NEW APPENDICITIS THEORY.
French Physician Says Disease Is
Caused BY Intestinal Worms.

The question as to whether it is ad-
visable to operate SO frequently for
appendicitis continues to arouse the
interest of Frenc! physicians.
NJ. Blanchard, a shinging light in the
French medical world, now comes
forward with startling new theory
which entirely upsets all preconceived
notions. He asserts-and says his as
sertion is backed by Prof. Metcnni-
koff, Of the Pasteur institute-that
appendicitis is undoubtedly caused by
intestinal worms. These are Of three
kinds, and the most dangerous is that
known as the trygocephal, which
causes the sharp pains and symptoms
which indicate appendicitis.
Microscopic examination in every
case of appendicitis that has come
under the observation Of Prof.
Blanchard and Prof Metchnikof has
revealed the presence Of these para
sites in the appendix. ''Appendicit-
isl says Prof. Blanchard, more es-
pecially occurs during the hot wealth
er and although not contagious or
infectious, it frequently assumes the
character of an epidemic in certain
districts"
Now, according to the professor,
market gardens in the neighborhood
Of great cities, such as Paris and Lon
don, are frequently manured and fer
tilized by the deordorized and chem
ically treated product Of the city
sewers In these market gardens the
vegetables are forced, and examina-
ton shows parasites, and especially
the eggs Of the dreaded trygocephal.
The professor says that a surgical
operation for appendicitis is absolute
ly unnecessary, and that it should
never be formed unless some hard
substance such as a cherry stone has
been accidently swallowed by the
patient He urges legislation to for
bid the use of deordorized and chem
ically treated sewerage as manure,
and that thymol should be extensive
ly used against Intestinal worms.
Appendicitis" adds Prof BlanchS
ard, "when not in the consequence of
the accidental swallowing Of some
hard substance, is undoubtedly
caused by the parasite to be found in
the cabbage, turnips, carrots, and eau
lihower The danger lies in eating
vegetables that have been forced by
manu.es or watered by contaminated

DRUNKENNEss AND CRIME.
The Relation Between Them Not So
Close as it Might Appear.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The census
bureau has issued a bulletin contain
ing statistics Of cities having a popu-
lation of s, 900 to $4,000. The tables
give, among other things, the number
OF arrests for different causes, and
comparisons has been made by Of
fcials and men interested in sociolo-
gieal problems between prohibition
and license States, for the purpose OF
studying the effects Of prohibition
and the result is surprising in many
respects.
The total population of the cities
between 5000 and $4,000 inhabitants
OF Illinois is 3S0,2Se, OF Indiana, 275,-
s5s, of Ohio, sss,2SS, OF Iowa 164,-
sos, of Kansas 1o4, 745, Of Maine
1854 Three OF these States are
license States, three are prohibition
States.
The numbers of arrests for drum
kenness among eacn one thousand
Inhabitants in these States are as fol-
lows: Illinois 1880; Indiana, 1858;
Ohio, $500; Iowa, 27.5o; Kansas,
1851; Maine, $3.50.
For disturbance of the peace the
numbers of arrests were: Illinois,
S.5s; Indiana, 1.72; Ohio, S.22; Iowa,
$40. kansas, 7.e4; Maine, o.s2.
For both causes together Illinois,
.25.ss; Indiana, 1880; Ohio, 1922;
Iowa, $3.50; Kansas, 1925; Maine
25.71.
These figures show that drunken
ness is much more prevalent in iowa
and Maine. both prohibition States,
than in either Illinois Indiana or
Ohio. And if the arrests for drum
kenness and disturbance of the peace
are taken together, which is quite
proper because drunken persons are,
in police stations, quite frequently
slated for disturbance Of the peace,
Kansas makes almost as bad a show
ins as Illinois and considerably
worse showing than Indiana.
Further comparison is still more
interesting. The total number Of ar
rests for each one thousand inhabi-
tants in the States named was, in
Illinois, 44.2s; Indiana, 41.s4; Ohio,
1851; Iowa, go; Kansas, 1929;
Maine, 1854, and the number of ar
rests for other causes but drunken
ness and disturbance of the peace was
in Illinois, 1910; Ir,aiana, 22.64; Ohio
2s.ss; Iowa, 27.4o;a Kansas, 24.o4;
Maine, 7.ss.
Here again figures show that in re-
spect to the total number Of arrests
iowa takes the lead and that Kansas
is far ahead Of Illinois and Indiana.
Exactly the same result appears in
considering the number of arrests for
all other causes but drunkenness and
disturbance Of the peace. This, how
ever, is very important, for after the
s elimination Of drunkenness and dis
urbance Of the peace, the remainder
of the causes consists principally in
actual crime.
Somewhat astonishing is the small
number of arrests for other causes
but drunkenness and disturbance of
the. peace in Maine would necessarily
causes for. it may. De the fact that the
number of arrests for drunkenness in
that state is very large, larger than
in either State on the list Iowa ex-
cepted, amply proves that drink is
not, as prohibitionists declare, the
cause Of most crimes. If it were, the
number OF arrests for other causes
than drunkenness and disturbance OF
tn peace in Marie would necessarily
be considerably larger.

