PHILIPPINE INSANITY.
The United States Government Tuves-
 tigating Mysterious Disease.

The United States Government Tuves-
 tigating Mysterious Disease,
 Much attention has been called to the number of men in the army serving in the Philippines who have gene in sane. The government has sent special commission out there to inyes- tigate the matter. and there has been talk of mysterious disease called the "Soudanese Fever" It is believed by some that this disease is peculiar to East Indian and African tropics: that it was this which caused Dr. Peters to get into trouble for killing Africans and made the French officers in Ae in- terior of Africa recently slay other of ficers sent to their relief. Everybody has heard of the Malay who runs amuck and, frenzied, kills right and left until he himself is killed. The word "amuck" is corruption of the Javanese word "amoak," to kill. There seems to be no doubt that the Malay occasionally goes crazy through an oyerindulgenee in opium or hasheesk hQu, SpIIuStuS lEOLl nIo sAdGh, : uAo naked through the streets of the vil- lage, killing all whom he may meet. When in a Malay village the cry "Amuck" is raised, it is like the cry of Mad dog!" in an American village. and the populace turns out with long bamboo spears ard kills the man as soon as they can. But the "Soudanese fever,' if it exists, is another thing apparently It may be that the disease which has afflicted white men in the Philippines and in equatorial Africa is only variation of apoplexy brought on by indulgence in heating and stimu- lating foods. The London Lancet re- gently had something about the alleg ed disease. People who had been af- flieted with it and had recovered said that they had sudden sensation of desire to kill, and that they 'saw red" A sudden affiux of blood to the head and the bursting of a blood vessel would produce insanity or coma. In northern climes it more usually re- suits in coma; in the tropics it seems to result in insanity. All the soldiers of our army in the Philippines who have been sent back as insane have been violent.

AN ANTARCTIC OASIS.
Queer Discovery Made During the
 Recent Expedition.


 Recent antarctic discoveries by the Belgian expedition, are described in the Century for January by Mr. Fred erick A. Cook of Brooklyn, whose arti ele is very fully illustrated. An oasis in snowy wilderness" is the phrase he employs in characterizing a certain bit of the antarctic land. Being still unwilling to advance into the unknown region before us while enshrouded in mist, we drew near a prominent noun tain peak to make debarkment. The tiff was q perpendicular cliff, free of snow to the seashore. It was one of number extending far into the south east, as we learned on the following day. We made debarkment at it's base Here was life in profusion, as indeed there was on every rock where life could gain a footing The noise from the birds, which re-echoed from cliff to cliff, was deafening The lower rocks were lined with snoring and grunting sea-leopards. Columns of Fapor rose above the water followed by a hiss like that of steam engine, and q second later the blue back of whale, with it's long fin and ponderous tail, lashed the water into feamy whirlpool. The great wall of 1and-ice rose to each side of the black cliff, which gave us a shelf as a landing place. From this wall came frequent sounds like the explosion of a cannon, which were followed by a splash and a commotion in the water. With such reports parts of the wall would con- stantly break away and fall into mil lion pieces, strewing the water with small fragments of ice, but not with icebefga Above Us rose a cliff to an altitude of about 2,000 feet; out from this were projecting mantel-like rocks, which served as resting places for the eormorants and sea=gulls. Here the young ones. dressed in gray down, eoaxed their mothers for food. We ex- pected to see the little things drop from their narrow resting places, to be de- stroyed on our heads or on the rocks below but such an accident rarely hap pened. Our greatest surprise here was the discovery of large quantities of moss and lichens, which gave the spot an unexpected appearance of yegeta- ble life and color After seeing noth- ing but ice and black rocks for so many days, this sight Of green and brown and red amid an endless expanse= of Icy Gesefe was a great relief It was so oat.l@ sse =--:t5

ToBoGGANINo IN CANADA.
A Winter sport That Is Greatly En-
 ioyed by All Glasses.

