TO SUCCEED GEN. MILLS.
It is Thought That Major Scott Will
Be superintendent at West Point

Although no Official Information on the
subject Is obtainable at the War Depart
ment, II seems to be generally accepted
in military circles that Brig. Gen. Albert
L. Mills will be relieved from duty as su-
perintendent of the United States Military
Academy before the beginning of the next
school term In September. and assigned to
the command of military department In
either this country or the Philippines. The
usual detail at the West Point Academy
is for four years. Gen. Mills has been SUI
perintendent for eight years, having been
first detailed in 1898.
Mai. Hugh l. Scott. 14th Cavalry, now
stationed at Manila, p. l.. is regarded as
the most probable successor of Gen. Mills
at the Military Academy. He was Gen.
Woods chief of star in Cuba and accompa-
MED that officer to the Philippines. He
was in this city few months ago on leave
OF absence and 1t was then reported that he
was to be made brigadier general for
gallant conduct in action in the Philippines
resulting in his being severely wounded.

Natural Color of Pure Water.

1t was long ago discovered that the
natural color of pure water is blue,
and not white, as most of us usually
supposed. Opinions have not agreed
on the cause of the green and yellow
tlnts; these, it has been discovered
by w. Spring, are due to extraneous
substances. Dissolved calcium salts,
though apparently giving green tint,
due to a fine invisible suspension,
have no effect on the color of the
water when adequate precautions
are taken. The brown or yellow color
due to iron salts is not seen when cal
cium is present. The green tint is
often due to a condition of equilibrium
between the color effect of the iron
salts and the precipitating action OF
the calcium salts.-Scientific Amerl-
can.

Fresh Hope of Cancer Cure.

Again the hope of curing cancer
looms large-only as Frightening hope
in the report of the British imperia
cancer research fund. The brighten
ing is this, that it has been found pos
sible to prevent the development OF
cancer in animals by incubation with
kind of serum. A mouse was thus
protected, and injections from its
body into other field mice retarded the
growth of cancer artifcially induced.
This is different, it will be noted,
from a cure. To avert smallpox by
vaccination is very different from
curing smallpox Still the hope is ex-
pressed that this discovery may be
a step toward the great one of a cure
for this hitherto incurable disease. In
the current number of McClure's Mag
azine, DR.. Saleeby, of Edinburgh uni
versity, gives an account of expert
ments by Prof. Beard, of the same
university, in the use of the ferment
known as trypsin, which seems to
pow eiN1 'hC dStiFC agent VI Tic pan
creas will destroy the malignant can
Ger cells and bring about an abso-
lutte cure. Briefly, according to DR..
Boards theory, cancer develops
from cells remaining in the body
from an asexual stage of the en-
bryo; cells which should have been
degenerated and absorbed or digest
ed by the fluids of the pancreas, an
organ which develops just after the
asexual stage. These are really germ
cells that might have developed into
another organism, and, therefore.
death by cancer is fratricide-one
germ-cell killing the organism that
has developed from it's brother. The
treatment is tentative, but expert
ments on human beings show appar-
emily satisfactory results in prevent
Ing the recurrence of cancer after op-
Grafton. Statistics show that this dis
ease is increasing both in this conu-
try and in Europe, and if it's cure is
not In sight it is hoped that there is
mere the development of a preventive
incubation which may be effectively
applied as needed
