ernments Of Great Britain,

sented the following:
"The undersigned representa-
tives of Germany, Austro-Hun-
gary, France, Great Britain,
Italy and Russia, duly authorized
III their behalf. address in the
name of their respective govern
ments a pressing appeal to the
feelings of humanity and modera-
tion Of the president and Ameri-
can people, in their existing diff

earnestly hope that further ne
gotiatiOns will lead to an agree
ment which, while securing the
maintenance of peace, will afford
all the necessary guarantees for
the re-eStabliShment of order in

American nation"
Mckinley replied "The gov

cognizes the good will which has
prompted the friendly communi-

Cuba may Be the maintenance of
peace between the United States
and Spain, by atfording the nee
essary guarantees for the re-es-
tabliShment of order in that is
land, and SO terminating the
chronic condition of disturbance
there, which SO deeply INJURIES the
interests and menaces the tran
quillity of the American nation,

quences of the struggle thus kept
up at our doors, besides shocking
the sentiment of humanity. The
government Of the United States
appreciates the humanitarian and
disinterested character of the
communication now made and for
it's part is confident that appre-
citation will be shown for its own
earnest and unselfish endeavors.

COMFORT FOR The SEALS.
A Daily shower Prom "a Hose Pipe That
Gives Them Great Enjoyment.


Through the winter the water in the
pool Of the West Indian seals at the
aquarium was kept raised to "A empera
ture that would make it safe and agree
able for them. and "A daily incident in
the care Of the seals consisted i'm the
warming Of their bed. The seals sleep
on a stone platform, which is raised a
few inches above the level of the water
at one end Of their pool. As the time app
preached for them 10 climb on of the
water the stones were warmed by play
ing hot water upon them for "A time
from a hose. The stone were thus made
warm and comfortable at the outset,
and after the seals had settled down up
on them they kept them warm with the
heat Of their bodies.
The water used in winter was hot
and the seals kept away from it while
il was running. As the warmer weather
came on water not 50 hot was used,
though il is still necessary To raise the
temperature Of the water i'm the pool
above that of the water of this latitude,
for these seals i'm nature are accustomed
always to warmer water h they
would get here, and the stone bed also
is still warmed up "A little for them.
But with the water not so hot they be-
gan climbing up on the stone platform
while the hose was still playing, n
sometimes the hose was turned upOn
them. They enjoyed this nightly, and
now a daily part of the seals pro-
gramme is to come up on the platform
and have the hose played on them, and
they would lie there thus for hours If
the man with the hose would keep it go
ing that long.
They come up generally one at a time.

itself upon the stone and the playing
upon it is begun. 1t is a gentle stream

sometimes the seal turns over SO as to
bring all parts OF its body under the
water. 1t enjoys this bath immensely.
and the flow Of water, which serves also
To warm the stones, is kept up longer

to prolong the enjoyment of the seal.
After a while the first seal rolls out

crowds ii out. The last seal rolls in
under the slightly ~oveThanginG coping
around the top of the pool. which has
a curve that happens just To fit it, and
rubs it's back. maybe. while the water Is
playing along upon its side. What
higher comfort could be imagined! And
It rolls over after a whole so that the
hose can be played all over il. and drops
its head on the stone and lies there and

hose should divert the stream for "A mo-
ment the seal raises It's head and looks

Hi. there, What's the matter with
that water?'
And when the water has been finally
turned off the seals lie there and go To

ANTIOoTE FOR SNAKE BITE.

WHY WAS It STOPPED2
The Mortuary Record Is No
Longer Published.
THERE'S A DEMAND FOR 1T
IL Was Started Eight Years Ago Under
Administrator Robarts, but Was
Discontinued BY the Present
Official.

Quite a number Of people have lately
expressed to the STANDARD their regret
thai the present city administrator has
seen fit to discontinue the old custom of
preparing and publishing at the end of
each month a mortuary table. This
custom was started in Butte about eight
years ago under DIR. Heber Robarts.
Hvh was health officer at that time. Il
was kept in vogue by succeeding health
oficers up to about the beginning of the
present municipal year. No mortuary
reports have been issued for four or
five months. and While the general
reader might have regarded the reports
as dry and uninteresting. there were
many who found much interest i'm the
report each month and who regret that
ihe administration has decided not to
issue them any more.
Il have not heard any reason as
signed for stopping these reports" said
an official yesterday, land l for one re-
Eret that il has been decided to stop
rhem. 1t is a good thing for the city to
keep track of its health. To know how
many cases of contagious disease there
are in the city and what the diseases
are; What the principal causes Of death
were; how many deaths there were dur
ing a certain month and how that num-
Der corresponds with the number Of
deaths in the corresponding months Of
former years; a comparison Of Butte's
death rate with the death rates of other
cities. There is also much interest in
abe tables showing the ages of those
dying during the month. their trade or
occupation. their condition i'm life and
she place Of their nativity. 1t seems To
me that every place pretending to be
q nrst-class city must publish and pre-
serve tables of this sort for compari-
son with former months and former
years and for comparison with other
cities. We believe that Butte is as
healthful as most cities and has a death
rate that would be lower thar most
were 1t not for the large number Of ac-
oidents and violent deaths that occur
here.
Il for n want to put i'm a plea for
h mortuary reports. II they are not
gotten out regularly they are OF no
value whatever and | hope that the
mayor and the board Of health will con-
clude TO have these back reports made
up n to have them prepared regular
ay hereafter. At present we have no
way of telling whether bad water Is
affecting the general health of the city
or not. We do not know. from any
Official statement at least. whether
there is any diphtheria. or scarlet fever
or measles, or typhoid fever. or any
other disease here or not. We do not
know whether We are getting healthier
or not. We do not know whether our
death rate is decreasing or increasing
Ihe city authorities would be surprised
20 know how many peonle are inter
ested in these reports. and If they know.
J am sure they would not have discon-
1inued them"

poison. After IL has recovered from
the bad effects a slightly larger dose is
administered, and SO on. In time the
creature comes entirely immune to
the poison. Some blood is now extract
ed from IT, from which the serum is
separated. This is known as antive-
