Famous Laughing Plant of Arabia.

The seeds Of the laughing plant Of
Arabia produce the same effect upon
persons as laughing gas. The plant at
tains height Of from two to four feet
with woody stems, widespreading
branches and bright green foliage. Its
fruits are produced in clusters and are
of yellow color. The seed pods are
soft and woolly in texture and contain
two or three black seeds of the size of
a Brazilian bean. Their favor is little
like opium, and their taste is sweet :;
the odor from them produces sicken-
ing sensation and is slightly offensive.
The seeds, when pulverized and taken
in small quantities, have a peculiar
effect upon man. He begins to laugh
loudly, boisterously; then he sings,
dances and cuts all manner Of fantastic
capers. Such extravaganza of gait and
manners was never produced by any
other kind Of dosing. Ladies' Home

The reports that come from the National
Soldiers Home to the effect that the fever
prevailing there is not the infectious vel
lew variety do lot concern Surgeon General
Wyman of the marine hospital service
Speaking to a Star reporter today Dr. wy
said:
THE expressions of doubt about this dis
ease being yellow fever are but repetitions
Of what we have experienced in every cpl
Gemic. 1t has been the same in cases of
cholera and smallpox. People don't like to
think they have these diseases in their
neighborhCod. and they naturally say they
don't believe ii is what it is pronounced by
the doctors. In a business way, too it is
unfortunate for community to have yell
low fever, as ii Injuries trade.
There is not the slightest doubt that the
epidemic at the National Soldiers Home is
yellow fever. Every doctor who has come
in contact with 1t has so pronounced II.
Not one of them has even expressed a
doubt on that point. Those who doubt that
it Is yellow fever have either not been in
contact with it or are not versed in the
symptoms of the disease. The symDtoms
and post-mortem examinations have both
indicated that the epidemic was yellow,
fever"
Dr. Vickery has telegraphed Dr. Wyman
that the soldier held as a yellow fever sus-
pect at the National Soldiers Home two
days ago has not developed that disease

GEN. WYMAN'S STATEMENT



NORFOLK, Va, August 12-The fever
situation continues to improve, and all in
dications point to the raising of the quar-
antine this evening Business has already
begun to resume it's normal condition on
the peninsula. and on this side of Hampton
Roads the scare has been forgotten. Col.
Smith. the inspector general of the home,
and Gen Mcmahon of the board of di-
rectors are still here ready to provide
everything needed for the health and COM
fort of the old soldiers.
The skillful handling of the scouge is a
matter of comment everywhere. 1t was
considered almost inevitable that Phoebus
and all the peninsula towns would be
swept by the fever, and this city was very
apprehensive for her safety. Therefore
The combining of the disease to the home
is considered little short of marvellous.

QUESTION AS TO THE DISEASE.
Many Believe 1t Was Not yellow Fever
mt Hampton.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEWPORT NEWS, Va, August 12.-The
government experts of the marine hospital
service appear to have gotten that mys-
FERROUS yellow fever at the National Sol
diers Home under control.
The word mysterious" is used advisedly,
for the behavior of the disease, whatever
it is has been most remarkable. The
scourge mas been uncannily considerable,
and even now one may hear expressed the
belief that the end is not yet-that Bronze
John will not quit the home satisfied with
such miserably small bunch of victims.
OF course. Drs. White and Wasdin and all
of the rest of the experts have pronounced
the disease yellow fever, and upon their
diagnosis the people of tidewater Virginia
have been put to tremendous expense
and have lost hundreds of thousands of
dollars and many sleepless nights. But the
question ought to be settled, since the eX-
perS have not settled it.
The action of the disease has been such
that doubt as to it's true character persists
in lingering.
This doubt is of two kinds. One is the
result of pure abstract reasoning; the oSler
has been nourished by experience.
In the first place, there are in the home
3, 800 Old soldiers ripe for death-men whose
constitutions have been undermined; men
without any constitutions at all. A more
fit prey for yellow fever could not be i'm
agined.

That Famous Rat story.

The famous rat story has been laugh
ed at and has been denied by Governor
Woodfn of the home, yet that a large num-
Der of rats, poisoned by rough on rats, We're
taken out of me of the wells can be proven
by the man who took them out.
This may may not have anything to
do with the present trouble and is simply
stated because the story was published and
denied.
1t cannot be said that the disease at the
home has ever become epidemic. There
has been but one new case within the past
ten days,
Yet one man with fact is worth a thou

who have had the disease and who have

Conditions at the Home.

These $500 battered wrecks are huddled
up together in this haven of refuge. They
sleep in huge dormitores. They eat in a
common dining hall. When they are not
sleeping or eating they are congregating
bus and Hampton.
With these conditions existing there were
thirty cases of this disease before its char
acter was discovered! Before the cause Of
the death of the first" yellow fever pa
tient was discovered two men had died with
the disease and had received the regula-
ton military burals. These two are not
alton. The official reports make the num-
Der of deaths eleven. The actual number
is thirteen. Since the startling discovery of
July 80 there have been but thirteen new
cases.
The questions asked in this connection
are:
Why were there no more cases at the
home? Why were there but two cases in
PhCebuS and none in any of the other
neighboring towns and cities which had
been perSiStently exposed to the Infection
in all sorts of ways? How was it possible
to confine the disease to forty-three cases
under the existing conditions? Why is 1t
that Head Surgeon Nickery of the home,
when asked if the disease is yellow fever,
says we must defer to the opinion of the
eXperts?" Why is it that two of the other
home surgeons positively maintain that the
disease is not yellow fever? Why is it that
among those $500 men not one can be
found who believes that yellow fever exists
at the home?
Among these men are some four hundred
who are intimate with the disease in It's
various phases; who have been to countries
where the disease appears periodically.
Among them are surgeons and other men of
fine intelligence.
