TRADE IN HUMAN HAIR GROWING
Demands Of Fashion Create Profit
able Industry in German Cities.

Owing to demands of fashion, Ger
man imports and exports of human
hair have increased greatly during the
last year. Imports of human hair were
1924 metric tons, OF 2,204.6 pounds
each, in 1908, and 13B tons in 1909,
while the exports increased from 1873
to GAL tons. Germany imported from
China 58.7 tons of hair in 1909, and
1876 tons from Austria the same year.
An idea of the vast quantity of hair
indicated by these figures may be OBJ
tanned by remembering that the aver
age weight of full growth of hair
from the head Of a healthy woman in
the prime Of life is aboui half pound
Chinese hair is the most abundant and,
therefore, the cheapest. White hair is
the most valuable, old people seldom
possessing full growth. Hair from
China undergoes a complicated chem
zeal and mechanical process to make
it thinner, and is bleached and dyed
High prices charged for human hair
have led to the Introduction of many
substitutes, chiefly vegetable fibers, but
seldom are these sufficiently flexible to
be successful limitations.

Dnyen,S Elixir of Life

Confirmation of the reported discov-
cry of a new substance to prolong life
by DR.. Doyen, the famous Paris physi
clan, has been cabled from the doctor
himself. He says that the substance,
which he calls mycolysine, is now
available to duly authenticated Ameri-
can physicians for test and experiment
if they apply through the American
embassy at Paris. DR.. Doyen says
further that four weeks will suffice to
convince the doctors of the value of
this discovery provided the expert
ments are conducted intelligently and
faithfully and not with incurab Ies who
are already near death. lie asserts
positively that his discovery will pro-
long human life from fifteen to twenty
years and that most diseases of the
respiratory organs and digestive tract
will disappear, also cancer of the skin.
MycOlysine, which is a word meaning
germ solvent" is composed of colloids,
which are fine particles of insoluble
does not say, but indicates that they
are extracted from the ferments of al
cohol and from putrid fats. These COL
loids have the quality of causing rapid
destruction of poisonous microbes by
increasing the number of white cor
puscIes (phagocytes), which act as nat
ural scavengers and destroy the dis
ease microbes. Then, their work done,
the phagocytes disappear.

planets the smallest being
Scientists Discuss Many Things.

The American Philosophical Society,
in session at Philadelphia, listened to
papers on numerous subjects of gen
eraI interest, among them the coming
of Halley's comet and the first cruise
Of the nonmagnetic ship Carnegie. DR..
George E. Hale, of the Carnegie Tnsti-
tute at Pasadena, Cal, gave a final as
surance that the approach of the comet
does not threaten US with the least
danger. DR.. L. A. Bauer gave a dra-
matte account of the first cruise of the
Carnegie in 1909-10, which has estab-
lished the fact that the compass charts
now IN use by ocean vessels are from
1 to degrees wrong and tend to send
vessels into danger zones not c0nsid-
cred in their reckonings. The Carne-
gle is constructed entirely of non-mag-
netic materials. DR.. Charles B. Daven-
port, also of the Carnegie Institute at
Pasadena, presented the results of a
series of experiments which have
brought him close to the solution of
the mystery of hereditary influences
and the transmission of characteristics
from parents to their offspring. Prof,
Paul Hauptman, of Johns Hopkins,
traced the characteristics of the civiIi-
cation of 5000 years ago through the
common Roman alphabet of the pres
ent day and declared it to be a proved
fact that the Staying of Goliath by Da-
vid is a myth of BiblicaI Interpretation
and that it wasn't Goliath at all who
was slain, but his brother, and that
the killing was not done by David.

Immune to Snake Poison.

The remarkable cOmbats of the In
dian mongoose with venomous snakes,
in which it always comes off victor,
are we'll known. The fact that it in
variably survives has led to the sugges-
ton that it is immune to snake poi
son. Other animals said to be i'm
mune are the pig and the hedgehog.
With regard to the mongoose, in
deed, this immunity has been denied,
and if bitten it is said to fall a vic
tim as rapidly as other animals. If
this be true, the London Globe says,
then it must owe its victories to its
wonderful agility in avoiding the bites
of the reptile. However this may be,
some recent experiments of NJ G. Bal
lard show that an animal of the DOR
mouse family must be added to the list
of the immune.
This animal IS known as the lerot
and is said to fight fiercely with vipers.
Mr.. Billiard injected large doses of vi
per's poison into the lerot and found
that no i'll effects followed. On one
occasion, again, one of them was bit
ten badly on the eye by a viper, and
no signs of poisoning followed. There
can, then, be no doubt that the lerot
is immune to snake poison.

those mounds of clothes have disap-

Noah,s Flood Record Doubted

During the session of the American
Oriental Society in Baltimore, Prof. @.
A. Barton, of Bryn Mawr, questioned
the correctness of the much discussed
discovery of Prof Hilprecht, of the
University of Pennsylvania of a tablet
from the famous temple library" of
Nippur containing a portion of the
Babylonian deluge story. Hilprecht
called it the oldest known reference TO
the flood in writing, the tablet being at
least 1000 years older than the Bible
narrative. He gave out a translation
of it, which Barton says is largely i'm
aginary. The tablet is of unbaked clay,
measuring 2A by rs inches and near
ly an inch thick. But a part has been
broken away. 1t bears no date, but in
ternal evidence places it beyond zoos
B. c. The inscription is understood to
be a divine command to the Noah Of
Babylon to build ship and save life
from an all-destroying flood. This Nip
pur version differs from the two found
at Nineveh and agrees with the Bibli-
cal story, according to Hilprecht. DR..
William H. Ward, while deprecating
the animus against Hilprecht, thought
that the tablet dated from later
period and that it was largely imagi-
nation to call it an account of the flood.

Need of a Public Defender.

To give the poor and ignorant citi-
zens the same chance for acquittal as
the rich and powerful, Samuel Inter
myer, the noted New York jurist, ad-
vocated at the recent meeting of the
Social and Political Science Academy
in Philadelphia the provision of a pub
lie defender as well as a public prose-
cutor. He asserted that unjust convic-
lions among the poor and helpless, and
especially among our foreign popula-
ton, are far more frequent than we
fortunates care to admit" This is es-
peeially true where the accused are too
poor to furnish bail or employ coun-
sci. Untermeyer said that the great
est evil in the system of criminal law
at present was the prevalence of false
swearing, and that perjury is commit
ted in three trials out of five, but is
rarely punished, owing TO the severity
of the penalties.

Red Squirrels and BrowntaiIs.

If the red squirrel is inclined to de-
stroy moth nests he can perhaps be
made a powerful ally in the work.
The Record this week secured what
seems to be confirmation of this dis
covery by a case on High street where
two red squirrels have their home.
Last year only seven nests were found
on the trees in the vicinity of the
home of these squirrels, and this year
when the nests are twenty times as
thick in other places, only four are
desirable for all who have opportunity
to observe the habits of red squirrels
to note what they have done in other
places in clearing trees of broWntail
nests.-Brunswick Record.
