Get Out Of Doors.

Trudeau's classic experiment points
Us In the right direction. After inoc-
ulating a number of rabbits with tu-
berculosis he confined a number of
them indoors and turned the others
outdoors. The latter all recovered,
while the former all died. This exper-
iment shows that a rabbit living upon
its natural food and under a natural
environment is proof against tubercu-
losis. There is abundant reason to be-
lieve this equally true Of man. In
other words, tuberculosis is not nee
essary evil of human life, but is a nat
ural consequence OF erroneous habits
and departure from natural conditions
Man Is naturally an outdoor animal
"A mole lives a healthy life in bur
row. A man must live in the fresh all
and the sunshine.-Medical Record.

joy of Yawn.

When life seems more than usually
lnsipid-and such moments do come to
even the most hopeful of us-there is
a sudden pleasant sympathy in the
GAVIN of the terrier on the rug before
the fire. "Ah, you, too, find things a
little boring, old fellowP we say to
ourselves. A dog yawns nobly, max
ing no attempt at Disgusting it with
politely uplifted paw. All animals
seem to enjoy yawn except man.
We once saw the late lamented hip
popotamus at the zoo lift himself slow
ly from his murky pond and yawn. 1t
was a great spectacle, tremendous, Ho-
meric. The concentrated boredom of
the whole creation seemed expressed
In that gigantic gasp. For few fas-
cinated moments pond, shed, ratings
people, all seemed merged in one CO.
lossal mouth. 1t was wonderful. Oh,
we thought as we came away, to be
able to yawn like that when life be-
comes too sillyl-Pall Mall Gazette.

DURABLE INK.
The Secret Of Its Manufacture Seems
to Have Been Lost.

The Secret of Its Manufacture Seems
to Have Been Lost.
The ink manufacturer has made
great strides in his field. He has pro-
nuced many colored fluids that seem
well adapted to ordinary use. But
how long will this ink last without
Fading?
Did you ever pick up a letter writ
zen ten or fifteen years ago and note
how much Of it is illegible because the
Sink has faded2 Some precious docu-
ments not a century old are preserved
today in air tight cases, so that the ink
will not fade any more. Others have
been copied in order to retain the ex-
net chirography Of the original authors.
Fading ink is one Of the things in
which the ancients did not believe.
Many of the medieval manuscripts
six and seven hundreds years old have
their letters formed Of ink that is as
black and bright as on the day when
first written.
Who has the secret Of this lost art
Of making durable ink? 1t is another
one Of the lost arts that is worthy of
Investigation. The ancients had fewer
materials to work with and less facil-
sites for laboratory tests, but we must
acknowledge that there are some
things in which they excelled u.s.

IMPlCATE POLICE
IN REDlIGHT GRAFT
Witnesses Tell Stockton Grand
Jury OF Gifts Collected
by Bluecoats
Especial Dispatch 10 The Cali

STOCKTON. Feb. 4.-Stockton's ten
derloin was raked fore and aft with a
fine tooth comb investigation during to-
days session of the grand jury. which
is deIving into alleged graft and neg
Iigence in the police department. Chief
of Police Frank Briare was called and
ordered to submit all the books. papers
and records of his Office for inspection.
Among those questioned by the jurors
were Joe Ruiz. the proprietor of a sa-
loon and dance hall in the redIight dis
trfct. Ruiz's testimony is said TO have
been sensational and it is reported that
ii tended to incriminate Captain Craig.
The gist of his statement was TO the ef-
feet. according to rumor. that Craig
was given $40 on different occasions.
1t is also said that Ruiz testified that
the tenderloin habftues and saloons
were given to understand that gifts
were acceptable and that the police
men were not looking for trouble
Chief Briare is said to have been
questioned as 10 the motives which
prompted him to detail only certain
men in Chinatown and in the tender
loin. For months the appointments of
the chief to the first ward districts. in
which the. slums are located. have been
openly commented on Places of which
Chief Briare denied alIl>saowledge are
said to have existed. andA idence is re-
ported to have been secured showing
that the chief not only knew of the ex-
istence and character of the places. but
that he had detailed a policeman on one
occasion to gather information about
their conduct
AS a result of today's sessions two
other members of the police force are
said to have been connected with graft
proceedings.
