Hair as an Index Of Health.

Modern medical men declare that
the finger nails afford better evidence
as to the state of persons health
than the eye or the color or texture of
the skin. A very distinct gloss and
a rapid growth of the nail are always,
they declare, symptomatic of good cir
culation, digestion and general health.
DR.. Matsura, the well-known physician
of Tokyo, while admitting the claims
of the finger nail to be an index Of
the health, prefers that of the hair
as indicating better than anything
else loss and gain In physical well
being. He has established from his
observations that the hair grows less
in volume in proportion as the health
declines. He has even measured the
extent OF the decline by observing the
decrease in the diameter of a series of
hairs. Badness, Matsura, following
his theory, declares to be due really
to a constitutional weakness which
does not, however, always actively de-
clare itself even to the victim. He
claims for the result OF his investiga-
lions that II they do not necessarily
serve the interests of pathological
science, they cannot but prove val
liable In the case of post-mortem ex-
aminations, inasmuch as they can de-
eide as to the deceased persons state
OF health just before death.

the cloth and tore it from it's hooks and
threw it on the floor. At the same time
she called loudly for help.
The flames had already attracted

By Burning Of Summit
House, Mt. Washington.
Had Not Been Opened -Cause
Was Probably Accidental.
Brilliant Spectacle by the Blaze
5000 Feet In the Air.

Gorham, N. H., June 1S.-The Sum
nit House, a hotel at the top of Mount
Washington, known to thousands of
summer tourists, was burned tonight,
together with a large stable nearby.
Situated at an elevation of over 5000
feet above the sea level, the burning
building presented a brilliant spectacle,
which was visible for scores of miles
in all directions.
The hotel had not been opened for
the summer but a portion of it is said
to have been occupied by some work.
men employed in repairing the Mount
Washington Railway. 1t is supposed
that the fire started from an accidental
cause.
The Summit House was long wood
en- building of two and d half stories,
situated at the terminus of the Mount
Washington Railway at the highest
point of The mountain. 1t was built 35
wears ago, and had accommodations
for $50 guests. Both the burned build
ingS were owned by the Boston d
Maine Railroad and were leased by the
firm of Barron & Morrow.
The buildings were valued at about
SO, 900 and were not insured.
In the loss of business at the opening
of the summer season the lesSeeS' cStl-
nate a damage, however, at much
higher figure at about 100000
Only one building, the old Tip Top
house, a stone and wooden structure,
now remains at the top of the noun
tain.
IL addition to the Summit House
was burned the printing office of the
paper Among the Clouds" edited by
Frank II. Burt of Newton, Mass, in
which was kept a complete file of the
paper established in 1877 by the late
Henry NJ Burt father of the present
editor, and a set of apparatus for max
ing weather calculations. The loss to
the printing plant, including the build
ing in which was a cylinder press and
gasoline engine, will amount to some
$4,000
A second stable and the office of the
Mount Washington Summit Road Co.
were also burned. The stables were val
ued at $4,000 each.
Immediately after the fire was dis
covered, John Horne, superintendent of
the Mount Washington Railway Co.,
which is leased by the Boston & Maine,
prepared a special train and ran to the
top of the mountain with party OF
men to fight the flames.
