One of these doeumentts was dated 1639, and had corm:MOIL on it in red Ink by the supposed Chancellor of the day. Red ink wasn't Invented till 1780, a hundred and forty years after the document was supposed to have been written. Brinkley, the Croydon poisoner, was brought to the scaffold largely on the evidence of the ink expert, who showed that the will of Brink- ley's intended victim was signed with no fewer than three different inks, showing that it had been signed and witnessed at three different 'times, instead of all together, as the law demands. Nearly all modern inks are made from a naixture of galls and coppers, which combine to' form a kind of iron. It is this combination which gives the black appearance to ink. This mixture in the first place is almost colorless, only turning black after the writing has been exposed to the air for some tim.e. To make it appear at once upon the paper, therefore, the mixture is colored In various ways, making, the ,famous blue -black inks now used every- where. Nearly every manufacturer uses a different kind of coloring mat- ter, and this is one of the ways in which the inks differ, and can be de- tected by the expert. In the old days Ink used to be boil- ed steadily for a long time to make it black; \but in those days- ink was made 1»' the hotmewife as part of her' ordinary duties,- and many quaint ink recipes can be found in. old cookery bookre.

The old belief that pestilence follows in the wake 'of meteors may, therefore, have a great deal of truth in it, says Tit -Bits. A, short time ago a meteor fell into Lake Michigan, and since then the attention of scientists has been focused upon the fact that our earth Is at present undergoing its greatest known visitation of comets. The pestilence known as the Black Death, which visited, Europe and Asia. in the fifteenth century, and caused the most appalling mortality. followed the visit of a great comet. The mysterious influenza from Which the world has suffered so much lately began soon after we were im- mersed in the tail of Hailey's comet. IIt has beemiproved that while some comets are only masses of gas, most of the them are made up of enormous swarms of meteors of all sizes. Scientists, including Lord Kelvin and Sir Oliver Lodge, hold that the majority of comets are fragments of worlds torn to pieces by some cause or other. In those comets -which originated in the destruction of worlds,, the disease germs , or organ. - isms would have been carried away with the debris and remained in a dormant state In the cold of space. There is no limit to the time cer- tain germs can remain asleep. They are known to remain dormant for countless agree in the sun -baked des- erts of the world and on the frozen soil of the Poles. - • .. When, therefore, these germs are projected into our temperate atmos- phere by comets, it is thought by authorities that they awaken from their long sleep and are again ren- dered active and dangerous to the earth's inhabitants.

From the economic point of view Bulgaria's greatest loss is the itbsorp- tion by Greece of all her Agean lit- toral. Although the tobacco fields around Xanthi are famous, this dis- trict is not, on the whole, particularly fertile or rich; but its loss is a severe blow, as it means the relegation of m most /of Bulgaria's commerce to the Black?Sea. The harbor .of Dedea- gatch, where Bulgaria is given cer- tain commercial privileges similar to those enjoyed in Salonica by Serbia,: possesses better railway connections than any other. ./Egean port east of Salon-ica, but it remains undeveloped to any great extent and lacks mod- ern harbor facilities. Bulgaria is eliminated as an lEgean maritime power. Many who remember Bulgaria's in- veterate opportunism, in particular her treacherous attack on the Serbs in- 1913 and Ferdinand's perform- ances in 1915 as auctioneer -in -chief, will be tempted to believe that she has received the treatment she richly deserves. Certainly the official find- ings of the British -French -Serbian commission to investigate Bulgarian methods of terrorisation in this war, details of which are bestial and re- volting beyond the limits of our Western imagination, do not inspire us with much confidence in But- gariaai recent asaurances- that hence- forth she intends ‘to be very, very good; nor do they incline us to fever any expansion of her rule beyond the limits of those territories which tare overwhelmingly and distinctly Bul- garian. , From the ethnic point of view the transference of the Thracian cost to Greek sovereignty is not unfair. Al- most any line drawn in almost any part -of the Balkans will separate a considerable number of persons from the main body of their countrymen. The coast from Kaeala to DedeNtatch is and always has 4been far more Greek etham Bulgarian, and the hill country for some distance back from the coast, although sprinkled with. Bulger colonies and with many Greeks, has been predominantly Turkish for cehturies. Bulgarian aspiration's to become an sEgean power received their first im- petus from' Russia, lit 1878, at the time of the Treaty of San Stefano, In 1876 the notorious "Bulgarian atroci- ties" had aroused Europe against Turkey, and in the following year Russia stepped into the seething • Balkans with a declaration of war on the Sultan. In spite of early re- verses, Russia, aided by Serbia, Montenegro and Roumania, succeed- ed in pressing back the Turks and : threatening Constantinople itself. This changed European sentiment ovarniglit. The "Btagarian atrocities" were forgotten, and British feeling ran so high that, despite Gladstone's op ition, a fleet was despatched to t e Dardanelles to show t4t a Rus- sian seizure of Constantinople would not be tolerated. . Russia made peace, but in alletting the booty determined to favor the Bulgars as being her most -promising tools for future operations against the Turks. By the Treaty of San Stefano, a Greater Bulgaria was pro- posed, to include all of Macedonia, a large slice of Serbian territory to the northwest, which carried Bulgar- ian rule to the far side of Lake Ochrida, and most . of the north- lEgean. 'coast. Britain_ and Austria hastened to reject this arrangement, which no threateningly enlarged Rus- sian influence in the Balkans, and at the Congress of Berlin, convoked later in the same year, the Tregty of San Stefano was set aside, Turkey was handed back the bulk of her ter- ritory, and Austria was given the coveted permission to occupy "tem- porarily" the provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although the San Stefano arrange- ments were so swiftly blotted out, no Bulgarian school room since that time has been without a map show- ing the frontiers of "Greater Bul-- garia."

