The Public Still in Ignorance Con-

South Africa. ...

London, Dec. 23.-Belated South At
rican dispatches throw no light upon
the present situation at the seat OF
war. There is no confirmation of the
report that Ladysmith could hold out
several weeks longer, and it is feared
that this was circulated by the Beers

A Cape Town dispatch, dated Sun

mandant Diedericks, of the Boer

vices from Naauw Poort describe ev-

fresh news from Arundel concerns the
weather, which is excessively hot.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
ChieveIey, dated December II, estimates
the casualties in Gen. Buffers repulse

The Cape Town correspondent of the
Times, under date of December II, says:
"The Boer fighting line is very thin, and
single British success might crumble
it completely. The real danger, how
ever, is not the military situation, but
the likelihood Of a Dutch rebellion,
which would make the area Of war so
vast that an additional $4,000 men would
be easily swallowed up in maintaining

Pure Air from Lake Michigan Gave
an Investigator an Extreme
Iy Hard Cold.

On one occasion the present writer
walked to the edge of Lake Michigan
when a strong wind was blowing right
from the lake. The bodily condition
was us near perfect as could be, says
Popular Science, and yet in less than
five minutes there was every evidence
of having caught an extremely hard
cold. The severe Influenza continued
until, on walking away, in less than
500 feet, it disappeared as if by magic.
It is very certain that the tempera-
ture had nothing to do with this, nor
the wind, but the influenza was direct
" due to the abundant ozone in the
air. BY inquiry it was learned that
hundreds of residents who had lived
upon the immediate edge of the lake
had been obliged to move back three
or four miles in order to relieve them
selves from such experiences. Physi-
clans readily admit that it is not al
ways possible to say why one
catches" cold; it certainly cannot al
ways be because of undue exposure
or change in temperature, but prob.
ably also to changes in the electric
condition of the air. Facts of this
kind should lead to the EXTREMIST can.
