GERM IS SLAIN BY HOT AIR
French Physician Discovers New
Method Which May RevoIu-
tionize Treatment.

Paris-A remarkable new treatment
of diphtheria has just been communi-
Gated by the distinguished physician.
Robert Rendu, to the Lyons Medical
association.
In the course of his experiments
with the bacilli of this disease DIR.
Rendu found that they were extreme
ly sensitive to heat. and he was able
to kill them in fifteen minutes at
temperature of so degrees centigrade
(122 degrees Fahrenheit) or in one
minute at so degrees (176 degrees
Fahrenheit).
To apply such heat to the mucous
membrane in the throat in which
diphtheria microbes congregate the
inhalation of hot air seemed a possi-
BILE method. and in experiments with
himself the Investigator found to his
own surprise that he was able with
out any difficulty to inhale air at 100
degrees or the boiling point (212 de-
grees Fahrenheit) for two minutes at
a time.
Cases in which this treatment has
already been tried on diphtheritic pa
tents are stated to be completely sue
cessful. but some doubts exist as to
the hot air or to the serums. applied
at the same time.

BOY BRleAND is A TERROR
Younsster. Sentenced to Prison, Tells
Of Daring Deeds He Had
Planned to Court.

Dushore. Pa.-When the law through
the instrumentality of Judge Max
well, put its hands on Peter Striney
tiary at Philadelphia for from five to
ten years. 1t made short shrift of a
young bandit who. by his own confess
sion, had started on a career of crime
melted by lurid reading and a natur-
al bent for adventure. and had he not
been captured as he was--and that
was at point OF pistol-this part
of Pennsylvania ere this summer was
over would have been infested with a
band of robbers whose leader at least
would have stopped short of nothing.
not even murder.
Even before the court. as he stood
to hear sentence pronounced, Striney,
with not a little braggadocio. declared
that he had spent part OF his money
to buy firearms. so that he would be
equipped for highway robbery. His
prospective fields of operations were
the lonely roads of Sullivan and Brad
ford counties, territory with which
he is well acquainted. having been
reared In Sullivan county. and
before his last escapade. for
which he is now sent to prison, he
was sent to the reformatory at Hunt
ingdon. for a crime committed while
yet only STRIPPING of boy.
Striney was sentenced by Judge
Maxwell for robbing the Susquehanna

Experts from all parts of the United

Cannot Solve.

Trenton, N. J.-Having been with
out sleep for thirty years, Albert E.
Herpin, Trenton man. at last com
plains of feeling weary. Mentally he
experiences no weariness, but he says
he is physically weak and believes a
nap of only f1ve> minutes duration
would give him new life. Physicians
who have been following the sleepless
wonders case for years say he Is
merely suffering from overwork, and
do not agree with the theory that SO
many years of wakefulness has caused
his physical health to fall.
Since the power of sleep left him
Herpin has never before expressed a
desire to even doze. He has shown
no lassitude day or night The only
rest he gets is when he sits In a COM
Portable chair for several hours each
night. but he does not even then close
his eyes
His sleeplessness has brought him
considerable money. as he thought

in the morning he seems as fresh as
any of the other workmen who had
hours Of sound sleep. Those who
work with the sleepless man assert
that he keeps constantly busy and ex-
hfbits not the slightest symptoms of
drowsiness. The only complaint that
Herpin has made because of his con-
dition is that he becomes lonely fire.

to keep him busy.
Herpin lost his ability to sleep aft

He was then 80 years old. He con-

strange condition, but who we're un-
able to help him. From time to time
he has been secretly watched at night.
