tEons that they might be transferred from one patient to another, then we might arrive at a period when ordi- nary drugs would scarcely ever be utilized at all except for the allevia- ton of symptoms. The real work of curing lwoaid as at presept, be car ried out by nature. which would be so much under control that diseases now thought. to be unpreyentable and lineurable would be prevented and cured.~ ~t9. .+fAss Although automobile racing has only just been established as regu- lar sport in England at the Brock lands permaneRt racing track, ques- tionable practices have already been discovered in the. running of the racing machines,
 Charles Jarrott, the professional lmetorist who married the divorced wife of the Earl of iRosslyn. writes to the papers oEnpiaining that automo- piles competing in the BEookland races are "doped" with oxygen to en- able them to make spurts. ssz. Certain cars competing at the opening meeting held at Brookland,' he says. "were fitted with oxygen cyl finders with special apparatus ar ranged so as to enable the driver to use the oxygen during the race at will. zr s. Many people expressed surprise at some of the cars being able to spurt
 for shorl distance at very greatly increased speed. If certain eompet' itors have such a poor idea of what
 sport is and how the game has to be played. then those in authority should teach them. Before any more race meetings are held, the Royal Auto
 mobile Club should absolutely pro i hSbit the use of oxygen, etc, on any car run in any event held under their ! rules. If race horses are not al lowed tC be doped, why should motor i cars"
 That the piano will soon be obso' Iete as handpiayed instrument, Is
 the opinion of Sir ElgaF. the greatest living English composer.
 At Birmingham University, where Elgar is professor of Music, he was

 ical players are multiplying in such | vast numbers that the human piano I forte player will disappear.
 Saint Helena, the historic island 1T the Atlantic where Napoleon died i prisoner is facing hard times. Since lthe British garrison was recently withdrawn, the inhabitants have beer
 without industry, and are practically
 in the position of the traditional vii llagers who lived by taking in eacf T others washing.
 ! In his annual report the Governor
 of St. Helena shows that the island! lrevenue has decreased nearly one fifth in the last year. He says the is
 landers are themselves partly tc blame, as they have been content t( Hive entirely upon what they could
 make out of the garrison and ship iping. Now the soldiers have gone and fewer vessels call at the island flor supplies, because the St. Helena farmers charged such eXorbitanl Iprices.
 The island touched the high-watel
 mark of prosperity during the Boel
 war, when General Cronje ana seF erai hundred Boer prisoners guarded by a strong British garrison, were lquaTtered there.
