ject for London Lancet-
Lupus VulgarIs of Neck.
J
New York.-Several European phy-
'Bicians and surgeons have been exper- -
Umenting v/ith injections of , solutions ol
radium as a curative measure. Dr. L.
Wicham and Dr. M. Degrais have writ-
ten an article on the subject for the
London Lancet. The Medical Record
eays of it :
"They allude to a paper presented
4it the Lisbon congress by several
French authors , the conclusions of
which are as follows :
. .
" 'When introduced into the animal
Ibody the emanation diffuses Itself
' through the structure , and may in this
- manner reach deep-seated parts. It
lias : a predilection for the glands which
form : an internal secretion and espe-
dally for the suprarenal capsules. It
3s : eliminated by the lungs and the
-jskin , and to a small extent by the
Tkidneys. '
"The authors then pass on to relate
itheir own experiences with this mode
of therapy. In a case of lupus vul-
jgaris of the neck , a curative change
was produced by injections of (1) wa-
fter rendered radioactive in the propor-
1tion of one mlllogram of pure sulphate
-kf ! radium per liter , or (2) water Im-
jpregnated with radium in the propor-
tion of one millogram of pure bro-
taide of radium per liter. In this case
. * 40 injections of each kind and of from
one to two cubic centimeters were
jgiven in the course of two months.
"They have also presented a case of
Jlupus erythematosus , treating for com-
, jparison the lesions on the left side by
the application of the radium appa-
Jratus and those on the right side by in-
ijections. On the left side there was
ja \ sharp reaction with destruction of
ithe lupus and a subsequent process of
repair. \ Later there seemed to be a
strong \ cicatrix , but still later there
a was a recurrence of the lesion at the
margin of the tissues of repair. On
rthe right side there was no visible in-
iflaminatory reaction , but there was
first a diminution and then a disap-
pearance of the erythema of the lupus ,

In "Poetry and Mathe-

t
Chicago.-Poetry is booming. The

tlest mold. Professor Ernest J. Wil-

mathematics department says so.
Profesor Wilczynski , who teaches

I "The poetic and mathematical as-
j-pects of the human mind have much
real-
jmore in common than Is usually -
ized , " said Professor Wilczynski.
"There is no such thing as one faculty
rof the mind that Is without contact
with I other faculties , and It is true In
the case of the mathematics and poe-
, try , of course.
"A poem and a mathematical compo-
. } sltion are both the expressions of
Ideas. Goethe said that he disliked
+ mathematicians because they always
translated everything Into their own
"Slanguage. ! But he would not have ob- -
jected ] had he known that their Ian-
l . -iguage was the most beautiful , perfect
and adequate of all.
"Each art has a peculiar language , ,
and Its conventional symbols. Bee
thoven and Wagner spent many years
Distributing small black dots over
,
"five parallel lines , but the dots were
only the symbols , not the music. In
the same way the mathematical equa-
rtlon : Is only the symbol , but the form

, lof both poetry and mathematics.

"At the time the recurrence was

"The injection of certain Insoluble
salts of radium suspended In an emul-

with the diseased tissues and intensi-
fies the action of the radiations and of
the emanation. This plan was fol
lowed In treating a large cancerous

paraffin and vaselin. The object was
to inject this preparation beneath the
nodule , so as to prepare a stratum un-

