Doctors are disagreeing very seriously
over a new typhoid vaccine, invented by
Professor Metchnikoff. His method of
prevention consists broadly of the innocu-
lation of living germs of typhus, suitably
treated by a technical process In an
nouncing his discovery to the Paris Acad-
envy of Medicine. Professor Metchnikoff
stated that experiments hitherto made in
the same direction with sterlized vaccine
that is to say, vaccine containing only
dead germs, had more or less failed.
Now Professor Vincent, in the same
Academy, challenges Professor Metchnik-
offs assertion vehemently. He not only
maintains that vaccination with steril-
lied or defunct baccili has been success
iul, but that it is the only safe method
Any incubation of healthy persons with
living baccilli by any process whatsoever
lie describes as "fraught' with POSSIBLE
tiles of serious danger"
But Professor Metchnikoff retorts that
1850 NEGOTIATIONS upon 745 persons have
proved vaccination with living typhoid
bacilli TO be harmless. Three chimpanzees
were inoculated with much more viru-
lent culture, and the result was the same
There is no danger, either, that the inoc-
ulated persons should catch typhoid or
that they should spread contagion. Fin
ally, although the experiments have not
yet been carried on long enough to allow
of definite conclusions being arrived at,
II is more than probable thai the vac
cination of the persons mentioned has
rendered them impervious to typhoid. Tn
short, the two professors specialists in
bacteriology, contradict each other dia-
metrically on the question of typhoid
lever In the circumstances the ayman
must leave the quarrel at that.
The housing problem. of which great
deal has been heard of late. is now being
tackled in q business-like manner. A

Paris, August -(Special.)-Having sue
ceeded within an almost incredibly short
time in wiping out the thousands of opium
dens at Marseilles, Toulon and Paris, the
government is now turning its attention
towards measures which will diminish the
rapidly increasing consumption of alb
sinthe which forms one of the greatest
dangers to the French nation. During
last year alone the consumption made an
enormous and quite unprecedented leap of
over one million gallons and commits
sion appointed to study its effects entirely
confirmed the indictment of the National
League Against Alcoholism that ABB
s.nthe is the source of madness and
crime; it causes epilepsy and consumption,
1t makes the husband brute, the wife
martyr. and the child a degenerate.
All the same, there are difficulties in the
way of the suppression of the trade in alb
sinthe The manufacturers are powerful
corporation, and the state receives from
the sale of this drink s10000,000 a year and
the communes little less than $50 600
In the words of NJ. Galliaux, "a wave
from the depths" is to be feared If all the
aDSlnIile uf1uheIS VI y idiiSS SAiiSnE -
cruited from the lower classes-are TO be
deprived of their favorite liquor. For
these reasons the government has aban-
doned the idea of complete Introduction
of the sale of absinthe. 1t has been dis
covered that the principal poison in abb
sinthe is a vegetable substance, thyion,
so that the suggestion is that distllers
should have the right to produce liquid
and label it absinthe, If need be, so long
as it be free of this pernieious ingredient
Further, no plant containing thylon snail
henceforth be used in French distilleries,
and of these plants absinthe or NORWOOD
is the chief From now on, then, 1t looks
as If we should have an absinthe which
is not absinthe. Whether 1t will be any
less pernicious is at least doubtful The
Gbsinthe manufacturers profess them
selves entirely satisfied with this compro-
mise, a fact in itself suspicious

Among the most famous megalithic
monuments is the tumulus on the little is
land of Cavrinis, in the Gulf of Morbihan.
Archeaeologists term it "the pearl of
Celtic antiquities 1t is formed of % slabs
Of stone, some at least six feet in length.
The surface of these immense slabs is
adorned with curious markings parallel
or cemcentric, the meaning and purpose
of which have long been in question. Most
archaeologists incline to believe that they
are purely fantastic the desultory scrib-
blings of some prehistoric artists. NJ.
Abel Maitre thinks otherwise. His view
is that the persons for whom these tonlbs
were raised were magicians of sort re-
semblng perhaps the modern palmist.
The designs then, are rude productions
of the markings of the human thumb.
Certainly there is striking similarity be-
tween these prehistoric designs and the
markings of the modern thumb and palm

Sultan Muley Hafid yearns to fly in an
aeroplane, and in the opinion of the local
Trench authorities he has never given
| greater proof that he wants some one to
protect him from himself Muley Hafid,
seeing the aeroplanes maneuver so
| smoothly in the air at Rabat, concluded
| that 1t was an ideal mode of locomotion.
| 1t was better than camel riding, and he
wanted to get on one of the machines.
where is the captain of the birds?" he
asked the astonished General Ditto one
| morning.
| General Ditto himself was partly respon-
| sible for the Sultans desire. He had al
| lowed aeroplane sheds to be erected near
| the Sultans residence, and every morning
| Muley Hafd was awakened by the noise
= of the motors. He was anxious to see
| the flying machines, and to touch them,
and General Ditto had to escort him to the
flying ground. The French officers, Lieu
tenants Dohu and Van de Varro took
pride in making flights in his presence. It
| was then the Sultan wanted to see the
| captain of the birds, who had been pre-
| scented to him twice at his palace at Fee.
| General Ditto explained that he had sent
the captain of the birds" to France to
| fetch new machines and material for
| sheds.
II want to fly in one of these ma
| Chimes" said the Sultan. The general was
| embarrassed, as he had no wish to allow
| the sultan to risk his life. He soon found
| an excuse for putting off the flight. He
| explained to the Sultan that the machines
which were there were only for one per-
SON. The Sultan's wish could be satisfied
when only the new machines, with a seat
| for passenger, arrived from France. The
Sultan reluctantly accepted this explana-
ton, but to show his satisfaction he gave
| the mACDlniStS present Of 1000 francs
and pinned the Cross of Hafld on the
| coats of the two officers who had been
| flying in his presence. General Ditto had
promised to arrange a flight for him as
