nnoNtN TooTucArsEs CANCER

(New York World.)
That the commonest cause of can
Ger of the tongue, at any rate IN per-
sons under 80 years of age, is the ifrl-
tation from sharp-edged or carious
teeth is proved by statistics collected
by Drs. Gorse and Dupuieh and quot
ed in the New York Medical Record.
Thirty per cent of the cases they
studied were traceable to this cause.
Cancer Of the tongue in young per-
sons almost always appears as an nj
Ger on the border of the tongue just
where 1t rubs against the teeth. Some
times it is at the tip. The cases in
which it appears at the back of or
underneath the tongue are rare. More

The far east is Just commencing to
turn to modern paycmcnts, and the
use of asphalt heretofore has been
quite limited In Hongkong where.
by reason Of its topography, road
building has received particularly
careful attention and has been the
subject of considerable experimental
ton, little has been done in the use
of asphalt until recently ana the
change has been due To the increas-
ing use of motor ears and heavy traf-
fic vehicles instead of the chairs and
iinrickshas which heretofore have
made the use OF macadam and OF
concrete and cement practicable on
the less frequently used roads and on
the higher levels a concrete mixture
of broken stone. peculiar sticky
Chinese clay and lime has usually
been employed As a result Of the
heavier demand upon the roads Of
the lower levels by motor-car traffic
the need Of a heavier binder for the
broken stone has been seen. and most
of the better class pavements now
being laid are broken stone laid in
asphalt or in tar.
The supply of asphalt in the far
east at present is coming largely from
the west coast Of the United states,
and the trade is increasing. Pave
mcnt grades of asphalt at present in
Hongkong cost around 1886 gold per

COTTON ON SHIP
AT PIER ABLAzE
Near Panic Among Italian Re-
servists Aboard Cretic in
New York Harbor.

New York. Sept. 26.-Sixteen hun
dred bales of cotton in the lower hold
Of the White Star liner Cretic caught
fire this morning as the vessel was
about to weigh anchor for Genoa. Sew
eral hundred Italian reservists crowd
ed in the steerage over night were
routed by smoke and fed in scant at
tire to the pier.
The fire gained rapidly. In the
meantime confusion on the pier among
cabin passengers ready to embark was
so great that a panic seemed to i'm
pend. 1t was 10 o'clock before fire
boats seemed to have the blaze un-
der control. The ship itself did not
catch fire and the damage was con-
fined to the cotton. The Cretic prob
ably will be unable to sail today.
II is thought the blaze might have
been started by a lighted cigaret or
cigar tossed into the hold.
