THE HOLIDAYS OF THE FILIPINO.

TIE Gazette is in receipt of the
Christmas edition of the Manila Times,
and also the Freedom, of the same city.
The Times is very much like our
American newspapers. Its Christmas
issue consisted of 20 pages in which
the advertising and the news features
were In fair proportion, and has every
appearance of what might be termed
"a healthy existence.
In referring to the many difficulties
encountered in publishing modern
newspaper in the land of the Filipino,
the Times has this to say: "a lf
lone great difficulty is the oft-recvr.
ring holidays; no American on these
islands knows exactly how many of
them there are in the year. If one Of
the oompositors has headache he digs
up little calendar and proves con
clusivsly that this particular day ia a

the holidays, and it is impossible to-
make the average Filipino work when

Interested Parties Take Trip Over the
Route of the Proposed Road.
Wilmington parties interested in the
proposed trolley line from Wilmington
TO the Maryland line at Iron Hill were
IN Elktcn on Saturday. and, in COM
pany with Deegan & Co., the Phila-
delphIa contractors who will construct
the electric road between Elkton and
Chesapeake City, went over the pro-
posed line between Elkton and Chesa-
peake City.
1t is generally conceded that upon
the completion of the line between
Elkton and Chesapeake City the road
will push on to Iron Hill and will
there connect with the line out of Will
mington, which will pass through the
towns Of Newport. Stanton aud
Newark. Some Of the towns would

struotion of the line, it is thought,
would not be necessarily expensive,
and it would open up rich and

The exploration of the air by means
of balloons carrying self-registering
instruments is pursued with much Wig
or in Europe. On February 7th there
were simultaneous ascents from many
points extending from France to Aus
tria and Russia. One unnamed bal
loon near Paris reached an elevation
of 41,656 feet, not Lnuch short of eight
miles. The temperature of the air at
that height as shown by a self-regis-
tering thermometer, was 81 degrees
below zero, Fahrenheit. Another bal
LOGON near Berlin found the same tenn
perature at an elevation 10000 feet
less. These experiments are expected
to throw much light on the laws of
storms and of atmospheric circulation.

SYMPTOMS OF CONSUMPTION.

Now that the value of the open-air
treatment of consumption has been
demonstrated, the great Importance of
an early diagnosis of the disease is ev-
ident. Unfortunately, it is by no means
easy to recognize the disease in it's
incipiency, for the early symptoms are
not distinctive, and the cause of the
failing health Isl often not suspected
until the disease has become firmly es-
tablished. The symptoms calling at
tention especially to disease of the
lungs are generally late in appearing,
n the physicians suspicious will
usually have been aroused long before
there is any severe cough or profuse
e-Xpectoration. At first there is merely
a falling off in health; the person is
"a little below par" and his friends
remark that he is losing flesh. He is
not actually i'll, and his condition
causes him little anxiety, being attrib-
uted to a rush of work, or to worri-
ment caused by a business hitch or
some family trouble. But as time goes
on and the supposed cause of the

does not recover his strength; on the
contrary, the gradual decline continues
and a noticeable pallor appears. The
lips are blush, the eyes are abnor-
mally white, the pinkish hue of the
nails fade out, the mucous membrane
of the mouth is pale-in medical Ian
guage, the patient is anemic. This
pallor is a suspicious sign; an another
symptom of marked significance is a
rapid pulse, one that beats coRtinu-
ously ninety OF one hundred times a
minute. At this time there is usually

ELECTRIC GHOSTS"

DR.. Oliver J.. Lodge, in an address
to electrical engineers in Birmingham
on February 9th, thus defined an cleo
iron, that new term of science which
has recently assumed so much import
ance: An atom is ordinarily associated
with a charge, and force is required to
separate the charge from the atom.
The atom charge, when separated, is
called an electron. In an electrolyte,
/. E., a substance decomposed by an
electric current, there is a bodily trans
fer of atoms with the charges; in a
metallic conductor the charges are
handed on, as e~lectrons, from atom to
atom. In the discharge through high
ly rareffed gases the electric current
is in it's most simple form, "for here
there is a flow of electrons travelling
by themselves, of disembodied charges
or electric ghosts" Electrons, DR..
Lodge added, are the fastest moving
of all known terrestrial objects, their
speed being one-tenth that of light,
which is 1863 0 miles per second.

