Great Intelligence Displayed by Our Dumb Friends. A party of Johns Hopkins stu dents were talking about "immu nity" last night. One of them re marked that a dog's saliva has a perfect bactericidal aud healing Dower and suggested that perhaps It would make a good anticeptie, although it seeuied that no bacteri ologist had caught the hint con tained in the simple process of a dog's licking a sore, a process seen every da v. This idea was discussed general ly The voting man who first mentioned it took down a pile of old magazines and after a diligent search produced a pajier by Doctor George M. Gould. Here is a part of it: "When we commence olwerva tion of the origin of medical dis covery aud treatment we are struck by the fact that 'our brothers the animals' were first in learning not a little of medical art. It has been noticed that birds often show a true surgical iiv.inct. M. Tatio on several occasions has killed wood cock that were when shot con valescing from wounds previous!) received, and in every instance found the old injury ucatlv dressed with down plucked from the stems of feathers and skillfully arranged over the wound, evidently by the beak of the birds. "In some instances a solid plas ter was thus formed and iu others ligatures had been applied to wounded or broken limbs. Ten times iu his experience he has found birds whose limbs had been broken by shot with the fractured ends neatly approximated aud liti gated together—a statement that is vouched for by no less a natural ist thau Fulbert Dumontell. HKKS WILL SKKK ASTKINGKNTS. "Doctor JauieS ' says that when bees are attacked with diar rhoea they at once begin to suck astringent pieces of the poplar, wild cherry or hickory aud rapidly cure themselves. Theii instinct carries them so far that in winter if they should happeu to be afflicted with diarrhoea they will steadily drink a decoction of wild cherry if it is placed in the hive. Moreover, they seem to know that filth is a source of disease. "Doctor Weir further lielieves that many of the higher animals have discovered aud use a materia medica that should be recognized by human physicians. For in stance, dogs will seek out and de vour the long blades of couch grass (triticuui repens) when they are constipated; horses and mules will eat clay when they have 'scours'; cattle with eczema have been seen to plaster hoof and joint with tuud. He speaks of seeing a cow break thin ice ou a pond and treat her itchiug joint to a mud poultrice. Cats will go miles when they are 'under the weather' for a dose of catnip. CORATIVK HOW Kit S OF SALIVA. "The saliva of animals seems to have a distinct curative action. Dogs, cats, cattle, rodents, mon keys, all lick their wounds when they can get at them, and soou ef fect cures. Weir also tells of a large dog faced monkey who scratched his shoulder badly on a projecting nail in his cage. He immediately west to a corner and seized a handful of clear sawdust, pressed it on the bleeding scratch. In a few moments the bleeding ceased and the blood dried, leaving a coating under which the healing was prompt. "Rev. Egerton R. Young, a mis sionary iu northwestern Canada, shows us that the surgical instincts of the dog may become so far de veloped as to produce a real sur geon doctor. One of his dogs spontaneously took up this work and bscanie so expert that the In dians called him Mu.sk eke Atim, the surgeon. Galls, wounds, frozen feet, etc., in the other dogs were successfully and systematically treated by 'Doctor' Rover. The wounds or sores that could not be reached by the dog's own tongue ose mUxynzt: WILLIAMSTON, N. C., FRIDAY, JULY 11. 1905. did not heal. The fact shows that, in a state of health ami with pure food, the dog's saliva has a perfect bactericidal, aud healing power. Perhaps it would tualce an ideal antiseptic. No bacteriologist has caught the hint. —Baltimore News. Give the Boys a Chance. Patrick A. Collins, mayor of Boston for a number of yeah* past, lielieves that a boy's word is worth listening to. Recently complaint was made to him that a saloon Was located too near a certain public school. The poljticians and others inter ested in keeping tlie place open, urged him not to iuteferc with the resort. The school authorities de sired it closed or removed. After the mayor had listened to the arguments from both sides, he said: "Well, I'm going to let the boys tell me what they thiuk of the place. Send me," he said to the principal of the school, "half adoz en of your brightest boys. I'll listen to them." The next day half a do/.en of the boys ranging trom ten to fifteen years of age, called oil the mayor. Each boy gave soiue reason why he believed the saloon ought to be taken away, until it came to the last one, a youngster of twelve. He looked the mayor sqttarelv in the eye and gave as his reason: "My school gives me a chance to be mayor of Boston some day; the saloon can't. I thiuk us boys ought to have all the show we can get to be mayor. Thats all I know about it." The mayor threw himself back in his chair and laughed heartily : then staighteuiug up he said to the last spokesman: .. 'My boy you have said more than did all the politicians am: teachers. You shall have the show to be mayor. That saloon will have to quit business at ouce." * The boys gave the major a heart} cheer, and marched out.of his office. They had conquered, IriTd were con sequently happy and triumphant. —Congregational Work. The Four Plants. An old teacher was once taking a walk through a forest with a scholar by his side. The old maij suddenly stopped and (Knitted to four plants close at hand. The first was just beginning to jtee] above the ground, the second had rooted itself pretty well into tin earth, the third w»s a small shrub while the fourth ami last was a full sized tree. The tutor said to his youug companion: "Pull up the first." The boy easily pulled it up with his fingers. "Now pull up the second," The youth obeyed, but not so easily. "And now the third." The boy had to put forth all lib strcngth and use I Kith arms before lie succceeded in uprooting it. 'And now," said the master, try your hand on the fourth." Bu\ low! the trunk of the tall tree, grasped in the arms of the youth hardly shook its leaves. "This, my son, is just what haj - pens with our bad habits and pa: - sions.

