Kidding CHEESE OF MITES
High-Frequency Currents of Electric
ity Are Employed for the Purpose
by French Scientist.

Not satisfied with ripening
peaches by electricity, a French sci
enlist has hit upon the plan of rid
ding cheese of mites by the applica-
ton of powerful high-frequency cur
rents.
He has invented brush with fine
silver bristles. The brush is con-
nected with a powerful high-fre-
quency apparatus and then is passed
slowly over the surface of the
cheese. The surface is bathed in
heatless sparks and the organisms
are instantly electrocuted. This
scientific expert also has had remark
able success in ripening cheese by
electricity.
American ingenuity, however, has
overshadowed this Frenchman. We
are told the most successful raisers
of broilers for the city markets have
discovered that electricity is an in
dispensable aid in promoting the
growth of chickens. Since the chick
EN- does its feeding exclusively in the
daytime, electric lights in the brood
ers play trick upon the unsuspect-
ing fowl and makes him a glutton.
He eats all the food he requires in
eight hours and utilities another
eight hours to digest it. Thus the
chicks live three electric days in two
ordinary days and consequently
reaches the markets weeks ahead of
their country cousins.

Napoleon the Great was exceed

Is told as one OF The illustrations of
ne: Wien Napoleon, in the spring
If 1899, was lying before Acre, he
was anxious for news from upper
Egypt, whittier he had despatched
Dessaix in pursuit of a distinguished
Mameluke leader. Not many days
after courier arrived with dis
patches, favorable in the main, but
reporting one tragical occurrence on
a small scale that to Napoleon out
weighed the public prosperity. The
commander, as a brave man, felt
that any fate that awaited him would
be better than to fall into the hands
of the enemy. He set fire to the
powder magazine. The vessel blew
up and the crew persisted. For all
this Napoleon cared little; but one
solitary fact there was IN the report
which struck him with secret alarm ;
this Inflated boat was called IiIta-
lie, and in the name of the vessel
Napoleon read an augury Of the fate
which had befallen the italian terri
tory. He felt certain that Italy was
lost and Napoleon was inconsolable.
But what possible connection, it was
asked, can exist between this vessel
on the Nile and a remote peninsula
of southern Europe? "No matter"
replied Napoleon, ''my presentiments
never deceive me. You will see that
all is ruined. l am satisfied that my
Italy, my conquest, is lost to
France" So, indeed, it was.

TELEPHONE POLES OF CACTUS
Arizona Government Is Planning to
Make Good Use of the Giant
Sahuara.

Sahuara for telephone and tele-
graph poles is the latest idea and one
that is to be tried out, 1t sounds
plausible and it is believed that it
will be more economical than the old
style of poles. It's test is to come
from Tucson.
The government is to build a tele-
phone system for the forestry service
Of the Coronado forest reserve. The
first of these lines to be built out of
Tucson is to be used into the Cata-
linas, and it is there that the sahuara
experiment is to be tried.
Where they can be found in what
approaches alignment, so that the
line will not have zig-zag too much,
the sahuara up in the canons through
which the line will pass are to be
utilized for the purpose of attaching
brackets to which the wires will be
fastened. And so the secret is out.
Along the proposed line it is diff
fcult to set poles, owing to the rocky
nature of the country traversed Not
only is this the case, but it is diff
ficult to get the poles up there in the
hills to set, while the sahuaras are
right there in many instances, and
| while not at a uniform distance this
is not considered important

A Cooking Feat in the Air.

To cook a potato pie at the top Of
chimney three hundred feet high by
means of the heat generated in the
fires below would seem an impossible
task, yet such feat was on one occa-
sion accomplished by John Faulkner,
a famous Lancashire steeplejack.
The incident was the outcome of a
wager between Faulkner and the man
ager Of Manchester gas works, who
doubted Johns statement regarding
the excessive heat
A large iron kettle was procured.
and this, being filed with necessary in
gredients-sixty-six pounds in weight
was hoisted to the summit OF the
huge chimney stack. Faulkner placed
the receptacle on the outer and cool
est side of the brickwork, but despite
this, the contents were found to be
thoroughly cooked in one hour and
twenty minutes, or ten minutes less
than the stipulated time
Faulkner won his wager and the
pie. which, it is said. was slightly
burned ct the bottom, was afterwards
distributed among the poor OF the
district-Bystande

SURGEON GENERAL RUPERT BLUE lat TOP,
AND DR. FRIEDRICH FRANZ FRIEDMAN.
York city under the supervision of
the government physicians Several re
ports followed to the effect that certain
of the patients had gained weight,
ceased to suffer night sweats and pains,
which had all been effects of their
dread disease. Surgeon General Blue,
however, announced that nothing def
mite could be learned as to the benefit
or nonbenefit of the treatment for
weeks to come. He counseled that suf-
ferers living far away refrain from
travelling to New York until official
proof had been established.
The serum which DIR. friedman
uses is a culture originating from the
cold blood of a consumption infected
turtle. The theory supporting its use
is that the bacilli of the turtle, being
vastly different and less virulent form
of tuberculosis germs, will counterfeit
that bacilli of the disease circulating in
the blood of a human being. DR.. Fried
mann holds that when the turtle cul-
ture is injected it Immediately fights
off the other disease germs and pre-
pares the entire blood supply and It's
sues to resist and throw off the viru-
lent bacilli. Having defeated the viru-
| lent germs. the turtle germs themselves
work no injury to the human body.
The whole theory is parallel to that
supporting the use of vaccine discover
ed by Dr. Jenner for smallpox. DIR.
friedman urges the use of his cul-
/ ture on healthy persons to guard
| against disease, just as the Jenner vac
| cine is used to ward off smallpox.
| The German physician asserted that
/ he had declined an offer of about So
100000 made by a medicine company
/ for the exclusive rights to distribute
his culture as a specific. He declared
i he would have to personally teach ply
stcians how to administer the treat
ment before it would be safe for them
| to try it, He asserted he had no desire
to make money out of the discovery
I and was only anxious to place it at the
4 disposal of suffering humanity as
speedily and effectively as possible.

Uncle Sam SDOCtOrS
At Work on New
Consumption Serum

- OR the protection of tuberculosis
= sufferers to the number of hun
dreds of thousands the cold
scrutiny of physicians in the
service of Uncle Sam has been kept
upon the actions of Dr. Friedrich Franz
Friedman, who asserts he can cure
the disease.
The action of the United States gov
eminent in quickly taking up the case
of the German savant who has come
to this country offering life and health
to the thousands who otherwise were
to die in a year was somewhat of a
surprise. 1t showed a side of the gov
eminent service which had not hither-
to been well understood. When the
German doctor first appeared in the
country the question as to whether he
was a fake or a Samaritan depended
largely upon the New York board of
health for solution. 1t appeared that
the physician might board n train and
try his "cure" in Philadelphia, Kansas
City or Keokuk if he couldn't obtain
the friendliness of New York authori-
ties.
But Uncle Sam stepped in about that
time. on DR.. Friedmanns own request
and the prospect was changed. Sur
geon General Rupert Blue, with two
assistants DR.. John f. Anderson of the
hygienic laboratory and DR.. Arthur F.
Stimson of the United States public
health service, was commissioned by
the treasury department to investigate
the German savant's claims
Within ten days DR.. friedman
treated about 100 cases in Bellevue
hospital and other institutions of New
