The Paris Medical publb>l???s some observations which throw an Impor? tant light on the cases of plague which occurred in Russia some time ago. As tar back as 1907 Dr. Klodnlt/.lhy no? ticed In the Cazarel Island, in the 1 Caspian Sea. t. .-light outbreak of plague. Three w omen were attacked, I snd he was able to establish, after Inquiry, that they had all three been I engaged in handling the carcass of a camel which had died from some un? known cause. Later, in April. 1011. plague appeared in a little place in the district of Kamysch-Samara, Six persons were attacked with plague, and all had eaten of a camel that had died. At the end of September. In the same year, another camel in the dis? trict died, and then an autopsy was made. There were no (dear indica? tions of any Injuries to account for depth, but In the viscera the doctor i found a bacillus Identical with that of Yersln, the cultures of which repro? duced plague in anlm&ll which were j Inoculate d. Toward the end of the same month other human b lugs were ' attacked, and tho outbreak coincided I with tho death of a camel, and tests 1 with the blood produced a typical plague bacillus. Dr Klodnltzlhy has no doubt that th( casei of plague in tho human beings owed their origin I to eating tho flesh r i' plague-stricken I camels,,and he suggest thai the cam 1 ol> In question had been eating hcr b?r:r> which had become Infected by camels sutioring from '.he disease.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure The only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar NO ALUM, m LIME PHOSPHATE NOTHING IS EVER DESTROfED Mattor Changti But Does Not Cease to Exist?Simple Experiment That proves Proposition. Whan a candkr burns it is not de itrayed. VVha'. s^ms like destruction s merely change \ny one can prove this for himselC by a very simple ex? periment. Take a glass :ube i.nd fit a cork into jacb end. Hum* some holes ir. the low ir cork, one them in tho middle arge enough lo hold a candto. Hend i smaller gla*s tube to U sliape, till it with small pieces of caustic soda and j iork on* end. Now connwt the twa cylinders by a - mall glass tube through tLe corks. Insert the car/lie through, .he lower eork and suspend the wholo ipparatuB from one beam of the chenj/* leal balance. Weigh it carefully. Connect the free end of the U tube to an aspirator so ns to establish a uniform current of a\r through the tubev. Remove tbe candle, light it ind instantly reinsert it. Let it burn lowii until entirely consumed. Now reweigh the apparatus. You will find that it actually weighs more than It lid before the candle was burnt! What had happened? The carbon i ind hydrogen of which the candle was composed have been separated, have irawn oxygen from the air and com? bined with It, forming water and car? bon dioxide or carbonic acid gas. The caustic soda has absorbed the carbon j iloxide and made sodium carbonate, ] and has also caught the water. The BXtra weight is simply that of the oxy- | ?en taken out of the air. This is a practical illustration ol the great truth that nothing is ever de? stroyed. Matter changes, but does not 2ea.se to exist. St. Thomas Aquinas taught this in the thirteenth century ?thus as in so many other ways an? ticipating modern scientists?and some of the ancient Greek philoso? phers understood It. -it has only been proved experimentally lu recent years Love 1b the purification of the heart from itself; it strengthens and en? nobles the character, gives a higher motive and a nobb r t. ::i to every ac? tion of life, and makes both man and woman strong, noble, a. d courageous; and the power to love truly and devot? edly is the noblest gift with which a human being can be endowed; but it is a sacred fire that must not be burnt to idols.

The first recorded kiss was the> treacherous one given by Jacob to his father Isaac, when tbe former was masquerading es Esau. It is the first in a series of deceitful kisses record? ed in history. There is a famous kiss in the "Beggar's Opera." It was given by Macheath to Jenny Diver, and the unpleasant effect which it produced on him may bo judged from the sar? castic remark. "One may know by your kiss that your gin is excellent." Petruchio gave bis bride a kiss of enormous caliber. We are told that he "kist her lips with such a clam? orous smack that at the parting all tbe church echoed." Poluics and Friendship "Have you decided how ycu are go? ing to vote?"
