There is positively no limit to the fool
things rabbit will do, once 1t is fair
ly started on its way Then the ex-
perimenter drew of from this exhaust
ed rabbit a quantity of serum which he
injected into two fresh rabbits These
fresh rabbits he now placed in revolv-
ing cages, and, as check, or control
experiment, he at the same time
placed two fresh uninjected rabbits in
two other cages, and then put on the
power.
Away went the revolving cages
Trust a rabbit for doing any desired
quantity of purely improbable labor!
But our experimenter found precisely
what he was expecting. The injected
rabbits were quickly exhausted, where.
as the uninjected ones merrily whirled
their cages, both of them as fresh as
daisy and veritable gluttons for
work.
The first point was proved. Inject
into fresh animal the serum of a
fatigued animal, and the fresh animal
is at once, without stroke of work,
fatigued in a degree that varies with
the size of the dose. But the main OBJ
ject of the experiment was to produce
an anti-toxin for fatigue; serum that
would make the rabbits immune to
fatigue. The experimenter by repeat
eddy treating a fresh animal with in
creasing doses of serum from a
fatigued animal, believed it possible
that the body of the treated animal
would react against the poison in such
a way that new doses would have no
effect. By taking the serum of this
now immune animal and injecting it
into the body of another and fresh an
imal, the experimenter hoped to make
this last rabbit immune and able to
work indefinitely without fatigue!
The results of these latter expert
ments do not seem to have been quite
as satisfactory as were those of the
former.
While the body of the injected rab-
bit would react to a certain degree
against the injected poison, it would
not react more vigorously than it
would to the toxin of fatigue produced
in the ordinary way by labor; at least
the results in the second line of expert
ments we're not what might be called
startlingly encouraging.
And yet it is not to be expected that
this patient German will let his idea
go by default. The secret Of success
in all scientific research is a patience
and power of waiting that are almost
godlike. In these desirable qualities
the German mind excels all others;
and the Germans therefore lead the
world in this kind of unremunerative
and slavish toll. But if he did not
succeed at one coup in banishing
fatigue from. labor, our German has
made a good start No doubt in time
an anti-toxin for fatigue will be dis
covered. No doubt the Edison of the
future when he desires to work week
or two without resting will only be re-
Quired to apply at necessary intervals
to the nearest doctor for the injection
of the few hundred units" of the anti
toxin needed, and merrily work away
Nor is it to be imagined that he will
permit his pupils and assistants to
doze away valuable time behind the
bales In the warehouse when few ad-
dttlonal units will keep them whistling
like sawyers at their work for three or
four weeks at time.

TY COBB IS FOOLED
In One of Chicago-Detroit Worlds
Championship Games Miner Brown
Outguessed SIugger.

A striking example of pitcher out
guessing the batter is afforded in one
of the Chicago-Detroit games for the
world championship, says the Outing.
The Tigers came to bat in the fourth
inning with the score to against
them. Both teams were playing close
from the opening inning it had been
conservative baseball, with no daring
chances. O'Leary, the chunky De-
troit shortstop, led off with single
and big Crawford followed with an
other. O'Leary was stopped at Sec
ond.
1t looked like a Detroit rally, and
the crowd was stamping it's feet and
uttering joyous bowls. Cobb danced
up to the plate with his confident
swagger. Everybody knew he would

outguess Cobb. He delivered ball
that Cobb could bunt with the great
est accuracy. He actually invited
Cobb to make the play that seemed
SO advantageous to Detroit.
But, with the delivery, Brown
dashed from the pitchers box to a
position on the foul line halfway be-
tween third and home. 1t was exact
ly where Cobb dropped his perfect
bunt from the perfect pitch. So
Brown swooped on the ball and drove
it to Steinfeldt, forcing out O'Leary,
who was speeding from second to
third. So astonished were the Tigers
at this magnificent outguessing Of
Cobb that Crawford, mulling over the
play at second base was caught on
a throw by Catcher King.

Tulsa, Okla, Oct. 20-J. B. Wilson,
Tulsa's famous insane inventor, is
again at large and the police are
searching for him. Wilson. who in
vented what he calls "a new smoke
less, noiseless, explosive, more power
full and Obstructive than nitro-glycer-

lunatic in the country. He has been
adiudged insane four different time
and sent to the asylum. Three times
he has escaped from the asylum at
Norman, Okla. and once from the
train while being taken to the insti-
tuition by a deputy sheriff
He always returns with the avowed
intention to kill County Judge N. J.
Gubser and Assistant Chief of Police
J. J Moran, who have been instru-
mental in sending him to the asylum.
On one occasion following his escape
from the asylum he attacked Moran
in First street store, and attempted
to brain him with a club, but was
knocked down by another policeman.

