ROPE FOR ALPINE CLIMBERS
1t Is of Special Manufacture and Com.
bines Strength, FIexibilIty and
Lfqh3ness.

The rope used By Alpine climbers
Is of special manufacture, combining
as far as possible the differing qualf-
ties OF streAgtT, fexibility and light
ness. Three qualities are in general
use, being made from Sisal, Italian
and Manila hemps respectively, and
occasionally, when cost is not consid-
cred, of silk. The latter, though very
light and strong, is not SO durable
as the others. That which finds most
favor among British mountaineers is
known as Buckingham's Alpine rope:
1t Is made Of the best Manila hemp.
In the year 1864, Mr.. McLeish re-
calls, a committee Of the Alpine club
made tests upon a number Of ropes
suitable for mountaineering OF the
Two that were approved one was
made Of Italian hemp and the other
OF Manila. They both had a break
Ing strain of two tons and sustained
the weight of twelve stone man
after falling from height of ten

times considered this INSULT cient, but

Some Merit In friedman Serum.

A Pittsburg patient who took the
Friedman treatment in Berlin was
reported by Drs. Rambaud and Lee
teye, Of the Pasteur Institute, as
having had the disease arrested, al
though they do not consider the Sc
rum "a positive and absolute cure for
tuberculosis. 1t is possible that, as
in most important discoveries, the
claims made for the remedy were
exaggerated; still, if a principle has
been discovered to servG even as q
starting point for future investigation
the serum deserves to be well con-
sidered. A treatment that will arrest
the disease and give nature and a ra-
tional regimen the opportunity tq re-
pair the waste caused by the raw
ages of the disease certainly is not
without merit. 1t is unfortunate that
professional jealousies among physi-
clans and an ultra-rigid code OF
ethics should have prevented a fair
and dispassionate test Of the merits
of the remedy under favorable condi-
tions in this country.-Country Re-
