It Ls now known at tuberculosis taken in time is quite amenable to treatment, and Indeed often gets well of itself without any specinu effort nn the part of patient or physician. The modern treatment is mainly ell- matic, that is to say, a removal, if pos- sible, to some part of the world where the climattc conditions are such that the patient can pass most of his time in the open air. But if this were all that Is needed Ike question would he n much more simple one than it really Is. 1l Is indeed the stain, but not the only thing. 11 is desirable also that the place of residence of the consumptive shall be dry, sunny, and free from high winds and dust. Whether it shall be in the mountains or near sea -level, in the so- othed temperate zone or In the tropics, Is n matter to lie determined by circum- stances. S mo persons prefer warm air to cold; others suffer from heal am! feel wall in cold weather. Naturally the patient's inclinations are to be consulted In such a case, for it would be cruel and disastrous to send a lover of the tropics tc winter in Minnesota, and equally cruel to compel a snowbird to live in the West Indies.

Reviving a thousand -year-old Indus- try, a band of capitalists and scientiels or Englund are going. to introduce a formidable competition into the paper- making of both the United States and Gi eat Britain. These men won't care whether the forests of the world are in the hands of a paper trust or not; for they are going to manufacture news and book as well as wallpaper and kind- red articles out of papyrus. The papyrus farms will be in Egypt. The cultivation of this plant has been extinct ter over 1,0`)0 years. The papy- rus reeds, at first, will L•e brought to England and made into pulp in an English mill until sufficient trade has been worked up. Then the papyrus syndicate will build its own mills In Egypt and ship the pulp. H. E. Winter, secretary of the new- ly -formed papyrus syndicate, in an in- terview gave ninny interesting details. "Twenty million dollars worth of pa- per alone is made in England annually. We shall produce a better quality , f paper and sell it at a much cheaper price. The present sources of supply for the parer trade are being used up rapidly. Only recently Norway had to legislate 10 prevent tate depletion of its forests. Canada and the United Slates will soon folb.w suit. "We have for some years been work- ing on our scheme. Smedley Norton, the author and explorer, was commis- sioned to revive the seventh century papyrus reed. The Nile grass, common- ly known ns papyrus, is not the real tleng. Mr. Norton discovered some true 1-.npyrlu seeds in remote parts cf Syria and Palestine nenr the River Jor- dan and Sea of Galilee and cultivation was begun. "We have now an immense tract ( t land situated nn the Nile In Egypt. C. R Clarke, the botanienl expert of Kew Gardens, has cern:led that our plants are tee real papyrus. After exhaustive eeperiments, Dr. Querin \Veiriz, con- sulting chemist and analyst to the. Pa- permakers' Association of Grent Britain, has produced the most admirable pulp. 1 committee of experts has outlined for us all the methods of cultivation and paper mnnufaeturing and we are now going nhend. Papyrus grows in water fiom seven to ten feet high. We gather three clops a year. Our land is ir- rigated by the Nile and is only plowed every five years. "\Ve will login manufachrre of paper le the spring when we will have 100.- 000 00:000 tons of papyrus ready for tate market. Experiments have proved that the yield of papyrus pulp. after bleach- ing.'is much larger than esparto pulp and exceedingly strong. We expect lo use it for the manufacture of all the things nnw being made nut of paper. Our propnsition is one which will nmar•k a tremendous revelation in tho paper trade."
