HEALTH CAMP
UNHEALTHY
SUCH Is CRY RAISED AGAINST
PASADENA PROJECT
FEAR ARROYO WATER WILL BE
INFECTED BY REFUSE
Plans for Outdoor Treatment of Tu
bercuIosis Patients Progress to
Point of Erecting Building,
Which May Be Stopped
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, March 14-There is a
possibility that the promoters of the
health camp for treatment of tubercu-
losis patients now being prepared in the
arroyo near Linda Vista will be stopped
in their work by those who believe that
q portion of the city water supply
which is pumped from the arroyo bed
will be contaminated by the refuse
from such a camp.
For nearly a year Pasadena people
interested in the movement to better
conditions of tuberculosis patients have
made an effort to bring their Ideas to
a realization. At first subscriptions for
the purpose came in slowly, and this
was followed up by delays in securing
a site suitable for the purpose.
Much objection was raised to the sew
eral locations suggested. Linda vista
residents were among the first to pro-
test when it was learned that the camp
was to be located in that vicinity.
Later it was believed there could be no
complaint against an isolated spot a
mile from the DEVILS Gate bridge and
fully mile from the Linda Vista set
tlement.
Carpenters Getting Ready
Recently plans progressed to such an
extent that lumber is on the ground
and carpenters are getting ready to put
up the buildings This is the cause of
the latest cry against the institution.
Some people who have been against
the institution from the start now claim
that there is good ground for believing
that the refuse will naturally sweep
down the arroyo and contaminate the
water which is pumped from the wells
above the Linda Vista bridge.
Owners of property in that vicinity
have arranged for an examination by
an expert physician as to the possi-
bility of such contamination and upon
the result of his finding will be deter
mined whether or not steps will be
taken to enjoin the Health Camp asso-
citation from carrying out the plans.
One of the leaders in the movement
for the investigation is Dr. George
Wharton James, the naturalist and lee
turer. DIR. James is not opposed to the
plan to establish the health camp, but
says pains should be taken not to con-
taminate the water supply of thousands
of people.

Sir Humphry Davy was the first to
inhale nitrous oxide. His experiment
was the result of report published
by brother chemist that laughing gas,
called by him oxide of septon, was
the cause and basis of all contagion.
Cautious experiments made with the
diluted gas produced no Ill effects, and
Davy proceeded to inhale considerable
quantities Of the pure gas. Contrary
to his expectations, the effects were
highly pleasurable Thrills of pleasure
pervaded his body, and his mind was
filed with ideas and emotions of the
most exalted kind, which, however,
were very tndistinct when the effect OF
the gas passed off 1t occurred to Sll
Humphrey Davy that the gas might
be useful In promoting poetic lnspira-
ton, and he accordingly tried writing
verse while under Its influence. but the
recorded result hardly shows a close
connection between the divine aff1atus
and nitrous oxide. Davy's expert
ments had the effect of making the in
halation Of laughing gas for time
highly fashionable, so that in 1902

Jenny Lind and ooIdschmidt.

When Jenny Lind first sang in Leip-
sic she appeared at Gwandhaus con-
cert under Mendelssohn's direction.
Naturally there was great demand
for tickets, despite the fact that the
prices were raised. 1t was therefore
decided that the students of the con-
servatorium must waive their usual
right to free admission to these con-
certs. But the students objected with
vigor. They were as anxious as any
body to hear the Swedish nightin-
gale" A protest was made, and young
otto Goldschmidt, aged sixteen, was
the student deputed by the others to
interview the authorities. In the end
he won the day. He little thought then
that in half dozen years he would
be equally successful In winning the
singer herself.
