Air Cures Meningitis.

Salt Lake City, Feb. 27-That
ordinary air is an effective RENE
DIV for cerebro-spinal meningitis
is the substance of a statement
made before the Salt Lake City
County MedicalSociety yesterday
at meeting called to discuss the
scourage which has ragged here
since the beginning og the year.
The treatment has been sue
cessfully EN- ployed by DR.. Harry
N. Mayo in several cases. 1t is
based on the knowledge that oxy'
gen is fatal to the bacteria which
cause meningitis. The activity OF
the bacteria is confined to the
spinal column. DR.. Mayo, as soon
as possible after diagnosis, in
serts a hypodermic needle into
the lumbar region of the spinal
cavity at the top of the ilium and
extracts ten cubic centimetres
of the cerebral fluid. He then in
iects three-fourths of a grain OF
cocaine to relieve the pain. The
injection of three cubic centime
tres of air completes the treat
ment,

The African Blue Lily.

The African blue lily (Agapathus
umbellatis) ordinarily blooms in
summer, but can be had in flower at
almost any time. 1t has many long,
narrow, dark green leaves, from
which rises a stem two or three feet
high, bearing a large cluster of
very handsome blue flowers. The
easiest way to handle it is to grow
it in pots or tubs which are stored
in a light cellar or other dry place
during the winter, enough water be-
ing given to prevent the leaves from
falling; then put it outdoors during
the summer and let it make its
growth. Unlike the amaryllis it
flowers with its leaves, which adds
to its beauty. It is often forced in
the early sprinr. The towering

Care of Young Chickens.

Take care of your young chickens.
They should not be let out Of their
coops too early in the morning, or
when the dew is on the ground; still
less should they be suffered to range
over the wet grass, which is a COM
mon cause of disease and deatn.
They should also be guarded against
sudden unfavorable changes OF Wea-
ther, more particularly if attended
with rain. Nearly all the diseases OF
gallinaceous fowls arise from cold
moisture. The period at which chicks
are left to shift for themselves de-
pends upon the disposition OF the
hen. Some will continue their atten-
tions to their chickens till they are
nearly full-grown, while others Will
cast them off much earlier. In the
latter case an eye should be kept up
on them for a few days, for chickens
in this half-grown state are much
more liable to disease than when they
were apparently tender little weak
lingS.

The Fo6t of a Horse.

The foot of a horse is one of thu
most ingenious and unexampled
pieces of mechanism in animal struc-
ture. The hoof contains a series of
verticles and thin laminae of horn,
amounting to about 500, and forming
a complete lining to it. In this are
fitted as many laminae belonging to
the cofin-bone, while both sets are
elastic and adherent. The edge of
quire of paper, inserted Leaf by leaf
into another, will convey a sufficient
idea of the arrangement. Thus the
weight. of the animal is supported By
as many elastic springs as there are
laminae in all the feet, amounting TO
about 1000, distributed in the most
secure manner, since every spring is
acted on in an oblique direction.

Progress on Panama Canal Too Swift

Progress on Panama Canal Too swift
for Appropriation.
A Washington dispatch says: Con-
ditions on the Panama canal have
reached a state of gravity due to the
fact that construction work is develop
ing faster than was contemplated when
estimates for expenditures during the
fiscal year 1908 were made nearly a
year ago.
The estimate is made that about SS,-
900 900 in excess of the appropriations
could be used to advantage in pushing
forward the work during the present
year, and Colonel GoethalS, the engi-
neer in charge, thinks it would be in
the interest of true economy to pro-
ceed along this basis, and ask con-
gress at its next session tC make good
the deficiency as the argument is made
that with the present organization and
progress the waterway can be complet-
ed more rapidly than by restraining ex-
penditures within the appropriations
now available.

How to Detect Swarming.

