One death from tuberculosis in Wis
consin every five hours! That's what
official statistics, compiled by the
State Board of Health, show-the
story of tragedy that is all the more
pitiful because it is preventable. Six
teen years ago when the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis Association and the
penny Christmas seal, which finances
It, began the organized battle against
the great White Plague there were
1917 deaths each yea from tubercu-
losis for every 100000 people. In 1923
the rate had been reduced to 667, with
a total of 1919 deaths from this dis
ease. Yet every five hours there is
one death from tuberculosis In this
state AID for every death there ere at
least nine living cases.
The purpose Of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association is to fight
tuberculosis by teaching people how
to prevent it by sp, eading Tito every
nook and corner Of Wisconsin the
knowledge that tuberculosis Is a pre-
ventable and durable disease

Furious Cloudbursts
Flood Death Valley

Although little rain falls in Death
valley, so named from the terrible loss
of life from heat which occurred there
in 1853. clOudbursts Of the utmost fury
are often experienced. The cloud Is
always formed above the mountains,
and after q time its dubious body
strikes peak. Floods of waters are
released on the instant, and in waves
Of incredible size they roll down the
cliffs and canyons.
In an hour the face of mountain
may be so changed as to be scarcely
recognizable. Even the lighter storms
sometimes rip the heart out Of can
yOn SO that only gulches and heaps of
broken rock are found where once,
perhaps, good trail existed.
One night man named Carter slept
In camp near the mouth of Furnace
Greek canyon with bug hunter" as
the desert tramping scientists are
called out there. II was so hot that
the naturalist could not sleep.
About midnight he heard a roaring
noise up the canyon, which, as It kept
increasing In volume, caused him to
look that way. To his surprise he
saw, as he supposed, the sky between
the canyon walls grow suddenly white.
At that moment Carter rolled over,
and the bug hunter" asked him what
allied the sky. Carter gave one glance
and shouted:
"Cloudburstl Climb"
They scrambled up the steep wall
as best they could, just in time to
save their lives. Carter thinks the
foaming wall of water that whitened
the sky and swept everything before
1t was not less than 100 feet high.

To Find Oil.

TT appears that petroleum can now
be found by means of an electrical
contrivance, no matter how far be-
meath the surface OF the earth the
oil may be. The principle upon which
1t works is something as follows:
The system consists of forming an
by dropping an insulated wire to the
bottom OF a dry water hole, valley
or indentation and placing a series
Of batteries on top Of the earth, TO
the. positive pole Of which is at
tached land wire. This wire is
then taken out over the feid in any
direction and'rfor any distance, and
all OF the intermediate territory ~
combed thoroughly, with electric cur
rents flowing from the positive pole
to the negative pole. Tho earth be-
ing simply a huge inverted magnet.
the electric currents travel from one
to the other OF the charged poles By
the path OF least resistance.
Oil and its constituent compounds
are the only minerals In the earth
through which electricity cannot pass;
therefore. 1t follows that an oil pool
in the path of; the electric currents
will offer great resistance to them;
1t will force them to GO. round the
pool, and also result. in an apprecia-
bic loss Of current through eiectroly-
sis. Both of these factors are regis
tered on an extremely delicate meter

From the West Indies.

TT appears that all the genuine bay
rum comes from West Indies.
The source Of the perfume (myrica
acris) is one of a large family Of
shrubs and a distant relative of the
American bayberry plant, from which
the early settlers procured leaves
from three to FIVE inches long and
round berries about the size Of a
pea, which contain from seven to
eight seeds.
The bay rum made from q combina-
tion of the green leaves and the ber-
ries is OF better quality than that
distilled from dry leaves or from the
leaves without the berries, but
gathering the berries is a task SO
tedious that 1t makes them cost from
fifteen to twenty times as much as
the leaves. The basis of bay rum is
Jamaica or St Crois rum, made from
the skimmings OF the sugar boilers,
the scrapings OF sugar barrels and
the washings from sugar pots. For
the best grade OF bay rum, the rum
must be free from foreign odors and
almost coiorless. For a number of
.yaa<a much Of the bay rum sold in
this country has been made here; the
ingredients are usually about one
half alcohol. one-sixteenth Jamaica.
