Battlefield Logic.

Among the men who served with
Roosevelt's rough riders in Cuba was
little Dutch Jew, who, according to
the men in his own troop, was "the
very incarnation of cool, impudent
bravado In fight" He was a con-
sistent fatalist.
One day he observed comrade dodg-
ing spent bullet that had whistled
uncomfortably close to him.

Out of China comes a timely warn

Hongkong cautiontng young Americans
from seeking to make their fortunes in
the far East unless they are assured a
steady position on reaching their des-
tination. only a most clever business

to the East without connections and
with only a little money and get an
Independent footing He adds that,
nine times out of ten, when a man goes
10 the Orient with a vague hope of
finding something before his money
runs out distress and, likely, ruin
awaits him" Such statements as these
should be pondered by the many who
since the Awakening of China have
regarded that kingdom as the promised
land of riches. But life there is more
different from life at home than read
lily can be imagined. Living expenses
are high, temptations are many, COM
forts are comparatively few. and
finally: There are not q few Ameri-

Orient who would gladly quit if they
had the passage money home and a
position awaiting them there, and 9TH

Malta's celebrated goats are likely
soon to be only a memory on the his
toric island, for it has been found that
banishing goats milk means an end to
the ravages of Malta fever. The COM
mission appointed in 1907 to trace the
origin Of the fever in the garrisons and
crews of warships made the discovery
in the milk of the goat. Wherever the
use Of this milk has been prohibited the
fever has disappeared.
Ohina's first school of forestry will
shortly be opened at Mukden. The
Chinese empire is usually pointed out
as the worst example, among modern
nations, of forest destruction. The
floods which are periodically poured
down from the denuded mountains are
destructive beyond comparison with
any other country and the want Of for
ests is assigned as the chief cause.
Wood is scarcer in China than in al
most any other region in the world, al
though the country is well adapted to
the growing OF trees.
Comparatively little damage was sus-
tanned by the American liner st. Paul
in the recent collision with the British
cruiser Gladiator. This is another
proof of what well-built Atlantic liner
can stand in such circumstances. Prob
ably the most remarkable previous case
of the kind was that of the GuioH liner
Arizona (5,147 tons), which, in Novem-
ber 1879, crashed at full speed into an
iceberg during the homeward passage.
She put into st. Johns, n. F., with her
bow completely smashed and crumpled
up almost to the collision bulkheads.
But these and the ship, as whole, re-
manned intact in spite Of the terrible
resistance encountered.
DIR. Simon FleXner pointed out, at
the recent meeting Of the American
Science in Chicago, the fundamental
difference between the old and the new
methods of combating diseases. Suf-
ficient progress has now been made to
show that there exists in the human
body, in consequence of the reactions of
foreign substances, particularly para
site micro-Organisms, wide range of
phenomena, some beneficial and some
injurious, which together constitute the
effect of natural disease, or Of the eff
forts to overcome it. The business of
the medical science of the future is to
unravel these complicated conditions,
taking advantage Of those which are
desirable and removing those which are
Objectionable.
John ]. Solomon has developed a
plant for radiographing pearl oysters,
to ascertain not only the existence, but
the stage of development of the pearls
without killing the animals or opening
their shells. AS many as 500 oysters
have been submitted to examination In
one minute, hundreds of shells spread
on a tray being exposed at one time.
Oysters showing no pearls are returned
to their beds; those showing partially
developed pearls are sent into hos
pital' to be nursed, while those whose
pearls are full grown suffer the fate
that attends all things which possess
something that man wants. 1t is al
legged that the treatment is not inju-
rious to the oysters-at least from
their masters point of view.

Oatmeal merely softens the water ;
almond meal is a substitute for soap.
It is made of ounces of best almond