The first indication of Swarming IS
the laying of eggs in the drone comb.
While the presence of eggs in the
drome-cells is not sure sign that a
swarm will issue, yet as far as have
observed swarms never do issue with
out eggs being laid therein. If the
weather is propitious the next step is
the building of Queen-cells, soon after
which the queen deposits eggs in
them. In three days these eggs hatch
into larvae and these larvae are fed
an abundance of food by the nurse
bees for six days, when the cells con-
tanning the embryo queens are sealed
over.
If no bad weather intervenes the
swarm issues the next day, the old
queen going with the swarm. Bear in
mind that this is the rule with the
black or German bees and generally
with other races; still, the Italians
often swarm when the eggs are first
laid in the queen-cells and some with
out the least preparation except
6rones in time when swarming runs
high in an apiary. I find, as rule,
that the first queen emerges from her
cell from six to seven days after the
swarm issues. If more swarms are
allowed, they come forth two days
later, or from the eighth to ninth
day after the first and never later
than the sixteenth day.
! AS soon as it is decided that no
more swarms shall issue, all queens
in the cells are destroyed, when in
from five to nine days the young
queen goes out to be fertilized, two
days after which she commences to
lay. If the apiarists stops all after
.swarming by the cutting Of the queen
cells, or by other means that keeps
all of the bees in the old hive to-
gether after the first issue, find that
the young queen is much slower in
going out on her wedding trip and
often does not commence to lay till
from the twelfth to the sixteenth
day.
Taking one season with another
the bulk of surplus honey is gathered
by the first or prime-swarm. This
being true, it is best to allow only
one swarm to issue from each hive
To prevent after swarms, place the
newly hived swarm on it's original
stand and move the hive from which
the swarm has issued to new loca-
t!on. 1t is from this old hive, of
course, that after-swarms may be e1-
pected to issue.
About the time the queen cells are
to hatch affix an entrance guard Of
perforated zinc to the hive. After a
few days several dead queens will be
found at the hive entrance. Now re-
move the entrance guard and YOU

Improving the Well.

Those who remember how pure
the water used to taste when it was
drawn up from the old open stone
walled well will welcome any plan
of improving our present wells. The
sweet, satisfying taste which it pos
sessed is not now very characteristic
of much of the farm well water. The
fact is that people, as rule, are very
careless nowadays about the source
of drinking water. Wooden curbing,
absolutely no ventilation in many
cases and poor soils for the purifica-
tion Of water have brought about the
change. A farmer who believes that

PICTURES OF SLEUTHS.
Criminals Who Snapshot Detectives
-.1- Uses of the Photographs.

I~1 Uses Of the Photographs.
Have you ever noticed-to use an
Irishism-that you hardly ever no.
tice the portraits of Scotland Yard
detectives in the illustrated papers
until they are either retired or are
just about to retire?
Did you, for instance, know how
Detective Inspector Walsh looked
prior to his quitting his service the
other day, or were you familiar with
Chief Inspector Arrows features un-
til he accepted, a month or two ago,
the post of chief Of police at BARGE
Iona?
If you think carefully over these
two questions you will have to con-
fess to yourself that you are unable
to answer either of them in the af-
firmative, the reason being that nei-
ther of the officers mentioned was
ever previously photographed for
publication. This is one of the many
unwritten laws of Scotland Yard.
Nevertheless there is hardly de-
tective in London who has not been
photographed over and over again,
for the simple reason that there is in
existence a class Of men who make
speciality of snapshotting police Of
ficers, with a view to selling the por-
traits so obtained to professional
criminals.
Such photographs are, for obvious
reasons, greatly sought for. Certain
detectives make a specially of GER
tain lines of crime. One, for exam
pie, deals with coiners, another with
anarchists and undesirable aliens
generally, and so on. All really high
class criminals also specialize in
crime. There you have the thing in
a nutshell. For a professional coin
er to be familiar with the features
of the man who is on the lookout for
him is, from his point Of view, emi-
neatly desirable.
And he usually is familiar with
them, thanks to the snapshotters,
themselves for the most part crinl-
inals or ex-criminals. In fact, one
notorious counterfeiter arrested the
other day by a clever ruse was found
to be in possession not only OF the
photographs Of the men who arrested
him, but of carefully tabulated writ

OF TAFT
HeWs to the Line as Laid
Out b. Roosevelt.
MAKES KEYNOTE SPEECH
Addresses Ohio Republicans, as Cand.
date for Presidency, and Says
Teddy's Views Must Be Car
ried Out by His Successor.

