When we are within about fifteen
minutes of Camp Chat is to say, a
mile and a half a swell suddenly dew
eloped; CLASSY, shapeless rollers, four
or five feet high, that tumbled us about
nightly. The heat was more sitting
than ever.
The swell should mean a coming
breeze, but there was no other indi-
cation of il. Off to the south'ard the
azure sky seemed to have melted and
run into the molten sea. There was
no horizon,-just dazzling, quivering,
white heat
Ten minutes of this would have made

Of a certain congregation against put

versed so abruptly, as II there was
nothing TO be said on the other side.

index OF what Is IN the heart. one

quite natural error OF believing that
some necessary relationship exists be-
tween his own physical proportions
and his own u~ndoubted qualities OF
grace. It has always been hard for a
cross eyed man to understand that
any beauty or virtue attached to eyes

THE CAUSE or MALARIA.

The history of the medical treat
ment OF malaria is unique. The 'rst
specific for any disease was found IN
1910, when q~uinine cured the malaria
of the Countess Ell Cinchon. Sir Pat
rick Manson suggested In 1894 that
the mosquito might be the carrier OF
the malarial parasite, and Major Eon-
aid Ross. in 1897, identified the Ano-
pheIes as the culprit which, from the
time of Hippocrates. had borne the re-
lapsing malarial fevers around the
world. Undoubtedly the most impor-
tant discovery since that OF Major
Ross is now announced by DR.. Wade
H. Brown, OF the University OF North
Carolina, In the July number OF the
Rockefeller Institutes Journal OF Ex-
detrimental Medicine. Hematin, which
may be artifcally produced, is the pig
ment secreted by the malarial para
site. DR.. Brown, aided by a grant from
the Rockefeller institute, identified
this chemical substance and reported
upon 1t in a paper printed in June,
1919. He now finds that this pigment,
which suffuses the blood Of malarial
patients, Is the active factor In pro-
noting the disease. While quinine Is
a specific for malaria, 1t Is not by any
means perfect. 1t does some harm,
though a great deal Of good. How
to make a more potent remedy, one
even less harmful to the human It's
sues than ~quinine Is a task which re-
search workers may now set for them
selves with reasonable hope of accom-
plishment.
