Will the descendants of white men living in the tropical countries become black in course of time l This question has been raised by the discovery of a tribe of giant black men in German East Africa, who are so different in their refined features from the ordinary negro that it has been advanced that they must be degenerate Europeans. In. support of this theory the tra- ditions are recalled which tell of Europeti.n communities having been lost in the interior and having lived there for centuries in isolation from their kind One such story is men- tioned in Gibbon's History, and a native 'Hottentot legend of white men in Namaqualand once led the Cape Dutch on a wild goat& chase into the desert. However, scientists who have been studying the guess - tion do not seem disposed to agree with the theory. They point out that none of the legends cited has been verified by facts. For in- ntenoo : The South Afrioan Boer who lives in the semitropical Trasvaal, and whose forbears have lived for two oenturies in South Afrioa,, is only a shade darker in collar than the Dutchman born and bred in Europe. Again the Man- yuema, a negro tribe, who live at the eouroe of the Congo and aroused Lake Bangweolo, are physically not "dissimilar to the new tribe of giants just discovered, and are one of the finest races in Africa. Yet they are inveterate cannibals whose excesses have disgusted every Eu- ropean traveller. On. bhese grounds they refute the theory that white people in the tropics will in due time become black, Rubbers and Over,Stockings In One.

Quartz Cold Mining. Some extraordinary rich (samples of gold quartz have been taken into Vancouver recently from Texada /eland and are said to have been taken from regular ledgee and not from mere pockets. Placer min- ing has to a great extent overebndowed anyother form of gold mining in Britieli Coumbia not only booause the sande of the rivets have nearly always shown gold but because the proepector can wander freely over the country with his pial[ and pan, and. if he makes a strike he can work his claim on the spot with very little ex- tra in the way of neeeesitied. Hut quarts mining is different. Transportation of machinery to deal with the quartz has been most laborious and expensive and the results of transporting machinery in- to a dfotriet only to find that the gold 00. oars in pockets would be rather disastroue. On the other hand gold -bearing quarts lodges are apparently usually of far greater value than planer fields. The' whole world hue been astonished at the production of the Transvaal gold mines, which ars entirely quartz Ledges and go down to enormous depths. Rumens have from time to time come through from the Peace River dietriot that there to quartz formation bearing gold exactly similar to the Ile of the famous Johannes- burg mere.

Of the to- tal, trespassers formed 818. per cent., or twice an much as the percentage of the next highest class. Passengers killed in' accidents to trains numbered only 3,302,1 or 1,7 per cent, Our Canadian statistics show that the number of treopassers kill-, ed Is almost ae large as all other classed , put together. In the last ratlwav X al' for which data is available, that ending on June 30, 1912, the fatalities on Canadian railwaye numbered 668, and of these 236 were to treepasaers. Women In Australia.

He is the man des- tined, to it would seem, to be the last Chief Secretary for Ireland in the British Cabinet, for when Home Rule is in force there will be no need of the office, in its present form et any rata. There is no moat sincere Home Ruler than he, and few are the British politicians who have a better knowledge of the Irish people and their problems. Mr. Birrell is a most benevolent looking man. He looks like one of the Cheeryble brothers. But -you mustn't think he is as grnndmothev ly as he looks, He resents with vehemence any attempt to miscon- strue eomething he 'has said. When one of the eloquent Cecile mis- quoted him in the House, he • at onee interrupted the oration (in that lion's roan of a voice that is at once the terror and delight of his opponents) with, "I may be a fool, but I'm not such a silly fool as to have said anything of the sort." And he corrects his friends with the same bluffness. He never lends his name to a misconception, nor cares to be the peg for all the virtues with which Party seeks to drape its leaders, says a writer in London Sketch. "Bob Logic." He has half succeeded in estab- lishing his ferocity. "Have you ever known a female Birrc111" asks Lady Sybil Grant, as if the big voice rendered it futile for any wo- men to aspire to fill in polities the plane that he fills. His wit, too, is of a masculine quality. Based upon fact, rather than fancy, it is the writ of the •student; his jokes are crack- ed in the hard-headed school of logic. "Bob Logic," Sir Frank Lockwood used tri cell him; and it is in the company of lawyers and doctors and politicians that his hu- mor flourishes. Mr. Birrell'•s tante in brooks, while it is sane and thorough, has the same hiss as his humor. His in- clination is for the weighty wile - Rt. Ron. Augustine Birrell. Mee of the eighteenth century. No trend of fashion beguiles him from the things that naturally appeal to him. He loves his Dr. Johnson whatever befalls, and could go on editing him to the end of time. Oherles Lamb, and Browning, and Charlotte Bronte are also among his authors, and he has read "the young men." But his preferences are easily tested by his copious quotations. In talk, in speech- making, in essay -writing, he is con- tinually citing the heavy couplets, that lighter memories cannot carry, even if they oared to. Birrellgeon.

