REPORTS FINDING
A GANGER SERUM
Boston Physician May
Discovered Cure.
Have
WILL TREAT HUMANS SOON.
Experiments on Rabbits Indicate That
the Poison of Malignant Tumors Can
Be Destroyed( Discovoror Cays Posi
tive Cure Not Yet Promised, How
ever Methods Explained.
The discover' of u scrum which kills
cancer poison nnd which, physicians
believe, may prove to be a cure for
cancer has been announced by Dr.
'Howard W. Newell, Instructor of pa
thology at the Iloston university Bchool
of medicine.
At the seventy-third annual meeting
of the Massachusetts Homeopathic
Medical society, which took place re
cently, Dr. Newell announced his dis
covery. The announcement followed
three years of research work, he said.
What he has found, ho explained, Is
a chemical process for the extraction
of poison from a malignant tumor In
man and with this poison obtaining
from rabbits a serum which when mix
ed with the orlglual serum in the prop
er proportions wholly nullifies the poi
sonous properties of the tumor extract
Will Experiment on Humans.
Dr. Newell soon will experiment on
cases of cancer in human beings. Ev
ery patient to bo inoculated with his
scrum must first have been declared
by a committee of five surgeons to be
a victim of cancer.
Dr. Newell describes how, from cases
of operable tumor where a diagnosis
of cancer (carcinoma) had been posi
tively established by clinical and by
microscopical findings, the freshly ex
tirpated malignant growth was freed
from fat and extraneous tissue, cut
Into small pieces, boiled for several
hours In water and then filtered and
how the filtrate was acidified and
boiled and filtered again to remove the
proteins.
"This filtrate," said he, "was exactly
neutralized and the solution was evap
orated on the water bath to a sirupy
consistency. This sirup was carefully
extracted with pure alcohol, nnd the
extract after the removal of the alco
hol by distillation was repeatedly treat
ed with ether. The residue, insoluble
In the ether, was then dissolved In
water, and the solution was rendered
strongly acid and again thoroughly ex
tracted with ether.
"This time the etherial extracts were
collected, the solvent removed by dis
tillation, nnd the final residues again
were dissolved In water. The aqueous
solution was rendered alkaline, boiled
for half an hour and again filtered.
On the spontaneous evaporation of the
filtrate long, white, needle shaped crys
tals separated, and these wore purified
by repeated recrystallzatlon In water.
"These crystals In their purified form
are the basis of the subsequent In
vestigations," ho said.
Experiments on Rabbits.
"While up to the present the exact
chemical nature of the active tumor
extract Is not known, its capacity to
produce autl-bodles could bo studied
experimentally to advantage. To this
end a series of immunization experi
ments were undertaken with healthy
adult rabbits.
"These were used with one-tenth of
a cubit contlmeter of the tumor solu
tion. Ten days later an immunizing
dose of ten milligrams of the active
substance formed in the body of the
guinea pigs was given. Ten days later
a second solution was used. This dose
bad been sufficient to kill nonlmmunlz
ed rabbits in twolvo hours. Threo
moro Immunizing doses were given at
ten day intervals. In a period of fifty
days tho animals received sixty-four
milligrams of tho toxic substance, di
vided into six doses.
Hope Cure May Be Found.
"The serum from those rabbits when
In tho proportion of ninety-nine parts
of solution to one part serum complete
ly Immunized all other rabbits and
guinea pigs from tho action of the origi
nal solution, though double the death
dealing doso was administered In ev
ery experiment.
"Tho serum from the animals Immu
nized contains a substance or mixture
of substances which possesses the pow
er of antagonizing tho toxic action of
tho tumor substance. This has been
demonstrated by use of the serum ei
ther previous to or simultaneous with
that of tho tumor poison. In both
events no effect Is observed from quan
tities of tho poison which if used alone
would, produce a rapidly fatal Intoxica
tion.
"With tho simultaneous use of pol
son and anti-body it has been shown
that ono part of tho latter will offec-
tualiy antagonize nlnety-nlno parts of
tho former."
