Tularemia, or rabbit fever, cases showed a sharp int lease in the United States in 1938. Hooky Mountain spotted fever, having journeyed across the nation to t1 o Fust, entrenched itself more firmly in the Middle Atlantic states i "I caused a number of fatalities *' : e alarming was an epidemic of 1 bonic plague among rodents in the Far West, for this dreaded pestilence of the past is carried to man by bites from fleas which desert infected rats find squirrels. These, plus endemic outbreaks of rabies, held the public's interest; but other diseases carried by animals and acquired by man are far more common and cause greater health and economic concern. It is estimated, for example, that 16,000,000 persons in this country are infected with trichinosis alone. This means that one out of every eight is a victim of this diseuse caused by i a parasite found in pork?a staggering average which gives the United States the highest incidence among I all nations. Bovine tuberculosis and undulant fever are among the other important animal-conveyed diseases, while the lesser ones pose their own health problems. Man in the Iron Mask Still Puzzles Frenchmen On the island of Ste. Marguerite, near Cannes on the French Riviera lives a great legend. Here it was that during the reign of Louis XIV, in this rock-bound monastery, rising out of the sea, one of the strangest mysteries of French history was lived out for 40 years by the "man in the iron mask," whose tragic identity still is unknown. Treated with royal honor, in so far as his physical care was concerned, his face hidden behind a fitted iron mask that was never lifted, as a prisoner all those years this unknown man kept his lonely vigil of the 6ea until at last death set him free and he was taken to his grave. Historians have never found the answer. Some have surmised that it was twin brother to the king . . . that it was Fouquet . . . that it was a royal betrayer . . . that it was a self-imposed penance . . . But no one knows. And mystery lovers go to Ste. Marguerite to wander through the apartments of the strange Unknown, and are fascinated by the tragic loneliness of his fate. Blood Transfusions Age-Old Blood transfusion is by no means a new development in science. References to it are found in ancient Egyptian and Greek writing and it is mentioned in the seventh book of Ovid. Denys, physician to Louis XIV, is usually credited with the first successful blood transfusion, June 15, 1667, when he transferred nine ounces of arterial blood from a sheep to a sufferer from repeated bleedings, and both survived. The operation was unpopular until modern science increased its safety. Formerly the clotting of blood resulted in fatal results in one-half the cases.?Modical Society of the State of New York. Unemployment and Education Only one out of every hundred unemployed persons is a college graduate; almost half never got beyond grade school. In a representative group of 4,003 Minnesota and Wisconsin jobless, 1,921 had never gone beyond eighth grade. Of these, 40 per cent were classified as common labor, based on last previous employment. 35 per cent as skilled labor, and 25 per cent as office and executive workers. The 658 high school graduates revealed almost identical ratios: 37 per cent had last been employed as common labor, 38 per cent at skilled occupations, and 25 per cent as office and | executive employees. I A Quaker Craftsman William Savery, a Quaker who ! lived in Philadelphia in the middle years of the Eighteenth century, and who was a contemporary of the great English craftsman Chip' pendale, copied Jus furniture designs from a copy of Chippendale's cata! loguc which found its way to this J country. His designs followed so closely the lines of the great English master that his furniture was often called "Chippendale." Follow ing the development, the designs of Sheraton and Heppiewhite, and also the French empire, were copied by American craftsmen to great advantage. F.if.

New Television Tube Can Pierce Fog, Haze A television transmitting tube that I {-.mi pierce fog and haze to pick up J j scenes for transmission through the i ether has been developed in the laboratories of the Radio Corporation of America. The screen of the new tube picks i up scenes by the heat waves given j off by objects in the scene. Technically, these are known as Infrared rays and unlike light waves, they'pierce fog and haze. Thus, what is primarily projected on the screen is not a light image of the scene but a "heat" or infra-red image. Instead of being photo-electric as the ordinary "tele-eye" or Iconoj scope of the television pick-up cameras, the screen ts thermo-electric, that is, electric potentials are generated in it when heut waves strike it. The thermo-electric sensitive screen is disclosed as being a fine film of germanium, a rare earth metal, mounted on a thin sheet of mica. When the heat imuge is projected on it localized potential differences i appear in the film as a result of temperature differences in different elemental areas of the heat image. | These correspond to lights and shadows of the scene. Now when the image on the screen is scanned by a pencil beam of electrons, electrical cijPrents are released from the film corresponding with the lights and shadows of the scene. These impulses are amplified and converted into a visible Image corresponding to that broadcast. With the new tube it would be possible, for example, to televise a hot electric iron or a stove in a dark room. Turkish Slave Ruled As Queen Over Egypt In all of Egypt no woman was so beautiful as Shagru-Durr. Although she was but a Turkish slave girl, the mighty Sultan Salih fell in love at his first glimpse of her and made her his favorite wife. The sultan died, and his son, too; so the slave girl became the queen of Egypt and ruled in a lavish fashion. Like every faithful Moslem, the queen desired to go to Mecca to purify herself and to win peace of soul, writes Walter Monfried in the Milwaukee Journal. One who has made that Journey is called "hadji" and for the rest of his or her life is venerated by all of the faith. She traveled from Cairo to Mecca in a gorgeous litter borne by canlels. With her went a resplendent procession. The trip was long and difficult, but the queen won that full consolation which her faith afforded. In the years that followed, the beautiful Shagru could not go to Mecca again, but she paid her tribute to Islam by sending handsome litters filled with royal gifts. After she died her pious survivors kept up the custom and each year sent a company of pilgrims with presents. The load of gifts was called mahmal, which means something that carries or supports. Treating Fungus Infections Fungus infections of the skin which produce eruptions resistant to ordinary treatments, of which severe cases of athlete's foot are typical, have been caused to subside by an electrical treatment devised by Professor Howard W. Haggard and Drs. Maurice J. Strauss and Leon A. Greenberg, of Yale university. These infections are resistant to treatment because the fungi that cause them become imbedded deep in the skin tissues where fungicides, applied to the skin, cannot reach them. The Yale scientists devise a method of getting copper, as a fungicide, deep into the skin by iontophoresis, or transporting it through the tissues by an electric current. Treatment lasted from two weeks to six weeks, and the average number of treatments was six. The eruptions turn blue, and healing takes place under this surface. Insects Have Thousand Eyes Although we possess only two eyes, each of which co-ordinates with the other so that we see a single image, our eyes see with many millions of individual light-catching cells, called rods and cones, states the Better Vision institute. The retina or image screen, of the human eye is made up of approximately 130,000,000 rods and cones, representing the individual sensitive I nerve fibres, or groups of nerves which carry sight messages to the brain. The human eye has only one lens. The common house-flv, however, sees everything as a mosaic, or jig-saw puzzle, because each of its 8.000 eye units acts as an independent lens, or light-catching apparatus. Thus the fly, ar.d other insects, rcal'y have 'h-usar.ds of eyes. Week-Ends in Jail New Zealand is to adopt the American method of punishing intoxicated motorists with jail sentences served at week-ends. Originally magistrates imposed fines, but when such action did not appear to be meeting the case, terms of imprisonment were imposed. Ordinarily imprisonment, however, meant that the offender lost pay and possibly his position, which imposed a hardship on his wife and children. Under the American system the offender is put in pr.sor. at the week-endonly.
