The people of japan have shown such
adaPtability to European ideas that
particular interest attaches to the con
clusion of a writer III the transitions
of the Japan society that the ancestors
of the present inhabitants of Japan
built the sepulchral chambers called
dolmens in that country. No similar
dolmens are found anywhere in Asia
until the search comes westward 10 the
shores of the Caspian sea. 'and for
more closely allied forms it is necessary
to go yet farther to western Europe"
1t is shown that the original inhab-
itants of Japan, the Amos, were driven
out by invaders from whom the present
inhabitants are descended.-Yo uth's

white, and no doubt exists there have
been many such cases-the result being
attributed to a disease for which a
special name has been invented. But
story comes from Austria Of native of

changed by electric treatment for a

doctors is that the black pigment of the

Prior to the present century, scurvy
was one of the most dreaded diseases
on shipbuard. Armies were decimated
by it, and navies rendered useless, says
the Philadelphia Medical Journal
Sometimes half ships crew would be
disabled by scurvy, Until the re-
searches Of physicians showed that it
owed its origin to the lack of fresh
vegetables, its ravages were frequent
and widespread. In 1875 there was in
PRODUCED into the British navy the ad-
mirable regulation for provisioning
ships of war drawn up by Blame. Since
then scurvy has almost disappeared.
At the present time it is seen only in
exceptional circumstances. such as have
recently arisen in the Klondike. Even
in the long, lonely voyages to the pole
our means of furnishing the crews with
vegetable food in various forms has
prevented any outbreak of importance.