Funds For Polar Expedition.
The National Geographic society,
.111 UeUllUUUlLt'lEl UL UBllliJU LUU. 1I1IH
voted $20,000 toward tho cost of tho
scientific, north polar expedition which
will leavo tho Pacific coast under tho
In June, 1014, to explore tho polar
sin.
DOG MEAT CONSIDERED
LUXURY BY THE INDIANS.
New Custom of Germans Long Prac
ticed In United States.
Tho uso of dog flesh as a food for
man is becoming common even In the
capital, said a recent news item from
Berlin, but tho Germans aro ouly
adopting a food considered a substan
tial diet for centuries by some Ameri
can Indian tribes.
In Oklahoma the Cheyennes and
Arapahoes and tho Sacs and Foxes aro
clog eaters, and the few whito men
who have eaten dog flesh while visit
ing with these Indians say that it Is
not unllko other meats when cooked.
Old timers among tho plains Indians,
scouts, trappers and frontiersmen gen
erally, who have eaten dog flesh with
theso tribes, pronounce it good.
Tho eating of dog meat by the In
dians, however, is a centuries old cus
tom. The Cheyennes aud Arapahoes
are dog caters, yet the dog feasts held
by the Sac nnd Fox tribes are a part
of a religious ceremony which tho
tribes followed when they owned tho
country all around Lake Michigan nnd
were the lords of tho forests wherever
they roamed.
,liy white men the secret order among
tlioSnc and Fox Indians, which annu
ally celebrates with a dog feast, is
known ns the "otter skin" order, the
namo being adopted from the uso of
otter skins during the celebration of
the order's various ceremonies. They
hold in great reverence tho several
hundred otter skins possessed lif the
tribe and say they have been handed
down during many generations.
DIVINING RODS ARE SUCCESS.
French Peasants Find Subterranean
Water In Odd Way.
The results of the first series of ex
periments with the divining rod before
the congress of experimental psycholo
gy at Paris recently aro remarkable.
The first tests were devoted to examin
ing the diviners' claims to bo able to
detect underground cavities.
Four wlolders of the mysterious rod
were taken to n disused quarry in Vln
senncs wood and woro Invited to point
out the subterranean galleries and
shafts and to show their direction.
A peasant from south Franco was
the first diviner. He carried a long,
supple hazel wand with a forked end,
which he kept nenr the ground, and
walked forward, his wand trembling
slightly. The fork suddenly twitched.
The peasnnt announced that tho cavity
begins "here." then Indicated tho lim
its of the cavity, adding "it Is flfty feet
deep and quite dry." These details
were found to be correct.
Tests of water finding wore made at
Sartrouvliie. where two springs, tho
positions of which were only known to
tho judge, were sought as well as the
water supply of the city, which passes
under tho district. The competitors not
only showed the positions of the
springs, but nlso their approximate out
put. RADIUM AS ELIXIR OF LIFE.
Berlin Doctor Asserts That it Restores
Hardened Arteries.
The claim that radium can restore
tho hardened arteries of middle aged
persons to a healthy condition and so
prolong life was mado by Dr. Saubor
mann of Berlin In a lecture In London
before the Roentgen society recently.
If the thoory Is correct It will bo pos
sible for n few dollars to buy a radium
apparatus which will manufacturo an
elixir of youth.
Tho apparatus consists of an earth
enware receptaclo containing a minute
nniount of radium, which Is placed at
the bottom of a glass bottle. Tho bot
tle Is filled with water. In the course
of time tho water becomes charged
with radium emanations.
The radium remains active for hun
dreds of years, so It is only nocessary
to renew tho water In order to get any
number of doses.
NEW PROCESS TO MAKE STEEL
Industry to Be Revolutionized, Says
London Report.
Tho steel Industry will bo revolu
tionized If tho claims of a recently In
vented process of manufacturing it
prove to be true. According to tho
announcement, a process has been dis
covered for converting iron ore of any
grade, Including tho heretofore useless
Iron sands, Into steel of tho best qual
ity. Tho feature of tho new process
Is that blast furnaces will be done
away with, thus saving enormous fuel
bills.
