WHEN THE BOMB EXPLODED.

Here is the story of a Russian
anarchist outrage in the words of
one who was nearly killed in the
explosion. While staying at Cannes,
H. Jones Thaddeus, author of Rec
objections of a Court Painter met
the Grand Duchess Elene of Russia,
who gave him an account of the re-
cent attempt upon the life OF the
car. The car was a few minutes
late in his arrival in the dining room,
and for this reason the explosion was
premature. After describing the
event the grand duchess told Mr..
Thaddeus: when the echoes of the
explosion died away dead silence
succeeded, which, united with the
darkness prevailing, so dense as al
most to be felt, conducted to render
our helpless position still more pain
full and uncomfortable. We dared not
move. There was no escape from the
peril which surrounded us. Present

INVESTIGATION OF CANCER
IN PLANTS MAY THROW SOME
LIGHT ON HUMAN SCOURGE

WASHINGTON, d. c., June lO.--Sec.
rotary wi stated today that Bull
letin 1886, Bureau of pant Industry,
just issued by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, is good answer to those
who have said that this Department
cares nothing for the health of men
and women but will at any time send
an expert across the continent in a
desperate hurry for the sake of sick
pig. The Bulletin is entitled the Struc-
ture and Development of Crown Gall
and it would have only a botanical
interest but for it's subtitle: A Plant
Cancer The substance of the bulletin,
which is fully Illustrated by photo
graphs taken from the microscope,
is devoted to showing the various
ways in which a common growth
on plants is like malignant hui
man tumors. For the most part
the illustrations speak for themselves,
but lucid commentary is added, and
many striking comparisons are made,
which ought to go far toward stlmula-
ting additional researches into the
cause of cancer in man, considering
that in spite of many studies nothing
is yet known as to its cause.
Curiously enough, in all the years
of cancer research and out of all the
effort put forth to discover the cause
of this mysterious disease, it has never
occurred to investigators that there
might be an analogous disease of
plants which would throw light on it's
origin.
The Laboratory of Plant Pathology,
Bureau of Plant Industry, has been Civ
ing a good deal of attention in recent
years to the subject of tumors in
plants. These tumors range in size
from half inch or less in diameter
to a half foot or more. The name
commonly applied to them is crown
gall, but they grow on various parts
of the plant. They occur on fruit
trees, berry bushes, rose bushes, orna-
mental trees, ETC., and are very com
mon throughout the entire United
States and also in the Old World.
As is well known, cancer in human
beings and animals is able to spread
through the system and cause an out
break of the disease in parts previous
ly healthy and often at considerable dis
lance from the original tumor. Re
moval of a cancer is successful in
checking the disease only when the
operation is performed before the dis,
ease is we'll established and has spread
it's fibers far beyond the affected part
That habit of insidiously creeping
along the various channels of the
body, from diseased 10 healthy
parts, mkaes cancer hard to era
dictate. Up to the present day
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-06-25

no absolute proof of the cause
Of cancer has been given. Many other
diseases of mankind are known to be
carsed by specific organisms that can
be isolated and studied, but the cause
of cancer he's continued to elude the
search of hundreds of careful scien-
lists. Many thoroughly trained investi-
gators are giving every thought and
energy toward solving this great prob.
lem and without doubt it will be SOW.
ed.
Some OF the facts brought to light
by the Department studies are these:
Crown gals consist of an overgrowth
of the plant tissues themselves, and in
general appearance are not unlike can
cers, and which like the latter are de-
structive to the individuals harboring
them. Like breast cancers, these
growths send out roots into the deeper
sound tissues and upon these roots
secondary /tumors develop, so that,
when eXcisions are attempted, if any
portion remains a new growth devel-
or3 exactly as in cancer; also the
secondary tumors developed from the
STRANDS or roots have the structure of
the mother tumor. For example, when
a primary tumor has developed on a
stem the roots of this tumor often
enter the leaves and there develop
secondary tumors which are not dis
torted leaves but have the structure of
stems; the tumor then destroys the
leaf, developing as a morbid perish
able stem. Other Hkenesses are point
ed out.
What makes the matter so interest
ing is the discovery made in the De-
partment that these plant cancers are
due to a microorganism which has
been cultivated pure and with which
they can be produced at will The
bacteria have been isolated both from
the primary and from secondary
tumors. The organism occurs inside
the cells and under it's stimulus the
mechanism of abnormal growth is ac-
complished. BY these experiments,
which number hundreds, a searchlight
has been thrown, it would seem, on
the whole cancer problem, for if there
is a specific organism causing a dis
ease in plants which closely parallels
cancer in it's inception and manner Of
development (and the bulletin seems
to prove that indisputably) then there
is every reason to think that cancer
in men and animals must also be Que
to some parasitic organism, upon the
discovery Of which a remedy may be
conditioned. The many difficulties en-
countered in determining the cause of
this plant disease should at least in
terest students of human tumors to re.
consider the possibility of their para.
site origin.

