KEEPS HIS REMEDY SECRET
German Professor Claims to
Be Able to Put a Stop to
Consumption.

Berlin, Feb. S--Professor Emil Won
Bchring, the discoverer of the diphtheria
serum, addressing the German agrfcul-
tural council today, announced his deter
minatIon to adhere to the resolution
which he promulgated in Paris of keep
ing his tuberculosis remedy secret till the
autumn. The professor discussed Iengthily
the method Of preventing consumption by
immunizing mich COWS. The aim is TO
secure milk having minimizing properties.
He claims to have approximately solved
this problem. Cows are treated when
very young with a fluid which Profess
sor Behring calls tuberlouse. It is in
jected under the skin of the young COWS
repeatedly for two or three weeks. The
remedy at first was very costly because
1t was almost impossible to preserve Il
in good condition, but a method has re-
Gently been discovered by which It can
be preserved satisfactorily and at a mod
crate cost.
Professor Behring also treated COWS
which showed a virulent type Of tubercu-
lOsis in their milk His theory is that
children fed on milk from COWS rendered
immune through his treatment become
themselves immune.

A CURE FOR DEBILITY
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills A ReiiabIe
Remedy for the Weak, AiIins
and Bloodiess.

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes difficult 70 find the
cause unless q wasting illness has pre-
coded, or the sufferer happens to be a
girl on the verge of womanhOOd
Obscure influences, something un-
healthful in ones surroundings or work,
may lead to slow impoverishment Of
the blood and an enfeeblement of the
whole body. When a serious stage has
been reached there seems to be nothing
that will accoant for it.
Mr.. O. e. Legg, of Upton, W. Va,
has found successful method Of treat
ing weakness and bloodlessness. He
says:

weakness caused by a lingering malarial
fever that began in the spring of 1896.
The worst effects of this were indiges-
ton and bad state of my blood. Twas

GOVERNMENT BY ROBBERY
Russian Makes Light of the
PerSianS' Efforts to
Reform.

ST. Petersburg, Feb. SIN general it is
amusing to speak of 'cOnstitutionalism in
country like Russia, where the basis Of
government is systematiZed robbery
said Nicholas Olfereiff, director Of the
Ennelli-TaTVin-Tehera Chaussee, the
great trade route from the capital 10 the
Caspian sea, constructed under Russian
auspices, who is one of the best posted
Russians on Persian affairs, in summing
up today the situation in the Shah's king
dom. COntrOVeTting the impression that
the present agitation in Persia is directed
toward reform. Mr. OIfereiff said that
while it might be classed as revolutionary,
since it was directed against the dynasty
and foreign influences, it certainly could
not be referred to as constitutional or re-
formatOry, because the Persian clergy,
under whose direct mediation and supervi-
sion the recent events occurred, are in
tolerant of all innovations or progresS.
The reigning shah, although theoretically
absolute, in practice, owing to the fact
hat his dynasty is of Turkish origin, and
that he is unable to trace his descent even
hctitiOusly to the Prophet ALI the source
OF spiritual prestige, is greatly hampered
by the authority of the mullahs, who
are opposed to the governmental tenden-
Cy to strengthen the lay court at the ex-
pense. of the spiritual and to take educa-
ton out Of the hands of the clergy. The
mullahs, Mr.. Olfereiff said further, are
strongly supported by the dervishes, who
are spreading a fanatiCal emnity iowa I'd
the dynasty throughout the country The
shah has been endeaYOrirg to weaken the
cervishes by imposing of passport reguIa-
tons, and at the same time is secretly
encouraging the mOderTiZed sect of Ba-
bideS, who are frrecOncilabie enemies of
the priesthood and opponents of pOlyg-
amy and other MOhammedan practices.
1t is Mr.. Olfereiffs impression that the
recently proclaimed house of justice"
will, like the state council, prove a flash
in the pan and infringe only temporarily
the sway Of the grand Vizer.

In answer to your question How cold

ing:
The Century Dictionary, in quoting E.

penetrating cold is felt when the Their
mometer Of Fahrenheit is below so de-

Therefore I take 90 degrees as the

In the contest for the S. reward for the
pollution Of the question How cold must
Il be to be twice as cold as 2 degrees

ton we must take it comparatively with
regard to the human body i. G., as the
temperature effects the human body,
whether cold or warm"
Slxty-etght degrees is considered tenn
perate to the human body; in fact, where
rooms are kept at a perfect temperature
not any too cold and not any too warm
the temperature Of 6S degrees is main
sained. Anything below s. degrees is con-
Fldefed cold In proportion TO the num-
Der of degrees below that point
Therefore my answer and solution to
the question is: Two degrees above zero

Summary of Rate Bill.

The following is a summary of the
Hepburn rate bill;
The bill, according to Mr.. Hepburn's
statement, in closing the debate on the
measure, was intended, and did, so far
as it could be made, he said, to comply
specifically with the recommendations
of President Roosevelt on the rate
question. 1t gives the interstate COM
11erce commission authority when d
rate has been complained of as 'un-
reasonable" by a shipper, to investi-
gate that rate, state whether or not it
is unreasonable. and if found to be
unreasonable, to name a rate which is
to be lust and reasonable and fairy
rernunerative. which is to be the max
imum rate to be charged.

Rate Can Be Set Aside.

This rate so fixed is to go into effect
thirty days after it is announced by
the commission, subject during that
time to be set aside or suspended by
the commission or by the courts.
After it has gone into effect it is to
remain the rate for three years. Dur
ing this time the opinion has been ex-
pressed by those who have participa-
ted in the debate that the rate may
also be reviewed by the courts. and if
found to be in conflict either with the
terms of the act or with the constitu-
ton, by being confscatory, can be set
aside by the courts.
Another important feature is the
definition of the words railroad" and
Transportation" in a manner to in
clude all auxiliary instrumentalities OF
the common carrier and to bring them
within the control of the commission.
This power to name a reasonable rate
and the inclusion Of the auxiliaries
within the jurisdiction of the commits
sion are said to be the new features
Ali other provisions are notifications
Of existing law. They include public
ity of railroad methods, which is to be
aided by prescribing a system of book
keeping and charging the commission
to seven members and increasing saIa-
ries Of members to $4,000 a year.

I would say: In physics we find that