part. Thus the nodule was exposed

Former Yale Professor Expects to I
Make Fortune Out of Experiment
on Pacific Coast.
-
Tacoma , Wash.-On Hesper Island , ,
in Puget sound , George Sifford , a
former Yale professor , is tenderly car-
ing for as choice a bunch of lambs as
ever delighted the heart of a gentle :
man farmer. They are karakuls , or .
the sacred sheep of Asia and biblical
times , and were secured by Sifford
after great effort and considerable
money. It Is said they are the first
ever raised In America ; they are
worth more than 100 times as much
as the common sheep of the flocks.
The Karakul is the sheep which pro-
duces wool used for the finest coats
in Europe. Its wool Is almost price-
less , and there are comparatively few
garments made from the real Karakul.
The pure bred sheep are to be found
only In the herds of the wealthy nor
blemen of Bokhara as the majority of
the breed are mixed with Afghan and
other species.
Slfford , while acting as a missionary
to central Asia , brought thirty of the
sacred sheep to this country. He se-
cured his first pure-bred sacred sheep
because of a favor he did for a Bok-
hara nobleman. Convinced that such
a sheep would soon be a source of
great wealth If once adapted to Amer-
ica , he searched around to find others.
He was rewarded In his efforts and
finally through the aid of a wealthy
uncle reached America with the speci-
mens.
To find a climate similar to that of
Bokhara was the most serious ques
tion before Sifford. On the way down
Puget sound from Victoria , B. C. , he
passed Hesper island , covered with
everygreen trees and luxuriant shrub-
bery. .Reaching } Seattle , he returned to
the Island to investigate and found . 1-

was no ulceration and there has been
no recurrence.
"It must be understood that soluble
radium when injected is in a free state
in the animal body and carries with
it gaseous emanations which give rise
to the phenomenon of radio-activity.
The salt In radium apparatus does not
supply emanation for , therapeutic pur-
poses , for this gas does not pass
through any solid body , being in this
respect unlike the extremely penetrat-
ing radium rays.
"The authors believe that these ex -
periments offer . much hope for the fu.
ture. "
How a Story Originated.
Tangier. - A report in circulation
here that American interests had pur-
chased the greater part of the valu-
able Anghora country , in southwest-
ern Africa , turns out to have been er-
roneous. It originated from a small
and unimportant purchase of land by
a Moor named Hasan Ben All , who is
a naturalized American citizen.

I saw a flock of several thousand
blackbirds flying southward over the
city last week. Migration to the south
is unusually early this season.
' "The chipmunks are very busy
laying up a supply of beech nuts and
other provender for a long winter.
Woodchucks up the state are going
into their burrows for the winter with
a big layer of fat on their ribs. Us-
ually they stay out until September.
You had better get your fur overcoat
out of the tar barrel for an early cold
snap , for frost will be here early. "
Mosquitoes Kill Cattle.
Lake Charles , La.-Southwest Lou.
isiana is in the grip of the mosquito
plague. Thousands of cattle have been
killed by the insects. They hover in
hordes over the fields and marsh
lands. At night they fly into towns ,
making living conditions almost un
bearable.
It Is impossible in some of the towns
along the Southern Pacific railroad to
go out of doors at night. Persons eat
dinner with their ankles swathed in
protecting clothes ; then they get be
neath bars and netting , for it is im
possible to keep the mosquitoes out of

Everything here was as near perfec- -

been used for the floor , the walls were
lined with panels of precious stones
and a wonderful flight of stairs with a
crystal balustrade led down to the

