No Fresh Air In London.

There is no fresh air In the heart
Of London, according to the conclu.
sions Of a recent investigator. He
says: mo evidence Of ozone was any
where apparent, except at Browns
wood Park, in the northeast 1t was
from the northeast quarter the wind
was blowing and the air had lost all
trace of ozone before 1t had reached
Hyde Park; at Bushey Park, although
practically country district, no ozone
was present In the air. London had
not only distracted the goodness out
Of the air that swept over 1t, but had
added to 1t the exhalations from the
breath and bodies of thousands Of an.
imals. Persons living within one
or two mile radius of Charing Cross
cannot have fresh air entering their
dwellings at any time"

NATAL AFFAIR SERIOUS.
English Ministry Finds Its Action
Very Embarrassing.

NCTy embarrassing
London, April 4.--The Natal affair
Is probably the subject Of stronger
party recriminations than any qres-
ton that has come to the surface In
recent years. Newspaper attacks
continue on both sides, conservative
organs flinging charges Of little
Englandism" against the government,
and Liberal papers, on the other hand,
attributing the whole trouble to
Vaccinations of the Chamberlain
party desiring to discredit the gov
eminent in the eyes Of the country.
Liberal papers, although they admit
that the government did the best
possible in the circumstances, are not
yet satisfied that absolute justice has
been done and point out that the gov
ernor Of Natal himself wished civil
trial for the unfortunate natives.
The Tribune does not hesitate to de-
clare editorically that the British
people, In the calmer mood induced
after reflection of the people Of Natal.
will look back on this wholesale exc
cution as one of the ugly incidents In
British history which national pride
buries out of sight and does not teach
in its history books for the young.

How One Girl Found a Husband.

All pretty girls travelling are not ad-
vised to follow the example set by
the heroine of this true story. Last
week Miss Droop of Washington was
married to a, young merchant OF Bre-
men after he had journeyed far to
find the lady of his love. Two years
ago Miss Droop, with friends, was
travelling from Bremen to Berlin when
handsome man entered the car. He
proceeded to read a German paper.
She said to another girl: How fine
looking he is. l wouldn't mind being
married to German If could get
such handsome one" She spoke In
English, and the young man sat with
a stolid countenance, as If he
couldn't understand word. Really,
he knew English thoroughly. The
marriage is the sequel.

HARTMAN TO CARRY 1T FREE.
Offers to Transport 1000 Tons Of
Food to Hungry Japs.

New York, April 4.-The latest pri-
vate advices received from Japan
have shown famine conditions in
Sendal and the northern provinces to
be so serious that the New York
State Red Cross has determined to
raise not only money but food in this
country for the relief Of the starving
Japanese. This decision was reached
at the meeting of the Japanese famine
committee held. The committee de-
cided to accept the offer Of e. H.
Hartman, president Of the Union Pa
cifc and Southern Pacific railroads.
to transport 1000 tons Of food from
any of the freight stations on his sys-
TEN to the Pacific coast and thence
by the Pacific Mail Steamships to the

BEST TONIC FOR THE NERVOUS.
Diet Of Raw Eggs and MIX VIII Work
Wonders,

WVIuSTos
New York society women are at
last beginning to learn the value Of
raw eggs as nerve tonic,' said
trained nurse the other day. For the
last few years I've been trying to get
nervous patients to give this simple
remedy trial, but really think its
simplicity was against 1t. These fash
icnable women want something ex-
pensive, with wonderful name, and
prescribed by some noted specialist
who charges fabulous sum for each
visit. When anything is simple, easy
and cheap 1t doesn't stand any chance
with them at all.
"A celebrated nerve specialist told
me only the other day that one could
hardly oyerestimate the benefit de-
rived from the almost wholesale eat.
Ing Of raw eggs in case Of serious
nervous exhaustion. Not a raw egg
now and then-not a bit of it--but
raw eggs two at time and at least
four times day! Ten eggs a day
are often taken by q patient with
most excellent results. This same
specialist told me that he had seen
the most ragged set Of nerves he ever
dealt with quieted In a week with
this treatment combined with as much
milk as the patient could take. An
immense amount Of pure and highly
concentrated nourishment may be tax.

Moon Lunacy.

How much basis is there for the
notion that the moon IL cause of
lunacy? In book recently publish
ed in London the author, Basil Lub-
book, who is traveller Of experience,
says:
Many time have hauled a sleep
ing man out Of the glare of the tropi-
cal moon for fear Of its direful beams,
and many time have l had the like
service done to me.
If lucky, one gets of with moon
blindness" or queer and unpleas-
ant contraction Of the muscles Of one
side of the face, but idiocy, says Mr..
Lubbock, is often induced. 1t is Ger.
tainly very old and widespread
opinion, though perhaps it has never
been adequately tested by science.

EUROpE'S WAR SCARE ENDED.
COMPLETE ACCORD RESULTED
FROM LONG CONFERENCE.

