NEW THEORY AS TO SHoCk
Medical Man Points Out Some Flaws
In Beliefs That Have Been Gen.
orally Accepted.

In an article on intestinal stasis
printed in the Medical Record, DR..
Frank r. Starkey of Philadelphia ad-
vanced new hypothesis as to what
"shock" is.
'What is this mysterious condition
Of depression which we call shock?"
he asked. "In view of the radical
changes that have taken place in our
understanding of physics since the
advent of the electronic theory we
know that the different physical mani
festations of matter are simply diff
ferences in the vibration of the COM
ponent electrons. The difference be-
tween the individuality of persons is
not merely one of physiognomy or cor
poreal peculiarities, but their person
atty depends upon the rate of their
electronic vibrations. The human
body is naught else but an aggrega-
ton of cells, each a world within
itself, made up of various components
which are finally composed of cleo
irons vibrating in perfect unison and
the entire organization attuned to vi
brate in one harmonious whole.
TN view of all this, why should it
not be reasonable and rational to de-
fine shock as disturbance in the nor
NAL vibrations of the electrons of the
organism? This would certainly con-
form to our recent knowledge"

POOR SPORT FOR THE HUNTER
Hippopotamus Hard to "Bag," and
Really Worth Little When He
Has Been Secured.

There are two ways of bagging a
hippopotamus, says writer in the
Wide World, and neither is justified
unless the sportsman is sorely in want
of food, for its meat is very poor in
deed, and wants good deal of prepar
ration to be palatable to anyone ex-
cept the starving. It has taste
can only describe as something
OF what beef would taste like after be-
ing wrapped up for couple of days
with a Scotch haddock of doubtful
freshness. The hippo may be shot in
water; when mortally wounded he
will sink, and will not reappear on
the surface for several hours, conse-
quently a firing lookout has to be
kept for the carcass. If he is only
slightly wounded he may charge, but
more often he will fee and die in the
reeds, to serve as food for scavenger
birds or crocodiles. The other and
more sporting way is to shoot him on
land. This is, as rule, only possible
at night, or late in the evening or
early in the morning. It would not
be wise to find oneself between the
river and the wounded hippo, for he
at once makes for the water by the
shortest route, and he goes so fast
that getting out of his way requires
pretty speedy feet and great GOODNESS
of nerve.

Of lions. One of these brutes began
to eat up the natives of the nearby
village doing terrible havoc. The
agent barricaded himself in his room

he thought he heard the lion proving
around, and promptly fired out of the
window, knocking hole in the gov

he was astonished to see what had
happened That night he again heard
sounds which seemed to foretell the
presence of the lion. He seized his

the editions de luxe were swindles.

Elsa found that her instinct was not
wholly infallible, as will be seen.
Today she was facing the first prob
lem OF her young life, epochal. She
was, as it were, to stop and begin life
anew. And she didn't know, she
wasn't sure.
There were few passengers aboard.
There were three fussy old English
maidens under the protection of still
fussier old colonel. The quartet
greatly amused Elsa. Their mods were
abrupt, and they spoke in the most
formal manner. She was under grave
suspicion; in the first place, she was
travelling alone in the second place,
she was an american. At table there
was generally desultory conversation
and many a barb of malice Elsa shot
from her bow. Figuratively, the colo
mel walked about like a porcupine,
bristling with arrows instead of quilts.
Elsa could have shouted at times, for
the old war dog was perfectly oblv-
ious. There was, besides, the inevi-
table German tourist, who shelled with
questions every man who wore brass
buttons. until there was some serious
talk of dropping him astern some day.
He had shelled the colonel, but that
gentleman was snugly incased in the
finest and most impenetrable Besse-
mer, complacency.
Upon these Irrawaddy boats the
purser is usually the master of cere-
monies in the dining saloon. Elsa
usually sat at the purser's right, and
tonight she found the stranger sit
ting quietly at her side. The chair had
been vacant since the departure from
Mandalay. Evidently the purser had
decided to be thorough in regard to
her wishes. 1t would look less con-
spicuous to make the Introduction in
this manner. And she wanted to meet
this man who had almost made her
cry out in establishment.
Miss Chetwood, Mr.. Warrington"
This was as far as the purser would
unbend.
The colonel's eyes popped; the
hands of the three maidens fluttered-
Warrington bowed awkwardly. for he
was decidedly confused.
"Ha!" doomed the German. Vat
do you tink uff -"
And from soup to coffee Warrington
eluded, lodged, stepped under and ran
around the fusillade of questions.
Elsa laughed softly. There were
breathing spells, = be sure. Under

Immediately after dinner she retired
to her stateroom, conscious that her
balance needed read1usting. She had
heard and read much lore concerning
reincarnation, specifically; yet here,
within call of her voice, was Arthur,
not the shadow Of substance, but
Arthur, shorn of his elegance, his soft,
lazy voice, his half-dreaming eyes. his
charming Incidence. Why should this
mans path cross hers, out OF all the
millions that ran parallel?
She opened her window and looked
up at the stars again. She wondered
what this man had done to put him
beyond the pale. 1t was not possible
that dishonor lurked behind those
frank blue eyes. She turned from the
window and threw open one Of her
kit bags, delved among the soft fab

a purpose back of this apparent neg

In the photograph the mans beard
was trimmed Valois; the beard of the
man who had sat next to her at dinner