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF VERY TENDER FEET There is nothing more anaoying or embarrassing than to have the feet perspire excessively. with or without an offsensive odor. It will cause the skin of the foot to become macerated and result in painful fissures. It 'also causes a severe irritation of the foot 'nerves which in many cases is the -cause of headache and indisposition. The skin of the body is completely covered with thousand of sweat glands. Their activity is controlled by the nerves. The two disturbances of the sweat glands are anidrosis (suppressioe of sweat) and hyper- idrosis (excessive sweating). The former is due to a lack of activity of the nerves of the sweat glands, the latter is due to an overactivity of these nerves. This causative factor may be a constitutionel disease such as rheuma- tism, diabetes, tuberculosis, etc.'or it may be a weak foot or a fiat foot condition in which there is an un- healthy blood circulation and also an irritatien of most of the foot nerves. If the condition is mild and local, the following home treatment will effect a cure: Exercise the feet as foliows, are o e 1. Stand with the feet parallel.

The object of the contrast bath is to tone up the fdot nerves and to prevent any muscular soreness that may result from the exercises. The above treatment should be done daily for two weeks.

"While bubonic plague is under control in this country, there will al- ways be scattered infection until the rat can be exterminated," said Sur- geon General Cumming. "The most effective measure is permanent rat proofing for all buildings. Plans for this may easily be incorporated in any new construction.

Service, B.A., of Cheng- tu, West India. , Promotion of Health promises to be the leading ideal of the twentieth- century. • Social service, moral re- forrn, efforts toward race better- ment and public health work are to the front. The noblest task have been contributing to the advancement of man towards physical, intellectual and moral perfection. Millions of dollars are being expended and many Teen are giving - •themselves as martyrs to science that mankind may have more' abundant life. To -day the victories of preventive medicine are outstanding. While the aboveAe- true of the western world, comearatively nothing is being done for China, the oldest nation of the world, and with one- quarter of the world's population. In. China modern sanitation is almost un- known. There is an almost entire absence of hygienic habits among both the higher and thelower classes. All Chinese spit indiscriminately. Close construction of buildings, nar- row streets, overcrowding, cess peat, non -disposal of garbage, open latrines, ample means of mosquito and fly cul- ture, lack of fresh air and sunshine, no attempts at notification, isolation, quarantine and. disinfection; the rare practice of vaccination, prevalence of vermin, no knowledge of germs, but general belief that eruptive fevers, etc., are natural 'evils, make China in- describably insanitary. There are two large classes of diseases which are very ptevalent in China. These are the "opeeable", and the "preventable." LI no coun- try in the world are there so many and such large tumors and ulcers. Most of them, if taken'early enough, can be completely cured. • The "preventable" disease cause great bavoc among the Chinese. Ancient Chinese medical books give -very scant information of these dis- eases, and in actual practice the Chinese physicians are helpless. In China every year epidernies of plague andi of other preventable diseases hurry multitudes to early graves and to awful poverty.
