INFANTILE PARALYS'S. At various points throughout the country there are vivid recollections of the deaths due to the mysterious outbreak of infantile paralysis. Not only children, but elderly persons were among its victims. At New York those who died from the malady included a prominent business man and a priest who had visited young members of his flock afflicted with infantile paralysis and caught the illness from thenx There were numemus cases in St. Faul and Minneapolis. Specialists in the Rockefeller laboratories at New York have been working on infantile "paralysis for a year, using monkeys fa experiments which have demonstrated that it is not due to an abnormal condition of the blood, but is an lnfectious disease of the spinal cord. Despite acreful microscopic search for a distinctive microbe, so far none las beea found. Experiments are now lirected to the discovery of an anti toxin for infantile paralysis such as that which has been used with marked Success In the treatment of diphtheria. The knowledge that has been gained of jthe nature of the disease is expected jto facilitate the discovery of lt3 cure. ! . : I It transpires that the recent report from Germany that a certificate of Inspection on importations of pork from America wo!d be deemed adequate was erroneous. The German government has not removed its Interdict in this regard. Knowing that the special Inspection for trichina has been abandoned in this country, Germany will no longer request special certificates as to that disease, because it is reaped thai no such certificates can be produced. This, of course, leaves matters unchanged. But at present there Is no worry as to exportations of 'American pork because a short supply of hogs and an avid market for pork have caused prices to mount to heights at which exportation is unprofitable. ' a New York yachting writer remarks that the schooner Shamrock, once a proud bearer of the New York Yacht club pennant, has been "humbled" by conversion into a fishing boat with gasoline engine. The service may k?3 humble In comparison with the royal service of a well-kept racing craft, but it is far from humble In comparison with the fate of the latest racers for the America's cup, the majority of which have gone to the scrap yard with their first paint on their plates. A French astronomer announces that theomet which was visible recently Is not llalley's, and he promises that the genuine comet will appear in August. We positively refuse to get excited over any more comet announcements. It iatoo later' now to get anything into the magazines about an August comet, anyhow. An immigration Inspector passed a Woman who could not speak the lan- 1 guage when her parrot, weary of the parley, ejaculated, cut mat out: au right," said the inspector. "Your parrot speaks English. That shows you have been In this country, as you say. Vou're admitted." Look for a boom in educated parrots. Lv . - Ingenuity worthy ofa better cause was that of a couple of Jersey robbers who, on calling at a house and being admitted, bound and gagged the inmates, after which one joyously played the piano to deceive the neighbors While the other gathered up the loot This is the whistler at the plow with vengeance. It may become necessary for a benign governr ent to arrange a system of pensions ior those who are killed or wounded in the war the automobile Is waging on the human race. A New Jersey man receives. $200 for a tooth ho lost in a Cght with r street car conductor. This is one of the crudest as well as most expensive cases of dentistry on record. According to a physician everybody will be crazy in 2175, if the present ratio of increase does not decline. That will be a great year for musical comedies. A Pittsburg sculptor arrested oi a Paris street wore nothing but a pair of socks. He probably thought he was at home and sufficiently clothed in Braoke. Man gets five year in prison foi putting dynamite on car tracks "Just for fun." It's horrible to think whal would have happened to him If he'd teen in earnest. That professor who wants lr.beclles killed at birth overlooks the possibility that he might not have survived tc make the suggestion. The safe and sane coal mine 1 among the things eagerly hoped for, but as yet not probable. Edison plans to build a store where customers will be waited on automat fcally and clerks done away with. But will the machines be able to stand the rush of Christmas shopping? ; It is pretty difficult for rich Amerl cans returning irom Furope to pass up the opportunity of notoriety from a customs house squabble. Virginia nas a hen 'that photographs people on her eggs. Will the Icod comMlssion allow retouching? It's pretty mild fcr a Boston man to say that we'll be crazy in 265 year3. In Beacon Hill most of them think that we're all crazy now. If New Orleans insists on having the Panama canal celebration, San Francisco may get spiteful and start a rival MardI Gras celebration. With the feather duster banished by the march of sanitary science, the theatrical trust will be hard hit In th matter of soubrettes.

