Sunlight and Human Health.
uondon Observerl

LOhuCn observer
For some considerable time past the As
tronomer Royal and his assistant have been
weekly reporting the significant fact that the
recorded sunshine during the seven days
has been, upon an average, nil. Prima facic
it is only photographers who need be affected
by this intelligence. What can it possible
matter to the world at large If there is not
sunshine enough about to discolor piece OF
sensitive paperl AS a matter Of fact, how
ever, the discoloratiOn of sensitiYiZed paper
is but one of the many processes due to the
chemical energy OF the sunlight And
prolonged absence of sunlight is q very
serious matter. It's effects upon health are
direct and perceptble We get no ozone,
and we become dull and lstess, as il we had
been sitting up all night. When thus out
Of tone and below par,we are consequently
deficient in that vital energy which would
otherwise enable us to shake off any ordinary
ailment. Nor is this all. Absence Ct sun
light for any considerable period is almost
invariably followed by epidemic outbreaks.
When the sun is active, filth Of all kinds
purifes as it collects. When there Is no
sunshine the filth collects, accumulGtos in
masses and ferments. These formcnted
accumulations are n source of positive dan
der as soon as the sun resumes its activity
Decomposition under bright sun is com
paratiyely harmless. Slow decomposition in
the dark is especially hostile to health. We
need no chemist to tell US all this; but at
the same time, it is well to bear the
chemistry of common life i'll mind. When
the Astronomer Royal reports total alb
sence Of sunlight we ought to be especially
careful, and, it may be adde d, children
suffer more from the absence OF the SUMS rays
than do adults. Adults have only to keep
alive; children have to keep alive and grow,
which entails a double amount of chemical
work. Now if there be no sunshine, we
can best supplement its absence by exercise.
And yet strange enough, the absence Of
sunshine is regarded by most mothers as q
sufficient ground for keeping children within
doors. 1t is, on the contrary, the very rea-
son they should be sent out and kept out as
much as possible.

mil,lne7ts,

In the year 1900 chimneys were scarcely
known in England; and one only was al
lowed in a religious house, one in q manor
house, and one in the great hall Of castle or
lords house; but in other houses the smoke
found its way out as best it could. The
writers of the fourteenth century seem to
have considered them as the newest inyen-
ton of luxury. In Henry the Eighth's reign
the University of Oxford had no fire allow
ed; for it is mentioned, that after the students
had supped, having no fire in winter, they
were obliged to take good run for half an
hover, to get heat in their feet before re
firing for the night. Hollinshead, in the
reign of Elizabeth, describes the rudoness
of the preceding generation in the arts Of
life: ''There wcre," said he, VERY few
chimneys; even in the capital towns the fire
was laid to the wall, and the smoke issued
out of the door, roof, or window The
houses were walled and plastered over with
clay, and all the furniture and utensils were
of wood.' In 1859 tax Of two sAilings
was laid on chimneys.

