LIGHT ON MEDICAL QUESTION
Scientific Analysis of the Ability Of
individuals to Weep "Tears
of Blood"

The belief that certain individuals
are able to weep tears of blood is OF
such antiquity that the German
equivalent for bitter tears" is 'blut.
ige thranan," bloody tears" There
seems, howe-ar. no authentic instance
of blood being actually secreted by
the lachrymal gland
Micas has published very inter-
esting article on real and false tears
of blood. 1t is a clinical study on
conjunctival hemorrhage Some years
ago the author was consulted dDout a
boy aged IL years who, from the
slightest cause, such as laughing, or
whatever, wept tears of blood-an &C.
currence often repeated several times
a day. The lad was pale and ener-
waited from constant hemorrhage.
The source of the bleeding was the
tarsal conjunctiva, which was covered
with fine papillae, and light cauter-
ization with the galvano-cautery re.
suited III cure.
This case led the author to study
the literature of the subject. He
found that in none of the cases cited
is it certain that the blood did not
come from the conjunctiva or from
the lachrymal passages. He feels
that it is unwise to deny the posi-
bility of sanguineous secretion from
the gland. but that examples in which
other sources cannot be shown to be
present must be exceedingly rare.

Schisms That Seem Small.

Two religious sects who hated one
another bitterly we're found by Svea
Hedin in Tibet. Searching fer the
cause of this aversion he found that
one of the sects believed that the
prayer wheel should turn to the right,
while the other was convinced that the
wheel should turn to the left. In the
region of the Bramaputra he found a
mountain which is so sacred that who
ever walks around it IL times has all
his sins forgiven. The result of this
belief is that criminals from far and
near infest this region. When Sven
Hedin started to ride around this
mountain on his horse the pilgrims in
formed him that that would do him
no good.

Asthma Plant of Queensland.

The euphorbias are very numerous
in the colony of Queensland, and
among them is the euphorbia piluli-
fera, the Queensland asthma plant"
which has a remarkable reputation
for curing this troublesome complaint.
Several pharmaceutical preparations
of the plant are extensively sold in
Australia. Analysis shows that a
green plant contained 70 per cent. by
weight of water and three per cent. of
ash, leaving IS per cent. of vegetable
matter. A dried plant contained an
alkaloidal substance equal to about
1 part in 1000. 1t contained also a
glucosidal substance to the amount
of not more than parts In 1000.
Possibly one or both of these was the
active principle OF the plant.

SOME MOSQUITOES

A Wausau gentleman who visited
the Rice lake district last week says
that the mosquitoes are something
fierce down that way, along the low
lands bordering the Eau Pleine river.
He spent one day in the woods and
carried lunch with him, but went
hungry ali day for the reason that the
insects were so ferocious that he did
not have the courage to tackle his
lunch. One has to keep his mouth
closed all the time, he says, or he
may swallow a mouthful of these
pestiferous insects, when it is
Open He also says that the large
ditch which is being dug by the con-
tracing firm which is draining the
Dancy drainage district, has about
drained Rice lake Notwithstanding
the fact that the ditch is not as yet
completed. There will be no more
duck hunting on Rice Ia mud hole
when the drains are all dug. Since
the water has been let out of the lake
he says people go there, and, in the
pools left here and there, they scoop
up fish by the hundreds. They get
pike, pickerel, bass and bullheads.
The latter variety is very plentiful
He says that in an hours time one
can catch all the fish he desires, in the

A Man Who Does Things.

The Cincinnati Times-Star con-
cludes long study OF Senator LaFol-
lette's character thus:
"And the burned children in the
senate dread his fire. When he enter
ed the senate the other senators haZed
him. They did it thoroughly, too.
Whereupon he circled through the
land on the chautauqua route the
following summer and carried fire and
the sword into the fortalices of those
senators who had been most unkind.
Several of them failed to come back
in consequence. The senate regards
him as person entirely lacking in
the rudiments of courtesy, rude,
course and uncultured person. The
fact that he always dresses in frock
coat and white tie but adds to his
offense. Why should he steal the
livery of the political heaven, they
ask with reason, when he acts like
the very devil? Why can't he settle
down and be a good fellow and let
Aldrich run things? Shame on you,
Robert. Keep your seat, bullet-head,
and don't bother the corpse.

sin wide open. That commonwealth

new hour, but one which will chime
in harmony with the earlier life of

have equal representation on this
floor. Do you suppose that the sover-
