HOnse-FIies and Disease.

i diseminatorof disease and q car-
fier Of coastagion. Ever SINCE the
Investigation Of the spread Of typhoid
fever in the United States military
camps during the Spanish War 81
1908, the evidence has been ac-
cumulating, until today there is no
escape from the charges against this
tantalizing insect. Every far-reach-
ling probe into sanitary problems ~
liable to disclose conditions hitherto
quite unsupported; and the indict-
nents already brought against the.
house-fy during the past few years
charge responsibility for a long ca
tegory of infections, including
cholera and various forms Of dysen-
terry, diphtheria, erysipelas, con-
tagious ophthalmia, eerebrospinal
meningitis, anthrax and possibly
smallpox, in addition to typhoid
fever.
Whether all Of these charges will
stand in the light Of scientific I'M
vestigation remains to be seen. 1t

personal experience should. have
been the subject Of numerous and
diverse theoretic explanations. A
careful analysis will at once brig
out the fact chat appetite and hunger
ARE fundamentally distinct. Hunger
is evidently a demand for nutri-
Iment: whereas the pleasures of APP
petite may be enjoyed without the
necessity Of an attendant hunger,
In recent lecture before the
Harvey Society of New York City,
Professor Cannon, of the Harvard
Medical School, reviewed the various
theories OF hunger and offered an
fexplanatlon of the well-known
phenomena. His address is dis
cussed in a recent number OF The
Journal OF the American Medical
Association. He discards the widely
accepted view that hunger is "a
general sensation with local re-
ference" According to this it has
been assumed that hunger arises
from a general condition of the body
such as the disappearance Of food
substances, from the blood. The
sensation Of hunger is commonly
said to disappear as time passes
which one would certainly not ex
pect if it were a manifestation Of a
serious deficiency; furthermore,
there is no evidence Of marked
changes in the blood when hunger
appears, and it is difficult to recon-
Gle the abrupt onsetof the sensation
with any equally sudden. alteration
in the nutriti7e state Of the body.
The Well-known intermittent occur
renee of hunger is not readily ex-
planned.
Any tenable theory Of hunger must
account for its most conspicuous fea-
ture, viz, the reference Of the feel
ing to The epigastric region. Hunger
is not due to- emptiness Of the
stomach, or to dydrochloric acid
secreted into the empty organ, or to
congestion Of the gastric glands.
Cannon attributes it to contractions
Of the stonlach's muscular walls. By
an ingenious experiment he was able
to register simultaneously the move
ments of the stomach wall and the
subjects impressions of hunger
sensation. The contracCions and
sensation always occurred in unison.
Both are abolished when food which
satisfies the bodily need is taken IN
to the stomach. The sequence Of
events may best be described in tie
authors words: Hunger is norm
ally the signal that the stomach is
contracted for action; the unpleas-
antness of hunger leads to eating;
eating starts gastric secretion, dis
tends the contracted organ, initiates
the movements Of gastric digestion,
and abolishes the sensation. -

AUTO TRUCK HAULING.

An experiment is to be made in the Yerngton
district that will be watched with interest by all who
have to haul, ehre to the railroad or the smell
ter. There is the way here from Reno a
large Mack auto truck and trail wagon which is to
be given a try-out in hauling from the Neon
nell mine to the railroad. This truck negotiated
the Geiger grade between Reno and Virginia City
with ease, and in coming here will have crossed
several bad stretches of sandy road The distance
that it will haul ore from the mine to the railroad
is not great, but the grade is heavy and the road
crooked If it proves this road there is
hardly mine in the district which cannot be reach
ed by the truck, and there will probably be several
OF them employed here if this one proves it do
the hauling There is doubt that it will do much
cheaper transportation. This Mack truck is sup
posed to arrive at the Mcconnell mine today il It
did not come in last night. 1t is coming overland
by its own power in charge OF driver and O. II.

THE NEVADA EXHIBIT.

i Several Nevada State papers do not look VIII
favor upon the plan of this coming Legislature max
ing an appropriation for representation at the "a
cihc-- Panama Exposition to be held in san frall-
cisco in 1915 No real argument has been advanced
in opposition e-plan, and it is safe to say that
the opposition will be confined to certain quarters
until the Legislature takes decisive stand on the
question.
Two years ago the Legislature appropriated
S250O00 to be used for constructing and furnishing
an exhibit at the Exposition. The bill, however
was vetoed by the Governor 1t is assured that the
same fate will not be met by subsequent measure
which will be introduced at the coming session.
Every State in the Union will be represented
at the Exposition will the leading nations OF the
world. Nevada is in line to attract great amount
of attention by presenting attractive exhibit and
more advertising can be secured in the one year
than could be attained in life time by any other
method. Nevada is in need OF the proper adverts-:
ing and for every dollar spent in this line, the re
turns will be multiplied hundred fold
The Directors of the Exposition have been kind
to aot this State choice site upon which struc-
ture will be built to house the exposition. The site
is OF the best, the Governor having been offered
his pick. Preference given Nevada on account
OF being the sister State, and that the fact
has been advertised it would be poor plan to WEIGH
1t is true that the financial condition of Nevada
sadly needs reimbursement, and the problem OF Sc

cannot be answered readily Nevertheless, an APP
preparation should be made, if other necessary
appropriations are reduced. Nevada has the chance

THE Bulgarans apparently have strain OF
fighting blood derived from not remote ancestors,
says an eastern contemporary. But from these re-
mote ancestors is exactly where that fighting blood
came From their earliest appearance in history
they were stubborn and successful fighters: and
their menace to Constntinope centuries before the
Turkes were ever heard OF by the Christian people
was serious matter; the menace of a Bulgarian
invasion was to the court at Constantinope
by day, and nightmare at night.

That last proposition of the Idaho

Cenrtal City the county seat is SO

that there is a "nigger in the wood

motive and this no doubt embraces
the idea Of uniting the two counties

change when the matter came to a
