Writing at HIGH Speed.

Cardinal Newman once said, accord
ing to Lord Acton's report, that moth
ing is fit to be printed that has not
been written twice over"
Nothing? Not even the Waverley
novels?
The more rapid method is not al
ways and altogether fatal to distin-
guished writing. AS there are orators
who capture their most telling phrases
when face to face with an audience, so
here are writer's to whom the happy
thought and the exact word come most
readily when the printer is clamoring
for copyslips.
At any rate, the demand for high
speed in composition saves man from
the over-elaboration the finicky search
for the unconventional, which makes
some ingeniously fashioned pages al
most unreadable.
And, If it comes to that, were not

DENIES VIRTUE OF MAIDSTONE
California Newspaper Thinks superstI.
tlon Has Much to Do With Belief
In Its Effectiveness.

Belief in the virtue of the mad.
stone" for curing the bites of insects
and reptiles and preventing hydropho-
bia is "Reminiscences of ancient super
stition. 1t is simply q hangover"
from the days when the causes of dis
eases were unknown-when most dis
eases were supposed to be caused by
evil spirits or other equally intangible
things. We know now that the poi
soning from insect and snake bites is
due to toxin injected into the blood,
and that hydrophobia is the result of
a germ.
There is Just one way in which the
application of a maidstone might be
beneficial. II it were boiled in milk
and applied to the wound made by a
mad dog, piping hot, it might eau
terize the tissues and thus destroy the
germs. Otherwise 1t could have no
possible effect, except in the mind of
the victim. But there are several
other methods of cauterizing and dis
injecting wound that are simpler,
better and less painful. The tincture
of iodine, or pure alcohol, or dilute
carbolic acid are the modern substi-
tutes that are much more effective
than even a thoroughly boiled mad
stone.-Los Angeles Times.

whined, and at that moment he seemed
to shed al, his bombast and self-as-
sertion. The man at my side was
nothing more than an Egyptian fellah

fear of death was heavy upon him.
1T is the bubonic plague, the milder
form, and IL inoculated myself

me free, Won Elsmer. We shall DIE
here together"
His mumbling voice penetrated my
consciousness all through the night.
Sometimes he grovelled before the
image of God In his heart--what God
never knew. Somewhere supersti-
ton, not faith, had set up her throne
in him. About midnight he lapsed
into delirium. At dawn he died.
The Arabs shook me out of my
lethargy. They gave me water and
unfastened the ropes that bound me
to the dead man. They seemed
afraid, and their curious mumbling
speech at last reached my apprehen-
sion. opened my eyes and saw that
their faces were swollen as mine was.
They, too, were in fear of death.

down toward the sea, and saw the

hrious still, all my purposes set upon

then, we can transform the coryza
germ into the pneumonia germ, which
everybody carries in his throat with
out injury to himself until the lower
ing of the vitality enables 1t to pro-
liferate and fasten upon the lungs.
From the pneumonia germ, by the
same process, we get the typhoid
From the typhoid the bacillus of an
thrax. Then come two diplomococci
which are innocuous to man but very
deadly in the sheep. From the sec
ond we get the germ Of yeast,
which, in turn, under suitable
conditions, becomes cholera. Then
follow scarlet fever, blue mold,
the Tactic organism that curdles milk,
the vinegar germ, an unknown which
l call x, and-pneumonic plague. And
these are the successive transforma-
tions of the original, benign coryza."
He began to pace the room enthusi-
astically, swinging his Icing arms like
fails. There seemed a supernatural
power in him, as the bald head con-
tanned superhuman ingenuity.
Herr Won Elsmer," he said, COM
ing close to me again, you and I are
educated men. We know that matter
is all that exists. Some might think
1t wrong to destroy the inhabitants
Of peaceful Socotra in order to pro-
vide an experiment for greater holo-
caust. But we are not burdened with
souls and consciences and all the rest
of the ghostly paraphernalia invented,
as Nietzsche says, for the enslave-
ment of the strong by the weak. In
three weeks, Herr Won Elsmer, my
germ will have been created and So
cotra becomes a desert Woe to Eng
land then! The song of hatred shall
sound louder than the shell. Our army
of pneumococci shall sing more fierce
ly than q thousand bullets!"
realized that his hatred Of Eng
land had become an obsession with
him. The seriousness Of the situa.
tion came home to me now. My only
means of coping with him was by
murder; to that could not stoop, and
my hope was to keep him under OBJ