MANY CITIES PUT SAN ON BIG FIGHT PICTURES

Likelihood of Rsce Riots Result In Action by Authorities in Several States. New York. A movement Is cri foot which promises to become world-wide in its scope, to prevent the exhibition of the Jeffries-Johnson prize fight pictures. The United Societies of the Christian Endeavor, with 4.000,000 members. End the International Association of Police Chiefs are the leadt ers of the crusade. The Christian Endeavor society, through its Uoston headquarters, telegraphed to the governor of every state In the Union, asking that the pictures be barred on the ground that they reproduce an illegal act, and. that their exhibition would be just as illegsl s.3 te actual fight. Secretary William Shaw declared that he had wired President Taft, Colonel Roosevelt and Governor Hughes, asking them to use their influence to prevent the pictures from, being exhibited. The American Vitagraph company, which owns the fight films. Is believed to have spent $200,000 In purchasing the exclusive rights and in taking the pictures. Jeffries was paid $CJ,6G6, while Johnsen got 30,000 Rickard and Gleason each got onesixth. In addition the moving picture concern spent a small fortune sending a score of expert operators to Reno and In other incidental expenses. The picture people expected to take In $1,000,00 'urlng the first month the pictures ere on exhibition. This sum is sure to be reduced materially if the agitation against the pictures continues to spread.

Baltimore, Boston, Lincoln, Neb., Louisville, Lexington, Ky., Cincinnati. Atlanta, Harrisburg. Ta., Los Angeles, Savannah, and the whole state of Iowa. . ' , In many southern cities tue agitation against the fight pictures is increasing, due to the fact that a negro was the victor. The sight of a negro standing over the prostrate form of a white champion. It Is generally believed, will be sure to instill a feeling of race prejudice that would end in rioting. The crusade has extended sbroad. In Johannesburg, South Africa, the biograph halls themselves have prohibited the pictures. The latent race feeling in South Africa would birst into flames, the managers declare. If tho pictures were placed on exhibition in that country. COL. JOHN S. MOSBY IS OUSTED.

Walter Brook-, ir.s, in a Wright biplane, broke the world's altitude record Saturday evening when he attained a height of 1.173 feet.

Assured by his aneroid barometer that he was the first man to guide a flying machine more than a mile above the earth, and that ho bad established a new record by more than 1,000 feet margin, the daring aviator calmly prepared for his terrific glide back to earth with the knowledge that his engines would stop before he had made his first 1,000 feet downward.

The expected happened when Lrook-! ins was C,o00 feet in the air. Ilir entire descent from this height was made in a series of thrilling circular glide3, finishing with a sharp'swerving bank, which spectators took for a final act of plucky daring, but which really was the only move that saved the cool and ' daring youth from dashing into the ocean. Tho larding on the beach, cheered by 100,003 spectators was safely made, and even expert aviators knew nothing until several hours after of the mishap or the wonderful bravery of the youthful king of the air.

MULTIPLY ON YOUR FINGERS Method Is An Invention of a Polish Mathematician Serve as Cal- ( culating Machine. A French magazine describes an amusing method of learning and remembering the harder part of the multiplication table. The method is there stated to be an invention of M. Procopovitch, a Polish mathematician. He has discovered a way of making the fingers serve as a calculating machine to obtain the products of the numbers from 6 to 10, and also of the. series of numbers from 11 to 15 and from 16 to 20, both inclusive. For the first series 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 fingers and thumbs are numbered, the numbers running from 6 on the thumb to 10 on the little finger of each hand. Now, in order to multiply the number on one hand by the number on another finger we put the two fingers together, one on each hand. In finding the product we count the two Joined fingers and all above them and thus get the number of tens; to get the units we multiply the number of fingers below the joined fingers on one hand by the number below on the other. .; The rule Is a little different ror tho products of the series 11, 12, 13. 14, 15. The fingers of the factors are marked as before except that the thumbs are now 11 and the little fingers 15. Join as before the fingers to be multiplied. Then for 10s add together the joined fingers and all above them and also add 100. For the units multiply the joined finger together with those above It on one hand by the Joined finger and those above on the other.
