CAMPAIGN OF EVACUATION.

Rumors of n more or less alarmist
character have for some time been
plentiful around Havana. 1t is said,
for instance, that this general or that
is about 10 take to the woods. and 1t
is apparently true that certain men
are nursing programs hostile to the
American administration. But the
spread OF the campaign of education
is doing II great deal to Offset the in
fluence of such people, and in any
event no trouble whatever is likely to
occur until after Congress meets.
a RISING ENPECTED.
It Is fact, however, that many
Americans here believe that if nothing
is done toward giving the Cubans some
definite assurances, il not a precise
date, regarding the Independence of the
island, there will be a rising of some
sort, although opinions differ widely
with regard to what it will amount to.
Some believe that the maicontents
would be practically bandits, easily
controlled by few troops. Others hold
that the rising would be formidable
and would call for large American
force,

THE TRACING OF SUICIDE.
Believed That Unsuitable Diet Has an
 fniurious Eject.

Believed That Unsuitable Diet Has m
 Injurious Eject.
 Dr. Haig is of the opinion that sui- eide may be traced to error in diet, the error being the eating of meat, the drinking of beer and of tea and the smoking of tobacco. His facts all fall comfortably into their places in sup port of his hypothesis. Are there not more suicides among men than among women, and do not men consume more meat, more beer and more tobacco than the women? Again, suicide is more common in England than in Scotland, not apparently because the Scotch are more canny race, but be- cause the English eat more meat and drink more beer, while the Scotch eat less meat and drink whisky instead of beer. After maintaining that suicide was less common among the Scotch, it was perhaps hardly polite. when ad- dressing Scotch audience, to go on to say that suicide increased wit " fit4 fi illttza- tion. But the fact was explained on the ground of more injurious diet, that of civilized man being more productive of uric acid and thus of suicide than that which prevails where civilization is less advanced. Uric acid is, in fact, at the bottom of all this, and, accord ing to pr. Haig, the incidence of sui- eide tallies with the daily, annual and life fluctuations of uric acid in the blood, being commonest when uric acid is most abundant, namely, in the morn ings, in spring and summer and in childhood and the full prime of life.
 We have no doubt that errors of diet are responsible for much, and, among other things, for certain number of suicides; nay, we would go further and admit that unsuitable diet, derange- ment of the proper relation between nutrition and waste and the conse- quent loading of the tissues and the blood with abnormal products of me- tabolism have much to do with that iil-temper and discomfort which lead men to lay their hands violently upon their neighbors and sometimes on themselves. All this may be taken for granted, but it is at present far from proved that the peccant material is in all cases the same, and still further are we from being agreed that uric acid is the origin of the evil.

New Cure for Alcoholism.

Now that the Keeley gold cure is on the way to join the Keeley motor, there Is room for the new Russian remedy for alcoholism which Michael George witch Alaverdoff is introducing into England. His remedy is a secret herb found in certain parts of Russia. A deeper mystery enshrouds his recipe from the fact that it calls for 36 per cent of spirits of wine and 64 per cent of distilled water, in addition to the herb The first thing that the patient must do is to get thoroughly drunk over night. Scotch whisky is recom- mended for this. When he wakes in the morning with dark-brown taste in his mouth he is given a small glass containing the panaeea, which is not noticed. After three days the patient can go his way, and will not wish to drink again, and even if he does-so says M. Alaverdoff, it will immediately make him "womit."

Thunder and Lightning.

It is said that lightning may be rec ognized at a distance of 200 miles when the clouds among which it plays are at a high altitude, but thunder can sell dom be heard at a greater distance than ten miles. The sound of thun- der is also subject to refraction by layers of different density in the atmos- phere, as well as to the effects of " sound shadows" produced by hills and other interposed objects. These are among the reasons for the existence of the so-cal1ed sheet" or Summer" lightning, which seems to be unattend- ed by thunder.

ToYered superatftfon.

Students of architecture have often wondered why the two towers of Notre Dame are not of equal size. though they appear so to the casual observer. A writer in one of the recent English magazines has found the explanation, which is rather curious. It appears that when the cathedral was built the cathedral of suffragan bishop was not entitled to two towers of equal size, and for centuries the bishop of Paris was suffragan to the bishop of Sens.
