IMMUNITY FROM CANCER

There has been found in some animals
a natural immunity from cancer, and
that immunity can be artificially in
duced. This immunity is either active
or passive. The Croker Fund has found
it possible to immunize animals by in
jections of killed cancer cells prepared
in such a as to leave intact the
active substances. Moreover, cases of
spontaneous recover of human patients
are known to exist. Why did they re-
cover? They can ony be accounted for
if such a thing as immunity does really
exist. The problem is to find out what
this immunity is and how to produce it.
Its existence is certain. DR.. Enrich,
for instance. has done much in the
study of artifcially produced immunity
from cancer in small animals. He has
found that if mice are inoculated with
an inactive strain of cancer they throw
it off and later if an active cancer strain
is inoculated they have acquired i'm
munity from it.
Almost any time now one may hear
that some n has at last read this rid
die of cancer. # rom ''Triumphs of
Medicine in the December Metropolitan

CAUGHT THE conner.
An Accident Spoiled an Ingenious
Counterfeit PASSING Schsme.

An Accident Spoiled an ingenious
Counterfeit Passing Scheme.
A case which shows the ingenuity
used in passing counterfeit coin is the
following: A tailor, who also was a
very successful coincr, had a little
daughter who was some ten years old.
She vas being taught to play the VIC
lin, and twice q week she went to have
q music lesson at q house about a mile
distant. Once a week the innocent
little thing carried besides her violin
case and violin a package cunningly
secreted in the false bottom Of the VIC.
lin case, which contained some twenty
or more pieces Of counterfeit coin.
The music master, q rogue who was
In the know, found no difficulty in alb
etracting the package unnoticed by the
child and in his turn passed it on to a
woman "fence," who again gave it to
a male friend, who delivered it safely
to the "u%tterer," a woman again, at a
street corner, the package being this
time concealed in the false bottom 40f
a canary cage. Thus 1t passed through
six hands, and besides the man him
self only the music master knew who
manufactured the coin.
The tailor was caught by an acct.
dent. His little girl let the violin case
fall in the street, the bottom of the
case was smashed, and all the coins,
done up in tissue paper, fell into the
street. The child, much mystif1ed,
opened one of the little packages, and
the glitter caught n policeman's eye,
This mishap led to the instant arrest
Of the tailor, who confessed, hoping
for a light sentence, a hope which was
not realized. Among the coiner's
stock In. trade were discovered two
works on chemistry. fourteen molds
two batteries, plaster Of paris, two Ia
dies. a melting pot, crucibles and a
quantity Of chemicals.-London Tele.

INTERNATIONALLY HEARING
GIRL WON'T TELL FACTS

When the state case against Hughie
Mckever and John Connolly was called
for preliminary examination before
Justice A. P. Folsom the expected hap
pened. Senator L. A. Simpson and
Attorney T. F. Murtha were sparing
for time and fled afidavits Of prejudice
resulting in q change Of venue, the case
aoine to H. K. Nichols, police maeis-
trate. s''
Judge Nichols took the matter up
promptly and set for December 1. as
the date. for examination. This was
satisfactory to States Attorney M. L.
Mcbride. who alone is conducting the
prosecution.
The examination was held behind
closed doors in Judge Nichols office in
the First National bank building.
Bernice Eyer, eldest daughter of r.
W. Eyer, a Northern Pacific brakeman,
proved to be an unwilling witness for
the state. She was II years of age in
July. and on the stand attempted to
make it appear that the boys were hold
ing her hands and that in some way she
was pushed onto the library lawn and
that vas about all there was of it. The
chief of police came along then. She
knew about the boys drinking that
night, etc.
Among the witnesses called were
Chief of Police P. B. Corbett. j. F.
Davis, B. Lepper. Mrs. A. L Peck and
Harold Peck. These witnesses told of
the compromising position the girl and
boys were found in and gave such evil
dence as should convince any court OF
jury Of the seriousness of the offense.
The McKeevercase was called first and
if he is held to district court, as Gems
probable from the evidence. it is not
likely that any examination will be
asked for in the Connolly case. as the
same evidence would hold him.
Attorney Mcbride is having an up
hill fight in this case. In the first place
the father of the girl did not care to
sign the complaint. He was not pres
ent at the hearing on Thursday or Fri
day. file should have been present. Of
course the defense will say that he was
present in Justice FoIsom's Office on
Monday, but they knew that they we're
going to take a change of venue.
Later-The examination of the Nc
Keever cas- was concluded at noon on
Friday, and the boy was bound over to
district court in the sum of $500. At
the time of going to press it was ex-
pected that the Connolly case would be
taken up at once. Attorney Mcbride
will do his best to get the cases tried
during the December term of district
court.

Dreaded Premature Burial.

Meyerbeer, like many other notable
people, went in dread of premature
burial and left the most elaborate d.
rections with Il view to preventing
such a contingency. "My body Is to
remain untouched for a period of four
days after my death Is certified, with
the face uncovered and in exactly the
same position as at the time l I'm sup
posed to have passed away. On the
fifth day incisions are to be made in
the throat and in the feet" He also
directed that two men should be ap-
pointed to watch over him day and
night in case he should give any
signs of life and that bells should be
attached to his hands and feet.

The Authors Reversible Boat That
Was a Halfway Success.
George Henty. the author of boys
stories. is described in "Sixty Years
In the Wilderness" by Henry W. Lucy,
as the warmest hearted, shortest tenn
pered man in the world.
Before he found his true vocation
in writing boys books Henty tried
various methods Of s%upplementing his
salary on the Standard. One was the
recovery Of tin from broken or disused
utensils. For some months his study
was filled with q bad smell and scraps
of broken tin. The smell was engen-
dered by efforts to melt off the tin
from the baser metal with the assist.
ance Of Il chemical compound invent
ed by the operator.
"The next thing that ATTRACTED Hen
tvs attention and filled him with hope
Of fortune was the building of a re-
versible boat, bound to right itself au-
tomatically. He took rooms up the
a village mechanic, built his boat. To
a certain extent it proved an unqualf.
fed success. At the slightest well d.
rected touch, sometimes without it, it
would turn over, keel uppermost, with
Henty in the river. Righting itself
was, as the French say, another pair

1.-THE EVIDENCE AGAINST FERRER

1.-THE EVIDENCE AGAINST FERRER
In his concluding article on the Ferrer
case, in the December Mcclure s, Will
liam Archer gives instances of the I'M
fair ''evidence'' used against Ferrer-
as in the following case of Two of his
anarchist documents which were sent
the rounds of the press:
THE Sumario, or collection of evil
dence, is by rule and custom absolutely
private: yet here were two documents,
on the face of them most compromising,
allowed to leak out, and passing from
newspape to newspaper. In one of the
documents, moreover, as communicated
10 the press, a word of some importance
was %misquoted. When the document
was cited by the Assessor it appeared
that n of the paragraphs ended with
the phrase viva la anarquial" But
in the version sent to the newspapers
the word dinamita was substituted for
anarquia. These slips of the pen are q
little unfortunate when a human life is
at stake
