Greece is threatened with an odd
strike. At a public meeting the ply
sicians and druggists of Athens de-
clared that their professions would
soon be reduced to starvation. Many
physicians of the city are actually in
straits because of the everincreasing
clinics where patients receive free
treatment. The disciples of Esculapius
intend. therefore, to strike. unless the
government prevents the further estab-
lishment of clinics and permits them to
increase their fees from two drachmas
to three drachmas "a drachma is about
nineteen cents). Although the motion
to this effect was combated by several
physicians as unworthy of the medical
profession. it was finally carried by Il
large majority, and the strike will
probably go into effect soon.

A Coming CatacIYsm.

This good old world. which has been
sailing along through ether for thous
ands of years with nothing to disturb
its equilibrium but an occasional earth
quake, volcanic eruption or tidal wave
is to undergo an experience that will
wipe out 26 of its largest cities AT
least that is what Edmund ScribneI
Stevens, a New York astrologist, de,
clares. He has discovered. how is not
stated, that Chicago is TO be wiped off
the face of the earth. also New York
Washington. St. Louis, Cleveland, De
troit, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Omaha,
and other cities in this country. These
cities are to suddenly vanish. The
reason is that the earth is going 70
straighten out on its axis. 1t is a little
askew now. some % degrees, but it is
suddenly to sit bolt upright, and then
these happenings will not be confined
to this continent. No pent up America
is to contract the powers of this cata-
clysm, but the whole boundless world
will be in its grasp. London. Paris,
and Rome. with its eternal hills, are
included in the universal catastrophe.
The upheaval will cause floods and
earthquakes, and then fire will burst
forth from the interior and play havoc
with the cities mentioned and others
of lesser note What else will happen,
Mr.. Stevens does not state.

.sweatine" a Prisoner.

A butcher boy in Dubuque, Iowa, was
recently arrested on the complaint of
fashionable woman who declared
that he had stolen three diamond rings
and a wedding ring The boy was
taken to the police station and put
through the process of sweating"
This process is frequently fiendishly
cruel, and will force a confession if
there is anything TO confess, and even
sometimes when there is nothing 10
confess. But this Dubuque butcher
boy was singuarly obstinate, and would
give the police no information as to
the robbery. This exaspeTated the
sleuths and they prepared to apply the
Filipino water cure in order to make
him confess. Just as they were about
TO administer this very strenuous rite.
the lady who had made the complaint
called up the chief over the telephone,
and told him she had found the rings,
just where she had placed them in 4
bureau drawer, fact she had forgot
ten all about.
The boy escaped the water cure, but
it is singular that he didn't confess in
order to avoid the torture.
This story is a new version of an
old, old story that has been repeate /
many times with variations. Many an
innocent person has been sent to pris-
on and endured penalty he did not de-
Serve, through being forced to confess
through the sweating process, rather
than to endure the torture.
