A Hard.worked Man.

Perhaps we do not realize 1t, but
the president of the United States is
one of the hardest worked men in the
republic. The head of big corpora
ton, E. H. Gary, for instance, can
slip away to Europe and the organi-
cation will run itself until he returns,
but the president, surrounded as he
is by a corps Of capable assistants
and advisers, must be on the job
practically every day in the year.
Today William H. Taft is the bus
lest official who holds high elective
position A governor can get away
from official cares-although his pay
may be docked if he stays away too
long-but the president must get his
vacation in driblets His vacations
consist OF fifteen-minute intervals in
which nobody actually is waiting to
see him

ment Tells How General Grant
Gave Signal for War.

The veterans were recalling war
scenes. One story did tread upon an.
others heels, so fast they followed,
and imagination increased with each
recital. Finally came the turn of old
Uncle Dell, ex-private in an Illinois
regiment.
I'VE was all lined up ready to begin
the battle of the Wilderness" he said,
when old Grant come ridin' down the
line to my regiment, and called out, Is
Lieutenant Dell Of Illinois here?'
Il happened to be back in the rear,
superintendin' bringin' up some ammu-
milton, and the colonel told him
would soon be back. Grant rode away

inquired. They told him no, an he

the streets, going about and meeting
his many friends. He was already the
favorite of the Democratic party,
which was then all powerful, and re-
mained so for several years.
He was then vastly different from
the man that l saw later in Quincy.
That was in 1860, when he was a sena-
tor. He had grown fleshy, his face had
lost the glow Of youth, his cheeks were
heavy and his eyes lacked their for
mer sparkle. His step was heavy.
Eight years had wrought a great
change.
THAT was the last time that l saw
him, but once again l heard his voice.
In 1858, the year of the Lincoln-Doug-
las debates, lay sick in Bloomington.
Senator Douglas came to address a po-
litical gathering. The meeting was
held two blocks away, and yet from
that distance and over the heads of
an immense crowd l heard his great
voice booming forth. 1t was a forced
voice, raised so that all might hear,
but at the distance / could not dis
tinguish the words.
81 also saw Abraham Lincoln and
heard him speak. My first view of
him was in Springfield, where, as
boy, went with my father and was
left alone in the law offices Of Edward
Baker. AS sat there a man came in,
peculiar in appearance by reason of
his great height and his ungainliness.
He sat down and drew his legs under
the chair. 1t made me think of a
grasshopper. Then some one came in
and addressed him as Mr. Lincoln
"Of the two men believe that Lin.
coin had the advantage before an audi.
ence, because he seemed more of the
people, though Douglas did not hold
himself aloof."

Many Wireless Operators Suffer-
ing With Toothach
Prediction Is Made That System viii
Cause Other Nervous Disorders
Among Those Who Expose
Themselves.

New Wireless toothache, due
TO the high tension electrical currents
produced In sending wireless mes
sages, is the latest disease discovered
by New York physicians, and 1t is said
hundreds of wireless operators, pro
fessional and amateur, in this city
and its neighborhood, are suffering
from it. Prediction also is made that
the heavy currents discharged by the
wireless telegraph will produce other
nervous diseases among those who
expose themselves too much to such
phenomena. There perhaps are thou
sands of amateur wireless operators IN
New York city. Investigation dis
closes that many of them have had
toothache since they began their wire
less studies and experiments. What
other diseases of nervous sort have
followed in the wake Of the current
only will be revealed by scientific in
Yestigation.
A prominent European physician dis
covered the wireless toothache, and
the bad effect Of the high tension cur
rents on the nerves of his patients.
He predicts there will be a general
increase of nervous ailments, due to
that cause That physician says the
neuronic elements are affected so by
the currents that low grade neuritis
is produced which progresses accord
ing to each patients general physical
condition, hygienic surroundings, oc-
cupation and habits. The European
investigator points out that the elec-
tricity artificially permeates the eur
rounding atmosphere and that a per-
son brought in contact with 1t, day
after day, must have a great consti,
tuition to withstand its effects. Weak
persons even may suffer from ag-
gravated forms Of nervous disorder by
the wireless process, he asserts.
When the European physician an
nounced the discovery Of wireless
toothache he was scoffed at by other
doctors, who had not studied the ques-
tion as he had. The discovery, how
ever, is being regarded seriously on
both sides of the Atlantic, and skilled
minds are seeking to discover what
other ailments may be caused by such
high tension currents being loose in
the air.
1t is recalled the X-ray affects the
skin and tissues insidiously and often
disastrously. Nor is it any secret
that persons who are compelled to
pass long periods in rooms where big
dynamos are in operation frequently
show neurotic tendencies. Physicians
who use the ultraviolet, high tension
and other forms of electricity in treat
ment often suffer neurotic affections
These things indicate, it is suggested,
that disease producing qualities lurk
in electricity of which little is known
as yet Third rails, live trolley wires,
teleghone and telegraph wires and
other agencies are discharging into
the air constantly currents Of elec-
tricity which pass through persons in
the streets and elsewhere, and there
are physicians who fear that as the
use Of electricity increases, wireless
telegraphy and telephony get in full
swing, wireless toothache will be

the pole a rope ladder with a shield is
fixed in place. The rope ladder is
tightened automatically as the pole is
swung into position. The protective

Baltimore Scientist and Wife

rem II. Lewis and his wife. Mrs. Mar
garet Reed Lewis, the former an asso-
ciate professor OF anatomy In Johns
Hopkins medical school, have discov-
cred the culture Of living cells in a
fluid OF known chemical composition.
Dr. Lewis has been experimenting
on the chick in the embryonic condi-
ton for some time. By experiment he
has finally succeeded in proving that
II is possible to cause the growth of
cellular substance, of which all ami
mails and plants are made up, in
saline solutions without the aid OF
nourishment The cells, It is be-
lieved, make use of food stored up
within them.
This is considered a remarkable
accomplishment for which scientific
men have striven for years. 1t was
not until about 1880 that the cell
theory was discovered, and since that
time there have been many new de-
velopments The theory up to the
time OF DR.. Lewis discovery was that
animals and plants generate from pre-
existing cells and do not rise spon-
taneously, and this theory has gen
orally been accepted. The object DR..
Lewis had in mind was the more
complete and detailed study Of differ
ent kinds Of cells. For this purpose
he took part of the intestines. heart,
liver, eye and brain, and inserted it
In solutions of different salts of a
known density.
He found that cells would grow in
distilled water with eight-hundredths
of one per cent Of salt He also
found that the development of the
cells would be better If four-hun-

dredths OF one per cent. OF potassium
chloride was added to the solution,
and still better If some nutrition,
such as sugar, was supplied.
AS a result of his experiments not
only did the existing cells enlarge, but
the actual formation OF new cells
took place without the aid of the net
work that is found in the plasma,
which heretofore was considered nee.
essary. Not only the regular forma.
tion of muscle fiber was brought
about, but also delicate nerve tissue
was formed. Or. Lewis stated that II
the specimen under examination was
magnitied 100000 times the actual
growth of the fiber could be seen.

which scientists look. and that is

possible the acquisition of that COM
pany by the United States Steel cor
poration. Mr.. Gates said he regarded
the transaction as a forced sale.
