Mayor Mccarthy makes emphatic pro-
test against indiscriminate use OF the
"ticklers' in connection with the ceie-
that the comfort OF visitors TO the city
during the festival should be conserved.
and protests particularly that scraping
confetti from the sidewalks and Throwing
II at others is annoying. The mayor says:
"Our Old Home Week celebration be-

ment OF the occasion was the indiscrim-
nate throwing OF confetti and the an
moving use OF that toy known as the
tickler. On Westminster street and Ex-

women throwing confetti and boys scrap
ing handfus Off the sidewalk and sprink-

"The celebration was designed to ad-
vertise the state as a model section or the

APPARATUS FOR BRINGING
THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE

An apparatus for producing artificial
whereby in cases of suspended anima-
ton the action OF the heart and lungs can
be renewed
Prof. George Poe, the inventor of the
apparatus, does not insist that with its
use life can be brought back, but claims,
according to the Scientific American,
that by artificial means applied through
the instrumentality OF the respirator per-
sons killed by asphyxiation, poison or
drowning can be resuscitated; that the
death OF persons under the Influence OF
anaesthetics while being operated upon
can be prevented; that its use will prevent
Infant asphyxia at birth; that drunken
person can be sobered In few minutes;
that persons electrocuted or hanged-in
the latter case where the neck has not
been broken be revived, and that the
freezing to death OF Arctic explorers can
be obviated. These results are accom-
plished by stimulating normal respiration
through artificial means.
A demonstration was made on rabbit.
Two grains OF morphine were Injected IN
TO the leg, after which four ounces OF
ether were administered. 1t was believed
by the experimenters that life was posi-
lively extinct as the application or every
known test failed 10 reveal any sign OF
life. In this condition the tubes OF the ap-
paratus were applied to the rabbits nos
trils, and on pumping out the poison with

bit. but lately pronounced dead was
breathing naturally, and within six min
utes it was running around the room. Inc
ether was entirely out OF the system, as
there was no indication of nausea.-Ex.

STRANGE WORDS
Of A BOSTON

Boston, July 3o-"If half the churches

be a blessing; it would force them TO
merger" said the Rev. DIT. Edward Ander-
son yesterday at Berkeley Temple In ar
guing for more union.
I'm suburb of Boston there are three
churches struggling for an existence In
poyerty. The sole difference in their
creeds Is whether in baptism one ought
to plunge one inch. ten inches. or ten
feet How ridiculous II Is to keep
separate over such a trdfie as that, when
union would bring them strength and
prosperity.
Boston Is witnessing merger In
population. Religions. too. must merge
In order that they may satisfy ALL
Mergers are essential also for unity IN
education Sunday schools should all
teach the same lessons and not differ

churches. should seek 10 teach truths

Before closing DR.. Anderson made
some observations on female education.
There is not now a college" he said,
that dares to close fits doors to women.
In the great University OF Chicago over
half the students are women The found
ing Of Mt Holyoke college has proved TO

INTERESTING PIGMIES
IN CENTRAL AFRICA

A race of pigmies who live in bam-
boo forest thousands OF feet above the
sea level is the latest discovery In Central
Africa.
DR.. A. r. r. wollaston has just re-
turned to England after penetrating to
one OF the most inaccessible and un-
known spots in the world. To the south
OF Lake Albert Edward is the Mfumbiro
volcanic region, a wild mountainous and
difficult country. with waterless stretches.
No Englishman has ever set foot there
before. and DR. Wollaston found travelling
very difficult. not only on account of the
physical obstacles, but also owing TO the
attitude OF the natives. There were nine
volcanoes. mostly extinct, altogether, the
highest being 1900 feet-
Near the top they are covered with
dense bamboo, which is supposed to be
inhabited by race of pigmies. who live
by raiding the villages on the lower
slopes. Although the expedition spent hve

occurring In one generation after the
other.
The cause Of the hair turning gray is
something that puzzles the doctors. The
color OF the hair is due to the deposit OF
pigment in the interior OF each hair and
grayness follows the loss OF this pig
ment. That is self-evident. but the pug
zle Is what causes the pigment 10 disap-
pear. Some have belief cd that IL is due
TO the drying OF the hair, which causes
shrinkage OF its hhres. and so knows the
entrance of air bubbles. the refraction OF
light from which then gives the white
appearance.
The proof which is adduced In support
Of this belief is that n n gray hair Is put
into the receiver OF an air pump and the
air is then exhausted the color OF the hair
may return more or less completely.
MetchnikofY. the famous bacteriologist.
says the cause OF grayness is the penetra-
ton into the hair OF wandering cells, re-

These cells. assisted by other cells tho
aggregation of which makes the hair,
seize upon the etanules OF pigment and
destroy them.
Nearly every one has read OF instances
Of the sudden bleaching OF the hair-even
in n single night-under the influence or

emotion. That such cases have occurred
Is undoubted, but the explanation by
either OF the theories above mentioned Is
There is no cure for gray hair so far as
