LITERARY NOTES
New Light ON Walt Whitman.


Anne Gilchrist. an English literary
woman of the Rosettt set. fell in love
with Whitman's poems and through
the poems she came to love the man.
AS a gifted and brilliant literary wo-
man she expressed her love in letters
of great beauty both of thought ana
expression. These letters, together
with some OF Whitman's replies, have
been edited by Thomas 3. Harmed,
one of the Whitman literary execu-
tors, and are announced for publica-
ton by Doubleday, Page & Co. under
the title. Letters Of Anne Gilchrist

TO PREVENT WORMS IN PIGS
Especially important to Protect Newly
Farrowed Animals From Intestinal

Recent investigations have shown
the Importance OF taking special pre-
cautions with newly narrowed pigs to
prevent their becoming infested with
intestinal worms, Intestinal worms are
very common parasites among pigs,
and cause great deal of damage to
the young animals. 1t appears that as
they become older pigs become less
susceptible to Infection. Accordingly,
If pigs can be protected from infection
during the first few weeks of life they
are1ess likely afterwards to be serious

common variety.
The worms are spread by means Of
eggs of microscopic size which are de-
posted by the adult worms in the in
testines Of infested pigs, and which
pass out of the body in the feces. After

vent of. Disease as Something Of
Which to Make Jest.

Have you had the measles yeti
matter of time.
A physician was asked how he ac-
counted for the great number of cases
Of measles this year, and he smiled
and said that the old germs were all
frozen during the very cold weather
and that they were trying out the new
supply. Professional men have such
charming manners, which invariably
accompany those evasive answers.
One never knows whether they are
afraid OF disclosing state secrets or
whether the sweet smile and graceful
bow are serving in an armorial ca
pacity.
So, If you awaken some morning and
your forehead is mass of little
patches Of carmine and your throat
feels dry and your head feels hot, don't
be alarmed. 1t simply means that
you have been chosen to become a
member Of the Ancient Accepted Or
der Of Measleites, and that the initia-
zion has begun. A five days vacation
is about to be thrust on you, which
you will enjoy, more or less, probably
less, particularly If you have the
"Hun" variety, which Is as treacher-
Gus as the name implies.
OF course, If you are pressed for
time, there is a 24-hour kind which is
very good. 1t has all the appearances
of the genuine article without any Of
the disagreeable features. The doc
tors call It Dukes disease" but It be-
longs to the measle family. and you

PROOF THAT WORLD MOVES
Simple Little Experiment VIII Con-
vince the Skeptlcal of Fact Pretty
Generally Conceded.

Take a good-sized bowl, fill it nearly
full of water and place it upon the
floor Of a room which is not exposed to
shaking or Earring from the street.
Sprinkle over the surface of the water.
a coating of lycopodium powder. Then
upon the surface of this coating of
powder make, with powdered charcoal,
a straight black line, say. an inch or
two in length.
Having made this little mark with
the charcoal powder on the surface
Of the contents of the bowl, lay upon
the floor close to the bow a stick or
some other straight object, so that It
will be exactly parallel with the mark.
If the line happens to be parallel with
q crack in the floor or with any sta
tionary object in the room, this will
serve as well.
Leave the bowl undisturbed for a
few hours and then observe the po-
sition of the black mark with reference
TO the object with which 1t was
parallel. 1t will be found to have moved
In the direction opposite to the move
ment Of the earth on its axis. The
earth in simply revolving has carried
the water and everything else In the
bowl around with II, but the powder
on the surface has been left behind a
little.
The line will always be found to
have moved from east to west, which
Is perfectly good proof that everything
else has moved the other way.
