Sir Robert Ball.

In the death of Sir Robert Ball at
tho age of seventy-three science loses
one Of those rare interpreters who
bring her wonders within the compre-
hension of the multitude Like the
late Lord Avebury (Sir John Lub-
bock). Sir Robert Ball had faculty
for simple writing which he employ
ed in the production of such works
as THE Story of the Heavens, Star
land" "In Starry Realms" and In
the High Heavens" These books prob
ably did more than any others of the
kind to stimulate the study of astron-
omy and make it popular. The people
of this generation owe a large debt
to Sir Robert Ball. The debt was
freely acknowledged in his own coun-
try, where he received substantial rec
ognition from the government. from
scientific societies, from schools and
universities. 1t has been less freely
but still sufficiently acknowledged in
this country, where his books have
sold well, and where he was a most
welcome and appreciated guest on
more than one occasion.-Brooklyn

McMAsTERs HEAD TRAINER.

Naval Academy.

A notable change in the manner of
conducting certain branches Of
athletics at the Naval Academy Will
go into effect this spring, the general
charge of the training of all the
athletic squads with the possible ex'
ception of the crew being turned over
to Jack McMasters, who for num-
Der of years has been trainer of the
football team and coach of the field
and track squad. L. II. Mang, senior
instructor in athletics. has been
designated to coach the field and track
men. 1t is believed that permission
will be given to send a relay team to
the University of Pennsylvania games
this season.
The Naval Academy has become a
member of the Intercollegiate Indoor
Rife Association and will have a
team entered in the competition which
will be carried on among the different
members during the winter.

Hard Test.

Fred Poor of the supply department

this winter between here and town
just north of Lawrence. One day,
wearied from late business engage
ment the night before, he fell asleep
in the seat and was in sound slumber
when the train passed the bridge in
sight of the falls at Lawrence. An en-
thusiastic fellow-passenger, going over
the road for the first time, was so in
terested at the sight of the splashing
water that he thought it a pity the
young man should be deprived of the
opportunity to witness the scene. And
so he awakened Poor out of sound
sleep that he might behold it Consid-
ering that he had seen the falls twice
daily for months, it required a rare
summoning of amiability to look
pleased. But he did so.

How did you know that?" inter

Il was simply describing TO you
the symptoms of acute cholera. The

The symptoms of cholera must US
ually be confirmed by a post-mortem
examination. The hog is strung up
just as it is slaughtered for the but

cholera is really present, the lymph
glands will be red and congested. the
kidneys diseased, the marrow of the
backbone dark to almost black. the
lungs congested and the bowels show
ulcers and sores.
Serum Preventive, Not Cure.
The serum used in hog.cholera is

serum has time to take effect so it is
very important that the treatment
should be applied as early as possible,
in case the disease makes it appear
ance.
Some conditions or disease which
resemble cholera are tuberculosis
although this disease is usually much
slower in its progress-ordinary diges-
tive troubles due to improper feed
ing. or unsanitary surroundings and
thrax, pneumonia caused by dust, cold
or worms.
A hog can be made immune by
vaccinating with anti-hog-cholera
serum. so he will not take the disease.
This is called artificial immunity, and
may last for a few weeks only, or
during the life of the animal, accord
ing to the method used in the vaccina-
ton.
Hog-cholera serum Is nothing more
nor less than the defribinated blood
of hypeSimmunes, with the proper
antiseptics added for preserving it,
and consists of a saturated solution
OF antibodies to antagonize the germ
of hog-cholera.
There are four ways or methods OF
Transforming an immune into a hyper
immune. The first way is the quick
subcutaneous method, introducing sub
cutaneously in the region of the abdo-

FOR SMALLER ASSEMBLY.
State Senator Benson Proposes To
Raise LeeistatorS' Pay.

'NolSS ray
Believing that the adoption Of his
idea will have the effect of encourage
ing high-grade men 20 seek election to
the General Assembly, State Senator
Carville d. Benson. of Baltimore coun-
ty aroused considerable interest by
announcing that he is working on Il
plan for increasing the pay Of legisla-
tors without increasing the States ex-
penses.
To do this he suggests amendments
to the Constitution under which the
representation in both branches OF the
Legislature will be materially reduced
while the terms of the members of the
House Of Delegates will be increased
from 2 to A years-one-half of the
membership to be elected every two
years. In THIS way he figures election
dates can be so arranged that one
election will be dispensed with every
other year. Before this plan OF Sen.
ator BensOn's can be put into effect il
will be necessary to first amend that
section of the Constitution prescribing
how amendments to that instrument
shall be made Otherwise, since at
present each section of the Constitu-
ton must be amended separately, Mr.
Benson thinks any attempt to change
the representation in the General As
sembly would drag itself out into an
almost endless affair. Senator Ben
son said that if his plan is carried ou;
representation in the House and Sen
ate will be by districts instead Of by
counties. These districts, he thinks.
should be based largely upon popula.
tion, but not in such a manner as 10
give Baltimore city absolute control
He has not yet decided TO what extent
the representation in either branch
should be reduced, but thinks the re
duCtion in the House should be pro
portionately larger than the reduction
in the Senate.
