The Egyptian government has decid-
ed that all Egyptian pilgrims to Mecca
next year must accompany the Holy
Carpet which is sent every year from
Cairo to Mecca with military escort.
Doctors will accompany the pilgrims.
1t is hoped that this measure will not
only minimize the risk OF disease
among the pilgrims, but will also great
ly lessen the danger Of their introduc-
ing an epidemic into Egypt.

HARD ROW FOR JOHNSON.
Nearly $50 Contests IN Ohio Demo
cratic Contention.

Columbus Ohio, Aug. 23.-The close contest
between Mayor Johnson Of Cleveland and John
l. Zimmerman of Springfield. for the nomina
tion for Governor has caused more interest in
the Democratic state Convention here this week
than in any for many years. While each says
that he has majority the result depends on
the settlement of contests involving 145 dele
gates. These contests are expected TO prevent
two Congress districts at Cincinnati and one at
Cleveland from participating in the selection Of
members of the committees. so that th2 commit
tee on credentials may have only eighteen mem
bers voting on the first contest that is passed
upon.
WITH the custom of taking the contests in
alphabetical order that CT Cuyahgga County

In favor OF Johnson, 50 that there would be nine

RADIUM TREATMENT FOR THE BLIND.
Girl Who Never Saw Notices Light and
Motion. 1t Is Said

As the result OF an experiment Of Dr.. 4 f Jen-
kins Of the Marine Hospital Service. and William
J. Hammer. electrical engineer. Of this city. in
using q combination of radiUn and Y rays. Lille
Spitznadel. eleven years old who has been totally
blind since she three years old, is said. has
been enabled 10 see slightly. -Four days ago the
experiment tried. and DR.. jenkins says thar
since then she has been able 10 distinguish moving
objects and discern ordinary electric lights at night
The experiment VIII not be repeated if the child
continues TO improve. The radium used in the
pertinent was Of I0oo 600 and 1000 radio activity
but if it should be necessary to repeat the expert
ment radiunl Will be employed Of greatly increased
radio activity.
The treatment consisted in placing seven tubes
of radum in small boxes against the forehead,
base Of the brain and temples OF the child, and
then the Y ray and the radum We're tried in con
junction. The child had only . mOmentary sensa-
ton Of light An hour later. however, when Dr.
Fifty-uinth-St. car. she said she saw something
passing. Since then she has been able times to
discern lights and moving OBJECTS, it Is declared
DR.. Jenkins says that nothing is claimed from
the experiment except that the child. who
totally blind has been enabled TO discern lights
and moving objects the result OF the stimua Jion
OF radiuu used in conjunction with the ray. The
treatment may prove 70 be a cure for blindness
and il may not. and il is desired raise hopes
in the minds of the blind that cure for their
afflictiOu has been found. 1t would not be neces-
sary to treat the child again in all probability If
she continued 10 improve. but if she did the
pertinent would be repeated along the same lines.

1t will be seen from this tatIe that the decreases
were comparatively unimporJant. and were found
only in few countries. The most striking feature
is the very large gain in the United States. which
amounted 70 over half the total inc ease Our coun-
try last year produced approximately 40 per cent OF
all the pig iron made in the world its total OUTPUT
exceeded by nearly 100000 tons the united pro
ducton Of Great Britain and Germany. which come
next in order as producers
The British production shows fair increa-e
about per cent over the low figure ched in 7g0
hut il was still considerably below the maximum
production Of over 100000 which was reached
in 1851 The improvement in the British trade was
largely due 10 a greater EXPORT business; and this
may be traced 10 the enormous home business done
in the United States. The demands Of domestic
consumption compelled American manufacturers to
withdrawn from competition for foreign orders.
which made considerable figure in our trade two
and three years ago: and also forced them i'm
port considerable quantities OF raw iron from Eu-
rome.
Germany last year also showed decided improve
ment over 1901 and It's production approached very
close TO that Of Great britain As the Of the
United Kingdom, the German trade largely
benefited by increased export demand. the i'm
provement in home trade being very mode-a'e only

SCHUAB And L. S. STEEL.
Contract Proliding for His Return,
1t Is Said.

Pittsburg Aug. D Special. Charles NJ s,hvab
has been quoted saying At Atlantic CITY that
II ne recovered his health he would resume the
presidency of the United States Steel Corporal ton
This IS probable. in the face OF the agreement he
has with J. Pierpont Morgan and the controlling
interests in that concern Mr. Schvab resigned
with the understanding that he could again as
sumo his former position If ne wished; hence he
selected the one man 10 succeed him whom he
could trust TO keep the berth secure until he was
ready 10 return.
" hen the question arose 10 whether Mr.. Frick
or Mr.. ochwab was 20 control the destiuies Of the
steel coInoine. Mr.. Carnegie demanded the eIec-
uoh OF Alr Schwab- It Is said that contract was
me poSI-lon LOT Hye years at a salary Of $4,000
year When Andrew Carnegie learned thar his
laForlte was to receive only DalJry $4,000. he
sad ne would m4he the sum an even S.,vv,tsst by
10000.
Mr.. Carnegie also made arrangements for Just
such contingencies as have recently arisen. An
Schwab fail in health through any cause have
70 rehnquish the presidency, Mr. Carnegie should
name Mr.. Schwabs successor.
Mr. Carnegie has evidently not lost his interest
in Mr. SchWab. The latter selected his old work
ing partner, Mr.. Corey to take up the reirs be
cause they understood each other better than any
other officials of the Steel Corporation
Corporation, had been OF Mr.. Carnegie's young
partners. Yet AIr Corey was selected over him as
it would be another question for man ike Mr
Gayey TO step down into the first vice-presidency

FOR four days the officials OF the water company
ard expert engineers from New-York and Phila-

that il was ready 10 begin operations. The news
that purified water in the city mains spread
rapidly through the city, and thousands Of town
people visited the plant.
