Indians Driving

TAST INDIANS are threatening to
drive the Fiji Islanders from Fiji.

nent, although in a considerably more
peaceful manner OF the total population
of 155.167. more than one-third are

The population in detail comprises

been introduced into the colony 1872 In

previous year. The indentures of 1900
immigrants expired during the year.

X.Ray FOILS
SW!NDLERS In
"OId Masters"

THE latest use found for the X-ray is
to thwart the swindler who plans
theft of famous "old masters" 1t
has been made possible by the X-ray
to determine whether a picture is an
original, a restoration or a fraud
When a doubtful painting is photo
graphed with the X-rays every layer Of
color is revealed, for just as a bone ap-
pears distinctly in an X-ray photograph.
despite its covering of flesh, so heavy
pigment can be seen beneath a light sur
face color. The painting-out of a white
drapery and the substitution of a dark
form, the correction of badly-drawn
hand, the addition of a new figure to en-
hance the effect of a picture are all dis
closed by the X-rays and the swindler's
tricks clearly revealed
Another scientific method Of routing
the art swindler has been discovered by
an Edinburgh professor. He has devised
a method of analyzing paint so that he
can tell by removing from a canvas a
speck of pigment whether it is Of mod
ern production or dates from an early
period.
The professor knows exactly what
paints were available for eleven centu-
ries. and the forger who 'endeavors to
pass a modern painting after aging it by
artificial means is quickly discovered
when the professor gets to work with his
retorts and test-tubes. By this means
many so-called sixteenth century por-
traits have been found to contain mod
ern Prussian blue. daubed on the can
vas by careless forgers.

BERIBERI Caused by Steady
DIET of POLISHED RICE

eign material is applied to the polished
grain. By far the greater part of the
rice sold in the United States has been
polished and coated. The polishing re-
moves a considerable portion Of the p:o-
tein. fat, fiber and inorganic salts.
But even confirmed rice eaters in this
country also sufficiently vary their diet
to make up the loss Of the ingredients
sustained by the rice in being polished.
SO that beriberi is almost unknown here.
Physicians have determined that rice
bran. made from the part Of the grain
removed in polishing. is an important
ingredient in the elements eficacious in
the treatment Of beriberi
Recent experiments with chickens and
pigeons have shown conclusively that
beriberi causes the disappearance or

EhrIiCh'S Death
Removes ONE
of HISTORY'S
Greatest MEN

rVEN the medical press Of the most
passionate allied sympathy is giving
belated recognition to the fact that
the recent death of Professor Paul Ehr-
Itch, in Berlin, has removed one Of the
most scintillating lights of the scientific
world.
Professor Ehrlich died at the age Of
sixty-one, after having devoted lifetime
to scientific medical research. His monu-
mental discoveries were given freely to
the world. His early publications were
on the study of the blood cells and its
constituents. He also did fundamental
work in the Standardization Of diphtheria
antitoxin, working with Won Behring.
A number of experiments with syn
thetic products resulted in the production
OF atoxyl in 1910 salvarsan, and later
neosalvarsan. simultaneously with these
studies he developed what is known in
the medical profession as the "side-chain''
theory. More recently Professor Ehr-
Itch had been busy with remedies for
cancer.
Probably no living man has done so
much for the development of medical re-
search as did Ehrlich in the course of his
busy lifetime. His death at first passed
almost unnoticed in the mass of war re-
ports, but now the world has just awak-
ened to the fact that it has lost one of the
greatest geniuses of all times.
The Washington herald., 1915-10-10

THE prevalence IN the orient Of
beriberi has been traced in many
cases to the constant use Of pol
ished and coated rice. The same diet
probably explains much beriberi among
the crews of sailing vessels and tramp
steamers that are many months with
out fresh provisions.
Beriberi occurs almost exclusively in
the orient and among sailors It is q
disease attended by extreme anemia and
muscular and sensory paralysis. 1t will
be remembered that the crews OF both
German raiders that interned at New
port News after theif long cruises
were afflicted with herfbeTi.

INTERCLASS MEET
Coach Gray Plans Bringing Out
Events for Washburn.
Glass Baseball Games Start To.
morrow Afternoon.

Athletic activities at Washburn are
very much in evidence just now, and
track and field men, tennis players
and baseball enthusiasts keep the ath-
letic grounds well populated each
afternoon.
Athletic Director Glen c. Gray an
nounced Monday afternoon that an
inter-claSS track and field meet would
be held the week before the state meet
at Emporia, either the 1 4th or 18th of
May, and that the men who win in the
events of this meet will be sent to the
state affair.
A number of promising men have
signified their intention of trying for
places and in the inter-class meet a
full program of events will be held,
including pole vault, high jump, broad
jump, shot put, discus throwing 100,
22O and 44O yard dashes, half mile,
mile and two mile run, 220 yard low
hurdles and 40 yard high hurdles.
Gibson. the most promising nigh
jumper, cleared the rod the other day
at 5 feet, liz inches,s and it is
thought he will have good chance in
the state meet. MeCafferty, who won
the broad jump at the state meet last
year, is out for the same event again
and will also train for some of the
dashes. Pettijohn and Harvey have
been practicing putting the hammer
and Dwight Ream will be called upon
to uphold the colors of the school IN
some of the long distance affairs.
The inter class baseball season will
open Wednesday afternoon when the
freshmen cross bats with the sopho-
mores. Five teams, representing the
academy, freshmen, SophomOreS, jun
iors and seniors will participate in the
series, and 20 games will be played.
The games will start at 1870 each after
noon and a game will be played every
day until the schedule is completed
The men who make the best showing
in these games will be put on the team
that will play ST. Marys.
