THEY WERE ALL INSANE.
Even the Expert Witness Himself Must

Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton, in his
"Recollections of an Alieuist," relates
the following incident which occurred
In an Italian murder trial IN which he
appeared for the state:
The defense was based on the shape
of the murderer's head. and much tes-
timony had been given by an anthro-
pologist and craniologist in regard to
the shortness Of the head of the man
on trial
So improbable was the testimony Of
the head expert that Or Hamilton

Ironing Kills the Germs.

Of other families In which there may
be infectious diseases. Such, in sub
stance, is a report just issued by the
United States public health service
after an investigation by NJ. G. Schroe-
der and S. G. Switzerland of the New
York department Of health. For what
ever disease germs are not killed in the
washing will be killed by the ironing.
In fact, the ironing kills more germs
than the washing.
There is, however, danger in having
clothes washed by a laundress at her

quarters in which the laundresses live,
there is possibility of reinfection OF the

THE SINISTER DRUG MENACE
How Society Is Facing an Exceedingly
Dangerous Human Element.

How Society Is Facing an Exceedingly
Dangerous Human Element.
In rigorous effort to suppress the lille
gal sale and use of habit forming drugs
the New York police are now arresting
annually about 800 persons and secur-
ing 700 convictions. OF these fully 70
per cent have had previous police rec
ords, which include every crime in the
statutes. This is an official statement,
one of sinister portent. 1t means that
law abiding society is facing a human
element new and exceedingly danger
ous-so grave, in fact, that Que of the
most important duties of the police lies
In stamping out this traffic.
The danger is by no means confined
to large cities like New York; it is
probably growing in towns and vii
lagos all over the country. Police in
vestigations have revealed an appall-
ing increase of drug addicts. More
than one half OF those confined in the
city prison, the Tombs, were victims.
Men and women following virtually
every business, trade and profession
were included. Even school children
became addicted to the habit of using
these drugs
1t is with fun knowledge of such oc-
currences that The police are doing
everything possible to stop illegal traf-
1c in drugs Criminals of this class
present a problem even more difficult
than the old time bank robber and gen
eral crook. The police may arrest 1000
offenders annually but the problem
will not bc soly until boys and girls
are taught the terrible results which
follow upon the use of habit forming
drugs It is at this point that teachers
of physiology aud personal hygiene
must lend powerful co-opeialion.-Cen-

FOREST FIRES.

There Are Three Kinds, of Which tbs
Grown Fire is the Worst.
There are three kinds of forest fires
the surface fire. which merely runs
In the leaves and ground litter; the
ground fire." that covers the under
brush of the dense forests, and the
Grown fire." the most dangerous and
terrifying Of all. A crown fire is usu-
ally caused when the ground or surface
fire reaches the top of a ridge or knoll,
and the increased draft carries the
blaze up the trunks of the trees to the
tops OF the crowns" 1t is the crown
fires which have made the great forest
fires of history.
Surrounding the burning area by
trench from which everything down to
the mineral soil has been removed is the
only kind Of fire line which will stop
a ground fire, and it will often stop
surface fire. For surface fire whip
ping or using brush branches or water
soaked sacking to whip the burning
leaves at the edge of the fire back into
the burned area is most effective. Sand
as we'll as water Is valuable in fighting
this kind of fire too.
There is only one way to fight a
crown fire that Is, by "backfiring'' -
fighting fire with fire This method is
extremely dangerous, consisting Of set
ting a counter fire far enough from the
main body of the original fire so that
all infiammable material will be burn
ed by the time the fire reaches that
point, and the fire will die from lack
of material to feed on The backire is
set far enough from the main fire to
escape the draft which is tanning the
blaze.-New York Times.

THE MAN WHO FLIES.
He Should BE Young and Robust Both
In Body and Mind.

In Body and Mind.
The work of an aviator demands ro-
bust health OF both body and mind
From leakage of petrol spray the pilot
may become dizzy, and the exhaust
gases from the engine-carbon monox-
ide and dioxide-may cause headache,
drowsiness and malaise. The rarefed
air at great elevators may induce the
symptoms well known in balloonists,
and Wells refers to case of frostbite
In an airman who had been exposed to
"a degrees OF frost at an elevation of
$4,000 feet. Psychasthenic symptoms
namely, loss of self confidence and
the resulting mental worry (aerosthe-
nia)-are not uncommon and prove that
the victim has mistaken his sphere of
activity.
Flying is undoubtedly the job of
young man under thirty years of age,
and not every young man Is tempera-
mentally or physically fitted to carry
it through. Perfect eyesight Is neces-
sary to insure safe landing, correction
with glasses being not without its
dangers; perfect hearing Is essential TO
detect the first indications of engine
defect, and free movement of joints OF
the lower limbs to control the steering
gear
Fits and tendency to faint absolutely
deter the aspirant from the air service.
