CHIN'ESE GOVERNOR
BITS AIR CRAFT TO
TERRORIZE SUBJECTS
"Better fifty years of Europe
than a cycle of Cathay," wrote the
poet some decades ago, meaning
thereby that a resident of China
merely existed, bo far as the real
things of the> world were concerned.
Comes now Dr. W. R. Worse, an
iasiruc'or in a Chinese medical col
lege at Szecliuen, West China, 2,
000 miles In the interior of the
groat, Celestial empire and next
to the mysterious Tibetan empire,
who saw his first aeroplane in this
j Chinese city, far back in the hinter
I laud of the empire. Dr. Horse has
I been stationed there six yecrs, and
j wlu-u he left the United States
aeroplanes were few and far apart,
aud none had ever flown within the
range of hia vision. Last summer,
while lecturing to a class, ho heard
a humming drone in the air, and
with the students rushed to the
wiudowc and saw a modern aero
plane, manned by a Chinese aviator,
swooijU£ past and over the school
buildins.
' Two America.*! aeroplanes had
been purchased by the governor of
Szechuen to awe hia 1,000,000 or
niore citizens," said Dr. Morse last
night, at the Frye. "It seems a
quei-r thing that X should get my
first glimpse of this wonder of mod
ern science in a city 2,000 miles in
tho interior of China, and so close
to veiled Tibet that I could see
the snow-capped mountains from
the windows of my house. There
is only one other modern invention
tha' beat the aeroplane there, and
that is the cinematograph. Before
I left China one had been installed
in the city, and I am told it en
joyed excellent patronage."
Dr. .Morse la on his way home
to Providence, R. I., with his wife
and 2-year-old daughter for a
year s furlough. He intends, if he
can get permission from the Ameri
can Baptist Society, by which he is
employed, to go to the front with
the ulliea as a Red Cross surgeon.
Ho tujoys the distinction, of having
given the first lectures in any city
'vest of Shanghai with practical dis
secting demonstrations.
While stationed in China, Dr.
Morse has made a study of Chi
nese medicine and has traced the
development to 2700 B. C., when a
famous emperor, who originated the
practice of medicine in China, re
signed, According to the data
tha» Dr. Morse collected, this per
sonage, Huang Tl, had supernatural
powers so to leara the effects of
drugs and herbs, had a pane in his
stomach, a real pane of transparent
material. He then, swallowed dif
ferent draughts and watched the
1 effect on his own internal economy.
1' The Chinese believe in this story
and I believe that their science of
medicine dates from this period,"
1 he said.—Seattle| Post-Intelligencer.

AUTOMATIC TREATMENT
OP WOUNDS IS SUCCESS
Dr. Pierre Roux, director of the
Pasteur Institute, haa announced to
the French Academy of Sciences
that a remarkable advance in ser
um therapy had been made as the
result of a discovery by I>r. Bass
uet.
By his method it was possible to
cleanse automatically. Dr. Roux
said, wounds which, hitherto had re
sisted treatment.
Dr. Bassuet employs the polyval
ent serum discovered last year by
Dre. Leclainche and Vallee. Dr.
Rjui had 420 wounded men, who
had b.-eu in hospitals from six to
fourteen months, were treated ac
cording to Dr. Bassuet's method.
As a result the infection appeared
to revise in the old wounds, he
said. Abscesses formed and buret
spontaneously, eliminating bits of
bone, splinters, bullets, pieces of
clothing and even drains and silver
threads left in the incisions by
mistake.
After this had happened, Dr.
Roux said, the wounds healed quick
ly .in most cases, and men who had
been lying helpless for rnonUuj were
discharged as cured.
