ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1sS9-Jack Ashton knocked out Joe Lannan in 18th round at Saltwater, R. I. Ashton and Lannan were two of the prominent runners-up in the heavyweight division during the John l.. Sullivan ring era. Ashton first got in the Iimelight when he fought Jake K1lrain in Brooklyn in 1886. It was understood that the victor was to have the privilege of fighting John l.. for the title. Jake won the decision, although not by any wide margin. Lannan. a native of Prince Edward Island, Canada, was a good heavy weight. Prior to his session with Ashton he had knocked, out Frank Herald and John Lough1in and had fought a draw with George Godfrey, but had been defeated by Jake Kill rain at Watertown and by Pat Killen at St. Paul. The Canadian demand ed a return bout with Ashton, but the police interfered and the cops also stopped a, contest between Lannan and Peter Jackson. In 1892 Lannan was knocked out by George Godfrey, the ring, although he later fought in England. Ashton went to Australia, where he was defeated by Joe God dard.

Blood TRANSMISSION,

This months number of La Revue
describes a new method of TRANSMISSION
of blood an operation often necessary
under conditions which do not always
allow certain precautions to be taken.
The method is due to Prof. Luis
Agote, an Argentine surgeon, and su-
cessful experiments have been made
before the rector of the Sorbonne, the
dean of The faculty of medicine, and
several professors and doctors.
Blood is taken from the bend of the
elbow of the subject willing to lend
his aid and collected in a receptacle
which contains a solution of neutral
citrate of soda, prepared in the pro-
portion of one gram of salt for 100
grams of blood. This mixture pre-
vents the blood from coagulating,
without destroying its vital pro- ~
ties, and as the citrate employed is in
offensive to the organism it can be in
iected into the forearm without dam
ger, thus obviating the chief draw
backs to the TRANSMISSION as generally
practiced.
The receptacle for the blood drawn
is a graduated glass with double tub
ing and has a large enough opening to
allow the blood to fall directly into
it. The end is pointed to allow the
tube for injection to collect the maxi
mum of blood without allowing air to
enter. From three to five grams of So
luton are placed in it, a sufficient
quantity for 500 grams of bloOd.-Paris

WHISPERED STORY OF RUTH
And Each Little Jewish Girl Was Re-
warded With Feast Cake for
Her Effort.

In the East side of New York as
in the East end of London, the Jewish
quarter Of Paris or Judengasse of Ber-
lin. thousands # Jewish mothers and
grandmothers gathered the little
daughters of the family to them one
night recently. Into tiny ears was
whispered the story of Ruth, the faith
full. In each kitchen stood a new
broom, and tallow candles burned
brightly on tables spread with meats,
wines and cakes.
Little daughter" each mother whis-
pered. do you know what Ruth said
to Naomi?"
"Yes," each little girl replied eager
ly. She had rehearsed the great epic
for weeks. Ruth said 'Entreat me
not to leave thee, or to return from
following after thee. For whittier thou
goest, l will go; and where thou lodg
est, 1 will lodge; thy people shall be
my people, and thy god my Cod"
And, beaming her pride, each moth
er then said:
Good Here is a cake for you'll"
Thus the feast of Shabuoth was
ushered in. The broom was just as
much part of the ceremony as the
reward of cake. With it one could
sweep out the spirits and demons, the
scheidim and masikim, which ghetto
traditions of the medieval ages inpist
are present during Omer, the time be-
tween Passover and Shabuoth.-New

lnuestinatinn New Serum.

Scientists in the Johns Hopkins uni
versity are experimenting with a new
ly discovered serum which they believe
will eventually be able to restore a
person to life after asphyxiation or
drowning. The experiments performed
upon animals in number of instances
restored them to life after they had
been to all appearances dead for sew
eral hours. A few days ago an ami
NAL was brought back to life four
hours after its apparent death by the
injection of this serum. In this case,
however, the animal died shortly after
ward from blood pressure. 1t is be-
lieved that this tendency can be over
come and the new serum utilized in
the resuscitatiOn of human beings who
would otherwise "die" permanently.

That makes coercion very difficult.
BYt l do not think that the modern
parent desires to coerce as much as

develop the child's personality, and In
its early days this leads to horrid
results, to children being taught to

REASONS FOR GROWING OLD.
Men of Research Have Been Unable
to Agree as to Why the Human
Frame Debititates.

