SABOTAGE.
How the Word Acquired Its Present
Meaning.

Letter to the Editor 81 the New York Sun.
Your correspondent from Troy who
was unable to find Sabotage" in any
English dictionary, might consult some
recent edition of Larousse. He will also
find much information in Emile Pouget' s
lie Sabotage. published at Paris in
1910.
Twenty years ago in France "sabot-
age was a slang word to designate not
the act of making sabots but work exc
cuted resentfully, CONNIE a coups de
sabots." Its metamorphosis into for
muIa of social combat by labor against
capital was speedy. In 1897. at the Con-
federated congress of Toulouse, 1t re-
ceived official baptism In the following
year the Rennes congress of labor COM
Inended the theory. In 1900 the Con-
federated congress at Paris voted
decisively in favor of it by III to I6.
Many have noted that sabotage is
nothing new, but old as the exploitation
of labor.
What is go canny?" 1t is a Scotch
phrase To describe "a method employed
by laborers to accomplish their purpose
without a strike.
If two Scotchmen are walking together
and one goes too fast the other says
Go canny" II laborers think that their
employers are too exacting they can get
some satisfaction by going easy. Bal
zac's La Maison Nucingen" gives a
vivid picture of the labor riots at Lyons
III 1881 and the retaliatory spirit of the
workmen. which in these days would be
called sabotage"

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
+ DR.. Fibiger Of Copenhagen has made
two highly important discoveries regard
ing cancer. which have received the in
dorsement of SO high an authority as
Prof. Metchnikoff Of Paris. He lays down
as a dictum based on years of experiment
with incubation and with the microscope
that cancer is microbic disease and that

Metchnikof utters these reassuring
words: Hereditary cancer is a myth;
II cancer finds several victims in the same
family it is because their hygiene is
equally bad" He counsels plentiful
use of soap upon all exposed parts of the
body. He says people do not wash their
faces nearly as often as they should. He
abhors raw food of any kind and says
that disease is carried into most house
holds by that means. Especially does he
insist that bananas, apples and other fruit
be plunged into boiling water before they
are served, as 1t does not change the
1avor OF the food. and is a guarantee

which are disease carriers of the most
| pronounced sort. Especially are French
and English fond of creSs at breakfast;
have seen some of them eat large dishes

jeuners.
IL the psychologists continue, one will
fear to eat many things that have been
thought wholesome. For example. most

because they may carry the typhoid

for the nerves, but 1t Is generally raised
