Hln doctor-admiral, Surgeon General Rlxey, had come along with a startling story about (he Increase of cigarette smok ing In the navy since tho Spanish war. And now John O. Capers, who looks after our mutual uncle's Inter nal revenue has come to bat with fig ures which make the old gentleman stare. He discovers that since the fis cal year 1899, which conies within the Spanish war period, the people of the I nited Slates have almost doubled IF FJ earth.

As 5,402, 336,113 of these cigarettes went up In smoke In this country last year that makes a total of 1,463,132,697 feet, or 258,169 miles of cigarettes. The average cigarette weighs 17 , grains. The total weight, therefore, of these cigarettes would be 11,958, 296 pounds, or 5979 tons. It would require nearly 200 freight cars to carry them. The London Lancet, the greatest medical Journal in the world, said recently than an ounce of cigarettes yields In Its smoke two pints of pois onous carbon-monoxide gas. Accord ing to this estimate the cigarettes smoked In the United States in the United States In the year Just closed yielded 23.916.592 pints of this gas, a vast cloud of poisoned smoke over hanging this country. These figures are furnished by the Internal revenue department of the United States and are therefore cor rect The government keeps careful track of all rigarttes made In this country and Imported. I!ut Uncle Sam keeps no record of the cigarettes rolled by hand. He knows full well that these figures tell only part of the story. Along with the enormous Increase In the con sumption of machine-mude cigarettes wild ready-made in the shops, has tome the longing for the personally made and personally smoked paper pipe. Wherever you go you will find the fellow with "the makings." And If his supply of the little slips of rice paper or of the cigarette tobacco In Its little bag has become exhausted you will find him busily hunting for more, ami unhappy until he gets It. Of t ;ese personally made cigarettes Unci" Sam has no record. Hut he knows that their use Is growing, per. hope even faster than the use of the manufactured kind, for they are thea p. T.ie great Increase In the use of cigarettes In this country Is alarm ing the medical experts of the army mi I navy. 1 In SMiiie respects cigarettes I n badly slandered. The testimony of tli' experts Is unanimous that they are ii t t "doped." In spite of the (hinges f many wo have fought the cigarette business. Upon this point Internal revenue officers are particu larly emphatic, and they ought to know. The law requires that all to bacco manufacturers shall make peri odically a sworn statement of the ma terials which tiny have on hand, and the revenue agents have ample means of assuring themselves of the accuracy of those statements. The manufac turers frequently Include harmless flavoring materials on their lists, and rlod was marked by a steady devel opment of that hanker which only the cigarette gratifies. The absolute triumph of the cigar ette Is demonstrated by its forward stride during the year of tight money. It went ahead, while a lother tobac co products fell behind. The total domestic production and consumption of smoking tobacco fell off 5,000,000 pounds from 1907, and even snuff fell off approximately 1,000,000 pounds. While the use of cigarettes has almost doubled during tho last 10 years, the consumption of smoking tobacco has advanced from 237,132,710 pounds In 1899 to 364,109,395 pounds In 1908; of snuff, from 14,627.106 pounds In 1899 to 22,547.762 In 1908. and of ci gars from 5,077.287,824 In 1899 to 7.914.111,079 In 1908.

HOW TO READ METERS THAT CHANGES LIGHT. rendletonlans who have wondered h ng at the manner In which a record oT the electricity used In their house hold was made will be Interested In 'the Inflation into the mysteries of ' meter reailinir nn.l 'tiw.t as explained by the following state ment from the manufacturers of those little machines. Of all the mechanical arrange ments ever Introduced In the home Hie recoedng wattmeter Is the most mystifying. Although this little de vice decides on the amount of the monthly electric light bill Its ways are so dark and mysterious that the oidinary layman cannot even read It, let alone tell how It works. After" all. It Is a very simple de vice, consisting essentially of a tiny motor which actuates the dial point ers by means of a train of gears. The motor Is In circuit with the lamps and revolves at a speed proportionate w ith the current being used. It only one lamp Is turned on the motor re volves very slow ly. Increasing In speed with every additional lamp. Or if a number of lamps are In use and one have Is turned off the motor diminishes in speed and will continue to do so for every lamp that Is extinguished. T.he reading of u meter is as simple as Its construction and any user of electric current can read his own meter and check his electric light bills by following a few simple direc tions. Electricity Is measured by the kilowatt hour or by the watt-hour, .me kilowatt being equvalent to one thousand watts. Hist. Note carefully the unit In which the dials read.

