For 1. 400 years the Faust legend

has existed. The first recorded hint
of its vitality Is given in the sixth
century story of 'Theophilus. That
story suited the early Christians in
their efforts to stamp out the necro-
mancing devices OF evilly-dlspOsed
persons prone to seek power by
unholy means. The association of The
name of Faust. however, with the !e.
gend is not more than 400 years o d.
The likeliest prototype of the mo ern
Faust is the man of the same ZANE
who In CracOw boldly proc aimed him

Cure for Warts.

A wart is essentially an outgrovtt
Of the scarf skin. II may be brought
about by friction. Hence 1t may be
found on the quite healthy skin of a
healthy person. Just as corn may be
found. But warts sometimes come
without friction. and they come nu
merously. SO proving that there m ist
be some internal cause. WaTt crops
are specially apt to appear between
early childhood and the sixteenth year.
They are found usually in children OF
poor physique. They have been
known to make sudden appearance
when the child has fallen into poor
health and to go away when the
health has improved. Small doses Of
ealcined magnesia in water taken
daily during many weeks or months
lave been found efiectnAi in getting
rid Of these warts.

The Nature of Radlobes.

A year ago a considerable sensa-
tion was caused by the announcement
OF Mr. Burke of Cambridge. England,
that through the action OF radium
upon sterilized gelatin he had pro-
dueed what appeared to be living
germs. to which he gave the name of
radiohes. Mr.. Burke has since written
a book ON these enigmatical things.
More recent experiments by Mr.. W. A.
d. Rudge indicate that radiobes are
not In any sense living things, and
that they are not even a product OF
radio-actiyity. Mr.. Rudge shows that
they are precipitates Of an insoluble
sulphate due 10 the presence of bari
UNI. and that their growth" is simply
a chemical process. Radioactive sub
stances. Mr.. Rudse says. never pro
duce "radiobes." except when they
contain barlum.

local traditions was as follows;
When the settlement had become
sufficiently populous to need postof

petition to Washington to have one
established. In due course the peui-
ton was granted and he was asked to
suggest a name that would please the
people. He replied. The people are
not particular 60 long as the name is

But Prof. Herbert R. Moody points out

do not undergo change that can be