NO MOVE MADE IN
NJ 'NAMARA CASE
District Attorneys Assistants Busy
Lining Up Witnesses to Cor.
roborate McManigal's Story

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 23.-With the
exception of Judge Walter Bordwell,
who read and re-read a tangled record
containing divers answers of three
talesmen under examination last week
and challenged for bias, no move was
made Sunday by any of the principal
figures in the case of James B. Nc
Namara, on trial for murder resulting
from the explosion of the Times build
ing here a year ago
Clarence S. Darrow, chief counsel for
the defense. visited James B. McNa-
mara and his brother, John J., secre-
tary of the International Bridge and
Iron Workers, and talked with them
in their cell for nearly an hour.
Darrow declared that nothing new
had developed requiring any confer.
enee with the prisoners, but that his
visit was purely one of courtesy
District Attorney John D. Fredericks
spent the day in the country, but var
ious members of the staff concerned
themselves further with preparations
for todays session of court when it is
expected that Judge Bordwell Will rule
on the three talesmen under challenge
for cause-George w. Mckee, for pref
udice against labor unions; E. c. Rob.
inson and A. r. Mcintosh, for scruples
against capital punishment lmmedi-
ately the talesmen are disposed of the
jury box will be filled up again, as at
present it is half empty
The most active of the district attor-
ney's staff is the squad that is working
on the evidence expected from wiz
nesses for the state. Attention is be-
ing given especially to lining up those
witnesses who are expected to corrob-
crate the alleged confession of Ortie
E. McManigal, admittedly the strong
est card of the prosecution.
McManigal is in frequent conference
with members of the states attorneys
Office and detectives allied with that
side of the case. He sat in his cell
yesterday talking and confidently about
his part in the case.
When the newspaper men entered,
surprise was expressed at his robust
appearance.
Yes, there will be more than one
surprise before this case is over" said
McManigal quickly as he played host
with several small chairs which he
moved nearer to his callers.
He talked rapidly and without hest
tation, answered questions glibly, even
indulging occasionally in a bit of re-
miniseence on incidents occurring in
the Wisconsin woods, where he and
James B. Mcnamara were supposed to
have been hunting together a year ago.
Finally the question was put to him
as to why he had made the reported
confession.
Well" he answered with a drawl.

CRUSADE AGAINST
TIE BAD MEAT

Trenton, October 9.-Tuberculosi;
cattle is being sold in this State for
food, according to charge made by
DR.. r. B. Fitz Randolph, head of the
Chemical Bureau of the State Board of
Health, who has come into prominence
recently because of his crusade
against decayed eggs in storage, and
the canned horse case in North Jer-
sey. Doctor Fitz Randolph says there
are about 100000 dairy COWS in New
Jersey, many of them being imported.
He declared:
THE State inspection of these i'm
ported animals is not what it ought
to be and the result is that many ami
mails whose lungs or other organs are
infected with tubercular germs get
into the State and are later slaugh-
tered. The meat is then sold to con-
sumers 1t is impossible with our
present force to cope with this traffic
or ameliorate conditions to any degree
~" = NNiAA III hOpC tllttC VIC Will UG dU tc
to do so before long. The cooperation
of municipal authorities is needed, and
| am confident that We will get it."
DR.. Isaac Shaw, former United
States meat inspector, now employed
in the State Board of Health Depart
ment under Doctor Fitz Randolph, has
made public statement to the effect
that poisonous bob veal and tubercular
meat is being sold in Trenton He
visited a South Trenton abbatoir a
few days ago, where he said he found
the conditions that gave rise to his
statement DR.. George Harker, NUM-
cipal inspector, had examined the meat
and stamped his approval on it. Doc
tor Shaw ignored this fact and pre-
vented the sale of the meat. A con-
ference has been arranged of the State
and city health authorities for to-
morrow to take the matter under con-
sideration.

CANDIDATES
ARE NOT BARRED

County Clerks are not justified
under the new election laws in re
fusing to print the names uf candi-
dates upon the official ticket at the
regular election in November, al
though the candidates may have failed
to file statements of their expenses
after the primary election, according
to an opinion of Assistant Attorney
fbGeneral Nelson B. Gaskjll. The
Eopinior has just been rendered in
response to an inquiry from q. Howell
Mitchler, clerk Of Warren county.
Mr.. GaskIll holds that while such
allure subjects the candidate to the
criminal penalty in the corrupt
practices act, it does not make him
forfeit the right to have. his name on
the official ballot. -
The decision effects several cases in
this county. For instance, Edward
Foley, Democratic candidate for
coroner failed to file his expense &C
count, but under the decision will be
entitled to have his name on the
ballot. In like manner the decision
affects Clifford, Richardson and
