New Theory of sunstroke.

From the Los Angeles 1lHes
Dr. Sarnbon adopts what to many will be
q startling theory to explain the action of
s,nstroke He regards this affection as not
due to excessive heat or exposure to the
sun, but to an infectious disease caused by
a specific organism. He attests the fact
that stokers oven cleaners, miners and
iron workers are exposed to temperatures
higher than those of any known climate
without ever contracting the malady, and
that the Assam tea planters and the close
working In the hottest sun, are equally ex-
empt. DR.. Sambon. discussing the geo
graphical distribution of the disease, goes
on to prove that the areas in which 1t Is
epidemic are strictly defined. While un-
known IN Europe, 1t is common in the low
lying regions of the eastern United States
between the Appalachians and the Atlantic.
II extends along the Nile sea, the Red sea
and Persian gulf. 1t prevails in the Indo-
Gangetic alluvial plain, but not OH the adj
jacent Indian highlands. In support Of his
infection theory DIR. Sambon refers to the
occurrence of epdemics which have fire.
quently decimated hospital wards and not
affected men exposed to greater heat and
sun. The demonstration of the organic
origin of the malady rests on its distribu-
ton. etiology, morbid anatomy and epidem-
&c character. The specific organism has not
been detected, but Dr. Sambon's investiga-
lions incline him to the belief that it lives
In the superficial layers Of the soil, and Is
conveyed to the lungs or aimentary canal
by dust.

SUGGEST CHANGES.
Amendments Proposed in the bright
wood Railway Bill.

The District Commissioners, In a report
to Chairman Babcock of the House Dis
trict committee on House bill 102S0, re-
curing the Brightwood Railroad Company
to abandon its overhead trolley on Kenyon
street, Columbia Heights. have suggested
certain amendments to the measure. The
House bill proposes to give the company
the right to install the underground system
on Kenyon street at any time within three
years.
That Limitation the Commissioners con-
slider too long, especially in view Of the fact
that the Metropolitan or some other rail-
way company may be compelled to extend
tracks over part of the territory in ques-
ton The Commissioners therefore recon-
mend that the time be fixed at one year.
The Commissioners recommend an amend
ment correcting the name of the company,
and that after the proviso on page of the
House bill there should be a penalty clause
added, in order to make enforceable the re.
quirement as to the removal of the tracks
and poles.
with these suggested amendments the
Commissioners recommend favorable action
on the bill.

TROOPS FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
The War Department Likely to AdOp,
General Nerritfs Suggestions.


There are indications that the War De-
partment has been brought to see the wis
dom of the suggestions thrown out by Ma
jor General Merritt that his expedition to
the Philippines should consist of not less
/ than 15.000 men, and that at least a third
of them should be seasoned troops from the
regular army, capable of meeting on even
terms the veteran Spanish soldiers who
garrison Manila. The endeavor to over
| come the Spanish force with less than half
their number of troops would seem ito be a
senseless proceeding in view of the fact
| that there is no necessity for such course
Gen. Merritt took occasion to deny very
emphatically the accuracy of certain news
paper interviews published yesterday morn
ing, which placed him in the position of re-
IuslnS to obey an order to proceed to the
PnlllpplneS because his force was ipSuffi-
Client. The officials at the department upon
seeing these publications did not hesitate
10 express ut once their belief that Gen.
merritt was too good a soldier to refuse to
opey lawful order, although they admitted
that ne might have suggested the propri-
ety OF an increase in the number and a bet
terment IN the quality of the soldiers to be
assigned to his command.
General Merritt telegraphed the Secre-
tary OF War as follows:
Il desire you to know that the inter-
views published in the New York papers
yesterday morning are in every way in
correct and unauthorized. I had intended

ALWAYS READY FOR WAR.
Marvellous Rapidity I'm Preparing for
Offensive or Defensive Action.

From Chambers Journal
1t can no longer be said that Great
Britain is unprotected. The coast defenses
were never more complete or efficient Right
around our shores stretch these many de-
lenses, not isolated, and therefore OF little
account, but forming a linked protection,
with the telegraph or telephone at hand to
respond at naval headquarters in London
TO the. slightest warning, ard from White
hall there branch off private wires to the
great arssnals of Portsmouth, Davenport,
Chatham and Sheerness.
A few words from any point on the coast,
be it an isolated coastguard station or
lonely guardship, may in an hour or two
have led TO orders of national import being
flashed over sleeping towns and villages to
the naval commander-in-chi>f at the coast,
and before the outside world knows of inn
pending danger all the machinery of de.
Tense Will be in readiness for an emergency.
That this is no Xaggaration those may
judge who remember the hasty commissions
ing of the particular service squadron in
January, 1896, when the German emperor's
ill-judged telegram to President Kruger
set England ablaZe with anger.
Before even the Times announced the de-
cision of the government to form this new
squadron, ito do anything and go any
WHERE as Mr.. Goschcn explained, the tele-
graph instruments at Whitehall had been
vigorously ticking, and unknown TO the
public, the admirals at Chatham. Ports
mouth and Davenport had had their orders.
BY the tina the world was awake the prep
arations for commissio ming the ships had
commenced, and in a few days a squadron
of powerful modern vessels was fitted out
and ready for any task. When the neces-
sity arises no less promptly Will the ma
chinery OF defense be again put to the test,
possibly ON a more extensive scale.

Yes, SIR said one, L have always regret

sounds of strife outside caused US to set
them down and go out the back way, just
as several Johnny Rebs came in the tent.

Louis said he, don't be alarmed. Those
toddies were not wasted. L was just in

into the air would point most conclusively
to the fact that the torpedo was in direct
contact with the bottom of the ship at the
instant of explosion, and that the gases
found vent at that point where there was
the least resistance, namely, through the
bottom of the ship, it being remembered
that the inertia of the mass counts for
much more with these high explosives than
the strength of the materials. In such a
case the gases would escape directly
through the bottom of the ship, blowing the
severe jar upon the surrounding water
The next question which arises is Could
any evil-minded person IN Havana obtain at
least 800 pounds of high explosives? Could
they have placed them in a suitable tor

Cbickapuuga.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The word Chickamauga, like n great
many other proper names of places in this
country, is of Indian origin. II is said TO
be Cherokee name, signifying 1.-The river
of DEATH" and. according to a legend which
has fioated down among the Indians, the
stream received its name from the acci-
dental drowning of the people Of a village
by a sudden rise attributed to a cioudburst.
C'hckahominy is another name of similar
character the Indian word signifying "tur-
Key lick" or a place where turkeys are
wont to assemble. Chicopee, the lame of 2
town in Massachusetts, signifies THE place
of birch bark and Chickago, or Choc-ca-
GO which we have corrupted ilto Chicago,
is yariously translated as the playful wa
ters'' or the destitute place" II has also
been interpreted as 1.-The place Of the wild
leek" or poie-cat plant and which OF the
three TRANSACTIONS is correct must be left
for the antiquarians to settle among them-
selves.
