FLESH DIET PROVES NOTHING.

Metropolitan Magazine.-The Indi-
ans of the plains, who lived almost
entirely of flesh, were fierce and war
like enough; the Eskimos, who also
live entirely ON flesh, are among the
mildest and most peaceable of men.
The unfortunate Armenians, per con-
ira, are periodically massacred by
race of blood-thirsty vegetarians. The
Hindoos of Bengal are the traditional
horrible example of the effects of liv-
ing on rice. But the Chinese and
japanese, who also live on rice-in
sufficient quantity-are about the
toughest and most enduring race of
mankind During the race of the al
lied armies to Pekin the Japanese
army, on diet of rice and dried fish,
outmarched the Europeans by fifty
per cent Even in India, the Sikhs
and Rajpdts, who eat but twice day
and rarely touch meat, are among the
finest on earth. In the old days before
the telegraph, the messenger service
from Madras to Bombay and Calcut-
ia was made I'M of runners who did
sixty miles for days work and kept

dred miles on end-on diet Of boiled
rice.

acknowledgement Of New York.

st. Paul Dispatch. to
Lawrence WELLER, former deputy tene-
ment house commissioner, New York
city has 100000 persons living in
constant danger from fire. It is not
the general danger which may come
to everybody, everywhere, but an ever
present, overshadowing danger involv-
ing loss of life. This fire hazard, Mr..
WELLER finds, is due to such overcrowd-
ing as is found in no other city in the
world
There are more than 100000 separ-
ate tenement houses in New York, TO-
900 of discredited ''dumbbell'' type,
furnishing neither sunlight nor fresh
air. In 10000 of the tenements most
of the rooms are without light Or VEN
tilation. There are 10000 without any
means of ventilation whatever, even a
window into another room.
1t is an Interesting development OF
present cay civilization that the one
spot in the country containing the
greatest amount of wealth should
have the great majority of its popula,
ton living not only in unsanitary sur
roundings, but in actual danger of
their lives by fire-hazard. The facts
given by Mr.. WELLER seem to give
point to tine recent statement of DR..
Patten, of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, that the discriminating trans
portation rates given to our large GEN.
ters of population are leading to a
pernicious over-development of these
centerS.

SHELL GAME WORKED.
| ON AN OSTRICH
BIRD TENDERS EASTER EGG BIG
AS A FOOTBALL TO
RlNGLINes.
BUT IT is TAKEN TO STEAM
HEATING CONCERN FOR
MATCHING.

In the subterranean section of Mad
ison Square Garden, New York, dwells
as one of the attractions of the great
Barnum & Bailey circus an ostrich
whose name is Henrietta. She Is abb
solutely and twenty-four carat true to
the first syllable of her name. Pro
lessor Harris says so, and he ought to
know He attends to her simple wants.
For several days Henrietta has dis
played symptoms which in an ostrich
are unmistakeable. She was de-
pressed and happy by turns, and Pro-
lessor Harris comforted her as best
be could, and when he got to Henri
cts room the other morning he found
on the carpet what anybody else
would have taken for a whitewashed
football, but he recognized it in an in
slant. 1t was an egg, laid by an os-
trich, and the ostrich was Henrietta.
There is another ostrich in the same
room, but nevertheless the egg was
Henrietta's.
Professor Harris notified the press
agent department and there was an
exciting pursuit of the photographer
who lets the circus and some of the
Ringlings travel with him. He took a
picture of the Henrietta hen and her
by-product.
And that by-product was something
wonderful to behold The trained
mule took it for a football and wanted
to kick it. That didn't see to make
any difference to Henrietta, as she
had her automobile veil on in so many
thicknesses that she couldn't see and.
like the foolish bird she is, thought
she was out of sight of everybody.
Henrietta will not be permitted to
use the egg for throne, even if she
were inclind that way. The reason
for that is that Henrietta has to ap-
pear in the pageant which opens the
show afternoon and night. With Henri
eta ON and off such a throne it
would get hot and cold by turns.
and everybody knows that an egg must
have an even temperature in the
Matching process.
There was an idea among the circus
men that since it is an Easter egg it
ought to be colored, but the final de-
clsion was that it should be sent to
the plant of the New York Steam
Heating company to be Matched. Some
there are who think Henrietta the
innocent victim Of shell game.

Microphone Used to Discover Pres.

OF the small cone is turned toward

supply. After three days searching,
water was heard at what proved to
be a depth of about sixteen yards.

SERUM COMBATS
DEADLY DISEASE.
FLExNER's DISCOVERY USED
SUCCESSFULLY IN TWO
MINNEAPOLIS CASES.
GREAT AND GROWING INTEREST
EXCITED BY THE Ex-
PERlMENTs.

Minneapolis, April 9.-Two cases OF
cerebro spinal meningitis have been
treated successfully in the twin cities
by the use of the newly discovered
antitoxic serum of the Rockefeller in
stitute. So important are the two
cases considered that the serum is
now kept in stock by the state board
of health and is being distributed un-
der the supervision of the board OF
health laboratory authorities.
The work of Investigating and
treating the disease is done cooper.
atively through the laboratory of the
board of health and the university
medical college, and the dean Of thu
college has appointed two members
of the medical staff whose services in
the twin Cities may be secured free
of charge by the physicians in whose
practice the cases occur.
The Importance of the twin city ex.
periments with the F1exner serum is
indicated by the fact that the gen.
eral death rate in the past has been
from Is to IS per cent. The use OF
the new serum has reduced the death
ate in the cases in which it has been
used to approximately 25 per cent.
Physicians do not ordinarily con.
slider that two cases successfully
treated mean much, but the reports
which have been coming to DR.. Flex-
ner from all parts of the United
States and from other countries, such
as England, have been SO convincing
and unanimous that great interest at.
taches to the two cases.
Meningitis is an inflammation of the
membranes covering the brain and
spinal cord, and may be caused by
one Or more of several bacteria. The
germ of pneumonia causes one form;
the germs OF ordinary septic poison
ing cause other varieties, while the
bacillus of tuberculosis causes still an
other. Separate from each other OF
these forms is that form caused by a
germ with very long name. diplo.

this latter form, and this alone. which
