1t was stated at the conclusion of
court that suit may be instituted in
the supreme court against Mrs. Has

the meantime. however, Judge Conlan
awarded the cat to Mrs. Hastings.
Some weeks ago Mrs. Hastings took

Paris Physicians Discovery Interests
Medical congress-Uses Heat
In Treatment.

Paris.-Interest in the physiothera-
pic congress has been conferred in an
address describing a new cure for can
Ger by Doctor Doyen. He calls the
treatment electrothermic coagulation.
In explaining. Doctor Doyen said:
There is one predominant fact In
the surgical relapse or reinoculation
of the disease after an operation.
THE phagocytes are disseminated
after surgical operation like seeds
scattered by the wind and become the
nucleus of a fresh cancerous growth.
In my experiments observed that the
diseased cells may be destroyed by
heat. Healthy cells of the body can
withstand heat up to 140 degrees,
whereas cancerous cells are destroyed
by heat at 131 and even 122.
This lower degree Of vitality, there
fore. may play an important part in
the treatment of cancer. 1t opened
up new way Of treating 1t.
Through the living tissues, even at
a considerable depth, temperature
above 122 would kill the diseased cells
without injuring the healthy ones.
Il solved the problem by means of
electro-coagulation obtained Their
mai effect by the help of a particular
device which ! conceived.

EXPECT HIGH SPEED

The longest multiple trains in the
world soon will be put into service in
the District railways tubes in Lon
don. The company has found that
even by operating SO trains an hour 1t
cannot fully cope with the rush of pas
sengers at certain times of the day.
1t has been decided. therefore. to in
crease the length of trains, and those
to be put in service will be 600 feet
in length, comprised of II coaches
with seating capacity of 1920 passen-
gers. The company also is consider
ing the question of the abolition of
straphanging. But even if the straps
are removed from the cars there will
be handles attached to the seats for
the convenience of those passengers
who may have to stand up.

His Application for
Whisky.

The town of Dedham is under pro-
hibition law, apothecaries alone being
permitted to sell alcoholic stimulants.
The other day son of the Emerald
Isle entered drug store there, and,
taking bottle from his pocket, asked
for a quart of whisky. The salesman
asked to what use it was to be put,
and the reply was:
ITO soak roots in it."
The order was filled, and the clerk.
after handing over the bottle and its
contents, inquired, in a conversational

BUILD PANAMA ROAD.

Minister Of Foreign Affairs Confcrs
With President Taft and Secretary
of State Knox - English
Capital Sought Line.

Parama.-By a contract signed the
other day Uncle Sam embarks in the
business of railroad building in Latin
America. American engineers are to
undertake at once the survey of the
Panamanian link in the Pan-American
railroad, 300 miles from the city of
Panama to David. the commercial GEN.
ter of the northern end of the repub-
lie. and by the time the national as
sem5ly meets next fall the govern
ment will have ready to submit a
proposition for the construction of the
line As an extension of the present
Panama railroad. which is the proper
ty of the United States.
The argument with which Panama
has prevailed upon the United States
to go outside the limits of the canal
zone and build railroads for the 18TH
mian republic is in brief this:
Either the American government
shall build this link in the information.
al railroad system in order to control
the approaches by land to the Panama
canal. or English, French or German
capital will do it, and America will
have just so much more to do to for
tify the water way"
English capital was bidding for the
line through W. Harcourt Palmer. an
Australian engineer. who has estab-
lished here mandatory for his safe
ty explosive. "Palmerite," which the
canal commission is adopting as sub
stitute for dynamite. Palmer has
been the American governments fore
most competitor. and Panamanian Of
hcials have not hesitated to declare
that Palmers bid has been used as a
CLUB upon the state department and
President Taft.
Conclusion of this railroad deal with
Uncle Sam was the principal object of
the recent visit to Washington of
Sato Lewis. Panamanian minister of
foreign affairs.
He had reached an understanding
with President Taft and Secretary
Knox. when the unexpected death of
President Obaldia recalled him to
Panama. He was assured in Washing

Another way would be to reduce

train. the object being to utilize the
resistance of the atmosphere to lift
the weight from the track and there
by reduce the track resistance.
THE third method would be not to
run the train through the air at all.
This could be done by running 1t in
a tube from which the air had been
exhausted in advance of the speeding
train by powerful pumps.
"Of course, in addition to the
driving of the electric motors in the
ordinary way. power for propulsion
would be obtained owing to the pres
sure of the atmosphere acting on the
rear of each carriage. That also
would supply air for the passengers to
breathe. None of the methods are
impossible. 1t is all merely a mat
ter of money.

The horsepower required for high
speed means weight, and the monorail

the contention that such system can

hour seems not to have a very solid
foundation. The expense of running
