Cerebrospinal Meningitis.


Cerebrospinal meningitis, or spotted
fever, is an acute Inflammation of the
membranes covering the brain and the
spinal cord, occurring usually in epi-
denies of very variable severity. The
outbreaks are peculiar in that they
are commonly limited in extent, being
often confined to a single city or even
to single part of city. Thus in 1898
the disease prevailed in New York
city, bat was seldom heard of in Bos-
ton, while for the past two years there
have been very few cases in New York,
but in Boston there has been a quite
severe epidemic.
1t is more common in small towns
and country places than in large cities.
1t generally attacks children and young
adults, and singularly enough, the
strong and robust seem to be more
liable to it than the weak and deli
cate, although it usually selects for
its attack time when the system is
temporarily depressed by overwork of
mind or body, by worry, exposure to
severe cold or the like.
Most of the cases occur in the win
ter and spring. The attack begins
suddenly with chill, severe pain in
the back of the head, and perhaps
vomiting, and soon there comes on a
stiffness of the back of the neck and
spine. Pain is often associated with
this stiffness, and in severe cases it
seems to be like continuation down.
ward of the pain in the head.
There is fever, and the patient COM
plains of noises or strong light. The
mind begins to wander early in the
attack, and sometimes there is wild
delirium, SO that it is difficult to keep
the sufferer from injuring himself. The
delirium gradually passes away, but
the patient, instead of returning to
himself, falls into condition of
stupor.
In some cases there is an eruption
of purplish spots on the body, from
which the disease derives it's common
name of spotted fever, and there is
often herpes-"cold sores"-on the
lips.
1t is a popular belief that spotted
fever is always fatal, but this is far
from being true. Nevertheless the dis
ease is very serious one; and the
chances are against recovery.
The treatment consists in keeping
up the patients strength as far as pos
sible with milk alternating with
strong beef tea, which latter contains
little or no nourishment, but is an ex-
cellent stimulant. Some physicians ap-
ply ice bags to the spine and back Of
the head, and they generally seem to
do good. 1t is now believed my many,
however, that warm baths-three or
four a day-afford the best means of
cure that has been discovered up to
the present time.

CLARK OF MONTANA.
A MILLIONAIRE AND STILL AN
HONEST MAN.
He Made His Money by Having the
foresight to Embrace Rare Oppor-
Day.

William A. Clark, United States SEN
ator-elect, will be an interesting per-
sonality among the personalities that
makes up the body to which he will
go as the accredited representative Of
the state Of Montana. This is not sole
ly because he is enormously wealthy,
but also because of the qualities which
he having won his vast fortune by
pure personal effort and by seizure
OF opportunity. When a man who is
an art lover and judge of art, who
knows the value of books, ean look
back and see himself penniless boy,
some one deserves credit. In Mr..
Clark's case no one deserves credit
but himself Mr. Clark is Democrat,
and has contributed literally to the
campaign funds.
At fair estimate Mr.. Clark's wealth
may be stated to be about 10000 900,
and his daily income about $4,000. It's
accumulation began when he was a
mere boy at labor Now his capitalist
operations reach from one tide water
to the other In old Mexico is the i'm
pulse of his resources felt. In Europe
painters and sculptors know his name
and respect his judgment. He owns
mines of gold and silver; he extracts
sugar from beats; he operates coal
mines and railroads; he owns a fac
tory for the manufacture of copper
wire; he Is beginning to grow coffee,
sugar-cane and rubber and may be-
come a grower of tea; he is a broker
and a stock grower.
The scale on which each Of these
enterprises is conducted is large, and

An Astronomer In a Balloon.

