THAT HUMORS

MAKING OF DYESTUFFS
IN US. IS PLANNED
Supply for Textile Mills and Other
Industries to Be Manu-
factured Here.

Coal tar products and other dyestuffs
are to be manufactured in the United
States to supply textile mills and other
industries, since these products, which
usually come in large quantities from the
sovernment-ow plants in Germany,
have been cut off by the war.
Reports to the Department of Commerce
made public show that at least six plants
are in course of construction for the
manufacture of the coal tar derivatives
upon which the colors used in cloth manu-
facture, varnshes and other products are
based.
Approximately s6,0oo,o00 is TO be ex-
pended. and within a rev months IT is
estimated that much OF the material for
the simpler dyes heretofore pur-
chased in Germany at a cost of $4,000
600 annually will he turned out in the
United States. The more complicated
chemicals. however, will require a greater

Study of Parasitism Essential.

The speaker said proper study of in
fectious diseases is essentially study
of parasitism, the principles involved
being similar to those which the en-
tomologists have been considering for
years.
THE complicated stages through
which insects pass and the marvelously
intricate developments and infections
are scarcely comprehensive to the lay
man; one instance of peculiar trans
mission was mentioned. A certain fly
larvae of tropical America causes tu-
mors under the skin of human beings.
The eggs of this fly are not, however,
deposited in the skin by the parent fly,
but are laid on the leaves of plants.
For their transmission to the human,
the service of another insect is neces-
sary: the eggs being sticky, adhere to
the legs of certain mosquitoes which
frequent such places and by them are
conveyed to the human skin. In the
meanwhile the eggs have had time to
hatch and the minute larvae crawl
from the insects to the human beings
and soon burrow beneath their skin.
Problems Complex and Formidable.
"Heredity and other physical science
problems enter into the study OF the
insects and their infection of other
beings and animals. making the prob
lens of the students of disease biology
most complex and formida BILE. Or.
Hunter mentioned the connection of
such common insects as the cockroach,
the house fly, the flea and louise, with
the development of other disease-bear-
ing insects, and showed the remark :
able Importance in which these insects
are being held. Cockroaches. for in
stance may become connected with tu-
berculosis or similar maladies."
DR. Hunter stated that the future
physician must be Il naturalist and an
entomologist in order to cope with the
infectious diseases.

Diseases Traced to Insects.

Up until recently it has not occurred
to the world that the tropical and re-
motely located diseases are of any
danger to them. but there is malaria,
for instance, which, it is estimated,
causes a loss of al least one hundred
millions annually. Although the spotted
fever is restricted to small locality,
there is no reason why its frightful
ravages with a death rate of 95 per
cent might not become established in
other parts of the country. The splen-
etic fever of cattle affects profoundly
the agricultural industries and eco
nomic conditions of a large part of this
country.
These diseases are caused by in
sects, that is, in which the intervention
of insects is said to be obligatory; an
other great group comprises the dis
eases IN which the action of the in
sects is accidental. This includes such
diseases as tuberculosis. typhoid fever
and possibly pneumonia and several
other maladies. From bubonic plague
we are scarcely safe on account of our
increasing intercourse with other parts
of the world, furnishing opportunities
for the introduction of diseases in
many cases transmitted by insects with
which we have not had to contend here
of

Organisms Developed by Insects.

In this research it developed that
the organism which caused this diseas
had life cycle outside OF the cattle, it
being necessary for the parasite to
pass through a certain tick in which it
went through certain transformations
necessary for the completion of it's
maturity. This laid the foundation for
remarkable progress in the study of
disease. and since that time many other
organisms have been found to be de-
pendent upon insects for their develop
ment.
Examples are malaria, yellow fever.
sleeping sickness, Rocky mountain
spotted fever and typhus fever. which
has attracted great attention on ac-
count of its ravages in the European
armies Still others are dengue fever,
bubonic plague. and a long list of mala-
dies of domestic and wild animals.

