FACTS ABOUT LEPRosY.
Greek Scientist Claims That In Its
FIrst Stages This Loatbsome
Disease Ia Curable.

OF all the diseases which desolate
humanity leprosy is perhaps the one
which produces the most terror
among all peoples, and IL is with the
greatest satisfaction that we learn
that this terrible evil has just been
the object OF an admirable effort on
the part of DR.. Filaretopoulo, profess
sor in the faculty OF medicine at Ath-
ems. For the past six months he has
studied the leper in the very hotbed
of the disease, the leper houses OF
Crete, returning full OF hope and
courage.
1t is too generally believed that
the leper has disappeared, il no.
from the world, at least from our
own land; but il is not necessary go
go very far TO find him, and this SUI
fees TO Justify all the measures which
are taken against him. These meas.
ures are OF general interest, more
general than one thinks, for il is
nearly certain that leprosy is but an
aggravated form OF tuberculosis, aud
that that waich destroys the one viii
surely lessen the other. DIR. Filar-
etopoulo has come with his figures, and
he tells us that at present there are
300, 900 lepers in the world. This fig
ure is very much lower than the
actual number, for IL represents only
the certain cases, and the statistics
for the orient, where the disease has
full sway, are OF doubtful accuracy.
Have not these figures terrible
eloquence, and does not every one
feel, in considering them, the neces-
sity for prompt and energetic ac.
ton? This is all the more the case
since, according 10 DR.. FiIaretopoulo.
II the disease is taken at it's com
mencemeni IL is durable, It's slow eyo-
lution-fve or six years in general
permitting n continuous effort TO ar.
rest its progress.
Leprosy is hereditary, and probably
contagious, and however great the re.
strictions. the lepcrs contaminate
others. IL is this contagion which

to a sister of the sultan and is con
sidered the most progressive and
amiable Javanese gentleman. He has
been called the bismarck of Java"
and perhaps not without reason, for
he rules his master as well as his
subjects. No one can obtain an audi
ence with the sultan, first without
an order from the Dutch governor
and, next, without the consent of the
chancellor. All leases and contracts.
which are of great Importance to Eu-
ropeans living in central Java, are
made in the chancellor's office; and Il
is also his duty to prevent hostilities
between the minor princes and chiefs
and the Dutch government. lie is
the right hand of the governor and
OF the Javanese court-surely not an
easy task. lie Is without doubt, like
his late father, the most highly-es-
teemed native statesman in central
Java. In view of this fact il is not
surprising to learn that the chancel.
lor's residence-one OF the most hos
pitable in the country-is the center
of Jayanese high life. Once a week
he has an lat home" night which is
characterized by a total absence OF
court or diplomatic restraint. The
official part OF the evening is cut
down TO absolute requirement and
then his excellency provides a sumpt-
uous meal for his guests-a feast
that far surpasses the banquets
served in the sultan's palace, where
scores of officials are employed who
make his majesty pay enormous
prices for inferior viands and wines.
The chief function OF the thousands
of court officers who prey upon their
masters may be said 20 consist in
stealing and cheating. A French
gentleman once described the state
of affairs obtaining at all OF the Jaw
anese courts by saying that for every
cigar stranger received from a ma
tive the latter stole an entire box.
The moral of the whole story is;
It's an expensive pleasure TO be a
Javanese prince"
The common people of Java live in
frugal way. Their homes are OF
the plainest construction, as is shown
in the picture, which is a copy of one
OF Mr.. Pedersen's drawings Tho
architecture is OF the simplest Malay
order, and the furnishings would be
despised by the poorest European
peasant. The cut of Javanese
street vender, also made from an
original sketch by Mr.. Petersen.
shows what sort OF appearing men
the natives are. They are of small
stature, have bright eyes and busi-
ness sense which would be fortune
to the average white man. They are
excellent traders in whose lexicon
there is no such word as honesty.

LEPRoSY IN FRANCE.
The Danger There Lies Not SO Much
In ContagIon as from Tuber-
cuIoSi~.

The revelation that leprosy exists
In France TO such an extent as to call
for the erection OF special hospital
has caused quite scare in Paris, says
recent London report. il appears
that there are nearly score Of eases
under treatment in the ST. Louis hos :
pital, and the municipal council has
been asked TO vote $4,000 francs for
the erection of special pavilion, so
as to isolate them from the other pa
tients.
IL appears, however, that leprosy is
not a contagious disease and that the
other patients run no risk of infcc-
tion. The doctor In charge OF the
hospital, however fears that the lep-
ers may be attacked by tuberculosis,
TO which they are peculiarly subject.
As eases Of tuberculosis are treated
in the same ward, he thinks IL better
TO erect special pavilion for the lep-
ers. This declaration as 10 the nom
contagiousness Of leprosy will come
as a surprise 90 most people, as II is
a popular belief that the disease is con
tagious TO the highest degree. As.
however, there is not the slightest
grounds 10 doubt these declarations
OF men of the eminence Of DR.. Allo-
pean and his aids, the Parisians need
not fear the outbreak Of an epidemic
OF leprosy.

Especial Foreign letter.


CONSIDERABLE interest has late
" ty been aroused among Ameri-
fan ethnologists by the an
noudtement that Hon. John Barrett,
the well-known American orientalist,
had persuaded one of the many ma
tive princes of the island of Java TO
make NE exhibit at the st. Louis ex-
position. The Jayanese village at the
worlds fair at Chicago proved a
great attraction to thoughtful Wis
itors, although it was a financial fail
ure. The mistakes made by the pro
moters of the Chicago enterprise will
not be repeated by those who talk of
taking charge of the 1904 venture,
which will combine educational with
business features.
Java has frequently been called the
pearl of the orient, and owing to the
magnificence of it's natural beauties
and charms many students have come
to consider it as the cradle Of man
kind and some have gone SO far as TO
call II the site of the Scriptural para
disc. Very few Europeans or Ameri-
cans are familiar with the tribal and
domestic life of the Javanese; and

Danish author and artist, probably

A Javanese prince is an autocrat in
every sense Of the word. His subjects
approach him with reverence and his
will is their law. He commands great
wealth, maintains luxurious estab-
lishment, can satisfy every desire, ex-
cept that of free movement. In the
latter respect he is to all intents and
purposes a carefully guarded prison

and sometimes marry healthy per-

noticed some cases in which the pa

at the present time any positive cure.
At the same time, ii is necessary to
state, with scientific brutality, that
this particular point has only a rela-