To the Editor of the Globe:
The fact is well understood by those who
are in the habit of glancing over the columns
of the Pioneer Press that for some time past
that paper has made itself the special herald
of all that could be cleaned, throughout the
country, which is of a peculiarly insulting
nature concerning woman suffrage by disap-
pointed wire-pullers and defeated politicians
in Wyoming Ter, has been sure to find its
way into its columns; and not only this, but
at regular intervals, and without the slight
est provocation, the managers of the Pioneer
Press have displayed their excessive uneasi-
ness regarding the increasing freedom of
women by filing the whole columns of their
paper with their own ''views'' concerning
the propriety of allowing women to exercise
the right of selfgovernment.
Noticing the almost unprecedented zeal re-
garding this subject, evinced by the young
men connected with this not altogether I'M
worthy journal, l have become somewhat
DESTROYS of ascertaining if there really are
any principles back of the imposing array of
prejudice, assertion and feeble attempts at
wit which frequently makes its appearance
in their columns, and have therefore decid-
ed to announce through the medium of the
various city papers, that if any member of
the Pioneer Press staff wishes, or if all its
members combined wish to discuss the prin-
ciples involved in the woman question I
shall hold myself in readiness to meet them
/ am not unaware of the fact that not a
very long time ago the managers of the Pho
deer Press suddenly decided that the very
best thing to do in in relation to this question
was to ''reduce comment to minimum -
but it does not seem possible that, at the
first blast of adverse criticism, question
which evidently lies so near their hearts can
have been entirely abandoned
If opposition to the enlightenment of
woman is based on anything beside that pc
culiar kind of prejudice which has its found
alton in the animal instincts, let us by all
means hear what it is.
The address of the writer can be obtained
by application at the GLOBE office.
On the subject of salarized Sunday School
superintendents the Sunday School World
says: 'sThe ACCESSIBILITY of paying salary for
a Sunday school superintendent, who would
thus be enabled to devote his time to the SER
vice of the school, has frequently been urged.
The experiment was tried by Congregation
al church i'll New Britain, Conn.,, and met
with good success; the First Congregational
church of Oakland, Cal, has also arranged
to have salaried superintendent. AS
wealth increases, labor is divided, and the
advantage of specialists in all fields of work
is appreciated. 1t seems likely that the
practice of having paid superintendent for
the larger Sunday schools will become quite
common, if not general.n

4 Failed Dog stor,,.

Susan B. Anthony says the meanest thing ever
said about her was in Western paper, just after
q woman suffrage convention in which she took
a prominent part. II was a story about her car
rying poodle-dog TO the convention in her arms,
and holding it in her lap all the time except when
she rose to speak. Il don't own dog, " she
says, land never did. 1 never even spoke TO
one"
This is damaging admission, and q clue
to the sceptical in accounting Tor the nom
success of Miss Anthony's life long agitation
of female suffrage.

THE TRODDEN VIOLET.

A violet in the morning dew,
With sunshine melting in its spheres,
Whose honey all the wild bees knew,
And birds and breezes, happy crew
a violet in the morning dew
Was like her in the early years.
A violet trodden under foot,
Its breath with piercing perfume rife,
The birds and bees and breezes mute,
And only tears about the root
A violet trodden under foot
Was ike her in her later life.
Sweetness past telling did she she'd,
When day By day brought darker dole;
And sorrows with heavy tread
Crushed her and bruised her lovely head
Sweetness past telling did she shed,
As the bruised violet sheds its soul.
So was the spikenard bruised and crushed,
And so the precious ointment Tiled
With odor that about it gushed
As if, within, whole gardens blushed-
So was the spikenard bruised and crushed
That over the Lords feet was spilled.

ADVICE.
TIMELY TOPICS.

THE taxation of church property is attrac-
ting some attention in New York just now.
Bills were recently passed by the legislature
authorizing the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION and st. Francis Monastery each
to hold real estate of the value of $500, 900.
1t having been disclosed that the bills
contained clauses which would exempt their
institutions from taxation, the Assembly re-
called them for amendment. The Brooklyn
EagZe commentingupon this says Earnest and
pious people get benevolence, religion, edu-
cation and the law all so mnddled up in their
brains that they cannot see why concededly
good institution should not be sustained by
the public. They will not reflect upon the
consequences Of sustaining any religious cor
poration or enterprise out of the public treas
ury. They decline to observe that wherever
this is done to any degree the whole theory
of a State church is in effect assented to, and
that when citizens money, gathered into
the public treasury for general purposes is
handed over to a religious body he is logical
ly in precisely the position Of the Irish farm
erwho, some years ago, had to support
religious establishment which he detested.
Instead of recognizing these most obvious
truths, the friends of liberty who protest be-
cause they wish every man to exercise his
full right of conscience, and not even IN
money matters directly or indirectly to be
coerced are denounced as atheists, infidels
and ever so many other disagreeable speci-
mems of human character. The way out of trou-
blethis kind is short and easy, if men can be
brought to realize that it is every mans duty
to help his own church and an outrage for
him to saddle any of its burdens upon citi-
zens who neither attend it nor believe in it.
The way is to stop State aid absolutely to any
and every religious institution and tax all
property, church, hospital, school, no matter
how directed, alike. When this is done ev-
cry citizen will know just how much he is
contributing for education, for the relief of
distress, for the support of his church, if he
has one, and finally for the maintenance of
the Government proper

