asite. This dye was named "trypan red"
Two years later Mesnil and Nicolle, of the
Pasteur Institute of Paris, found that sew
eral similar dyes made by the Bayer Dye
Works were also serviceable. These dye
drugs were all derivatives of naphthalene,
familiar to us all since little white balls of
it drop from our clothes when we shake
them out in the fall.
But none of the known dyes were suf-
ficently active so that they were certain to
clean out the pests from the body of the
patient. The Bayer company has quietly
continued its search for something more
powerful and equally innocuous and has at
last, after 204 compounds had been made
and found unsatisfactory, got one that
cures. 1t is not dye but a white powder
soluble in water. 1t was tried successfully
on mice, rats, gunea-pigs, rabbits, dogs and
horses and finally upon man. An English
patient who had suffered from sleeping sick
ness for year and on whom all the customary
remedies had been tried in vain, was cured
by four doses amounting altogether to an
eighth of an ounce Better still it is found
that single dose will make person i'm
mune to the disease for a long period even
if infected by the fly. 1t is also said
that the new medicine or some of it's reha-
tives will cure malaria and other tropical
fevers
Whether Bayer 205 is plain naphthalene
der1yative like the earlier efforts of the firm
or whether it contains arsenic like "606,"
which is used to destroy similar blood
parasite, is not known to the outside world,
for the composition is kept secret Small
samples of the drug have been furnished for
experimentation to Belgian, British and
American physicians but under pledge of
professional secrecy. At a recent meeting
in Hamburg of the German Association of
Tropical Medicine one of the speakers said:
"Bayer 205 is the key to tropical Africa,
and consequently the key to all the colonies
The German government must, therefore, be
required to safeguard this discovery for
Germany It's value is such that any priv
ilege of share in it granted to other
nations must be made conditional upon
the restoration to Germany of her colonial
empire

A Rival of Cotton

~OTTON Is King we of the South are
accustomed to belize. and cotton
has merited the royal title, and
NAV ever dominate the commerce OF the
world: but interesting possibilities are sug-
yested nv the advent Of new fiber discov-
cred in South Amsrica and developed on
large scale in the Malay Islands, Ceylon and
India under auspices of the British govern
ment
"Arghan" is the name Of this new fiber
a name given it by the Indians of South
America who discovered its possibilities ana
crudely utilized them in the manufacture Of
An eminent English authority on textiles
has written an interesting description OF the
DEVELOPMENT of the fiber, both as to produc-
ton of the raw material and it's use in the
manufacture of rope, nets and cloth.
An Englishman Who pioneered the plata
ton rubber industry in South America acct
dentalIv ran across afghan in his explorations
In that country. He was surprised by the ex-
cellent quality Of the articles made from 1t
by the Indians. Some years later he was ac-
companied to South America by the managing
director Of the worlds largest rope and
Irvine mandatory, who happened to be seek
ing a substitute for hemp. The rubber king
supplied him with samples or afghan, and
the more he experimental with the new fiber
the more he appreciated its remarkable
qualities.
Tests proved that afghan was stronger by
fifty per cent than the best hemp or the best
flax 1t resisted the ravages of sea water
which made it ideal for the manufacture OF
fishing nets, marine cordage, and sail cloth
When "put to the spinning frame its yarns
were excellent, so much so that they could be
woven into firm cloth that bleached mag
nificently and took and retained all dies
while its wearing qualities were unsur
passed
These experiments, it appears, took place

American Export Gains

-HE big gains in the exports OF the
United States are extremely interest
l. ing in their suggestions as to the tu-
ture of our export trade, and its present rela-
+;o,s ~ that of other great exporting coun-
tries.
The fact is that gains in American eA-
norris in recent 1nonths( place the United
states clearly at the head of the worlds list
of exporters of domestic products
Tho increases are especially interesting in
that most of them have occurred in those
nroducts where our manufacturers ana eA-
norters are fighting to retain the share which
.,o,- obtained in world markets during the
war The announcement, therefore, that ng-
uras for October show an increase OF more
than s29.O0O,O00 over the same month OF
last wear, is cause for more than ordinary
qualification.
Still another evidence Of the advances
which We are making in export trade Is
.o,d :, q compcrison of our October ex-
norts with those Of other countries. Gfeat
Britain which is our chief rival in world
markets, shows an actual decline OF $1o'-
600 900 i'll her October exports OF domestic
nroduets when compared with the 1mme'
diate1y preceding month, whereas our OWL
fignres show the tremendous gain of $50,
600 900.
Before the war America held always the
position OF second rank as an exporting ma
ton. and. during the period Immediately FOL
lowing the armistice it was general ano
pessimistic forecast that the United states
would do well to retain even this second
position.
So stands the record now; but what Will
It he when the Fordney-McCumber tar1H mas
had fair chance to exert its depressing IN
fluence?

