Telegraphers' Cramp.

An interesting feature of teiegraphists'
cramp is that certain letters are nearly
always the stumbling block. The most
frequent are "C'' and "Y"-that is. the
code signals used for these letters. When
sender begins to be conscious about
so common Il letter as &c" his case
soon becomes hopeless one. Another
form of cramp attacks the receiver of
the message. 1t takes the form of inabil-
ity to write fast enough to take down
message, quickly transmitted. This is
easily understood when it is remembered
that receiver often has to write contin-
uously to code dictation, so to speak. for
hours at time. The strain involved is
enormous. and leads fairly commonly to
what is practically a form of nervous

SEGREGATION IS
EXTREMELY COSTLY

Segregation of lepers during the
twelve years ended June 80, 1909, has
cost the Territory more than 100000,
according to a statement made yester-
day by President Mott-Smith of the
Board of Health. And this figure ap-
plies only to what has been spent di-
reetly at the Kalihi Receiving Station
and the Settlement on Molokai. If the
proportionate share of Office expenses
and other expenses of the Board of
Health were added 10 the total, it
would run far above the two million
mark
Mr.. Mott-Smith gets his figures from
a thorough investigation of the ex-
penses of his department which he has
been making lately, and he finds the
sums to be appalling. His report to
Governor Frear, on which he has been
working for some weeks, will be in
by Tuesday.
