A British Blue Book recently issued

A British Blue Book recently issued
gives some interesting figures of the
expansion of the British Empire. In
1861 the total area of the empire was
reported as approximately $500, 900
square miles. No important additions
were made during the next 20 years,
but during the last two decades terri
torial acquisition has increased the to-
tai area to about H. 900, 900 square
miles, or nearly four times the area OF
the United States. This is more than
one-ffth of the land surface Of the
globe. During the same time (1861-
1901 the population of Great Britain
and it's colonies, dependencies and pro-
tectorates has increased from about
259, 900, 900 to about 397,0 00, 900. The
total commerce, import and export, of
all these people amounts to about ST.
500, 900, 900 annually. The total an
nual expenditure for maintenance ex-
seeds 81, 600, 0OO, 900 and the debts
amount to more t,.au 81, -e9,099,0o0.

The automobile is rapidly becoming
a business necessity in many fields,
but one would scarcely expect to find
it associated in this way with the tele-
phone. This seems to be the case,
however. The general manager of a
telephone company at Nashville.
Tenn, reports that the company now
owns fourteen automobiles Of the rum
about type, which are used In place
of the old h~orse-drawn repair wagons.
Although each machine costs about
twice as much as a horse and buggy,
it is really considerably cheaper In
the end, because it does three times
the work of it's four-legged predeces-
sor. A distant break whose repair
was formerly an all days job is now a
matter of but an hour or two. The re-
suit is that the same force OF men
can maintain the lines owe a much
larger territory.

Got Down the Big Bed.

For the first time in its history the
adjustable bed which has been stored
on the eleventh floor of the Planters
Hotel for many years was pressed
into service Monday night to accom-
modate Sybrant Wesselius, a former
railroad commissioner of Michigan,
who is shortly below seven feet in
height, and weighs more than 300
pounds.
When he registered Monday after
noon Nj. Wesselius informed the clerk
that he would require an unusually
large bed. There was a hurry call for
the ~janitor, and he was despatched to
the garnet. The sleeping apparatus
was stretched to the limit. The head
of the bed touched the north wall OF
the room and the foot pressed against
the washstand on the opposite side.
Stretched out for sleeping, Mr.. Wes-
selius covered easily three-fourths of
the couch.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The worlds production OF gold In
1906 was only $202, PSI, 600. In the
next three years it increased fifty per-
cent to $3O6, 724,1OO. In 1904 it was
$346, 1872, 200, and it has been steadily
increasing ever since. The increase
has been especially rapid in the Unit
ed States. The product Of our gold
mines exceed $50, O0o. 1000 a year. We
keep almost all of it at home-in the
six years ending with 1905 we had net
gold experts Of only $10,S33,510 to de-
duct from a total domestic product OF
nearly half a billion dollars. In this
time we used only about LOO, 1000, 600
worth of gold in the arts, so that we
had almost $500. oOO, 900 to add to our

BURIED AVENUE OF sPHINxEs'
Sample of Egypt's Inexhaustible
Mine of Relics.

Writing concerning the archaeology
cal treasures unearthed at Luxor, a
correspondent of the Westminster
Gazette remarks that only a visit to
the site of the excavations can make
n realize that the banks of the Nile
are filled with a practically 1nex
haustible supply of buried relics. He
continues:
ut is known, for instance, that an
avenue of sphinxes join the temples
of Luxor and Karnak. They are, for
the most part, still underground, and
yet no effort is being made to unearth
them. For one thing, the task would
involve a heavy outlay of money be-
fore even a clod of earth vas remov.
ed, for one or two villages are settled
on the site. How the sand, dust and
debris can have accumulated in such
quantities as to make it possible for
people to settle on the top surpasses
mans understanding. Even as | sit
writing these lines l see before me
the ruins of LUXOR Temple, which are
quite go feet high, and yet a whole
village was situated on the very toy
of the ruins, and even a few feet
above them, when the work of exca'
walton was started; as a matter OF
fact, our dragoman was born in one
of these houses. 1t would be incred'
ible. if, at the rear. of the temple.
there were not some houses on a level
with the top of the columns.

