APPENDICITIS GERM
FOUND IN VEGETABLES
Paris Physician Declares Disease in
Majority of Cases Is Caused by
Hot House Parasites.

PARIS, July 25.-An entirely new
theory regarding appendicitis is put for
ward by Prof. Blanchard, "a famous
French physician and indorscd by Prof.
Metchnikoff, of the Pasteur Institute.
Prof. Blanchard says that an opera
ton for appendicitis. except when caused
by swallowing some hard substance, is
absolutely unnecessary, The most fire.
quent cause of the disease is intestinal
parasites. the most dangerous being the
trygocephsl which sets up the painful
symptoms indicating appendicitis.
Forced hOt-hOuse vegetables. according
to the Blanchard theory, have a great
deal to do with appendicitis. Prof.
Blanchard adds; Appendicitis. when
not the consequence of the accidental
swallowing of some hard substance, is
undoubtedly caused by the parasites TO
he found in cabbages, Uurnips, cauli-
flowers. and carrots. that have been
forced by manures or watered by con
tsminaJed we'll and spring water"
Thymol is recommended by the pro-
fessor as a killer OF the appendicitis
worm.

A dispatch from Newport, r. l. con.
corning a former Richmond man
follows:
One of the most notable transfers
Of Newport real estate since twenty
years ago, when Mr. Hamilton NICK
Twombly purchased the Catherine l..
Wolfe place. was announced by
Messrs, Deblos & Eldridge this af-
ternoon. 1t was the transfer of Mr.
Frederick W. Vanderbilt's handsome
SUMMER residence on the cliffs to Mr..
William b. Leeds, who will occupy it
for the first time next season.
Mr. Leeds had looked over the
house and grounds several times with
view to purchasing it and it was
known that he and Mrs Leeds were
much taken with the place, but so
much time had elapsed since he made
his last inspection that it was under
stood he had given up the idea of
Buying.
The estate, which is known as
Rough Point. ranks third in value
and attractiveness among all New
ports summer places. The grounds
land, front on Bellevue avenue and
extend to the famous cliffs east and
north, the cliff walk turning on the
estate
"The villa is of stone and is of a
low. rambling style of architecture
that fits perfectly with the landscape.
As it is located on Rough Point, it
affords one of the most engaging
ocean outlooks to be had from the
cliffs. The bluff is bold off Rough
Point and the surf dashes unusually
high. while the shore in front of the
villa is wild ard picturesque.
There is pretty lodge on the es-
tate, and Mr.. Leeds has also purchas-
ed the stables in Lake View avenue,
which are surrounded by 3o,147
square feet of land.
MIR. Vanderbilt built the house
eighteen years ago, having purchased
three estates for a site. He and Mrs.
spent the summer there
regularly until five years ago, when
Mr.. Vanderbilt found the climate did
not agree with his health and he
purchased country place in Hyde
Park. where he has since spent the
summer seasons.
Mr.. Vanderbilt never had rented
he house, but he loaned it for several
seasons to Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas II.
the latter Mrs. fVanderbilt's
niece. Though Mr. and Mrs. Wander
Dilt had practically abandoned New
port as summer home. it was only a
lew months ago that they consented
o dispose of their place.
Mr.. and Mrs. Leeds have spent
wo seasons here, occupying the vii
as of Mr. l. Townsend Burden and
Mr. John r. Drexel. They will soon
20 abroad for the winter, and OnI
heir return to this country in June
hey will come to Newport. While
lbroad they will purchase a large
mount of furnishings for the house. |
mo statement is made of the. price |

nut it is believed to be about $780, |

walked faster than the ordinary farm

and part was due to the breed
