EXPLAINS POISONING BY FOOD
Science Has Discarded Theory, Long
Held, That Ptomaines Are the
Cause of Infection.

Poisoning by food is no longer ex-
planned as ''ptomaine poisoning" but
In an address to the American AssO-
citation for the Advancement Of Science.
DR.. e. o. Jordan showed that 1t Is due
either to true bacterial toxins compare
BILE to those of diphtheria and tetanus
bacilli, or to infection with specific In
fection carried by the food article. The
best known example of the toxin-fOrm-
ing microbes is the bacillus botulinus
which has produced In the United
States % recorded cases of poisoning,
of which II were In California, while
Great Britain has reported no case.
This type of poisoning is rare, but in
fection with food-borne disease bac-
terra seems to occur In q great number
of cases. The bacteria are either pres
ent In the food itself, or the food is
The chief food-borne infections hith-
erto traced to human contamination
are typhoid fever and the various
paratyphoid infections; but to these
must be added certain infections rare
ly transmitted by any food except
milk, such as diphtheria, scarlet fever,
and streptococcus sore throat. The
type of infection from food contain
mated at its source is exempllfied In
the diseases of certain food animals.
The chief infections known to be due
to food infected at its source are those
mainly meat-borne-caused by the
group Of paratyphOid enteritidis bac-
terra, and those resulting from the use
Of infected milk. The bacterial dis
eases of plants do not infect man.

Lightning at Sea.

When proper precautions are taken
ships at sea are in no danger Of being
destroyed by lightning. OF all the dan
gers that beset the seaman, lightning
is the only one that he can guard
against with perfect thoroughness.
Permanent conductors, properly ar
ranged, offer the most complete pro-
lection from the electric fluid.
Before this fact was well under
stood, lightning was a very frequent
cause of damage to shipping. In 1908
to 1915 no fewer than seventy vessels
Of the English navy were entirely Grip
pied by being struck. 1t was a no un-
common thing for vessels to be set on
fire so completely by lightning as to
defy extinction, with the result that
those on board who were not killed by
the electric discharge In many in
stances probably lost their lives
through being unable to let down the
boats before the fire reached them.

Chinese Queues Not Barred.

Although the traffic in human hair
has not been so brisk during the past
few years as formerly on account of
the veering Of the fashions In hair
dressing toward the EXTREMIST simple
ity, there are millions of pounds of
human hair exported from China. One
of the peculiar facts In connection
with the trade is that often after the
Chinese send the hair to us we treat
1t and dye It and send II back to be
made up for special use. This is usual
ly true In regard to the invisible hair
nets which American and European
women use to keep their own locks
In order on a windy day.
The hair-net business has become of
great Importance to the province of
Shantung, which now provides practic-
ally the entire supply for the market
Thus the hair net worn by the veriest
stay-at-home in America has doubtless
crossed the ocean three times.-Popu-

The Blind l.I.0 & tile

Go az soon as possible, II you have
not already been there. TO the Mary
hand Workshop for the Blind. Fayette
and Paca streets, Baltimore, Maryland,
and see $50 blind persons at work!
n there be insurmountable miles be-
tween you and them. go In spirit.
Solomon asked for wisdom, and God
added all necessary, subordinate
things. These men ask for work, that
life may be bearable. Once inside,
you will realize that work makes the
heart glad Said a citizen, to blind
man, during recent visit, you are
too cheerful to gain much sympathy"
Many blind come and go alone to
the workshop having acquired easy
confidence in their ability to do and
dare. A Superintendent of similar
institution in the North, remarked, as
he watched the men file out, at the
close OF a we'll spent day, your men
walk with heads up like selfrespect-
ing citizens"
Visitors are impressed with the in
tegrity OF the place; such slogans as
"all work guaranteed" keep up the
standard" nothing sold not up to the
standard" are current phrases. backed
by conscientious officials. So much
for the place that transmutes despair
into courage and energy.
Others quickly comment on the
happy atmosphere of the institution.
The spirit Of friendliness is infectious.
Come and meet the sightless manager
of the Workshop. a man who has
worked for many years, side by side,
and heart to heart, with the blind. He
is man Of unimpeachable integrity,
inspiring confidence at once; one, who
always lends a sympathetic ear to the
unfortunate blind, and as surely finds
q remedy.
The instructor at the switchboard is
O fine example Of what a blind woman
may do. and do cheerfully and speedi
ly. Incidentally, be 1t observed, she
can count money. by running her fore
finger lightly over the number OF the
bill. She can distinguish dark colors
from light, and even detect stripes,
with the same unerring precision.
Don't ask US whether we can," she
said, when a new line of work was
suggested, but lead us to IT," Such
is the splendid spirit Of the Workshop
The blind instructors in the chair
Gaming department are men Of note;
men who have triumphed over diff
culties, hitherto considered insur-
mountable, and having made them
selves masters, by example and pre-
cept, help others to overcome.
We need to enlarge our plant, to
receive the 100 men on the waiting
list; to make provision for-those who
will probably come to us from "over
there" blinded in battle. Baltimore
is to be the first station
We need MONEY; that Is the moral
Of this optimistic tale. Any subscrip-
ton sent to the Maryland Workshop
for the Blind, Fayette and Paca
streets, Baltimore. Md. will be thank
fully received.
The work for the Blind requires Cash
