Delightful Remedy for Those
With Imaginary Ills
PRACTICED BY THE ANCIENTS
Not New, but Very Much Older Than
Civilization
kucky hit by New York Doctor-ls Called
Genius by His Fashionable Women
Patients

NEW YORK, May 22.-The fashion
able physician who has to cope with the
eccentricities of imaginary invalids has
hit upon a new cure for the supposed
ills of body and mind. 1t Is the music
cure. A year or two ago the color cure
was in full swing, and 1t Is being used to
some extent now with patients afflicted
with nervous disorders In the color
cure the patient lives in room where
everything is Of the same shade-pale
blue, pink, old rose, a golden yellow or
some other soft choir. The windows are
fitted with glass of the prevailing col
or, and the room Is always situated
where the sun will stream through the
colored glass at all hours in the day..
1t Is supposed to have a soothing ef-
feet upon the mind, and in not a few
cases has proven successful Some
physicians were so caught with the idea
that they introduced these colored
rooms in asylums for the insane, but
in this use they have not been the cause
of much improvement.
The music cure, while new thing to
the present generation, is older than
civilization. 1t requires only a search
through the books of the ancients to
find frequent reference to it's curative
powers, and 1t seems that the physi-
clans and scientists Of those days were
in the habit of prescribing 1t for tsair
patients. OF course 1t Is only applicable
to mild forms of certain troubles, main
ly those of a nervous character.

Good may result from this. Mr.. Bondur-
ant makes two recommendations
that the suitability of soil and climate
of particular districts for the different
classes Of tobacco should be carefully as
certained, because what would suit the
soil and climate of one district would not
suit another. He further recommends
that small experimental stations be es-
tablished in different parts of the col
ony for the purpose of making tests
with the different varieties, and when 1t
Is ascertained which thrives the best in
that district and gives the best results,
there would be more likelihood of grow
ers being able to realize a profit from it's
cultivation. He also suggests that, If
crown lands cannot be obtained for the
experiment. holders of land in the dis
tricts might find it to their advantage to
give a small site for the purpose. His
second suggestion that at these sta
tions there should be model curing sheds
erected, where object lessons could be
given to tobacco industry" The Bonn
bay Gazette urges the systematic i'm
provement Of the tobacco cultivation in
India. and adds: Tobacco cultivation
in India might be materially improved
and rendered more profitable were the
agricultural department temporarily to
employ an expert, who would point out
the defects in the present systems of cul-
tivation and manufacture. Private own
ers, we know, have engaged German
supervisors In their factories but they
have been manufacturers rather thar
cultivators, and the defects of the Indian
cheroot lie in the leaf and not in the
manner in which it is rolled. Indian
cigar makers have deft fingers and turn
out shapely, well-finished cigar. The
material they have to work with is not
as good as it might be-"

A VALUABLE ARCTIC MAP
F0rty.elght Expeditions Are Indicated and
Tracka of SexenfY.Six Partlea


The most interesting and comprehen-
sive publication issued from the navy
department for long time is that map
of Arctic regions published by the naval
photographic office. The chart is in two
sections and represents the latest sur
veys and explorations within the Arc
tic circle. 1t has taken an immense
amount of labor to prepare the present
map, which is one of the finest speci-
mems of lithographing work ever accom-
plished by the government.
Each exploration of the long line Of
broken coast is represented by various
colors and symbols, and some idea Of
the complexity of this feature may be
obtained by the fact that no less than
forty-eight expeditions are indicated,
in addition to the tracks of seventy-six
parties. The earliest exploration noted
is that of the Russian Ovtzuin, in 1734-7,
and of his countrymen. Muraviev and
Pavlov, in 1875, all Of whom traversed
sections of the Russians Siberian coast
and adjacent bodies, since very familiar
to Polar navigators.- The prevailing
shade on the American section of the
Arctic regions is that of the British ex-
plorers, the most persistent and indus
trious of them being Parry, who from
1919 to 1924 pursued the coast line arouId
what has since become known as Mel

the southern coast of North Devon.

