APPEN DICITIS
BY GEORGE FITCH

A PPENDICITIS is something
~ that usually happens just before
= N some doctor buys sanew automo-
bile. Fifty years ago nobody heard Of
appendicitis. Also no one heard Of
the automobile. Now a man cannot
be said to be up-to-date unless he has
had appendicitis, while the doctor
and the automobile are boon com
panions.
Appendicitis is peculiar pain in
the region of the vest-pocket, which
is later transferred to the region of
the check-book pocket. 1t Is said by
some people to be disease. Others
claim it to be a fad, while the doc
tor regards it as an opportunity. 1t
comes from an insurrection of the
vermiform appendix, a small annex
to the intestine. There are two ways
of curing 1t. 1t can be reduced by
outside manipulation, or it can be
cut out In the latter case, the ap-
pendix Is not reduced, but the sur
geon's bill can, by con and economy,
be reduced in installments to a nor
NAL size.
A great many people have had ex-
plorations made in their interiors by
surgeons in search of appendicitis.
and most of them have survived It
is not dangerous to have the appen-
dix taken out, providing the surgeon
removes all of his tools from the
premises, and does not present his
statement until the patient is quite
strong. When the patient has recov-
cred, he is given his appendix i'm
prisoned in bottle of alcohol, and
travels home in first and second sec
tions like a home-seeker's train.
People who have no appendix are ar
rogant about it--as arrogant as peo-
pie who have no pasts. Between
people who have been divorced from

These picturesque helmets OF the

Views Or The L Press
Scientific Annihilator

TN HOMAS A. EDISONS state
ment, during the course of an
interview or the use of chlorine
gas and other chemicals by the Ger
mans, that such devices were only
tritiing compared with what science
might accomplish in the destruction
OF human life by agencies other than
those already in military use, and his
intimation that he could, if he
wished, perfect a scheme that would
literally wipe out armies in an in
stant, recalls to mind a century-old-
mystery concerning an invention
said to have such properties which
was made by Thomas Cochrane,
tenth earl of Dundonald, a British
admiral, whose name is almost as
familiar in John Bulls navy as that
of Drake, Blake, Rodney and Nell
son. The story of this device has
been handed down in the traditions
of the British sea service but it is
a subject that is not often encoun-
tered in the histories. 1t is usually
referred to as "Dundonald's de-
stroyer."
Mr.. Edison told his interviewer
thar he would not disclose such a
secret, even though he had perfected
it, because he did not believe in
using mis- brains for the destruction
OF mankind, but for helping human
ity. Lord Dundonald, however, suf-
fered no such computations. Born
a year before the Declaration of In
dependence was signed, he entered
the British navy in the fatefni year
of 1898 reaching a command in 1901
when, with his vessel. the Speedy,
he captured the Spanish frigate FL
Gamo with much .audacity OF the
coast of Spain Later he entered
Parliament on the Commons side and
became noted as vigorous debater
and fiery orator In 1909 he was en-
gagged in the attack on the French
feet IN the Basque roads and was

land for his exhibition Of sensational

bravery and daring, but became
involved in a row with Admiral
Gambler, his superior officer, and
because Of his sharp criticisms
voiced in the House, fell out of favor
with the admiralty and lost his
command.
In spite of this friction, however,
Dundonald. when he made his inven-
tion, in 1911, laid it in outline before
the government. Dundonald de-
elared that it afforded "the infallible
means of securing at one blow our
maritime superiority and of there
after maintaining it in perpetuity;
of at once commencing and .ermi-
mating a war by one conclusive vic
tory; no power on earth could stand
against this attack" The commit
tee reported that his claim was not
exaggerated and that the method of
assault was irresistible on land or
sea, but they refused to recommend
its adoption because its effects would
be inhumane and CHASTITY, trans
crossing beyond the limits of per-
missible civilized warfare. They
urged that ii be kept a profound
secret in the archives of the ad-
mirelty so that no other less scrupu-
lous nation could use it for the an
Inhalation of the rest of the world.
Just at that time the government
was sore beset to cope with Ma
poleon, but the committees report
was approved and Dundonald, loyal
patriot that he was. acceded to their
desire. although a few years later,
when he saw service successfully in
the navies Of Chill. Brazil and
Greece, he was offered immense
awards il ne would betray the secret.
DundOnald died in 1860, and since
his death the plan has not been re-
vived. Apparently it either died with
MIN or an account of it may still be
hidden away in the vaults of the ad-
miraity, but neither fact has ever
been certainly made clear.---PhiId-

Gout, nevertheless, is classic dis

a careful review Of some three thou

of medical and surgical conditions in
persons of all ages, fails to disclose
a single case Of gout, plain or fancy.
Inquiry among our friends engaged
in the thankless philanthropy of

The appendix was formerly a mem
Der in good standing of the human
body, but it was discovered that it
was not only useless, but stirred up
trouble by diverting objects from
their proper path through the human
system and then getting swelled up
over it. When this was found out,
the doom of the appendix was sealed.
Thus it is evident that the appendix
is no politician. A politician can be
perfectly useless, all swelled UP and
can divert anything from an assist
ants salary to a grand piano from
the body polite, and yet the people
very rarely cut him out.
