Bronchitis and pneumonia are now

picture of the present conditions in
Brittany are expressed in these few
words, more tragic in their simplicity
than the most eloquent rhetoric.

The stream of sufferers must set his
way and whatever fortune he de-
manded would be his.
Or he could give the secret to the
world. that humanity might benefit
freely. retaining nothing for himself.
He chose the latter course.
The present queen of England,
when on one of her annual visits to
her father, old King Christian, in
Copenhagen, heard of the treatment,
had it examined into, and as a result
arranged for establishing an institute
in London
The empress of Russia sent a com
mission of scientists to inquire into
the matter. with the result that an
! institute was established at st.
Petersburg also.
Both of these transplanted insti-
tutes have thrived beyond all expecta-
ton. Although continuously enlarged,
they can not keep pace with the ex-
] traordinary demands upon them.
Some of London's greatest philanthro-
pists are now rivaling one another in
endowing lamps in these institutions.
Meanwhile DR.. Finsen has made i'm
provements in his methods. Sunlight,
not always available and not1subject
to regulation. has been discarded in
favor of electricity. Y"
He has gradually increased the
power of his electric lamp from 25
amperes up to SO, to 70 and to so
amperes, about three times the in
tensity of the ordinary street arc
lamps. He has substituted rock
crystal for glass in his lenses, and

| PARIS, Feb. ia famine such as
has not been known since the six
teenth century now exists in Brittany,
one Of the most populous regions of
Europe. where fully 100000 people
| are lacking bread. The sardine fish
cries were unproductive, last year,
| and the potato crop was a failure, so
the inhabitants of the Breton coast
found themselves without earnings
at the beginning OF the winter. For
time the few dollars which they
had succeeded in boarding up kept
the wolf from the door; then trades
men were generous and sold meat
and bread on credit. But now, in
February. with money gone, with
credit exhausted, 10000 families are
face to face with starvation in all
it's terrors.
Although Brittany is to a certain
extent agricultural, the Bretons use
the products of their fields merely
for their own consumption, depend
ing upon the sardine fisheries. last
ing from May until October each
year. to bring them in ready money.
On an average. they do not make
more than 800 in the season, and
in the most successful years they
never clear more than 1850 From
this 1t may be imagined how little
they can put aside. especially as the
Bretons, unlike the natives Of the
other French provinces, has usually
large family.

early spring the Bretons. short of
funds. are generally compelled to get

expect to make. even those SO fortu-

FOR SPECIAL BRIDGE.

At the meeting of the finance COM
mittee of the city council in ]. e.
Fosters office last night a discussion
arose over a proposition by Acting
Mayor Woydt that Jay p. Graves be
required to construct Il special bridge
over the north channel of the river
if he is granted the street car fran
chise which he asks.
Mr.. Woydt offered no objection to
the Graves line running single
track across the steel bridge on the
south channel providing it be built
far enough on the west side to leave
II feet clear.
After lively discussion the com
mittee agreed to recommend that the
company be given the privilege of
building double tracks across both
bridges. 1t was decided to increase
it's bonds from $4,000 to $4,000.

