Cancer Is Durable.
From the New York World.


The reputation of DIR. William j. Mayo
is such that II gives authoritative weight
TO his statement TO the effect that cancer
of the stomach is durable. He makes no
claim TO a startling discovery or sensa-
tional new remedy. Against the accepted
theory of his profession he sets the rec
ord of what has actually been accom-
plished. II is the guarded. conservative
statement of one of the worlds greatest
surgeons. Says DR. Mayo:
After eighteen years of special in
vestigation Of cancer OF the stomach we
are assured that ii is a durable disease.
Nearly one-third of all cancers occur in
the stomach, so our investigation proves
that cancer Is a durable disease. OF
course, cancer OF the stomach cannot be
cured in ali cases. Out Of 1000 cases
operated on from 1894 to December 81
last 3Is resulted in cures. 2i6 patients
were improved and their lives prolonged
and 3t6 were given UP as hopeless after
exploratory operations. Perhaps all OF
these cases could have been cured IL the
disease had been diagnosed in time
In view Of the hopeless attitude of the
medical world, these conclusions are revo-
lutionary.

A Hundred Years of Locomotives.

From the New York Tribune.
There is cause for wonder at the failure
of the industrial world to commemorate
fittingly this month the centenary of the
locomotive steam engine. 1t is, of course
still less than hundred yeas since the
building of Stephenson Rocket. and
there are many who think of it as the
first locomotive; but 1t was not. ner was
Stephenson the o.. iginal inventor Of steam
traction on railways. Doubtless his
genius we'll deserves the fame which it
has won, as does that OF Fulton and
Morse; yet it can scarcely be disputed
that all three of those illuStriouS bene-
factors of the race did their great works
in the successful adaptation and combina-
ton Of Clements which had previously
been discovered and employed by other S.
The germ Of the locomotive was first
displayed by Trevithick. at the end of
the eighteenth century. but he lacked
the genius or the persistence to bring it
to perfection. 1t wa left TO William
Hedley, chief engineer of the histo ic
Wylam colliery, near Newcastle-on-Tyne,
ass sted by his. colleagues. Timothy Hack
worth, to produce in June. 1913 prac-
teal locomotive steam enegine for use on
the colliery railroad. This epoch-ma king
machine, which was named Putting Billy
and which is still preserved i'm the South
Kensington Museum, worked satisfacto-
rily and was the prototype of many
others which were widely used for fif-
teen years until in 1929 the Liverpool and
Manchester Railway Company encour-
aged Stephenson to devise and build the
Rocket.
1t is doubtless true that 1t was Stephen
son who gave the impulse to the marve'-
Gus development of the locomotive which
has since occurred. 1t is equally true
that it was Hedley's great invention
which gave the inspiration and the i'm
pulse to Stephenson. The Newcastle
engineers achievement of just century
ago may therefore be regarded as the be-
ginning of what must rank among the
three or four most valuable and influen-
| tial mechanical inventions in the history
Of the world.
