seeds, plants and scions to any point

conservative about the introduction of
any ot the species of catfish into waters
which themselves contain or are tribu
taries to'st reams that contain better
fish. The catfish is a great spawn

another, the electric current would be

in vinegar for two niiiuit-ts before
being applied to the head. In operat

RACES OF DWARFS.
Heto aad Comment on tho Subjaet by A.
It Qaairofaeoa.
A. De Quatrefages has recently pub
lished an historical review ot the an
cient swid modern reports on dwarfish
tribes. While formerly the description
of ancient geographers were considered
not trustworthy, many of them have -been
confirmed by recent explorations.
Among these are the tales of the pyg
mies. Aristotle and Pliny state that a
dwarfish people lived iear the swamps
of the upper part of the Nile. De Quat
ref sizes considers this tribe identical
with Schwelnfurth's Akka, who at the
present time live a little further soutli.
Fomponius Mela mentions dwarfs who
inhabited the neighborhood of the lied
Sea. This report was confirmed by
Leon des Avancher's discovery of the
dwarfish Wa Berikomo, Who are said
to be only four and one-half feet high,
and by D'Abbadie's visit to the Marc
Mollea, who live a little further to the
north.
Herodotus tells of a dwarfish black
people on the banks of the Niger. Ill
description of the land still holds good;
but. Instead of negroes, Berbers and
Tuareg Inhabit those regions. At the
present time the most northern place
in West Africa which is Inhabited by
dwarfs is Tenda Maje, whore they were
met with by Mollien In 1818.
- Pliny mentions, besides the dwarfs on
the sources of the Nile, others living in
what Is now southeastern Belutcbistan,
where the Brahui. a people of Dravida
lineage, are found. Ktesias speaks of
pygmies who inhabited Central India.
Mr. Rousselet found in that region the
dwarfish Bandra Lok, who live in the
Vindhias Mountains.
De Quatrefages considers all Asiastic
dwarfish tribes as one group, which he
calls Negrito, while the African ones

from Ceylon throughout India, Farther
Inia. the Philippines, to Japan. In most
regions they are mixed with other races
He considers the Dravida one of the
most characteristic results of this mix
ture. It is only on the Andaman
Islands and a few other isolated points
that the pure race is still in existence.
The author shows that individuals ot
Negrito type occur among the Pariahs
of India, and that isolated communities
in many parts of southeastern Asia
have retained the anthropological char
acter of this dwarfish race.
De Quatrefages considers the Negrito
ot all these widely separated regions
one race, which originated lu southern
Asia. When the yellow race migrated
southward and the white race eastward,
they were compelled to take-refuge on s
the islands and to migrate to more
southerly countries. Thus they popu
lated the Eastern Archipelago and
crossed to Africa. Science. 0
CANCEROUS GROWTHS.
Ifurtwnn of
Coo
tho Priori ool Tartetios o
Mr of tko Throat,
There are four recognized varieties ol
cancer epithelioma, encephaloid (like
brain substance), colloid (like glue),
and scirrhua. the two first named being
the ouiy ones found in this location,
and they are mostly of the epithelioma
variety. Mackenzie found ' only six
encephaloid growths out of fifty-tbres
cases of cancer and Ziemsaen only
nine out ot sixty-six.
The symptoms of both varieties, ex- -
cept as they appear when viewed by
means of a laryngoscope, are the same.
The first sign of disease noticed il
usually huskiness or weakening of th
voice. At first this is transient, but it
finally becomes permanent, It has
been noticed as long as three years be
fore the more serious symptoms de
veloped. The voice is never entirely
lost, as it is in tuberculosis of the
larynx, and the patient by a violent
effort can make himself heard, even in
the advanced stages of the disease.
The hoarseness depends, early in the
affection, upon an implification ol
one of the nerves concerned in
the management of the vocal cords.
At a late period it is due
to ulceration and the presence
of so-called "buds and vegetation" Cp-sir,
on the inside of the organ. T he breath
ing gradually and surely becomes em
barrassed. This is due to the increas-, '
sag size oi wis grow in. ana to ine oc
currence of oedema under the mucous
membrane, which still further narrows
the breathing space. At first there is
difficult breathing on exertion only,
then there comes a time when it is a
labor to breathe at all, and the face be
comes more or less blue from defective
aeration of the blood. Attacks of spasm
of the glottis and of suffocation are apt
to come on, especially at night. The
voice and breathing may be improved
greatly (unfortunately this is only tem
porary) by extraction of portions of the
growth. The act of swallowing be
comes interfered with earlier or later,
according to the sizo and location of the
growth. If it begin high up. the inter
ference is early; if it begin in the vocal
cords or below them, it is long before
swallowing becomes difficult or out ol
thejquestion. As ulceration progresses.
wallowing becomes more difficult, both
from obstruction and from pain, and
pieces of lood are liable to be thrown
into the air passages. In this way a
fatal result may be brought about.