HATS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Millionaire's Wife Pays , Without Quej -
tion , Fabulous Prices for Artis-
tic Headgear.
. ! -
The millionaire wife pays anywhere
from $25 to $300 for a hat , and sh
buys half a dozen hats or so ever ;
season. The days are past when th
hat plays second fiddle , so to speak ,
to the gown. The hat and the gowi
are of equal importance now.
"How is it possible to put such a a
price on a hat ? " The question ha
been asked a thousand times .by astor -
ished husbands who pay the bills , am (
even by the women themselves wh
buy.
buy.Well , In the first place , th
plain hat itself is imported from Paris ,
and costs the milliner from $10 to
$25 , as against $2 to $10 only tei
years ago. This hat , though it fo -
lows the prevailing fashion , and
though this fashion may be ridici -
lous in the extreme , is nevertheless ,
artistic in lines and general form.
Perhaps it is desired that the hat
should be green. The artist mi : -
liner has hi her employ a FrencI -
mawj whose business it is to colo
hats to any shade or tint that may : ;
be .wished. He brings his dyes fror
Paris the pale , soft colors he use
are to be had only in that city - am (
has himself received his training ;
there. No American can "Mo thi
work. - .
The trimmings and materials for
this hat are , of course , importe
also. A $75 imported feather may be
the body of the trimming. Perhap
on the green ground it is decided tha
pink and blue roses will harmoniz
best with the rest of the wearer'
outfit. It is in deciding such thing
as these that the art of the milline
is called into play.
It is a French woman , too , wh
does the work on small hats an
toqes. She has been a worker fo
one of the famous firms in Paris-
for Charlotte , possibly , or Georgette
or Camille Rogers : If her specialt : ;
. is sailor hats , she has probably bee :
with Marie Louise.
A woman of wealth buys all he
hats between September and July
During the hot months the milline ]
may fit out a dozen theatrical con :
panies if she-chooses , but she canno
do this in the winter time , for th
two elements , tho social set am
the theatrical profession , must come t (
the milliner's parlors at differen
times.
Four sets of hats become a neces
sity to the woman of unlimited means
as follows : (1) city hats , (2) ( ) cour
try hats and seashore hats. (3) hat ! :
for February and March in the south
(4) hats for European travel.

twilled or corded weave. Mar
quisette and other fine veilings are
much employed in conjunction with
satin , rich lace , and chiffon , this com-
bination turning out the most fairy-
like wedding frocks without great ex
pense. One wedding dress shown by
a leading importer was of embroider-
ed batiste over satin. It was short ,
with a Dutch neck , and fairly incrust-
ed with needlework. It was to be
topped by a broad hat wreathed with
white crape morning glories and
snowy roses in the same airy texture.
The materials used show endless
shades of white , but pearl , snow-white
and a delicate cream are the most sat-
isfactory ones. A pretty arrange-
ment for the veil is to put it on after
the manner of a straight gathered cur-
tain , with the sides covering the
cheeks and the rest of the face : un
covered. The tulle or fine net used , Is
left unhemmed and it is shirred to a
wire under a round wreath of orange
blossoms.
Our illustration suggests an attract-
ive and girlish design for a cloth
frock braided with soutache that
, would be needed for walking or trav-
I eling. Here one of the new cloths
I with a rough finish is employed , the
color a delicate tan , with the braiding
and other trimming black.
The skirt is plaited with a closely
fitting yoke , and the upper part is a
species of polonaise , with the neck
rounded out and kimono sleeves ! : cut
with the side portions of the bodice.
White net embroidered with black
dots is used for the guimpe and under-
sleeves. Any wool of a solid nature
would do for this frock , and machine
embroidery may be bought for the
trimming if the braiding seems diffi-
cult. The upper part of the dress
could also be made of veiling and the
lower part of silk , and with this ar
rangement an embroidered guimpe and
undersleeves of white batiste would
be very pretty.
But In seeking for a rich effect re
member that a black note in the
trimming will always give it , and for
that matter , a gown In almost any
color might be trimmed solidly with
black and be in excellent style.
Smart Pump Bows.
The newest bows for smart pumps
have the advantage of being service-
able as well as good looking. . - They

