HOW HEAT KILLS

T1HE mechanism of sunstroke Cor more properly
heat stroSe'O is explained by the recent expert
ments of DR.. Harvey Sutton of Oxford univer-
sty. The organism is usually sef-protected against
undue rise of temperature because this induces per-
spiration which by its evaporation lowers the bodily
heat But where the humidity is so great as to sion
evaporation the danger point is soon reached This
occurs about 90 degrees Fahrenheit at which point
the heat regulating mechanism of the body breaks
down. The internal temperature rises stimulatipg
the processes of oxidation within the body which in
turn produce more heat Thus the temperature in
creases still further and this goes until death re-
suits The way stop it is to reduce the Temperature
as quickly as possible Drugs do good and are
often as fatal as the heat During the bodily process
result in this of internal heat carbohydrataz
or starchy compounds are consumed rapidly In rbn.

tropics love starchy foods, such rice Althouss

HEAT PHOTOGRAPHY

METHOD of photographng with invisible heat
IA radiation has recently been devised. 1t is now
recognized that there is essential difference
between what used to be called heat rays light
rays and chemical rays Radiation is OF divers
wave lengths, and only between certain limits does
it affect the eye. Between other limits produces
heat effects and between others it stimulates chemical
action, in a Photographic plate
In general the longest produce heat those
not long light, and the shortest of all chemical
action. Certain waves 5oti. heat and light rays,
and certain others are both light rays and chemical
rays; but general the invisible heat rays have no
chemical effect and it is impossible photograph
with them directly
In the new process advantage is taken of the fact
that very low temperatures the ordinary develop
have effect exposed plate. If plate
pletey exposed to light be treated with very cold
developer nothing wifi result; but if any portion of
the plate be then heated the developer will at the
heated parts and there only, and an image will be
formed. In some experiments recently described a
pot of almost boiling water used as source of
heat, and between it and the cold plate about four
inches away was held membrane in which the letter
W. had been cut. The result distinct picture
of the letter the plate
This odd method of photography may be used to
show that hard rubber is transparent to heat rays
while glass is nearly Opaque The reverse, of course
is of light and the difference evidently depends

THE BEE STING CURE

n OF for the stings of bees, but the sting
M of bee as a cure for something else-namely,
rheumatism or govt The belief that rheumatic
pains may be relieved by allowing bee to sting the
affected part is prevalent in widely distant lands 1t
has been classed by many with other odd popular
cures such as splitting the bottom of stone to
cure warts and so on But there is doubt that, in
this tradition is correct for the bee cure has
been tested and reported upon too often by reputable
physicians admit of
An Oxford professor has recently spent some time
in tracing the origin and history of this queer but
effective method of treatment 1t first appears in
print so far as he could ind about SO years ago in
Partisan medical journal in the shape of
of the experiences OF French bee keeper who find
ing rheumatic trouble of long standing relieved by
the accidental sting of bee his wrist caused bees
to sting him in other parts of the body and
cured Since his day the appears from time to
time in medical literature, often as supposed new
discovery. 1t has been successfully employed in
many parts of the world. DR.. Fere Austrian ply
stefan, has record of about 700 cases in which he
has used it. The sting causes considerable pain, but
this soon ceases, as the parts begin to SWELL and
after two or three such treatments the rheumatism
disappears for six months SO.
Evidently the sting acts natural hypodermc
injection and the SO called poison contains the
curative principle. chief constituent OF the fluid
is formic acid, but whether this or some minor ee-
ment is responsible for the effect OF the sting is not
certainly known.

