For example, alien typhoid fe er Gr pneurrh.lua 1s 'neva:eel, only a few, us compared with the total population, acquire the (hetes', ultheugh all may be living un- tie/ the same cc,uditions and be equally exposed to the infection. l'hysicia,s any, iu general terms, that those who r: cape have greater resisting power, %a like) means that they 'lave some pow- er weliin them to destroy the germs teal get into the body, and so to pre- vent their multiplication and the manu- facture by them of the poisons \vhkh cause the lesions and symptoms cot the disease. For a 1. ng tine it was unknown how the system was enabled to destroy the irhlt•Iol►e's of disease or to neutralize their effects. A solution of the problem has, however, r•ecoguiz' d as essential if physicians were ever going to Le able to treat infectious diseases in the only rational way -that is to say, ly destroy - Inv the cause; or to prevent with c. r- tetnfy their occurrence in those who haul leen exposed to the infection. Bacter-io- krgi'rrs all aver the world devoted them - miles cs with great assiduity to the stuly of flies problem, with the result that key are now beginning to understand tho subject, although there are still coir &ire points which must be cleared up lu fore the fulfilment of Pasteur's ero- phecy that the time will come when it will be l:ossible to exterminate oil in- fectious n- fecticous diseases. 'i'lrere are two theories regarding the way in which the body reFrsts an in- vasion of tire bacteria of disease- the chemical, advanced by Ehrlich, a Ger- man bacteriologist, and the mechanical, discovered by the Russian scientist, elekhnikoff, now at the Pasteur Insti- tute in Paris. Accord.ng to the first, when the speci- fy 1:oironl elaeorate'd by the bacteria gets into the blood, this fluid at once Legins t(i manufacture enother sub- 6lanwe which eels as an antidote, coni- Leining with the toxin and forming an Peel, non -p iesorwus substance. '''lie discovery of the untitoxin used in the treatment of diphtheria was the result of this theory. The second theory Ls that certain cells among which are some of the white it,lcxod-(:orpuscles. act as an army of de - tense. seizing upon the bacteria and de- issin,yirrg them. These Iwo theories are not really con- tradictory, although they seem so, and Wit processes are probably at work in c•\ Pry case of successful resistance to aro attack of infectious disease. Decent - it has been found that the white ttood-corpuscles, called ptiegocy'tes or "eating cell:s," need assistance to en- able them to destroy the bacteria, and on this discovery is founded the opso- bin theory. which will be discussed ill a future article. --Youth's Companion. - s(':\RLi r FEN -1:1t AND MILK. 111111. in the Medical Record, in a very lrttcrt•sling article, after an extensive re view of the literature, Lound that ' \wlute scarlet fever occurs in epidemic form in those countries where cow's milk forms a staple article of food, especially among children, it does not occur in countries where cows' milk Is cot used as a food. or where children are rnised on mother's milk only."

Now from New Zealand conics a still more amazing story of a man who was u r•ongly convicted twenty years ago, and, who, though proven innocent in 1595, Ina., so far failed to get redress. The case is that of John James Meikle who In 1887 was the owner of a well -stocked sheep farm of eight hun- dred ncres in Southland, New Zealand.

Once he said he never saw the brands on the skin and another lime he said he did, and he was also unsatisfactory rt; to dates. But the chief fact which told against Meikle was that the police upon arresting Meikle found 27 of the contpeny's sheep on his land and n skin bearing the company's brand in a building used as a smithy. These things were not insurmountable. but Meikle's defence was poorly handled. An at- tempted alibi (which years after was proved a good one) went to pieces and acted as a toonherang against Meikle, end the defence totally failed to lay nosy adequate stress on the fact that on the night Ief,re the alleged theft Lam- bert, carrying a bag which he said con- Ininel llankets, had visited \Ieikles sof; sties where the skin was afterwards found.

But Aathrtcoite Will Gine Out Seventy Years From Now, So it is Said. After all there is coal enoup-h in the country, and the trust will be able to c;onlinue to put prices up for many a Ing year to Donne. R,•erutly a number of misleading arti- et. s haw;' been given out, apparently on tit . authority of the United States geolo- gical survey, predicting the early ex- haustion of the fuel supply. The g;e.o- legidul survey did say the bituminous .'e al fields alight be exhausted in an - ether century, but the statement was qualified in such a way it was evident there would be coal enough for many :ong years to come. ' '1'o correct these misleading ini,pres- sions, Director Smith, of the survey has given out an authoritative statement prepared by !11. R. Campbell, who has euuarge of the division of economic geo- gy and fuck, and E. W. Parker, coal t:,ining expert and statistician. The facts are that the estimate of the t numinous coal fields prepared ly dr. Campbell eleovs the total quantity cf of al stored in the ground at about 2, - ?..)0,000.000,000 short tons. From Ilia tt•ere has been extracted, accenting to \lr Parker's statement, about 4.625,- 1.00,000 short tons. As'unhing for every 'e n of coal mined there is half a ton last, this represents an exhaustion e t !,early 7.(0),000,000) tons, or only about one-third of 1 per cent. of ttte total sup - ENOUGH TO LAST 200 YEARS.

However, taking in- to account the prolable rate, first, .,f increase and later, decrease in produc- thcn, experts of [!te geologicol bureau are of opinion the bulk of cheaply ntin- cd bituminous coal will be exhausted within 200 more years. But when the period of de rease in production sets n, they say, the need for ttre fuel will doubtless be supplied in a considerable degree by lie utilization of other forces of nature, thus extending the life of ':ie bituminous coal fields Still farther. So far as anthracite coal is concern- ed, predictions of exhaustion have been Eased almost entirely on the estimates by the Pennsylvania geological survey: showing that there were originally in the ground about 19,000,000 logg lons of coal. For c\ ton of coal reined one and one-half tons was lost. This means only 7,301,000,000 tons, if the original supply were recoverable. ANTHRACITE FOR 70 'LABS. Up to they close of 19(6 production amounted approximately to 1,650.000,- (160 tons, which would leave 6.150,00),- (.(00 At the rate of almost 65.000.0(10 lens a year this supply would last about rl:nety (nears. Later estimates monde by \\elliam Griffith, of Scranton, pa., placed the quantity of minable anthracite in the ground at the close of 1905 at 5.073: 7S6,750 long tons. Sire a then a trifle over 600,000,000 tons have been min- eu. leaving about 4,470,000,000 tons mailable. lender this estimate, at the rate of 65.000,000 tons a year, the sup- ply would last only seventy years. Against both these estimates niust be set the fact that production \w111 not be maintained at the present rate until ;he coal is gone. The production of anthracite, experts say, has about reached its maximum. When it does begin todecrease t rate probably will be slow. Moreover, with improved Whining methods nntl the in - ('•easel price of teed. tx'ds are now be- ing worked which were not included in the available res.erves when the esti- mates were prepared.
