An important invention has been
made. It is one that kills grass and
wwds by electricity. The . method has
been adopted by one of the Illinois Cen-
tral lines to destroy the grass and weeds
upon its roadbed. An electric brush
fixed at the bottom of n tint car did the
business. The grass killing train trav-
eled about five miles an hour. the elec-
tric brush being at tho front. Five miles
of weeds killed in an hour is not bad
business. Why could not the machine
be adapted to the needs of the market
gardener and farmer? It can. Perhaps
in the not far off future the rurallst
will sit in the shade and work a trolley
wire that shall pass a little machine
hack and forth, destroying every wood
between the roWS in his onion beds and
cabbage patch.

Belief That Devils Are the Cause of the
Bodily Ailments“ and Mortality of Men.
fiypnoiism Copied From [Incivllieed
Tribes-Dr. Bamle’ Investig-tione.
There exists a closer analogy between
the medical practice of the aborigines and
that of the cultured nations of the present
llsy than is generally supposed. What
their medicine men assigned as the causes
of ailments, of chronic and epidemic dis—
eases, may appear ridiculous to civilized
people and may be ascribed to superstition
altogether, but the thorough student will
see much in their primitive hocus poem
that forms the basis of modern pathologic-
al deductions. Nor was their knowledge
of the human anatomy as defective as
might be expected, and in many in-
stances the remedies nppllcd have not
been surpassed b modern pharmacy.
Dr. Mux Burto s of the Berlin board of
health has completed on cxlmustivo trca<
tise on the medical practices of the aborig-
ines. nvolumo which is being welcomed
with delight on the continent by all friends
of history and more especially by pro-
found sclcntists. Dr. ilartols has systonp
atizod the aboriginal practices and finds
ucloso relation to the methods of rural
doctors in runny countries todny. Tho sav-
ages hnvo conjurors, bone setters, herb and
medicine men who drive nwnyovil spirits,
like the Cnpucinc monks in the mini dis-
tricts of Germany. These primitive prac-
titioners know how to ndminlster herbs
with excellent. medical properties in con-
nection with their uvornwiug necrmnnncy,
and they understood the cold nud hut war
tor and the sweat bath cure as well as the
“wise doctrossos” of today.
A'closo scrutiny of the logical basis of
these curative nnd protective tactics, n
systematic and scientific investigation of
the medical and surgical inunlpulutions
of the wild men of Asia, Africa and
America, will show remarkable thornpctr
tic results, a coarse application in runny
tribes of the healing methods of modern
message and hypnotism and cases of the
most dlfiicuit and hazardous surgical opcr-
ntions, the only diflcreuw being that the
knowledge of the aborigines was not rc-
duccd to a science.
The nborigines in their mtlology ascrilwd
most of their runllulies to (lemons. What
matters it, however, whether the devil or
“devils" am blamed for tho ailments and
mortality of men? The day certainly will
come when science WI" be able to trace
every illness to which the Adnmic moo is
subject to the poison which an infernal,
God antagonizing power was permitted to
infuse into creation and the creature. It
is already demonstrating that healing and
metomtivo means for every nilincnt were
left on earth for man to seek nnd make
use of, and also that not until divlno rove—
latlon coins to men (amid the existing
remedies be judiciously npplled nnd scion-
tlilmlly clnssillmi. 'I‘hu conception that
devils Were the cause of sickness was
therefore only vrronmus in so for us these
beings were niutorlnlizvd. Mnrtln Luther,
who must be cn‘dltcd with being the
founder of tho. religious cmnnvlpution of
iumiorn times. asserts that “inistllouco,
fevers nnd other lnulndlcs uni undoubtedly

the devil, " ntnl nearly all the thmloginns
of the following countries ninlntnim-d the
same doctrine, adding. that entou’eqmwor
is limltml under divine pmvldenoc, and
that the evil thus pvrmittcd because of
innn’s sin and full is turned into in Hill in
