REMEDY FOR seAslckNess.
New contrivanee Which 10 Said to
Bring Sure and Quick Relief.

The well-known traveller and writer
Eugene Wolf says in one OF his books,
that the best remedy for seasickness
Is the application to the head OF
wet compress, as hot as can be borne
This suggestion, however. is difficult
to carry out in practice unless the
traveller is provided with sea-proof
servant or companion. for in sea
way the stewards are apt to be too
busy to furnish fresh hot congresses,
at short intervals, to all who are In
need Of them
device which enables the desired
result to be attained without the
stewards Intervention has recently
been put upon the market 1t con.
sists OF leather cap lined with a
thick cushion of wet felt. which can
be fastened very tightly about the
head. The wet compress is kept hot
by wires, which may be connected
with the electric lighting system of
the ship. Its effect is an increased
flow of blood to the brain. and. there
fore, the removal of the cerebral amaze
mia which is the cause of seasickness
This appliance has the advantage that
the patient can enjoy absolute rest.
as no removal of the compress is nee
essary. As the compress is aseptic
1t may be used for many patients.

Use Of Kites in War.

One OF the lessons learned from
The late British army mancuyers is
that kites can be used for observa.
ton purposes when weather condi.
tions render work with the army bal.
looms imprac,icable. The plan used
was the suspension OF small car
from the loves, Of u series of box
kites. In the car was placed a signal
service man who made observations
and reported what he observed by
means OF signal flags, The kites held
the car steady In winds too bois,crous
to permit the ascent OF the war bal.
looms.

BY Rail to Forbidden City.

A railway from Damascus to Mecca,
connecting the forbidden holy city OF
the Mohammedans with the outside
world, will be perhaps the most pic
turesque achievement Of the world
during the year 1907. Already this
line is completed Il far as Medina,
the second holy city of the followers
of Islam, and the end is in sight.
While the line is built under direct
order from the Sultan, and while 1t is
intended exclusively for the use of Mo-
hammedans, especially for the conven-
ience of pilgrims to Mecca at the time
of the great annual pilgrimage, it will
undoubtedly be patronized by Euro
pean tourists, and II seems only
question of time before Mecca. the last
of the forbidden cities. now that Lassa
has been opened, will be free of access
to travellers of every nationality and
religion.
