Tho Wav Rome Taxes Americans

Tax lodging il difficult IN Rome, ac-
cord,np TO the Dundee Advertiser. The
assessors of the income tax In the city
Of Rome are now called upon to tax
American visitors on the basis or their
annarent incomes. All sorts of reasons
are alleged for the existence OF con
csaled wealth." One American visitor
was heavily taxed on the ground that
his diamond rings were Of such a value
as TO stamp him undenlably as mil
lionalre. He repudlated the statement,
when it was triumphantly pointed out
TO him that his name appeared daily IN
journal which inserted FASHION
notes" only on payment. Another Wis
Itor was taxed on the basis OF the num-
her of letters which he received from
home. This, said the assessor, declar'
cd him to be man Of substance. lie
retorted that the letters contained
small sums of money, and, TO Ms
amazement he was met by the counter
assertion that the contents or the let
ters were known. A lady was taxed
ON the ground that she mixed VIII
otber neople who were taxed at Ger
tain level. and Americans regar'
eouality IN wealth as social equality.
She attempted to controvert the argu
| ment. but In vain.

Starting in n shanty and henhouse,
with almost no property beyond a hoe
and blind mule the school has grown
mn gradually, much as a town grows
We need food for our tables. Farm
ING therefore. was our first industry
started to meet this need. with the
need for shelter for our students
courses in house building and carpeh-
trv were added. Out Of these brick
making and brick masonry naturally
grew. ,,,x
The increasing demand for buildings
made further specialization In the IN
dustries necessary. Soon we found
ourselves teaching tinsmithing plaster
ing and painting. Glasses in cooking
wore added because we needed compe-
tent persons to prepare the 1000
Courses in laundering, sewing dining
room work and nurse training nave
been added TO meet the actual neeos
nj the school community. This process
Of specialization has continued as the
school increased In numbers and as Tie
more varied wants Of a larger com

The sIeening Sickness.

To the excitement of big game NUM-
ing in Africa there will henceforth Dc
added the knowledge that the hunter
risks contracting one OF the most
dreadful of all known diseases-sleep-
inc sickness-dreadful because 1t is III
curable and ultimately fatal. Unti
very recently it had been supposed tha'
Europeans were immune, but II mas
recently been proved that this beiiei
was wrong. Sleeping sickness Is caused
by a parasitic prOtozoan known as
trvpanosome, which infests the blood
and the cavities Of the nervous syS-
tem-the brain and spinal cord These
minnie but terrible organisms are car
ried and distributed by the Dlte Oh
snecies of tsetse fly. This terror mas
appeared In Uganda only within he
last wear or two, having made Its wa!
along the river systems from the wes'
coost of Africa. Yet during the mrs.
two years of its appearance in Uganda
no less than 10000 Of the native III
habitants have fallen victims.

Animals, Immunity From Poison.

The fact that the hedgehog feariessiy
attacks and kills the viper has Deeh
ascribed by some naturalists 10 Tue
protection afforded by its spiny cover
More recently, however, it has been as
covered that even when bitten IN the
unprotected nose and in the region Oh
the eyes by a venomous serpent the
hedgehog suffers no i'll consequences
This observation has led to expert
ments which have demonstrated to the
satisfaction Of many naturalists that
there is an immunizing substance IN
the blood of the hedgehog which serves
AZ an antidote to the poison.
It Is said that all animals possess TINS
substance in varying degrees, but IN
many it is not sufficiently active 10
counteract the effects Of venom.
Science hopes to obtain serum tha'
can be used as an antidote not only III
cases OF snake bite, but for many othei
nelson's as well.-Philadelphia Record.

ROUGH RIDER COPS MAY
Be ASSIGNED DOWN TOWN

Mounted patromen on lower Westmin-
ster and Weybosset streets may be seen
in a short time as the result OF a sug-
gestion made by Chairman William H.
Luther OF the board OF police commission
ers, which was concurred in recently by
other members of the board and resulted
in n conference on the matter with Chief
OF Police Matthews yesterday afternoon.
At times the congestion in traffic in
this busy section is considerable. and IL
Is Chairman Luthers idea that mounted
police would be much better able to cope
with the difficulty than men ON foot.
In the choice of men TO cover these
points OF congestion in the day time It
is probable that accomplished riders will
be sought for. A policeman assigned to
this work. who was not pretty close 10
the real thing as rough rider would be
something of a Joke and make congestion
and delay all the worse because OF his
inability and the space he and his horse
would take up.
Mounted men with the proficiency dis
played by tho horsemen "coppers'' on
Fifth avenue, New York. would be well
coined in the congested district
Chief OF Police Matthews said today
that he had not yet gone into details OF
tho matter. but is TO shortly. and ex-
poets that Il will result in a big improve