also, more or less fever, although it
may be so slight as to be detected only
by a frequent use of the thermometer.
a fourth symptom of Importance is in
creased p~erspiration, usually most
marked in the first hours after mid
nlght-night sweats-but sometimes
troublesome in tie daytime as well.
Cough during this period is as often
absent as present, and in any case is
seldom than a ervou hacking:
later it becomes more persistent, and
some expectoration appears. But by
this time the physician can generally
detect signs of lung trouble by an ex-
animation of the chest and the discov-
cry of tubercle bacilli when the ex-
perforated matter is studied under the
microscope will remove all doubts as
the nature of the malady. Of course
one who has persistent anemia, a
rapid pulse, night sweats, and perhaps
fever, is not necessarily in the early
stages of consumption, although there
is ground for suspicion. Even if he is,
however, there need be no excessive
alarm, for the disease at this stage is
almost positively durable, and it's early
detection is therefore a blessing.

DRINK WATER FOR STIFF NECK.

DRINK ATE FOR STIFF NECK.
THE simplest temporary cure for a
stiff neck or any similar attack of the
known physician to a Washington Star
reporter, lis the very free drinking of
water. A large glass full of water
every half hour or even oftener, should
be taken and the treatment kept up for
at least half a day. This, it must be
remembered, only cures the effects and
unless it is kept up for a long time
will hardly get at the cause, which
Is now generally understood to be an
excess of uric acid in the blood. The
cause of a very large amount of water
has a tendency to dilute the blood and
increase the supply of the lubricants
about the sheaths of the muscles. 1t
is the deficiency of those lubricants
that produces what are known as stiff
necks, stiff shoulders and the like.
Nearly all of the so-called mineral wa
tiers can be used and those that have
lime, iron, potash, lithia or sodium
should be preferred if they are handy,

or spring, can be used. The point is to

dilute the blood as rapidly as possible.

h~esitancy in doing SO if from thirty to

tity of it, must be drunk. Six hours

MONEY EASY
IN BERLIN
Market Shows Better Tone and
Increased Strength.
COMMENT OF FlNANCIERS
REVIEWS SAY IMPROVEMENT Is
NOT JUSTIFIED.

Berlin, Dec. Increased confidence
and further gains were noticeable on
the hcgrse during the last week. It
was the best week in many months, all
departments scoring advances.
The German financial reviews ex-
plain the Improvements on the bourse
in various ways. They all agree, how
ever, that the domestic and Industrial
situation does not warrant this i'm
provement. Among the causes named
as responsible for the weeks ameliora-
ton is the great abundance of money,
the forthcoming fiotation of numer-
Gus domestic, foreign and state loans
ushering in an era of greater activity
for the banks Of emission, and the es-
pecially strong American iron market
This market is giving unusual strength
to German iron shares. These have
also prOfited from the expected reduc-
ton in the price of coal, which was
announced yesterday and which
amounts, in most grades, to / mark
per ton. The reduction in coal also
prOhted the coal shares, though to a
less degree than the other depart
ments.
The reports from the United States
exercise an especially strong influence
on the market. The BOersen Courier
says these reports constituted the mar
ket's chief impulse, and points to the
excessive optimism shown by German
speculat0 OTIS, saying il is a fact that
German iron shares since the recent
improvement have risen more than
United States Steel. The other papers
attempt to dampen this excessive Op-
timism and refer to the continued dis
couraging reports from the iron trade
News from the Lorraine and Luxem-
burg districts represent business there
as growing worse. The Cologne Ca
zette says the demand for plates has
improved and that producers believe
the depression has reached its extreme
limit.
American securities were apparently
neglected. The money market was
the easiest known for years; call loans
reached L per cent. It was at times
almost impossible to place money, and
the abundance of money made the
monthly settlement extremely easy.
The Frankfurter Zeitung believes that
the rates for money Will continue to be
low and that the improvement in the
market is likely to continue.
