"Silver Nights"

NCILVER nights" or unusually
~ bright twilight from sunset TO
sunrise. were forecast for Sweden dur
ing the Summer by astronomical ex-
perts.
Formerly such phenomena caused
widespread CONSERVATION. as the light
was bright enough to read by in Stock
hold at midnight. Many people
thought it foreshadowed the day OF
last judgment. Now scientists have
discovered that 1t Is due to volcanic
ash spreading through the upper lay
ers of atmosphere and rejecting tho
suns rays back 10 the earth. The re-
cent eruptions Of a volcano on the
Kamchatka Peninsula. of another in
Japan and also that OF Mauna Loa in
the Pacific were said to foreshadow a
recurrence of the extra brilliant twi-
light. The Swedish landscape Is ordi.
narily remarkable during the long sun
lit Summer nights. but the silver light
gives it a weird beauty.

MALARIA HAS VALUE AS A CURE.

conditions that were not clearly un'
derstood before. Lieut.. Col. p. James
of the ministry of health states that,
surprisingly enough. 1t Is difficult to
adjust conditions so that the patients
will infect the mosquitoes and the
mosquitoes, in turn, inject the pa
tients.
Contrary to the belief that malaria
turks in every stagnant pool. he thinks
that in nature the only mosquitoes that
become transmitters Of the disease are
those that live under sheltered and
peculiar conditions. THE human
dwelling" he says, seemed to be the
laboratory where malaria Infection
had its origin and was cultivated.
and the life habits OF mosquitoes that
live under such conditions should be
carefully studied.
Since the blood of different patients
varies widely in degree OF the hospi-
tality which It affords to the malarial
parasites after they have been bitten
by an infected mosquito, he suggests
that future biochemical research may
show q chemical difference in the
blood Of patients Of the types that re-
act so differently. He suggests the
possibility of a blood test that would
enable physicians to classify patients
in this respect.
In the course of observing malarial
treatment Of general paralytics in five
British mental hospitals. DR.. Warning
ton Yorke. professor Of parasitology
of the University Of Liverpool. found
the cases Of induced malaria were very
easily cured with moderate quantities
Of quinine. Doses Of quinine previous
to infection will not prevent a patient
from contracting malaria, but small
amounts of the drug are more eff1ca.
cious in killing off the parasites in the
blood stream than large doses. DR..
Yorke advances the hypothesis that
when quinine Is introduced into the
body II Is aided and abetted in killing
off the malarial parasites in the blood
by certain body cells.
Too much quinine in a single dose,
he maintains, brings about an exhaus-
ton of those cells so that the malarial
organism gets the jump on the para
sitic-killing combination and the re-
suit IS called a relapse. This would
explain. he says. the severe relapses
suffered by war cases even during the
administration of large quantities Of
Quinine. He suggests that overdosing
with quinine is very possible reason
why these war cases and the majority
Of those met with in private practice
are 20 difficult to cure.

BY STEPHEN LEACOCK.

Ut has always seemed to me that
the Stock Exchange page OF the
daily paper possesses Il peculiar
i romantic charm for anybody SUM-
ciently ignorant and sufficiently
imaginative to enjoy 1t. The expert.
OF course. knows exactly what a
cumulative preferred share is. and
what is a Brazilian four. and what
the letters l. L. Il. T. G. stand for.
To him the whole page is merely a
common sense record of facts.
To me. admit. it is different when
I read, for instance. as ] did today.
that the Spanish Paseta had been
restless all day. but quieter towards
evening. ] at once picture to myself
a beautiful Spanish Paseta lying in Il
hammock with an enhancing black
Manila draped about her head. The
vision Is, II anything. heightened by
the information on the same page
that Manila was off two points and
stood at q new low.
Let Il sink even further. And
meantime l cannot but feel as If
should like to try to do something to
comfort the Spanish Paseta. 1t ap-
pears from the same page that II she
gets weaker she may collapse; IN
fact, the paper says that she has been
dangerously inflated.
After I have got sufficiently con.
fused with the monetary items. l like
70 turn to the Stock and Produce Ex-
change notes. Here l feel on rather
firmer ground. Having been brought
up on a farm and having graduated
from a four-ffty a week boarding
house, I can still catch the general
drift of an agriculture or food state
ment.
When the paper says that eggs
were active. developing considera BILE
strength after the opening" am car
ried back 50 years to the recollection
OF some OF the good old active eggs
that l remember. It says. too. that
butter showed an undercurrent OF
weakness" So 1t used to; I remem.
ber It..
Also there was very little demand
for old salt pork" No. certainly not;
not by me. anyway. On the other
hand, cattle on the hoof showed
great liveliness all day" That's ex-
cellent; there's a certain briskness
about that that ! appreciate.
But IL all this stuff about eggs and
cows and pork seems a little too
familiar, one turns with pleasure to
the romantic and exotic charm OF the
foreign and tropical produce. Thus
Singapore rubber was of half a
cent. and "Pamotu Island Copra" was
listed at cents. with no buyers.
only wish I'd been round and had
cents right with me. I'd have
bought-just to have a look at 1t.
II is strange how the brokers neg.
Iect the queer and wonderful products
Of the far-on places OF the world. All
Yesterday. for example, Tunisian
Dates" were offered in crates. with no
takers; Bahama Sponges" found no
market at all: and the best Peruvian
Guiana" was unstable. Think OF II.
But the queerest things Of all about
the Stock and Produce Exchanges Is
the peculiar state of excitement. some
thing IKE hysteria. in which they seem
to exist. The exchange Is said to open