RADIuM IN MEDICINE.
Useful In Therapeutics, But Not az
Much as Asserted.


wild claims have been made re-
garding the efficacy of radium eman-
atoms as a cureaa1l in Therapeutics,
and on the other hand the reaction
against its use has been from time to
time equally violent. The contribu-
ton of DIR. Myron Metzenbaum to the
Medical Record regarding the known
medical value of radium Is therefore
timely and of Importance to those In
terested in it's use. The writer bases
his conclusions upon IN exhaustive
survey of medical literature on the
subject and two years clinical ex-
perience with the substance, and Of
fers the following conclusions:
THAT lupus responds promptly to
the action of radium, and that this
result is obtained as readily as with
the Finsen light or the X-rays, and
that these results re- permanent.
That small ~affectations of the 'epithe-
lium, without glandular involvement,
heal rapidly under the action of the
radium rays, provided the tubes OF
radium can be brought into intimate
contact or close proximity to the dis
eased area. Large epitheliomatous
areas of the mucous membranes may
not be influenced to any marked de-
gree, probably because in large areas
the disease is not only superficial,
but the deeper tissues are involved
as we'll. Epitheliomata on the skin
respond far more rapidly than those
of the mucous membranes; this is
probably because the skin is kept dry
and is not irritated by moisture or
friction of the parts. The healing OF
epitheliomata under the action of the
radium ray seems to be permanent.
The rodent ulcers about the face I'M
head respond better to the action OF
radium than to any known agent ex-
cepting the X-rays, and the results
are better than those usually OBJ
tanned by surgical interference. Deep
seated, malignant growths seem be-
yond the influence of the radium rays,
and even when an incision is made
into the growth and the tube OF
radium is inserted into it's interior
Gas in the case of the late President
Harper, there is then only a histo-
logical change in that part OF the
growth surrounding the tube OF a d
UNI, as is demonstrated by a micro
scopical study of the tissue. Even il
the radium rays exerted any beneficial
influence on truly malignant, deep
seated growths, the fact could not be
used to any great advantage in these
cases, for the local action would be
so pronounced as to an ulcer
alton of the skin before it could infiu-
ence the growth beneath.
"In certain cases of total blindness,
possibly where some of the fibres of
the optic nerve still remain intact, a
sensation of light may be noted when
a tube of radium of high activity is
placed in front of the eye or against
the temporal region. But thus far
radium has given no beneficial results
in the treatment of blindness. When
tubes of radium are applied to old
scars resulting from healed lupoid
ulcers, it causes them to lose their
rough and fibrous appearance and
renders the area quite smooth and
pliable."

VEGETARIAN ATHLETES.
In England They are Smashing Rec
ords Made by Meat Eaters.

III EISiouO tHSy oiS 0tio''S ''SS'
ords Made by Meat Eaters.
It would almost seem that athletic
records are set up by meat eaters in
order that they may be knocked down
by vegetarians, says the London Daily
News.
Last year George Allen Knocked
seven days off the walking record
from Lands End to John o'Groats,
and now G.. A. Obey has lowered the
unpaced cycling record over the same
route by eleven hours, which is a feat
that is likely to remain unequalled
for some time to come.
Strict training is indispensable to
those severe athletic feats, and a most
important part of that training de-
ponds upon diet. 1t is not true that
diet is everything, but it is SO much
that these repeated victories by vege
tarians are the best advertisements
that cause has.
The grand challenge has not yet
been won by a vegetarian crew, o.
even the diamonds by a graminivorous
sculler, but it certainly seems that the
physically active man whose ind1ges-
ton is equal to it keeps himself in
best condition without tasting meat.
How much intellectual vegetarians
like George Bernard Shaw owe to the
things they eat or do not eat is a
question that will take longer to
thresh out. At any rate, the day has
gone by when vegetarianism was
looked upon as a mild but fairly GER
tain form of suicide.

The vast fortunes of the few are not
always harmful to the masses OF the
people observes the Florida Times
Union. It all depends on how they are
used. A law that would result in the
breaking up of large fortunes would
not appreciably benefit the millions
who would get nothing from them In
either event. What matters it to the
public whether a millionaire leaves all
his fortune to one son or divides 1t be-
tween five. And how does the over
capitalization of a corporation hurt a
man who has no stock in it?
