tumbles about when the fork is„used.
At the beginning of 'tire seventeenth
century, forks were introduced into
England by the author of that curious
book, "Coryate's Crudities.” He was
a strange traveler, famous for visiting
far countries and noting their alien
ways and customs. He says he first
observed the use of the fork in Italy
only, 'because the Italian cannot by
any means endure having his dish
touched with fingers, seeing all men's
fingers are not alike clean." These
"little forks" vtere usually made of
iron or steel, but occasionally of silver.
Coryate says he `thought good to imi-
tate the Italian fashion by this forked
cutting of meat" and suffered for it
by being called a fop by some of his
friends. But it was not long before
the cleanliness and convenience of the
innovation caused it to be generally
adopted.
The early craftsmen devoted much
of their skill to devising clever orna-
ments for the handles of the forks.

Dr. Finnof regarded this as a cons,

the Japanese scientist. He declared,
however, that there is not yet final
proof that the organism in question is
the cause of tracoma in human beings,:
since trachoma in monkeys is not'
identical with that in human beings.
The studies and experiments report-
ed by the Denver physicians appeared
to make a deep impression upon the
assembled scientists, who regarded
the confirmation of Dr. Nogl.chi's work'
as an important step toward the con-
quest of trachoma, a dreaded disease
of the eyes, which may result in blind-

fic micro-organism, whose complete
identity has not yet been definitely es-
tablished, is highly infectious. It re-

scourges of the human race.

CHAPTER XIX.
We returned to our room that night
somehow feeling that Toutou's gang
had somewhat of an upper hand in the
matter. Next day we arose rather
early and went out for a walk accom-
panied by Mr. King. We noticed sev-
eral Gypsies shadowing us, but having
become accustomed to this in the past
few days, we paid no attention to the
matter. Upon our return to the hotel,
as we entered the lobby one of the
clerks came fecal the office and ac-
costed Hugh.
"Your messe.xger would not wait,
milord," he said. "Mees King had not
