Syphilis to Blame.

Ann Arbor, April 13.-By boring
holes in the skulls of six hopelessly
insane patients at the Pontiac State
Hospital for the Insane with a drill
such as is used by dentists in prepar-
ing cavities in teeth, and by extract
ing a portion of the brain substance
with syringe and injecting it into rab-
bits, DR.. Udo Vile, professor of der
matology and syphilology at the Uni
versity of Michigan, has definitely de-
termined that paresis, or softening of
the brain, is caused by syphilis.
Publication of the technique of the
experiments in the Journal of Expert
mental Medicine by DR.. Vile has
aroused a storm of criticism from lay
men.

Disastrous Mountain Fires.

During the heavy wind storm, last
Friday, fire broke out at Caledonia
Springs, short distance above the
end of the Fort Mountain, it is sup
posed, from burning brush.
The forestry service was promptly
notified and number of FIRE fighters
from New Market, Mount Jackson,
Edinburg and intermediate sec ions
and from Powell's Fort from Gross
Roads, South, fought with untiring
efforts, in spite of the storm which
was CT greater intensity than was
ever known in this section. These
men succeeded in controlling the fire
on Saturday morning, after it hao
burned over from 800 to 1000 acres.
Had 1t not been for the efforts of the
forestry service, the fire would have
extended over thousands of acres of
land and would have done immense
damage to timber and proba bly, other
property.
The same day fire broke out in
Page county, S. W. of Rileyville
which burned over about 500 acres
and barely reached the Government
land
A fire broke out on Monday on the
mountain above New Market. 1t was
checked by the foresters and others
after it had burned over a consider |
able territory.
On Tuesday during st If gale a
fire broke. out from the Caledonia
Springs fire, and another started on
the East side uf Green Mountain a |
short distance below the ''sand place.
on the road from Woodstock to
DERRICK, or Cross Roads. Work at
the mines was closed and all hands |
uniting with the foresters fought the
fire. The hands succeeded n getting
this fire under control, on Tuesday |
afternoon. Several other fires have |
been reported in other sections. The |
dry weather and the high winds both !
favor the fires.
On Thurday morning all the fires
we're under control 1t is estimated
that about 5000 acres we're burned
over. No further spread of the fires
is anticipated, unless there should
be more strong winds.

The Gentle Arbutus.

Surely of the flowers the trailing
aroutus ID the sweetest. Someche once
said gift of its dainty woodland
beauty was better than diamonds.
We agree. 1t is of the very breath
and glory OF spring. 1t comes first
of all the laughing train OF blossoms
even its pink fingers unclasp the
broken ground before the blue and
blood-root venture forth. 1t has the
courage of Joan of Arc. Shakes
pear should have known it had he
wanted the real image of bud that
takes the winds of winter with beauty.
In New England where the rude
climate brings the arbutus month
after our own blessed land receives
its gentle visit, they call it the May
flower. About the tenth of May marks
its coming. Here 1t is just about to
end its early pilgrimage. We sup.
pose the New Highlander makes SO
much of 1t because OF his historic
ship, and also because after the buff
fets and misery of winter, he is So
glad to welcome some blooming thing.
But it is more than likely that the
of blue blood came over in a
ship called by the English May
flower after the hawthorne.
The exquisite charm of the arbutus
is Tits shy concealment on woodsy
banks, its revelation of faint color
and delicate fern. and its wonderful
