through slight malarlal attacks during infancy or youth. But as there Is nat urally produced immunity it must be possible, he says, to produce an artifi- cial one. The essential step In combat ing the disease is for the patient to leave immediately the malarla-infected district, and be protected against mos quito bites by prophylactic doses of quinine Dr. Koch believes that through his studies of malarial disease in the localities where its most intense and virulent forms prevail the way has been opened to new lines of study, and new limits set to the dangers of the disease itself. ITO overcome this malady is equivalent to the peaceful conquest of the most beautiful portions of the globe," he says.
 It has long been suspected that the mosquito has much to do with the spread of malaria. pr. Koch's support of this idea is important.

THOROUGH RECORDS.

Judging from the reports that have come from Cuba, the War department hasn't yet succeeded in getting all it's work done thoroughly and promptly, but it is attending to at least one mat ter which wasn't completely attended to during the civil war. The pensioners of this war will have fuller and more accurate records behind them than some of the pensioners now on the list. It is said that in future pension appli- cations will be decided on the strength of the records now making, and with prehensive and involve great labor and responsibility on the part of the medi- cal officers. Thus the report of sick and wounded starts with the register number of the patient gives his name, rank, birthplace, description, color of eyes, hair, length of service, cause of admission, whether from injury or dis ease incurred in line of duty, and his final disposition. It is made in tripli cate, one copy for the surgeon general, one for the chief surgeon of the corps and one for the hospital or regiment. It is subject to correction If any error is discovered, and every correction is forwarded to the War department
 The importance of such records is suggested by the estimate of medical officers that many millions of dollars have been paid in pensions to men who served in the Civil war, but are not properly entitled to pensions. In these instances the records being confessedly imperfect outside evi@nce has been ac- cepted to show that the disability com plained of was incurred in the service and in the line of duty.

SOME sENsrB1E CUBANs.

It appears that whatever Cubans in Cuba may think, the Cubans of the Cu- ban 1unta in this country approve of the United States. They told the Unit ed States so in Washington yesterday, and they further assured the United States that nothing was further from their desires than rupture with the United States forces and authority.
 This is appreciative and sensible, and 1t is to be hoped that it represents the real and influential Cuban opinion. It would be a fine state of affairs if we should have to fight the Cubans and the Spaniards too in order to free Cuba. Barring the wounds and death it would be altogether too much like comic op- era. The Cubans in Cuba who have been making themselves ridiculous and troublesome will do well to listen to the Cubans in the United States, who seem to be able to see straight.

this, but even working in shallow wa ter most men suffer very severely at first, and emerge from their diving suit with raclSing head and bleeding from the nose and ears. In truth, every time he descends the diver takes his life in his hand, for anything going wrong with tho air supplying gear would place him in a very hopeless position.
 The diving apparatus in use in our navy is a costly affair." The method of it's working is simple. A long coil of tubing supplies the diver with oxygen and by means of coil of rope attach ed to his person he can signal by pulls to the surface, and be raised when the work is done. To descend, the diver has, of course, to be heavily weighted. The weights carried on breast and back weigh some eighty pounds, while the heavy leather boots with their leaden soles weigh another twenty pounds. The weight of the helmet, which is ingeniously fitted with valves to allow the vitiated air to escape, is | no less than forty pounds, and to this must be added the weight of the rub Der dress itself, and the weight of the heavy underclothing worn by the diver. | He is not prepossessing sight, this monster with the huge headdress and the glaring eyes, but his usefulness is mmeasurable-From the Philadelphia Times.

HAPPY SPANTIRDS.

If Mark Tapley were alive he wouldn't be in 1t with some of the Spaniards. They can come out stronger than he could. For instance, Senor Sagasta and General Correa declare that the latest news from the Philippines is of the most favorable character. And General Blanco telegraphs to Madrid that the greatest enthusiasm prevails in Havana.
 Probably Captain General Augustin of the Philippines has seen the United States troops that have reached there, and perhaps he has also seen the Mon- terey, which should be there by this time. These sights have encouraged him, and being as unable to repress his joyful emotions as a certain lofty Span iard was when he heard from Manila about three months ago he has hasten ed to encourage Senor Sagasta and General Correa. Also probably the great enthusiasm in Havana is based on the news from Santiago and the preparations which the United States is making to take Porto Rico.
 Happy Spaniards. When Manila has fallen and Porto Rico has been taken they will probably be still more encour- aged, feel greater enthusiasm, and buy several pesetas' worth of fireworks to celebrate the joyful news.

