WASHINGTON, Dec 3.--Onc of the
branches Of activity of the United

even goes beyond them TO put persons

vidualized talents or training may be
Of the plaatest possible value in the
national Life.
H. p. Rushing, head Of the section,

They are perhaps the only two heads of

manner. An applicant is given plenty

talks he is unconsciously revealing hls

Of human nature. who know just how to

was not certain just what he could dc

of November 23, which gives the Ger

done in Gcrmany's behalf in this neu-

"rhe trials in connection with the
discovery of bombs ut Zurich, says
this German newspaper, "have led to
the disclosure Of a terrorist service OF
the German General Staff in Switzcr-

and consular couriers, explosives and
bacili cultures were supplied, espe-
cially to Italian and French anarchists,
in order that might practice sabotage
in their countries and spread disease
among the army horses.
"In some of the Swiss newspapers the
opinion is expressed that the German
authorities would not have been dis
pleased at the outbreak Of disorders in
Switzerland itself, because they hoped
for the consequent infection OF neigh
boring countries, of course, with the
exception of Germany, which they hello
to be absolutely immune.

opinion that at this time, when
the opportunities for the sales of dogs
are in measure limited, excepting in
the local territory, the one subject which
should deeply interest the breeder and
fancier is breeding. "Too much study,
thought and care cannot be taken in this
important part of the kennel" this mag
azlne declares, and continues:
THE Department of Agriculture at
Washington is heartily in support of any
move that makes for better stock of any
kind To that end the real dog fancier
should cooperate with other breeders of
animals and see that the dog fancier is not
behind in his efforts to have the best there
is in his breed.
"The fancier who is blind to the fact
that America will be the big market for
blooded stock of all kinds is not familiar
with the current news Of the day even. 1t
is we'll known and conceded by all dog
fanciers in both France and England that
their stock and the blood lines of the
best they have are so depleted that new
blood and new stock must be purchased
before they can again become countries of
animal export. 1t is the golden oppor-
tunity of the real breeder and the real

Turning Waste Straw Into

ular Mechanics" is a new Canadian in
vention, which, it is claimed
"offers practical means for utilizing the
vast quantities of straw that now go to
waste on the Western plains, and at the
same time may solve the fuel problem for
that region The new producer is not
large, being designed for individual farm
use. The gas is made in retort equipped
with three cylinders, each Of which holds
bale of straw, 7 feet long, feet wide and
6 inches thick.
"After filling and closing these chambers
q straw or gas fire is lighted under them
and allowed to burn 80 40 minutes.
One firing with wheat, oat, barley or flax
straw in this manner produces 1900 cubic
feet of gas having fuel value of 400 b. t. u.
enough gas for one winter days needs on
an average farm. After the gas has been
produced it passes through scrubber to
remove the tar and ammonia and thence
into a gasometer. About 1900 cubic feet
Of gas can usually be generated from one
ton of straw, and in addition six to eight
gallons of tar and GAO pounds Of carbon,
from which lampblack can be obtained. TO
provide all the heat, light and power that
an average farmer needs would require
thirty to forty tons Of straw, which amount
IL less than that produced many farms.
The cost of the plant is in the ncghborhood
OF 5000, and the byproducts derived from

the conclusions reached by the work of
the trench fever committee in France were
similar to those of the Hampstead Hos
pital, except that certain recent expert
ments appeared to show that infection
might be due to the louise bite in the alb
sence of its eXcreta Dried urinary deposit
from trench fever cases had also proved
nfective on scaritcation.
"The observations, as whole claim at
tention in view of the fact that numbers
of infected men must at present be mix
ing with the civil population, while more
will shortly be doing so. In the presence
of lice this interchange constitutes dan
ger which must not be overlooked

"The interesting fact emerged that the
louise was not nfectve mediately after
a meal on a trench fever patient but be-
came 80 only after the lapse of about seven
days. In no case was infection carried by
excreta passed within the first few days
after the lice had been fed The possibility
of life cycle Of the parasite completed
within the body of the louise thus suggests
itself, the curious point having further
been established that the louise does not
transmit the infection to it's own offspring.
with regard to the important subject
of prevention, it was found that infected
louise excreta remained virulent after a
lapse of sixteen days when dried at room
temperature, retaining its virulence af-
ter exposure to direct sunlight or to tenn
perature of Sc degrees Centigrade, sutti-
cient to kill the parasites and their eggs.
"The practical import of this observation
is evident in view of the current assump-
ton that dry heat at &c degrees Centigrade
sutices to prevent infection by lice. The
question of spontaneous infection was con-
sidered, but the crushed bodies of normal
lice, as well as their excreta, were in no
case found to be infective. In regard to
the clinical course of the attacks of trench
fever, some patients were afebrile through
out, although lice fed upon them repro
duced the disease in febrie form
THE percentage of individuals naturally
immune was found to be very small. Age
proved no bar to infection. Such immunity
as resulted from attack was of short
duration, while the difference in clinical
type appeared to depend rather upon the
individual attacked than upon the source
of infection. Sig WAliAm Leichman, who
