DOCTORS on the CONGO.
Five Of Them Employed 10 Look After the
Health Of the Railroad Builders.

PARIS, Nov. lU-When the Society of the
Upp0r Congo began the building of its
railroad it employed for the work about $50
white men and some thousands of natives.
1t determined to take the utmost precautions
TO guard its employees from the trying elm
ate and, therefore, organized a medical
service embracing staff of five physicians
and surgeons. \ commodi0us hospital
bnillng was erected at Matadi and all the
white men were compelled to regulate their
daily habits in accordance with rules pre-
scribcd by this medical board.
At first the physicians had great deal to
do. for they not only had the care of the
sick. but they took it upon themselves to
see that the buildings erected to shelter the
white men were built on sanitary principles
and were as comfortable as they could be
made. They also saw that the camps Of
the workmen. which as the work advanced
from week to week were established little
greater distance from Matadi, were erected
under the best hygienic conditions.
The doctors found that the water of the
Congo river brecded malarial troubles. and
they soon decided to use only water flowing
down from the mountains for drinking pur-
poses. They also prohibited the use of any
drinking water that had not been boiled.
The results of these precautions have
even surpassed expectations. The health
of the go white men at and near Matadi is
fairly good, while the number of deaths is
far less in proportion than it was among the
whites on the Congo few years ago. The
native workmen also have been kept in
good condition, and one of the doctors is
always in attendance upon the working par
ties to care for any one who is suddenly
taken i'll or to render prompt service if ac-
cidcnts occur.

TO PROTECT OUR WAR SHIPS.
Cocoa Fibre Blankets which Close Up ar
Orifce Made by an Enemy's Shot.

san FH,xcJsco, Call. Nov. l0.-The
manufacture of a new substance, II all That
is an,icipated of its application in defensive
naval warfare is attained, will add largely
To the effectiveness of the new vessels about
to be added 10 the navy of the nited
States. The new substance has been named
cocoa celulose, and is product OF the
outcr fabric of the eocoanut, fibre and
she'll, treated scientifically, which produces
an article which renders an ironclai almost
irnpervious to the influx of water if struck
by shot from an antagonist.
The ccllulose upon contact with water
Immediately expands and closes the oritce
made by the shot.
The discovery was made by French
scientists and sold TO the United States two
wears ago. A recent experiment made by
the government, when a two-inch ball was
driven through a plate representing the
outer shell of the Charleston, for instance.
backed by two feet of cocoa cellulose, and
into tank of water, showed that not u
single drop of moisture escaped. The hole
was instantly and automatically closed by
the expansion of the cellulose from con-
tact with the water.
No vessels have as yet been fitted with
this defense, owing to the fact thM none
have been completed since the time when
the United States government secured pos
session of the right to its use.
The Olympia will be the first one to be
fitted for the application, and important
notifications have been made in the origi-
nal plan of the vessel.
Around the entire circumference of the
Olympia, and resting on the inclined pro-
tectiyc deck tank, 2l9 feet by feet in
height, is being constructed into which the
cellulosc will be compressed. This will
bring the blanket about onehalf below and
above the water line, ana protect the most
vulnerable parts of the vessel.
