CAUSE OF PELLAGRA

DR.. S. ]. Crumbine, dean of the Un-
iversity School of Medicine and Pro-
lessor S. j. Hunter of the department
of entomology, will go to Yates Gen.
ter next week to investigate case of
pellagra that has just been reported
to the state board of health. The
University is pushing forward its in-
designations into the cause of this
disease and is conducting laboratory
experiments and Investigations at Os-
wego and other favorable localities.
The theory that the disease Is con-
veyed by the sand fly is DOT yet proved
though generally adopted. Professor
Hunter and his assistants have made
collections of these insects in the
field. The evidence against the fly is
not conclusive since the organism
causing the disease and supposed to
be conveyed by the fly has not yet
been discovered as in the case Of
sleeping sickness and some other dis
eases formerly of mysterious origin.

Sewell stock will be moved across the

A LARGE ELECTRIC SIGN

One of the largest electrical signs
in the world is to be constructed by
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad on
its No. 2 elevator at Locust Point,
Baltimore harbor. 1t will be 525 feet
long, with the words baltimore x
Ohio Railroad on the apex or the
elevator, and "Locust Point Termi-
nails" directly under them. Each
letter will be 10 feet high, and the
whole sign will be surrounded by zoe
electric lights. 1t is expected that 1t
will be Visible over ten miles down
the bay. 1t will require in its con-
structlon Is tons of steel, 3 tons oil
galvanized iron and over 10000 feet OF
wire. 1t is estimated that the lights
will consume $1,000 watts per hour

SCHOOL WILL GIVE
MUSICAL COMEDY
Historical Story to Furnish IL
1ustration Of Students Prog
ress in Music.

"The Captain of Plymouth" is the
name of the musical comedy which
| will be staged in the Hetrick theatre
by students of the Chanute High
school on the evening of November %
which is the Wednesday before
Thanksgiving Day. The play is based
upon Incidents in the history Of the
New England colonies and will pre-
sent opportunity for about 100 voices.
AS it is largely musical production
it will be given underline direction of
Miss Woodson, the musical supervisor
of the schools, but Prof. W. M. Land
will direct the more distinctly dra-
matte part Of the play. 1t has beer
given quite successfully in othel
schools and the management expect
that it will be distinctly so here.
The purpose of presenting such
play is to show patrons Of the school
in one way what the students are able
to do from their musical training ano
to lend motive to the high school
members themselves for their efforts
along this line.
The instructors feel that the stu
dents will inevitably be more inter
ested in their musical study. Super
intendent Hughes believes moreover,
that the influence will also extend
advantageously to the pupils IN the
grades. "Pinafore" was given success
fully by the high school students last
year and this historical comedy SHOULD
lend itself even more completely to
furnishing thoroughly satisfactory
high school entertainment. The pro-
ceeds from its presentation will go IT,
the high school music fund for defray
ing the expense of the assembly song
books recently purchased and such
kindred uses
Miss Woodson also plans to have
the grade school pupils participate in
similar entertainments later in the
school year. Two of the ward schools
will probably combine for an enter
tainment shortly before Christmas
and then in the spring the other two
schools would cooperate.

SWANK AND TOMLINSON WILL GO

G. P. Swank, president of the
school board, and w. c. Tomlinson,
its vice president, will attend meet
ing of school officers to be held In
Topeka, November 10 and IL accord
ing to the vote of the board at It's
regular meeting Monday night. The
action was taken in response to a
letter from State Superintendent
Fairchild to Superintendent Hughes
which gave details of Round Table
to be held for the discussion OF
various problems of school adminis-
tration in Topeka in connection with
the regular annual State Teachers
Association on November and H.
The Chanute board thought it well
for this city to be represented ano
therefore elected their presiding
officers to mipgle with the other
educators of the state on that
occasion.
The board voted that the teachers
who should wish to attend the meet
ing should be allowed leave of
absence with full pay for the time
lost. 1t is probable that all OF the
high school teachers will go to Tope-
ka for the convention and also several
of the teachers in the grades. The
board also voted to permit the
teachers in the ward buildings to have
one day off when most convenient to
visit the other rooms having the same
grade.

