Mrs. Tillman Granted Divorce.

Cincinnati, June 2S.-Mrs. b. r.
Tillman, Jr., Of Edgcficld, S. c.. was
yesterday granted divorce from her
husband, who is now practicing law
in Portland, Ore. This brings TO Il
close case that attracted vide at
tcntion because Of the prominence
of the two families concerned, and
also because OF the famous suit
which Mrs. Tillman instituted in the
South Carolina courts three years
since for the possession Of her chill
drcn who were at thai time being
held by Senator and Mrs. b. r. Till
man, grandparents Of the two little
girls.
After the recovery OF her children
Mrs. Tillman returned to her Edge
field home to live, remaining there
until something over year ago,
when she came to this city. Acquir-
ing legal residence here, she several
weeks since filed divorce proceedings,
alleging neglect and failure to pro-
vide. The case was not contested.

oncrs were given up. Upon the day
appointed William Calhoun attended
the meeting with faint hope that he
might find his little Ann, who was
now over seven years old. He was
told by her mother that the child had
a scar on the back OF her neck, caused
by burn. Watching with eagerness
each prisoner that was brought for
ward, he at last saw his dainty little
girl led out, and instantly recognized
his lost child, and readily identified
her by the scar. She could not speak
a word of English and was just lit
tie Indian. When little Ann was
taken captive she was the baby, but
on her return home she found that
the stork had visited the Calhoun
nest and left her several little sisters
and brothers. The younger Calhoun
children were Patrick. Rachael
(who afterwards became my great
grandmother) Esther, william, Ezc-
kicl, Nancy and Alexander, so this
Calhoun, had five sons and six
daughters. Little Ann grew up and
married Isaac Mathews.
History says that Patrick Calhoun
and the other settlers returned to
Long .ane, and that the move to
WaXhaw was only a temporary one
until they could secure protection
from the Statc-and the settlement
was afterwards protected by the
rangers, who were paid by the State
and that Patrick Calhoun was made
their captain and served without pay.

LIIPsOSY NOW CUI,ABLE.
Scientist Heals Dread Disease With
Ordinary CurbOnic Acid Gus.

That leprosy can be cured is an
nOunced from the Johns Hopkins
University Clinics by Prof. w. Will
liams Lord, one Of the most conserva-
tive dermatologists in the United
States, who. with DR.. II. Caspar Gil
christ, Is in charge of the work Of
Johns Hopkins. University in the
prosecution Of Investigations OF dis
ease OF the skin, says Popular Me-
chanics. DR.. Lord has given close
attention to the study Of practically
every case Of leprosy that has ap-
pcared in Baltimore since 1890. Like
many other scientists he has given
much Of his time to the investigation
OF cure or prevention has been
sought for thousands Of years and
yet the disease remained an uncon-
uucrcd plague.
About 1893 woman afflicted with
lcproSy was admitted to the Johns
Hopkins Hospital. where she remain
ed until her death several years later.
The careful examination OF the It's
sues OF this patient and subsequent
experiments upon the few lepers who
since came under his care finally led
to the rejection OF Il number Of inef-
iicient modes OF treatment and the
development Of an entirely new
method ~ which all later cases have
been successfully treated.

culiar discolorations Of tn, kin.
Odd spots arc found that are RI

these areas and at other points,

bacilli thrive and spread. Dr.. Lords
method Of curing the disease. which
has been adopted in the Hawaiian
Islands. is said to be extremely sim
pie. Ordinary carbonic acid gas,
compressed into solid pencil, an
accepted method for removing warts
and recognized for many years in the
treatment Of less serious skin 'trOu-
blcS, is utilized to remove the more
malignant malady. Although this
snow pencil itself is no novelty, it
remained for the Baltimore physi-
clans to extend its field Of use 1t
is made by allowing thin spray Of
carbonic acid gas, previously COM
pressed into liquid form, to escape
into a felt bag whore the carbonic
acid is deposited as a fine hoar frost
or snow, while thermometer held
there will register about 100 degrees
Fahrenheit below zero. The dcposi.
OF frost or snow is then made into Il
solid pencil. which is placed within
a hard-rubber tube. Pressed bit
at Il time from the tube and placed
upon the skin. 1t has somewhat the
same effect rs radium. but in this in
stance it is the extreme coldo that
destroys the disease tissues and
germs and thus cures the trouble;
for, as ii mclls. the temperature
about the infected zone falls to a
very low degree.

Probably the most remarkable feature OF the
Ceylon pearl fisheries Is the extreme uncertain
ty Of the supply of pearl-bearing oysters, 30
that from early times, and doubtless from the
very beginning, the fisheries have been most
unreliable and intermittent.
1t is a matter Of record that during the nine
teenth century there were only SO years when
fishing was possible. Mentioning only the
longer periods Of cessation, 1t may be noted
that there were no fisheries in the years 1921
to 1928, in 1888 to 1854, In 1854 to 1873, and in
1892 to 1900.
1t was this last long series Of recurring fall
ures that induced the Ceylon government to
secure the services OF an eminent English
biologist for a comprehensive investigation of
the pearl-oyster grounds and Of the causes for
the disastrous failures. The result was that a
great deal was made known concerning the
conditions Of life of the pearl oyster, and for
the first time information was afforded the
government by which the industry might be
placed on a stable basis. Forthwith, In spite
OF a vigorous protest, the government leased
the pearl fishery to a private syndicate and re-
tired from the business from which 1t had been
obtaining a large but not steady income.
As we study the life of the Ceylon pearl
oyster, two points Of transcendent Importance
are disclosed: ~ The mollusk is prolific to
an incalculable degree, and (2) it Is subject
to an overwhelming mortality, which at times
completely utilities its productiveness.
The numbers Of oysters produced are abso-
luteiy beyond comprehension. A few years
ago, on one paar FIVE miles long and two miles
wide, small pearl oysters were ascertained to
be present to the number of 10000 per square
yard, In places forming a layer over the bottom
nine inches deep; one diver, who was down
only 30 seconds, brought up 3,225 young oysters
by actual count. This condition of the grounds
was determined in November by the govern
ment inspectors; in December Of the same
year no oysters whatever were found-all had
disappeared as II by magic. On another bank,
known as the Periya Paar, scientific experts in
the year 1902 estimated the, number of young
oysters at ONE hundred thousand million, but SO
insecure was their existence that on inspection
a few months later 1t was found that all had
been swept away.
This destruction is due to a variety of
causes, but principally to two: physical agen-
cies, such as the burying of the oysters by
sand, which are ordinary responsible for only
4 to 5 per cent of the mortality; and animals,
particularly fishes, of which various kinds and
sizes feed largely on the pearl oysters, and are
SO charged with fully 80 per cent OF all the
losses to which the young and full-grown mol
lusks are subject.
Up to a few years ago, and for more than
a century before, the British officials in Ceylon
had absolute control Of the fishery, and de-
