Fsared Russian Interferenee.

Seattle. Washn., May 5.-Before the
steamship Minnesota sailed for the
Orient from Port Townsend, where she
stopped for repairs after leaving Sc
attic, the Great Northern steamship
officials changed her clearance papers
so as to designate Shanghai as the
port for which she sailed. When the
Minnesota cleared from Seattle it was
for Yokohama, and it is thought this
latest act was due to fear of interfer-

ANCIENT DISEASE.
Smallpox First Described by Arabs
In Sixth Century.

Smallpox First Described by Arabs
In Sixth Century.
The literary as well as the pathelogic
history of smallpox presents many
items of very special interest All read
ers of the clouded annals Of the mid
die Ages" are acquainted with the fact
that Arabian writer's were for many
centuries the recognized apostles of phi
lOSophy and physical science-including
the sundry departments of medicine
and surgery-to the various nations of
western Europe. And it is to one Of
these, Abu Becker Mohammed ben
Zechariah "a. d. Sj0-932l, the earliest
and most original of all the great Mos
lem physicians. that medical science
and medical literature are indebted for
the first recognition of smallpox as a
distinct disease and lis first description
in written language. This venerable au-
thority is generally known 10 posterity
as Rhazes, a name which he derived
from Raj. the place of his birth His
original description of this formidable
disease has been made familiar to Eng
lish inqurers through the medium of
DR.. Greenhill's translation. In addition
to his observations on disease proper
the powers of observation of Rhazes in
physiognomy are demonstrated by such
items of information as, "A man with
large ears is stupid, but long lived"
and in rational therapeutics by his rec
ommendation of the practice of the
game of chess as a cure for melan-
cholia. The antiquity of smallpox is,
as might well be expected, lost in the
midst of ages, but the definite state
ment has been made by Arab historians
that it irst appeared in the Abyssinian
army of Abraha at the siege of Mecca
in the course of the so called elephant
war; of A. d. $50 Tor ST.. The legend
is given as. follows by one of their best
historians, Tabari: 'Thereupon came
the birds of the sea in foeks, every one
with three stones. in the claws two, and
in the beak one; and they threw the
stones upon them. Wherever one of
these stones struck there arose an evf.
wound. and pustules all over. Atthat
time the smallpox first appeared and
the bitter trees. The stones undid them
wholly. Thereafter God sent torrent
which carried them away and swept
them into the sea" Even one of the
elephants, having vantured within the
sacred Enclosures, was struck by stone
and fell a victim to the smallpox.
Among the bitter plants which also APP
peared at that date for the first time.
the rue and coleynth are especially
mentiened.-American Medicine.

BIG CHANGE IN
TEMPERATURE
DECIDED DROP AT MIDNIGHT
LAST NIGHT, AND MUCH
COLDER WEATHER is
EXPECTED.

There was a decided drop in the
temperature last night, and at mid
night the thermometer had gone
down several degrees. In fact, the
night was one very unpleasant to those
compelled to be in the open. The cold
wave expected here yesterday was
somewhat late in arriving, although
a change could be felt during the
early portion of the evening Later
it continued 10 grow colder and at
two O'Clock the thermometer regis
tered 40 degrees above zero.
1t is not expected, however, that the
weather will be as severe as at first
anticipated, sas it has moderated some
what in many of the southern states.

tions:

u Il Made StrikinRIy Manifest When
an Earthquake Comes.
A traveller gives. this thrilling account
Of an earthquake in the far east:
The one occasion l saw q panic was
in Calcutta in June 1897. 1t was
Saturday evening about o'clock. II
was pantingly hot, and was one of a
party Of pajama clad men sitting on
the roof of high house having tea.
I'VE were in the midst of a merry
chatter when the whole building began
to tremble. We were Instantly hushed
and looking at one another with blank
faces until a feeling Of terror took pos
session of us, and somebody shouted,
My God, an earthQuakep
I'VE st6mpeded. There were three
flights of stairs TO go down, and of
course the fattest and slowest man was
in front and blocked the way. The
walls were cracking and yawning; the
plaster was falling in chunks.
Eve were all abarefooted, but that
was the meidan, the great open space
in Calcutta. We ran there. great
part of the adjoining house came down
with roar. The whole front of a news
paper office crashed into the street. TIE
top of the cathedral spire came of and
fell through the roof into the chancel.
Horses were stricken with madness
and were careering furiously beyond
all control. The natives were Shrek
ing. Europeans, blanch checked, tore
from their houses, and many of the wo-
men tainted.
1.-The thing [ will never forget was
what followed. There was the crunch
OF ripped walls, and the whole earth
was heaving and trembling very much
like a ship that has banged against a
pier and taken time to recover. The
awful sensation was the feeling of i'm
potence.
''The earthquake lasted only FIVE
minutes. though at the time it seemed
like hours. Men could only stand on
the heaving. seasick ground absolutely
helpless, unable TO speak. but staring
into each others white countenance
waiting for the earth to yawn. That
was the terrible thing; crowds of folk
reduced to mute horror, helpless, Just
standing with big. wide open. alright
ed eyes, and the brain cramped in con-
temptation of what might happen next
moment

A Continuous smoke.

In the Philippines the use of tobacco
Is universal. The native child acquires
the tobacco habit as soon as it is able
TO walk. In The northern provinces ss.
pecially it is no uncommon sight to see
a child five or six years old putting Wig
orously at a big cigar. The women
smoke fully as much as the men and
commonly smoke cigars where the men
use cigarettes. In the northern parts of
Luzon immense cigars often couple Of
feet long and as thick as the wrist ara
used. Such a cigar is suspended from a
rafter of the house by g string and
smoked during the day by all the mem.
