NEW IDEA OF CONSUMPTION.
London Doctor Says the Disease Is
Primarily Derived From Cattle.


Primarily Derived From Cattle.
A London physician, DR.. w. Picket
Turner, who has made first-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 tu-
berculosis is an animal disease prl-
marily derived, in all cases, from cat
tie. 1t belongs, he says, to the my
cotic group of diseases, diseases in
which the original source of infection
is a plant. Bovine cattle derive tuber-
culosis from timothy and other allied
grasses by natural affinity.
Man acquires the disease by inges-
ton or incubation, never by inhala-
ton. It is not hereditary; neither is
there any predisposition to it in the
individual. The bacillus in a state OF
nature is saprophyte, feeding on decay
of the vegetable world. But the bac-
illus becomes thogenic-capable of
causing disease-in cattle when they
are deprived of actinism or the proper
ty of the chemical rays in sunlight.
1t would, if all this be true, become
reasonable to assume that by restoring
actinism to cattle the bacillus would
again become saprOhpyte, in which
case consumption would be extirpated.

ON AN ARKANSAS RAILROAD.
Wreck, Though No Uncommon Thing,
Likely to Cause Enuineer Trouble,

Wreck, Though No Uncommon Thing,
Likely to Cause Engineer Trouble.
A Western railroad man tells of a
road in Arkansas built long ago. a road
that had all the weaknesses to which
neglected systems are exposed. The
ballast was thin, the grades heavy and
the ties rotten. Nearly all passengers
travelling by this road provided them
selves with accident policies, although
as matter of fact there was not much
danger as the trains were not given to
sprinting, and the regular accidents
used to occur without serious results.
Tfainmen had by long practice learned
when to jump, and the passengers by
following their example Jared just as
WELL
The fastest train went at the rate
when the wind was not unfavorable-
of ten miles an hour and SO was called
the Little Rock express.
One day the Little Rock express
Jumped the track and went tearing
into a cornfield. While the rest of
the trainmen were sitting in the shade
waiting for the wreck train the con-
ductor came up, saying to the engi-
neer:
Bill, 1 am afraid you're in for it
this time. miss my guess if you don't
get fired for this"
"Ah, g'wan!' exclaimed Bill, ut
wasn't my fault; it was the fault of
the rotten old road. Besides, we get
derailed on an average of three times
a week. The superintendent wouldn't
know what to think if we kept the
track for ten days running
That's all right, Bill" rejoined the
conductor, "but you're off the wrong
way So long as you keep on the right
of way it doesn't matter much, but we
have no business in this mans corn
field, and you know it."

Sandy and the Mare.

A Scottish paper tells a story of San
dy Nc, Forfarshire farmer who
had been spending an hour or two in
the evening with a friend couple of
miles away. 1t was a moonlight night
and Sandy. after partaking freely of
his friends hospitality. was riding
quietly home across the sheep pastures
OF his ''guid auld mare" when they
came to an open ditch, which his mare
refused to cross.
"Hoot ava, Maggie" said the rider.
''this Wilma dae. Ye maun jist gang
over"
He turned back about 100 yards,
wheeled round and gave the mare a
touch of his whip. On she went at a
brisk canter. but as they reached the
edge of the ditch she stopped dead and
shot Sandy clean over to the other
side.
Gathering himself up, Sandy looked
his mare straight in the face and said:
''Vera weel pitched indeed. ma lass.
But hoo are We goin' to get over yer
sell, eh?"

Death In a New Guise.

In little village on the Hungarian
frontier not far from Presburg a
peasant woman recently received 400
kronen $50 from her husband in
America. She promptly deposited it in
the local branch of the postoffice saw
ings bank and then the next day went
to withdraw the whole amount. The
bank official was somewhat surprised
and asked for an explanation, when
she said that Death had appeared to
her during the night and threatened to
take her away with him unless she had
the 400 kronen ready for him the next
night. The gendarmerie were communi-
Gated with, and when Death made his
promised appearance he was found to
be very much alive in the person of the
local judge. The woman's money,
adds our Vienna correspondent who
sends the story, is still in the bank,

A WATCH PROBLEM.
Telling the Time In the Dark With the
Hands Removed.

Some time ago a poor old peasant
who had invoked the kings wrath was
seized by the kings soldiers and placed
in dungeon, says the Scientific Ameri-
can. His majesty was present and had
the old man searched before being in
carcerated. All his personal property
consisted of cheap watch, small
penknife, a shilling in cash and a lead
pencil. The poor old man begged for
mercy, but his pleadings availed him
nothing. and he finally asked to be
granted the privilege of knowing the
length Of his sentence. In reply the
king took his knife and watch, which
lay on the table, and, after taking the
knife and prying the hands off the
watch, returned to him his watch, say
ing, when you have learned to tell
the time correctly by this watch in
your dungeon cell you will be liberat-
ed" The poor old man, knowing that
the king meant a life sentence, stag
gered into his cell and wept bitterly.
Nevertheless he was liberated in TWEEN
ty-four hours, having accomplished the
wonderful task of telling the correct
time in the dark with watch without
hands. How did he do it?
A watch derives its power of motion
from the recoil of the handspring. and
the recoil is governed by the balance
and lever For instance, il it takes
twenty-four full turns of the stem to
wind the watch and the watch runs
twenty-four hours when fully wound,
then for each turn of the stem it will
run one hour.
A more simple method is to hold the
stem firmly between the fingers and
turn the watch around In winding the
watch to run for one hour the ratchet
on the handspring will click, say, thirty
times, which proves that this watch
runs two minutes for each click of the
ratchet which Is attached to the main
spring. We will suppose it was II
o'clock noon when the watch was last
wound up and you now wish to know
the time. Beginning to wind 1T up,
you count the clicks and find that be-
fore it is again wound up fully the
ratchet clicks $50 times. BY dividing
this by thirty we get four and one
third, or four hours and twenty min
utes, which added to II o'clock makes
the hour APO p. IN.
While watches are not all exactly
alike, the principle is the same, and it
is simply case of mental arithmetic
in order to be able to tell the time.
But you must always remember the
time of the starting point or first wind
ing and after that the time at the
last winding.
The above was the method used by
the poor old peasant, whose life mostly
depended on his release and who was
rewarded by the king
with his liberty and life pension.

Final Set of Drawings.

In due course an excellent set OF

the bridge in it's completion, with a
sketch of the surroundings, and on
which sat two men. with their legs
hanging over the side, fishing. The
drawing was returned with the request
that the men be removed from the
bridge.
Upon receiving the paper the second
time the professor discovered that his
instructions had been carried out, but
that the two men were seated on the
bank of the stream, still in quest of
representatives of the fnny tribe.
Again was the paper returned. and

But you are no shepherd returned
the tax gatherer; you are a poet"
mo shepherd replied Goudeau.