Away back in the time of Queen
Elizabeth certain doctors loudly pro-
claimed the value of red curtains, red
globes and red coverlets about the
beds of smallpox patients as cure.
They were regarded as charlatans.
But science has gone forward, and
now the red light treatment is recog-
nized everywhere as sufficient to pre-
vent soaring.
This is important. but it only opens
the way to discoveries more import
ant still concerning the influence of
light upon the bacteria of the human
skin. 1t furnishes the suggestion and
the basis for the experiments of DR..
Niels Finsen of Copenhagen, which
have resulted in the new science of
phototherapy. that in it's marvellous
results is amazing the world.
From the little laboratory of a
humble Danish doctor has come a
curative agency that has now reach
ed to great institutions in London
and st. Petersburg and is spreading
on throughout all Europe and our own
country.
The simple means used is light.
The age of miracles is not yet past.
Lupus, a chronic tubercular ex-
crescence spreading in ulcerous
patches over the skin, is not SO COM
mon in this country as in some 9TH
ers. In Denmark it is the most dread
of all diseases. Where it gained foot
hold it disfigured for life. There was
no cure. When it came hope fled
And it came to uncounted thousands
DR.. Finsen came and cured it with
some light cast through blue water
and a piece of glass.
He did what doctors and surgeons
laughed at as a mad impossibility
The same chemical rays that must
be Stunned in smallpox were found
to hold a cure for the other dread
malady, lupus.
DIR. Finsen had discovered that the
bactericidal action of light is due al
most entirely to the blue, the violet
| and the ultra-violent rays. and that
the effect is greatly increased by TO-
cussing the light through lenses.
All skin diseases were within the
range Of DR.. Finsen's treatment. For
instance, there was a variety Of bald
| ness due to bacteria which, it was
reasonable to think. might be cured
| by the chemical rays. And the most
| common form of cancer also seemed
to fit the conditions. The possibilities
were beyond comprehension.
And now. with stupendous SUCCESS

 Distinguished Soprano, Engaged.
 The first concert of the series of 190S- \ will be given by the Dorscht lodge or chestra at the Hyperion theater Mo- vember 29 under the direction of Frank Fiohtl. This will open the eighteenth consecutive year of Dorscht concerts in this city, The orchestra performing the concerts has grown from a small band of eighteen instruments to a com plete orchestra of fifty skilled musi- cians, and the programmes have devel- Dped from marches, waltzes and Ger man songs to movements from sym phonies, operatic selections and repre- Eentatives of the highest class of mu- sic, relieved by modern musical com edy scores so popular at this time. The programmes are always characterized by dignity and are never cheap or friv- dlous. During the years the Dorscht lodge has been giving these concerts the audiences have grown from the if teen or so personal friends of the per- formers to assemblages that tax the capacity of the Hyperion.
 The soloist for the first concert will be Mrs. Margaret Scheben, of New York, well-known metropolitan con- cert soprano and pupil of Professor Max Trauman, of that city.
 For the orchestral numbers one or two novelties are promised, the more pretentious pieces being Weiber's over lure to Freischeutz, the selection from the Princess of Kensington" and a number from Victor Herberts latest success, Babes in Toyland."
 The subscribers will be notified by circular letter of the opening of the box office for their selection of reserved course tickets early this week. The subscribers sale opens November 23 and the public sale on the 18th. The prices will be the same as usual, 25 and b5 cents. ,a-

CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH,

The theme of the discourse delivered Sunday morning by the pastor, Rev. W. ?. Dickerrnan was "The Kingdom of God" founded on the Scripture text in Matthew iv. 23: And Jesus went about all Galilee teaching in their syna- gogues and preaching the gospel of the Kingdom, and healing all manner of
 sickness and all manner of disease among the people" ...r The pastor first related briefly his ex-
 Derience in a recent Universalist min isters' meeting. where the most press ing needs of the church were earnestly considered, and stated that several in-
 spring and encoura ging plans for the
 extension of our gospel will be realized
 during the coming season.
 The speaker then proceeded to define this Kingdom of God, concerning which so much Is said: 'It is not gorgeous
 hierarchy of the church of Rome. It is mot winning general acceptance of the
 Protestant faith, nor fitting one for the future life alone. It is not in the union of all religious bodies. It is a great spiritual world--a realm of thought, I6Gllil& dlLN SsCtiNltS--dli SiLoits tO Etdt- | ize God. IL is possible for all to enter into possession of this kingdom by making the best use of our talents, be they few or many. There lies treas- ure in every field of possession, and the possibility of every one to extend a helpful and healing influence over some I other.
 "We should be patiently watchful and resourcefully ready for the coming of this kingdom, which represents life i in it's fulness. Here, not in some other world. Life is continuous and we should attain as much as we can here-Alive ir
