BLUE LIGHT CALMS.
Blue Le.np Might Even Cure Insomnia,
SAYS London Physician.

LONDON, Dec. 14.-Interesting ex-
periments with blue lights as an agent
for producing analgesia, or insensibil1-
ty to pain, the discovery of Professor
Redard. have been carried on by DR.
Harvey Hilliard, anesthetist to the
Royal Dental hospital of London. IL
an article in the Medical Times, Dr.
Hilliard states that he found that
blue light had, on himself, most dis
tinctly calming influence. A desire t.
close the eyes and sleep is experienced
and after some minutes sensibility to
pain is lessened. For instance, the diff
ference between light pressure mad'
with the tip Of the little finger and
with a needle could not easily be de-
tected and surgical needles could be
pushed into the face, lips, gums O.
arms and blood drawn thereby, with
out actual pain being felt unless still
deeper pressure were exerted.
Il believe that the presence of blue
lamp suitably placed might give sat
isfactory results in the treatment O.
insomnia, owing to it's calming influ-
ence. l have tried it with some benefit
in one case and similarly in restless
ness of infants suffering from a mild
illness and in asylums in cases OF
mania. 1t is conceivable that blue
light rays might be of value. This view
is supported by the fact that red lights
nave been found to have beneficial
effect upon smallpox, as it is inimical
to the vitality of the germs of that dis
ease"
DR.. Hilliard gives instances of the
utility of the blue rays in the cast
of the extraction of teeth. One man
said under it's influence he felt no pair

Will Make a Short Trip-Home

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IA
Congressman Longworth was over
whelmed with congratulations, per-
sonal kilograms and mail this morning.
He was besieged by interviewers, but
was good -natured. He said he did not
know he was officially engaged until
the announcement from the White
House. When asked if he and Miss
Alice Roosevelt plighted their troth
aboard the steamer returning from the
Orient. he said he could not tell, as he
had been in a trance so long that he
was mixed as to dates. He said the
plans for the wedding are in the
hands of the Roosevelts. They will take
no extensive trip while congress is in
session, but will take a short trip.
They will make Cincinnati their home.
He says there will be no family trou-

MORE LEPERS IN CHINA.
Disease Increasing, Despite Contrary
Reports by Government.

CANTON. Dec. 14.-It is believed
that leprosy is increasing in China
despite the reports of the Chinese
government that it is being stamped
out by degrees. The claim is made
that the reason the government is SO
circulating reports that
the dread disease is being rapidly ex-
tinguished is found in the fact that
leprosy among the coolies has al
ways been a powerful argument USED
against Chinese immigration to the
United States.
Sixty thousand lepers are known to
be congregated in the villages sur
rounding Canton alone. In the leper
Village of Fat Fung Yum, six miles east
of Canton. are more than 1000 lepers.