swarms. But what did the Anglo
Saxons do? They exterminated the
Celts and occupied an empty land.
Very well. The modern world is too
squeamish to tolerate wholesale
slaughter. But if we can in
troduce a germ which will wipe
out the inhabitants of the island with
out leaving one survivor? A germ
which will kill infallibly? A germ
which shall instill its virus into every
man, woman and child, without excep-
ton? Eli, Herr Won Elsmer?"
The horror of the conception fas-
tened itself On me. understood now
that this fiend was experimenting
with such a germ in Socotra, with
view to devastating the island as an
experiment. If he succeeded he would
repeat the procedure in England.
But is there such a germ" asked,
restraining my impulse to draw my re-
volver and destroy him. "And how
will you procure it?"
There is such germ, Herr Won
Elsmer," he answered, "and it can be
procured. 1t is the pneumonia plague.
Not bubonic, observe, from which
a full fifty per cent recover under ia
vorable circumstances, but the pneu-
monte, which, during the late epidem-
ic in Manchuria, slew exactly one hun
dred per cent Of those whom 1t at
tackled. Nobody who was infected
with it survived. Unfortunately we
do not know where to find the germ,
for the disease disappears periodical
ly from the face of the earth, and this
is one of its quieseent periods"
Then how can you obtain it, Feb
met Effendi?"
Upon these goat-broth prepare
tions," he answered, you will see a
certain germ. Observed"
He poured drop of bouillon from
a test tube on one of the slides and
pushed it beneath the microscopes.
Within the clear drop of jelly / could
see a multituds OF tiny organisms.
That is the coryza germ, which
produces the common cold" said the
Egyptian. do you know that within
the past year the discovery has been
made that ali germ life is a variation
OF single organism and can be trans
formed? It is the greatest discovery
since Pasteur. Under the violet ray.

cottoneeed flour Nutrltlous.

Flour made from cotton seed is a
valuable food for general consump-
ton, and an inexpensive substitute
for meat. II is remarkably high in
protein, which is the hesh-producing
substance of meat, and is readily d.
gested by the gastric Juices.
Cottonseed flour is made from the
kernel Of the seed after the oil has
been pressed from it. It is a highly
concentrated food and is in no way In
tended to replace wheat flour or other
cereals. It could not safely be used
as such because an excess of protein
is probably as damaging to the hu-
man system as the lack OF it, 1t
should be mixed with three or four
parts OF wheat flour in making into a
dough.

After breakfast, wEon he had
thawed out a little, he took me into
his laboratory, which was better
equipped than had expected There
was large table, on which he had
laid out his specimens, his micro
scopes, test tubes and slides. Upon
the floor concoction of broth was
boiling over an alcohol lamp. There
was cold jellied bouillon in a large
jar, which, he informed me, he him
self had prepared.
"Ayesha can't Jelly bouillon," he ex-
planned. Curse the little devil! Some
day 1 shall take a whip to her. But
it will be fine feast, Herr Won Els
mer-a devils feast, and, IL it proves
successful, as l have no doubt, we
shall hold a banquet in London"
He handed me a cigar and began
fussing with the slides. Presently
he turned to me abruptly.
You are acquainted with my plans,
Herr ven Elsmer?", he inquired.
NO." replied. THAT is the reason
why have come here"
He grunted and began pacing the
floor, swinging his long, gorillalike
arms. The mans resemblance to one
Of the anthropoids was a startling
one: he was an anthropoid with the
brain Of a man and the soul Of a fiend.
1t was fascinating, an appalling COM
bination.
Presently he came close to me. I'VE
are fighting England" he said, land we
shall show no more scruple than she
has shown. Picture that accursed is
land, Herr Won Elsmer, with its huge,
sprawling, ramshackle, indefensible
empire, standing in the way of all hui
man aspirations. She has robbed all
nations OF their birthright. And It is
fitting that we shall rob her of her
own. We Moslems have too long
been cooped up in the arid, sitting
plains Of Asia Minor and in the sands
Of Egypt. But suppose England, with
her fertile fields, were ours-empty?
THAT Is the dificulty. Even when
we have conquered England we shall
still find 1t overrun with her british
