"EATING" THE KINGDOM OF UGANDA
THE body of Mwanga, the late king of Uganda, who died in exile, having
been taken back to his native land and re-interred recently, his succes
sor, Daudi, was formally recognizod and there took place the strange
ceremonial of "eating the kingdom." In this Daudi beat the sacred drum
on which a python is carved and went through other rites. He was then
carried instate to his house on the shoulders of a chief according to cus
tom. Daudi was fourteen years old on August 15. King Daudi has lately
taken to golf, and the Europeeans at Kampola (Mengo) have entered him as
a member of their club. He shows promise of making a good player and
is keen on the game.

New Discovery of Medical Expert
Surprises World.
/
Vienna Physician After Years of La
bor and Study of Insidious Blood
Diseases Discovers Prepara
tion to Kill Germs.
Vienna. —For the past 25 years Dr.
Ehrlich of this capital has devoted
himself to the study of insidious blood
diseases that are transmitted from
father to son, and a year ago the
scientific world was surprised by the
announcement of the discovery of
"606." The announcement gave rise
to violent attacks on the doctor, and
many newspapers openly declared
that he was in all probability a char
latan. Today he is acclaimed by
scientists as one of the greatest meu
of our generation
Of late yeurs In his laboratory *t
Frankfort, Germany, Dr. Khrlich has
had the assistance of two eminent col
laborators. Dr. Aberthelm and Dr
Hata, a Japanese, and much of the
credit of the discovery Is due to their
unceasing work along the lines laid '
down by Dr. Khrlich.
The remedy ""06" Is an arsenical
preparation urseno-bensol. It gets Its
weird niifQe because 605 combinations
of arsenic were tried before the right
formula was obtained. Dr Khrlich
■ays thai "606" Introduced into the
systvm K<>es directly for the gerin of
disease and attacks It. In addition to
Its power to cure blood disorders
;reat r« ;ults have been obtained by
Its use In Infectious maladies, not
ably typhoid fever, malaria, intermit
lent l«\.r and paludism or sleeping
disease, while the latest announce
ment is by Or Audrusson of Ht. Pe
tersburg that he has used "6n6" on
two lepers who were In an advanced
maio of the dlsens*. and that not
only Is a decided Improvement shown
Hi their condition, but he Is certain I
of a complete recovery At the Pi»#

was fully explained and demonstrated
to the medical profession. The ca
pacity of the hall was exceeded, and
more than 500 scientists had to be
content to linger in the outside en
trance, pressing as near as possible
to the door in order to catch even
stray bits of the discourse.
Dr. Khrlich gives the warmest
praise to Dr. Hatta, who left for his
home In Japan and his chair as as
sistant to the celebrated Professor
Kitasato of the faculty of Toklo, three
years ago, and who for 18 months be
fore "606" was discovered, worked
with almost incredible energy and
perseverance. He was at the labora
tory from dawn until late at night.
So concentrated were the minds of
these two men on their search for the
combination of drugs that would de
stroy the germs without injurious ef
fects to the patient, that day after
day passed In which they only par
took of one meal in the 24 hours.

I.ornton The latest experiments in
applying the electric current to grow

I'rof J H. I'rlestley, of the botanical
laboratory at Bristol university, tend
to show that the currant not only ac

ways Improves their health, and
makes them stronger and better able
to resist disease.
The precise anion of the currant Is
not yet fully understood There Is a

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1910.
COLONY IS UTOPIAN
Farmers' Protective Association
Is Formed.
Community Open to Any White Man
Will Be Conducted on Business
like Basis, but With an
Ideal Theory.
Oakland. Cal.—Out of a desire on
the part of Charles Street, a wealthy
rancher, formerly of London, now re
siding on the Dingoe estate In Pied
mont, to benefit his fellow men, has
evolved the Farmers' Protective and
Benevolent association, to be incor
porated. The purposes of the cor
poration will be to conduct a co-opera
tive farm, primarily to raise poultry,
but also as a home site for share
holders, who will be recruited from
all walks of life.
The land chosen for the"model
town" is two miles east of Llvermore,
and there are 200 acres available.
Each person entering into the scheme
will be expected to purchase Ave
acres for his own use. The. organiza
tion will be conducted on the lines of
a town, with officers and public build
ings, Including an auditorium where
speakers will be Invited to lecture.
The electricity for the farm will be
manufactured on the premises.
There will be a music conservatory
established, weekly dances will be
held and playgrounds prepared for the
children. A moving-picture theater is
also contemplated.
Any white man may become affil
iated, and 12 prominent people of
Oakland vicinity are already interest
ed, including R. N. Scoville, son of
the president of the Scoville Iron
Works. A well-known Piedmont school
teacher, Miss Scheere, is another who
is active in the enterprise.
All the supplies of the community
will be raised on the ground, Irre
spective of what Is intended for gen
eral sale, and it is the purpose to pro
vide every Inducement for those who
share in the proposition to make their
home within the confines of the farm.
An enthusiastic advocate of the en
terprise cites the present high cost
of living as a sufficient reason for any
man in moderate circumstances, par
ticularly those who work for their
daily bread, adopting this method ot
providing a home for himself and fam
ily In old age.
For, as he remarks, the Farmers'
Protective association Is essentially a
poor man's club, with the main objeel
of securing the advantages of the
wealthy class by giving those who ar«
interested in the scheme the opportu
nities through co-operation of devel
oping in their children any latent tal
ents, enabling them to do things that
they would otherwise be unable tc
do.
The initiative, referendum and re
call with women's suffrage, will apply
In Its entirely.
In the membership of the atisocla.
tlon there are already a violinist, lln
gulst, electrician, school teacher,
printer, machinist, carpenter, genera!
contractor, stenographer and an edl
tor. American citizens are, of course,
preferred, but all whites are eligible
Every one will be given full market
value for their products, and all will
be expected to contribute to the en
tertalnment and social amusement ol
the community. It Is, in short, a
Utopian scheme with a businesslike
foundation, something that many sim
ilar propositions have not had. to
which may be attributed their failure
distribution over the field on wires
attached to poles 10 feet high. Kscap
ing from the wire to the ground, the
current passes through the plants und
so completes the circuit. In cloudy or
foggy weather there is a greater cur
rent escaping from the wires. The
coat of the electrical stimulation Is
not as great as that of stimulation
supplied by the use of phosphate or
other enrlchers.
It has been found that the current
somewhat modifies the colors of flow
ers. and this fact is being taken ad
vantage of by greenhouse cultivators
who have beguu to use the electric
current quite extensively
The current has been applied to a
private flsh pond In Sussex, with re
ported quickening results on the
growth of the finny residents, but
these experiments have not progress
ed far enough for definite scientific
results to be aunouiued.