Monsieur Jansen, the founder OF
the observatory on the top of Mt.
Blanc, got over the difficulty presented
by the cloudy weather during the me-
teor shower of November IA, in an
original manner. He went up in bal
loon, near Paris, to height of 600 or
700 feet, where the air was clear, and
had the satisfaction of seeing many
meteors which were invisible from be-
low. Next year, when much greater
display of the November meteors is
expected, Monsieur Jansen intends to
organize several astronomical balloon
parties. His experience with balloons
runs back to the Franco-Prussian war,
when he escaped from Paris, then be-
sieged by the German army, in a bal
loon in order to witness the total solar
eclipse of December %, 1870, in Spain

Is A NEW COMPOSER.
LORENZO PEROSl ATTRACTING
ATTENTION OF EUROPE.
His Latest Oratorio THE Resurrection

milton of High Authorities-Given Be
fore the King and Queen.

The youthful composer, Don Lorenzo
Perosi, whose latest OratoriO, THE
Resurrection of Christ" was given for
the first time in the Church of Santi
Apostoli in Rome recently, was born
twenty six years ago at TOrtona, in the
cathedral Of which his father is choir
leader, and has lived in an atmosphere
of music, seeing that his two brothers
and three sisters are all accomplished
musicians. He studied at the excel
lent Roman school of Santa Cecilia, at
the Benedictine college of Monte Cas-
sino and at the Conservatorio of Mi
Ian, whore he took the degree of macs
tro. After seeking further musical
perfection at RatisbOn he became con-
luctor of the choir of St Marks at
Venice, where, absorbed in practicing
on the organ, he passes many an hour
of day and of night in the stiffness OF
that unique basilica, and where-such
is his facility of compOsition-he
writes off with amazing rapidity con-
stant su :cession of hymns, masses and

A Meteoric Projectile.

The discovery of meteors that have
actually been seen to fall is a rare
piece of good fortune Such an event
occurred last August, near Andover,
Maine. The meteor fell on cloudy
morning. and exploded with loud
soise, heard for many miles around,
and which was generally supposed to
be thunder. Its path through the air
was marked by trail of black smoke
Tearing it's way through a group Of
trees, it almost struck man pass
ing. 1t did strike stone wall and
buried itself in the ground, from
which it was dug by Mr.. Henry Y.
Poor, the well-known editor of the
Manual of Railroads." 1t weighs
about seven pounds, and consists most
ly of stony material with little iron.

better linguists tnan Mr.. Clark. He
is fluent conversationalist in French
German and Spanish, having studied
those languages under the best mas
ters abroad, while no one will be able
to find flaw in his everyday English
How man with the multitude of en-
terprises Mr.. Clark has had on his
hands could find the time to study and
equip himself intellectually to the ex-
tent he has is more marvellous than
his ability to amass millions.
Much has been said about his art
collections. During his visits to Eu-
rope he has gathered more than 100
of the best works of the masters of the
Barbizon school. He has what is rec
ognized as Fortuny's greatest work in
his collection, besides the works Of
Corot, Delacroix, Won Morche and half
dozen others.
His one ambition since Montana
was admitted into the union has been
to represent the state in the United
States senate. He was elected by the
first legislature, but the senate seated
his republican contestant. Again in
1892 he made the race, but his unre-
lenting enemy, Marcus Daily, forced a
deadlock, and Mr.. Clark failed to win
by two votes, after fight of sixty
days. This time he has beaten his
old enemy, though he had to go out
side of his own party for help to do it

