NEW IDEA OF CONSUMPTION.

London Doctor Says the Disease IL
Primarily Derived From Cattle.
A London physician, DR.. w. Picket
Turner, who has made a f1rst-hand
study of the disease for many years,
advances the theory that the medical
world Is attacking the problem Of con-
sumption by an utterly false route.
His view, briefly stated, is that tub
erculosis Is an animal disease primar-
lily derived, in all cases, from cattle.
1t belongs, he says, to the mycotic
group Of diseases, diseases in which
the original source of infection is a
plant Bovine cattle derive tubercu.
losis from timothy and other allied
grasses by natural affinity.
Man acquires the disease by inges
ton or incubation, never by inhala'
ton. 1t Is not hereditary; neither IL
there any predisposltion to 1t in the
individual. The bacillus in a state Of
nature is saprophyte, feeding on decay
of the vegetable world. But the bacil
lus becomes athogenic-capable Of
causing disease-in cattle when they
are deprived Of actinism or the prop
erty of the chemical rays in sunlight
1t would, If all this be true, becom,
reasonable to assume that by restoring
actinism to cattle the bacillus woult
again become a saprohpyte, in whicl
case consumption would be extirpated

SPANISH WEDDING DANCE.

Music and Attendants-The Dress or
Women and Men.
The wedding dance was being held
in long, narrow building near foun-
tain. and we entered on a smooth earth
floor; seats were ranged about the sides
of the whitewashed room, and the low
rafters were draped and festooned with
fancy wall paper with gold scrolls IN 1t.
The music was furnished by piano
organ at one end Of the long room,
turned In rotation by a number OF
boys In their clean, blue blouses and
brown corduroy breeches, who felt
their Importance, and at the other end
Of the room a table was spread with
cakes and bread and wine concoction
very sweet and pleasant, but seductive,
The women, some bringing their
babies, were a pleasant set, but not
beautiful, although few, with their
large dark eyes, came very near to It.
They did not wear the gay costumes
Of my Imagination, but their dresses
showed great care and conscientious
patching. A gay handkerchief was
often folded around the neck and
across the breast and large earrings
and big breastpins were the vogue even
among the young women.
The men wore broad-brimmed black
felt hats and clean blue blouses, cor
duroy trousers. either light tan or
brown, and the long red or black sash
belt called "faja," wound many times
about the waist, the folds serving as.
pockets for cigarettes, tobacco pouch
and the vlllainous knife that everyone
carries.
The dances were "round," inter-
spersed with square dance, where
four people comprised set-a sort Of
fandango. with lots Of stamping and
attempts at 1.-THE, serpentine motions,
with the hands raised above the head.
There was a very old man who danced

Because during heavy gales water
washes over decks in a clean sweep,
the portfolios Of the berth deck and
cabins which are below decks are never

Sometimes the rolling Of the ship is
such as to render seasick even those
tried old lightship salts, many Of whom
have spent years whaling and grown
accustomed to the "crow's nest" a

OF all the perils that overhang the
Nantucket Shoals lightship's crew,
however, the direst is that of acting
as life savers in a case where a vessel
has gone ON the shoals or foundered
Ia the sea within sight. But it's a
peril which these brave seamen never
finch from.
The lives Of these men aboard this
particular lightship are considered by

Uncle Sam to be of such Importance
that the crew Is not obliged to leave
the vessel, even In order to save life,
but 1t has never happened that these
men have allowed shipwrecked sailor
or crew to go unaided.
Without the two great octagonal
copper framed lights, each weighing a
ton, which every night Of the year dur
ing fair weather and storms cast their
beacon-like rays from the masts of this
lightship for the benefit of the thous-
ands Of vessels sailing outside Nam
tucket Island, this part of the coast
would be avoided as were the Scylla
and Charybdis of old.
As 1t Is, 500 vessels have been
wrecked and lost around Nantucket,
and 1t Is only the courage and con,
stancy Of these men aboard the lonely
little midocean monitor that has kept
the total from mounting up far into
the thousands.

