ably the origin Of cancer and other
rnaladies. He has found that It con-

Of which If taken internally may cause
death.
Flights of Bell Aeroplane.
Several trials Of the new tetrahedron
aeroplane have been conducted by r.
w. Baldwin at Hammondsport, N. z,
under the direction Of its inventor, DR..
Alexander Graham Bell On the first
day the airship travelled a distance of
275 feet in the air at an elevation OF
twelve feet in three seconds. The
White Wing. as the ship Is named, ap-
peared to be under perfect control and
could have gone farther. Next day.
however, the second of two short
flights ended in an accident. After
being second in the air Lieutenant
Selfridge, who was steering, lost con-
troll of the front plane, and the ship
plunged to the earth, breaking the
rudder wheel. During both Of these
ascents the rain was falling, but did
not interfere with the power Of the air
craft The motor used is the thirty
horsepower Curtiss eight cylinder v
type which was used in the Ormond
record auto races. The White Wing
is expected to make a long fight in
a few days.
The Caterpillar Automobile.
At Aldershot, the British artillery
school, a novel traction machine has
been tested with great success over
sandy or swamp ground. 1t is known
popularity as the caterpillar" from the
motion and appearance of the endless
chain belt surrounding what would or
dinarily be the front and rear wheels
Of an auto. These belts are studded
with broad interlocking feet on which
the weight of the engine rests with
slight penetration and with the utmost
friction. Thus it is able to climb
clay bank at an incline Of one in two,
an ice covered incline Of one in ten
and cross bog lands full of deep bitches.
Its manner Of crossing ditch is most
interesting. Instead of dipping into
the ditch the front end Of the machine
actually lifts itself up little until
above the other bank and then pro-
vides itself with rigid bridge on
which to cross over the gap.
The Seat of Life Located.
Popular attention Is just now for the
first time being directed to the monu-
mental work of Dr. Charles e. de M.
Sajous, who recently addressed joint
meeting Of the American Therapeutic
society and the American Pharmaceu-
ttcal association at Philadelphia on
1.-THE Auto-Protectfve Resources of the
Body-A New Foundation For Scien-
tifc Therapeutics" The researches of
DR.. Sajous for a period Of twenty
years have demonstrated that the
great or mobile" organs Of the human
body, such as the heart, lungs, liver,
ETC., are really subsidiary to the true
dominant organs-namely, the ductless
glands known as the adrenals, the
thyroid and the pituitary body. So SUI
premely important a part is played by
the secretions of these glands, and
the pituitary body at the
base Of the brain in the automatic re-
sistance to poisons in the blood, that
this body Is believed to be the real
seat of life in the animal organism.
The adrenal secretion sustains the
chief role in the distribution Of oxygen
This great work for the first time
makes an absolutely scientific system
Of treatment for disease possible and
makes certain various treatments here
tofore used, but which were only guess
work DR.. Sajous is dean Of the Med
leo Chirurgical college Of Philadelphia.
