EMPEROR WILLIAMS TACT.
His Visit to French Naval Vessel
Not Without Method.

Official and diplomatic Washington Ie-
gard the visit of the German Emperor TO
the French school cruiser Iphegenie, al
Bergen, and the subsequent exchange of
kilograms between him and President Lou
bet as a remarkable move on the part of
William TO bring about a reconciliation be-
tween Germany and France.
Baron Won Holleben, the German Am
bassador, is not in the city, and other dip
lomats do not wish TO be quoted on such a
delicate international matter II is noted,
however, that the visit was made in such
a manner as certainly to have been pre-
arranged by the Emperor, and that the
message sent by him to President Loubet
was much more cordial than that he re-
ceiyed from the French executive.
Were ii not for Alsace-Lorraine, it is
believed in diplomatic circles that France
would forget the 81, 600, coo, 600 paid by her
as a war indemnity, and the indignities and
suffering she endured during the Franco
Prussian war, but with the loss Of terrific
ry still an irritating factor in the relations
of the two countries, Emperor William
may have to make many more diplomatic
strokes before he can hope to arouse re-
ally cordial feeling toward his nation In
France.
1t is said in diplomatic circles that the
Kaiser's next move will be to confer a
Prussian decoration upon the commanding
officer OF the Iphegenie, and it would not
be surprising if he were TO follow it up by
visiting a French man-of-war.
Ii is said that the French Government
has received intimations from William OF
his desire to visit Paris during the Expo
sition TO be held in that city next year
but up to this time the Paris Government
has turned deaf ear to his hints.

ELECTRIC LIGHT BATE.
Patients Are Treated by RadiantHeat
Where a High Temperature
Is Needed.

The vogue enjoyed in England by the
''Dowsing radiant heat BATH which
has led to the esta blishment of several
sanitariums for the treatment of pa
tients by radiant heat, has caused the
English medical papers to pay consid-
| cradle attention to the discussion of the
therapeutics of heat and light baths.
In most of these appliances incandes-
cent baths are used for generating the
heat, as it is claimed there is a spe-
cial advantage in the fact that the heat
emitted is from a source at a very high
temperature, is radiated rather than
| conducted, and that the light itself has
beneficial effect. The baths are
wooden boxes or cabinets arranged for
the reception of a patients body or
limbs, and studded thiclkly inside with
incandescent electric lamps and reflect
ors; so that the patient is subjected
to light and heat at the same time. The
diseases in which the treatment is said
to have been found useful are rheuma-
tism, asthma, anaemia, neurasthenia
and obesity. Winternit states that the
patients perspire profusely while in the
| cabinets, and the rapidity with which
the perspiration sets in is specially in
sist=d on by him. He says that after five
minutes exposure to the electric lamps
| this profuse perspiration begins, al
though the temperature of the air in
the cabinet is not more than 81 degrees
Fahrenheit. His results are very much
in line with those of Kellogg in this
country, who, for many years, has been
active in this field of acknowledgements
nrl o+I Ho oF
fects noticed to radiant heat, the ac-
ton of which, from a source at a high
temperature, he compares with that of
the heat of lower grade, which is en-
ployed in the hot room of a Turkish
bath. Thus, he states that the degree
of perspiration obtained with an air
temperature of IS degrees Fahrenheit
in the electric cabinet is equal to that
produced in a Turkish bath at LOG de-
grees Fahrenheit. 1t must be said, how
ever, that in the absence of data as to
the degree of humidity of the atmos-
phere surrounding the patient in the
two cases, this comparison is not per-
fectly convincing. The atmosphere of
a small closed box differs essentially
from that of the hot room of Turkish
bath, which is properly ventilated and
| supplied with volumes of hot, dry air.
The main points which seem to be es-
tablished by the discussion are that
the radiant heat penetrates the tissues
more deeply; that the effect is more
stimulating; that perspiration is more
quickly induced, and, also, that the
comparative GOODNESS of the air about
the patient is an advantage. But
whether the light emitted by the lamps
plays an important part or not is a
question which is still in doubt.-St.
