Sunstroke Infectious,

DR.. l.. Sambon, who is considered by
The British Medical and Surgical Jour
nal an authority on such matters, says
that sunstroke Is infectious and is pro-
duced by specific germ.
DIR. Sambon's theory is that sunstroko
as germ disease requires great heat for
its development, but is not directly caused
by heat. He maintains that sunstroke Is
unknown In many of the hottest parts of
the world, nor in the temperate areas is it
prevalent In the warmest years or in the
hottest season of the year.
Dr. Sambon concludes, from carefully
verified facts, that the geographical dis
tribution, the endelnicity, the occurrence
Of epidemics, the characters of tho synp-
toms, the very definite LESSONS, the liabil-
itY to relapse and other points in tho nat
ural history Of the disease arc strong
arguments for regarding siriasis as be-
longing to tho same category as yellow
fever, denguo and certain other tropical
affections universally acknowledged to de-
pend on specific germs--germs for whose
growth and transmission to man and from
man to man high atmospheric tempera-
ture is necessary, but which, though o.
curing In, are certainly not created by,
high atmospheric temperature.

Nautical Finger Posts for Use in
/ War Time.
A very ingenious electric buoy has
been devised for use in navigable chan
nels which may be sunk at will in a
few minutes II, for any reason, 1t is
desired to obliterate all finger posts
Of navigation as, for instance, on tho
appearance of hostile feet. The
buoy consists Of the usual metallic case
attached by cable to an anchor and
carrying ircandescent lamps on its up
per part for lighting the channel at
night. A small polyphase induction
motor in the buoy is coupled to a CEN
trifugal pump, which fills or empties.
the buoy according to the direction Of
its motion. This pump, as described
In L'Eclairage Electrique, has a very
large clearance, SO that IL it is operated
after the buoy is discharged of water
1t will not create partial vacuum in
the case and cause the water to again
enter and sink the buoy when the
motor stops. The motor is in a cham
Der partitioned of from the rest OF the
case 90 that 1t is not liable to be wetted
BY the submergence Of the machine.
BY using a three-phase circuit, two Of
the wires can be used at all times to
carry current for lighting the lamps.
Such a buoy might be used for SUBJ
marine mines and be sunk to the bot
.om Of the channel when necessary for
he passage Of ones own fleet.

: Spectacles for horses have been pat
ented by an inventor, and are being
used with considerable success. Their
object is not so much to magnify OBJ
jects as to make the ground in front Of
the horse appear nearer to his head
than 1t really is. The result is con-
tinual high stepping. which, after a
while, becomes natural, and gives to a
horse an aristocratic gait, which he
will retain for many years.
