ABOUT APPENDICITIS.
TREATMENT OF THE MALADY
IN VARIOUS LANDS.
Rare Among People Who Eat Little
feat = Medicine More Sue
cessful Than the
Knife.

A statistical study of cases of ap-
pendicitis has been made by DR.. Chau-
vel, the medical inspector of the
French army. BY far the most valu-
able information brought out by this
investigation is the result of medical
treatment for the dis2ase Although
there is theory that there is no such
thing as medical treatment for APP
pendicitis, 1t is claimed that medical
treatment cures SO out Of every 100.
In 1902 66S patients suffering from
appendicitis were received in the mill
tary hospitals of France. Out of this
number 1873 were treated according to
| the surgical rite and 4S0 rece' we'd
purely medical treatment. OF the
number operated upon % died, while
out of the $50 not operated upon Il .ere
were but three deaths
DIR. Chauvel also made investiga-
| lions to find out the cause of appen-
i dicitis. He compared the figures fur
nished by the French army in the
metropolis and those of the army in
| Algiers. In 1901 the Nineteenth corps
of the army in France showed a rec
ord of one case to every thousand,
while the Nineteenth corps in Algiers
had two less. The next year these
| figures were larger, but the difference
was exactly the same.
Pushing his inquiries still further,
DR.. Chauvel found that the French
army in Algeria included both Euro
peans, French and natives. In five
years, out of $4,000 men, there were
among the French and Europeans 1877
cases of appendicitis, while in the
same space of time out of $1,000 ma
tives, there were but 10 cases. This
shows that the disease is two times
more frequent among the French In
France than the French in Algeria
and is ten times less frequent among
the natives. The difference is toe
great to be accidental. DR.. Chauve
thinks the reason is in the alimenta
ton.
The Arabs are sober people who
eat little and are vegetarians. WheI
they eat meat 1t is cooked to shreds
So it happens that among the Arabs
leading their ordinary life the dis
ease is almost unknown. 1t is seer
more frequently among the auxilia
ries. 1t is because the regime of tn
latter is no more the regime of tn
Arab, but more like that of the Frencl
trooper. But this does not explain
why the European transplanted to tn
soil of Africa, where his regime hard
ly differs from that of the metropolis
should likewise be immune from tn
, disease.
Other medical men have testified t
the rarity of appendicitis among pee
pie who eat less meat than we. Dl
Snyder, who has been attached to tn
Persian court for more than ten years
has been called upon to treat only fiv
cases of this nhalady at Teheran, thre
of which were Europeans and onl
two Persians. He also attributes tn
rarity of perpendicular accidents
the mode of alimentation of the Pei
slams. AT Teheran abstinence fror
pork is obligatory and the meat of ca
tie is almost unknown. Their meat
, are usually chicken or mutton, an
these are always cooked to shreds.

TRUTH ABOUT THE TRAPpER
Not Picturesque Figure, But Cruel
and Ruthless Destroyer
of Game.