Dr. Louise O. Kablnovltch, well known In New York, and Dr. V. Mag nan are preparing another step In their series of discoveries In electric sleep, says a Paris dispatch.. Experi ments have been conducted on rab bits und dogs and will be made soon on human beings and patients in the Insane hospital at Saint Anne In Par is, Dr. Rablnovltch has been con ducting her experiments In hopes of finding a means of doing away en tirely with the usual anaesthetics, eth er and chloroform, and so far has been successful. The city of Paris early In the sum-1 mer fitted a laboratory for the hos pital of Saint Anne and there she has put a. patient to sleep by electricity without performing an operation. She also In several cases has used elec tricity as a local anaesthetic on part of an urm or leg and performed a slight operation. Her Intention now, in which she Is encouraged by the veteran Dr. Magnan, Is to perform a serious operation on a man under the Influence of electric sleep. This will be the first time this has been done anywhere In the world. Tells of Her Experiments. Dr. Rablnovltch hus made some re markable discoveries while working In her laboratory and finds no difficulty in instilling life In animals which have died on the operating table. The Im mense value of this discovery to phy sicians when their patients die as a result of an anesthetic can be seen at once, (die dog playing about the laboratory, the doctor said, had been dead three times. "While under the Influence of elec tric sleep I killed her Instantly," she said, "with chloroform. The heart stopped beating and respiration ceas ed. If the anlul had been left alone then It would have remained dead, but I immediately Instituted artificial respiration by means of electricity a perfectly straight line reached breathe of Its own accord. Again after I had killed the dog and resuscitated It hemorrhage set in caused by the operation and the dog bled to death. I brought It back to life again." The animal present was perfectly healthy. While It was In the labora tory the doctor put the rabbit under the Influence of the electric sleep In a comparatively short time. When the rabbit came out from under the influence it hopped away contentedly. for In all her experiments on animals the doctor has kept records which show H e tracings of the animal's res piration and the heart action through out the experience. At a point where a perfectly stroight lino reached the tracings the animal was dead. A little further on regular curved lines show artificial respiration and still further irregular lines show the ani mal commenced to breathe again. The doctor is confident all her ex periments can be put Into practice on human beings. When an animal un der the Influence of the current reacts to no stimulus and when the current is turned off the awakening is instan taneous, and there Is no after sick ness nor stupor. Dr. Inland's statement that Insanity never is caused by love stirred up several other prominent physicians In Paris to discuss the question. Dr. Vallon, one of the famous alienists The Most Beautiful Homes Built Today, Are Being Made of Concrete Blocks.

AMERICAN'S TO BUILD OPERA HOUSE IX PARIS Centanlnl, secretary to Gattl-Casaz-zan, manager of the Metropolitan op era house, arrived with Mme Centan lnl on La Lorraine yesterday. He has had a troublous time in rounding up his chorus troublous as the mana ger himself has had In clinching the contracts of the stars for the Metro-, politan. Just as he was about to said Cen tanlnl learned that 23 of his song sters had backed out, and he had to hustle and beat up 25 more. He said he was driven crazy by the anxiety and bother. Oattl-Casannl sails on next Saturday for New Tork. Oentaninl announced that Paris was to have the finest opera house In the world. American capital Is to be the factor in building It. It will be known ns the Theater Champs Elysees. . It will face upon two fine avenues, Ga briel and Matlgnon, and also the Champs Elysees. Among the American millionaires back of It, Centanlnl says, are J. P. Morgan, William K. Vanderbilt, sr., James Hasten Hyde, who Is now a res ident of Paris; James Stillman and Otto Kahn. European millions will also aid In Its building. According to Gatti-Cas-azza's secretary, the Rothchilds and the Stearns of Paris, are the princi pal projectors. It was the Roth childs who drew the American patrons of music Into the scheme. The ground Is to be broken In a few weeks. The site Is donated by the city of Paris. The new home of the muse will be devoted exclusively to music and be open the year round. For Sale. The C. E. Fell residence, corner Rush and Washington streets. A modern cottage and a good bargain.

It Is seldom thnt a cigarette smoker Is found who does not inhale more or less; It Is seldom that a cigar or pipe smoker can bo found who habitually Inhales nt all. The smoke from a pipe or average ci gar Is too strong for any lungs ex cept those made of leather. This View Is reflected somewhat In the re cent report of Surgeon General Rlx cy, who talks about cigarette smok ing In connection with tuberculosis. The belief Is that cigarette smoke, penetrating deep, weakens the lungs nnd paves the way for tuberculosis and other diseases of the lungs and throat. SMinlsh War to Illume.

"I don't wish to displease Hriand, with whom I've worked for some years, bdt his aphorism that love nev er leads to madness appears to me ex aggerated. There nre some people many In fact and I could cite nu merous examples, who, following the death of a person loved, plunged into despondency, loss of appetite nnd sleep, and soon became mad. This is the history of all violent passions and love is a violent passion par excel lence, "Dr. Hriand spoke of predisposition. The same causes In different Individ uals naturally do not produce the same effects, but this Is true not only In mental sickness, but in all other sickness.
