No Money in the Pole.

You cannot get quotation for the
Aurora BOrealis on the Stock Ex-
change. The interest of the average
newspaper reader in hansen, Jackson.
and the balloon Is mingled with the
suspicion that their renOwn is foreign
to practical affairs There may even
be a misgiving lurking at the back of
this citizens mind that the discovery
Of the pole would increase the educa-
ton rate by stimulating the illicit zeal
of the teachers for the imparting of
useless information. So the Arctic ex-
plorers are regarded by many as inter-
esting but foolhardy persons, who pur-
sue a chimera into uncomfortable re-
gions, and provide little excitement
now and then by returning with horrl-
BILE tales Of privation or by leaving
their bones In some frozen waste to
serve as milestones to their successors.
On the other hand, the man who
reaches this pole will be the most pro-
digious lion of his time, and will set
the popular imagination in such a
blaze that Mr.. Cooks clients will grid
on their sealskins and collect their
potted meats. Then n tickle populace
will weary of the north pole, and will
pine for its neglected opposite in the
south, where the mariner In Poe's tale
WIS carried by the current into the
bowels Of the earth, after committing
his veracious narrative to n BOTTLE

the hall. Ninety sig Of the lamps were
arranged In groups Of four each. with
out globes. aud backed By silver re-
electors for the lighting OF the open
space under the great trusses, while
the remainder were disposed Of under
the galleries. In committee rooms. and
In various parts. OF the building.
On the Thursday night when the
convention was In session until nearly
/ o'clock, the plant was run all night
to give an opportunity for the attend
ants to put the hall In order for the
morning session. The effect produced
by the side group and reflector system
was especially noteworthy. The force
Of the light was directed just where 1t
was needed-on the floor Of the build
ing-where 1t blended into even and
general illumination. The eyes Of the
spectators on the sides of the hall were
protected from the glare by the backs
Of the reflectors, while the lamps were
far enough removed from the central
floor space so that no annoyance was
caused by the light to those In that
portion of the building. The problem
of lighting large interiors satisfactsr-
lily has always been a perplexing one,
but it was solved on this occasion. 1t
was, altogether, a great triumph for
electricity II and men.

The Plague in Honskonp.

European physicians who have had
experience in China during epidemics
have been obliged to combat many
stubborn prejudices of the natives. In
1894 the plague attacked Hongkong
about the. middle of May. From fifty
to 100 deaths occurred daily. From
the first the Chinese strongly objected
to the removal of their sick to Europ-
can hospitals. They did not under
stand the necessity of segregation.
They preferred to die in their unclean
surroundings among friends than to
accept the chance Of a lonely recovery
at a hospital.
The devices to which the Chinese re-
sorted to conceal the SIGH from search
ing parties were many and ingenius.
A system Of house to house visitation
had to be organized to overcome the
dangerous secretiveness of the Chinese.
The efforts of the cleansing and disin-
fecting staff were rendered almost fu-
tile by the dislike of the natives to SAM
tary precautions. The epidemic caused
1850 deaths before 1t ceased in early
September
The necessity of burying the dead in
common graves was n great shock to
the feelings of the natives, and finally
led to open rebellion. Concessions had
to be made to the ignorant and desper-
ate Celestials and the presence Of the
Chinese medical attendants in the Eu-
ropean hospital was permitted. Chi
nese to the number Of 100000 left
HOngkong while the plague was rag
ing. Their demand that their plague
stricken relatives be allowed to ac-
company them was, Of course, not
granted. OF the Chinese patients who
were attacked by the epidemic only 1S
per cent. recovered, while so per cent.
of the Europeans afflicted were re-
stored to health.-New York World.
