W'A.TEII DRINT(ERS, BEWARE:
Appendicitis Said to Ile Caused By
Water.
That appendicitis is due to water
drinking is the remarkable theory
put forward by a leading French
seientifie review. The statistics
collected tend to show that only 1
in 200 wine drinkers is attacked by
the malady, while 10 per cent. of
water drinkers are said to be vic-
tims.
It is also pointed out that appen-
dicitis has become vastly more fre-
quent, especially among the well-
to-do classes, eine@ water drinking
has become fashionable, namely,
during the last twenty-five years,
and the remarkable case is cited of
a familyof eixteen of whom nix who
aro water drinker.s,'had -to be oper-
ated upon, while the others were
immune.
The theory offered by several
prominent medical men to- account
for these feats is not that water
contains a microbe which may cause
the complaint, for -many sufferers
drink mineral or boiled water, but
that wine is an antiseptic and keeps
down the bacilli, whit b , when they;
become too nu:nlorous, may cause
appendicitis.
From these data, the public is
drawing the conclusion that total
abatiueno@ is an exaggerated vir-
tue, even from a scientific poinb of
view.

. A YEAR OF ADVENTURE.
This Men lfs(t More 'Jisan iris
Shaer) of Excitement,
Some one hale said that the most
th rillirn� adventures are not those
bleat we seek, and certainly no man
on the lookout for excitement ecoid
have lied more extraordinary ex-
pericnoaa than those that befell a
ohance acquaintance of Mrs, Char-
lotte Cameron, the- author of "A
Waanaii's Winter in South Amer-
ica,"
"Writing a book, are you?" the
new aequainteneo said to Mrs.
Cameron. "Well, I can give you a
pretty stiff chapter of what's hap-
pened to me this year. Why, in
one year I have had escapes enough
to lest me a hundred!" And the
1 incidents 'thatfollow, - sob down
without elaboration, prove that this
was no empty boast:
•
"First of 8.11, my train was caught
in a weeniide in Rogers Pass, Sele
kirk Range, Canada. Several pas-
eengers were killed and burried un-
der the snow. The train was block-
aded, .and held there four clays.
"Two months later, in Guate-
mala, I was .arrested as e revolu-
tionist. Taken to prison, tempor-
arily, and released,
"Earthquake itt Costa Rica, in
which the oily of Cartago was des-
troyed. I was in San Jose, where
there was also a severe earthquake.
"On a Peruvian boat, going from
Panama to Callao. Off the entrance
of the Guayas River, my vessel was
chased by an Ecuadorian war -ship,
but no damage was done.
"Crossing the Andes from Val-
paraiso toBuenosAires, the train
was snow -bound at about eight
thousand feet altitude for two days.
This happened in June, shortly af-
ter the opening of the Transandine
Railway.
"Took ship from Rio de Janeiro
I to Lisbon, and had an automobile
aocident at Cintra, in which I had
two ribs broken, My friend who
was -driving the car was killed.
"Across from London to Quebec,
in August last, then down to New
York, leaving New York early in
September for Para, Brazil, whore
yellow fever was epidemic. The
hotel. I stopped at, and even the
very room I occupied, was infect-
ed. The day previous a young wo-
man had been carried out dead. I
slept there, because I had no
choice, and lucidly escaped the fe-
ver. •
"Up the bnsozon a thousand
miles, as fax as the city of Mangos.
I found,all the hotels crowded; was
compelled to take an inside room
at the Hotel Casino. The room heel
absolutely no ventilation. Being
within a couple of degrees of the
equator, the disagreeableness of
the situation may be imagined. The
next morning a revolution broke
out; the hotel was within ono blook
of the palace, where virtually all
the fighting took place. Every win-
dow in the hotel was blown out, and
my despised room, instead of being
a place of torture, became a 'leaven
of safety for unfortunate beings
from the outside rooms.
"Bask to Para and thence to Rio
do Janeiro, where I saw the inau-
guration of a new president, and
the revolution of the next day,
when the town was fired upon by
malcontents."
COLD LIGHT.
ASystem Greatly Appreciated for
a Variety of Purposes.
A demonstration :was carried out
recently in London to illustrate the
application of "cold light" evolved
by. Professor C. F. Duesassd, a Con-
tinental soiontisb, which he has per-
fected for use in cinematography,
lighthouses, photography and other
similar purposes. The method is
very .dimple. It oomprises the
burning of .metallic filament electric
incandescent lamps, at about 100 per
oentb. above their norinal rating for
very short intervals. This end ie
achieved in several different ways.
For instance, the lamps may be lib
and extinguished by the aid of an
interrupter in the circuit, which
switches the current on and off at
regular intervals; or they may be
fitted to a revolvingdisc, which,
driven by a motor or other eflfeient
system, swings each lamp round to
light up as it passes it fixed' point,
by shoving over a suitable contact.
The lighting period is so brief that
the bulb has not time to become
hot, and the filament is not main=
aained at extreme incandescence a
sufficiently long period to break
down. The illumination obtained
in this manner is extremely bril-
liant and powerful.. So fax as the
cinematographic application is con-
cerned the lamp {alma the place of
the shatter, which is generally eiu-
ployed to out off the light during
the fraotien of a second iu which the.
filen is jerked forward the depth of
a picture. In this instanos the
light is extinguished while the film
is being moved, the result being a
series of regular letermittenb deali-
ng emitted at the rate of 10 per
second,'
Prof, Duseneul ilea carried out
many important developments in
connection with this system, ono of
the most important being itis ehro-