PLACES LOSSES OF
ALLIES AT 5000, 1000
German Citizen Gives Figures on Kill.
ed, Wounded and Captured
sia's Loss Heaviest.

BERLIN, June 20 Correspondence
of The Associated Press.) = More than
100000 soldiers of the countries at
war with Germany, it is estimated, have
been killed, wounded or captured.
These figures, compiled almost exclusive
ly from papers or magazines published
in foreign countries by Herr Und Poll
tik, are presented in an effort to show
that Italy S entry into the war cannot
hope to offset, numerically, the losses
of her present allies.
Herr Und Politik purposely goes out
side of Germany for estimates Of
the French, English and Russian losses.
so far as possible, in order to err on the
side of conservatism and not lay itself
open to charges of Initiation. The
French estimates are taken in part from
Italian papers, the French journals pub
lish no losses, and some of the Russian
figures have been secured in the English
publications.
Russia is shown to have been the
heayiest loser, with more than 1000, 900
men, it is estimated. The figures are
obtained in the following fashions:
There are more than 100000 Russian
prisoners of war in Germany at pres
ent, according to the German general
as January, placed the Russian dead
and wounded list at 100000. Since
then there have come the Masurian
Lakes battles and the Carpathian vic
tories, with Russian losses estimated
by Called papers even at 650,000 men
at the very least.
In Germany at present there are over
100000 French prisoners of war, in
addition to which the French losses are
known to have been huge The
Italian paper, Corriere Della Sera, es-
Inmates that the French army has lost
half its strength in dead and seriously
wounded, and the London Daily Mail
Iplaces the French loss in dead, wounded
and captured at 100000 as a mini
mum.
The balance of the estimated 5000
600 IS made up, Herr Und Politik be
heves, by the British and Belgian
losses Of all kinds, and the total ii
feels is rather too low than too high
From its statistics it draws the con
iclusion that "the accession of Italy
ito the ranks of our enemies will not
snatch victory from us. -

INTERNAL MACHINE
IN NATIONAL CAPITOL
Public Reception Room in the Senate
Wing Wrecked by Explosion
About Midnight.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The public
reception room in the senate wing of
the capitol of the United States was
wrecked just before midnight by an
explosion, probably caused by an infer
nal machine. No one was injured and
today only one clew, a letter received
by the Washington Times, bearing a
postmark timed before the explosion.
The letter, although written June /,
was mailed last night at 10 O'Clock.
nearly two hours before the explosion
took place. 1t was signed by r. Pearce,
was typewriter and indicated that
the writer had been waiting for an op-
portunity for carrying out his plans.
Oply one man of that name is in the
Washington city directory. Search was
begun.
Officials were at first inclined to be-
lieve that the explosion was caused by
spontaneous combustion or escaping
gas, but they abandoned that line of
search and proceeded on the theory
that the explosive was planted bv a
crank seeking to create a sensation or
a foreign sympathizer seeking to regis
ter his disapproval of the policies of
the government. A fragment of chlo-
ride of silver dry cell such as is used
in explosive apparatus was found
about 100 feet from the window in the
reception room where the explosion oc-
cured.
Prof. Charles Monroe, expert Oh high
explosives made minute examina-
tion and stated it might have been
used to explode an internal machine.
1t is entirely probable that this
cell was thrown by the force of the
explosion last night to the spot where
it was found this morning, said Supt.
Woods
"The only theory I have of this af-
fair is that it was perpetrated by
scmo crank. | DO not see how else
there could have been an explosion -
NJ. D. Louthan, chief of the capitol
police, before he knew of the publish
ed letter, had declared it was possible
for a man to enter the capitol last
night through an open window Only
one policeman was on guard last night
in the senate wing At the time of the
explosion, this officer was making his
rounds and was in the rotunda The
only other man in the senate wing
was Watchman Jones, who was seated
near the main door on the floor below
Supt. Woods and his assistants be,
lieve the explosive had. been placed
near the telephone switchboard or on
4 window sill behind, whore it would
not be noticed. 1t was at this point
where the explosion did the most
damage.
