The Chicago health department pre-
diets an increase of diphtheria and kin
dred diseases owing to the unusual
climatic conditions of the past summer.
In the following statement a sugges-
ton is made which may be adopted
with advantage.
Diphtheria threatens to be more prev
alent and fatal this fall than at any
time since its treatment by anti-toxin
was begun In Chicago some seven years
ago. Twenty deaths were reported
from this cause last week, as against
twelve for the corresponding week last
year. This two-thirds increase in the
number of deaths is made more signifi-
cant by the increasing frequency with
which the diphthcria bacillus is found
in the labratory examinations-an in
crease amounting to more than IS per
cent during the last two weeks.
1t is not only the diphtheria organism
but the germs of nearly all the infec-
tious and contagious diseases that show
an increase. Pneumonia, influenza
and scarlet fever germs especially are
found with increasing frequency.
The department is not authorized to
treat any disease except smallpox lin
all cases) and diphtheria among the
destitute. But it is the duty to pre-
vent disease 1t knows that the inhal-
alton of fomaldehyde gas will prevent
a large proportion Of cases of diseases
which now threaten the public health.
For few cents any druggist will fur

Raleigh's Burial Place.

The question of Sir Walter Raleigb's
burial place has lately been revived in
England. Three churches claim both the
head and body of the gallant courtier.
Immediately after the execution. which

on October %, 1913, his wife placed the
head in red bag and rode off with il in

MOUNTAINS ON VENUS.
A German Astronomer Says There are
Big Ones.

The star gazers are continually seeing
new wonders in the worlds that sur
round this one. OF course the great
mass of the public, having no means of
verifying or disputing successfully the
statements of the mem of science, are
obliged to accept them as true. With
Mars and its intricate system of canals,
If not its actual inhabitants, thanks to
the delicate Investigations of late years,
everybody is pretty we'll acquainted.
Now Herr Arendt. who is a German
and therefore not n trifler, announces the
discovery of mountains ON Venus. To
observers hitherto the planet has seemed
wrapped in an impenetrable envelope Of
cloud, which, when near the earth is the
cause of its astonishing brilliancy, but
Herr Arendt, who has had the instru-
ments in the Urania Observatory at Ber-
lin to work with, considers that he has
detected markings on Venus which indi-
cate the presence of great elevations
seen from time TO time through the
clouds surrounding it,
Novel as the suggestion is ii is but a
revival of an old idea. Long ago Schre-
ter fancied he saw evidences of noun
tains on Venus in the raggedness of the
terminatOr-that is, the line where the
light and shade meet, such as the inner
line of the crescent moon. He went 80
far as to measure them and announced
that they were twenty-five miles high.
But then no one believed him--ChicagO

She did not say it then; but looked

fusion. He bent and kissed her cheek.
and she flushed and trembled at the
caress, even while its brother ike tamil
iarity made it bitter sweet.
1t was a strange Christmas eve. There
could be no attempt to pass it in .accus-
toned pleasures. In Sheila's pretty
chamber, a fair young girl lay-dying,
perhaps-and that by deed OF relentless
cruelty.
Sheila went early to the room pre-
pared for her in place of that given up
to the stranger. She took off the dainty
evening frock she had put on with such
happy anticipations. Her heart was
aching now, with a dull heavy pain.
Dare had come; and woman, young and
lovely. had filed all his Thoughts. Sheila
had been scarcely needed. For that WON
an, she had pity deep and sender, but
none the less sharp was her new grief.
Chill disappointment had come to her
instead of hopes realized
She put on warm dressing gown, and
loosened the coils of her brown hair, and
then she went quietly along the corridor
to the room where the stranger lay.
Her own sirlish ornaments and "trip
peries were thrust aside fer the dreary
paraphernalia of sick room. The doc
tor sat beside the fire, and Mrs. Inglesant
at the bedside. In the shaded light, the
| figure in the pretty white bed was almost
| CHASTITY in its stiffness; but the pale
beauty of the marble features, the fair
curls scattered on the pillow, spoke of
life, not death.
Sheila was sent amay-to sleep, with
every hope for good news on awakening,
Mrs. Inglesant said Sleep was very far
from Sheila's eyes that night-as far as
it was from Dare's; and never perhaps,
had either heard the Christmas bells ring
out with feelings so strangely mingled
and so deeply stirred.

The plot was ia two parts. The
other part was TO be executed by a
Confederate officer named Cole. He
had made the acquaintance of the Off
GERS of the Michigan and they had con-
scented TO take supper with him ON the
evening of this day. He proposed to
drug them, or in some way detain
them from their boat; a signal would
inform Beall of his success; the Michi-
gan would be attacked and taken by
surprise; n cannon shot over the island
would inform the prisoners that their
time had come; and the rest would be
easy.
1t was a well-laid plot, and only
failed through Coles want of caution.
Suspicious were aroused by his actions
and instead of supping with him that
night the commander of the Michigan
sent n squad ashore and arrested him.
Beall saw that his plot had failed. as
hour after hour passed without the
signal being given. and in his despera-
tion he urged his crew to go with him
risk. But their spirit was not equal to
his, and they refused. Near midnight
Beall caused the Parsons to he put
about and run FOR the Canadian shore,
where the boat was scuttled and the
crew disbanded.
Like all of his kind. this man was
bold to rashness. He had been seen
by so many Americans ON this expedi-
ton who perfectly remembered his
face, that 1t would seem perfect folly
for him to venture over the border
alone. But he did in the following
January, and was recognized and taken
near Suspension Bridge. He was con-
veyed to New York. where General Dix
ordered his trial before Il military com
mission. on charges of piracy and be
ing spy, He was defended by James
I. Brady. more from desire that he
should have every reasonable chance
than from any sympathy with him or
his crimes. On this trial an extraordi-
nary paper was produced from Jcf'cr-
son Davis, aVoWing the acts for which
they had been done by authority of the
Confederate government But he was
convicted, and sentenced to be hung.
There was never any doubt as to the
justice of his conviction and sentence.
The man who goes in disguise into the
enemy's country to levy war by stealth
always takes his life in his hand. and
must expect to lose 1t If discovered.
And this kind of war is ahhc"rent 10
all civilized nations.
President Lincoln was. as usual.
earnestly appealed to for mercy: but
Bealrs offense had been too fragrant,
the consequences of success would
have been too disastrous to permit the
President now TO interfere. He con.
scented, however, 10 delay the execu.
ton for week, to allow the mother of
the condemned man to visit him. ON
the afternoon of Feb. -, 1865, John Y.
Beall was hung at Governors Island
He met his fate bravely-as men en-.
gagged in bad enterprises have done in
all ages Of the world.
After the assassination Of TIE. Presi
dent and the death of the assassin. the
story was set afioat that Booth was an
intimate friend Of Beall, and that the
principal motive of the horrld crime
was revenge for the execution of his
friend. The story has not been gen
orally believed, but it is impossible to
say that there is no truth in 1T. II.