THE SNAIL AND THE SCREW.

It Is no doubt true that nearly all human inventions have been suggest ed by natural objects. Mons. Charles Fremont, of the French School of Mines, points out an interesting ex- ample in the case of the screw, the fundamental idea of which, he be- lieves, was suggested to primitive man by the spiral shell of the edible snail. It was not the shape of the shell that suggested the screw, but the spiral motion which it is neces- sary to give to the body of the snail in order to withdraw it from the she'll. This at once showed that an object of screw shape embedded in a solid powerfully resisted attempts to withdraw it by straight pull. The hint was enough, and the screw became one of the earliest of mans inventions.-Youth's Compamon.

WASHED AWAY BY BIG WAVE
Sad Story of the Demise of Lizzie the Cat and Rags the Spanish
 Poodle.

Peter Jacobson, second mate of the steamship Amelia, leaned deject- edly over the side and refused to be comforted.
 "Yes," he said to inquirers, 'Liz- zie is dead"
 Deep silence in the presence of grief.
 "She was tortoise-shell cat, with one ear chewed off," the mate ex- plained. "She wasn't any beauty, I'll admit; neither was Rags, but they were the pride of the ship. Rags was black Spanish poodle-at least, he looked more like that than any, thing else. He and Liz used to eat out of the same dish and play around on the deck like brothers.

HAD COLD FEET AND C0RNS
Trouble That Made Mike, the Black Bear, Cry All Day Diagnosed
 by Park Policeman.

Mike, the black bear in the Gen. tral park menagerie, had cold feet, and as result cried all day. His trouble was diagnosed by one of the park police who has pounded" the menagerie walks for a number of years. In that time he has never missed in his prognostications.
 "I tell you he's got cold feet. That's all there is to it." he said. "And his corns hurt him, too. If you walked around on that concrete floor for all the years that Mike has you'd have corns also"
 "Maybe he stepped on a tack" the keeper suggested.
 "I should say not. If bear ever stepped on tack he would sit down and pull it out. That's a genuine case of cold feet and corns, believe me. What you want to do Is to get that bear hot brick right away"
 As there were no hot bricks avail able, Mike had to roll up in some straw in his den to get relief from the cold flooring of his cage.-New York Tribune.

BREEDS NEW KINDS OF FLIES
Columbia Professor Gets Curious Re. suits In Mutations of Form
 .~f and Color.

Some curious results have been ob- tained by Prof. T. H. Morgan of Co., lumbia university in the production of mutations of form and color by culture and breeding of the fruit fly" Drosophila ampelophila. By subjecting flies, pupae, larvae and eggs to the influence of radium rays, Professor Morgan produced one fly which had 'Fbeaded" wings By sub sequent breeding other flies with sim- liar wings were produced, and after 1Aany generations a stock has been developed that frequently gives, in reproduction, hundred per cent. of beaded wings. Other changes pro- duced and handed down from gene ration to generation include the shortening of the normally long wings of these flies until in some cases they have become relatively very short and truncated. From some of the truneated-wing stock flies have been developed which have only tiny scales instead of wings. Changes have also been developed in the color and marking of the wings and the color of the eyes. Many may won- der whether 1t would be possible to experiment with the house fly and breed both wings and legs out of ex- istence.-Youth's Companion.

ANTIQUARIAN TREASURE.

Two curious skeletons were discov- cred recently by workmen who were laying water mains near the old river Ivel, at Biggleswade, North Bed- fordshire, England, and they have now been removed to the British museum for the consideration of the British Antiquarian society. An tiquarians are of the opinion that they are the remains of Phoenician chieftain and his wife. As they are in good state of preservation, the relics are of almost priceless value. The skeleton of the male measured six feet six inches, and the head was massive. The woman was laid at right angles to the man, with her feet resting against the side of his body. Apparently, when her lord died, she was slain and buried with him, according to prehistoric cus- tom.
