THE SPARTAN JAPS.
Instances of Their Wonderful Endur-

plicity. They can go long time
without food. The coolies perform
marvellous feats of strength and en-
durance; they draw Il "jinrilisha"
all day or carry travellers over the
steepest mountains. Every summer
a colony of foreigners go to Mount
Hei-eiHan, near Kioto. Their camp
is several miles up the steep noun
tain side, but early each morning the
Japanese bring up the mail, fresh
vegetables and milk, and women often
carry trunks to the summit on their
heads. In the upper classes the old
"sumarai" ideals inculcated endur-
ance, courage and simplicity. A
writer in a recent magazine com
ments upon the seven years train
ing of the Japanese officer. This is
the preparation of second lieuten-
ant; but ii is merely II continuation
under modern methods, of the old
"sumarai" requirements. The fact
that the japanese is one of the best
soldiers in the world, and one of the
toughest, is not such "A great cause

the adoption of np-to-date weapons

for power on great water fall. The
new machinery provides no power

MANY LEPERS FOUND
Consul Reports Disease Almost Epi-
demic in Canary Islands.
Three Distinct Classes of Leprosy
ON TeneriFe Island. One of the
Group-Eating Putrid Fish ana
UncIeRnness the Cause, sak..s.

The existence of about 200 lepers
on the island of Teneriffe, Canary
islands, has been officially reported
at Washington by United States Con-
sui Berliner, at Teneriffe. He saws
there are three distinct classes of
leprosy on Teneriffe island, namely.
lepra arabum, lepra elephantiasis and
lepra tuberculosis. The disease di-
verges into two main varieties, the
spotted and the noduar. The report
is based on personal investigation
and assistance of physicians and
says:
''Leprosy is somewhat endemic
among people here, on account of
their eating a good deal of fish. often
putrid, and their general uncleanli-
ness.
"As to being contagious, it is gener-
ally discredited here. but in my opin-
ion it is very infectious. In former
years Spain had established colony
at Grand Canary for lepers. They
were housed there, but had perfect
liberty to wander about. with the re-
striction that they must sleep at the
houses built for them. In course of
time this law became a dead letter.
and gradually they spread over the
different islands.
AT Santa Cruz de Teneriffc, the
capital, there are (from personal
knowledge) % leperS, Is of whom are
men. and there also are some chill
dren of these unfortunates. They
are given a place about Is minutes
from the city hall, where they live,
which is called Barranco Santo.
There are also living at the same
place about 200 people besides, near
ly all beggars. You meet them at
all times of the day in town or road,
asking aims and exposing their
limbs Many have no fingers or toes,
and they hobble along, and more
pitiabe sight is hard to imagine.
"Officially it is not recognized that
leprosy exists on these islands.
"The provincial government at
Tenerit'e has lately built large
building about two miles out of town.
The building has two separate wings,
one for insane patients and the other
for lepers."
United States Consular Agent
Swanston, on Grand Canary island,
in an accompanying report says that
leproSy there is decidedly decreasing.
There are 80 patients in the lepers'
hospital at Las Palmas. \ few fam
lies infected with the disease live in
their own homes.

This fund was established in honor

AN ALUMINIUM TONGUE.
May Enable Champion, the BrOokJyn
Preaching Policeman, to Cor

William H. Champion. the "preach-
ing policeman" may still live to ad-
dress his audiences directly by the
help of an aluminium tongue instead
of by means of phonographic're
of his lectures, which he made in an
ticipation of a life without speech.
Science has done it's best for the
man who expected to lose his tongue
by an operation, and physicians who
cut out part of that member in the
Seney hospital, Brooklyn, hold out
hopes that the patient will live to
talk and to relinquish his claim to be
known as 1.-THE silent lecturer"
Lectures traced on the waXen rolls
of the phonograph must for some
months tell his story from the plat
form while he stands beside the ma
chine unable to make other than
cultural and husky sounds, but in
time it is believed That the nerves
will gain control of the muscles in
the stump just as they formerly con
trolled the tip of the tongue, which is
now gone, and that the lecturer will

There will be slight oddity about his
speech, the surgeons say, but it will
be clear and intclligible
A wrll-known surgeon said the other
evening that "A French savant had per-
fected an artificial tongue of alum
mum which was almost as useful as
the original member, and Champion
may make use of this device.

occasionally person is found
eggs" says bulletin issued by the
agricultural department, just as
there are those who cannot eat
Strawberries without distress. Such
cases are due to some personal idio-
syncrasy, showing in reality that
'one mans meat is another mans
poison A satisfactory explanation
of such idiosyncrasy seems to be
lacking
"Overindulgence in eggs, as in the
case with other foods, may induce in
digestion or other bad effects. Fur
thermore, under certain conditions,
egs may be the cause of illness by
communicating some bacterial dis
ease or some parasite. 1t is possible
for an egg to become infected with
micro-organisms, either before it is
laid or after. The shell is porous and
offers no greater resistance to micro
organisms which cause disease than
it does to those which cause the egg
to spoil.
"When the infected egg is eaten
raw, the micro-organisms. if present,
are communicated to the man and
may cause disease. If an egg re
mains in the nest in which are found
the micro-organisms which cause
typhoid fever, it is not strange if
some of these bacteria occasionally
penetrate the shell and the egg thus
becomes a source of infection.
Perhaps one of the most common
troubles, due to the bacterial infec-
tion of eggs. is the illness caused by
eating those which are not fresh.
This often resembles ptomaine poi
soning, which is caused. not by tIe
micro-organisms themselves, but. Iy
the poisonous products which they
elaborate from materials on which
they grow. Judged by the compar L.
lively small number of cases of in
fection, or poisoning, due to eggs, re-
ported in medical literature. the dan
ger of disease from this source is not
great"

A portion of Butte, Mont, believed
to embrace the larger part of the big
hill upon which some of the Anacon-

perceptibIe movement southwest
ward during the past few days. At
the foot of the Anaconda hill the
slide pushed the tracks of the street
railway line about six inches for a
distance of about 300 feet along the
road As there are no large build

men claim that the entire range of
mountains about Butte is constantly
moving and that the sliding process
has been going on for ages.
