The automobile craze has opened q

to have sold, within six months, five high

made in commissions about $4,000.
There was no trouble in making the

Russia Requests China for PERMITS

Manchuria.
WASHINGTON GIVES NEWS
FROM MINISTER LEISHHAh.
The French Have Decided to send
Cruisers 10 Turkish Waters-A
Special Meeting of the English
Cabinet Called. and Air Thick
with Rumors.

Washington, Sept 13.-Russia has re-
luested permission of China TO post
pone her execution of one of the from
tier provinces of Manchuria for several
months after October s, the date for
the general evacuation of Manchuria.
Minister Conger cables the state dc
partment this fact, and the matter has
been referred TO Secretary Hay, at the
secretarys summer home in New
Hampshire. for consideration. The
state department apparently is not con-
cerned over Russia's request, as 1t is
pointed out the province is a small one
and the postponement asked is only for
short time.
The Washington government has re-
ceived satisfactory assurances from the
st. Petersburg authorities that the gen.
eral evacuation of Manchuria Will oc-
cur on October 8. If for some reasons
purely local to the province in ques-
ton Russia should request permission
to POSTPONE the withdrawal OF her
troops from that particular province
for several months, it is said to be for
China to say whether the request shall
be granted.
This request, in the opinion of state
department officials, does not indicate
that Russia intends to break her
pledge to the powers. Secretary Hay
will prepare instructions for Mr.. Con-
ger, upon receipt of which the latter
will advise the Pekin government Oh
the attitude of the United States.

Of the bureau of statistics, necessity for
the future progress of the world.
Although this belt contains practically
one-half of the land, area of the globe,
it now contributes but one-sixth of the
exports which enter into international
commerce. With the growing popula-
ton of the world, and the increase of IA
,ilities for transportation, change
should be wrought in this respect Sci
ance has shown how life and health can
be protected in the tropics, and India.

IN comparatively recent years practi-
ally all the tropics, excepttropical Amer
lea. have been brought under the con-
troll of temperate-Zone countries.

INSANITY AND SUGGESTION.
success OF Various Tricks Resorted
To by Physicians in the Treat
ment of Patients

Suggestion as therapeutic agent
is coming more and more into practice
by reputable physicians. Even insan-
ity is cured by its means, for the doc
tor whose speciality is lunacy UNDER
stands perfectly that certain delusions
must be met by other means than
drugs. There was patient recently in
Scottish asylum near Glasgow who
had for some years been under the inn
preston that his head was turned the
wrong way on. After various futile
attempts to cure him the. doctor in
charge put him in chair, tied him
there securely, and, after bl:ndfolding
hlm, administered a sharp. electric
shock. The man got up weeping with
delight, and declaring that at last his
head was straight again. He had be-
come perfectly sane.
A somewhat similar cure was effect
ed by mechanical means upon a man
who imagined himself to be top heavy.
A pair of divers boots, weighing some
40 pounds apiece, were fastened upon
his feet. After wearing them for
few days he was completely cured.
There is nothing doctors find more
difficult than to induce convalescent
patients to sleep properly. During
recent smallpox epidemic woman
who was getting over bad attack gave
her medical attendant very serious
anxiety because she seemed unable to
sleep. She was in so weak state that
he feared to administer drugs, vet it
was plain that unless she did sleep she
would have serious and probably fatal
relapse. The doctor accidentally dis
covered that the woman was aware of
this fact, and was making desperate
efforts to sleep. So desperate, indeed.
that they quite defeated their object.
The next night he resolved on an ex-
pertinent. Mixing harmless dose OF
colored water and sugar, he admins
tered it to his patient, and told her
that there was now no need to try to
sleep, because the dose would send her
off within 20 inmates. Exactly 20 mi.
nutes later the woman fell into a sound
sleep, which lasted IA hours. The doc
tor had no further trouble with her.
Color healing, which has for CEN
turies past been practiced in India. is
on the same principle, says the Detroit
News-Tribune. 1t simply consists in
administering pure water in glasses
of different colors, from which color
the draught obtains properties mag
ical in their effect, provided the pa
tient is endowed with sufficient faith.
Water in red glass is used to cure
epilepsy and all nervous diseases; in a
blue glass it is specific for paralysis,
while in green glass it is used as a
cure for feyers and other complaints.
