LeprOsy Among the Chinese.

At the meeting of the San Francisco
Medical Society, last evening, says the
Bulletin, DIR. Blach, City Physician, eX-
hibited Il Chinaman afflicted with lep-
rosy. The mans face was hideous in
the extreme, being ridged and furrowed
in every direction.
DR.. Bach read a paper on the case.
The patient was born in one of the low,
marshy regions in China, where lie was
engaged in the business of a merchant
He is married and has three children in
China. The disease revealed itself about
three years ago. He does not think it
is contagious, and says that there is or
dinarily no pain in the tumOrs. His
general health is good.
Loo Chang, a Chinese physician, said
that he had seen the disease in China,
but had not seen much of it here. In
China it is common in low, marShy dis
tricts, and is caused by miasma and
poor food. 1t is durable at first, but not
after it has run for two or three years.
1t is not considered contagious except
in sleeping or eating with the infected
person. The disease assumes no less
than thirty-fve different forms. In some
cases the skin is covered with the bright
scales. This form is thought to be very
contagious.
DIR. Blach found it to be the opinion
of the Chinese that the disease died out
after the first generation. LeprOsy ex-
lists now in Africa, Asia Minor, Hawaiian
Islands, Japan, etc. At one time the
disease assumed a most violent form,
and only declined after the fifteenth or
sixteenth century. The progress of
leprosy is slow, taking many years,
sometimes, before there is any pro-
nounced development. In eleDhGntiastS
QrdecOrqtn tubercuLOSG-the forms of
the disease exhibited by the patient
the skin was thickened and wrinkled,
and sometimes the face presents the ap-
pearance of that of a lion. 1t is the
opinion of many authorities that the
disease is not ordinarily contagious, but
might be communicated to another I'M
der certain circumstances and cOndi-
tions. DR.. Blach thought that in Cali
fornia leprosy might become epidemic
in the low-lying parts of the great val
leys from an Over-crOwding of popula-
ton combined with poor food.
DR.. Stivers said that the Cinnamon in
the cells of the City Prison made the
patient sit by himself in corner, say
ing that if one touches a leper he will
catch the disease.
DIR. Irvas thought that the disease was
contagious, and DR.. Fiske said that the
Chinese in Amador County, where there
is a leper settlement, believe it to be
contagious.

Fatal Panic in q Cireus-Several Per-
SONS Killed and Many Injured.

The London Times of February 5 con-
tains the following from BOulOgne-sur-
Mer, February 4.
Calais is in state of gloomy excite
ment owing to an accident last night,
accompanied by heavy loss of life, and
caused, there is much reason to fear,
from practical joking carried to a fool
ish extent. An Italian circus from Mi
Ian, belonging to Messrs. Priami & Pier
antoni, constructed of wood, and capa-
BILE of accommodating between 5000
and 1000 persons, was erected on the
Grande Place, where the bienniel fair
is being held. Last night it was crowd
ed. Upward of 800 persons were re-
fused admittanCe. Reserve seats face
the entrance; the first class are In the
front rows; the second-claSS are in the
back and in the gallery. During the
whole of the performance a number of
young wOrkmen in the gallery kept
making a noise. Toward the end of the
performance, during the representation
OF the pantomime, lie Medecin de
Champagne" this band of young men
rose from their seats, causing those near
to follow their example. At this mo-
ment an unknown person shouted "Au
ftur causing an Immediate stampede
down the inclined plane on either side
of the circus, serving for the entrance
and exit of the seeond-class. The per-
sons who first reached the bottom of
the staircase, instead of making for the
door by which they entered, attempted to
open an extra door IT served for cases of
emergency. This door opening inward
instead of outward, block Immediately
ensued, people jumping down from the
gallery upon those jOstling below.
MOnvoism; COmmissaire de Police: with
the Conimandant ard other officers;
used their utmost endeavors to calm the
audience. Many Kept their seats; but
others in panic burst open the outer
Enclosure and jumped into the street.
Others again, occupying second places,
broke down the partition dividing them
from the first, and pushed into the front
rows, then into the arena, and so out
through the stables and the stage-dOGr.
Four firemen, always on duty at the sta
bles, one of them a bugler, hearing the
first alarm of fire. and seeing the peO-
pie rushing out, shouted out g Fire
The Waterman at the adjoining belfry
Immediately rang the note of warning,
alarming the town and garrison. The
infantry and artillery were soon on the
spot. Though not needed to extinguish
fire, they did useful service in convey
lag the wounded to the Hotel de Vile.
From a pile of bodies around the doors
were taken nine sorpseS two men, four
boys; one woman, and two girls. A
quarter of an hour later another boy
died. This morning two were found
mor;a ally, three severely, and fourteen
slightly wounded Among the victims
are father and little girl, the father
struggling to save the child; both were
ultimately bruised to death. The doc
tors of the town, including DIR. Hughes,
an Englishman, and the military sur
geons, were up all night. The funeral
of the victims will be next Wednesday,
the expenses to be borne by the towns of
Calais and St. Pierre. The circus will
also give benefit representation for the
victims on Thursday.

The Term Porte.

The term Porte, p" which is used to
denote the administrative government
of the Ottoman Empire, and includes
the Sultan the Grand Vizier, and the
great Council of State, had its origin in
this way: In the famous institutes es-
tablished by the warriOr-Sultan, Ma
homed H., the Turkish body polite was
described by the metaphor OF a stately
tent whose dome rested upon four pill
lars. "The Viziers formed the first pill
lar, the Judges the second, the Treas
urers the third, and the Secretaries the
fourth" The chief seat of government
was figuratiyely named . The Lofty
Gate of the Royal Tent" in allusion to
the practice of earlier times when the
Ottoman rulers sat at the tent door to
administer justice. The Italian trans
lation of this name was g La Porto
Sublima." This phrase was modified
in the English to the " Sublime Porte,
and finally the adjective has been drop
ped, leaving it simply g The Porte"

that is to say, both were fond of gold
lace, snowy uniforms, silver spurs,
floating plumes, splendid saddle trap
pings and thoroughbred horses. Both
always said to their men, "COme on"
never $50 oni" Both were idolized
by their soldiers, and both had the same
fatalistic ideas of the kind of color their
horses had to be to make the riders safe.