Secretary of War William H. Taft
reached Columbus, Ohio, Monday, on
his g!obe-circling itinerary, and deliv-
cred before the Buckeye Republican
Club, Monday night, an address, which
was a lengthy and comprehensive
statement of his position as a candi-
date for the republican presidential
nomination.
The speech was largely defense Of
the policies of President Roosevelt,
which Secretary Taft expects, if elect
cd, to carry forward. In addressing his
fellow citizens of Ohio and the rapub.
icans of the whole country, he
made it plain that he was heart and
soul with the president in his support
of the measures which have come to
be known as the Roosevelt policies"
While insisting that these measures
had already been productive OF much
good to the country, he pointed out
how existing statutes could be amend
ed in order to further perfect them
and make them more effective.
Following is an outline of Taft's
views as SGT forth in his address:
think the imprisonment of one or
two managers of unlawful trusts
would have a most healthy effect
throughout the country.
The states can best remsdy the dan
gers of too great accumulation OF
wealth in one hand by controlling the
descent and devolution of property,
and they ought to do so.
II times of great national need, an
income tax would be of great assist.
ance in furnishing means to carry on
the government.
The evil of eliminating COMPETITION
ought to be restrained by making it
unlawful for an interstate railway to
acquire stock in g. competing line.
An interstate read should not be per.
mitted to issue stock or bonds . .
except after a certificate by the COM
mission that the securities are issued
with the approval of the commission
for a legitimate railroad purpose.
Efficient regulation is the very anti
dote and preventative of socialism and
government ownership.
The time is near at hand for an
amendment to the antitrust law
making clear the distinction between
lawful agreements reasonably restrain
ing trade and these which are PERM
cious in their effect.
Appeals to judicial remedies (by rail-
roads, should be limited in such way
that parties will not use them merely
to delay and so clog eficient and just
executive or legislative action.
Tariff revision is to be by the re-
publican party and is not to be de-
parture from the protective principle,
but in conformity to it.
It would be not only unWise, but un-
safe for the party to fail in its next
national platform to pledge itself to
a revision of the tariff as soon after
the next presidential electioa as pos
sible.

TO BAR THE BOYCOTT.
Manufacturers Appeal to Federal Court
for Permanent Injunction Against
Federation of Labor.

\ significant legal action was be.
gun in the supreme court of the Dis
trict of Columbia Monday by James

Mr.. Van Cleave institutes the suit
in his individual capacity as head Of
a large manufacturing company in st.
Louis, where products are alleged to
have been declared unfair by the
labor unions, but the significance of
the action lies in its being a test case
wherein Mr.. Van Cleave. as hsad of
the manufacturers association, seeks
to permanently enjoin organized labor
from using the unfair" or eve don't

Delegates from various manufacture
ing and employers associations met in
New York Monday and discussed the
proposition to form a national federa-
ton which shall have for its purpose
the furtherance of peace in the indus
trial world by combining the efforts of
ali the employing interests. The meet
ing, which was held behind closed
dcrs at the Waldorf-Astoria, was pres.
sided over by James W. Van Cleave,
Of st. Louis, president of the Nation
al Association of Manufacturers.
After a general discussion, it was
decided to adjourn in order to permit
the delegates to return to the:! homes
and consult with the organizations
which they represen, regarding the
projected national federation.
The meeting OF Monday was called
by the National Association of Man
ufacturers, which met in New York
last May. Mr. Van Cleave said the
meeting was called to form an Or
ganization which would endeavor to
institute an educational campaign
which should promote industrial peace
and mutual good will between employ
ees and employer
He said that the organization did
not purpose to crush labor unions. Of
ficers of the National Association of
Manufacturers hope to induce the new
federation to- incorporate the platform
of the manufacturers association,
which, in part, stands for the open
shop, no limitation of output, no boy
colt, no sympathetic strikes and no
sacrifice of the independent working
man to union labor.