TO FOLLOW DINNER
BOMB EXCELLENT IDEAS FOR
SUMMER DESSERT.
Kprlcot Charlotte One of the Bcst-
Is Splendid Flavored With a Good
Blend of Tea-Lemon Custard
Popular.
To vary the summer dessert courstr
.ome time , try apricot charlotte. This
b a worth-while sweet that is not dif-
ficult to do.
For fc you must dissolve a third of a.
package of gelatin In cold water and
add , after stirring , a cup of boiling-
water , also three-fourths of a cup oC
sugar , juice of one lemon and a cup of.
ipricot pulp from which all , traces of
stones and skin have been removed.
When it is cooled stir In a cup of
stiffly whipped cream and put in the
Icebox until cold , after which It is
ready to serve at any : time.
Some day , for a change , flavor the
gelatin with a good blend of tea. Even
those who do not ordinarily care for
the cup that cheers are likely to fall
In love with it in this form.
Soak two-thirds of a two-ounce
package of gelatin In enough cold
water to dissolve. Pour over this one
pint of hot tea , made strong , add a
scant cupful of sugar and the juice
of two lemons. Strain and mold.
After cooling put on the Ice to thor-
oughly chill and serve with whipped
cream.
Cool jellies , rennets and frozen com-
pounds , that slip down easily and re-
fresh as they go , seem the Ideal des-
serts for hot weather , but there are
always cool days when an oven dinner
Is ! substituted for the usual cold one
and for one of these occasions blue-
i berry pudding Is apt to figure , since
only in summer are the piquant ber-
ries available.
A good way to make It' Is with
sauce , flavored with a different fruit
for instance , cherries.
Separate three eggs and beat. Add
the yolks to a cup of sugar creamed
with a tablespoonful of butter. Add
alternately flour and milk. The flour
should measure two cups and must
have three teaspoons of baking pow-
der sifted in it. About a cup of milk
will be required. Flavor with a little
nutmeg and add more flour if neces-
sary to make a soft batter. At the last
fold in the whites beaten stiff and one
quart of blueberries dredged with
flour. Bake half an hour. For the
sauce cream a fourth cup of butter
with a cup of sugar and add a cup of
stoned red cherries mixed through.
For lemon custard sweeten two cups
of milk with two ounces ' of sugar and
the ; thin grated peel of half a lemon ,
add two inches of stick cinnamon and
boil up. Beat well In a separate bowl
four eggs , then pour In upon them the
milk , little by little , not having It too
hot. Strain through a fine sieve Into
a plain mold which afterward stand in
a covered pan containing just a little
water. Put on the fire and let it sim
mer for 20 minutes or until it has set.
Take out Immediately , cool and chill
near the Ice.
Serve with cream and pass candied
lemon peel with it , or instead of the
cream you may use this very simple
sauce : Half a pint of water sweet-
ened with two ounces of sugar and
boiled down one-half. Use very cold. '
Rainy Day Hints.
When there is danger of a wet car-
pet from the overflow of dripping um-
brellas on rainy days put a large
sponge in the bottom of the umbrella
stand to absorb moisture.
If you have a stand of china which Is
broken easily put in the bottom of it
a rubber mat or rubber tubing coiled
into a flat the desired size.
Never put an umbrella carelessly
into a stand or you may thrust it
through the silk of one already there.
Vlany a good umbrella is ruined in
this way.
If you have borrowed an umbrella
never put it in a public stand , espe- J
cially if it is not marked. You may
be mortified to have it carried off and
not be able to return it , through no
fault of your own.
Red Raspberry Crown. t
Put one cup of raspberry juice where
It will boil ; stir into it two rounding
tablespoons cornstarch or flour wet in
two ; tablespoons cold water. Add one
cup sugar and stir until it looks trans-
parent ; then add one level tablespoon
of butter and juice of one-half lemon
and fold in the stiffly beaten whites of
three eggs. Turn mixture into individ-
ual moldsand set on ice to harden.
When serving place on a dish and fill
center : with sweetened , whipped or
plain cream.
Very Sweet Fudge.
Two cups of brown sugar , two cups
of granulated sugar , one cup of milk ,
a teaspoonful of vanilla and two
squares ( four ounces ) of chocolate
good sized lump of butter. Cook as
directed for plain fudge. Beat very
hard.
Baked Corn.
Take off the coarse outer husks from
young corn , turn back the Inner and
remove the silk. Bring the Inner
husks over the end , tie in place and ,
lay ; in the oven. Bake about twentyf
minutes.
- u. _
To Make Pea Soup.
An economical soup can be mads
from ! pea pods. These must be fresn ,
unspecked and boiled in water untHj ;
soft enough to put through a sieve
Then add milk , thickening and him
seasoning.