That child, probably, was no other than A.B., for it is characteristicof hien to break with Genesis, and scant again at the beginning on his own ac- count. One of his weaknesses hat been a cwrtain willingness to sneer at the reader who approaches liter- ature in the religious, rather than the literary, mood. Mr. Birrell is irreverent, not necessarily 'toward religion, but tow ands certain class- es of the religious. Birrsligion be- comes very much the came thing as irreligion when the Chief Secretary thinks he finds that the devout par- ent, with no sense of humor, uses his devotions much. as Ito uses cas- tor-oil.

Most persons know that eating a raw onion "drives out a cold," bet why the onion should possess this beneficent power not one in a hum dyed persons who were cured would be ablate say. The oil contained in the onion, chives radish and horse radish, is an oil the[ belongs in the category of spices, and this oil has a deadly effect upon certain pathogenio, that is to say, harmful bacteria flourishing in various organs of the human body. The intestinal, flora against which Dr. Metchnikoff wages his incessant campaign are the best known of the pathogenic bacteria and are among the most dangerous. But the microbe which causes colds is quite annoying. Ac- cording to Dr, Haig; the great uric acid specialist, 'ail oolds are duo to a combination of throe things—a chill, a microbe or a uric acid ten- dency which prepares a cell for the microbes' growth. In addition to being a source of great discom- fort a cold is dangerous as well, he - cause the person suffering with ib is always in jeopardy of pneumonia. Thepneumonia germ, the diplococ- cus pneumoniae, is ,present in mod- erate numbers in the mouth of per- feetly healthy persons, but the mu- cous membrane forma a sort of pro- `teotive wall against it to bar it from entering the system, During a cold the ,extremely delicate membrane lining of the noise, mouth and throat is intensely irritated and its protective efficiency is greatly weakened, affording the pneumonia germ a better foothold then when the membrane is in normal condi- tion. Among the germs to which the oil of the onion is a deadly foe is the cold mbcrob'e, and by attacking ons of the causes producing colds is obviated, Thus the cold microbe, one of the necessary three factors that .caused the ooid an :onion, eaten raw, will "drive nut the cold." Prolsorly speaking, the onion is is vegetable, bit because of its strong flavor we have come to regard it almost exclusively as a spice. There are other spices which have just as good an effect upon the human sys- tem. According to Dr. Alfred Gig - on, of Basle, spices are a much abused constituent of the diet. .11e classifies spices into five divisions.

Otto May Prepare a Whole :Beal Ln a Few Minutes. A Spanish physician is credited with being the latest inventor of concentrated food tablets, The only tablets heretofore that have been a success are those containing a compound of beef, which, when dissolved in weber, forms a bouil- lon. The Spanish dootor'e tablets are concentrated vegetables, Sneats, soups and sweets. By the use of five or six tablets of various kinds one may prepare a, whole meal in a few minutes. The tablets are light in weight, and are being especially prepared for explorers, aviators and for automiobilists who are mak- ing long cross-country runs, They may later be introduced into prac- tical housekeeping, if they can be reduced in cost by manipulating large enough quantities. Many of the tablets may be eaten without being altered in farm., hut, according to their inventor, they improve in taste by the addition of water. They are a dull brown in color and are a sort of powder. This powder is compressed with great force into a solid cake, which is wrapped in oiled paper- and tin foil. Oiled silk will be used to pro- tect those taken by explorers. Some of the varieties prepared by• the Spanish doctor are various kinds of soups; tablets, potato fla- vor; tablets, onion flavor; tablets, asparagus flavor; tablets, beef fla- vor; tablets, menton or lamb flavor, and bullets, chicken flavor.

The appropriations range es high as 800,000 at Leipzig and $58,000 at Berlin, Munich is the only large city not yet in the market, the city council having postponed its in- tended $50,000 appropriation on the ground that speculators had raised the price of radium artificially and exorbitantly.

In the same publication Professor Werner of the Sameriter House at Heidelberg reports on an alterna- tive treatment of cancer by a com- bination of chemical and radioac- tive treatment. Ile uses as the chemical element cholin, a product of the decomposition of lecithin; ono of the fatty substances found in the body, It was observed about a year ago. that under the influence of radium rays the lecithin of the body tended to change into cholin. This led to experiments with the introduction of cholin into the body, thereby imitating in a chemical way one of the effects of radio -active treat- ment. Professor Werner has treated. several hundred eases and reports decided improvement in a oonsid- enable percentage. In some in- stances the oonnplete disappearance of the growth under treatment wan noted, though only time can tall whether actual cures were effected. K GARDEN OF GETHSEIMMANE.