SEA BIRDS LOST IN FOG.

A gannet or Solan goose, the bird

borough, Lancashire. 1t is rare, says
the London Daily Mail, that a bird
- absolutely dependent on the sea
for its existence is found so far in,

Fogs, it has been shown, act as a
deterrent to migration, causing the
moving hosts to rise above the fog
level, and so to pass over places they
usually visit, or, oyertaking them,
they temporarily bar further progress.
The list of British birds owes its
continual increase to fogs and other
adverse weather conditions. During
the last year or two British ornith-
ologists, aided by lighthouse keepers,
acting with the consent Of the Elder
Brethren of Trinity House, have done
much to clear up the mysteries Of
migration.
During heavy wind and rain birds
fly low when crossing the sea, barely
overlapping the waves, instead of, as
was supposed, rising above the clouds.

LOST BETS ON FROZEN FISH
Spectators of scaly Proposition
Obliged to Part with Their
Cold Cash.

A long pike, frozen in the center
of large cake of ice, caused several
| dead game sports to lose bunch of
money, relates the Anaconda Standard
The fish and the block of ice reposed
on the back bar of a well-known thirst
parlor and the pike was viewed with
curiosity. Finally some one started a
discussion by stating that if the fish
were released from its prison of ice 1t
would revive and continue to live lust
as If there had never been any ice.
Another gent disagreed with the first
and general argument followed.
One fellow said that that was the
way fish spent the winter months reg
ularly. Like snakes, he said, they re.
manned in a comatose condition all win.
ter and when the ice melted in the
springtime they were just as frisky
as If summer had continued all win

ed and bets amounting to several hun
dred dollars were laid on both sides
of the question at issue. The cake of
ice was split and the fish placed in a
tub of lukewarm water, but at last
reports he had shown no signs of life.

Real Indian Drama.

In America the once mighty Ojib-
ways, the Indians of the lake regions,
are playing each year daily, through
the summer season, what has been
called their Passion Play" at Ya-way-
ga-mug, now known as Round Lake.
near PetOskey, Michigan.
This play, adapted and translated
from Longfellow's "Hiawatha," by Mr..
Armstrong of Montreal, was first play
ed at Desbarats, in the heart of the
Ojibway country, for the entertainment
of LongfellowFs children and grand
children.
The location at Desbarats was found
to be too far away for the people of
the United States to see it, and it was
changed to Ya-way-ga Lake. This
is place where once the mighty Glib
ways hunted and fished, and met in
council, and camped when the winds
blew hard on the great lakes. Here
they could grow corn, beans and pota-
toes, and here their love for the beau
tiful and the wild in nature was sat
isfied- Here, too, they fought their
ancient foe, the IrOquois.-Four-tra
