Tali.pana In China.

The belief in the potency Of charms.
ETC., Is very widespread among the low
er class Chinese and the Shans in parts
Of Yunnan. The latter in particular
have all kinds Of amulets to ward OF
evil, the gem OF their collection being
one which confers invulnerability on
the wearer. This useful quality may
also be obtained, l was informed. by
undergoing very painful process Of
tattooing. During my trip was shown
a dragons nest" which looked like a
bit of the horsehair stufiing from for
eign saddle, guaranteed to render the
purchasers house safe from fire. and
"female deer's horn." which would ena-
ble the fortunate owner to walk great
distance without fatigue.
Not being n landed proprietor or
professional sprinter, l had no use for
these things, and though l entered into
negotiations with several people for
the talisman which would render me
invulnerable none OF them was willing
to stand the test Of western skepti-
cism-a revolver at 80 paccs-even
though l offered them an enormous
sum and handsome funeral In case OF

Tie Chinese war has moved the

people are tco big to listen to clash

democracy have under estimated the
ability of the mass of the American
people.
The talk of sacrifice of human life
in China, is much INDUCED in. The
inter state commerce commission in
it's reports Of railroad casualties for
the year ending, June 80 in the

China is not the only place in the

IRONClAD FEVER.
4 Peculiar Disease That Was EkilleA
by Ventilation.

a Peculiar Disease That Was Killed
by Ventilation.
In the fight between the Monitor and
Merrimac it was found that there was
not sufficient air in the turreted steam
er for the crew and thatfhe suffocating
gases generated by the explosion Of
gunpowder found their way below and
rendered it practically impossible for
the men to work. Necessity therefore
compelled the introduction Of some ap-
paratus for artificial ventilation.
The old methods in vogue for hun
dreds of years had been retained even
under the new conditions and but for
the striking exhibition Of direct inter-
ference with fighting capacity would
have remained for many years longer.
In the Monitor was placed a rotary
blower, worked by steam. Air was
thus drawn from one half Of the steam
er through a system Of pipes and
forced into the other. Various changes
were made In later irOnclads Of this
period. In some the air was drawn
down the turrets and forced through
out the vessel, thus rendering them
more than ever liable to suffocate the
men below in battle. while in others the
supply was obtained through armored
cylinders and forced out through the
turrets.
1t was In the early irOnclads that
peculiar disease developed which, be-
ing confined to those vessels, was soon
designated ironcJad fever. In this at
fection the initial symptoms were
much like those Of typhus. but In a
short time severe 0ccipital pain was
followed by coiet aphonia and this
by coma and Ieatl. The introduction
Of ventilating appliances caused the
disappearance Of this singular disease.