Making An Art of Liv

Three women were discussing fourth
woman who had just left them.
''What shame that Marie wastes her tai
ents as she does,'' exclaimed one of the WON
en-. 1.-The gods gave her everything-beau-
ty and brilliance, and an almost mesmeric
charm. She might have been famous i'll half
a dozen directions, and yet she is just con-
tent to play around and make nothing OF
her genius"
She would have been the greatest come
dienne of our day if she had gone on the
STAGE" said the second woman, cor she
could have made a great success as writer,
or as a musician :: she had gone in seriously
for either one. 1 call it wicked throwing
away of talents.
Wrong You are quite wrong" said the
old woman of the party. Marie doesn't
waste her talents because she doesn't COM
mercialize them. She does something inf
nitely finer, and more beautiful, with them
She gives them to us all. She showers them
like the blessed sunshine on e~ery human
being with whom she comes in contact She
makes the world better place to live IN
Just because she is in it.
"She makes of life fine art. She brings
all of her gifts to transmitting the dull
heavy, soddenness of every day existence into
something that is shot with gold, and thrilled
with the palpitating Joy of fresh lnsp1ra-
ton and new hope.
"For her just to enter a room is as if a
south wind blew through an open window
Heavy eyes brighten. Sad mouths smile
People cease to yawn in each others faces
The pessimistic cheer up, and curious sub
tie elixir of vitality runs through every vein
as it, somehow, she had impaired her own
MAGNIFICENT health and strength to all about
her.
She gives her talents to the world, in
stead of selling them in the market place, and
because she does this, and is not driven by a
task master, she has time to make OF lie a
thing of beauty and finish. She has leisure
for the little courtesies, time to remember the
little tastes and peculiarities OF others, time
to practice the little amenities that give
grade and charm human intercourse.
perhaps 1 am old-fashioned, but thlnk
that Marie is an example to her sex, and that
il is a pity that more women who are really
gifted cannot see that just living can be MADE
as much of fine art as writing, or music
or dancing, or acting, and that its benefits TO
the world are lust as great.

TRY THINKING HARDER
By H. Addington Bruce

You tell me you wish you could get on In
have been doing. You lament that the high
hopes and bright dreams with which you be-
gan business life seem as far from realiza-
ton as ever.
Perhaps you are overimpatient. good
many young people in business are. More
| likely though, the trouble is that you are
not taking your work seriously enough, are
not devoting to it anything like the thought
you ought to give it.
Certainly 1 should suspect this, in view of
your further statement that other men who
started in the same line of business about
the time you did have made more Roadway.
This of itself would suggest that they have
done harder thinking than you.
When at work, do you really concentrate
on your work? Do you ever think about it
really think about it--when away from it?
Your response that you have always under
stood that one should relax and completely
forget ones work in hours of leisure is
scarcely satisfactory. A certain amount OF
Relation is necessary, that is true But the
really ambitious, the sincerely DESTROYS of
progressing, by no means regard leisure as
wholly a time for relaxing and work-forget-
ting
Nor do they find that to spend some Of
their leisure in thinking hard about their
work is hurtful to them. Their experience,
on the contrary goes to show that, provided
one does not wholly deny ones self recrea-
ton, the use of leisure as thinking period
is helpful in every way.
Recall. if you please, that sage observa-
ton uttered long ago by the greatest of
American psychologists, William James:
"Our organism has stored-up reserves Of
energy that are ordinarily not called upon,
but that may be called upon; deeper and
deeper strata of combustible material ready
for us by any one who probes SO deep.
Most of us continue living unnecessarily
near the surface"
And apply for yourself the advice offered
by another psychologist:
Determine accurately by experiment the
proper relation between periods of work and
periods of rest in your own case, then in
crease your efficie -cy by maintaining this re-
lation.''
That is to say, besides making it point
to concentrate your work during your
working day, form the habit of thinking on
business problems during part of your leis-
ure. Gradually increase this leisure-think-
ing until you know that you are OVERRIDING it..
Then let down bit in order to determine
your thinking-relaxing norm. When you
have determined this, maintain it. Before
long, I warrant, you will find that you are
working to better purpose and with more sat
isfactory results than ever before.
More than this, it is quite possible that, as
things now stand with you your devotion to
the principle Of completely relaxing when
free from work may in some degree have I'M
fitted you for concentration on your work
while engaged in it. At all events that is
what happens to a good many workers, and
perhaps it has happened to you.
So try the plan suggested. 1t may be the
one thing necessary to shift you from the
ranks "of imminent failure to the choice COM
pany of eminent winners of success.

A Chemical for a Colony
~HE German chemists are trying to win

~HE German chemists are trying to win
back the colonies that the German
n Kaiser lost. They are offering TO
trade a new coal-tar drug for the African
territory which Germany held before l9l4,
but which fell to the v1ctors of the Great
war This territory amounts TO a million
square miles, or one-tnird the area or the
United States, and has been up by mutual
agreement between Great Britain, france,
Belgium and Portugal. 1t comprises some
of the richest and most fertile land on the
globe but it rests under curse, the sleep
ing sickness.
This mysterious malay that has laid
waste large part of the Dark Continent,
is now known to be due to minute parasite
that lives in the blood Of man and beast
and is called trypanosome. When you
look at one through microscope you
would not think that so little a creature
could have so long a name or do so much
harm. He looks like smashed mosquito
wigg1er or stickless kite. 1t propels
itself along by sculling with its whip-like
tail. The tsetse fly gets it's living by suck
ing the blood of wild animals, cattle and
human beings, and in so doing peddles
about the microbe from sick to well. There
are various sorts of trypanosomes and
blood-sucking flies each having it's own
habits and routes, but anyhow the infected
individual suffers at first from fever and
gradually sinks into an insensibility, from
which the sleeper rarely wakes This sort
of sleeping sickness is peculiar to Africa
and has nothing in common with the dis
ease that has rec ,ntly appeared in America
except the name and somnolent symptom.
In the latter part or the last century
when Europeans invaded the interior of
Africa they found this micro-organism the
most dangerous of the wild animals to be
combated. Lions and elephants could be
killed but the tsetse fly was too small to
be shot and the trypanosome was too small
to be seen. How to destroy the parasite
without harming the host was the question.
The first sign of a solution of the prob
lem came in 1904 when the German physi-
clan, Enrich, and his japanese assistant
Shiga, discovered an anilne dye which in
jected into the blood of a person seized
with sleeping sickness would kill the par

that of Babylonia; but while Babylonia lay
open on every side to invasion, Egypt was
protected by desert to the west and by desert

had only negro peoples. Consequently her