Tests which havo been made recent
ly have produced romarkablo results.
The ore is reduced by heat obtained
from a gas, which In Its turn Is pro
duced from slack. It Is said that by
the new process, tho cost of manufac
turing steel will bo reduced to ono
third of Its present figure.
WIRELESS CAUSES DISEASE.
German Physloians Discover a New
Ailment.
To the list of adjuncts of modern life
that bring now diseases is now added
adlote!cgraphy.
Tho German physicians who havo
just discovered the disease call it wire
less sickness. It consists of anaemia
with a marked diminution in tho num
ber of red corpuscles in the blood. The
doctors ascribe it partly to tho unhy
gienic surroundings of wlroless opera
tors, who generally work in tiny rooms,
and partly to tho ovrotherlzation of
tho air they breathe by reason of tho
alternating currents used to generate
the waves.
KANSAS CITIZENS
FACE "BOG GALL"
Forgotten Law May Soon Bo
Invoked,
CROPS ARE THREATENED.
Every Citizen Between the Anes of
Twelve and Sixty-five Year3 May Be
Called Out to Fight Pests City Resi
dents Also Subject to Law, but May
Be Excused.
An old, forgotten law, enacted by a
Kansas legislature at a time of great
need and never used, is to be called
into action nfter lying dormant In the
statute books moro than a third of a
century. It is the old "wnrnlng out"
law, made to fight the grasshoppers
after the disastrous raids of the lo
custs in the early seventies.
There never has been a time when
It was needed heretofore, but Gover
nor George H. Hodges has been peti
tioned to Invoke Its uko In central Kan
sas to fight the chinch bugs, which
threaten to do great damage to growing
crops this year.
Under this law every man, woman
and child between the ages of- twolvo
nnd sixty-five years of age may bo
called out to fight the bugs. The en
tire state may bo Included, although
it Is probable only a small part of tho
great wheat growing section of the
state may be mado into the "warned
out" district, ltefusal to answer the
summons will send the culprit to Jail
and assess a fine of $3 a day and the
court costs.
Bug3 Destroy $10,000,000.
Tho farm experts nt the Kansas Ag
ricultural college havo been making an
investigation of tho chinch bugs and
havo found the crops of 1012 were dam
aged to the extent of $10,000,000. The
college has asked tho governor to In
voke the warning out law for the pur
pose of avoiding equal or greater dam
age to the 1013-14 crops.
J. W. McCullough, assistant In
charge of chinch bug extermination nt
the college, wrote to former Governor
Stubbs as follows:
"I would like to suggest that you
issue a proclamation calling on the
people of Kansas for a certain date to
join in a general campaign ngnlnst tho
bugs. Many farmers are already burn
ing their grass, but the work is not
general and lacks co-operation.
"Fall and winter burning has been
thoroughly tested by the agricultural
college, and It has found that on an
average OS per cent of tho bugs are
destroyed, and tho crops are uninjured
the following year. The only requisite
to make burning a success is to make
it thorough."
Governor Stubbs did not act on the
matter, but left It for his successor,
Governor Hodges.
Grasshopper Peril Caused Law.
The wnrnlng out law was enacted by
the legislature of 1877 and is known
as chapters 110 and 120 of the session
laws of 1877. The law provides that
when the township or county officials
or tho governor believe there is immi
nent danger of a visit of grasshoppers
or other noxious insects all the Inhab
itants, both of the cities and the coun
try districts, may be warned out by
the governor's proclamation or by or
ders of tho township or county boards.
The order may affect the whole
state, one or a dozen counties or only a
slnglo township.
When the warning out notice Is post
ed It must show tho tools and Imple
ments of warfare to bo used In the
campaign. Encli person from twelve
to sixty-five years of ago must pro
vide himself with tho necessary tools
and meet at a designated place to be
gin tho battle.