To the question. "Why do we grow
old?" many answers have been given.
Meischnikoff suggested that we are
poisoned by the absorption Of the pro-
ducts of bacterial activity in the large
intestine, for this brings about hard
ening of the walls of the arteries and
also corrupts our bodyguard of
wandering amoeboid cells SO that they
become traitors, turning upon the
cells of the central nervous system.
Others have suggested other modes
of administration. To some it has
tear of hard-wOrker organs like brain
and heart, liver and kidneys, for a
chain is no stronger than its weak
est link. Others have referred to the
waning activity of the all-important
organs of internal secretion, and
others to the important fact that there
is no multiplication or replacement of
the cells of our central nervous sys-
tenn after a very early date in our life.
1t may be pointed out, however, that
most, if not all, of the theories break
down because they do not admit of
all-round application. Thus it is
plain that many animals that are not
troubled with a large intestine never
theless grow old. Furthermore, the
theories seize on symptoms rather
than on causes, for while it is good
sense to refer to wear and tear, the
question arises why all animals do not
exhibit the perfect recuperation to
which some at least have attained.
Prof. Child, of Chicago, has been
working for Is years or more with
simple creatures called Planarian
worms. One of the features of their
life which he brought to light is their
capacity for periodically becoming
young again. Thus it often happens
that a Planarian separates off the
posterior third or quarter of its body,
which speedily grows into a whole,
while the diminished original heals
itself and grows a new tail. When
a Planarian is starved it can continue
living on it's own resources for sew
eral months. It's cells become smaller
and they also become fewer, but life
is rot surrendered. Such facts have led
Prof. Child to survey of the animal
kingdom, the result of which is to
show that there is a much wider oc-
currence of rejuvenescence than has
been hitherto realized. 1t occurs
especially in connection with vege-
tative multiplication, but there are
other occasions in which the creature
becomes younger in whole or in part
by lying low for a season. Perhaps
this may be part of the value of pro-
ment which occur in winter in some
animals and in many plants.

Nominating cardinals.

The ceremony of nominating cardi-
mails, which takes place at Rome, is
not without its picturesque side. The
consistory of the sacred college meets
In secret-though particulars of the
proceedings are afterwards given to
the press-and, following upon a brief
address, the pope names the persons
he wishes to elevate to the purpN.
His nomination is final, but in accord
ance with the old custom when the
cardinals voted for the election of
their comrades, he asks, "What is your
desire?" The cardinals then silently
lay down their red silk caps, rise, and
bow. 1t is the formal assent, and the
new cardinals are declared elected
England has cardinals other than
those created by the pope. At one
time there were officials of that title
attached to a number of her cathe-
drals, whose duty it was to visit the
sick and relieve the needy, but st.

of senior and a junior cardinal,

SPURNED LOVER KILLS TWO
Farmer Near Waupaca Shoots Sixteen
Year Old Girl and Her Mother
and Ends Own Life.

Waupaca-Frenzied because 16-year-
Old Elizabeth Luft is said to have re-
fused his offers of love, Bert H. Drew,
40, farmer six miles south of Wau-
paca, took rifle, rushed across the
country road to the girls home, shot
her and her mother, Mrs Adam Luft,
and then sent bullet into his own
breast, dying almost instantly. The
shooting took place before the slain
girls 10-year-old brother, who saved
his life by flight.
Drew was bachelor, who had lived
twenty years in the community. Since
the death of his mother last spring the
members of the Luft family occasion
ally visited him. Elizabeth Luft was
his frequent companion, but as Drew's
infatuation grew she resented his ad-
vances, it is said.
Broken furniture in the Luft home
indicated that there was a struggle.
Three shots were sent into the moth
er's body, any one of which would have
proven fatal. A single bullet through
her heart killed the girl. Adam Luft,
the invalid father of the girl, escaped
Drew's attention.

by the town of Sharon, which wanted
to get rid of an unproductive electric
light plant after it had burned down.

Madison-Over $5,000,000 has been
collected since the inheritance tax law
was put into effect in 1904, says John
Harrington, special inheritance tax
counsel for the tax commission. The
receipts for the past year show a re-
turn of $465,862. This is a decrease
of over 100000 over 1915.

for the present fiscal year will be
large. Counsel Harrington has just Sc
cured settlement from the estates of
Albert w. Pettibone of La Crosse, and
Albert c. Ringing of Baraboo The
estate of the former was $1,02O,531,