ROB LAKE OF FISH
Largest of Inland Seas Fast Los
ing Its Supply.
What Has Become of Trout and White
fish in Lake Superior Is Question
That Has Been Agitating
Many Fishermen.
Marquette, Mich.—What has become
of the trout and whiteflsh In Lake Su
perior?
This Is a question that Marquette
fishermen, in common with others on
the south shore of the lake, are ask
ing. Catches have never been so light.
The result of an all-day trip with one
of the fish tugs Is often not more than
300 pounds of fish, which is not enough
to pay the operating expenses. A half
ton is considered an average catch on
a single day.
That Lake Superior, known as the
abode of the finest whiteflsh In the
world. Is fast becoming a Ashless sea.
Is a startling statement, but that la
what the fishermen assert. The fish
ermen have been doing less and less
business each year for some time.
The tugs have been going farther and
farther out each succeeding season,
and now the nets are set as much as
five hours' run out of Marquette, and
even In those unfrequented waters
there are very few fish.
The scarcity of fish In Lake Supe
rior is even more remarkable when it
is considered that there are not more
thiui half a dozen fish tugs on the
south shore, while no fewer thnn 12C
tugs started out to fish on the south
shore of Lake Erie this season. Of
course there are many gasoline fishing
boats In addition to these, but their
numerical proportion on the two lakes
hi probably about the same as In the
case of the steam tugs. There are
fewer steam tugs on I*ake Superior
now than in the past. No tugs are,
now operated out of Ontonagon, while
last year there were two.
In commenting on this condition of
affairs, August Anderson, operator of
the tug Columbia, stated that, the rea
son fishing was so much poorer In
I.ake Superior than In the other great
lakes was that the government was
not replanting fast enough to take
the place of those fished out each
year. Lake Superior Is uow declared
to be the poorest of (he (ireat Ijikes.
as far as fishing is concerned, and
this In the face of the fact that It Is

fished the least. Until the states and
the federal government began planting
by the millions and billions, however,
there was the same scarcity of fish
in the lower lakes. By liberal propa
gation Lake Erie and Lake Ontario
have become restocked until the fish
ing interests there report that this has
been a very good season.
This year the government has plant
ed In the vicinity of Marquette about
seven million fish, which is a some
what larger number than has been
planted in past years. The total
number of fry planted this year on
the south shore of Lake Superior Is
probably not far from 25,000,000. At
first thought It would seem that this
was a pretty liberal allowance, but as
a matter of fact It Is only a drop In
the bucket. In comparison, the fish
hatchery of the state of Pennsylvania
produces an annual output of over one
billion, a large proportion of which
are planted In Lake Erie In the vicin
ity of the city of Erie, while the gov
ernment hatcheries add considerably
to this quota. When It is considered
that Pennsylvania Is not a fishing
state, these figures are quite remark
able and goto show that the mar
quette fishermen are not far from
right when they say that Lake Supe
rior has been fished out.
RATS AND GUINEA
Girls Employed In New Jersey Capitol
Object to Health Board's Exhibit
on Roof.
Trenton, N. J. —Within a few days
the New Jersey capltol will house a
dozen guinea pigs, 25 rabbits and a
number of rats, cats, dogs and other
animals that the state board of health
may find necessary to carry out Its
new program of vivisection. In spite
of the dissatisfaction manifested by
some of the pretty stenographers at
the state house the capitol commission
granted permission to the health board
to build a home on the roof of the
building to shelter animals to be used
for scientific purposes.
The board has been lighting for this
privilege for a long time, It being un
derstood that such quarters were to be
arranged when the new wing was
started three years ago. The capltol
commission did not like the idea of
having animals In the building, real ,
islng that If any of theui, particularly
the rats, escaped, havoc would follow.
The state health board has insisted
that sheltering of animals about the
dome of the capltol. where they could
g«'t plenty of fresh air, was absolutely
necessary, and the capltol commission,
with many misgivings, Instructed State
Architect (Jeorge K. Poole, to prepare
plans for a pig peu" within Ave feet
of tile gilded dome.
The newa relating to the concession
spread rapidly about the statehouao
and there was much excitement among
the employes. "Will you have rats
In the animal house?" This i|uestlou

her heart's dearest wish, a real pond
In her own yard, a Massachusetts mil
lionaire. former Representative Harry
L. I'ierce, has Just started on his vast
estate here what promises to be the
largest artificial lake In Massachu

This toy lake when finished will be
large enouKh to float a large section
of the I'nited States navy. Added to
the incentive jf his small daughter'*
love of skating, the millionaire's de

The lake is to be built by damming
a brook. It is to cost $30,000 and
will involve the labor of a large body
of workmen It will easily outrival
anything of its kind in Massachusetts.