May Exempt City Residents.
The campaign is to be carried on ac
cording to n general plan for the en
tiro township or county nnd under tho
direction of the local officers.
It Is not likely that residents of
Kansas cities will be called out to
fight tho chinch bugs. Tho warfare Is
to be carried on by burning, and there
are suflliient farmers to do the work.
Under the law the residents of the
cities may be called out and compelled
to fight the Insects the same as the
farmers.
WATER AIR SPORT POPULAR.
Many Orders Given For Hydroaero
planes In Chicago.
Flying hydroaeroplanes is a water
sport that probably will havo a num
ber of followers along the lako shore
in Chicago this summer. Half a doz
en of tho air water craft have been or
dered for delivery early in the summer
to sportsmen of that city.
The waters of Lako Michigan usually
are placid enough for the machines,
and elimination of danger, with prom
ised speed of from sixty to seventy
inlles an hour, has attracted wealthy
yachtsmen to glvo tho now game a
trial.
World's Longest Tunnel.
Tho Canadian Pacific railway will
begin construction shortly of the long
est tunnel yet Tho tunnel will be
built through Kicking Horse pass, In
tho. Rocky mountains, will be sixteen
miles long end will cost $14,000,000. It
will take seven years, It Is estimated,
to build it
FABULOUS TABLE ANIMALS.
8uch as Welsh Rabbit, Gcotoh Wood
cock and Mock Crab.
When ono comes to think of It, It la
surprising how many fabulous animals
come regularly to the dinner table or
supper table.
Among them, of course, tho most
famillnr Is the Welsh rabbit, which In
Its original form was merely toasted
cheeso. Soma folks declare that the
Bnme Is a corruption of "rarebit," but
this has neTer been proved.
Then there Is tho golden buck, which
Is a Welsh rabbit with a poached egg
on top. Chinese rabbit la a Welsh rab
bit with rice In It and a Mexican rab
bit (otherwise known as n Spanish
rabbit) contains tomatoes and -onions.
So much for rabbits. But how many
people aro familiar with the Capo
Cod turkey? Plenty In New England,
where codfish goes under that name.
Scotch woodcock Is two slices of hot
buttered toast with an nnchovy on
ench slice nnd n sauce made of half a
pint of milk nnd tho yolks of three eggs
poured over them.
Less familiar perhaps Is English
monkey, which Is made by soaking a
cupful of breadcrumbs In n cupful of
milk and adding n tablespoonful of
melted butter, a beaten egg and half n
cupful of grated cheese, the whole,
with salt and pepper added, being
poured over toasted crackers.
Tho mock turtlo Is one of the most
familiar of fabulous table animals, be
ing served In the form of soup. In
"Alice's Adventures In Wonderland"
will be found a striking picture of this
remarkable reptile, represented with
the body of a turtle and tho head of a
calf.
Mock duck Is a roll of chopped meat
and breadcrumbs baked. Mock crab
13 made by mixing equal parts of grat
ed cheese and butter, seasoning with
salt pepper and vinegar and adding a
few drops of anchovy sauce. The
paste thus prepared is spread on slices
of dry toast or sometimes served in
crab shells.
Last but not least remarkable, of
theso mythological animals, known
only to the kitchen naturalist. Is the
corn oyster, which Is a small fritter of
green corn fried Uko a real oyster.
New York American.
HE RETURNS AFTER 37 YEARS.
Aged Man Joins Family, Ending
Strange Absence.
James A. Stewart, who left St. Louis
thirty-seven years ago and was be
lieved by his family to bo dead, bns
returned nnd found his three daugh
ters after a week's search. Stewart is
seventy-two years old and was super
intendent of construction of the Eads
bridge when that structure was being
built.
Stewart could not recognize either of
his three daughters, and they saw little
resemblance between the aged strnngor
ond tho father who left them long ago,
! but ho proved his Identity, nnd tho fam
ily was reunited. Stewart refuses to
I explain why ho left home or where
his wanderings havo led him.
