Fibli. me NEW lolk tipNliAt
IN h course OF a recent lecture de-
livered before the Royal United Service
Institution in London a retired English
army officer dealt with some interesting
facts pertaining 70 the question of
health in tropical chimes, The officer In
question, Colonel Mande, late Of the
Royal Engineers. in the course of his
remarks pointed out the relation be-
tween active ray and their effect upon
the great nerve centers running down
tho spinal column. If those rays are
excessive the disturbance OF the nerve
center rests upon the stomach, pro-
Voking digestive disorders as well as
tending 10 the dangerous malady OF
sunstroke. Consequently ii is obvious
hat if a non-actinic material We're
worn ext TO the skin h effect of the
actinic rays would be nullifled. Colonel
Mande personally tried the experiment
some rs years ago, and the relief thus
secured was remarkable, since he was
able 10 prosecute his duties I'm the hot
test sun without Inconvenience or eX-
periencing any i'll effects. The non
aCtiniC material alluded To was simply
a red fabric, with which he had lined
mis- fish helmet and service uniform.
The same phenomena has been OBJ
served by other soldiers while on ac-
tive duty ia torrid chimes. who, by lin
ing their wearing apparel and caps or
helmets With red, have secured instant
relief from the Affections Incidental to
working beneath a blazing sun. Colonel
Mande's experience, though II may NOT
always have been based on his scien-
unc knowledge Of the subject. is mere
~ that of every officer and enlisted
man of the United tSates army who has
marched or footed upon the great
shadeless plains OF the West. Here the
ummer temperature is sufficient TO
raise iron 10 an u~nbearable heat, yet
private soldiers and common laborers
who wear red flannel next to the skin
suffer no bodily pains, though they pur-
sue their tasks for hours on n In the
broiling sun.

Rules is Rules.

From the New York Times.
Germany, as is well known, is q
much-governed country. The policemen
there not only keep order, but go far
u OF their way TO make the people
tread the straight and narrow path.
Bicycle regulations, for instance, are
very stringent in German cities. A
bicyclist, after proving hat he can
ride by means of a test under the
eyes Of solemn judges, must further
more, after he has obtained his official
permit, submit to voluminous n com
plicated regulations. To begin with, he
must nave a number. This number, ac-
cording TO his rule boob (Which he

who had just obtained his permit, de-
cided that il would be more convenient
for him to carry his tool box on the
front hanolcbar. But knowing that his
number must be affixed under the sad
die, in order TO be seen from behind. he
carefully hung ii there by means Of a
couple OF wires. Then he sailed cour-
ageously forth. He had hardly trav-
eled half a dozen blocks before he was
stopped by a stern policeman.
You are not observing the rules of
bicycling said the latter solemnly.
The foreigner looked bewildered.
But I have the number in front Of
my bicycle and behind. too"
THE regulations read hat the mum
Der in the back should be affixed 10 the

number hung from the two wires with
immense disapproval.
And do you mean to say that, just
because the rule is worded that way, /

Argument was useless. The police
man would not allow the foreign BIZ
cyclist to proceed until the latter had
solemnly promised TO restore the tool
box, duly numbered, to its proper posi-
ton as soon as ne reached home.

In passing an ordinance to prohibit
the sale of intoxicating liquors TO alb
original Indians the legislature of Brit
ish Guiana has. like the governments
of Canada, New Zealand and Natal,
shown a wise consideration for the
welfare of the native population. A
curious exception, however, is made in
the case of a native drink called "pi-
Warrie,' which is a production of the
cassava plant. II is permissible under
the ordinance for meetings to be held
for the consumption of this beverage
in January, June n December; but
they can be attended only by aboriginal
Indians. Any other person present is
liable to a fine. There is nothing in
the law to explain why this eXemp-
ton has been made" says the Dundee
Advertiser, but doubtless the native

sounds, but also for the lower sounds
Of the human voice. Recognizing that

able to distinguish different shades
