Many Races in Abyssinia.

The most interesting part of the
dark continent is Abyssinia. Here
the beasts of the field and the flowers
of the meadow from the Mediterra-
mean region meet those of tropical
Africa. Here the snow capped noun.
tains retain wild goat; here also Is
peculiar and aberrant dog. and in
the western lowlands Is a true wild
boar. Several of the antelopes and
two or three species of monkey are
peculiar to Abyssinia. as are numer-
Ous birds. a few fish. two or three rep
tiles. and great many plants. The
human races are of varied types and
widely different origins, speaking a
diversity of languages. some of them
as yet unclassiiicd. In the extreme
southwest ar" negro types. in the
south' asst and south they are hand
some Gala-Hamitic or Somala stock.
in the north there are Hamite and
Semitic, and traces of ancient Greek
or Egyptian colonies. and dark skinned

!HE ONE THING LACKING.
Nc nument Perfect, Save in Ono
Small Respect.

Many stories are told about the
late Foster Stafford, who was one of
the pioneer mill men of Fall River,
Mass He was hard-headed busi-
ness man. blunt of speech. and reli-
gious affairs were not his long suit.
Two anecdotes tend to illustrate these
points.
When the first of the mills which
now bear his name was nearing COM
pletion it was found that the build
ing was to be iiat-roofed affair, and
some of his stockholders who had
an eye toward making the city beau
tiful. called on Mr.. Stafford in a body.
They tried to persuade him to have
an ornate tower added to the struc-
ture.
When they had exhausted their ar
guments Mr. Stafford closed the incl
dent by remarking You cannot
make me change my mind. cause.
d it. gentlemen, towers doc't

Previous to his death, Mr.. Stafford
had a fac-simile of a cotton mill cut
in granite and placed in his lot at
Oak Grove cemetery. to serve as his
tombstone. When it had been put
in place. he invited the late Walter
c. Durfee another well-known mill
man of those days. to go with him
and inspect it.
Durfee examined ii closely.

Water In Epidemics.

The relation OF water to germs and
epidemics Is a subject full OF interest
from the standpoint OF pulse hygiene.
In the Revue Scientihque" DR.. Nal
7nejac discusses the whole subject OF
the experiments which have been
made from 1885 to the present day TO
test this question. and especially with
respect to Eberth's bacillus. which Is
that OF typhus. All that Is known of
this bacillus vitality. habits and
reproduction-is dwelt upon. with the
result OF showing that 1t subsists long
er than any other in sterIllzed water.
DR.. Malmejac's conclusion is that wa
ter should be regarded as true am.
bient for germs. and not as an acci-
dental channel. and. above all. that
pathogeneous germs may live In water
for sufficient length Of time to cause
epidemics.

Hindu Moon Lore,

The full eclipse OF the moon was OBJ
served in Singapore on the night OF
August 4. According to the Hindus
this eclipse Is the contact between
the moon and another planet called
Rahoo. but the masses believe that
owing to the will OF God, Rahoo. or the
serpentlike planet. catches hold of the
moon by its hideous mouth and re
leases 1t after a short time.
At the first contact the Hindus
bathe principally in the sea and anXi-
ously await the release. After the
contact they take another bath. Dur
ing the interval they are not allowed
even to drink a cup OF water, as their
belief Is that all things in the world
get polluted during the contact.-SinS'

Lafayette FIaunted Liberty Medal In
Face Of Louis.

Shortly after Lafayette's return to
France from his second sojourn in
America, he was at Versailles, where
the king was about to review a diyi.
sion of troops. Lafayette was asked
to join in the review.
He was dressed in the American uni.
form. and was standing by the side OF
the Prince de Conde, when the king,
in his tour of conversation with the
officers, came to him. and. after
speaking on several topics. asked him
some questions about his uniform and
the military costume of the United
States. The kings attention was at
tracted by a little medal attached to
the generals coat, and he asked what
it was.
Lafayette replied that it was a SYM
Dol which it was the custom of for
cign officers in American service TO
wear, and that it bore device.
And what is the device upon
yours" asked the king.

eral. pointing to his medal. sis a lib.

A Resume of Cancer Research.

William Seaman cambridge states
that cancer occurs with the same es-
sential characteristics throughout the
vertebrate creation. There is a va
riety of conflicting evidence in refer.
ence to the influence of diet on the de-
velopment of cancer. However. cancer
is comparatively rare in hot countries.
especially in those whose inhabitan Is
subsist largely on vegetable diet. With
certain exceptions it seems to be prev
alent where animal diet is mostly con-
sumcd.
Black races are remarkably i'm.
mune from cancer. yellow races are
more prone to it, while the white races
are the most susceptible. 1t occurs
when the tissues are undergoing retro
grade metamorphosis. Cancer is un-
dOubtedly on the increase. The pin
cipal increase involves the alimentary
tract. There are certain district called
cancer belts" Such areas are usual
ly low lying and damp.
Women are attacked by cancer far
earlier and more often than men.
Much recent experimental work points
to the cell as the essential element in
the development of cancer. The para
site theory is discredited by the Har.
ward commission. The report OF the
imperial cancer research fund dest:oys
all known theories of the origin Of
cancer. but proposes no new theory.

lished on firmer basis than ever be-

this past year has been way within the
estimate.
Though his estimate is within the
estimate returned last year by close to
$500 H. K Goodrich, superintendent
of the city electric light plant, states
that it is In reality higher. This is due
TO the fact that it is costing the city
less to run the plant with the new
enclosed type of arc lamps than with
the old open arc lamps in adoption
last year I'VE are saving about $50
month on our salary list with these
new arc lamps in" said Goodrich
We cut down the force by discharg-
ing one man. I put the estimate nigh
er in fact than last year in order to
cover contingencies in a good man
ner."
The fuel bill, $500, is the same as
last year. The estimate on salaries IS
S6,639.96, on carbons $1,040, on main
tenance of line $618, repairs in boiler
room $50, new boiler feed pump
$500, and other miscellaneous items
The estimate of repairs to the plant
was last year $500. 1t will be noticed
that it is not above 5000 for this
year.
Timothy Donovan, chief Of police,
believes that his expenses will be
higher for the coming fiscal year and
accordingly he sets them down at
$29,312.50.1 In explanation OF this
higher estimate he says that the H.
crease in the salaries made by the
council is responsible for the CORE
spending higher estimate. However,
the chief must be reckoning on other
expenses for the increase in salaries
does not account in the main for the
size of the estimate.
He figures that he will spend $685.
400 for salaries and that 81, $50 will be
necessary TO feed the city prisoners;
other smaller items help swell the
amount.
A new item is contained in the city
engineers estimate-$900 for the hire
of an asphalt expert for the repaving
of Kansas avenue. Otherwise the esti-
mates for the two years are about the
same.
Salaries for employees consume most
Of the money that is spent from the
city engineers office. The city engi-
neer is paid $1.620, the assistant ST.
900. Office man $500, rodman $500 and
paving inspectors who are employed
only part of the time are paid. one
at $3.50 and another at $3.50, excaya-
ton inspector $500. sidewalk inspector
employed part of the year, $500, and
stake driver $500.
There is no sewer inspection charge
this year but the asphalt paving expert
offsets this to an extent.
There is big reduction in the esti-
mate returned by the mayor and city
clerks expenses. Last year the pub
hcation charges were figured in the
CITY clerks estimate. These charges
run about $1,000 a year. They belong
really as a general fund expense, but
were credited to the city clerk last
year.
