tuberculosis is being fought even
in Northern Korea, according to a
recent report from DR.. Edwin M.
Kent, received by the Methodist
Board of Foreign Missions. DR.. Kent,
who is a medical missionary station
ed at Haiju, says that since he
established a dispensary at the little
hospital in that city, the people of
the entire community are leaving
their doors open at night, for few of
the houses have windows. The
native attendants at the hospital
are now so accustomed to the regu-
lar instructions about fresh air that
they call this sort of advice "yeggy,"
and at a sign from the doctor will
dispense volumes of it to the I'M
suspecting sufferer. Such has
become the hospitals reputation
for fresh air advice that a native
living in Haijv expressed himself
as only waiting for warm weather
before going to the hospital, fol"
said he, the doctor will urge me to
leave the door open and that is very
hard in cold weather"
Consumptives in Syria are treated
today much in the same way as the
lepers have been for the last 1000
years. tuberculosis is a compari-
lively recent disease among the
Arabs and Syrians, but so rapidly
has it spread that the natives are
in great fear of it Consequntly
when a member of a family is
known to have the disease, he is
frequently cast out and compelled to
die of exposure and want. A small
hospital for consumptives has been
opened at Beyrout under the di-
rection of DR.. Mary B. Eddy.

"OId Mems Corn Club"
From The Macon Telegraph

From The Macon Telegraph
The Boys Corn Clubs in Missis-
sippi are to have competition in the
odd Mems Corn Clubs" The far
mers of Estes Mill that state, have
called a meeting for the purpose of
forming permanent organization
The call asks that everybody take
part and lets get things lively.
Outsiders are to compete for the
prize and in the fall when all is
gathered we will have a day for
meeting and discuss our ways of
planting, cultivating and fertilizing.
Thus we are bound to loarn a lot
which we need to know"
The Meridian Star gives the credit
for this new movement to boys
clubs. The lesson from the boys
work has gone home. Because the
farmers have learned what they
know by hard work and practical
experience they frequently resent
interference with their methods and
refuse instruction. They prefer to
stick to their old methods rather
| than run after theories which they
do not understand which heretofore
the agricultural departments have
only disseminated in the shape of.
literature or by experts who did no
more than expound and often con-
fuse. 1t remained for the boys to
change all this. The Stan notes the
same result in Mississippi that has
been seen in other states.
Many an old farmer last spring
gave his boy an acre-generally one
of the poorest on the place-and
watch the young fellows work with
a sort of contemptuous amusement,
secretly proud of the boys industry
and enthusiasm, but throwing cold
water on his efforts and perhaps
even ridiculing him and grudging
him the time he spent in his prize
corp. But the boys turn to laugh
came in due season, when the acre
he had cultivated by the book"
produced twice or three times as
much as it had ever done before
and the old farmer learned with
surprise that there were more things
in heaven and earth than were
dreamed Of in his philosophy But
if the ola farmers are hard headed
and set in their ways. they are also,
as a general thing, men of strong
native good sense and intelligence
If the work of the boys had no
other effect than the forming of old
mems clubs it would repay the pro-
motors a hundred fold. Whether
the organization of such clubs will
spread to other states is not known,
but in many individual cases there
will be a new spirit injected into
the farmers of the South.

EVENTS AT POST
SPECTACULAR
q -
Cavalry and Artillery tHave
Day of Sport at
Leilehua.

There is nothing more inspiring, per-
haps, than the deeds of Uncle Sans
mounted men when out for a days
sport on the parade ground of large
post, and in the field day in which
cavalry and artillery took part at
Schofield Barracks yesterday there was
much of the spectacular.
Two artillery teams following a
snake trail between collapsible posts
which are set just a few inches wider
apart than the hubs of the caisson, go
ing at a gallop through the line, and
in many cases making the run without
touching a post, is remarkable sight.
The horse show, in which the men
put their mounts through their PAGES,
shows the intelligence of the animals,
and in the, horse tug war the ami
mails seem to take as much delight in
the sport as do their riders
There were few events for the men
: unmounted, but the great majority of
the days sports had to do with the
horses of the artillery and cavalry, and
the spectators who went out from town,
as we'll as the officers and men of the
post, were much entertained.

CRAFT SKINS
OVER WATER
Boat Shaped Hull Has Aerial
Propeller DriverABy Engine
and Six Planes.

LONDON, March.-An uncommon
craft, embodying the principles of the
hydroplane or skimming boat, and the
areoplane, is being tested at Cowes,
Isle of Wight. This strange vessel
can, it is said, rise from the surface
of the water make an aerial voyage,
and descend to float on the waves.
The aerohydroplane, as it is called,
was designed by M. Ravaud, a young
French aviator, and it has been built
under his personal supervision. The
hull consists of two hydroplane floats,
each about 20 feet long, supporting
the body of the machine overhead
This is a boat shaped hull or carriage
with an aerial propeller driven by
80 horsepower Gnome rotary engine
at the stern. The rudder is at the
bows. The boat" has four planes
fitted, two on each side, also small
ones on the floats Accommodation
is provided for three or four pas
sengers. Speed trials will be carried
out on the river Medina, after which
the aerohydroplane will be seen fit
ting about the Solent previous to be-
ing dispatched to Monaco.
