PARIS, May ia case of great in
terest to photographers and popular
actresses came before the courts. In
1902 Nine. Nadille de Button, the
statuary artist, was photographed In
the costume of the Queen of Saba, the
photographer executing his work at
reduced price.
In the following year Nine. de Buff
fon was greatly surprised to find that
her photograph figured on postcards,
with her name at the foot. She COM
planned to the photographers, who re-
piled that as she had paid an artists S
price she had been treated as an artistic,
and that in virtue of this reduced price
theless, he added that he would give
the necessary Instructions for the sale
of postcards bearing the photograph
in question to cease At the end of sew
eral months, however Mime. de Button
saw that the photograph was still on
sale. and she took action against the
photographer.
The court found that the photograph
er could not make use of the photo
graph without the authority of the per-
son concerned. Nine. de Button, the
Judgment ran, went to the photograph
er's of her own accord, and though she
posed at a reduced price, she had not
given her permission for her likeness
as Queen of Saba to be reproduced. The
court granted an injunction against the
sale of the photograph and ordered the
photographer to pay Nine. de Button
500 francs damages.

LONDON, May 12.-The heaviest list
Of actions which the high court of JUS
tice ever had to contend with was sub
mitted this week when the law courts
reopened after the Easter vacation, the
feature being an increase in libel and
slander actions, breach of promise of
marriage, and an enormous number Of
cases of divorce. OF libels there were
twenty-seven against newspapers. The
divorces numbered 236.
An interesting illustration of how the
English law regarding divorce differs
from the American was shown by what
is considered here an important ruling
by Justice Bargrave Deane. 1t was a
case in which an American woman, a
Mrs. Nixon, applied for a divorce on
grounds of misconduct, and one act
of violence on the part of her husband.
Very thin" were the words with
which the justice characterized the evil
dence in support Of the wifes petition.
1T seems to be taken for granted that
together with one act OF
cruelty is sufficient warrant for the
court granting a decree nisi for di-
vorce. Such a procedule would open the
door to people trumping UP cases. l
wish to point out that an isolated act
of cruelty on the part of the husband is
not sufficient. The court requires at
least two corroborated acts of cruelty,
as we'll as misconduct before granting
a decree nisi against the husband.
Therefore, / give the public warning
of the fact that isolated acts of cruelty
will not be accepted in the future"
Mrs. Nixon, however, was granted q
decree nisi with costs and custody of
the one child of the marriage.

On Theory That Spontaneous" Cures

NAPLES, May 12.-Dr. G.. Anguilli
has submitted to the medical associa-
tion of Naples an elaborate report upon
the successful method adopted by him
in treating tuberculosis by the admin
istration of salts of calcium or lime.
Strict examination of certain of Dr.
Anguili's patients by independent exA
perts has impressed the medical fac
ulty at Naples with the great benefit
from DIR. Anguilli's method. When
patient is said to have been cured by
some Spontaneous means it does not
mean that the diseased lung has been
replaced by healthy tissue, but that
the damaged area has been impregna-
ted with lime salts. The germs of the
tubercle, hitherto acting in an open
and unrestricted field, find a barrier
raised against their onslaughts. 1t is
a matter of common knowledge that
phthisical patients do not possess in
their blood the normal quantity of
salts, especially of calcium, and as it
is the deposition of these salts in dis
eased glands or lung tissue which eff
feet the so-called spontaneous cure,
DR.. Anguilli argues that providing the
phthisical patient be supplied with a
sufficient quantity of calcium from
outside sources he should be able to
build up his lungs and else where. bar
rlers impregnable against the on
slaughts of the tubercle bacillus. With
this in his mind, the Italian doctor
found willing patients who We're only
too glad to submit themselves to his
treatment. treatment which prac-
tlcally consists in injecting into the
patients blood certain quantities Of
chloride of calcium once day for
three months.
The treatment is based on rational
and scientific principles, for, as already
stated, II is the principle on which ma
ture depends in those cases where the
patient is supposed to have been

