FIRE-DAMP WHISTLE.
New York Times.

ANGW YIN AIhCo-
A signaling apparatus, which may
be destined, in the word of Emperor
William, 'to save thousands of lives
in the coal mines of the world" was
formally presented to his majesty as
the first fruit Of the Emperor Will
liam Scientific society, founded on his
initiative year ago.
The contrivance, which is the in
vention of Privy Councillor Haber
and DR.. Oesier, is an acoustic indi-
Gator called fire-damp whistle" Its
purpose is to warn miners of the ap-
proach or existence Of noxious gas in
pit in ample time to enable them
to retreat to safety. The idea was
suggested by the emperor.
The underlying principle of the
mechanism is that whistle blown in
pure air produces an even-toned, con-
| tinuous sound wave, while whistle
blown in air charged with noxious
gases sends forth tones varying from

depending on the extent of the at.
mospheric adulteration.

hibited to the kaiser, is simple met.

POSSIBILITY OF MILLINERY.

The news that a hat--a woman's
hat, of course-has made its appear
anee trimmed with punches of rais-
ms, opens up an entire now field of
thought and conjecture and specula-
ton with regard to The coming milii-
merry. The aigrette, as we all know,
and as we are all glad to know, has
practically been driven into desuetude.
Plumage in general is under the ban.
Flowers, jets, beads, laces and rib
bons are all that would be left for
ornamentation unless some new de
parture should be made, and what
more natural under the circumstances
than that attention should turn to
fruits and vegetables? Artificial
grapes and cherries have been used
as hat trimming off and on for years
but grapes and cherries in trimming
have been treated as flowers. The
bunch of raisins is new thing.
But if raisins, why not currants-
dried currants-and if currants, why
not figs and dates? And what would
be the object in clinging To things
more or less somber in color, or to
dried or preserved things, or things
in boxes, bottles or tins or wfckers
when the entire fresh fruit and vege-
table kingdom is at hand to be drawn
upon? The extremist might ask, for
example. Why trim with bunch OF
dull-hued raisins when one might
just as well trim with bunch OF
rosy-cheeked radishes? Or why not
use peach, or an orange or even q
lemin?
If one enters the woodlands of the
middle tiers of the United States al
this season, one may find the sumae
literally on fire with color. Why moi
trim with that2 Or if the subduec
only will do, VIII y not gather maple

COMMISSION. DECLARES WAR
ON IMMIGRATION HOOK WORM
(By Burton X. Standish. Written foi
the United Press.)

(By Burton X. Standish. Written for
the United Press.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 49,
Your Uncle Samuel, through the Of
flee of commissioner of general of
immigration today is formally serv-
ing notice on the nations of the globe
that they must send their immigrants
here clean and healthy as well as free
from disease, if they are sent at all
Commissioner General Caminetti to-
day admitted that "war" has been de-
clared particularly on the importa-
tion of aliens affected with the hook
worm disease-an insidious malady
resulting from the entrance of a par
asite into the foot, generally.
Thoroughly alarmed by reports
that the disease is taking hold in
California, and that vessels have been
importing hordes of immigrants from
the disease zones seventy-five per
cent infected, Commissioner Camin-
etti has determined to bar every all
ing immigrant under the statute
which forbids entry of persons af-
flicted with contagious or loathsome
diseases. He saw in the alarming
spread of the hookworm disease, es-
pecially on the Pacific coast, blow
at economic progress and racial de-
velopment. The order to inspectors
to prevent entry of any immigrant
showing signs of the hookworm dis
ease is expected to result in decided
decrease in the number of East Indian
and Hindu immigrants. Such immi-
grants, when affected with hook
worm, are declared to be far below
the standard of prospective citizens
wanted in the United States. Com
missioner Caminetti refused to admit
that the order was aimed chiefly at
this class of immigration, but it is
admitted by immigration officials
that the rate of hookworm victims is
higher among this class than any
other.
Hookworm infection practically
belts the globe in zone between the
parallels of SO north and 30 south lati-
tude, and flourishes chiefly in moist
warm climates. From go to 80 pei
cent of the vast population of India
have the disease, making these peo

pie disinclined to work. Infection
runs from so to 80 per cent in Co.
lumbia, Egypt, British Guinea, Dutch
Guinea, Natal, Ceylon, that section of
China included in the disease zone.
DR.. Herbert Gum, special inspector
for the California state board of
health, reported to Commissioner
Caminetti on hookworm infection in
the mines of California as follows:
"There is no question that the gen
eral efficiency of men with hookworm
disease is noticeably impaired. At
one mine employing about 300 men,
it was stated that reserve Of about
25 men had to be available to replace
those who because of sickness did not
report for work. Several of those
who were unable to work stated that
when they arrived at the mines they
were perfectly strong and well.
"a loss of 20 per cent in efficiency
of those infected would be conser-
vative estimate. That would mean
for instance in mine where 300 men
are employed at an average of about
$3.50 day, and estimating the num-
ber of those infected as low as so
per cent loss of nearly 100000 a
year" DR.. Gum pointed out, too,
that the disease is prevalent among
agricultural workers in California.
One of the youngest yet most wide
ly experienced men in the United
States senate is Key Pittman of
Nevada. During the gold rush days
in Alaska Pittman was a struggling
young lawyer in Nome. He had a
tiny office on the main thoroughfare
and consequently many of his clients
were of the type that usually inhabit
mining camp. Rent was high, pro-
visions were higher and Pittman was
taking all cases that came his way.
Among other necessities of life well
night prohibitive, was coal, selling at
$40 sack An old friend of the
Alaska days dropped into the sena-
tors office the other day. Here is
one of the tales that came to light:
Pittman had won score of cases
during the winter for clients in whose
innocence even he had little conf
dence Among the most frequent of
clients was big Red" a hanger-on
at prominent gambling emporium.
One day man, who is now well
known as an author rushed into the
tiny office.
They've got Big Red" he shouted.
whats he charged with" demanded
Pittman. Stealing ten sacks of coal
was the reply. That's grand lar
ceny," said Pittman. SIS he guilty? ?"
"Oh hell" remarked the inquirer.
Can you prove he's not guilty? ?"
amended Pittman. Sure, we can
prove it," decisively. How many
witnesses have you got?" "Well how
many do you want?" "All can get" !"
said Pittman. But look here he
added, on second thought, "Ive been
defending you fellows all winter and
haven't seen cent yet. Pm thru.
You'll have to come through. Kick
in with something or | won't take the
case.
WELL" said the nonplussed appli-
cant, I'VE haven't got any money but
we'll give you half the coal"
Whether Pittman took the case his
tory sayeth not.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 19.-
The rebels executions at Juarez and
the massacre of the entire federal
garrison, at Vivtoria, the capitol of
the state of Tamaulipas, which the
rebels declare they will do if they
capture it, has complicated the Mex
lean situation.
This, together with Carranza's at
titude, makes it practically impossible
for the United States government to
recognize the belligerent rebels.
Officials who have urged the pres
ent raise of the embargo on arms,
have abandoned the plan, and want
the situation left stand, and the fac
tions exterminate each other. The
government is holding the leaders OF
the different factions personally re
