French Makes Gains in Night Attack.

One of the great American adventures dled re-
Gently. He was Col. Charles Chaille-Long, and his
death received the scant notice that had been
awarded many of his achievements during MS
lifetime. Soldier, author diplomatist and explorer
he lived his seventy-fve years as thoroughly as
any of his time. He knew four continents
and he solved riddle that had puzzled mankind
for many years-the source of the Nile river.
AS q youth, Chaille-Long fought with distinction
in the Civil war, says the Kansas City Times. He
entered as a prvnte and came out lieutenant
colonel Then he figured In a chapter of our his
tory that is little known to the present generation
our military mission to Egypt. khedive lsmail
wanted to reorganize his army and he wanted the
work done BY men who wOulo be free from the
petty interests and intrigues Of the various Euro
pean countries, all of which were interested IN
northern Africa. The khedive obtained the coop
GRAFTON of General Sherman. and in 1869 ten Amer
lean oficers-half of them Federals and half for
mer Confederate commanders-were sent TO Egypt
Chaille-Long was one Of the party, and be became
the widest known for his work in Africa. Some
Of the others Of the party were Generals Loring,
Libby and Stone and Majors Morgan and kennon.
Found Lake ibrahm.
Chaille-Long came under the influence Of the
famous "Chinese" Gordon then campaigning In the
Sudan. He and Gordon designed the Notifications
Of Tel-elkebir for the defense of Cairo, and Cor
don induced the American to explore the upper
Nile In two shalops constructed of tough bark
Chaille-Long and two companions continued along
the river until they found Lake 1brahim, now
known at Lake Choga. They found the bosom OF
the lake radiant with the great lotus whose leaves
are strong enough to support the body Of child.
The party discovered that the river issuing from
the Victoria Nyanza is the Nile, thus settling
question that long had troubled geographers.
On this trip Chaille-Long and his two compan-
ions. both Egyptian officers, were attacked by
force Of several hundred natives. The explorers
carried sheet-irop travelling cases. and barricaded

in these they stood off the attacking force for
hours, killing more than so natives
Chae-LOng led several expeditions into Africa,
conquering the Niam-Niam country and adding 1t
to Egypt and exploring long stretch of the East
coast of Africa that hitherto had been unknown
to civilization.
Called Back to Egypt.
His health failing under the incesSant hardships
to which he had been subjected, Challe-Long came
back to this country in 1877 and studied law. He
became an authority on international law after
ward teaching for tire in Paris. But at the time
of the Sudanese uprising in 1881 he besought
by the American government to go back to Egypt
and take charge of the consulate at Alexandria,
from which all the other Americans had fed. He
saved hundreds Of lives during those troubous
times, the consulate being made refuge for all
nationaties.
In 1887 Cleveland appointed Chaille-Long con-
sui general and secretary of the legation In COrea
The mans restless energy again manifested itself
in exploration and he made overland trip to
Seoul, discovering on the way the source Of the
Han river. Egypt called him again In 1890 and he
spent eight years there, writing and exploring.
The hOnOrs that had been tardy in their coming
began to be showered upon him then. Great Brit
ain finally recognized his share in the uncovering
Of the secrets of the Nile and gave him equal rank
with Spoke and Baker. The American Geograph-
ical society gave him gold medal, and he was
made secretary for the Universal Postal congress
at Washington and later secretary to the United
States commission at the Paris exposition 1900
Chaille-Long wrote a number of books dealing
with the lands he had explored. They are standard
works upon the littleknOwn regions of the world
but they brought him little revenue. Though half
a dozen nations honored him with medals and IT,
ties, he died a comparatively poor man. His only
reward of any consequence wGs the tribute paid
him by Chinese" Gordon another of the great ad-
venturers: This man deserves to rank with the

terested In the study Of cancer. He gave great
deal Of his time watching some OF Engand's IA
nous physicians hard at work in the Imperial
Cancer Research laboratory, the Middlesex Hos
fital Cancer laboratory, and the laboratory pre-
sided by Sir A. Z. Wright, who originated
the idea Of vaccination against typhoid. He visited
the Pasteur institute in Paris, and there saw
monkeys inoculated with the products of infantie
paralysis. Naturally he became greatly enthused
the possibilities Of serum treatment, and he
came home with the determination to make an
attempt to discover a serum to cure cancer, dia-
betes, golfer and pernicOus anemia, the most diff
f1cut chronic disease to fight. He has been sue
ceSsful in treating some remarkable cases OF
gOiter without reSOrting to operation. Many
cures of diabetes have been reported, and encour-
aging results have been obtained in pernicious
anemia.
Doctor Rogers treatment Of the blood seems TO
bring out remarkable energizing qualities Just as
the latent energy residing in water may be con-
verted by application of heat into an expansive
vapor steam, having a force capable of driving
great engines and draw long, heavy freight trains,
and just as the latest energy residing in gasoline
may be transformed by intinitesima sparks into
an expansive gas having force capable Of pro-
polling automobiles, airplanes and submarines at
q wonderful speed, the latent energy in the
blood seems by the injection of few drops of the
new serum directly into the veins. to be converted
into "antibodies" which manifest their power and
activity IN thousand ways, ana IN an amount out
of all proportion to the tiny spark of substance
that inaugurated their activity set them on fire.
An interesting fact about this serum is that 1t
cannot be made by the wholesale and sold as
patent medicine, because the patients own blood
must be used in making 1t. 1t is created on the
basic principle that like cures like and the
serum must be prepared individually for every
patient.
In acute bacterial diseases it is considered
good practice the world over to secure when
possible some Of the germs causing the disease,
and then inject them after being killed by heat and
suspended in solution, into the patient whose
sickness they caused. Doctor Rogers affirms that
when he basis for his serum the blood
Of a patient suffering from chronic complaint he
undoubtedly collects of these imperfect cells
which are causing the disease.