THE LATEST ON M4IARTA.

What is malaria? Dr. Koch, the great bacteriologist, has been studying mala- ria, and has something to say about 1t which is interesting and will perhaps hold until some other student puts forth a more plausible theory. Dr. Koch takes as serious a view of mala- ria as those who have it do. It is, he says, the most serious of all obstacles encountered by northern races attempt ing to colonize the tropics, and real success will never be attained until it has been vanquished. The malady,in va rious degrees of severity, exists in all parts of the world, hnd its exciting cause is always parasite in the hu- man blood. The alternate rise and fall of the patients temperature corre- spends exactly with the changing num- ination of the blood the progress and stage of the disease can be definitely ascertained. He has further succeeded in demonstrating the exact moment for the effective administration of quinine, which does not kill the microbe, but definitely checks and limits its power of reproduction. This discovery was high ly important, for as result of it the physician can. with reasonable certain ty, provide that the disease shall be cured and not run to a fatal result. Just as there is no locality exempt from malaria, so there is no race immune to it. Negroes living on the coasts of tropical countries are practically SO
 but negroes of the same race from mountainous districts coming to the coast are susceptible to the fever. The former have, according to the opinion of pr. Koch, acquired immunity

on the blazer order, fastening at the waist line, the edges rounding away. It's deep revers and high collar were fancifully trimmed with white wash braid and soutache. A white pique waistcoat was worn underneath and fastened with two rows of red bone buttons. A pleated linen chemisette and white satin bow gave neck finish.
 The girl who rides horse was never so comfortable as to costume as now, for the old-time stiff riding habit is done away with. The skirt, of course, must be cut with reference to the horse, should hang perfectly square at the hem and show only the toe of one foot. Low shoes and dark stockings are worn and the skirt is secured to the toe to prevent it's flying. The bodice is a short waist, sometimes with a jacket of ordinary tailor pattern out side. A soft stock is admissa ble-in- deed, is usual. The waist is belted comfortably. Boomers are worn, and sometimes long trousers, but not usu- ally for summer
 Mohair is an innovation in material and makes delightful habit, shedding dust and heat. All colors are worn ex- cept the bright ones, linen color or gray being especially popular A few of the rather advanced equestriennes have appeared in tailor skirt, shirt waist and pink hunting coat thus following English get-ups. The effect is very pretty, and is likely to be generally adapted by those who follow fads. An effort is being made to revive the long skirt for horseback, but graceful and becoming as 1t was, the best horse women, who are sure to set the fash ions, will realize how unsafe it is and so keep it from being generally adopted again. The campaign hat with Sweep ing plumes is worn with charming ef- feet. FLORETTE,

 THE DIVERS ON WARSHTPS.
A Very Necessary Adjunct to the
 Modern Man-of War.

A Very Necessary Adjunct to the
 Modern Man-of
 If Paul Jones in ghostly guise wan ders around the warships of our new navy he must see many surprising ac- cessories to the fighting and working forces as organized in his day. One novel and necessary addition to the crew of the warship of the present time is the submarine diver. The inn portance of this individual to the well fare of a warship has been amply shown during the recent operations against the Spanish fleets. Speed has been the most important point in the manoeuvring durng the opening events of the war, and this has rendered it necessary for our ships to be in the best possible trim for fast work, as, owing to the lack of drydocks to en- able us to clean the foul bottoms of our vessels when they come off long voy- age, it has been necessary to send div CTS down to do the work as best they could
 It has been done well, but it has been the best kind of substitute that could be found for the proper article lle llIe uINGES dlG ublC Ollly lD scrape away the barnacles and sea- weed and even then they are so handi- capped by the heaviness and unhandi- ness of their dress that 1t is impossible to do the work in any but a clumsy and incomplete way.
 But, good or bad, the divers has be- come necessary part of the ship s crew. Many warships carry one or more trained divers. He must be pos sessed of an exceptionally strong con- stitution, and, above all without the slightes tendency to any heart weak ness.
 Every foot the diver descends, the greater, of course, becomes the press ure, and at the deepest descent made, namely 200 feet the pressure is as much as eighty eight pounds to the square inch. It is, however, only rarely that it is necessary to go to such depths as
