WOMAN AND ~TATTOOINc.
Feminine Interest i'm a Gruesome Maori
Collection on Exhibition in London.

An exhibition of tattooing on view at
the Guildhall Free Museum in London
is attracting much attention. Strange
to say, women are more interested in
1t than men. The collection consists
of examples of ancient Maori %tattooing,
lent by Major General ii. G. Robley.
Perhaps their interest is due to the
fact that ~tattooing is a fad among Eu-
ropean women at present; or il may be
woman's instructive love of the grue-
some that attracts her to such exhib-
its. An English paper. in speaking of
h collection, says this:
Mako as it was called by the
Maoris, was an art practiced by this
race from the earliest ages, its records
being preserved in the embalmed
heads of chieftains, departed relatives,
or persons taken in war. which it was
the custom TO hand down as heirlooms
from n generation to another. The
first embalmed head obtained by Eu-
ropeans was procured by Banks in 177o.
General Robley, h is the author of
a work on Mako, or Maori Tattooing,'
is the possessor of an almost unpar-
alleled collection of these strange relics.
including heads of warriors, ladies. and
even infants, many of them in perfect
condition, though upward of 100 wears
old. The form of the features is re-
tanned, and the marvelously intricate
designs of the ~tattooing are in perfect
preservation. The practice of the art
of mako was a recognized profession
among the Maoris, and was carried
out according to given rules, each
series of lines having a distinctive
name. Sometimes the process was per-
formed by means of identifcations in
the skin, almost resembling carving,
at others IL was more coarsely axe
cuted. One of the heads in General
Robley's collection bears distinct evil
dence of the ouch of two different
hands. One cannot but reflect admir-
ingly on the fortitude of those who vol
unfairly underwent the torture hat
must have been inflicted. The collec-
ton further includes sketches of vari-
Gus fashions in tattooing, and curious
specimens of ancient Moari charms, i'm

SuNSTRokE AND ITS CAUSES.
Have Microbes "a share i'm It?-How Sol
diers should Dress.

From the Medical Record.
Sunstroke, though known since early
times, is even yet not well understood,
The belief that to produce II the body,
and particularly the head. must be OK
posed to the direct rays of the sun, has
long since passed away, n IL Is now
a matter of common knowledge that,
although heal is the principal exciting
cause. there are several other oredis-
posing causes besides heat. Probably
the foremost authorities on surstroXe
are those surgeons in the British army
who live or have lived I'm India, for the
simple reason that they have there the
best opportunities for observing the
disease on "a large scale. Sir Joseph
Fayrer, one of the most eminent Of
these, in his monograph on the subject.
says:
Under the designation of sunstroke,
heatstroke, insulation. thermic fever.
~calentura. heat apoplexy, heat as
phyxia, ictus soils, etc, a variety IF
morbid conditions from the simplest 10
the gravest are included. However
these conditions may be modified by
personal susceptibility, local surround
ings and climatic influences, they are
all essentially due to heat. and are the
result of a direct exposure to the rays
of The sun or to a high atmospheric
temperature I'm the shade"
1t may be said that the foregoing
words express the universal opinion on
the matter, but DIR. l.. Sambon has
quite recently promulgated a new the
DRY as To the cause of thermic fever, in
which the ever active microbe plays
the chief part. According to The dis
tinguished Italian physician. thermic
fever, or siriasis. as he prefers to term
IL, Is not heat fever at all. but a dis
tinct infectious disease. He says:
Il believe heat exhaustion to be noth-
Ing more than syncope and. ~sirlasis. a
specific infectious disease" Again:
The idea that siriasis Is due to excess
sive heat is greatly derived from the
fact that IL occurs during the hottest
season OF the year. but such an argu-
ment is manifestly illogical. Although
siriasis be intimately connected with
the no season. IL exhibits remarkable
endemic characteristics. In one local
lily II is extremely prevalent. in an
other IL is totally absent. though the
region may be quite adjacent and under
precisely similar climatic influences"
On the whole. DIR. Sambon makes
out a strong, IL unconvincing. case for
the germ theory. and at any rate. be he
right or wrong, his opinion must nee
essartly carry great weight. In the
present state of things, however, in

BIG STEEL CONSOLIDATION.
Simply the Evolution of Trade in the
West.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 1.-The Iron
Trade Review, this week, commenting on
the big steel consolidation, says:
1t is product of events in the iron and
steel world rather than an effort to control
events. 1t is a part of the evolution in the
iron industry, rather than an attempt to
bring about a revolution. If it has an ap-
pearance Of fixing for aggression, it is only
on the theory that a war status is the
surest means of preserving peace. When the
Carnegie Steel Company became miners of
ore on large scale and arranged with the
Rockefeller interest for carrying it's ore at
low figure, huctuating only within mar
row limits, the cry of monopoly went up,
but no move ever made In the history Of
iron and steel manufacture was more plain
ly the product of an intensely competitive
regime. The Federal Steel Company is one
OF the latter results of the entrance. of the
carnegie Steel Company upon the Mesaba
and Gogebec ranges An immediate result
was that ore contracts at Chicago were
written with the price clause based on the
mining cost of the Pittsburg Company; and
it was only step for such an arrange
ment to the organic union of the Illinois
Steel Company and the company from
which, because of common stockholders it
made its largest purchases of ore.
me prominence of Standard Oil stock
holders in the new deal has been construed
in some quarters as significant of close
future relations between the two dominant
mining and transportation corporations of
LIZ 'aSSdDeS AolAf,C. Anu IL has DSen only d
step from this inference to the conclusion
that the Standard Oil interest in the Lake
Superior consolidated lines and the Besse-
mer Steamship Company might facilitate an
understanding between the important Pitts
burg customer of the two latter compa MES
and the new company. There is good reason
to doubt the correctness: of any such sur
mise. The indications are that the compe-
tition on. ore between the two leading in
terests of the Mesaba range will be just as
intense as il has ever been.
The plans of the Federal Steel Company
allow for the addition of other interests
whose inclusion would be mutually advan-
tageous. Should there be no outcome OF the
tentative effort toward further absorption
IL is TO be expected that outside moves will
be made bringing other steel works and ore
producers into closer relations. The coming
year bids fair to see some interesting events
of this nature"
