FAMOUS OLD PORT MABftEH I r& A PrttMT fir iMPOB. TANCE FOR CKNTURII*.* French *Clty, Older Th.n the Country Ittelf, Is Now tho Naval Bass of th? Forces of ths Entente Allies. "Marseilles, the unwearied contes tmti for Mediterranean trade durlug ?'<l centuries, and the city wherein the enrllKNt naval traditions of irunce were formed, whepce fleets were sent before Home's day of power to chal le. ,ge the great Mediterranean port clty, (Carthage, la today the principal naval base for the allies upoO^ the Mld dle ocean; and, with tho shifting o the stress of the world war toward the east, to the Balkan*, to Turkey-ln Kurope, to Syria and Mesopotamia, 3 become a place of ftrnt strategic con sequence, while, from lt? harbor, a Hteady stream of the 'sinews of war fare' 1? pouring Into the vital fields bordering the Eastern seacoast, be gins the primer on war geography is sued today by the National Geographic society. "Marseilles lias been an important city through all of Europe's historic ages. It Iiiih been In competition for the commerce of Its Inland sea from earliest times; has seen Its competi tors. one by one. reach their zenith i,n<l decline, while It still remains a foremost Mediterranean port. Its ri vals today are of the younger set of cities, Genoa, comparatively youthful, and Trlest. a newcomer Into the fold of contending world-ports. "Gfcnoa, though of about equal age with Marseilles as a harbor, first came Into commercial fume during the early middle ages. Sldon. Tyre. Athens. Co rlnth, Cartilage, Rugusa, Pisa, Venice nnd a host of other cities have at one time and another fought a bitter rival ry with Marseilles, and of some of these even the history of their efforts Is forgotten, while their one-time rlvnl has passed through several declines to ward an even greater future. "Tracing Its descent from early Phcnlclnli times, the fortunes of Mar seilles have fluctuated with the for tunes of civilization upon the Mediter ranean coasts. The Phoceans. a Greek people whose trading Instincts carried them beyond the confines of the known world of . their day. came after the Phenlclans. took Marseilles from them and made It the New York of the ancient world. Due to thylr en terprise Marseilles became the first of trading cities, and* during the Punic wars, its aid saved Home. "Situated In the center of things Mediterranean on the (Juif of the Lion, en joying the advantages of an excel lent harbor. well equipped, together with a rich and productive hinterland. Marseilles has again become the tlrst port on the Inland sea. the first port of France, the second city of the re public nnd one of the wealthiest com munities In Europe. It lies i>M4 miles south-southeast of Paris, with which it is connected by the Parls-Lyon-Medi terranee railway. The manufacturing city of Lyons lies '219 miles to the north upon the River Illume, whose princi pal channel reaches the Mediterranean sea. 2." miles west of Marseilles. "While Marseilles possesses few ar chitectural extravagances, It Is well and solidly built and thoroughly mod ern. It has preserved n<? interesting remains from ancient times; for the modern spirit, which has characterized its long life, has left it little appetite for reminiscence, and the wars that have swept over It have destroyed much of its heritage. The public works of the city and its conveniences, however, are on a par with those of the best-administered municipalities of todaj. ? "The port does a vast export and Import in peace times; buying cuttle, coffee, raw cotton and silk, hides and grain, and selling cotton and woolen good*. Fibbons. soHpVsllk. sugar, grain, fruits, wine, oil and perfumes. Its shipping business is carried on along 12 miles of model quays where 2.R00 vessels can be accommodated at one time." Lightning's Freak. Lightning recently at Spartanshurg, S. snapped around (ho premises of J. Y. Cantivll. His two children, sit ting in a swine fastened to one of two trees situated dnse together, had their dresses scorched by a holt of llght ulng which struck the tree, tearing the hark off In places hut not hurting the children in the least. Four nudes hitched to a wagon in the road Just op posite the tree were knocked down, one being killed. A fence 40 feet far ther down the road was set on fire. A single bolt of lightning performed the whole feat. Besides knocking down the four mules hitched to the wagon in the road the lightning made a hole as large as a water bucket just behind the wagon. The bolt set the fence <>T 1 a hogpen afire which wan on the oppo site side from the two trees, and at least 40 feet down the road. Prussian Cities Buy Milch Goats. A number of tlerman cities hnve ta ken practical steps to solve the milk problem, which still Is very serious in the large centers of population. Twelve of the largest Prussian municipalities have bought 75,000 goats In Switzer land. The animals have been turned over to the owners of small farms in the suburbs of the cities on condition that they deliver 70 per cent of the milk obtained from the goats to the relief stations, where it Is distributed among poor families with small chil dren. The gonta furnish 200,000 quarts of milk h day. RtASUNS FOR 8R0WINQ OLD. Men of Research Have Been Unable to Agree ae to Why the Human N ..... Frame DetmitAtee. r ? - ... ?? To the question. , "Why <!?