thing regarding this old woman seemed
bona fide to Barnum, says the writer, SO
the then young Snowman invested $1,000
in the freak. But it was fraud.
Do you remember the Circassian girls

From the Augusta Chronicle.
An innovation in demonstrating dis
eases has been introduced by the Amer
lean Museum Of Natural History in
New York. The contrasts that may be
witnessed are the most striking. Along
side of whales and prehistoric dino
saurs one may see the whole panorama
of animals life. down to the minute ty-
phoid bacillus, described as being 80
tiny that 4oo,o00,O0O of them can be
packed into a grain of sugar"
The educational value of such an ex-
hibit is hard to describe. The American
Museum Journal states that the value
OF this collection is explained by the
fact that a discoverer of new microbe
mas hitherto been forced to depend for
Identification upon comparison with
written description. The need of a
permanent standard collection of bac-
terra types has been seriously felt by
our American authorities In this mu-
scum living bacteria is undoubtedly
proving it's worth.
The wonderful progress that has
been made in combating disease by the
use OF serum and antitoxins has been
most marvellous, and there is hardly
any doubt but that this remarkable
collection will still further augment
the excellent achievements already re-
corded in this direction

MEXICO IN THE FUTURE

Opinion is we'll grounded that Europe's
war was all that averted critical issue
between the, United States and foreign
powers in relation to Mexico. A declar-
alton which accords with this belief was
expressed by DR.. David Jayne Hill, for
mer American ambassador to Germany,
who predicted recently that we shall face
such issue as soon as Europes war ends.
In DIR. Hills view, which warrants at
tention because Of his diplomatic insight
into foreign relations. the European cred
itors of Mexico will press their claims,
and the United States must be prepared
to dea! with such contingency.
Whether the various revolutions and
counter revolutions in Mexico are sup
pressed or not, and regardless of the In
dividual who may be claiming authority
in that country, DIR. Hill gives warning
that when Europe is ready to act In
Mexico a demand will be made for the
payment of the bonds issued by the

BOBBY BURNS SPIRIT

From the New York Telegram.
Revolt was temperamental and chronic
in Burns. Sometimes this revolt was
followed by reaction of feeling; then
the baffled rebel could only fall back
upon resignation, upon a fatalism that
soured the heart and turned mirth to
melancholy, upon a pessimism that closed
all doors of hope for the poor with
added proofs that man was made to
mourn and death the poor mans dear
est friend. the kindest and the best" but
this revolt was a constant factor in
Burns career.
1t made him the fiery democrat, the
whig partisan; it got him into trouble by
tempting him to approve in public of the
earliest outbursts of the French revolu-
ton.
And yet revolt was restrained in him by
profound insight of the law of compen-
sation. He perceived that honest poverty,
clean. well hammered. blessed with rev.
erence, was never the fit object of pity,
for the poor, on tie average, were more
happy than the rich.

British losses during the month Of
August were 127,4S5.
OF course, most of these were in the

This is at the rate of over 1900, 900

In addition, there are the losses from
sickness, incapacity, desertion or other
causes
Lloyd-George once told Parliament
that armies melted at the rate of is
per cent month. Thus the need of
constant recruiting.
Kitchener left as a heritage a famed
army of 100000. How many there
now are is not known.

KRONSTADT, HUNGARY

Ten years after the founding of tho
order the knights received from King An
drew of Hungary the district of Buren,
land in appreciation of their aid in sup
pressing the Humans. In the same year
Kronstadt was settled and Immediately
began to flourish, with numerous sub
sidiary villages springing UP on the
nearby Burzen plain.
"One of the most hallowed buildings
in the city is the famous Protestant
church, Familiarity called the Black
church, because its interior was hope
lessly blackened by the smoke of the de-
structive conflagration of 1859. 1t was in
this church, which was built In the first
quarter of the fifteenth century, that the
great Apostle of Pennsylvania Johannes
Honterus d49S-1549), a native son.
preached the doctrines of the reforma-
ton. 1t was Honterus also who estab-
lished the first printing press in Transyl-
vania.
"The valley in which Kronstadt re-
poses is dominated by the lofty Zinns
which towers 1900 feet about the town
and which commands a magnificent view
of the surrounding country. in all direc-
tions. On the summit is millennium
monument erected 20 years ago to cele-
brate the thousandth anniversary Of thu
founding of Hungary.
Southwest of the town on the outskirts
near the Rumanian quarter is Salomons-
felsen, or Colomon's rock, with a cavern
in which the Hungarian King Solomon is
supposed to have lived in hiding for q
time after his defeat by the Bulgarians

years before the birth of the city,"

PURIFYING OYSTERS (

From the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle
1t has remained for writer in the
Medical Record to give some details ~
garding the so-called publication Of
the oyster. which, while interesting in
way, are not especially appetizing. He
sets forth that the tendency of the oys-
ter to self-purification when transferred
to fresh water has long been known, but
he adds that experiments are now being
conducted to accomplish the result
through the use of 10 per cent solution
Of calcium hypochlorite. 1t is said that.
a considerable publication of the oysters
placed in the solution occurred within
six hours, and a remarkable publication
within "a hours. AS an experiment in
chemistry the result would appear to be
satisfactory; but the average ultimate
consumer would prefer oysters which had
been grown in waters from which dam
gers OF pollution were absent.
