TRACES ORIGIN OF CANCER
Discovery by European Scientist
Marks Important Step in Treat
ment Of Dread Disease.

The results of experiments to find
the origin of cancer have been pub
lished by Prof. Johannes Fibiger, di-
rector of the Pathological institute at
Copenhagen.
His researches show that cancerous
growths in the esophagus and stom-
achs of rodents were due to the pres
ence in the alimentary canal of mi
mute worms, an indeterminate num-
Der of which are from the common
cockroach. Professor Fibiger sue
ceeded in producing cancer by feed
ing eggs of cockroaches to rats.
The experiments are considered Of
great Importance to seekers for a
cure of cancer, as they form the first
experimental production of the dis
ease.

QUITE PROBABLY HE WOULD
Little Ones Answer to Teachers
Question Really Not Such Great
Deal Out Of the Way.

During a moment of relaxation
Senator Warren Of Wyoming told
of the attempt of a school teacher to
explain the functions of an Ameri-
can consulate.
For several minutes the teacher
worked untiringly, the senator said,
but the youngsters we're slow in
grasping the subject. Finally she
tried new tack.

''The hospital, Miss Mary" was
the prompt reply of the happy little

CHINESE PAPER MONEY.

Paper money is said to have had
its origin in China in the year SOC,
when the government issued it to
relieve a financial stringency, re-
ceiving coin in return, which en-
abled it to pay of outstanding obli-
cations. In the museum Of ST.
Johns college in Shanghai is a paper
bill worth 1000 cash, the equivalent
of so cents, American money, which
was issued by the first Ming en-
peror Hung-wo, A. d. 136s-1399).

Most Mothers Have Had Some Such
Experience as ls Portrayed Here
by Bob Burdette.

You send your boy on an errand.
There are three women in the par
lor. You have waited as long as
you can, in all courtesy, for them to
90. They have developed alarming
symptoms Of staying to tea. And
YOU know there aren't half enough
strawberries to go round. 1t is only
a three minutes walk to the grocery,
however, and Tom sets of like a
rocket, and you are so pleased with
his celebrity and ready good nature
that YOU want to run after him and
kiss him. He is long time, how
ever. Ten minutes become fifteen.
fifteen grow into twenty, the twenty
swell into half an hour, and your
guests exchange very significant
glances as the half becomes three
quarters. Your boy returns at last.
Apprehension in his downcast eyes,
humility in his laggard step, peni-
tence in the appealing SLOUGH Of his
battered hat, and pound and a
half of shinglc lails in his hands.
Mother" lie says, ''what was it
you told me to get besides the nails ?"
And while you are counting your
scanty store of berries to make them
go round without fraction, you
hear Tom out in the back yard,
whistling and hammering away,
building dog house with the nails
you never told him to get.-From
Robert j. Burdette's "Rise and Fall
of the Mustache."

TYPICAL AMERICAN BOY.

An exciting experiment was re-
Gently conducted in Washington,
where it was desired to procure a
likeness of the features of typical
American boy. Photographs we're
taken by the hundreds and were re-
ceived from all parts of the country,
from city and town alike, all types
appeared. Finally a scientific study
was inaugurated as the judges settled
down to work. There was nothing
on the photographs to furnish a
clue as to names, no data as to the
residence, for the purpose was to get
the purest type of American boy.
Now the theories of the ethnoiogists
are shaken, for the face chosen was
that of a Russian Jews son. born
across the water. This indicates
that the melting pot of israel
Zangwill began work early. The face
has every characteristic looked for in
the general conception of a keen,
alert and altogether typical Ameri-
can boy.-"Affairs at Washington"

RIVALS THE PANAMA CANAL
---------~~
Some Surprising Facts About Great
Waterway Being Constructed
Across New York state.

Comparatively few persons have
given serious attention to the fact
that a great barge canal, at an esti-
mated total cost of $101, 100000, is
being constructed across central and
western New York state. This great
walled-up waterway with its locks,
water gates, spillways and highway
bridges, winds across the state from
the Hudson to Tonawanda, giving
access to the old Erie canal, Oswego
canal, lake Champlain, st. Law
renee and Great lakes, opening
grand highway from the seaboard
and the first city Of the Union.
When one considers that the canal
extends as the crow flies, 1886 miles
across the state, and with the branch
es to Lake Champlain and Lake On
tario has a total length of 463.5
miles, it will be recognized as one Of
the largest engineering feats in canal
construction, ranking second only to
the Panama canal. There has been
no end of difficulties met with, such
as quicksands and floods, and fire.
quently bridges had to be built to
make the work possible.-Amands

PANCAKES IN ENGLAND.

We still eat pancakes, but their
preparation is no longer heralded by
ringing the church bells. The "pan-
cake bell" however, was formerly
sounded at II o'clock on Shrove
Tuesday, and its effects have been de-
scribed by Taylor, the Water poet:
"As the clock strikes IL there il a
bell rung, called the pancake bell, the
sound whereof makes thousands Of
people distracted and forgetful Of
manners and humanity. Then there
is a thing called wheaton flour, which
the cooks do mingle with water, eggs,
spice and other tragical, magical en-
chantments, and then do put into a
frying pan of boiling suet, until it
is transformed into a hip-jack, called
pancake, which ominous incanta-
tion the common people do deyour
greedily."-London Chronicle.
