vAPOROUS OUTPOURINGS

The report Of Secretary Meyer on
the Southern Naval Stations is dis

advisable to give up any of the North
Atlantic Yards that are close to each
other and several of them have been
severely criticised by practical navy

PREDICTS DISASTER TO TAFT
REGIME.
London, Ath May

London, Ath May.
Discussing the revolt against President
Taft, the Daily News says ~
The high road to the confidence Of the
American people is hostility TO the trusts
The belief is widely held that Nh. Taft,
though his personal integrity is irrepSoach
able, Is us ~ubseryieut to trusts - WIS Mr..
Mckinley.
"Failure of Mr.. Taft, il it were merely a
personal matter, would not bo of excessive
Importance, but it is one sign significant of
a change in American politics that he has
been rebutfed not 10y democrats but by re-
publicaus. Republican machines have been
smashed aud the republican, party has gone
to pieces.
1T is one OF the merits Of Mr.. Roosevelt
that he was the first republican statesmen
to appreciate and identify himself with "a
crusade against p|iratical wealth. The re-
publican party machine, however, WAS blum
derinB and infinitely less responsive than the
republican President, and the obstinacy Of
the machine has been its ruin.
The action of the insurgents msy IN the
long run prove the salvation Of their party
but meanwhile the losses of the republicans
are proving gains to the democrats.
"What the republicans need is . chief
who can poll the votes OF both sections Of
the republicans and win tho confidence Of
the whole American people. Mr. Taft is
manifestly not such u man, and what is more
natural than that Mr.. Roosevelt should once
more loom on the horizon as a political por-
tent Of the first magnitude

republican disaster is also the man to carry

~INFANpILE

One Of the most horrible Of diseases, be-
cause it attacks children, kills from + per
cent. to Is per cent. Of them, and cripples
for life IS per cent. Of those stricken, is
being conquered by science Just at the time
when epidemics of it are reaching very Sc
rous proportions. Ia a review OF the bril-
liant Investigations conducted by DIR. Simon
Fltxner Of the Rockefeller Institute, the
Dietetic and Hygiene Gazette for May says
that since the first epidemic Of lnfantIlo pa
ralysis was reported in New Orleans in 1871
none occurred in this country until within
thirty years, when fifty Of them have been
recorded the single epidemic in New York
in 1907 rising to 2 600 cases. In the hot
season o tbreaks throu ghout the country are
now annually reported.
Dr.. FIeXuer conveyed the disease to mon
KEYS by NEGOTIATIONS from human subjects
who had succumbed. He learned that a
way Of guarding against the infection IL by
keeping clean the nose and mouth, by which
the m1crourganisns enter. 4 fItrate Of the
iuocuIutiug luld disclosed under the mIcros-
cope "ruuumerab.e bright, dancing points,
devoid of definite size and not truly mobile
and Of rounded oval form
Thus the germs were discovered. Iuocu-
latio ~ Of monkeys surviving the disease
showed that they we're immune, and resls-
lance by some Of them to the first inocula-
ton made it apparent that they had previously
suffered the disease in a light form. By OK
posture to moderately high temperature for
half an hour the germs were destroyed and
by gradually inoculating some Of the mon
KEYS. Dr.. Flexner la. found that he can pro-
duco immunity before the serious symptoms
develop. He has also discovered that the
processes of the disease are especially de-
structiye to the anterior horns Of the spinal
cord. because the nerve structures OF tins
area must be richly fed with blood aud the
supply is cut off by tue swelling Of the inner
arterial conts.
With the discovery Of the cause Of infan-
tile paralysis, of its peculiar processes, and
OF the method OF treating it, the disease Is
all but conquered. 1t is already another

HAD BOUGHT A GOLD BRICK
Bad in His Purchase of a Coun- try Home.

William Raymond Sill's regular vo- cation, in addition to decorating the lobby of the Broadway theater, is to put pieces in the paper about Lew Fields. For this he receives salary said to be larger than-but what's the use.
 Silfs most notable achievement to date is bouncing baby from whom knowledge of his fathers ealing has been withheld thus far. The need of country air for any reputable off spring was impressed upon Sill by Mrs Sill last summer, and one eve ming the head of the household tri- umphantly laid a formidable docu- ment in the lap of his fireside com panion.
 What's this?" she demanded.
 Deed of the farm" replied Sill
 Whose farm?" she asked
 Yours, mine, the kids" answered her husband.
 Examination of the document proved that it called for II acres of land. Subsequent inspection of the property revealed 5000 barrels of the choicest Long Island swamp; 2,000 gallons of malaria and an unlimited supply of eau de board of health. Sill promptly christened the estate Marshmellow Arms and began to cultivate.
 The last time he struck balance sheet he rejoiced to learn that by his ardous toll he had raised a half-acre of pond lilies (yellow), six families of muskrats, and a "scab" bullfrog that croaks only in the afternoon.

RING IS 3,20O YEARS OLD
Ornament Once Worn by Court Beauty of Egypt-ls Fine Example of
 Ancient Carving.

The Musee Guimet of Paris has just acquired priceless treasure, provided that it will bear investigation better than did the notorious tiara of the Louvre few years ago M. Guimet, whose name the museum bears, Is an antiquarian and a voluminous writer on antiquities. He seems quite satis- fled that he has added to his collection ring of the time of Rameses H., who f1ourished about 1900 years before our era.
 The ring was acquired from family of Grenoble in whose possession it had been for long years, and the former owners produced documents which sat isfied M Guimet as to the authenticity of his acquisition. The ring bears heiroglyphic inscriptions showing that it graced the hand of Merchantmen Mout, one of the wives of the once powerful monarch of Egypt.
 The ring is of thick gold carrying a comedian stone rectangular large and flat The stone is inclosed in gold and the ring itself is ornamented with a fillet of gold. The stone tells the story in hieroglyphics said to repre- sent the kin. and Nefritarimeri. The perfection of the entaillure is consid- cred proof of the genuineness of the ring, for the modern engraver seldom succeeds with that sureness of cut which is the wonder and admiration of all who are familiar with the engray. ing of the ancients.
 The ring, we are further told, al though gracing the hand of a court beauty of Egypt in the depths of the past ages, would not be much sought after by fashionable lady to-day.

PROF. J. H. HINEMoN, the erstwhile statewide prohibitionist" leader, is quoted in an Philadelphia dispatch as stating that he intends to vote for C.. c. Kavanaugh for governor. MT. Kav- anaugh, in his first speech of the cam paign, while declaring that he believed Statewide prohibition is unDemocrat- ic and unAmerican," professed that he would sign a prohibition bill if passed by the legislature. A few days ago at Van Buren, he abandoned all pretense of friendship for temper ance and came out boldly against pro- hibition. MT. Hinemon, it will be re- membered, was in frequent confer ences with MT. Kavanaugh before the latter announced for governor. With these facts before them, the voters of Arkansas will doubtless have no difficulty in forming their own conclu- Sionc
