WASTED GENIUS.

When the managers of Miss Tottie I1ptoes,
who receives the munificent salary OF ~ every
Saturday night, provided the weeks receipts
warrant such an outlay, feel that the company
needs some additional advertising, and the last
effort has passed so far into history as 10 make
the perpetration of new story safe, we natu-
rally expect the press agent TO come Forward
with properly authenticated tale of the
young woman's benevolence in giving 100000
for the establishment of a hospital for aged
and inirm catTier pigeons. or of the daring
burglary at her hotel and the removal there
from of string of priceless pearls given to the
charming fairy by the Prince de Punk when
they met at Monte Carlo year ago We also
expect when the waning season finds the lead
ing summer hotel at Mosquitohurst by -the-Lake
with only half-fiIled rooms, to learn that sew
eral eyewitnesses observed ploughing through
the waters of the lake, a monster a hundred
feet long, with a body like standard Oil pipe
line and eyes like the searchlight on suburban
car and with a voice like that of a campaign
orator, only different.
We are not aware however that there is any
possibility of directing a vast stream of travel
TO those regions lying beyond the Arctic Circle
and Il little to the left Of the shadow of the
North Pole at 3 in the afternoon, and for this
reason we are unable to account for the origin
If the tale that one of those pleasant little ani
mails common in the days of our prehistoric
ancestors. the keratosaurus. has been seen by
four intrepid explorers" in the region men
toned. Even in the secluded fastness of the
metropolis we hesitate to step outside the door
after nightfall when we read that 'lt passed
like a hurricane over the frozen surface OF
"the river dashing into the air behind it enor-
"mous blocks of ice All its hairy fur was
covered with hoar frost and its terrible eyes

Naturally the explorers were. as one OF them
states petriffed but this did not prevent their
noticing that it stood twenty-five feet high. and
from It's nose to its tail measured seventy feet
and some inches. And then suddenly the
monster reared its head and roared like thun-
''der and went romping down the ravine in vast
bounds at forty miles hour We cannot
believe that so realistic a description could
have been written by a mere San Francisco
banker and three companions, for to the DIS
eliminating eye there can be traced in every
line the fine Italian hand of the expert 1t

able fields. Such flower as this was not
born to blush unseen and waste its sweetness
on the Arctic air.

to testing the soundness of the theory referred
to. the American War Department has ordered
the construction of five thousand suits OF
orange underclothing and an equal number or

The experiment is worth making, the more
so because there is no perfectly satisfactory
explanation of the disorder in question. In
the main, however, it seems to be due to exces-
siye heat rather than to sunshine Among the
victims of the disease are workmen in rolling
mills stokers in engine rooms and laundresses,
who are exposed for hours to high tempera

HOW IS TUBERCULOSIS TRANSMITTED

fresh and valuable contribution to the study
of pulmonary consumption was made few
weeks ago in lecture delivered before the West
London Medico- -Chirurgical Society by Sir Will
lam Whitla. 1t dealt mainly with the route by
which the germs of the disease reach the lungs.
Until within few years it had been supposed
that the victim inhaled them, and the theory
was certainly plausible There has been
an increasing amount of evidence, however, that
pulmonary infection Is effected by a much
crcuftous path-one which includes the intes
tines and the blood vessels. Sir William de-
scrfbed some experiments of his own which sup
port that view. BY means of rubber tube he
introduced ink into the stomach of guinea pig,
pains being taken to guard against any of the
fluid getting into the animals mouth. After d
short time black stain appeared in the guinea
pigs lungs. That particular test made
twenty times in succession. invariably with the
same result. Two other methods were employed
by Sir William to get a solution containing par
ticles of carbon into the blood, and q similar
story told.
Sir William Whitla fills the chair of materia
medica and therapeutics in Queens College,
Belfast, and from various other institutions of
learning and from numerous medical societies
he has received high hOnors. Still, his verdict
in such matter would not count for much if it
were exceptional. Such, however. is not the
case. AS long ago as 1903 Won Behring the in
ventor of the dphtheria antitoxin, expressed the
opinion that in adults pulmonary consumption
resulted from intestinal absorption during child
hood. Calmette, a well known French bacteri-
Ologist, has made tests resembling the Irish pro,
fessor's, but differing in respect. He used
living tuberculosis baclli, not Ink or carbon
particles. Some of these germs lodged in the
intestnes and others appeared in the lungs.
At least two professional brethren of Calmette
(Guern and Breton) duplicated his work and
was given last year in the report of the British
is satisfied that the opportunities for Infection
by inhalation are insignificant" compared with
entrance by the fauces and ntestines.
AS yet there is unanlmity the point,
but there has been remarkable change of opin-
probably no question in regard to pulmonary
tuberculosis in human subjects at all compa-
rable in Importance with that which relates to
the channel Of invasion. 1t is known with
certainty that in many cases consumption can be
cured by fresh air and good food. Nevertheless.
the best hope of overcoming the great white
plague is believed to lie in preventive measures.
Some day, it is reasonable to believe, protection
by incubation will become feasible The
method has not been perfected yet. however. and
at present the most effective plan is to keep
the germs from gaining admission to the body.
How, then, is ii necessary to proceedi If there
fS greater danger from contaminated food than
from contaminated air (as many experts be-
lieve), then a stricter watch should be kept on
articles of diet
