thinking that she has already reached

from over the sea. Second. as a manu-.

Lady SaundersOn sat by the skipper at

visitors. Dr. David Gill, astronomer
royal, who was of the party, invited
me the next day to the famous Cape
Observatory. An hour with DR.. Gill

coveries in stellar photography are well

Spray. and we went over the subject
of standard time at sea. and how it
was found from the deck of the little
sloop without the aid of a clock of any
kind. Later it was advertised that Dr.
Gill would preside at a talk about the.
voyage of the Spray; that alone secur-
ed for me full house. The hall was
packed, and many were not able to get
in. This success brought me sufficient
money for all my needs in port and for
the homeward voyage.

There are two facts regarding con-
sumption which. although long known
and insisted upon by a few santarians
and physicians, have only recently been
generally admitted. 1t is upon these
two facts-the contaglousness OF the
disease and Its durability In the early
stages-that the modern sanatorium
treatment OF tuberculosis has been
founded. Consumption Is not conta-
glous in the same sense as smallpox.
for II certain necessary precautions are
taken a tuberculous subject is little
more dangerous to the health OF those
about him than Is well person: but
II these essentials are neglected the
danger Is very great and very real.
Now among the very poor, especially
those living In large cities. II Is prac-
tlcally impossible to enforce the observ-
ance OF these precautions. and conse-
quently each consumptlve Is n center
whence the disease may, and probably
Will. spread In countless directions.
The transfer OF such a patient to a
sanatorlum removes at once source

same time gives the patient himself the
best, and often his only. chance OF re-
covery. The main elements OF treat
ment in n sanatorlum are an abund.
ance OF fresh and pure air. wholesome
food. rest and exercise In the proper
proportions. and above all absolute
cleanliness and the prompt destruction
OF the bAclllusladen eXpectorated mat

poor. those who need this form OF treat.
ment the most, were barred. A move
meBt has started recently. looking to
the erection OF Institutions for the treat
ment OF the poor at the expense OF the
State, and TO Massachusetts, with It's
State hospital for consumptlves at Rut-
land, belongs the honor OF being the
first OF the United States to build such
sanatorium. When not only every
state. but every large city as well. has
similar institutions for the treatment

dIflcult enough and yIetory came only

dlnicult enough and victory came only
after hcrIsilean labor.
Sometimes It happened that the drift
In the cut was composed Of damp snow
and had had time to settle and become
packed. Then the perils Of snow-Duck-
ing became perils in truth.
The QUICKER with its powerful mo-
tive force Of seven or eight locomo-
tlves was hurled bodily at the drift and
one Of two results followed. Either
the drift was broken or the quicker
crumpled up like n toy Of cardboard.
The fate Of the crew Of several men de-
pended on what Artemus Ward called
their nat'ral born luck" Stories are
still told OF the catastrOphes occurring
during one hard winter many years
ago; Of how In one instance quicker,
three engines and fourteen men we're
buried in mass Of snow for ninety
hours, and that when the rescuing
party finally reached them the impris-
oned men were found encased at their
posts like the baker Of POmpeii.
To-day there are no such narrowing
tragedies. The invention Of the rotary
pillow has made the clearing away OF
distractions a comparatively easy task.
In appearance the rotary pillow Is like
huge box car strengthened with
heavy iron girders and plates. The
front end is square aud open. and with
In can be seen a great steel-winged
wheel somewhat similar to the ordin-
airy windmill. The edges Of the open
Ing slope inward and are strongly re-
enforced with iron. The "auger" or
wheel revolyes upon an axle, and as
the plow is forced against the drift the
snow is eaten away and blown through
tunnels pitched at an angle above the
machine.
1t is seldom that more than two en-
gines are required to push the rotary,
as 1t works by cutting Instead Of brute
force, like the old-tlme quicker" Rail
road men are great admirers Of the new
order Of machine, and they never fail
to praise its efficiency.

ents should be satisfied with 81 dam

pressed opinion OF a Supreme Court
justice In New Jersey. Only 81 for the
life OF every child killed under the

market value OF m ordinary dog Is

The relatives must prove that the dead
man suffered pain TO get more. The
fact that the body Is mutilated does
not prove IT," Here is another gem OF
Jurisprudence. A man put 20 death
palnlessly Is worth $40. A man who
suffers some pain is probably worth
500. On the other hand, and IN ac-
cOrdance with the same rule, a man

praises for the company would have

African CIV RniIt or Lnnh

There is city In Africa where lead is
used successfully for building pur.
poses. Byra is the name OF this rather
extensive town, which has over 3oo
buildings built OF pure lead. Three very
fine public buildings. with beautiful or.
lamentations, have been constructed
from pure lead. Besides durability. the
cheapness Of the mineral is a great con,
sideration. Thus the construction OF
any Of these very elaborate buildings
never exceeds the cost OF $4,000.