> we grow, old?" muny answers have been given. Mtdschhlkotr tugjcested that we are poisoned by the absorption of the pro ducts of bacterial activity In the large Intestine, for this bring* about hard ening of the walla of the arteries and also corrupts our bodyguard of wandering amoeboid cellH ho that they become traitors, turning upon the cells of thu central nervous system. Others have suggested other rilodes of autointoxication. To Nome It has seemed enough to refer to wear and tear of hard-worker organs like brain and heart, liver and kidneys, for a chain Is no stronger than, Its weuk est link. Others have referred to the waning activity of the ull-lmportant organs of Internal secretion, and others to the Important fact that there Is no multiplication or replacement of the*1 cells of our central nervous sys tem after u very early date In our life. It may be pointed out, however, that most, If not all, of the theories break dowu because they do not admit of all-round application. Thus it is plain that many animals that are not troubled with a large Intestine never theless grow old. Furthermore, the theories seize on symptoms rather than on causes, for while It is good sense to refer to wear and tear, the question arises why all aulmals do not exhibit the perfect recuperation to which some at least have attained. Prof. Child, of Chicago, has been working for 15 years Or more with simple creatures called Planarian worms. One of the features of their life which he brought to light Is their capacity for periodically becoming young again. Thus it often happens that a Plnnarlan separates off the posterior third or quarter of its body, which speedily grows into n whole, while the diminished original heals itself and grows a new tail. When a Planarian is starved It can continue living on its own resources for sev eral month*. Its cells become smaller and they also become fewer, but life Is not surrendered. Such facts have led Prof. Child to a survey of the animal kingdom, the result of which is to show thnt there la a much wider oc curence of rejuvenescence than has been hitherto realized. It occurs I especially in connection with vege- i tatlve multiplication, but there are ! other occasions In which the creature | becomes younger in whole or In part hy lying low for a season. Perhaps j this may be part of the value of pro- j cesses of dying back and rearrange- , ment which occur In winter In some i animals and in many plants. Blood Transfusion. This month's number of La Revue ! describes a new method of transfusion i <>f blood, an operation often necessary under conditions which do not always allow certain precautions to bo taken, i The method is due to Prof. Luis Agote. an Argentine surgeon, and su- ' cessful experiments have been made before the rector of the Sorbonne, the , dean of the faculty of medicine, and Several professors nnd doctors. HI nod is taken from the bend of the 1 elbow of the subject willing to lend ! his aid and collected in a receptacle i which contains a solution of neutral citrate of soda, prepared in the pro portion of one gram of salt for 100' grams of blood. This mixture pre vents tTio blood from coagulating, without destroying its vital proper ties, and as the citrate employed Is In offensive to the organism it can be In jected Into the forearm without dan ger, thus obviating the chief draw backs to the transfusion as generally | practiced. The receptacle for the blood drawn Is a graduated glass with double tub ing and has a large enough opening to allow the blood to fall directly into It The end Is pointed to allow the tube for Injection to ? oJJect_ the maxi mum pf blood without allowing air to enter. From three to live prams of so lution are placed In it. a sufficient quantity for ,S00 grams of blood. ? Paris Correspondence to New York Sun. Investigating New Serum. Scientists in the Johns Hopkins uni versity are experimenting with a* new- ; ly discovered serum which they believe will eventually he uhle t<> restore a person to life after asphyxiation' or drowning. The experiments performed upon Animals In a number of instances restored them to life after they had ! been to all appearances dead for sev- ' eral hours. A few days ago an ani- : mal was brought back to life four hours after its apparent death by the ; injection of-tbfs serum. In this case, however, th? animal died shortly after ward from blood pressure. It is be lieved that this tendency can he over come and the new serum utilized in the resuscitation of human beings who ' would otherwise "die" permanently. I 1 t Electric Lamp* In Verdun Fighting. According to a special correspondent of the New York Times, electric pocket ! lamps have played an Important" role in at i**a?t one engagement around Ver dun, namely, the retaking of the Hen ri romont quarries by the French, of which he says In part : "Underground la the quarries the darkness was abso lute save when bursting grenades showed brief visions of carnage and terror. Friend often grappled friend, until the French adopted the plan of fastening an electric pocket lamp to the tunic button.

James, of Hishoi> vllle, for 11 meeting of 'Reformers' to gather In Columbia on October IK is for the purpose of engineering a bolt from the Democratic party or to fath er a new party In South Carolina," Haiti a prominent Bloaso leader from Lee county, who was visiting Colum bia last week. "Mr. James had no such object In view and it is doing him an injustice to charge him with ulterior motives in calling this con vention for he Is what one may call a 'dyed-in-the-wool' Democrat and one of the best, men in I<ee county." The meeting of Bleaso people to be held here is for the purimse of reiterating the principles on which the faction is founded, averred this leader, and to in culcate a spirit of enthusiasm in the faction. He further stated that cer tain needs along legislative lines prob ably will be considered and plans for pressing them before the general as sembly discussed. The Ia'O county man also said that it Is Mr. James* idea to have the convention indorse Wood row Wilson ami Richard I. Manning as nominees for president and governor, respectively, of the Democratic party. ? Columbia Record. The tallest people in the world are the Kororos. of South Western Brazil.
