The deadly malady, which resem- blcs Asiatic cholera and which has killed S6 persons. mostly children, in Missouri, has crossed into Arkan- sas, six deaths having been reported at Luxora in two days. The disease, ineffective eaterocolitis, is being carried by flies and is gradually en- larging it's territory.
 Dr. U. A. V. Presnel, a prominent Missouri physician, describing the disease, said
 we doctors just have to sit by, unable to case the plain. The pain is constant Sometimes children go in to convulsions and lose conscious ness, but adults have no such relief. They have to stand it until the end comes :n one last paroXysm of pain.
 The origin of the disease is not known. A rigid investigation into the belief of some that it was due to de- liberate effort of "a human agency has failed to convince the more con- scrvative that German spies had anything to do with it.

Acid Not Only Foe to Tin.

The popular idea that only acid sub' stances attack tin is wrong. Fish, as raragus, beans. pumpkins and spin ach are not acid, and yet their corro' sion of tin is quite marked. This k probably due to aGtinO compounds substances rel;;teo. tc ammonia. In the case of shrimps the cans are often eaten through iE a comparatively short time. So alkaline is the methyamine contained in shrimrs that worklnen in the canneries find the skin peeling off their hands. Observation by some can- ners led to the discovery that if shrimps were iced for day before canning, the corrosive action of the juices was greatly diminished. This is now tba universal practice. In addi- tion tle cans are lined with paper to prevent the contact of the shrlmps and the tin.

The trouble with most discussions of the value of technical men to in- dustry is that to one class they rep resent the hero of the play-the hand some upright youth bearing the torch of knowledge into the benighted realms where ignorant and hide-bound business men dwell in outer darkness. To the other class-to those aforemen- toned gnomes-the graduate of tech nical school is the unlicked cub. lis- tened to with mock respect and dub bed "college feller," or something worse, by the honest manufacturer who, having made his pile, knows ex- actly who made it and don't pro- pose to be dictated to by any fledg- ling by writing home to father.- Dwight T.
