Another very important point is temper
ance in drinking. In hot weather there is no
question - to the influence alcoholism has in
the production Of sunstroke. More than
hree-fourths of the patients admitted to
Bellevue are under the influence of liquor.
Then. too, q man when drunk is likely to ex-
pose himself recklessly, which added to the
congested condition of the brain, tends toward
runstroke. Men suffer more frequently than
women; not from any inherent difference IN
the sexes as regards the disease, but because
men are more exposed to the exciting canses.
A sunstroke is profound prostration of the
nervous force. which may vary from a slight
vertigo and feeling of lassirude to complete
coma and almost instant death. The modern
m thod Of treatment offers good chances Of
recovery in the great majority Of cases,
while 30 OF 40 years ago. when the disease was
not well understood, or properly treated. the
mortality was very great
Now when a man is brought here We strip
him, place him on bed protected with rubber
blankets ami reduce the temperature as quick
ly as possible. We nse ice bags for the head
and either wrap the patient in wet sheets or
use the cold douche. If he is not suffering
from alcoholism and the pulse is weak. We
give stimulants; a spoonful Of brandy every
hour or half hour, as the symptoms demand.
The higher the temperature, as general
| rule, the more Gelirious the case. although l
have known a man to make a good recovery
with a temperature of | 10 degrees, the normal
temperature being $50 degrees. Sunstroke is
likely to leave its traces in patient of a
weakened and generally rundown condition.

Treatment of SunstrOke.


The house physician At Bellevue Hospital
New York, in speaking to Tribune reporter
of sunstroke. said:
1t takes some days or even weeks of really
hot weather to prepare people, so to speak
for this disease. Before q man can get q
sunstroke he must be more or less exhausted
by prolonged exposure and vigorous bodily
exertion in the direct rays Of the sun, or
weakened by q succession of very hot davs.
Costume 10 an important factor in the causa.
tion Of sunstroke, a. has been so often illus
trated in early Anglo-Indian history. In
Madras parade was held in 1885, during
which more than Is per cent. Of the soldiers
were stricken down, as remembered to this
day. They were called out to attend q funeral
Of some high civil official in the hottest hours
of one Of the warmest days of that season.
Tight uniforms With broad leather belts. to-
gether with heavy felt hemlets, combined to
form about the worst costume for the climate.
There are remembered also many instances
of great loss Of life in prolonged marches.
Now the precautions taken to guard against
sunstroke. together with q better general idea
OF its treatment, have reduced the mortality
very considerably in India a. elsewhere. 1t
is much easier than is generally supposed to
avoid an attack of sunstroke, If one under

Exaggerated Accounts Concerning the
War in Madagascar.
PARIS, July I6.

PARIS, July l6.
In the Chamber of Deputies today, NJ.
Challemet Lacour, minister to foreign affairs,
replying to questions, said he believed there
had been at least an exaggeration in the ac-
counts of the occurrences in Madagascar
He was certain that if Admiral Pierre had
adopted anv measures they had been neces-
sary, and that Admiral Pierre had complied
with orders to avoid offending England. The
news of the occurrences was lacking, he ex-
planned, because the Admiral was unable to
attach a vessel by which to send dispatches
He declared that unexplained events could
not impare the present good relations be-
tween France and England. The utterances
of the British Parliament on this subject had
been moderate and courteous. He added
that if grave error had been committed or
passion manifested, the French government
would not hesitate to fulfill the obligations
imposed by the sense of justice and the in
terests of the country. The minister's re-
marks were received with cheers

boiler was thrown q distance of five or six
hundred feet. The building is a complete

damage to the hay crop. The hay that
was moved and remained in the fields
during the wet weather-of which there
was a large quantity-has suffered very

that part of the crop. The yield of grass

The Ely Mine Troubles.

HANOVER, n. H, July IG.
The Ely Mining Co. has paid one-third OF
the amount due as wages for the months of
May and June. The company, as at presen,
organized, will not resume work and the
mines will probably be idle the balance of the
year if not longer. Governor Barstow was at
Ely last week. Considerable criticism has
been made respection his action in calling
out tho troops during the recent disturbances
and 1t is supposed the object of his visit
was to satisfy himself by personal investiga-
tion that the necessity of interference had
been over-estimated. Before leaving he ex.
pressed himself as feeling perfectly justified
in taking the course he did.

The trade dollar is an anomaly in our
currency which will have to go out of ex-

will be obliged to take the responsibility
and labor Of putting an end to it. and pock-
citing the loss which will be incurred by
the operation. There is no necessity now
such as existed at first for the trade dol
lar. The confusion which it is making is
a good reason why it should speedily be
eliminated from our currency. The COM
