specific diseases. European scientists pro-
fess to nave discovered that red light is
a cure for measles. Red glass or curtains
are placed in the windows and red shades
on the lamps in the room occupied by the
patient. Twelve children were recently
treated by this method in Paris with very
satisfactory results, no other treatment
being used. The new cure, which is
scientifically known as phototherapic. is

the skin in cases of measles is due to the
chemical rays of the solar spectrum; in
other words, to the ultra violet rays, and
not TO the so-called caloric or heat rays.
If this were not so, say the scientists, how
account for the fact that the ~pustules and
scars are especially deep and marked on
the hands and face. which are the parts
Of the body most exposed TO the solar rays?
The same treatment is said to have been
tried on smallpox patients by a doctor of
Copenhagen. None but red light was al

that the little vesicles or bladders gradu-
ally disappeared, and the patients did not
suffer from the customary fever, and fur
thermore. were not pockmarked. The thing
is interes ing and is probably based on a
scientific principle, even If its effects are

claim. There was perhaps a germ of truth
in the blue glass ''cure." and in time when

years a resident principally of Cincinnati.
in a civil suit filed in the Rush Circuit
Court to-day. is charged with the murder Of
his wife and three members of the family
of Benjamin FraZee, father-in-law of Dale.

1t has been suggested that If Russia's
Transslberian Railway were completed she
would put a speedy end to the trouble
in China. She would 'put a million men
in there in a month and wipe them OUT
(meaning the Chinese). Let us see whether
she would, or indeed, If it would be phys
ically possible to put a million men at
the terminus of the road in a month. AT
thirty days to the month the troops would
have to go forward at the rate of 1888

erick the Great held SHOULD be one-fourth
of every army, and which rule has not
been often deviated from from that day
1888 men must go forward daily. AT a
hundred men to the car land in actua
practice it would be less than this). 1T
means 33i cars every day of the thirty.
Minor fractions eliminated. it would take
thirty-nine trains of seventeen cars each
to move every two days contingent The
Journey from Moscow "a middle point in
European Russia) is opposed to be twelve
days, If no untoward delay occur. So trains
must flow outward steadily for twenty
four lays before the first train would get
back to Moscow. This would mean that 46S
trains of seventeen cars each must be kept
employed-46S locomotives and 1856 cars.
There are few railroads in the world which
lave 46S locomotives; there is none which
has 1856 cars in each of which one hun
cred men could exist for twelve days. If
these other things were possible, and the
troops were landed, as promised. they
would leave the trains in the most barren
part of China except the Cobb desert, a
territory in which they could not find their
subsistence, either food or water. and be-
fore the first train following the troops
could come through with supplies, the first
contingent would be on the verge of death
by starvation.