The Chinese Emperor on Railways

The London Times says: 1.-THE text Of
the edict of the emperor of China res
specting the construction of railways in
that country has now reached London.
The emperor begins by stating that he
has read the memorial of the ministry Of
war recommending the appointment of
q high officer to take charge of the con-
struction of railways. The latter, the
emperor observes, are most important
for the maintenance of trade as we'll
as for the employment of the masses of
the people. Hence he has decided to en-
courage railways in every way. Recent
ly he instructed the princes and ministers
to commence with q line in the neighbOr-
hood Of the capital, and they put the work
of surveying a route between Peking
and Tientsin under the care of Hu, a pro-
vincial Judge. Hu's report has also been
read blythe emperor, and from this 1t ap-
pears that the line, starting from Tient-
sin, would take the route of the western
banks of the Grand canal, and passing
northwards, would cross the southern
parks and terminate at the Lukon bidge.
in the western suburbs of Peking, trav-
erSing a distance of about eighty miles,
The estimate for the construction Is
2,400,000 taels. The plans too, have been
prepared, whereupon the emperor OBJ
serves that in all new matters which re-
quire a beginning 1t is difficult to fore
tell the result but that in appointing
responsible officer to take charge of the
construction of the proposed line 1t is
important he should have full conf
dence in the man. AS HUI was the first
to recommend the undertaking, and has
been in charge of the survey, it is only
fair that he should have a chance Of
carrying it out, and accordingly he is
appointed director general of railway
construction. The board of revenue and

necessary funds. With reference to the
grand trunk line from Peking to Han
kau, the emperor says that as the dis
tance is great and the cost immense, he
grants the privilege of constructing it
to wealthy men in various provinces
who can show capital of 10 00O, 600 taels
or more. AS this line will, therefore,
be purely commercial affair, govern
ment officials are ordered not to inter-
fere with the gains or losses Of the COM
pany, and the promoters are promised
tokens of imperial appreciation IL they
are successful. The edict is addressed
not only to people in the capital, the pro-
vinces and other dependencies of the
empire, but also to our people laboring
in other lands"

ined to invite a few of her most intimate
friends to listen to the music of the
harpist. These friends were greatly i'm
pressed by the spectacle.
ITS so dreadfully touching, my dear"
one would say.
You bear UP wonderfully well. And
such a strange illness, too" another
would remark.
Il am so glad you asked me to come.
L had never realized how the nerves
were soothed by the music of harp. I
think, my dear, your physician must
really be genius. 1t Is perfectly WON
derful!"
When the Lenten season closed the
afflicted one was completely cured, and
the fame of her physician had increased
tenfold. Unfortunately the revival rf
social pleasures, and the necessity Of
preparing for the spring trip to Europe
for the purchase Of summer finery, inter-
fersd with the plans of other nerve
stricken women to take the music cure,
but at the first lull in the social world
they can be counted upon to take advan-
tage Of the opportunity 1t affords.
LAST CENTURY MD. IS TRIED 1T.
The physicians Of century ago gave
much thought and study to the efficacy
or music when applied to victims of
certain diseases. One writer on the SUBJ
ject says:
Mr.. Buretti, an eminent physician
who made the music of the ancients his
particular study, was of the opinion that
music has the power of affecting the
whole nervous system, so as to give
temporary relief in certain diseases; and
Jacques Bonnet, in his Historic de la
Musique Q725) tells us how on one occa-
sion he was entertained by a friend then
in the service of the Prince of Orange,
with the performance of three first-rate
musicians, who were constantly en-
ployed by tn eprince to keep him free
from melancholy. The same remedy, it
may be remembered, was used by Philip
V. Of Spain when, as the result of be-
reavement, he fell into a state of mel
ancholia. The queen got Farinella to
sing regularly to him, and as a result
his health was very soon restored. More
over, Ferdinand VI. inherited
the same melancholia and was also
cured in a like manner Apropos
Of all this, old Burton, when he penned
his Anatomy of Melancholy, was not
likely to forget music as a potent rem
edy for that too impracticable malady;
but he also cites the relief afforded by 1t
In the hands of the physician to many
fanatic persons and tells how Clintas
ecl Empedocles cured some desper-
ately melancholy and some mad, by the
same means. 1t Is with him a sovereign
remedy and one that will drive away
the devil himself. This driving away
the devil, by the way, was Especial OBJ
ject of ambition with Luther, and 1t
is curious to find that he also recon-