Tobogganing is one of the staple amusements in Canada. Sportsmen are not content with the naturally formed "ehutes" down the side of hill but construct artificial slides. These are generally wooden erections with the planes fixed at an angle of 45 de- grees, and with a sheer drop of about 100 feet Water is poured over the wooded declivity, which iE the frosty air is soon transformed into ice, with surface as slippery as glass. When the bottom of the chute is reached he track extends over fields in as straight 8 direction as possible, though in some cases net particularly level, but the momentum gained by the tobeggan in flying down the chute is sufficient so carry it over any slight uprisings Ill the ground The Canadian toboggan is a light, strong article, about five or six feet in length, and about % inches in width. com posed of a number of nar- row wooden strips secured longitudi- nally together, curling upward at the front. A handrai1 sometimes extends along each side Of the toboggan to en- able the passengers to hold on, but the general rule is for one passenger to clasp the person seated next in front. the whole row of travellers being thus linked together for their rapid flight. In some cases there are five or six oc- cupants in one toboggan, and with such a combined weight the sledge flies down the chute as if impelled from a cannon. Both men and women enter into the sport with great gusto, for the fun is fast and furious. When there is only one traveller to the toboggan he lies prone upon it, and in this manner, on account of the small amount of re- sistance that Is offered by the atnos- phere, the maximum of speed is gained. The chutes are properly controlled in order to avoid accidents. One tobog- gan is not permitted to leave the sum- init of the chute until the preceding one has cleared the bottom of the slide. Occasionally, by some misehance in- cured through faulty manipulation of the toboggan, spill occurs on the chute, and if a following toboggan were to dash into the overturned vessel the result would be relatively quite ss dis, astrous and terrible as a collision be- tween express trains.

SILLY VOWS YELL KEPT.
Artist Whose Masterpiece Was Due ts
 Oath He Took.

Artist Whose Masterpiece Was Due ts
 an Oath He Took,
 The French artist. Gericauld. was determined to allow no distraction to interfere with the painting of his treat picture, "The Wreck If the Medusa." ]" He had his head shaved and vowed that he would never allow his hair to grow until his work was done. This VOW he religious!y kept, in spite of strong temptation to break it, and the reward of his heroism was the most perfect painting of his life. A story is told of young man in E gland, great chess enthusiast, who was so annoyed at his failure to solve an ap- parently simple problem that he vowed he would neither sleep nor eat until the solution was found He shut him. self up in disused room and was found four days later by his relatives terribly emaciated and out of his mind. He spent year i'll the lunatic asylum as the result of his rash VOW; and the problem remains unsolyed. It was for very curious reason that an old lady, who died a few years ago. condemned herself to more than thirty years confinement to her house. She had married widower, as miserly as he was unromantic, and he insisted that his second wife should wear the clothes left behind her by his first wife. The wife was as mutinous as the husband was resolute, and she de- termined that until she could have her own clothes she would never leave the house-a VOW she kept until her death. Woman appears to be at the root of many eccentric vows. for it was a ha- tired of the sex that once impelled a well-known lawyer to swear that he would never speak to a woman again as long as he lived. Nothing would induce him to see a lady client, and he would never conduct case in which a woman appeared ..s witness. He never employed a female servant, and deliberately ''cut" all his lady aequain- tances. The inevitable result was that the men deserted him, his practice dwindled and he died, less than year ago. alone in squalid room.-Pitts- burg Dispatch.

Where People Drink Ether.

A curious vice has taken root In Eastern Prussia, where the people have taken to drinking ether. It is sold in the saloons like any other liquor, four or five ssammes to the glass. In the town of Memel alone, it is stated, the amount thus sold last year was about S.580 quarts. and in reality twice this amount was consumed, the rest being brought in by smugglers. The effect Is said to be four times more powerful than an equal amount of alcohol, aut it's continued use produces intolerable suffering and incurable lesions Of liver. kidneys and heart.
