BROKEN TOOTH CAUSES CANCER

From the New York World.
 That the commonest cause of cancer of
 the tongue. at any rate in persons under
 30 years of age, is the irritation from
 sharp-edged or carious teeth in proved
 by statistics collected by Drs. Gorse and
 Dupuch, and quoted 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 persons almost always appears as an ulcer on the border of the tongue, just where it rubs against the teeth. Sometimes it is at the tip The cases in which it appears at the back of or underneath the tongue are | rare. More than 90 per cent of these cases prove fatal within a few months. Moral: At the first sign of decay or
 roughness of tooth go to dentist at once.

MOST ACCURATE MACHINE

MUS AOOOnAlE From the Literary Digest.
 The worlds most precise piece of machinery is doubtless the Rowland dividing engine, owned and operated by Johns Hopkins university, Baltimore.
 This machine, the invention of Prof. Henry A. Rowland, long the head of the physics department in that insti- tuition, was devised by him to rule dif- fraction grating on glass or metal, for use in the most delicate kind of spec troscopic work, in the place of the glass prisms that are commonly used to form the spectrum by splitting up white light into it's component colors. These grating consist of five parallel lines, so close together that they can be separated only by a microscope of the highest power.
 Accuracy is measured nowadays by the limit of error. The Rowland grat- ings are not perfect, because perfec- ton is impossible; but their lint of error is -millionth of an inch. which makes the engine that is able to draw them the record holder for accuracy.

EVER had the cables hummed M over the Atlantic with such ra-
 A pidity, seldom had such a chase
 over the seas been recorded, as when in July, 1910, Dr. Crippen, together with his French stenographer Miss Ethel Le Neve. who was dressed in boys clothing and who had fled from England, away from the land which was the mute witness of the atrocious crime, were discovered in mid-Atlantic
 on the Montrose, bound for Montreal It was the 22d of February that Belle Elmore, the actress wife of a former Philadelphia dentist, vanished from sight following a quarrel with her husband, and it was not until July 1910, that the sleuths from Scotland fard dreamed that muruer had been committed, for Crippen had allowed the l rumor to circulate that Belle had gone to America. On July the doctor was questioned, and the following day prac- tically convicted himself of the crime by fleeing from London, accompanied by Miss Le Neve. For the following l five months this great drama of two continents occupied the stage of the world.
 l On July 21, the captain of the Mon trose sent the graphic message by wire | less that started Scotland Yard bug zjng like a hive of bees, to the effect | that Dr. Crippen and Miss Le We've. the
 latter disguised as a boy, were on board Then followed the sensational chase. Inspector Dew boarded the Lau-
 rentic, bound for the same port as the fugitive pair. and In the race against
 time landed before the lawbreakers. l They were quickly arrested, brought | back to Liverpool and from thence
 taken to London. At both places Grip
 pen was mobbed by the crowd, who
 had been shocked at the atrocity of the
 alleged murder.
 | On September IA, the first stage of
 the trial was held. Prof. Augustus J.
 Pepper testified that the remains he
 had examined were undoubtedly those
 of a human body, also that they were
 dismembered by hand skilled in sur gerry and anatomy. The remains. he
 said, had been buried in quicklime from
 four to eight months, and therefore no trace of the sex could be found After much heated argument between the

1ense. the case was adjourned until the following Friday
 On that day, the 17th, pr. wilI,ar, Henry Wilcox, scientific analyst to the home office. said that the srewsome remains found in the floor of the eel lar in pr. Crippen's Hilldrop Crescent house contained from two-sevenths 10 halr grain of some deadly poison. So- iicltor Arthur Newton, for the defense, cross examined, but elicited nothing to throw fresh light upon the mystery. | Inspector Dew was put on the stand. but he also could throw no more lieht on the tragedy. The crown then tried to show that the remains Were those l of the American actress, but, althoupb the scientists were ready to swear that tsss- rsssa ains2l-~<ese- a.,.rrrssrl none were able to swear positively regarding the sex of the victim.
 l Miss Le Neve was charged with be- ing an acdessory after the fact. AL though Crippen was cool, Miss Le Neve was so nervous that her answers were almost inauhible and her lips quivered nearly all tfe time. It was proved that the night ffter the murder Miss Le 'Neve had slept at the house in Hilldrop
 
 crescent. Also, although she denied any Knowledge of the murder, she had gone With crippen st minutes notice and at his suggestion cut off her hair, to disguise herseif as boy. The verdict returned was NGuilty" for Crippen.
 Putting on his black cap the judge then solemnly declared Crippen guilty under circumstantial evidence, and to be hanged by the neck until dead Miss Le Neve, who was sentenced later, was pronounced not guilty. In consequence of the British law guilty person can not be hanged until 30 days fater the sentence, Crippen's hanging was fixed for November 15, but owing to rumors that gained circulation pertaining to the fact that some evidence had been found about Belle Fillmore being in Can ada, he was not executed until Novem- Der 2S. At 8 o'clock in the morning he was taken into the yard at Pentou- vile prison He was accompanied only by his spiritual companion, Father Carey.
