Hot weather will soon be here anu
precautions should be taken against
heat prostration. A local physician
says that there is not so much dan
ger in this climate as ''muggy
weather, which is particularly favor
able to heat prostration, is not com,
mon here, but at the same time rea-
sonable care should be exercised.
There are two forms of sunstroke.
The mildest is that known as heat ex
haustion. This manifests itself in the
case CT people who are overcome by
heat without being actually sunstruck.
In this form the skin is pale, cold and
clammy and the pulse feeble. While
death sometimes results, the patients
under good treatment will usually re-
cover.
Persons affected in this way should
be removed to a shady spot and have
their heads and chests dashed with
cold water. Spirits of ammonia chart.
shorn) should be applied to the
nostrils, and sometimes it is necessary
to administer small quantities Of
stimulants.
Hest stroke or insulation is tho
serious form of this trouble and the
one to be most closely guarded
against. In cases of real insulation
the face becomes purplish, eyes blood.
shot, veins swollen and corded and the
skin dry and burning hot to the touch.
It is not always fatal, but many OF
those whose lives are saved are ever
afterward inyalijs, with brain power
more or less impaired. The effect Oh
the suns heat seems to be most
marked on the brain and spinal mar
row.
When real insulation occurs. the
Grain becomes. so heated that the hui
man heat center" controlling the
production of bodily heat. is affected
and the temperature rises from the
healthy mark. 9Sla, as high as 10 on
cver. AMI often keeps on rising for
some time after death. The heat
center" lies at the back of the head
and should be protected from the
direct rays of the sun.
insulation is so dangerous that a
physician should be called as soon as
possible. While waiting the doctors
arrival much good can be done and
life often saved by applications of ice
to the head and spinal column. II
is best broken in small pieces and
placed in cloth or rubber bags. but
when these are not to be had ice can
be placed directly about the head and
neck
Workmen and others exposed to
the direct rays of the sun should have
their heads we'll protected and should
wear wColen next to the skin. A very
useful precaution is pad of cotton
batting or flannel sewed along the
back of the undergarment so as to
cover and protect the spine.
! Ii is Well to bear in mind the old
rules: Keep cool as to temper and
your body will not get so hot: avoid
all alcoholic drinks; eat less than
usual and more simply: walk on the
shady side of the street; avoid over
exertion; let the air circulate freely
about the head, either by frequent Ie-
! moval of the hat or by wearing a per
forated head covering.
insulation is more far.reaching ana
dangerous in its effects than most
people know of; therefore a doctor
should be called at once to any one
with the symptoms above described
as indicating heat stroke or true in
collation..

A DARING EXPLOIT.

London, July THE Lao Yang
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph,
in dispatch dated July at 1 a. m.
says:
"A battle is proceeding 25 miles
from here. Numbers Of wounded are
being brought in from the mountains
Evidently the engagement is severe
one. 1t is believed that the Japanese
are continuing their advance with the
object of cutting off Mukden."
st. Petersburg, July IA few
nights ago Admiral Togo attempted to
repeat the Japanese exploit with tor
pedo boats at Wei-Hai- Wei, during
the Japanese war. by sending
torpedo boat destroyerS into the har-
Dor of Port Arthur for the purpose of
sinking ships at their anchorage, but
the attempt ended in disastrous fail
ure. Four torpedo boat destroyers
succeeded in creeping into. the harbor,
which was not protected by booms,
but only one escaped. Two were sunk
by the shore batteries and one was
crippled, The reckless bravery of the
Japanese in going to almost certain
destruction excites nothing but admi-
ration here. The channel at Port Ar
thur Is so tortuous and strewn with
wrecks without that evidently it was
regarded as unnecessary to use a
boom.
The Peterbourgsky Listok last
evening published dispatch from
Liao Yang announcing that an en-
gagement has occurred at Ia Tche
KiaO during which Russian cavalry
under Gen. Samsonoff, supported by
battery of horse artillery, dislodged a
Japanese force from the heights in
face of a heavy machine gun and mus
kerry fire. The Russians pursued the
Japanese and inflicted heavy loss
upon them.

force to ascertain the strength of the
columns advancing on Lao
Yang came into collision Monday with

tanning the exact strength of the Japa-
nese forces. The Russian losses are
officially stated to be 200. The Japa-
nese lost Is killed and 80 wounded.

TIGHTENING THEIR GRIP.

Toxic, July S-Operations of para
mount Importance are going on with
in the war zone, but the government
succeeds in yelling them in almost
absolute secrecy. Since the ocCupa-
tion of Dalny the government officials
have been silent concerning condi-
tions at Port Arthur. 1t is generally
believed, however, that the Japanese
army and navy are daily tightening
their relentless grip on the beseiged
city and that a final assault, followed
by the fall of the fortress, is now
only a matter of weeks.
Che Foo, July S.-Chinese who ar
rived here Wednesday night from
Port Arthur say the Japanese forces
have formed complete Gordon

An article i'm Saturdays issue Of The

For the Minister'S" is false and mis-
leading. The people of Dover Of all
denominations have kindly opened their
homes for the entertainment Of the
ministers and laymen. Homes have
been provided for all the ministers and
a majority Of the laymen. and the can
vass is not yet complete. With refer
ence TO the academy's relations TO the

I rendered accommodations for seventy