Women should influence those with

Hotel managers and West End trades

Take, for instnces the Daily Express
"The keynote of this campaign of
extravaganza was struck this week by
Rodman Wanamaker from Philadel-
phia, who walked into the Carlton and
said he would just take an entire floor
for himself and family"
This being such an apparently
strange proceeding, I inquired at the
Carlton, to find the statement all rub
bish Mr.. Wanamaker has not ar
rived yet and the Carlton manager
would not rent whole floor to the
greatest millionaire alive.
Then the Express proceeds: More
money will be spent by Americans in
London than ever before. They are
coming prepared to scatter their dol
lars with a reckless hand, for the last
year has been one of unexampled pros
perity in the United States and many
men have jumped from comparative
poverty into affluence. The first am
bition of these people is to go abroad,
and London is their first stopping
place.
Picture dealers, curio dealers and
booksellers see a prosperous season
ahead, the old-furniture industry is
already booming and it is believed that
this years booming of antique chip
pendale chairs for American export
will break all records at the Midland
factories.
Fashionable millinery and dressmak-
ing establishments are already execut-
ing orders for American millionairesses,
who are buying more in London and
less in Paris every year.
But there is one real warming
which may be given to the young
American in particular, against a GER
tain type of Britisher whom he may
encounter, for many times American
have been victims of confidence

are conducting a really active and ag-

Joseph Smith found the gospel writ
ten i'm Egyptian characters and letters
of gold on tablets in the state of New
York" said a missionary at a mass
meeting held in connection with the
semi-annual conference OF the London
society in Finsbury town hall "There
is evidence that the lost ten tribes Of
Israel went to America and that the
red Indians are descended from Israel
itish stock"
Elder Miles j. Jones presided over
the meetings and the principal speaker
was President Heber J. Grant of Utah,
who was regarded with reverence on
account of his personal acquaintance
with the prophet"
A challenge was thrown by one of
the American elders: IT challenge the
world for proof that Joseph Smith waA
not a prophet and that Mormonlsm is
not true" he said. "I will give any
one 800 who will prove those things"
There were no takers. but one woman
created a diversion by boldly remark
ing that the Latter Day Saints were
false prophets.
She was crushed by the speakers,
who one after another volubly asserted
the divinity of Joseph Smith and the
truth of the gospel of the Book of
Mormon. There was little excite
ment for time, but it soon died away
the interrupter contenting herself with
making the one protest.
The London Mormons claim that they
are not polygamists. They claim that
since 1900 no member of the sect has
married more than one wife, and this
has, so the missionaries assert, con-
duced to the rapid spread of their doc
trine. They claim 100000 converts in

STRASBURG, May 12.-According to
Ut. Bscherich, a learned entomologist
or Strasburg university, Solomon erred
IN commencing the ant TO the slueRard
as a shining example of wisdom and
industry. The German savant thinks
solomon would have better justified his
claim to be regarded as the wisest man
mat ever lived had he extolled the ant
as an exponent of cleanliness. He has
just published the results of an ex-
haustive study of these wonderful in
ssects. He combats the views of those
investigators who assign to them al
most human Intelligence. But az ex-
ponents of that virtue which stands
next to godliness, he maintains that
ants stand pre-eminent, and IL the hu-
man race would pattern after them IN
this respect half the diseases on which
doctors thrive would vanish.
Abhor Dirt in Any Form
Ants, he declares, abhor dirt in anv
form about their persons. Nature has
provided them with implements that
serve the same purpose as combs and
brushes in the hands of civilized follt
and they make far more effective nse
OF them. They are never too blIsv To
clean themselves. No job is so imnort-
ant to the ant that he won't knock off
work TO clean himself. He does NOT
wait until his days labors are finished
to perform his ablutions. He is never
too tired to lend another ant a hand
or rather leg-to effect a thorough

caSlonally, for the professor asserts n
is mistake to suppose that ants are
eVerlastingly hunting UP Jobs; but he
won't put up with dirty neighbors.
Cleanliness Is the supreme law of the
community
But the professor rather detracts
from the credit one would otherwise be
dlsposed to give them for the practice
OF thls most exemplary virtue by tell
ins US that ants are driven to 1t by the
conditions of their existence.
Without the most scrupulous clean
l1ness," he says, they could not recog
nlze each other nor communicate any
thing. The cohesion of the Individual
with its fellows is maintained solely
through the medium of the sense of
smell. II the ant is covered with dust
the possibility Of it's being recognized

gree. The attennae, in particular must
always be kept clean, for it is only

1t is their highly developed sense OF
cleanliness, the professor says, which
also explains the ants funerals"
about which so much has been written.
Ants, it is well known, carry their dead
to definite burial places, where they
arrange them in most careful order.
The little creatures do not, however,
do this with the object of providing
their dead comrades with last rest
ing place, DR.. Escherich states, "they
merely obey the instinct of cleanliness,
which impels them to remove all
refuse from the nest and carry it
away to definite spot.''
