FISHES POSSIBLE AS
 COLD LIGHT SOURCE

Long strides are being taken by the biological department of Princeton Un- iversity to obtain light without heat, says the Electrical EXperimenter If the discovery fully realizes it's eXpec- tations it will doubtless revolutionize modern lighting.
 Profs. Edwin Conklin, Uric Dahl gren and Edmund N. Harvey are working on luminous animals in an attempt to fathom the cause of their luminosity, which is 90 per cent. light Modern electric light produces only from ? to per cent light, the rest being wasted in heat
 Prof. Harvey obtained a consider able quantity of the luminous mater ial from small fish found in Japan. He has partly analysed the substance, finding that like the proteids of the living bodies it can be kept for years by drying it and sealing it in vacuum tubes When released, moistened and exposed to oxygen it will light into clear, bluish phosphorescent flame.
 The substance is very powerful, as it is still visible when one part of it is dilutel in 100000 parts of water

ABOUT 6 PER CENT.
 KILLED IN WAR

If you. drafted man, believe that statistics tell the truth, you will feel as safe in France as you usually do in the streets of New York. So says Roger w. Babson, the eminent statis- tician. quoted by the Popular Science Monthly. Furthermore, he says that the man who is connected with the heavy field artillery is no more likely to be killed than one in the employ of a railroad.
 However, he does not hold out such high hopes for the lieutenants, ser geants and corporals, the death rate being very much greater among off cers than among privates. Also, the mortality is higher among volunteer corps than among drafted men. Six ty men per thousand are now being killed in the war, and about one hun dred and fifty men out of each thou sand cra Seu.

WHEN APPENDICITIS
 D SUSPECTED

"In suspected cases of appendicitis" said Dr. Henry P. De Forest of the New York Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital in a recent lec- ture to the city employees in the Nun icipal Building, there are several things which an intelligent person can do at the onset of an attack, real or suspected, that are quite as efficient as anything than can be done by physician.
 "It must be borne in mind by all that mere pain in the right side is not necessarily due to appendicitis. It is quite as often due to acute indigestion with resulting colic A tablespoonful of castor oil with an equal amount of glycerine in a glass of iced lemon ade can be taken at once by person who believes he has appendicitis. It can do no possible harm and may be the means of speedily and effectively fearing up the diagnosis.
 "After the oil has been taken. if the
 as our Christian Science l. -1ds would call it. still persists, the victim should go at once to bed and 6 well-flled ice bag should be placed
 T McBurney's point and there allow
 main until competent medi- cal and surgical assistance be secured Many an attack of aDnendicitiS has been eliminated by this simple pro- oedure
 Once the diagnosis has been made, however. by some one who is really qualified to give an intelligent opinion in the matter. the sooner the appen- dix is removed by operation the better Delay even for a few hours, may mean gangrene. rupture, peritonitis and death.
 Upon the only occasion that it was my good fortune to dine with the friend of all thanking, Mark Twain, he made a statement in the course of the conversation which I have often remembered and which is particularly applicable as a close to the the pres ent brief summary of the cause of appendicitis.

officially exonerated Boiling. however
from all blame for the leak on the

Suffrage Statistics Corrected.

10 Inc Editor OF Inc Star:
A typist's photographed error In the
official vote of Illinois and the Chicago
city election in the article in The Star
headed anti Replies to Senator Sha-
froth' is the cause of the different per-
centages of the mems and women's vote
obtained by myself and Mr.. Edwin A.
Grosvenor in his article printed in The
Star of January 20.
A letter dated January IS. 1917, from
Louis L. Emerson. secretary of state
Springfield, Ill. gives the mems vote
for all candidates for election Novem-
Der Z. 1916, 1.316,007 and the women's
vote SI6. 700. or $50 and a fraction men
voted for every 100 women. A letter
from Dennis J. Egan, chief clerk of the
board of election commissioners of the
city of Chicago. dated January 6, 1917,
gives the vote at city elections April 4.
1916 (where the women voted for all
the officials the men voted for). as fol-
lows: Total mems vote, 326,199; total
women's vote, 40, 1876. So 232 men voted
to every 100 women.
L am sorry the typographical error
was made in the figures of the vote,
but there was no error in the per-
centages of 232 and $50 men having
voted to every 100 women.
AS to Mr. Grosvenor'S statement re-
garding the vote in Wyoming and Del
aware. I still maintain the deadly work
of the 'votes-for- germ which
prevents one from arriving at facts, for
gave the number of men over twenty
one years of age in Wyoming as 63201
and in Delaware 61-SS7 (see page 107
abstract census, 1910, but Mr. Gros-
vernon uses the total population OF Del
aware and Wyoming, but as no state or
country has as yet given the vote to
babies and school children, 1 can hardly
understand why he should compare
total populations of the two states in
stead of populations of voting age Our
figures show that the total vote in Del
aware in November last was 51.S76 and
in Wyoming 51,S40. so, after all. Della
ware, with less men of voting age than
Wyoming, cast more votes than did the
men and women combined in the state
of Wyoming; also 232 men voted at the
Chicago city election last April to 100
women and $50 men voted in Illinois
November last to every 100 women.

I think, for instance, something might
happen now Connolly said.
Pressed as to why he took Boiling
into his firm. Connolly said he had
money" and he also liked him.
His firm. Connolly said. was making
a living" but not profiting greatly.
isn't it a fact demanded Campbell,
sternly, that you recently laid out a
great sum of money for an old coun-
try estate?
Il laid out $4,000 and my wife gave
me half of the money" Connolly said.
Connolly. at the request OF Repre-
sentative Chiperfield. promised to give
the committee list of all the persons
trading in his Office on the day he wrote
the resume of the Presidents message
He also gave the committee privately
the name of clerk in the Treasury De-
partment who has been deallng IN
stocks with him. The account was
small, Connolly said, and absolutely Is
the clerks own.

subsequently he heard from the crowd

his own impressions of what the note

sill and dashed off the prophetic re-
sumo.
After handing the message to the
operator on the Hutton firms private
wire. he never saw it again and dis
missed the matter from his mind, he
said, as he was very busy attending to
the transactions of his customers.
During the first two hours of Connolly $
examination the throng that crowded the
hearing room remained quiet and listened
attentively for any startling revelation he
might make. AT the end of that time.
however. the futile efforts of the commit
tee to swerve Connolly from his story
amused spectators and frequently the
room was in an uproar of laughter.
Examined by Mr.. Bennett.
Representative Bennett took up with
the witness the text of his resume of the
note, phrase by phrase. in an effort to
get an explanation as to how he had
happeHeu " use language which TeSe1il-
bled that of craftsmanship" but without
success.
Don't you think that this is an ex-
traordinarly prophetic resume of the
Presidents note?" he asked
Connolly replied that he did not recall
the note well enough to answer.
We'll" remarked Bennett, eff you will
read the note again your opinion of your
powers Of prophecy will go up
Testimony of Connolly and Hutton re-
garding circumstances surrounding the
sending of the various messages between
their offices on the peace note agreed save
for one slight detail. Hutton said he
thought Connolly's resume was in his
