The case below Is only one of the
many dangerous cases that could be
avoided.
DR.. ]. H. Holman Of Little Rock.
Ark, under date of March 81, 1909,
writes in part:
Il have prescribed your Consump-
ton remedy to a well developed Con-
sumptive. Her condition was of such
character as to confine her to her bed.
She has used your remedy for only
two weeks, and / have no hesitancy
in saying that your remedy has made
wonderful change In her condition.
It is the one remedy that will IN any
manner destroy the malady.'
tuberculosis is merely an aggravat-

if in the early stages or at first indi-
cations of Consumption POMONA is

gradually extended my study to in
clude such wild animals and reptiles
as the bear, the lizard and the rattle
snake. Using a system of hieroglyph-
les modelled upon the modern Chinese
system, | have compiled dictionary
OF the language of the ordinary brown
or hearth cricket, which has the most
highly developed language of any of
the animals | am familiar with. though
| have reason to suspect the monkeys
are superior In this respect. From my
dictionary find there are II ele-
mental words or sounds, and 50 otner
words made up of various comb1na-
tons of the original ~, a cumulative
system not unlike that of the Ger
mans. The number of words or SOUNDS
In other animal languages am Ia
miliar with varies from IL to 95.'
Although Mr.. Kellogg admits that
his ability to interpret the enuncla-
tons of animals is the result OF long
and arduous study, he insists that MS
ability to make himself understood. TO
initiate the sounds Of these animals
is God-given. He says he can without
the least difficulty reproduce any
sound that comes from an animafs
throat. He has peculiarly construct
ed palate, no tonsils, and the cord
connecting the teeth with the lower
! lip is entirely missing, but he mas
been assured by the most noted spe-
cialists that there is nothing abnorm-
al about his throat and vocal cords.
They are at a loss to account for ms
strange gift.

Of 70 miles or more, and weighs 2,4O0

C0NVERsEs WITH ANIMALS

Charles Kellogg of California. who,
If not a nature-faker, Is one of the
most remarkable human beings Of all
time, arrived at Cambridge, Mass, re
Gently from Paris to confer with pro-
fessors from Harvard's department OF
science, confident that he could con-
vince them of his ability to converse
with animals. Mr.. Kellogg has just
returned from Europe. where he gave
demonstrations of his unique power
before professors Of the universities
of Paris and Berlin. According 70
Mr.. kellogg, he has accomplished In
reality during a life spent in the Wllds
of the Sierra Nevada mountains IN
California what the genius OF Ripping
makes Mowgli accomplish during a
childhood passed in the tropical Jun
giles. But Kellogg has for friends only
the animals of the temperate Amerl-
can west. He knows not the language
of the tropical monkey, though he mas
often talked "bear" with the grizzlies
Of the Sierra Nevadas. CrlcKets'
squirrels, lizards and ratt1esnakes are
some of the other animals whose IAN
guages Mr.. Kellogg speaks fluently.
Says Mr.. Kellogg:

servation and associat1ng OF SOUNDS

FRENCH FISH GO ON A JAG

An unusual sight was witnessed at
Frontignan, France, recently. The
ponds of Faux Blanches and the Midi
Canal were covered with fish floating
about on the surface in a helpless and
altogether inexplicable manner. The
customs officials were the unwilling
cause of this phenomenon. They had
seized $4,000 gallons of 'doctored"
Spanish wine at the frontier station
and disposed of it by emptying 1t into
the canal, with disastrous effects on
the fish. The fish could be easily
caught with the hand and the local
fishermen were quick to take advan-
tage of their helpless state.

MYSTERIOUS AFRICAN LAKE

Lieutenant Graetz, German OH
Ger is making his way across the Al
rican continent from the indian
ocean to the Atlantic in motor boats
his chief uDjsct being the exploration
Of the mysterious Bangweolo lake,
which discharges into the zambesl rlv-
er.
This sheet of water, except at the
point where the Zambesi river leaves
it, is surrounded with miles OF reeds,
and no white man has ever sailed It's
surface. The natives tell curious tales
of what is to be found within its
swampy enclosures. On the Islands
which, they aver, stud the lake, are
to be found colossal elephants and tall
giraffes. while in the waters sea-ser-
penis and other strange and TERRI
Bile creatures are concealed. From the
surface of the lake itself declare the
natives, hot springs sprout into the
air, and pestilential winds sweeping
across the marshes carry death and
destruction to all living things.
OF the few natives who have ever
yentured out upon the BangWeolo lake
in their small frail canoes, none have
ever returned to tell the tale OF their
adventures. Lieutenant Graetz thinks
that unknown species Of animal and
marine life may possibly exist in this
hitherto unexplored region, and 1t is
to test this superstition that he has
started out in thirty-foot boat fitted
| with five horsepower petrol motor
| to cross the African continent.
