curIna 81 EIeotrlc Shocks.

From time to time news has come of
a new electrical treatment in use in
the French army by which men, appGr-
entity hopeless cripples, have been
cured by giving them very powerful
shocks of electricity. The details Of
this treatment came out in a recent
military trial So painful are the
shocks used in the cure that many of
the soldiers refused to submit TO the
treatment preferring to remain Grip
pied. At the trial of these men it de-
yeloped that the new treatment is be-
ing used in cases of psychic shock,
where the chief injury is to the nerv-
Gus system or to the will power. Men
may be partially par0lyzed from such
purely nervous shocks, and in such
cases the new treatment has restored
the use of the affected limbs. It's ac-
ceptance has now been made compul-
sorry in some of the military hospitals,
commission of physicians having
youched for its harmlessness, in spite
Of its unpleasant nature.

ENGLAND NOW CHEWING GUM
Foreigners for Years Refused to Adopt
american Product, but Situation
Suddenly Has Changed.

For great many years American
chewing gum manufacturers hive en-
denvored to teach foreign countries to
appreciate their product, The stuff
that wags the American jaw has been
advertised assldupusly I'M France, Dngs
land and Germany, but with small
success. The non-American couldn't
understand it. He tried to swallow IT,
and when he couldn't he gave It up
rs incomprehensible nonsense. Over
Ia L6fidOn, whore It was called "Ameri-
can Chewing Candy" many shops
called attention to it, but the BritislH
ers passed it by and went on buy
Ing toffee and lolllpops and Turkish
delight.
Suddenly and without warning, the
situation has changed Remarkable
figures recently published appear TO in-
dictate that England has incontinenty
become Il ndtion of gum chewers,
Manufacturers report that within six
months they have increased their
monthly sales from 100000 to 100000
900 sticks. And the English newspa-
pers cannot understand it.
Tho explanation seems simple. It is
said that the largest amount of chew
ing gum is used in the army, and the
next largest amount in the navy. Dur
ing the last great advance, it was is
sued as an army ration. Somehow or
other tie soldiers discovered that it
tte6dled their nerves to have some-
thing to chew on in time Of stress
and Of course it has the effect #
keeping the parched throat moist. 1t
is more than probable that the Cana,
dian soldier impaired this information

preventing MIIk From Boiling over.

Among the various devices which
are intended to prevent milk from
boiling over we noticed one which
solves the problem in very simple
way, says the Scientific American. It
consists of straight tube of say two
Or three inches In diameter at the top
and expanding somewhat toward the
bottom, where 1t is provided with
haring and cup-shaped end of rather
large diameter, the whole being some
what OF trumpet shape. Out of the
lower part are cut, say, four suitable
openings, and we set the device up
right in the vessel with the small end
Just out of the liquid. Should the milk
tend to boil violently this action conf
mences at the bottom, and the liquid
is forced up the tube then falls upon
the surface again, so that the boiling
action will continue in this way and
the milk has no tendency to leave the
vessel.

PREDICTED TIMES OF DEATH
University of Pennsylvania Provost
Forecast Month and Year of His
Demise Two Years in Advance.

I heard a regular affng officer who
saw much Of General Funston id the
Philippines say half q dozen years
ago that the general was a fatalist
to this extent-he expected to die
he death of civilian and never be
killed in action, says a newspaper
writer 1909
The most peculiar prediction about
ones own death that 1 have heard
concerned Dr. William Pepper, pro-
vost of the University of Pennsyl.
vania. Frederick Traley, who lived
to be nearly a century old and who
as a young man transacted business
with Stephen Glrard and Nicholas Bid
die, and entertained Daniel Webster,
related the incident
A couple of years before Peppers
death Mr.. Fraley asked the famous
doctor to perform some service in
connection with the American Philo-
sophical society.
Cant do It," replied Doctor Pepper,
because 1 expect to die before then"
He then specified the month and
year in which he expected his life to
end.
"But," added the doctor after
pause, 'you will live until Septem-
Der, 1901"
Both men died in the month and
year predicted by Doctor Pepper.
