Typhoid.
Secty

Wherever sanitary and medical
science is in control typhoid fever as
an army disease has disappeared.
Observe the difference between 1893
and 1911. In 1898, according to
the Army and Navy Journal, o,759
men were encamped at Jacksonville,
lila. The camp site was an excellent
one and the purity of the drinking
water was unimpeachable. Yet
there were 2,695 cases of typhoid
fever, of which 24S were fatal. The
so-called maneuver division which
was encamped in Texas this year
was 1869 strong. Neither the
camp site nor the water was any
better than in Florida, but there was
only one case of typhoid and that
not fatal.
Beside this fine record may be put
that made by the French army in
Morocco. OF the expeditonary
force of $1,000 men operating in
that country between April 81 and
June IS not one died from disease
of any sort. The sick rate was
below the normal.
The freedom from typhoid of the
soldiers in Texas cannot be ascribed
entirely to better camp sanitation.
The anu-typhoid vaccination now
pracuced in the army contributed
greatly to that freedom. The one
man who did have typhoid had taken
only two doses and had not com
pleted his immupization.
Where there is no epidemic oi
typhoid immunity can be had
through anti-typhoid vaccination.
1t is none the less the duty of every
one to wage incessant war on flies,
the carriers of that disease. II
individual effort shall kill them off
while municipal officers sec to 1t that
the milk and the water are free from
pollution, We shall have no typhoid
epidemics.

AN English magazine writer who

why? Mr.. Taft became President

In &C nd icting his investigation of
the theft of Leonardo da Vinci's
masterpiece "Mona Lisa" the juge
dinstruction discovered a condition
of affairs iu the Louvre Museum
which is regarded by Frenchman as
great calamity as the loss of the
famous painting. The incompet-
ence of the employees. most of whom
are prOteges and, practically, ap-
pointees of Senators and Deputies
seems almost incredible. On the
day of the theft not one of the many
curators was present at the museum,
and in the evening, ten hours after
the disappearance of the picture,
when its purloinment had become
known in the remotest corners oi
The civilized world, the head keeper

ABOUND the world in eighty days
seemed to Jules Verne to be a feat
suffi ciently marvellous to be made
the subject of one of that imagin-

wonder was somewhat abated when
a slip of girl accomplished with
some degree of comfort, and by
using only the regular means of
communication, what Jules Nerne's
hero was imagined to have achieved
by superhuman energy and contempt
of death. Nellie BLY, held the palm

cut the record down TO 6s days.

Elephants With Human Sense.

Possibly no other animal in the
world has the fascination for the
Riddles and the grown-ups as well,
as has the elephant. We all
remember the first elephant that we
saw at the first show we attended.
1t indelibly impressed itself on our
mind. oh the JOY we had in feeding
it peanuts and popcorn. So the
mere announcement that the show is
coming again, revives the pleasant
thoughts of boyhood days. The
first thing that attracts our attention
on the show bills Is the elephant
and the many curious stunts that he
is expected to do.
Sun Brothers Shows that appear
here on Wednesday, Sept. I3, will
present a special feature a coterie
of trained elephants that are "broke"
to perform all the newest acts
I'm lginablc and all that they do really
borders upon the marvellous. These
great mountains Of flesh will be seen
at every performance dur NJ their
engagement in this city, in what is
claimed to be the greatest pachyderm
performance ever projected.
The characters les Of the elephant
are interesting. There are two dis
tinct species of elephants the In
dian elephant. inhabiiiug Asia, and
the African elephant. The latter
may be distinguished from the Aail-
TIC 10y the dimensions of The heId
which is shorter, rounded and some
what convex. The ears are of enor-
nous size, covering the back of the
head and neck. Ia the African
species both the male and the female
have tusks, those of the male being
larger and heavier than those of the
female.
1t is also larger in size than the
Asialic species. All elephants are
fond of bathing, their large bodies
being of great advantage to them in
swimming. When they swim in
deep water ihey erect their trunks
through which they breathe, and by
doing SO they have no fear of being
drowned.
The Asiatic elephants are generally
supposed to be more intelligent and
docile, also much superior in
strength than those Of Africa.
The elephants seen with Sun
Brothers show this season are of
the Asiatic variety and are splendid
specimens.
The exact date of this big show here
is Wednesday, Sept. IS, and the big
outfit will be located on the ground
a. the depot. a number of sensa-
tioDal free shows are announced to
be given at 1880 p. IN, on the show

A TOWN in Illinois has adopted a
