“m flow to Grow Brains. DECOVEBY OF AN AUSTRALIAN DOCTOR AND SOME OF HIS EXPERIMENTS. If the theory of Dr. Kcrby Hopper, - the Australian doctor, that brains can . , le made to grow and strongly devop- - ed tmitol‘ character modified by the ragiylication of electricity is correct, says 1': , l'I:Ei:.dclphia Item, a wonderful and n: w field is opened up to the efforts of] the scientists. Dr. Hopper, it would étt'lll, has treated a number of cases in which he has applied his system of elec- tricity to moderate or develop various humps or celebral nodules whose presence or deficiency is believed by him to be responsible for many human weaknesses ,_., as well as criminal proclivitics. {=1 _ r «4' Out of 106 cases we are told the doc- g-l ' . ‘th succeeded in every instance but one, it}; and the patient in this case was an ab- ‘p origine ol'New Zenlaud, who was found _ “3 upon examination to have no brains at all. Of course, in such a case as this, the doctor might be excused in his fall- ,” nre to develop nodules. In another is": case, about which the doctor does not in say much, he experimented for some ,i' titne with a young person described as .' " Ethelâ€"aged 17,” whose cerebral nod- ? nle took the shape oi'an inordinate pas- sion for the stage and a certain young ,7 actor thereon. After a series of exper- i: imcnts lasting over several months, from which we may be permitted to remark ES that it is surprising that the unfortunate i. young lady came out with any brains at all, her parents were assured that she was entirely cured; that. her lovu fur the stage had been entirely destroyed and that she laughed to utter scorn the idea of marrying a poor actor for love. it will doubtless cause a thrill of joy to the romantically inclined to learn that Ethcl‘s perverse nodule impelled her to - rise from her bed on the first night she came back home, squeeze herself through a scullery window and run off inconti- nently with her lover to a minister, by whom they were immediately married. It was wrong, of course, for the giddy young person to thus set; at defiance the laws of science, but perhaps she was not to blame for it. Love nodules, in whatever brain they are situated, or , whatever clime fostered, do not seem to yield readily to the cold laws of reason or science. It is not known whether Dr. [Iopper has concluded to try more issues with love-sick maidens or not, but prudence should suggest to him the ad- visibility of directing his efforts in other directions. Love nodules have bafiied before greater men than he, and great- er powers than even that of electro-mag- netism. Love has a magnetism of its own, compared to which the doctor’s article is as a painted fire to the reality. 0-. Tuberculosis in Cattle. __ New York state is dealing with tuber- rulosis in cattle. Statistics show that in New York State about 60,000 persons :1 your die of tubercular diseases, and the scientific evidence that a large per- , centagc of the mortality is indirectly due to the use oi milk from diseased cows is overwhelming. The value of the milk used in the State last year was $51,500,000, and it is to be feared much of it was poisonous. The new law provides for the expert; examination ot milch cows. This is the difficult part. of the work of enforcement, as only long training and technical skill can enable one to certainly detect the nil‘cction in the live beast; even on dis- section the use of the microscope is sometimes necessary to aid the expert. lint whether diseased 01' sound the out- tlc destroyed will be paid for, a refer- ence to a court of claims being provided. An appropriation has been made for the purpose of carrying the law into effect, and the result will be watched with in- , trrest. .......â€"....â€".â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"u -.o- _,‘-,#JW â€"- â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" o‘câ€" ‘A plot to kill l’rince Fredinand, ruler , of Bulgaria, has been discovered.

Il‘u building worth $l200 is» insured he say $1000, the Royal Canadian is oblig- ed to pay $1000, it'a loss occurs. In such a case the London Mutual is obliged to puv only two thirds of the cash value, or 881‘": g 2. Nu horse worth $00 is killed in the fields by lightning, the Royal Canadian is obliged to pay $90. The London Mutual pays only $60. 3. Fora cow worth $30 liillcd bv light- ning the Royal Canadian pays $30. The London Mutual pays only $20. For other animals the Royal Canadian pays the full value. The London Mutual pays not more than $5, no matter how valuable the animal may he. ‘ 4. In the Royal Canadian animals urt- insured against lightning while a: posture anywhere. In the London Mutual they urn insured while posturing on the premises of the insured only. 5. When articles are insured specificallv. such as musical instruments, the Roviil Canadian is obliged ‘59 pay the Kill amuimt insnrcd up to the cash value of the asticlc. The London Mutual pays only two third ofthc cash value, no matter what the ill- surnnce may be. 6. When “ ordinary contents ”' 08 out buildings nreinsurcd by the Roan Canadian: ALL implements are included. In the Lon-- don Militia] only one rcnpcr and one mower are included, no matter how good others:- may he. 7. When the outbuildings are not joined" to each other the Royal Canadian insures under one sum the “ ordinary contents" ut 1111 building not cut ofl'hya distance great- er than 40 tt.,tl1c same as if the contents were all under cue roof. The London Elev tnnl requires a Separate sum on the con- tents of each building, if the distance is more than 12 ft. This is a very importnuu difference in many cases. 8. In the'Roynl Cnnndinn it is a. part of the contract that standard srtt/tM 'ruttnsut-zns may be used without a special permit and without any restriction as to the distance front stocks or buildings, caretakers, pails of water, kind of fuel or direction of the wind. Many of the policy holders in the. London Mutual were obliged to run their own risk while threshing last season, he« cause it was found to be impossible to com- ply with the conditious of their permit.‘ When a former pays for insurance he should secure a policy which will hold hint safe when it is most required. 9. The Royal Canadian is obliged to par its losses within sixty days and ustmll'v takes nmch less. The London Mutual need not pay for ninety days, and'fl’siuce it has become sohnrd up as to be obliged to bor~ row money largely, it usually takes about the full time allowed. 10. The Royal Canadian policy is subject to the statutory conditions only. It has none of the numerous vnriutions against the policy-holder printed in red ink on the back of the London Mutual policy. ll. As to security, the inspector of insu- rance reports that the Royal Canadian llill $202,758, the amount he estimates to be necessary to enable the company to cnrrv out all its engagements with its polin holders. Besides this he reports that it liars to the good the $400,000 capital paid in cash by the shareholders, and a net surplus $17,607 making in all a total cash surplus of $517,607 to protect its policy-holders against unexpected contingencies. ln 111l- dition to these cash items it has n subscrib- ed cnpitnl of $100,000 not culled up. lic- gardiug the security of the London Mutual the inspector reports that the amount oi unearned premium it should have on lmud is $200,309. To make up this amount in cash rt second call would have to be made on the premium notes for a large amount. leaving it surplus of only $74,2l8, even if there were no bad debts, and this surplus is made up wholly ol' the uupuid balance of prt mium notes already heavily assesswl. The company reports the losses adjustth but unpaid at the close of the your at $0» 387, but the Inspector of innuruncc iind.‘ that the liability for unpnitl lussesat the end of the your was $20,286. The cash on hand to pay these losses only amounted to $13,911.