BOY SCOUTS OF
AMERICA NOT TO PARADE

The leaders of the Boy Scouts of
America do not wish the scouts to
participate in street parades OF de-
monstrations of other organizations
James Il. West. Chief Scout EXecu-
tive of the organization has sent out
a bulletin to the scoutmasters point
ing out that 1t is unwise for the boys
to participate In such demonstrations.
He writes
"Parades by Boy Scouts, for show
or self-glory should not be encourag-
ed. Even in connection with patriot
ic celebrations such as Decoration
Day and the Fourth of July, il might
be more helpful to have troops of
scouts organize to render practical
service by furnishing the marchers
with water, or having the Scouts
organize for First Aid work rather
than to march in the parade itself.
The Scouts of old rarely made a
show of themselves If you try some
such plan in connection with the
local celebration on Decoration Day
this year, you will find that it will
make favorable impression upon
the community

There was a man in our town
And he was wondrous wise,
And he got caught in bargain rush
And scratched out both his eyes.
And when he found his eyes were out
With all his might and main,
He jumped into a motor bus
And scratched them in again"
Mother Goose, slightly revised and
brought down to date, fits Chicago like

Luthardt, secretary to Chief of Police
McWeeny and originator of the

linseed oil added to the mixture has
been found advantageous. Shake
thoroughly and administer slowly and
carefully to each lamb or sheep for
three successive mornings A long
necked half-ounce bottle is best to
use for drenching sheep and great
care should be exercised to prevent
choking.
Sheep and lambs to be drenched
with this treatment should be put in
yard or barn the evening before
drenching, where they cannot get any
thing to eat, so that the treatment
will be most effective After the sheep

given their regular feed.

throughout the country that the fol-
lowing information upon the subject
will prove instructive to sheepmen
Appearance Of Worm. The worm Is
red or white, according to amount of
blood sucked into its intestine from
the mucous lining of the stomach of
its host. Its extremities are pointed.
The male worm is from one-half to
one inch in length and the female
from one to one and one.haf inches.
They inhabit the fourth stomach and
appear as myriads of short, hair,like
bodies floating in brownish liquor
or attached to the lining membrane
of the stomach. When the liquid con-
tents of the stomach are strained
through cheesecloth the worms are
left behind in masses and can thus
be readily recognized.
Symptoms. Lambs infested with
this parasite fail to thrive, lack APP

may have diarrhoea. AS the condition
becomes worse the belly enlarges,

TRAINING COUNTRY
SCHOOL TEACHERS
BY GEORGE wEHRwEIN.

The country school is one OF the
most important factors in the couTl-
try life movement today. Besides
teaching the three RS" of the little
red school house, the teacher Is ex-
pected to instruct in agriculture,
nature study, manual training to
some extent, sanitation and hygiene.
The teacher must be leader In the
community, organize school fairs, corn
growing clubs. farmers clubs and take
part I'm its social life. We expect her
to awaken in the children new civic
spirit. and carry forward the crusade
against tuberculosis, temperance and
higher living.
Even to attempt a few OF these
things in a school where there are
all the grades from the kindergarten
to the high school, and where there
are about twenty classes a day, re-
quires well trained teacher filled
with the country spirit.
And yet who are our country
school teachers? Mostly young boys
and girls who are in the profession
only to use it as a stepping stone TO
something higher
"As a rule the teachers in the coun.
try schools are too young. They know
too little of life and cannot appreci-
ate the great responsibility resting
upon the profession Many enter the
work with no special preparation. The
result Is that much of the teaching
is above the heads of the children.
Many are unfamiliar with country
life and the result is that the school
work becomes matter Of book learn
ing rather than true mental develop
ment. To remedy this condition we
need to provide for the training OF
teachers and require thorough prep
aration before the work Is taken up,
says the state rural school inspector
IN his last report.
The early Teacher.
In the earlier times the country
school teacher was merely some
bright boy or girl who stayed at the
country school and studied with the
teacher at odd hours and then wrote
for certificate. No professional train
ing was required except the reading
Of few books. Normal school grad
yates rarely went into the country
and we're hardly prepared for coun-
try school problems. To remedy this
the county training schools were es-
tabiished which took in boys and girls
(, from the farm and after two years oil
I training sent them out to teach. This
was decided improvement. but still
