removed to Swinburne island yesterday
shows spirilla of Asiatic cholera. Two
more cases showing choleraic symptoms
were removed to the island today.
At 8 p. m. Health Officer Jenkins
issued this bulletin: At 4 p. m. three

more were taken to the same place. The

Georgis Cordias. aged 35, native
Of Greece. The others are Domen-
leo Ell Cioppo. aged IL years, and
Antonio Pierimi, aged 81 years, both
Italians. All showed characteristic
symptoms of cholera. The bacterio-
logical examination of the cases re-
moved today has not been completed
vet. A census of the hospital shows
10 patients, one of whom is convalesc-
ing. In three OF the 10 the diagnosis OF
cholera has been biologically confirmed.
All were we'll on the Karamania. Thus
far all the cases have developed within
the period of incubation after. the re-
moval of the passengers from the
steamer.
The Massalia was discharged from
quarantine today, her passengers hav-
ino hean 10 davs ont from Naplee with

brief conference with the president over

Tho Khedive Again Rebels Against

CAIRO, Aug. 1.-The return of the
khedive from visit to the sultan at
Constantinople has been marked by
further tension in the political situation,
and cabinet crisis is now on. The
knedive has had quarrel with Prime
Minister Riaz Pacha, who owes his posi- l.
tion to English influence, and wants a
ministry in accord with his own policy,
which ia we'll known to be pro-French.
The situation between the khedive and
his official advisers has now resulted in
another crisis that will probably again

Tho Weight Of Crowds.


The load which is produced by dense
crowd of persons Is generally taken at 80
to 100 pounds per square foot and is con-
sidered to be the greatest uniformly dis
tributed load for which floor need be
proportioned. That this value may be
largely exceeded in an actual crowd was
pointed out by Professor W. @. Kernot
of the Melbourne university, Australia,
in paper before the Victorian Institute
of Engineers. In an actual trial a class
Of students averaging 1885 pounds each
in weight were crowded In lobby con-
tanning 1 1928 square feet, making an av-
erage floor load of 134.7 pounds. There
was still room to have placed another
man, which would have brought up the
loading to 1881 pounds per square foot.
Professor Kernot also quoted from
Stoney, who placed SO Irish laborers
averaging 1853 pounds each in weight in
an empty ship deckhouse measuring 81
square feet floor area. This was load
Of 147.4 pounds per square foot In an
other test, with "a laborers crowded into
hut o feet by feet 8 inches, Stoney
produced load Of 143 pounds per
square foot and estimated that two or
three more men could have been squeezed
in. 1t appears from these experiments
that while the figures ordinarily assumed
of so to 100 pounds are sufficiently cor
rect for spaces on which there is no
cause to induce the collection OF great
crowds, larger figures, say 14O to l5O
pounds per square foot. should be used
for railway stations and platforms, en-.
frances and exits to places of public as
semblies or of office buildings, bridge
sidewalks. pavements over vaults and
other places where dense crowds are
likely to gather. er.-Engineering News.

A Salt Lake In Africa.

The French government has just sold
to Mr.. Chefneux the right to refine and
export salt from Lake Assal, one of the
most remarkable sheets of water in the
world. The lake is in the district Of
Obock, East Africa, only a few miles
from tho head of the bay of Tadjoorah
The gentleman who has purchased tho
concession agrees to pay into the colonial
office the sum of $4,000 n year, and if,
during the SO years that he is to have
the exclusive right to export salt from
Lake Assal. the annual product exceeds
1000 tons he is to pay a tax of 20 cents
for every ton in excess. The government
will designate a part of the lake where
the natives may secure all the salt they
want without tax or hindrance. All
along the edge of this little lake, which
comprises only 10 square miles, is a bed
of nearly pure salt about "a foot in thick
ness.
The water of the lake is so surcharged
with salt that it is impossible to sink in
it. The bottom is apparently u bed Of
solid salt. The heavy waters lave the
bases of Jagged and PERCEPTIONS noun
tains which descend to the edge Of the
lake, making it almost impossible to
travel around it. Mr.. Chefneux will
probably carry on his work by floating
machinery on the lake and dredging in
the salt bed ut its bottom, though on the
west side of the lake an enormous guam
tity of salt is in sight when the lake is ut
its lowest level.-New York Sun.