yet Mr.. Clark finds time to keep abreast
of the latest in literature, in science
and in art, and he has knowledge
of public affairs and men that many
with far more leisure lack. Truly
marvellous stride from the days when
he taught school in a country district
in Missouri in 1S59-60.
Mr.. Clark was born January s, 1889,
near Connellsville, Pa. From Pennsyl-
vania his parents moved to Van Buren
County, Iowa. The elder Clark was
farmer, and the son had three months
of winter school and nine months of
farm work. Later he attended Laurel
Hill academy, and afterward an acad-
emy at Mount Pleasant, where he
studied law for two years. In 1859 he
went to Missouri, taught country
school for a year, and then went fur
ther westward. In 1862 he crossed the
plains to Colorado, locating at Central
City, where he engaged in quartz min
ing There he gained the practical ex-
perience that has been of such value
to him since.
The next year the news Of the gold
finds in Montana reached him, and he
started for the new Eldorado The first
season he made $500 net. He real
lied that there was more money in
merchandising than in placer mining,
and with $1,000 he went to Salt Lake
City, bought all the goods he could,
and returned with them to Virginia
City, wheer they were disposed of at
enormous profits. For several years
he followed up this business, and in
! 1868 the original cash capital of $1,000
had grown to as many thousands
| Then he formed partnership with
| r. w. Donnell of New York for the
purpose of carrying on mercantile
and banking business. Deer Lodge
was selected, and the bank was located
there until 1884. Then Mr.. Clark
! bought Mr.. Donnell's interest, moved
the bank to Butte, and today it is one
of the leading private banks of the
northwest.
In 1872 Mr.. Clark purchased a group
of mines near Butte, and they proved
to be fabuiously rich. To equip him
self to manage his own business he
took a course in the mining depart
ment at Columbia college, New York
He has kept his mining studies up,
and while he employs mining experts,
he is personally the final judge of
value when purchase is to be made.
He has acquired mine after mine In
the Butte district, and now owns a
score Of the richest and most famous

employer presented him with the an
vii and hammer on which he had done
his first work. He has used it contin
ually ever since. A few weeks ago he
conceived the idea of using it as his

for the old hammer and fastened i;
with a metal peg to the top of tbs
anvil. He also attached three links

His luckiest investment, though, was in
the Verde copper mine at Jerome,
Ariz. Other capitalists had chance
at 1t before Mr.. Clark, but their ex-
perts reported it to be valueless. Mr..
clark examined it personally, con-
Quoted his own tests, bought the prop
erty, and owns it today. The mire is
the greatest producer of copper in the
world, not excepting the great Ana
conda mine at Butte, and Mr.. Clark
has a standing offer of $2OOOO,O 900 for
it.
For number of years Mr.. Clark
has travelled in Europe. A few years
ago while in Germany he became in
terested in the beet sugar industry.
He studied it from the standpoint Of
chemist and a business man. and
as result he made some experiments
in the culture of the beet In Southern
California. So satisfactory was the
result that he purchased 10000 acres
Of land in the vicinity of Las Alimitos,
built factory, equipped it with the
latest and best machinery, and this
year he will extract the sugar from
100000 tons of sugar beets at his fac
tory. Five years ago he bought a
tract Of $4,000 acres of wild land in
Old Mexico, eighty miles from Vera
Cruz, on the gulf. 1t has been cleared
and sugar cane, coffee and rubber will
be the products. To get the best re-
suits from the copper produced by his
Arizona mine Mr.. Clark has built at
Elizabethport, N. j., factory for the
production of copper wire. 1t is known
as the w. A. Clark Wire Works, and
has a capacity of 100 tons of copper
wire every twenty-four hours.
Mr.. Clark is widower, and has
three sons and daughter. The lat
ter is married to DR.. E. M. Culver OF
New York. OF the sons two are at
school in the east, while the eldest,
Charles w., is married and lives at
Butte. Mr.. Clark is now building for
his daughter in New York magnifi-
cent residence, which will be the home
of his art treasures.

Canal Traction.

The English and continental eng1-
neers are giving much attention to i'm
proved canal service. Electric towing
is on trial, and the technical journals
voice the general sentiment that ca
nails have been unduly neglected. 1t
is believed that the railroad interests
are to some extent responsible for put
ting canals into the background. One
proposition is to lay a trolley line
along the tow path and draw the boats
by electric trolley engines. A speed
of six miles an hour is easily attained.
For an expenditure of power which is
little more than nominal, freight can
be transported by canal. On railroads
the expenditure of power is, relatively
speaking, very large.

The Blow of q Sea Wave.

A remarkable instrument has been
made by a British firm to be sent to ia
pan. Its use is to measure the blow of
wave. A similar apparatus was used
to measure the wave-blow off the
Skerryvore Rock, Scotland. There the
waves sweep in from the wide Atlantic.
In summer force of over 600 pounds
to the square foot was recorded. In
winter as high as ton to the square
foot was attained. This gives an idea
with what ships, lighthouses and other
similar structures have to contend.