F there is a single thing the American people are
insistent upon, try to impress on foreigners and
believe in themselves, it is that American men
are more considerate of women than the men of
any other country. 1t is thing the never
have been asked to prove; they have been willing to
admit it at all times and in all Places and this belief
coming down through the generations unchallenged,
has put the average man into condition of mind 50
that he thinks he IS the niftest thing in chiyalry
since Godfrey of Montserrat ran his spear through
the iron shirt and left lung of Launcelot de Vele
hardouin
It is the first lesson learned by the boys of this
country. 1t is taught them in the school and inn
pressed upon them in the home And when boy
is thoroughly mbued with the idea he goes out and
strikes his little sister in the eye with a SNOWFALL
few years later he takes up cigarettes and delights in
blowing the smoke in the eyes of the young woman
whom in his first throes of puppy love- he announces
his willingness. aye, his desire, to die for.
For fear the American will forget that he is
so consderate of women it is called his attention
every time he attends a banquet. No matter what
the reason OF the banquet is-and many of them are
held in San Francisco and all other cities without any
reason-it is up some to respond to the toast
The Ladies" This toast is usually assigned to
man who call his wife Honey" in public and names
considerably more descriptive in private. In SNUG
way he will rise his feet apologize for not being
prepared and say that he did expect be called
upon although he had ordered the printed
with his name and subject assigned to him.
This toast always comes fairly well down the list
for it is well known that the a state of in
tozication a man gets the more he imagines he is
the real thing in chivalry. For that reason there is
always tremendous applause and the throwing out
OF chests when the orator gives of the time
tested and meaningless toasts, something like this
-WOman-gende, patient, self-denying Without
her would be savage and the earth desert"
After he gets this of his chest he goes TO one of
the places where he get drinks all night and goes
home and hangs his clothes up in the middle of the
floor. He has headache and crouch when he
awakens in the morning and proceeds to demon
strate that women are gentle, patient and self
denying"
May have s. to get pair OF shoes for little
Nary" his wife will ask
Think I'm made of money!" he will shout to her
he tries to make four fakes of some cereal stay
down. You always asking for money, but you
viii have wait this time until the last of the week
Can't you get the shoes hxed?"
He then begins to find fault with the way the cof-
fee charges her with extravaganza and leaves
for his Office believing that if he had lived few
hundred years earlier his would have been in
Foxs Book of Martyrs But at the next banquet
he will cheer loud he when other
man tells how much the American men revere and
love the women.

goes with age is about the way talk about
their neghbors. The men, not for any want OF
chivary but oftentimes to make conversation, will
joke with the women about this 1t is fair pre-
sumption that a man who afford to belong 70
a club even though it is not of the very fash
ionable ones, has that respect for women all men
love to boast about.
1t is in the clubs, where the alone sepa-
rated from the refining influence of woman, that tcy
demonstrate how considerate they of the so
called weaker sex. A lot of men who by education
environment and birth should have respect for
women will sit around table in club, drinking
high balls and tearing to shreds and patches the
reputation of woman And that goes for the coun-
try grocery as we'll as the city club.
1t has been charged that the American man IS 50
intent on making money that he has not time for
those little courteses which distinguish the for
egner. That may be so, and if it is great crime
has been committed But the American man is to-
day prouder of his consideration toward than
he is of his ability money maker, or at least he
thinks he is.
He believes when he gives his wife money that he
has done all that should be asked OF him. If she
must go to the theater she go afternoons and
not take him away from the club the poker game

An English Diversion

1t IS true If court records be believed that the
American do not beat their wives the way the
Englishmen do for that is family diversion in
dulged in by many men Of the better class in that
country. But it may be that this is not due entirely

to look it, but that does not make any great argu
ment for those lords of creation who declare that you
can search the world over and find nowhere the men
considerate of they in America.
You give the American credit for
thing He is chvalrous to young women and par
tlcularly so If the young women are handsome
who is making his way in the world will marry
who helps him by encouraging words and
in many other ways. Her one thought is his success
and the happiness it will bring their children
They get to middle age but she shows her years
the earlier in life. She is working for the children
while he is attending the meetings of directors and
getting acquainted with who inherited social
position Some young comes into his life.
She may be a prima donna or chorus girl If she
is entertaining and anfuses him, if she hatters his
vanity, then the other woman who made the strug-
gle with him, who has sacrificed everything is
thrown into the discard and either in the divorce
court, or worse, without recourse to it, there
is exhibition of American chivalry.
Go to a resort frequented by Germans There you
will find the men of middle and old age showing
every attention the who have made the
fight along with them. They having their good
times together, and the German does not get out
handbills to announce the wide, wide world that
he is the first carbon copy of Lord Chesterfield as
far as his treatment of women is concerned
1t is not much for those things which find their
way into divorce courts but the little things in life
that the American man shows whether he is is
not consderate toward
The Smoke Matter
"If you have objection l will smoke a man
will say to a he places cigar in his mouth
and holds match poised in the air.
The woman is put the defensive at once. 1t is
not fair to her, and she is much Drawer than the
ordinary member Of her if she does not say she
has no objection to smoking That admission, wrung
from her because she does not desire to be placed in
the position of being disagreeabe, is all the man
wants and he INDUCES in his vice, caring nothing
for the discomfort that he may infct. He might
care if he gave it any thought at all but this
thoughtlessness is not any proof that he is what
he advertises himself to be--more considerate of
women than the men of any other country

In early youth, Lincoln, In boyisn
speeches, fiayed the scourge OF drink
Later when he was 80. this is what
he said:
The world would be vastly bene-
flied by a total and final Punishment
from it OF all Intoxicating drinks.
He did not lose his reason merely
because his convictions were intense:
Too much denunciation against
dram. sellers and dram-drinkers was
INDUCED in. II Is not much IN the ma

Observe, Lincoln was pleading for
"entreaty and persuasion" toward tenn