w. H. Wright, the noted grizzly
bear hunter. tells about "The Trap
per's Real Character" in Worlds
Work. He declares that the trapper
of to-day lacks every characteristic
which romance has interviewer with
his name. He says: people who
have not seen can form no idea of the
suffering trappers cause, nor of their
ruthless destruction of game. Moth
Ing escapes them; even the squir tells
are sacrificed to bait traps for mar
ten and fisher, and not only the squir-
rels, but all kinds of birds, whether
game or song birds. In trapping
mink, otter, beaver, and few other
fur-bearing animals, the trap is near
ly always set near the water, where
the animal when caught can drown
itself, thus ending it's suffering But
with bear, marten and fisher it is diff
ferent The bear must drag a heavy
clog about until it catches in some
root or bush. There he must wait IN
til the trapper comes to kill him, and
this in some cases Is not for days.
The bones of the leg are almost in
variably broken by the trap, and the
leg swells to incredible size" Mr.
Wright gives many examples of the
trappers' brutality. He writes: Zone
| trapper in one day shot 10 large blue
grouse, merely to try a new Colts
rifle. The birds were nesting; he
had no use for them, and not one did
he even bring to camp. Three years
ago, in British Columbia, an old trap
per camped near our bear-hunting par
ty He shot everything he could find,
even little ducks and marmots. A
goat he killed fell over a cliff; and
as 1t was harder to recover 1t than
to shoot another, he shot another. He
was trapping beaver out of season
and boosted of having caught one that
was about to become a mother. I have
seen the spot where bear, fast in q
trap, had been caught for more than
a week In thicket through which II
was impossible to drag the trap and
clog. once knew an old French
trapper who shot 70 moose and elk in
one winter, for bear bait for the
spring catch. I asked why he killed
so many. He said that he wanted 6
big stink in the spring SO as tt
bring the bears around. All of the
animals he had slaughtered for 6
spring stink were shot with a re
volver, for they were snowbound anG
could not escape. He told me thai
he dropped five big elk in one pile

has exterminated the game

NO KoWToWING FOR HIM.
Hotel Man Who Was Not to Be Over-~'
awed by Dignitaries of
State.

They tell this one on former Gov.
George Hoadly of Ohio:
Once upon a time in the midst of a
campaign, Mr.. Hoadly was to deliver
a speech at little town in the great
and glorious Buckeye State. When he
reached the one hotel the town boast
ed he walked up to the register and
wrote his name. The proprietor-head-
d-headwaiter-depot run
ner was behind the desk in his shirt
sleeves, his hat ON the back of his
head, and cigar stump held between,
his teeth. When the visitor had put,
down his John Hancock, the factotumI
turned the register around, read with
out the flicker of an eyelid the name
there written, wrote "10' beside It
with lead pencil and said:
"You kin jest take yer grip right up
that stairway there an back down the
hall clean to tn end. Yer rooms right
on tn left hand side of tn hall, in thy
corner-number TO-"
With considerable establishment and
not little injured dignity Ohio's chief
executive pointed to his name, smiled
family, and said:
II am George Hoadly."
yep; I notice." said the rustic
without turning a hair. "An' yer
rooms right there at tn end of tn
hall-number 10. Can't miss it."
With more hauteur, and almost
quivering with outraged Importance.
the guest said impressiyely:
81 am George Hoadly, governor OF
the state of Ohio!"
Turning, then, with look of ex-
asperated Impotence on his face, the
hotel man exclaimed:
well, what dye expect me t do

UNDERSEA COLD STORAGE.
Experiment of the English Admir-
atty Being Carried On at
Portsmouth.

Important experiments are being
carried out by the naval authorities
at Portsmouth dockyard to ascertain
to what extent the steaming properties
of the Welsh coal used in the British
sea.
Eighteen months ago iron crates,
each containing two tons of coal, were
sunk in the big basin, and at the
same time a similar quantity of coal
was carefully stored in the open air
at the coaling point and sheltered
from the weather beneath tarpaulins
At intervals of six months two-ton
samples from each storage have been
taken out and carefully burned, and
the results of the experiments have
shown conclusively that by submarine
storage of coal its calorific value
steadily increases, while by storage in
the open air a decided decrease is
shown.
At the naval coaling stations in the
tropics this decrease in calorific value
Is very great, the suns heat drawing
all the light volatile oils out of the
coal. The admiralty, having satisfied
themselves of the physical and finan,
cial advantages of the storage of coal
in the sea, have now directed that
experiments be made to ascertain its
practicability on a large scale.
The difficulty is that the submerged
coal has to be dried before use, to
remove the superficial moisture, which
otherwise in the close confines of q
warship's bunker would soon set uI
spontaneous combustion. The only
method of drying SO far attempted ii
by spreading the coal on iron trays il
the open air, process satisfactor,
enough for experimental purposes, bu
not feasible for quantities that amount
to thousands of tons.
