LEPERS IN JAPAN.
From the lanan Gazette. |

From the Japan Gazette
According to the latest investiga'
tions made by the authorities there are
about 10000 lepers in the country and
those who have blood connections
with the lepers number some 100000.
There are the well.known leper viii
lagos in the neighborhood OF the Sci
ssoko temple in Kumamoto Prefecture
where lepers from different parts Of
the country are attracted owing to the
superstition that by devout prayers at
the temple leprosy will be cured.
There is also a village in EbAra dis
trict. Tokyo Prefecture. the whole pop.
ulation OF which consists of lepers and
their families. Almost in every pre-.
lecture there are one or two such
places where lepers congregate for
residence. As there is a tendency III
the dreadful disease gradually to eX-
tend. the matter was made subject
OF discussion at the conference OF the
Chiefs of Police recently held in To.
kyo. II seems that. with the cXcep.
ton of two or three procedures, no
strict control Is enforced against she
lepers and as this state of affairs no
doubt tends to cause the spread of the
disease the sanitary authorities pro.
pose henceforth to adopt vigorous
measures for the control OF lepers.

An appliance has been perfected In
San Francisco for saving the fine -four
like and microscopic values in gold and
platinum contained in sands and gravel
beds. The process is the invention OF
+. NJ. Johson. says the Scientific Am.
erican. The appliance is purely me-
chanical in nature. using neither chem
icals, plates nor magnets. and in APP
pearance resembles an ordinary sluice
box. Each one has capacity of about
three tons of sand per hour. and the
devices are now being operated in bat
teries of from ten up. The cost of
operating is merely that involved in
putting the sand and water into the
appliances. Each one requires in the
neighborhood Of FIVE inches of water.
Salt water is as efficient as fresh. As
there are thousands of miles OF beach
sand carrying high values of both gold
and platinum, II will be readily appre-
ciated that this is a great advantage.
The first field test was made on the
beach at Aptos. Cal. with a continuous
run for thirty days, at the rate of three
tons of sand per hour. The device saw.
ed not only all the fine gold and pla-
tinum. but the coarse gold as well. At
the present time two plants are in aC-
tual operation, and others. aggregat-
ing over two thousand of these appli-
anCes, are In the process of construc-
ton.

the Hon. James Dunsmuir M. p. Premier

timated at being worth from 10000 to

muir to waive her rights to contest the

ATROPHY OF THE OPTIC

BALTIMORE. Jan. 20. - United States
Senator Money of Mississippi. who for the
past two years has been rapidly losing his
eyesight, stated here today that under a
new method of treatment he has entirely
recovered the use of one eye, and the
other is much improved
He is being treated by Dr. H. F. Carey,
Moneys trouble was atrophy Of the optic
nerve, which almost invariably ends in
total blindness. DR.. Carey used a ma
chine he has perfected.
The principle or idea is to stimulate the
nerves. which is done by continued for
ward and backward movement of the eye
ball. to which they are fastened. This
oscillation is caused by atmospheric pres
sure in vacuum eye cups placed over the
eyes and attached to the machine.
When the vacuum is created there is
necessarily slight outward movement Of
the ball. Contrary to what might be sup
posed, the method is absolutely painless
and perfectly harmless; the, reverse being
true, as a delightful sensation is expert
enced while the method is being applied.
and the sight benefited by the first appli-
cation
Senator Money says he had consulted
eminent eye specialists in this country
and Europe and had almost despaired of
a cure. The new method will, it is thought
here. revolutionize the treatment of
chronic interocular diseases.
1t has been adopted at the Wills Eye
Hospital and the University of Pennsyl-
vania Hospital in Philadelphia.

ly there was a crash of falling walls, a
great cloud of black and white dust, aud
then the leaping, roaring flames crept
through the mass of merchandise. wooden
beams, and other combustible material.
So great was the explosion that the roof
of one of the buildings was blown upside
down and landed half a block away on
the steep incline leading from Jefferson
Avenue toward the river. The buildings
were very. old.

DISTRICT BILLS in COMMITTEE.
Measure in Reference to Arrearage
Taxes Under Discussion.

The subcommittee on judiciary of the
House District Committee met yesterday
and considered two local bills.
One measure was to authorize the Com
missioners to receive arrearages OF taxes
at per cent per annum. Assessor Dar-
nellie and District Attorney Duvall were
some time ago before the committee and
discussed the subject, with the result that
they were requested to draw up a bill to
bring about the speedy settlement of de-
linquent taxes.
The bill suggested provides that any
one buying tax sale property shall receive
a certificate. which. if not redeemed by
the owner of the property in two years.
entities the holder Of the certificate to
a deed to the premises.
In these sales the District is placed on
the same footing as any other purchaser.
and shall have the right to buy in the
property. which may be sold again at the
expiration of two years to the highest
bidder. the purchase prices, however. not
to be less than the amount of accrued
taxes, with interest and cost.
And such sales shall not be advertised
for thirty days, as now required.
The subcommittee also directed Chair
man Jenkins to report favorably his bill
to amend that section OF the District
code relating to jury service in the Dis
trict. and also amending section 1910 by
adding the following:
Nor shall the provisions OF chapter 50
Of this code nor any other provisions
thereof in any manner affect the term,
tenure, or compensation of any person FILL
ing any office or appointment under laws
existing prior to its passage, but such
persons shall continue in the exercise Of
the duties of such office, according to
their respective commissions and ap-
pointments. except as is otherwise pro-
vided in said code"
Mr.. Jenkins will call the bill up next
Monday, which is District day in the
House.
