No medical man needs 70 be told that
even disease has It's freaks, and that
recovery has occasionally been brought
about by means lnexplIcably trivial.
One OF the most remarkable Of these
understandable eccentricisies Of disease
took place In Iialver, in Westphalia'
The case was that OF a boy who. as
the result Of a very heavy fall back
ward on his head while skating, had
for a rear and a half been deaf and
dumb. One morning his brother went
to awake him. and finding him asleep
heavily, tapped him lightly onsthe fore
head. To his amazement the deaf and
dumb boy awoke with a loud cry. Both
speech and hearing had been restored

Plan Under Way 20 Utilize Water
Power OF A~fxhanfsfan-
There is a plan for utilizing the ire
mendous force which lies beyond the
Khyber Pass in the wasted waters Of
AfghanIstan. says Charles NJ Pepper
In S~cribners 1t Is proposed to supply
electricity for lighting the forts and
military environments scattered over q
large territory and also for the sta
tions and yards along the railway lines
The enterprise contemplates the con.
structlon Of trolley lines spreading out
through the dense populations Of north
ern India and an electric railway from
Postwar up the Khyber Pass to the
British outpost station there. While I
write this article this project is receiv-
ine favorable consideration from the
British government In some form
within the next few years it viii b
adopted.
Apropos OF the Himalayas and the
progress Of electricity a query is raised
regarding Tibet Is the roof Of the
world less susceptible to this progress
than Kashmir, which may be called
the eavesf
The answer may be given that the
conditions are not the same. for Kash-
mir is habifable by a large number Of
people. In attitudes ranging from 2.5o0
to 10000 feet. while Tibet at 1900 to
10000 feet could not sustain a large
population. Yet should the ultimate
outcome OF the British political mis-
sion TO Lhassa with its military accom.
paniment be the prospecting Of the
Himalayas for gold. and discoveries Of
that precious metal be made. the water
power would be utilized as In the Kolar
gold fields OF Mysore.
The influence OF the electrical ele-
ment In one OF Its primary forms al
ready Is seen. During the British in
vaslon the '1inemanv was with the ad-
vance guard OF the troops, and commu-
nication with the rear was kept up by
telephone and telegraph apparatus
