Heating serum at a steady tempera- ture over this long period in ordinary practice is difficult and too expensive.
 Attempts also were made to make clear serum by centrifugalizing. It was found, however, that while the centrifuge would separate to some eX- tent red cells, they were in such shape that it was difficult to separate the serum completely. An important quantity of antibodies were left be- hind in the red clot, and the resulting product was a cloudy rather than a clear serum. With this process, more over, it was possible ordinarily to secure only about 90 per cent of serum. Under the new method it is possible to secure as high as "A per cent of clear serum, which in actual test has proved to be fully potent. This clear serum, moreover, can be completely sterilized in 30 minutes. whereas the old serum had to be heat ed steadily for 12 hours.
 The new form of serum, as far as the Department knows is not yet be- ing made or put on sale by the com mercial serum laboratories. As this process was discovered by the Fed eral government, any one in the Unit cd States is frea tO uSa tO

The Greek service is somewhat SINH

is no wax doll. The Armenian Christ
mas service, which is held twenty-six
days after the Latin, possesses eXtraor-
binary characteristics. After prayers
and the burning of incense the wor-
shippers gather round a large cal
dron, from which they extract meat
and soup, which are eagerly consumed,
the Armenians having tasted prior to
these celebrations.

half are in the back camps.
Several hundred persons are
reported marooned near Doug
las, and will be without food
unless aid is sent to them soon.
Houses are inundated in the
other flooded towns, and hun
dreds are marooned in New

they have provisions.

Negro Convicts in Peril.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 1.-The most
serious situation in the most wide
spread flood Arkansas has ever known
appears to be at the state farm at
Cummins, in Lincoln County,
There about 400 negro convicts are
huddled on what remains of the Arkan-
sas River leyee that broke Monday
night. Their position is perilous. The
steamer Bay Queen, carrying John T.
Burkett, member of the state peniten-
tiary commission, steamed out of Pine
Bluff this afternoon in an unsuccessful
effort to rescue them II today's sec
ond expedition is a success, the con.
yicts will be taken to Swan Lake, fif-
teen miles up the river from the state
farm, where they will be placed on
a train and brought to the pententiary
at Little Rock. The swift current and
the swollen condition of the river
makes the trip hazardous.
Commissioner Burkett said that If
the conyicts are rescued, he will send
the steamer back down the river to
rescue several hundred people who are
marooned by flood waters near Doug
las. Another levee has broken there.
The Bay Queen carried provisions suf-
ficient to last ten days. The white con-
victs were removed from the state
farm last night.
