Potatoes are used for other than feed
ing purposes. A writer in Notes and
Queries" recently recorded the case of
a man who has filled a cabinet with "a
series of small wrinkled objects which
look and feel like large pebbles" They
are not pebbles. however. but potatoes.
which have become petrified by being
carried a long time in the pocket.
Each potato is marked with small
label bearing an inscription such as
Carried from November II. 1878, to
May Is, 1880. Very efficacious." The
collector claims that the potato carried
in the trousers pocket has proved to
be the best of the many remedies he
has tried for rheumatism. He carries
potato until the return of the
twinges seems to testify to the decline
of it's curative properties. Then he
takes a new potato and locks the old
one up in his cabinet.

Hopes for Good Results.
I'VE believe this institute will have a
great and beneficent effect upon Pan
American relations said DR.. Scott to-
day. las it will bring into close and init
mate contact publicists of all the coun-
tries of America, who Will not only eN-
change views and discuss questions
scientifically, but will have the very
great advantage of learning to know one
another.
..In this way we are sure that per-
sonal contact will develop into acQuaint-
ance and friendship. and that, under
standing one another and each others
purposes, the suspicion which Heretofore
has marked the relations between the va
rIous Latin American countries and the
United States will little by little pass away.
This in itself will be sufficient jIstifica-
tion for the formation of the institute.
hut il is reasonably certain that its
scientific productivity will be of very
great value.