COLONEL DENISON ON CAVAL-
RY TACTICS.
Modern Leaders of Mounted Troupe
Still Go to School to grim.
Most of the leading British news-
papers have published) commenda-
tory reviews of the •second edition
of Colonel George T, Denison's
"History *1 Cavalry" (The Mat-
-milled Company). Of these one of
the moat recent is that of the West-
minster Gazette. Its review -or, who
is evidently a 'military man, gives
the Canadian writer the high praise
of being nearly 40 years ahead of
his time in the matter of cavalry
tactics, for it is nearly 40 years
since the first edition appeared. The
review is, in part, as follows;
"In 1874 the Emperor Alexander
of Russia offered prizes for the
three best books on the history of
cavalry, the competition being open
to officers -of all armies. The first
prize was awarded to the author of
the work of which e. s000ntl edition
has now been published, and it is,
indeed, refreshing to be thus re-
minded of the fact that British offi-
cers have actually a literary as well
as • professional capacity by no
means inferior to that so commonly
eredited to foreigners. Little won-
der is it that military works of the
highest class are comparatively
seldom written in the English lan-
guage, seeing that when written
they are usually neglected, where-
as translations of foreign produc-
tions, often of far less merit, are
almost invariably purchased in
great numbers by British and
American readers.
"Colonel Denison, an exceeding-
ly distinguished Canadian soldier
and British Imperial patriot, has
found him'se]f in the happy position
of -being fully justified in ordering
a reprint of his original work, ex-
actly as it was published in 1877.
Th -e single correction required, n
respect of an unimportant devia-
tion from ,strict historical aeouracy,
has been oonveniently made and ex-
plained in the preface; but as re-
gards modern developments not one
has given cause for the slightest
alteration of views expressed in
pages that were printed nearly 40
years ago.
"Colonel Denison's studies em-
brace a period of some 3,000 years,
and the object throVighoub' has al-
ways been. to arrive at the 'reason
why,' in respect of victories, de-
feats and developments, Such be-
ing the case, it will readily be un-
derstood that the resulting work is
not merely a `History of Cavalry'
in the narrow sense of that title,
but rather a critical review of the
evolution of tactics in general, as
influenced by weapons and by cir-
cumstances."

wanted is a float with its head well up
so that there will be no splashing and
no water coming over to prevent the ma,

holds that the bottoms of floats need not

There is but one other reference in
the Old Tesbament to the Nephilim.
This ,occurs in Gen. 6, where it
seems somewhat arbitrarily intro-
duced into a narrative where the
reference has little, if anything, in
oommon, being rather an explan-
atory note thrown in by the au-
thor of the passage. in both this
and the Genesis reference to this

we are doubtless brought in con-
tact with ancient Hebrew allusions
to a portion of early mythology
which in the sacred legends of other
peoples receives much more copi-
ous treatment-, namely, the stories
of demigods and giants. We are

Pearls, the only gem old ocean
yields, are found chiefly in the Per -
sign Gulf and on the great banks
near Arripu, off the northern part
of the west coast of Ceylon, at a
dietanoe of sixteen or twenty miles
from . the shore. Their originis
due to the presence of a living pa-
rasite between the shell and the
mouth of the mollusc. This be-
comes gradually covered by the
beautiful iridescent substance with
which the pearl oyster' furnishes its
abode. In the seventh year it ar-
rives at maturity. The pearl is then
of full size and perfect lustre. Un-
like its common brethren who grow-
in
rowin beds or clusters, the pearl oy-
ster attaches itself singly to the sea
bottom by a private cable. De-
scending from one of the light lug-
ger -rigged boats that form the fish-
ing fleet, a diver may gather a bag-
ful within a short distance; .at
other times, if his luck be out, he
may traverse half a mile, the beat
