MANY CIGARETTES IMPORTED.

Made by Greeks of Greek Tobacco,
They Are Called Egyptian.
A controversy which has heen going
On i'll Europe. and especially IN Eng
land, as to the rival mecits Of Turk
ish aDd Egyptian cigarett IS seems like
y to be settled by a report o. a dis
Interested but observant American con-
SUI.
Though the United States is the
great cigarette-producing nation Of the
world, there are imported into this
country every year more than $1,000
00U worth of foreign-made cigarettes,
some Turkish and some Egyptian.
Turkey is a large tobacco-producing
country, yielding $4,000 tons of tobac-
So every year, and the 1'llks, it is
we'll known, are a nation of smokers.
The amount of tobacco raised In Egypt
Ia mconsiderable, and yet Egyptian
garettes are imported into this coun-
try in considerable amounts every
year.
The explanation of the natter, as
offered by the American consul in Ath-
ems. is simple. 1t seems that the Greek
tobacco crop last year was the largest
Greece ever harvested-ab,at 100000,
OCO rounds. A brand of Greek tobac
CO is used for Egyptian cigarettes.
Why, 1t Is asked, Egyptian? The
answer Is that Egyptian cigarettes are
made by Greeks because cigarette pa
per is too expensive in Greece, where
IL Is a government monopoly. 1 hus the
business has gone over to Egypt. The
most famous cigarette MAKERS Of Egyp
are Greeks.
4 very large business In cigarett
II ak,ng has been established in Alex

the Rockies.
Several surgeons of the marine hos
pital service claim to have practically
demonstrated as fact that the terri
bic spotted fever Of the Rocky Noun
tains is caused by the infections of
ticks, says the Washington Star. The
discovery, If further experiments show
1t to be positive, is most important
one, and the marine hospital service is
awaiting results with deep interest
The spotted fever is especially viru-
lent In the Montana mountains, al
though it is well known in many other
sections. The victims become fearfully
and wonderfully spotted during the
course of the disease, which is fatal
in large number of instances.
| There has been a widespread belief
for years that the fever was caused by
: the piroplasma carried by ticks, as the
fever always appeared during the tick
season. Physicians have disputed this
view, however.
In April last Surgeon General wy
man of the marine hospital service de-
tailed DR.. King and DR.. Ricketts, tc
conduct most careful examination
They have reported that their expert
ments indicate that the tick Is at the
bottom of the disease. In their report
they state that the fatality from the
disease was too great to justify expert
ments with human subjects and they
were compelled to resort to animals
keys were susceptible to the disease t.
direct incubation with the blood O
fever patients. The typically fatal dis
ease was frequently produced in ami
mails in this way.
To test the tick infection theory Dr.
W. w. King procured four ticks-on
male and three females-and sen
them to Washington. The male tic
} died In transit. The three ticks tina
were left alive were placed upon
guinea pig suffering with spotte,
fever. They remained until the ANNA
died, two days and half later. TIL
, ticks showed some enlargement. Min
days after removal from the guine
pig the. ticks were placed upon
healthy guinea pig One was kille,
by the pig, but the others remaine
until they dropped off in five days
Three days after this the guine
pig began to show symptoms Of fever
I all being Of the nature of spotte,
fever patient. The pig died. The pi
, was kept in a separate cage from othe
pigs. Another pig was inoculated fror
! the hearts blood Of the tick infecte
pig and sickened and died.

Defining the situation.

Henry B. Stanford, for several years
with Sir Henry Irving's company, tells
this good story of the famous actor
"Sir Henry's wit was of an almost Vol
tartan character. Once, while l was
rehearsing Faust with him at the Ly
ceum Theater, in London-we were do
casion to reprove an army of exuber
an: supers-he stopped the rehearsal
and all was silence. Then, in that quiet
grim way Of his, he said: Very charm
ing-but you must remember that you
are in hell--not picnicklng on Hamp
stead heath. '"-Rochester Herald.