andt days the bell which was used
aboard the old ship there was kept
ringing at two-minute intervals, with
the result that when the fog had lifted
and the noise ceased, the men were
unable to sleep for the first night on
account of the unaccustomed silence.
But there is still another danger be-
sides that of being run down. When
the winter storms Of the Atlantic sweep
across the shoals, tossing the lightship
like a shuttiececk and burying her
athwartships, these men aboard, cling
ing in their hunks between decks or
standing watch through the bitter cold
hours Of the night in the lee of the
oak bulwarks, indifferently sheltered
from the Icy sleet and spray, know
not at what moment the great anchor
chain may part under the lunges Of
the rolling vessel and set them adrift
in the inky darkness in a battle for
life.
Tweny-four times the Nantucket
lightship has parted her chains, usually
In the heart of the bitterest winter
gales, and been swept to sea. Only a
year ago vessel and crew thus adrift
from moorings were given up for lost.
Once during the period of the old sail
ing lightship's maintenance the vessel
was fourteen days In picking her way
back to port after having been driven
far to sea.

MOST DANGEROUS LIGHTsHIP
STATION IN THE WORLD.
That Maintained By Uncle Sam ON
Nantucket, Mass, II Noted
Hardy Sailormen Who Constantly
Face Perils in Many Forms.

Probably upon no reef guard station
IN tAA world have the lives Of brave
and bold men been so often hazarded
as up on the Nantucket Shoals light
ship, which is located forty miles south
from Nantucket, Mass. More than half
q century has elapsed since the govern
ment first stationed lightship at this
dangerous and lonesome spot. Until
recently the lights6ip was a sail
equipped vessel, but now 1t Is steam
propelled; yet whether operated by
steam or sail the dangers and hard
ships of the men confined on 1t are
one and the same.
Forty miles out at sea, cooped In
the little shell that, day after day and
month after month, swings and tugs
at Its 7,OOO-pound anchor lying in 18
fathoms Of water, the life Of the Nan
tucket ligttship sailorman is one Of
almost complete isolation from the
first Of November until the opening Of
the spring months. During the Bit
teresr six months of the year there are
no reprieves or shore leave.
Sometimes for two months or more,
during the severest periods of the win
ter, these dozen men are without COM
munication with the shore save the
messages sent to them by wireless
telegraphy. Often for days their only
visible companion Is the great red
brown buoy swinging in the sea halt

weather breaks adrift from its moor.

these men is not lifted until a close
passing vessel or the infrequent ad
vent of the winter sunlight comes tc
chase away the monotony Of theil
existence.
But loneliness is only one Of the
hardships Of the men ON the Nantucket
Shoales lightship, though it Is the one
dreaded. There are the days wheE
the fog settles down over the isolated

THREATENS AN EXPOSURE
BURBANK ASSERTS
MANY ARMY OFFICERS LIVE

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. 13.-EX
Lieutenant Sidney S. Burbank was re,
leased from the federal penitentiary
here during the morning after serving
nearly fifteen months and started for
Indianapolis, where he will visit a
brother for few days.
Lieutenant Burbank comes of a mil
itary family, his father and grand
father both having served in the
United States army. His engagement
in 1908 to a prominent young society
woman of Leavenworth precipitated a
suit by his Filipino wife, Mrs. Concep-
cion Vaseuez Of Valladolid, Occidental
Negroes, who formally filed her claims
with the war department to prevent
the coming marriage of Lieutenant
Burbank. Two years ago Burbank re-

the Filipino woman filed an action
against him in the civil courts for
abandonment and non-support She
finally was granted separation, but
not divorce, and Burbank was or
dered to pay alimony for the support
of their child. Later Burbank was
tried by ccurtmartial and convicted of
embezzling company funds and of
other conduct unbecoming an officer
and a gentleman.
Lieutenant Burbank declined to
make known his plans. Some time
later he would, he declared, make a
statement regarding his case that
would create sensation in army cir
cles.
