ance and agility to the end
II is also well known to scientists
that the lower intestine swarms with
bacteria which not only cause putre-
faction but produce poisons SO deadly
that should even the smallest amount
pass through the intestinal wall into
the blood grave and even fatal conse-
quences would ensue.
Accepting this theory, Prof. Metch-
nikof and other European scientists
have set to work to discover means
of ridding the intestines OF putrefac.
tive bacteria without harm to the pa
tient- This cannot be done with chem
icals. but Prof Metchnikof has sug.
gested that It might be possible to re
place the harmful bacteria with others
whose presence would be blessing
rather thah curse.
1t was at first supposed that the
large amounts of Tactic acid produced
by these bacteria did the work. but
recent Investigations at the Pasteur
institute seem to demonstrate that it
is some ferment totally distinct from
l1ctic acid, and investigations are be-
Ing conducted Of this ferment."

MINISTER WANTS s1Oo LESS
Asks to Continue Working for $500
Year But Presbytery In
sIsts Upon $a00.

Marksboro, N. J.--One OF the inter.
ssting questions that the Newton
Presbytery in session at Washington.
will have to decide IS whether Rev.
F. A. Lott OF Newport. Pa, shall be
allowed TO accept pastorate Of the
Presbyterian church at this place. The
only objection thus far offered to the
candidate Is that he does not ask for
enough money. The presbytery has
made a rule not to appoint pastor
for the church In question at salary
less than $500 year, whereas Mr..
Lott Is willing to accept $500.
Mr.. Lott has daughter he wants
TO educate, and he has figured out
that, with the free tuition offered to
children Of ministers. he can accom-
plish his desire on the $500. That
sum is. therefore. enough for him. and
he will not ask for any more, as he
hates to be burdeneG with wealth.

BIG DEATH SECRET
French Scientist Makes Discoy-
cries to PrOIong Human Life.
Prot. Metchnikof Asserts Old Age De-
yeIops Prematurely In Man as
Compared with Other Animals
Actual, Definite Disease.

hiIadeIphias--News OF what are
termed astounding discoveries by Prof.
Ellie Metchnikoff. head of the Pasteur
institute in Paris, by which It Is be-
lieved the problem Of longevity will at
last be solved, has been brought to
this city by DR.. +. Mortimer Lawrence,
who has Just returned from abroad.
II the theories OF Prof. Metchnikoff
are correct, the mystery of the "foun-
tain Of eternal youth" and the "elixir
Of life" which have been sought for
centuries, viii have been partly solved.
This does not mean that the
scientist believes he has discovered
the secret Of eternal life. but that he
has found a method Of retasding death
for many years. If he Is correct, the
life Of man will be spread far beyond
the century mark.
The experiments which Prof. Metch-
nikoif has been conducting have been
along the line Of inquiry which he
has followed for several years 1t Is
bis theory that death Is a disease, due
70 the formation OF putrefactive bac-
terra. These are formed in the large
intestine, and their effect is to poison
The blood, causing the hardening Of
the blood vessel walls.

TOSAVE MINERS LIVES
Kansas Professor Experimenting
With Explosive Gases.
ONE CAUSE OF EXPLOSIONS.
Mine Disasters Can Be Prevented,
Erasmus Haworth Believes, by
Eliminating Carbon Monoxide, a
Deadly Deoxidized Gas-Most Ex-
plosions Due to It, He Says.

What causes explosions in mines
that have been tested and are suppoS
ed TO be absolutely safe? Professor
Erasmus Hawor;h head of the geo.
logical department of the University
Of Kansas and state geoloGist. has
been experimenting for the last three
months in Kansas mines and has
! reached many interesting conclusions
To aid in further experiments bill
appropriating $1,000 was recently in
trCduced in the Kansas legislature
Professor Haworth believed ii would
be passed.
ITS the big problem of the coun
try" Professor Iaworth said the other
night at the Union depot in Kansas
City. "A mine explosion has become
so common that a hundred or more
lives have to be sacrificed before the
public will pay any attention to it. 1t
is noticed. too. that the explosion gem
err!ly occurs in mines that have been
carefully inspected
Last summer | came to the conclu
sion that we could make experiments
In Kansas just as well as elsewhere
| The laboratories at Lawrence offered
excellent opportunities for carrying on
the work. We have been experiment.
| ing as to every conceivable way that
an explosion could possibly occur. and
| the results of our experiments will be
| received with interest all over the
| United States"
The problem of financing the expert
ments caused the Kansas professor
some worry at first. But mine owners
/ became interested. The Central Coal
and Coke company of Kansas City
alone contributed $500 for the expert
ments when Professor Haworth ex-
| planned his plans. Then some funds
which had been appropriated for geo.
| logical experiments We're added to the
subscriptions of the coal companies
| That made enough to begin operations
Professor c. Young of the geological
department was sent to the pittsburg
coal Eelds. He collected coal dust
coal gas In bags. marsh gas. natural
gas and all forms of gas that contain
| ed explosive elements Experiments
demonstrated beyond doubt that car
! bon monoXlde is the cause Of most ex-
| plosions
''Thc queer thing about It," said
Professor Haworth, lis the fact that
no one has noticed the effects of this
! deadly gas in mines. AT the mining
congress in Pittsburg last December

CARRIED BY LARGE MAJORITY
Vote on Provision Is Sixty 70,

Washington, July 3.-The corpora.
ton tax amendment which was
suggested by President Taft
orawn by Attorney General
Wickersham and presented to
the senate by MIR. Aldrich, chair
man OF the committee on finance. is
an integral part of the tariff bill as
that bill now stands. After much
tribulation the senate reached a vote
on the proposition shortly before adj
1ournment for the day and the amend
nent was agreed to by the large vote
OF 90 to II. With all modifying
amendments disposed of, many Demo-
Gratis voted with most of the Republi-
cans for the amendment Only three
Democrats voted against the provision
Oh the final vote, but some refrained
from voting at ALL
The test vote was en- the substitu-
ton of the corporation tax amend
ment for the income tax provision and
on that vote As senators cast their
ballots in the affirmative and 81 in
the negative. On this ballot all the
Democratic votes were cast in favor
of the income tax, which also re-
ceived the support of a number of the
insurgent Republicans.

.MESS|NA AGAIN SHAKEN
Terrific Shocks Terrorlze In
habitants Of City.

Messina, July 2.-Messina expe-
rienced two terrific earthquakes at
about 1880 o'clock a. M, which were
accompanied by roaring sounds and
are said to have had stronger and
more undulatory movement than the
earthquake of last December, which
destroyed Messina, Reggie and other
cities, laid waste many villages in
Calabria and killed 100000 people.
Although the latest shocks had r
such terrible consequences, the U.s.
600 residents of this city were thrown
into state of terror. They ran into
the streets panic-stricken and nearly
the entire population is encamped in
the open places, fearing to return to
the structures which have served
them as homes since the city was
destroyed.
The broken walls of the old ruins
were thrown to the ground and Mes
sina was for few minutes smoth-
cred in cloud of dust.
The casualties were few and the
only persons killed so far as known
were a young woman and her infant
Reggie suffered almost as severe a
shock as Messina. Walls were over
thrown, but no casualties have been
reported at that place.
