COM
ing in contact with the paper itself and
adhcrins, as it does 20 tho glass bottle.
For shipment. the bottles are packed in
nests of 90. three nests being scaled in a
sterile bag; the lids are also put up in
sterile packages. Bacterioloec tests will,
sample bottle were exceedingly satisfac-
tory. AS received from the manufact tory,
none were found to contain micro-orgnn-
isms. Closed bottles were sent to several
dairics near Philadelphia a glass bottle
and paper bottle at each being filled