Algeciras, Spain. April 3.-The com
mittee Of the conference on Moroccan
reforms has reached an agreement on
all points. This agreement will be
sanctioned at the plenary session OF
the conference. While France has
compromised some points, the sltua-
ton may be regarded as French d.
plomatic victory.
The complete accord resulted from
long conference held between M.
Revolt, head Of the French mission,
and Count Won Tattenbach Of the Ger
man mission. The division and the
policing Of the ports Of Morocco was
arranged as follows:
The duration of this police agree
ment was fixed at five years. The set
Element of the question of the State
Bank Of Morocco gives France three
shares, including those Of the French
syndicate. The other nations have
one share. Four bank supervisors
will be appointed by the Bank Of Eng
land, the Bank Of France, the I'm
perial Bank Of Germany and the Bank
Of Spain.
The distress Of the famine districts
will last until October, but the acute
stage will be passed by June. when
other crops will be harvested. The
severity Of the ordeal through which
the people have passed will hardly be
realized by those accustomed to a
higher standard Of comfort. Eight
feet Of snow covered the wide tracts
Of country where the hapless people
and their hungry children huddled in
their Shiny novels. Yet throughout
they have shown a wonderful spirit
Of independence and self-reliance.
They would never stoop to beg, so
that in numerous instances the heads
Of the villages reduced the price on
food that might have been given
gratuitously to third Of its usual
cost, In order that the recipients in
paying this price might preserve their
self-respect.

Great Difficulty Now VIII be to
Build a Derrick over the Well, Fish
Out Dropped Tubing and .Retube
and Shut In the Well.

independence, Kan, March 81. -
The Kansas Natural Gas Company's
big gas we'll below Caney, which was
struck by lightning February %, was
successfully extinguished. The sec
ond hood, which was failure two
weeks ago, was placed over the well.
The ground had been made wet and
soft around the well so that the hood
sank deep into It, Previously the
Bix-inch casing which had caused the
horizontal tongues of fire, had been
dropped into the hrle, and the only
fire now was thro .gh the vent pipe
in the top Of the hood. Over one hun
dred yards Of canvas ducking was
sewed into big blankets, and first a
layer of canvas and then a layer Of
gumbo was built around the hood,
there being tons Of. earth banked up.
Then the hood was anchored with
big chains. Steam pipes were con-
nected to the vent pipe to prevent
the flames from rushing down the
hood when the valve was shut, as in
q recent trial. Then big spool was
attached to the long arm used to turn
the valve and around this spool wire
was wound. At given signal men
took the end Of the wire and ran,
turning the valve quickly, and the
great fire was out.
The great difficulty now will be to
build derrick over the we'll, fish out
the dropped tubing and re-tube and
shut in the WELL After the fire was
put out the gas was turned loose, and
Is now blowing into the air out of the
top of the vent Of the hood.

W. P. Northrup, in the Medical Rec
ord, says that civilized man has
learned how to eat and drink and how
to wash, but he has not yet learned
how to ventilate. The author depicts
the unhygienic conditions existing In
most places Of public assemblage,
owing to the lack Of fresh air, and says
that the need for reform in this re.
gard is also great in private dwell
ings. The curse Of modern living Ia
overworking, overheating and lack of
ventilation, not to mention worry and
hasty eating. The suggestion is made
of utilizing the roofs Of dwelling

Coal Mines In the Kansas District
Closed Down Not to Work Again
Until There 10 An Agreement Be-
tween the Miners and Operators.

Indianapolis, April 3. = No general
strike order was issued by the nation
al executive board of the United Mine
Workers as a result Of the all-day
meeting of that body here. The meet
ing was held for the purpose OF COM
pleting arrangements to carry out the
policy committed to the board during
the national convention of the miners
which closed Friday afternoon. This
was made effective by authorizing the
district and sub-district officers to
sign contracts wherever the operators
signf6ed their willingness to pay the
1903 scale, which provides for an in
crease Of 5.55 per cent in wages.
The district officers and board men,
bers have notified the local unions
that the miners may cease work at
the expiration of the present wage
scale at midnight and remain out un-
til ordered back to work under new
contract. 1t was reported unofflcially
at the national headquarters Of the
miners that operators representing
the total tonnage of Iowa have signi-
fed their willingness to sign the 1903
scale.
The signing of contracts by the
operators in western Kentucky Is &C.
cepted by the miners officials as an
indication Of what may be expected
elsewhere. Application was received
at the national headquarters, United
Mine Workers, for the signing OF all
the miners in that territory and the
authority was transmitted at once by
telegraph to the 5000 miners in this
region who will continue at work.
Bennett Brown, representing sever
al large mines in southern Illinois,
made personal application to Presi-
dent John Mitchell to be allowed to
tsign the new contract. He was told
that the papers would be in readiness
for him on his arrival at Springfield
land that the district officers there
have power to act in the matter and
order the men back to work.
1t was said also at headquarters
that all the mines in Indiana south
of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwest
.ern road have made application to be
allowed to sign the new scale. The
owners Of these mines are not men,
bers of the operators association in
the central competitive field.
/ President John Mitchell refused to
discuss the outlook.
Z Pittsburg, Kan.-All the coal mines
in the Kansas district closed down,
