Civilization Cruel TO Babies.

Among civilized nations the clothing of the newly born
has preoccuped the people of all times and from their
reflections this subject resulted the sranges
and most anti-hygenic garments imaginable. Except
among the Sparans, who left their children naked to
develop naturally without restraint in order that they
might become beautiful adoescents what to have
interested the ancients anxiety to furnish
a guard weak limbs and fra body of infancy. If
all children had been well formed, If all peoples like
the spartans had exposed upon Taygeus all the newly
born who were shaped. this idea probably would not
have arisen Unhappily badly formed infants not
have thought martyrzng babies order to give. them
straight limbs and deep chests.
II this orthopedc method been applied to the de-
formed babies only, it would not have been so bad.
But this didn't happen When they the effects of

In France an middle ages children were still

was first wrapped up a piece cloth; the rich

often they swaddled the newly born in wool About

TERRIBLE NAVAL DISASTER.

1eavored to lend every assistance pos
sible.
On board the Bennington were pre-.
scented terrible scenes. The force Of
the explosion had torn a great hole
in the starboard side of the ship. and
the vessel was already commencing
to lis;. A section of the upper deck
was carried away from stem to stern.
Blood and wreckage were distributed
over the entire ship.
Over 1t all hung cloud of white
smoke. Every physician who could
be reached by telephone was called to
the water front. Within compare
lively short time nearly dozen ply
sicians were on the scene and attend
Ing to the wounded.
A dozen or fifteen were Blown over
board by the force of the terrific ex-
plosion. Capt. wentworth. who was
looking at the Bennington whsn the
disaster occurred, says he saw hui
man bodies hurled over a hundred
feet upward.
A boat was lowered from the YES
sells side and most of those thrown
into the water were picked up and
taken on board.
The shock of the explosion pene.
trated every section of the ship. Por'
lions Of the upper deck were carried
away and great damage was done in
oil sections.

Bio Tank Was Struck Early Sunday
Afternoon.
Humble, Texas, July 24.-Eleven big
earthen tanks OF the Texas Company
are burning and the waste oil is run
ming in the direction OF the field with
almost no possible prospect of stop
ping 1t.
The property loss has been ire
mendous-more than half million
and it is feared that at least five men,
and possibly more. have lost their
lives in a fruitless attempt to check
the ravages of the fire god.
The conflagration started at 4.2O
o'clock in the afternoon, when the big
23S. OOO-barrel tank OF the Texas Com
pary was struck by lightning. AT the
same time a negro and two mules were
killed.
Fol time the flames were confined
to the tank, but after several hours the
oil began to boil and dubbed over the
brim Of the basin and ran In the d.
rection Of the other tanks In the same
Enclosure.

Galveston, Texsa, July 22.-Texas
has Quarantined against New Orleans.
DR.. George r. Tabor. State Health
Officer, yesterday received q telegram
from DIR. Souchon, president of the
state Board of Health OF louisiana.
stating that yellow jack has invaded
the Crescent City, and yesterday af-
ternoon DR.. Tabor promptly put an
embargo against passengers coming
from New Orleans He will leave for
that point this morning and make
personal inspection, after which fur
Their plans will be evolved for the
establishment of detention camps at
the railroad entrances to Texas, IL
these are deemed necessary. Pend
ing this, however, DR.. Tabor has by
wire instructed the ticket agents at
New Orleans of the Texas & Pacific
and Southern Railroads not to sell
tickets to Texas points, and he has
also through the same medium ap-
prised Vice President Fay of the
Southern Pacific that he has placed
In effect the quarantine mentioned.
DR.. Tabor says that passengers des-
tined to Texas points may pass
through New Orleans, but they will
be required to show the proper Gre
dentials.
An inquiry was made of DR.. Tabor
as to the number of yellow fever cases
in New Orleans, and in reply he stat
ed that he did not know, and also
could not say from whence 1t came.
He said, however, that he had pre-
viously received information of sus-
pected cases being there, and yester-
day received confirmation from the
Louisiana State Health Officer Of the
report. He said that for some time
he had been afraid that yellow fever
would invade the port from Central
and South America, as the authori-
ties have been utilizing too much of
their efforts in watching Texas and
Mexico, and possibly neglected their
own port.
The State Health Officer urges that
all Texas towns Immediately institute
a campaign of cleaning up. as he says
this is the best precaution toward pre-
venting such disease. He states that
while so far as he knows there is no
cause for alarm, an ounce of proven
ton is worth a pound of cure.
Last night DR.. Tabor communicated
to the City Health Physicians of Gal
weston, Houston, San Antonio. Orange
and Beaumont the information he
has received.

GREAT fire IN HUMBLE OIL FIELDS.
Lightning Struck Oil Tank and Started Fire Which
Cost Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars.

tanks of the Texas Company was a
mass of flames. Lurid tongues OF
fire shot 900 feet into the air, making
a spectacle as magnificent as 1t was
terrible. During the entire night an
electrical storm prevailed in the vicin-
ity, which added to the CHASTITY gran
deur of the scene.
Men labored frantically to prevent
the spread of the flames, but their best
efforts were futile and but feeble as
compared with the merciless wrath Of
the unquenchable fire demon. Tor
rents of rain poured down all night,
accompanied by vivid lightning, but all
this was unheeded by excited men as
they rushed hither and thither despair
ing Of their power to cope with the
mighty enemy. yet hoping against hope
that they might hit upon some manner
of combating the fury of the flames.
1t was generally reported that a
number of men were caught by the fire
while trying to throw UP an earthern
levee to prevent the spread of the
waste oil that escaped from the tanks
as they burst, a great sheet of flame
and oil ran down the side Of the tank
in the direction of the men and teams.
The mules were deserted and left to
escape as best they might, while 9TH
ers were left to run hither and thither
through the field.
1t is asserted that number of men
have persisted either by fire or from
the effects of the gas, but owing to the
din of confusion prevailing in the field.
it is impossible to confirm the reports.
All night long the town Of Humble
was thronged with homeless people
seeking shelter, and there was no place
to accommodate them. Many of them
had lived in tents in the field town.
and when the flames began to spread,
deserted ,neir temporary homes and
sought safety in flight.
At the latest advices gravest fears
for the field were entertained, for the
reason that the waste oil is running in
that direction with little effort being
made to check the flow.
or course. the facilities for fighting
any kind OF fire are very crude. and
to successfully combat q conflagration
Is absolutely out of the question. The
best that the most optimistic could
hope for is to prevent the fire reach.
ing the field proper.
