G0R6AS' WJUMK RECALLED In Former Days Time of Transit Across Atlantic Was Long Enough to Allow all Casss of Fever on Board to Kill or Cure. Panama.--The two Portuguese aviators flying across the Atlantic from Africa to South America brings to mind a prophetic warning of the late General Gorgas. This was to the effect that when quick transportation between tropical Africa and tropical America should develop, as it eventually would, it would greatly increase the danger of the spread of yellow fever to the Eastern Hemisphere as long as the disease remained in South America, especially in Brazil. Days of the 8iave Trade. The reason why yellow fever did not spread from America to Africa in the days of the slave trade, .as malaria did spread from Africa to America then, iilutrates beautifully an important difference between the two great tropical plagues, as well as gives point and pertinence to General Gorgas' warning. Yellow fever kills nr cures in a very short time; malaria may linger in the system for a very long time. In • former days the time of transit across the Atlantic was long enough to allow all cases of yellow fever on board a ship to die or to re* cover before the voyage ended. Recovery conferred immunity on the fortunete, and if a mosquito should bite them after they reached Africa they found no germs in them to transmit to others. So it required a very quick transit to get the infection across. It is not yet positively certain that yellow fever ever did cross the ocean. General Gorgas was on his way to the west coast of Africa to settle this question definitely when he died in London. But malaria, which seems to have originated in Africa, does not confer Immunity npon those who recover from an attack. The gerftts may survive in the system of the sufferer for months, or even for years, in a more or less dormant state, even if acute attacks do not again develop, and these germs may infect the anopheles or malaria-carrying mosquitoes, and so enable them to infect others. In this way the African slaves brought malaria to America with them, but the slave traders did not carry back yellow fever with them to Africa--at least it is not definitely known that they did--and the long time of transit was unfavorable to any considerable transportation of the infection. It is certain that Africa has not suffered from the imported American plague of ""MM {roan But •11 This, lastly change4 is crossed two or three days any member of the crew of an airplane having an infection of yellow fever may easily carry: the disease to where the mosquitoes are waiting to do their part on both sides of the Atlantic. Yellow fever does not reveal itself immediately after a man is bitten by an Infected mosquito. The only safety would lie hi a strict quarantine at the port of arrival In Africa or Europe, the crew and passengers all being detained under watch until the period of Inoculation has passed. The other remedy is to clean up South America of yellow fever, as General Gorgas so strongly urged, -», - •' 111 ' 1 IM II.. " Gunpowder Engines.

A. Jaggar, director of the Volcano observatory, at the anntfal meeting of the Volcano Research association here.

The first boring would be sunk to a depth of 200 or 800 feet in the center of the crater, with the others at 50 to 100 feet deep, depending upon the nature of the resultant discoveries. Most of these borings will be made at the source of old lava flows. The meeting, commemorative of the tenth anniversary of the founding of the research association, decided that the borings should not be made until subscriptions totaling $8,000 had been obtained to defray the expenses. Of this rum $7,000 already has been donated. •Doctor Jaggar also recommended the construction of a practicable pack trail to the summit of Mauna Loa, 14,000 feet above sea level. Kilauea Is situated 4,000 feet above sea level, on the slopes of Mauna Loa. Doctor Jaggar said that he expected a summit outbreak of Mauna Loa, In the crater of Mokuaweoweo, next year, or In the year 1924, as nine years will have lapsed then since Mauna Loa's last activity. Wants House for Scientists. He also urged the construction of a house at the summit in order that scientists might be quartered there In "anticipation of this outbreak, as no- Ibody has been known to have witnessed the first stages of one of Maun£ Loa's activities. Previously attention has always been attracted to the outbreak at the summit by the reflection In the clouds above of the glow of the boiling flre fountains which had risen through the summit crater. The board of directors indorsed this suggestion. Doctor Jaggar's report reviewed the work of the research station cn the brink of Kilauea volcano and the activities of the association.

"ANGEL" WILL BUY A VILLAGE SwwIWi Red Cross Nurse Seeks "H Rehabilitate War Wreck*. Aristocratic Girl Gathers German Refugees From Wastes of 8lberia--Has Iprsady Repatriated Thousands f of War Prisoners. Stockholm,--A refuge of rest and physical rehabilitation where the human wrecks of German war prisoners from Russia and Siberia may be treated and salvaged is being purchased by Miss Elsa Brandstrom, known throughout central Europe and Russia as "the angel of Siberia." ' Miss Brandstrom is negotiating for a village in southern Germany which she proposes to turn into a human reclamation camp for the derelicts that once marched proudly under HIndenburg and other Teutonic military leaders against the Russians and were captured and sail to Siberian concentration camps. They remained in Siberia till long after the world war was over, and there are still thousands of them left, free to return home If they could. But they have neither the means nor the physical strength to do so. Miss Brandstrom is a young Swedish Red Cross nurse, the daughter of the late Gen. Edward Brandstrom, for many years Swedish minister to Russia under the czar's regime. Leaving her comfortable home in Stockholm and the aristocratic social set in which she had been brought up, she led a small Red Cross expedition into western Siberia and has succeeded in repatriating thousands of German and Austrian war prisoners. But she found that when the former soldiers reached their homes they were unable to assume their former pieces in society." Tbey were wrecks. So she has collected a considerable fund and hopes to purchase a village and have It iready for occupancy this autumn. As to the war prisoners still wandering about Russia and Siberia, many of them never will be found, and none of them will ever be able to get back without outside aid. Miss Brandstrom proposes to continue rounding up these waifs and bringing them to her haven of rest. Wooden Leg as Flask. Spartanburg, 8.

MADE WISE CHOICE OF WIFE John Brown's Helpmate Apparently Ideal Woman for a Man of Hia Stern Disposition. tf'ohn Brown, whose body later en lay "a-moMertng in the grave,** once described the lady who afterwards became his wife as a "remarkably plain but neat, industrious and economical girl." These latter virtues seem i<v have atoned for her want of physical charm, for He and Dianthe Lusk were married when she was nineteen and he was only twenty. Dianthe was a strong-minded woman, but she made John an excellent wife, and their twelve years of married life--terminated by her early death--were most happy. He was * man of decided and violent dlspos^ tlon, and his wife Is said to have possessed the faculty of getting him to do as she wished and causing htm to believe that It was his Idea all along. She died in 1832, twelve years after their marriage and just after thy bjrth • i ; ; of their seventh child.
