Of capcer, just as its knowledge OF
diphtheria has rendered that once
Dire adfui plague practically harmless.
When we consider that the material
for cancer research is supplied entire
ly by mice, the human race owes the
mouse a debt of the deepest gratitude.
Il science is able to isolate cancer and
finally cure it through the agency OF
the mouse, humanity should combine
to erect a statue to the genus Mouse.
We have statues to dogs and lions
why not to mice?
Mouse Alone Is Useful.
Strange to say. the mouse has proved
the only animal capable of serving in
the search for the cause and cure Of
cancer. Guinea pigs. rabbits, dogs.
kittens and all other animals SO often
used in Investigations to discover a
remedy for deadly diseases have utter
~ Failed to yield practical results In
cancer research. II was at this point,
when the world of science was prac-
tfcally stumped, that the mouse came
forward and inundated himself on the
altar of knowledge-otherwise the vivi-
sectors table.
/ have just paid 4 visit TO the Lon
don laboratory of the Imperial Can
Ger Research Fund, and saw from 25,-
900 to 10000 mice, each one of which
had q cancer in some form or other.
Mice live for very long time on the
vivisection treatment; and some mice
which have had cancer actually re-
cover. 1t rs on this extremely interest
ing fact that the hope of ultimately
conquering cancer rests. Why certain
mice with virulent and undoubted can
Ger actually get well is the problem
which science liz wrestling with to-day.
Mice by the thousand are being OBJ
served and treated with certain medi-
cines: and perhaps some day in the
not distant future one OF the doctors
will hit upon a form of treatment
which will enable mice to recover with
certainty, and then the human race
will be rid of one of the worst scourSes
which to-day affects humanity.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l.--Construc-
ton OF the new Union station. which
will b. the joint terminal Of the
Penn sylvarli. ard the Baltimore q
Ohio railroads. is now so far advanc-
ed that citizens are able to get q
general idea of the appearance OF the
ompleted edifice. which will be the
finest In the country. II not in the
whole world. About 60 per cent Of
the work has been completed.
The engineers in charge OF the ex-
tensivc operations have attacked the
difficult problems that confronted
them from three different points. and
are working on the terminal depot,
the north approach and the south
puproach at the same time. The ex-
tansive tunneling. bridging and filling
necessary for the approaches is we'll
under way. The concrete founda-
lions for the building, which are about
10 feet deep. have been placed. and
the material for filling In between
them has been delivered. The gran
lite and brick work of the east end
Of the building is almost finished.
The amount of material and the ex-
tensivc excavation necessary In the
work of construction Is extraordinary.
The filling within the limits OF the
terminal amounts to 100000 cubic
yards-enough to cover an acre lot to
depth of over $50 feet. To I'LL the
plaza and raise adjacent streets to
/ the new grade, about one million Gu
bic yards OF material will be reQuir-
cd. II all this filling were deposited
on an average city block, the sides
beng kept vertical. 1t would form q
mound $50 feet high. II all the ma
terial which will be moved to pre-
pare the site for the coach, engine
and shop yards-about two and one
| half million yards--were similarly de-
| posted. the hill would be as high ~
| the Washington monument.
To excavate this vast amount Of
| material would require the services
Of a steam shovel. moving an aver
age of $4,000 cubic yards a month
from nine to ten years. To move II
to the place OF deposit would require
about 10000 trains OF ~ cars each
Should these cars be coupled togeth
err in straight line they would coy
err distance OF over 600 miles.
Up to date there has been deliver
ed at Washington. for use in the con
struction OF the station, the following
amount OF materials: FireprOOnnl
materials. 1913 cars; stone ballast and
screenings. 1850: sand, 5000: cement
$40; cinders, 5000; brick. 1850;
structural steel for building. $50
structural steel for bridges and CIR
der-coyered way, 300; granite. 426

people in Vermont for debt. Many peo-
PIE used to cross the Connecticut river
from the New Hampshire side to trade

be a little cautious about being caught

One day he ventured over and the
sheriff got after him. He ran down

Los Angeles. Cal, Feb. 26.-Tommy
Burns, without a mark on him to show
that he had been through a 2o-round
bout with Marvin Hart, was about town
Sunday.
MY fight may not have been highly
spectacular" said Burns, but L want
ed to win. and fought the way 1 knew
I could turn the trick. Hart didn't hurt
me once, and think I am entitled
to the next crack at Jack O'BrIen or
any other of the heavyweights."
Hart nursed his battered face and was
a very sore Individual. He has no ex-
cuses, except that Burns refused to
stand up and fight.
A share of the credit for Burns vic
tory Is due to Jack Twin" Sullivan.
It was Jack who mapped out the plan
of jabbing and either dancing away
or running into a clinch to keep Hart
from getting his pile rights 10

TWO ESCAPE FROM JAIL.
LeavenwOrtll Prisoners Throttle the
JaiIer and Escape.

Leavenworth, Kes., Feb. 26.-Lu-
bert Clark, a Mexican burglar, was
arrested by the police here Sunday
but escaped by overpowering the city
jailer. Saturday night Clark broke
into the Bittman-Todd wholesale gro
Gerry store and ransacked the cash
drawers. He ate canned goods, which
he stole. Clark evidently believed
that none of the employees would visit
the store on Sunday, for he hid in the
basement Two employees discovered
in the afternoon that a burglar had
been in the store and the police We're
notified and found Clark in the base
ruen9. Clark tried to attack the police
with q long knife, but surrendered
when revolvers were pointed at him.
A few hours after Clark was placed
in the city jail he asked to be let out
OF his cell to go get a drink When
John Shae, the jailer, complied, Clark
struck him and clicked him into in
sensibility. While Clark held Shae
down on the Jail floor William Schultz,
under sentence for wife beating, took
the jai1er's keys and unlocked the
doors and Clark and Schultz ran.
Clark injured Shae badly and it was
some time before an alarm was given
to the police. Clark had half an
hours start.