Mrs. OTTENDoRFER, wife of Oswald Often
dorfer, proprietor of the N Stats Zeitu'g, died
at her residence, in East Seventeenth street,
on the LIST inst. She was a woman of rare
business ability and has long been distin-
guished by her unobtrusive charity. She
came here with her husband, Jacob Uhl,
from Bavaria in 1914, and became a widow
soon after her husband had bought the Stats
ZeitaNag, then small weekly sheet. She as
sumed the chief management of the paper
until 1859, when she married Mr.. Ottendorf
er, one of the editors. The prosperity of the
journal is largely due to her energy and ca
pacity. In 1875 she built the Isabella Home
for Aged Women in Astoria at a cost of over
100000. In 1881 she gave about $50, 900
toward the support of the German Teachers
Seminary in Milwaukee, and to secure the
teaching of German in the public schools.
The following year she built and furnished a
wing of the German Hospital at cost of
about $1,000 calling it the Woman's Pa
wilton. She paid out $3.50, 900 for the Ger
man Dispensary and Free Reading-rooms in
Second avenue, near Ninth street. She also
contributed very literally to other charities,
and was for number of years President of
the German Ladies' Society for the Relief of
Aged Widows. Last year she received a
medal from the Empress of Germany in rec
ognition of her many charities to her coun-
trymen.

IT appears that wherever there is surp-
lus moisture large eucalyptus will prove of
great service and group of them will dis
pose of a vast amount of house sewerage
But where there is water which is not desir-
able to exhaust as in good well, it will be
wise to put the eucalyptus very far away.
The owner of Bay Island Farm, Alameda
county, Cal, recently found curious root
formation of the eucalyptus in the bottom of
his well, about sixteen feet below the surface.
The trees to which the roots belong stand
fifty feet from the well. Two shoots pierced
through the brick wall of the well, and send
ing off millions of flores, formed a dense
mat that completely covered the bottom of
the well. Most of these tibres are no larger
than threads, and are so woven and inter
twisted as to form mat as impenetrable and
strong as though regularly woven in loom.
That mat when first taken out of the well
was water soaked and covered with mud, ana
nearly all that man could lift, but when dry
twas nearly as soft to touch as wool, and
weighed only few ounces This is an eX-
cellent illustration of the way in which the
eucalyptus absorbs moisture, its roots going
so far to find water, pushing themselves
through a brick wall and then developing
enormously after the water is reached. 1t is
thought that one of the causes of the drying
up of wells is the Unsuitable thirst of these
vegetable monsters.

A WRITER in the New York Herald in dis
cussing typhus and typhoid fevers, presents
some interesting facts and valuable informa-
ton, and sensible hints and suggestions,
which all having due regard to sanitary con-
ditions will do well to carefully heed He
says that typhus fever comes from over
crowding or crowd-poisoning. The crowding
of dirty people into tenement houses, the ne
glect of drainage and other sanitary matters
are the leading causes. Typhoid has no re-
lation to typhus fever. Like scarlet fever it
may strikeanywhere, among the lowest as well
as the highest classes. Typhoid frequently
arises from small obstructed underground
drains where decomposition goes on and
there is darkness and want of free ventila-
ton, and where virulent gases are devel-
oped. The germs of the disease may be
taken into the stomach with food or water.
Large cities may be made very healthy pla-
ces and kept free from these pests and scour-
ges by having proper sewerage system, and
by due attention to cleanliness.