Thov kre in accord with well known and unalterable laws of nature. The principal methods u.,ed are selection and crossing. Nature is using these same pro cesses every day. The liees aud the wind carry the (Milieu of out/ flower to fertilize another, thus bringing about the crossing of species. The struggle for exist ence, ami a thousand circumstances of growth ami development, tend to weed out lithe unlit among the plants, leaving the best to survive. This is selec tion. But where nature's oper ations are largely left to chance* and accident, Mr. Burbank gives them intelligent direction, aud his results are sure and immediate. He takes two plants whose life habits, structure, and environment may have lieen wholly different, lie bri lgs them together, implant ing the pollen of one upon the stiguia of the other. As a result the species are thrown into a state of perturbation—set to "wabbling" as it were. The life tendencies arc broken up by the shock. The plants resulting from the crossing may resemble one or the other 01 the parent plants. These are not important. Some of the plants will combine the best qualities ol the parents. From these unproved varieties of fruits aud tlowers are produced. Souic of the plants will lie different fioni either |iareut — perhaps unlike my other plant in existence.

Iu another experiment, a flower from Australia may IK used. He brings a cactus from Jeutral Aniei lCH tc cross with a qiccies from Ari/ona. Having crossed his species, he plauts the seeds. From the result; ing seedlings lie elects the singli plant, or the two or three at most, which lie Cuds best suited for his purpose. The seeds of these art again planted au 1 the work of tin selection goes on. It was from a 1 ltd of 75,01x1 plants that he select ed the one from which his white ulacklierrv was developed. Tht seeds accumulate by a rapid pro gression. Iu a few seasons there is au immense quantity of them. All are planted, lie does not be lieve ill dealing with a few exam ples.

The devoloptncut of wirelesss telegraphy has lifted into world wide prominence the name of Dr. Lee De Forest, who, at the age o! 32, has taken rank as America's leading worker in the remarkable art of transmitting telegraphic mes sages without wires The system invented by him, which is distinct in numerous ways from that of Marconi, is in operation at wireless stations at New York, New Haven, Cape Hatteras, Charlcstowu and several other points ou the Atlan tic coast. The United States navy has given his company contracts for the establishment of stations at Pensocola, Key West, Panama, Porto Rico and Cuba. Several lines of coastwise steamers have recently lieen equipped with his apparatus. The system has been established by the United States signal corps between Cajie Nona and St. Michaels, in Alaska, where the tee and Uqiography of the country render wires impossible. Less thau ten years ago Dr. De Forest was a freshman at Yale, be ginning his studies iu the scientific school in 1896. He was born at Council Bhtffs, lowa, in 1873, where his father was a pastor. While still in knickerbockers lie began to devote much of his time to electrical experiments. His chief boyhood interest was to ar range batteries, aud with these to run toy motors and telegraphic in struments. He equip|ied his room with electric lights and liells. To qualify for the degree of doctot of philosophy in his third year in tlie scientific school at Yale, lit wrote a thesis 011 Hertzian waves. These being the medium of wire less communication, his attention was iu this way turned to practical telegraphy without wires, with which Marconi had lieguu experi menting. De Forest developed his system along inde|>endeiit lines. He is a tireless worker. "En thusiasm and hard work are the secrets of whatever I have achiev ed," he said. "No one recognizes the inherent limitations of wire less telegraphy more than one who has wrested with the tremendous difficulties of its development. The path of experiment has lieen de vious aud filled with stublxiru oh stacles. But I trust I am con servative when I say that there is a great future that attends this young art."—Success.

Experiment of German Surgeons. The German medical world is excitedly talking of some ex[>eri uients made by Drs. Dcncke and Adam* of Hamburg. A murder ess was guillotined at 802 «. ni.; lier blood to the extent ol two quarts was collected and at. once detibri uated. At 8.12 her chest was cut open and weak contractions and twitchings of the heart were notice able; at 8.15 the heart was removed from the body ami passed through a weak solution of muriatic acid, to clear it of all fluids and under the organ absolutely dead and nerveless. It was then treated with what is known to physicians as Lockeslie solution and immediately well-reg ulated movements began to be per ceptible. At 8,32 the heart was supplied with the delibrinated blood mixed with another solution and slightly heated; immediately it began powerful beats, and two hours after the woman was behead ed the heart was vibrating in lively if weak fashiou. Hut little by lit tle its contractions became weaker, aud at 11.34 it was incapable of further action. For three hours therefore, action had been kept up. If the heart, say Dcncke and Adam, why uot the brain? And if the brain can be influenced after death then speech may be produced. All is possible.—Selected. "Hello, Sweetheart." We were riding 011 a trolley car as we sometimes do, for recreation and pleasure, and to see the growth and expansion of Durham. It was near the noon hour when tile car slowed up near a vine cov ered cottage and the motormau's I wife ran out with a basket of diiii tier for her husband. As she ap proached thy car the motorinan greeted her with 'llellosweetheart.' lier pleasure was evidenced by a smile and a hastily thrown kiss over her shoulder as she tripped back to the porch. The sunshine of this incident j>ervaded the whole car, aud even the staidest passengers smiled their approval. We venture the prophesy, there is a liappv home aud that motor man has the choicest bits that can l>e prepared by dainty hands. We can almost hear the little wife's heart singing for joy all day long, just for that cheery "Ilello, sweet heart!" Hut you say, what has all this to do with new ideas? Oh we don't know. We have seen and heard so much of the other kind of greet ing that the practice of this method might be a new idea to some of us. May all of us who have wives try the "Ilello, sweetheart" method and see if the world —our world at least -is not the brighter for* it. — Durham Sun.
