OISINFECTiNG A SHIP.
Moist Heat, a Thorough Germicidnl
Agent, Is Used.

When the vessel has tied up to the
wharf in New Orleans, the first step is
the removal of the bedding, clothing
and cushions and other cloth fabrics to
the quarantine shed. Here they are
hung on framework consisting OF
series Of racks suspended from long
car running on track and so arranged
that when the racks are filled the
whole thing may be run inside one OF
the three great disinfccting cylinders
with which the station is equipped.
These cylinders are enormous steel
boilers fifty feet in length by eight feet
in diameter and fitted inside with con-
tinuous coils of steam pipe. The cylin-
ders are covered with aSbestus and
swathed in felt and when the cylinder
caps are on they are alright. When
the clothing has been placed inside and
the cylinders closed. dry heat is forced
through the pipes at temperature OF
$50 degrees, and this is followed by
moist heat raised to temperature OF
go degrees. The pressure of from six
to eight pounds put upon this steam
heat is sufficient to force it through
heavy mattresses or bundles of cloth
ing.
After period which varies from
thirty minutes to an hour the cylinders
are opened, the racks are run out. and
the rapid evaporation which follows
causes the clothing to dry almost I'M
mediately. The clothing is unframed
by this process, and the moist heat is
thorough germicidal agert. 1t is an in
tcrcstng fact that il a freshly laundcr-
ed linen shirt or collar is put into the
cylinder 1t will emerge thoroughly
moist and apparently in need of anoth-
err starching. The evaporation is SO rap
id, however. that it is Immediately re-
stored to its original condition, not
even the gloss being removed.-Lesle's

YOKOHAMA BY NIGHT.
Lantern illumination Makes the City
Akin to Fairyland.

A row of paper lanterns in the black
shadow of a wall is the first impress
sion the newly arrived traveller has Of
Yokohama as he steps from his sam
pan" on to the wharf at night.
The lanterns hang low and almost
motionless but at the word 'ricksha w"
they begin to sway, and with silent.
almost rhythmical movement they
come rushing toward him. a moment
later he discovers that each lantern is
attached to rickshaw. which offers
for less than half yen an hour to con-
vey him anywhere his fancy may lead
him. But 90 where he will the lantern
is always there. dangling and swayinS
and dmly flashing.
The lantern on the rickShaw is Il
characteristic detail Of the night pic
ture of Yokohama. 1t is n series Of
brilliant daShes of color under cloud
less, starlit sky, famed by soft
breeze which seems half of the sea and
half of the tropics, with smiling, doll
like people gliding about everywhere.
1t hardly seems real. 1t isn't fairyland
exactly, because falrleS are nOt sup
posed to be always as picturesque as
are these Japanese. Certain ii is that
few things anywhere in the round
world can be more beautiful than IAN
tern lighted Yokohama.
AS the occidental crosses the bridge
over the canal from the foreign quar-
ter and enters the native city he sees
Il bcwildcring maze of lights. Through
out Yokohama gas lamp posts are few
and far between. a fact which makes
the lantern illumination al iLe more
conspicuous. They are not hung at reg
ular heights or intervals. but make Il
sort Of tangle Of soft coIored lights
over the front of the buildings and
even across the street.-New York Mail
and Express.
