HOW TO RECOGNIZE AND TREAT THEM-THE

From the Philadelphia Times
Generally speaking, the most reliable symp-
toms OF the onset of disease in children are
changes in their disposition, voice. body tenn

symptoms are patent; for instance the we'll

of Illness remain twenty-four hours we may
safely conclude some important organ is in

piratOry organs or the brain.
The doctor who visits a child for the first
time has to bear in mind that he and his patient
are great strangers and that advances on his
part must De made with great care or the object

show whether fever is present or not. BY giving
a drink of water ii will be ascertained whether

A Dangerous Practice.

COMPLAINT ABOUT THE KISSING OF CoRpsEs--
WHAT PHYSICIANS SAY.
From the Philadelphia Times
A clergyman complains that there exists
among the members Of his congregation a Gus
tom of kissing corpses. few days ago he had
two funerals, the cause of death being diph-
iberia, and at each one several children kissed
the corpse.
Doctor Mears, who was asked yesterday what
he Thought of the custom of kissing children
who died from diphtheria, said: 81 regard it a
very dangerous practice and one which cannot
be too strongly reprObated. Diphtheria is a
very contagious disease. There are well-known
instances where surgeons, having placed their
mouth to the wound in cases of tracheotomy in
order to help the patient to breathe, were con-
taIninated with the disease and died from its
effects. During life the processes are very ac-
tive, and there is no doubt that the disease may
be communicated by contact. Some hold that
after death there is not as much danger as in
Lie. While there may be doubt as to the 20
tency of the evil alter death, the practice of
kissing the corpse is a procedure which should
not he permitted"
DR.. George Mcclellan said: "Diphtheria is one
of the most fatal and contagious diseases we
know OF and with which We have to contend
Every precaution ought to be taken to prevent
any such thing as unnecessary contact. The
disease Is peculiarly dreadful among children
and young adults"

The largest refracting telescope In the world
Is now in process of construction in the modest

eminent telescope maker. in Henry street.
Camoridgeport- The two disks of glass go to
form the lens of the great Lick telescope which
will be placed in the observatory on the peak of
Mt Hamilton, bequest OF the California
millionaire, James Lick. These two circular
glasses are valued at SO, 900 each, and If de-
stroyed they could not be duplicated within the
next six months for millions of dollars. The
disks were cast in Paris, the order being given
five years ago, but the failures We're numer-
GUS that they were not received by Messrs.
Clark until last September. When finished the
lens will be thirty-siX inches in diameter. six
inches wider than the one which they recently
completed for the Russian government. Since
receiving the blocks last September Mr.. Clark
and his SONS have been constantly at work
upon them, but they do not expect to have
them completed much before next fall. When
completed the TWO lenses will weigh about 700
pounds. The work OF polishing the disks has
now reached that stage where the removal of u
lew grains more or less from the wrong place
would ruin them The only instrument used is
the hand smeared with rouge, polishing sub
