DISORDERS OF THE TEETH.
Responsible For Many of the lila Inar
Afflict Mankind.

Responsible For Many of the IIis Inar
Afflict Mankind.
Love, sleeplessness and religion are
all traced to the toothache by the ma
terra medica Of DR.. Henry S. Epson.
who ascribes many Of the ordinary
cases Of nervous wreck to a misunder-
standing of the dental mechanism Of
man. Not only is toothache the cause
of this. but other diseases of a dental
nature, involving no pain whatever to
the victim, work their havoc and lead
men and women to Warehouses;. domes-
tic miseries and every kind of excess.
Dental carries is probably the most
common among the diseases to which
mankind is subject. says the Chicago
Tribune. And of dental carries insom-
MIA is probably the most common
symptom, often occurring without local
pain or indication of its place or origin.
A man of sixty for thirty years had
not enjoyed a Thorough nights rest.
Examination showed dental defects
dating many years. These were treat
ed, and the insomnia vanished. Worry
and melancholy lasting for months are
thought to have been cured by treat
ing a molar tooth that gave no pain.
Dr.. Epson designates the teeth as
the most important Of the responsible
sources Of nervous and mental de-
rangement-this not only on account
of the common, almost universal, &C.
currence Of dental diseases, but be-
cause these organs were. during the
period of their development through
the solid framework Of the jaw, high
~ innervated and clothed by q men,
brane sensitive to impact and to cor
rosive poisons.
DR.. Epson feels that there exists
among physicians not only a disregard
but a distinct though mild dislike of
the teeth as organs to be reckoned
with medically. They are, as it were,
an 1shmael not to be admitted to their
right. Few attempts have
been made systematically to correlate
the disorders Of the teeth with the suf-
ferings Of the human race, except for
the most obvious phenomena Of pain.
Ordinary pain at a distance, as head
ache or neuralgia, due to the teeth is
commonly disregarded, although it's
origin Is we'll understood.

QUEEN HELENA.

Vesuvius created so much terror in the
spring Of 1905 and when the ashes
and lava from the burning mountain
buried populous communities, v
whelming hundreds Of people and driv-
Ing thousands from their homes, both
king and queen exerted themselves to
the utmost in the work Of relief. The
king himself went often into danger
In hts anxiety to see that everything
possible was done. Since the recent
disaster occurred he has been still
more active. He gave $4,000 from
his private purse to the relief fund,
and the queen, too, contributed a large
sum from her personal fortune. The
king also directed the ministers of wal
and marine to hurry supplies to Mes
sina and other places along the Sicil-
Ian and Italian coast where the shock
of the earthquake, the tidal waves Of
the e and the rumblings of the vol
cano, Mount Etna, had combined to
create a reign Of horror aud desolation.

Acetylene Shells For German Nav,

Acetylene Shells For German Navy.
Experiments are now being carried
out or German warships with acety-
lene shells, which, it is believed, will
take the place of the electric search
light used hitherto by warships. These
shells contain calcium carbide, and the
water can reach 1t through a tube.
The shells are fired by a gun built spe.
cially for the purpose. On being fred
the shell goes under water and then
rises to the surface, and the action of
the water upon the calcium carbide
produces the acetylene light. Each
shell Is said to have 5000 candle pow
er and will burn for three hours. The
great drawback Of the ordinary search
light is that, although It affords some
protection from the unobserved ap-
proach Of torpedo boats, 1t yet makes
the warship using it an excellent tar
get. The new acetylene shell referred
to will have the great advantage Of
lighting up a given space, while the
vessel that fires it will be left in dark
ness,

recent earthquake shocks II

~HE recent earthquake shocks in
the island Of Sicily and in
Calabria, which is IN the
southern portion Of Italy, ere
eted much suffering, In addition to
widespread loss Of life. In many por-
lions Of the districts affected the peo-
pie have been afraid to dwell within
the walls of their homes, even II the
hitter were not destroyed. The uncer-
ta1nty Of the situation for many thou
sands has filled all Italians with the
deepest distress, for they fear the day
when that part of the country which
seems to have been most blessed by
nature will be destroyed by the blind
forces which nearly nineteen centuries
aSo overwhelmed Pompeu and Hercu-
laneum. All reports show that the
present catastrophe constitutes one Of
the greatest calam1ttes recorded In his
tory.
Calabr1a and Sicily form the center
Of the earthquake district in this part
Of the world. The last serious earth
quake in Calabria occurred on Sept. 8,
1905, when about 1900 persons lost
their lives, while over thirty towns
were destroyed. Two thousand two
hundred alone were reported as being
buried at Martirano.
Calabria forms the southern part Of
the former kingdom Of Naples. The
full force Of the present earthquake
seems to have conferred on Sicily. The
two principal cities affected there are
and Catania. The former is

ELECTRIC BLEACHER.

Machine Whitens Clothes Without In
juring Fabric.
The problem Of bleaching clothes in
laundr1es without rotting the cloth has
always been a serious one, but a ma
chine Is nov on the market which is
expected to do away with the use of
chloride Of lime bleach. It is a device
for producing bleaching liquor electro
lytically from IN ordinary salt brine.
This liquor or chlorine is claimed to
be harmless to clothes and in fact is
considered equal in this respect to the
old grass bleach.

Case.

such a profound sensation throughout
the country as that Of Judge Daniel
Thew Wright Of the supreme court of
the District Of Columbia in sentencing
to imprisonment the president, vice
president and secretary Of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor. These three
posts are held respectively by Samuel
Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank
Morrison, all men of high reputation
citizens and widely known and es-
teemed in the world Of labor.
Sentence was imposed on the three
labor men in consequence Of their al
legged contempt of court in violating
the order enjoining them from placing
on the unfair or I'VE don't patron

LIST the corporation which occupies the
position Of plaintiff in the proceedings.
The appeal was taken from Judge
Wright's court to the court Of appeals

Of the District of Columbia, and the
labor leaders were released on bonds.
Judge Wright vas appointed to his
present post by President Roosevelt in
1903. He vas born in Cincinnati in
1864 and ONE Of a family of lawyers
and ~jurists. After graduating from
high school and the Cincinnati Law
school he began the practice Of law
and held several minor public posts.
He was chosen a judge of the court of
common pleas of Hamilton county, O.,
In 1893. During his practice before
the bar he made several fights for the
protection Of labor interests.
Mr.. Gompers, who was sentenced by
Judge Wright to a term of one year in
jail, will be 1fty-nine years of age on
the 9th Of January and has been con-
nected with efforts to organize work
Ing people since his fifteenth year. He
was born in England and is a cigar
maker by trade. In fact, he can roll a
pretty good cigar now. He was one Of

MI. Mitchell, who was sentenced to
nine months Imprisonment. retired
but recently as president Of the United
Mine Workers of America on account
Of Ill health. He has always been
counted a close friend of President
Roosevelt. and 1t was supposed that
the latter would desire especially to
modify the action of the court in his
case If the opportunity presented and
he could consistently do so. But Mr..
Roosevelt has stated that as the mat
ter stands the ease is not before him
In any official way and Is not likely to
be. Mr.. Mitchell. who was at the
head Of the United Mine Workers for
nearly Il decade, has been regarded as
q labor leader Of a conservative type.
Born in Illinois in 1870, he worked in
coal mines before he was a dozen
years old and Joined the Knights of
Labor when he was fifteen. He OBJ
tanned quite a fair education through
night study and reading, studied law
and has written on economic questions.
