NO TYPHOID SAYS DR. ELLIS

Last Saturday Dr. Anna Brown Kearsley reported a case of typhoid fever to the Wrangell Board of Health, the patient being James Nolan.
 The general impression prevailing in Wrangell last week was that Hon. W. D. Grant, Mrs. Stephen D. Grant, and James Nolan were all suffering from the same malady, as they had all attended the late c. E. Weber during his fatal illness. Therefore Dr. Kearsley's diagnosis of the case of Mir Nolan naturally carried sig nificance that extended beyond the individual case reported.
 The two other patients are rela- tives by marriage of pr. S. c. Shu- rick, and since the beginning of their illness have been under his profes- sional care. Dr. Shurick has report ed no cases of typhoid to the Board of Health.
 Under these circumstances, to- gether with the high mortality Of typhoid, the Board of Health deemed il advisable to send for an outside diagnostician. The Board prepared a cablegram which was signed by Mayor Grant and sent to Mayor Tor rey of Ketchikan. Later in the day Mayor Grant received cablegram from Mayor Torrey stating that Dr. R. V. Ellis had been selected to make the voyage to Wrangell and would arrive here Sunday morning.
 Following his arrival on Sunday morning, Dr. Ellis first examined the case of Hon. w. D. Grant, and next that of Mrs. Stephen D. Grant.
 Owing to the fact that there have been cases of typhoid in Ketchikan recently Dr. Ellis had with him fresh supply of typhoid bacillus sus- pension which had just been received from the States. He took blood from both of the patients and submitted it to the Vidal test with the result that there was no reaction. This, ac- cording to the report of Dr. Ellis to the Board of Health, showed conclu- sively that neither W. D. Grant nor Mrs. Stephen D. Grant have typhoid.
 The Board of Health then decided that it would not be amiss to have Dr. Ellis apply the Vidal test to James Nolan. Accordingly two mem bers of the Board called on Dr kearsley at noon Sunday and respect fully requested that she consent to having MT. Nolan visited by Dr. Ellis. She consented, and Sunday afternoon she and Dr. Ellis visited the patient together Dr. Ellis took blood from MT. Nolan also, and upon submitting it to the Vidal test found no re- action. Therefore, this is another case where two doctors have dis agreed in their diagnosis. The Board of Health, however, are using every means possible to protect the public against the possibility of typhoid Samples of the blood from all three patients have been sent to the States to be submitted to a test This will serve as a check on the diagnosis made by Dr. Ellis who, in his report to the Wrangell Board of Health pronounced all three cases to be in testinal influenza, and not typhoid.

Grim Relics Of Fight
of Long Centuries Ago

Many indeed have been the revela-
lions of archaeology concerning "Un-
happy. far-on things and battles
long ago." But British explorations
at Jerablus-the Carchemish of Jere-
miah's prophecy-told a tragic tale
with unusual clearness. Some fine
limestone blocks projecting from a
cutting of the Bagdad railway first
aroused scientific curiosity, and exca-
walton quickly showed that they
formed the rear wall Of fine, spa
cious villa.
At no great depth under the sur
face the men encountered thick
stratum Of burned ashes. There was
no trace Of later construction, and
the site, which was the most COM
manding In the outer town, would
hardly have been left unoccupied
while Carchemish was city; 10 the
excavators assumed that the FIRE that
destroyed the house was that which
swept the whole place about 600 B.
G. Very soon the assumption re-
ceived startling confirmation, says the
Youths Companion.
Outside the walls they found few
bronze arrow heads; on the porch
there were number of them, and ON
the floor of the rooms under the ashes
arrow heads Of bronze and iron turned
up In hundreds, and with them lance
points and broken sword blades and
mems bones and all the signs of
fierce struggle. Always the weapons
lay thickest In front Of room doors,
and there the arrow heads were often
bent or broken, as If from striking
against the bronze casing Of the door
timbers. 1t needed but little imagi-
nation to follow the fight as the de-
tenders were driven back from room
to room until they were overwhelmed
at the last.
Near by was found a beautiful
Greek shield bearing Medusa's head
of the finest workmanship. How
came such an object among the ruins
of Carehemish, which was destroyed
in the same campaign in which GAIA
fell? Wise scholars remembered that
Herodotus mentions spells from GAIA.
dedicated by Pharaoh Necho at the
Temple Of Apollo at Branchidae In
honor Of the Ionian mercenaries who
served in his ranks. The excava-
lions at Jerablus have led perhaps to
more important results. but to none
more dramatic than this which brings
together in one burnt and ruined
house at Carchemish two writer's so
far removed from each other as He
rodotus and Jeremiah-the Greek
Father of History" and the Jewish
prophet.

Ancient and Modern Culture

To compare ancient Egypt, or the
Valley of the Kings, and all they have
bequeathed to us, brought to light
from time to time by excavation,
with material discovery, such as
steam. electricity and the like, through
other scientific channels would be
ridiculous. But archaeological dis
powers to our uses are the only real
advantage other than the science Of
medicine, that modern civilization may
claim over that Of the ancients.
Again, though we cannot become inti-
mate with those ancient people in the
living, BY archaeological research work
we can become intimate with their
dead and the material they have be-
Queathsd US. AS a result of such
research, we find that culture in the
way of intellectual development and
the arts In general were ia those most
ancient times In many ways higher
than they are today. In fact. mod
ern progress In the mechanical
sciences and industrialism generally
are largely responsible for the COM
plete eclipse Of spontaneous and I'M
conscious artistic production. If there
by we get such ultimate results as
cubism and futurism, then srcheolog-
ical research will show that the arts
are best without our mechanical and
industrial progress.-Howard Carter
in Current History Magazine.
