VICTIM OF BRAIN DISEASE
Addiction From Which Lord Byron Suf-
fered Has Been Diagnosed by
Modern Physicians

Lord Byron's lameness, which soured
his life and puzzled his biographers,
but did not prevent his swimming the
Hellespont, has been submitted to mod
ern diagnosis and found to be a brain
disease, according to the London Daily
Express.
DR.. II. G. Cameron, In a lecture to
the Royal Society Of Medicine, report
ed In the British Medical Journal"
suggested that Byron had 'Little's dis
case" In which a certain injury to the
brain at birth brings q stiffness and
awkwardness usually confined to the
legs.

Doctor Cameron, SIS stiff and awkward.

KEEPING OUT INSECT PESTS
United States inspectors Ever on the
Alert to Protect Interests OF
the AgricuIturists-

Inspectors of the federal horticul-
tural board Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture are continual
ly on the alert to prevent insect pests
from making their way into the United
States from foreign countries, often
locating them in new and unexpected
places, for their ways Of arrival are
numerous. Twice during the month Of
March one Inspector, in cooperation
with customs officials, intercepted liv-
ing larvae of the European corn borer
in stalks of brOOmcorn contained in
passengers baggage. One intercept
ton was made from the baggage OF
a third-class passenger arriving from
Italy, whose intention was to take the
infested material to Missouri. The
second discovery was made by the
same inspector when the same pest
was found in the baggage Of a pas
senger from Germany.
These fortunate interruptions empha-
size very forcibly the need and impor-
lance Of carefully examining, in CO.
operation with customs officials, pas
sengers' baggage arriving from vari-
Gus foreign countries. Work of this
kind Is now carried on by the fed
eral horticultural bohrd at a number OF
ports of entry, and as funds permit it
is purposed to enlarge this phase OF
the boards activities.

SEEK TREASURE FROM OCEAN
Engineers Confident That Through
New Device Much Wealth Can b
Recovered From the Sea.

Immense steel hands will reach
down through IS fathoms of water and
seek out the $5,OOO,OOO in gold which
sunk with the liner Egypt stx months
ago. A specially equipped submarine
Will be sent to the bottom when the
wreck has been definitely found. The
hulk will be explored from all sides
and accurate charts made. Targets will
then be selected in the Egypt's hull
and large holes made with torpedOes.
Exactly what will happen then is a
dark secret, except for the fact that
a monstrous engineering device, rival
ing the dreams even of Jules Verne,
Is In preparation for the work. All
that Is known Is that the human hand
Is the underlying motif Of the scheme.
The hands, attached to giant arms,
will reach into the ship and grasp the
chests Of gold. The steel fingers will
not relax, ven though the water at
that depth would crush a divers he'll
met. The treasure will be lifted at
the sea bottom and then brought to
the surface. Details Of this romantic
undertaking have been thrashed out
by hard-headed business men who are
behind 1t and work will begin next
month. 1t will last three summers.
II the project succeeds 1t will open
up the prospect of recovering untold
millions o at the bottom of the sea.
