A Bug In the Ear.

Pittsburg.-Those long, shiny instru.
ments that doctors solemnly poke into
your ear when a little bug makes a
mistake and gets into the wrong
house really aren't necessary to show
the bug the error of his way. All you
need is box of matches, with friend
whose hand is steady, to light them
one BY one and hold them as close to
your ear as is consistent with safety.
The world is indebted to John
Sunders of Colwyn, Pa. fo- this dis
covery. The other day while at work
a bug crawled into his ear. causing
him great pain, and sympathetic
friends gathered round him to offer
what aid they might. Then one Of
them struck a match and held it close
to get a better view into the ear In
stantly the pain stopped. While the
flame fiickered and went out the pain
began again. Light another match,
begged Sunders. They did. and q
dozen after that. Presently the bug,
responding to the light. emerged and
was killed.

The Black Death"

The plague, or Asiatic cholera, or
as it used to be called. the black
DEATH" has been spreading of late in
Europe.
In Russia, where the people are
dirtiest and most superstitious, the
plague thrives best. Seventy thousand
persons are known to have died of
this attack in Russia already.
This is not surprising. for the in
habitants, instead Of cleaning their
wells. cleaning their bodies, and u.s.
ing their brains, get out the little
ikons or images which the Greek
church sells at a considerable profit,
and to these little images supersti-
tious peasants pray-the prayers be-
ing interrupted in thousands of cases
by death from the plague.
There is nothing more tragic in all
the history of man than the record of
"the black death" in Europe.
In the fourteenth century one cpl
demic after another spread among the
people Twenty-Five millions of human
beings are believed to have persisted
In this single series of epidemics.
The rich and the poor alike were
affected. In Oxford two-thirds of the
student population died
In Constantinople the people died at
the rate of 10000 a day.
Charms. lamentations, fear. filth, ig-
ease
Curious results came Of the long pc
Rod of panic and of dying.
The famous "dance of DEATH" In
which desperate human beings paro-
died and made fun of the plague, IL
Illustrating the dance of death" with
grinning skulls and skeletons, was one
feature of the epidemic.
Another. curiously enough. was in
England. the tremendous rise in the
cost of labor. The workmen died so
fast that there were few left to do the
work. and, following the law Of supply
and demand. the few that could work
were offered extravagant wages-al-
though laws were passed to keep the
wages down. And it is said that this
snddeu rise in wages laid the founda-
ton of the emancipation Of working
people in England.
The plague ir Europe appears now
in the old familiar way-breaking out
here and there. always In filth and In
ignorance, spreading gradually.
The disease is not thoroughly under

Ing 1t Is understood. The people must

tai weight of 1920 tons.
Every part of the vessel and all its
belongings are on the same massive
scale as the G gantic she'll itself. The
anchors weigh more than is tons each,
and each link of the cable is two feet
in length and weighs over 100 pounds.
The rudder, while weighing more than
100 tons, may be controlled as easily as

ments being directed by electricity.
The Olympic will be fitted with
triple screws, propelled by engines
which combine the reciprocating prin-
ciple with the low-pressure turbine, a

of communication deserves death"
For if once the foe successfully in
terrupts the flow Of food to his oppo-
nent's firing line his victory is prac-
tically assured.
These great manoeuvers of large
bodies Of armed men are a common
thing in Europe and are beginning to
be common in this country. Civilians
often wonder wherein is the sense Of
spending hours. days. weeks, teaching
a man to stand in q certain fashion,
to step in a certain way or to carry
a gun In a certain manner. They
ask themselves what difference 1t
makes whether the soldier faces to
the right or to the left about, or
whether he rubs shoulders with the
same man or a different one day aft
er day. To these people it seems
like a waste Of time training large
bodies of men to step pace this way
or that and to do 1t instinctively, au-
tomatically, always Just the same. so
they could not do it in any other way
to save their lives. Yet although all
this may seem trifling and purpose
less it Is like the interminable polish
ing and oiling of a delicate mechan
ism. 1t is the process by which is
manufactured a human machine that
will work cheerfully to exhaustion
starve without murmur, or march
up to the lannon's mouth merely be
cause the voice they have been train
ed to recognize tells them to. 1t is
the means by which the hallmark OIL
proficiency is placed upon the pro
fessional soldier, and that is the ulti
mate end of these great manoeuvers

GREAT OCEAN BOAT
Olympic, Recently Launched, Is
Largest in the World.
Ship IL One-Sixth Of Mile Long,
Ninety-Two and One-Haf Feet
Wide and Will Transport
$500 Passengers.

Belfast, Ireland.-At the immense
ship-building yards here recently was
launched the worlds largest steam
ship. the Olympic OF the White Star
line. The immense craft, to be used in
carrying passengers across the At
lantic between New York city and
Southampton, is e22 feet long, has
breadth of 92 feet and a height from
the keel to the top of the captains
house of 105 feet. There are IL steel
decks and Is water-tight bulkheads.
Exceeding one-sixth of a mile in
length, the Olympic Is nearly 100 feet
longer than any ship now afiOat and,
compared with her, the Great Eastern,
launched in 1858, would seem a dwarf.
The Olympic will carry a crew of $50
and will have accommodations for
$500 passengers, the passenger state
rooms and the various public apart
ments to be exceptionally spacious.
while the beauty and luxury of the ap-
pointments will surpass anything ever
attempted aboard a ship.
In addition to lounging rooms, res

the line Of special attractions. swim
ming pools. sun parlors, sport decks,
tennis courts and palm gardens. The
decks will be connected by passenger
elevator, much the same as the vari-
GUS floors of a modern Office building
The gross tonnage Of the Olympic
will be $4,000, and the ocean monster
will have a displacement of 10000
tons. Every part of the leviathan has
been constructed with view to
strength. There is a double bottom
extending the entire length, the depth
being five feet, three inches for the
whole distance except under the en-
CINE room, where it is increased tt
six feet, three inches. The double
bottom alone contains more than {

weak. half-fed man dies-that is why
the plague was often so violent in the
old days just after famine.
AS far back as the fourteenth cen
fury Gabriel de Mussis observed that
those who escaped the plague gave it
to others with whom they came in con-
tact.
They gave it to others because they
had the plague within themselves:
their essential tract was infected with
the disease, and this disease they scat
tered
1t is some comfort to know that the
disease can only be acquired by actu-
ally swallowing the disease germs.
The man who will be sufficiently care
full need net get the plague.
If you will drink only water that
you know to be clean, and only from
vessels that you know to be clean; II
you eat no fruit that has not been
carefully cooked, or carefully peeled
with an absolutely clean knife, and if
all the food that you eat is we'll cook
ed and eaten when freshly cooked, you
will not get the plague.
The main thing is not to worry
about it in this country. There is lit
tie chance, probably no possibility
whatever, Of plague of the old kind
among rs.
The work that is not done by the
little sacred images of the Russian
peasants is done very well by good
sewers, plenty of disinfectants, plenty
Of soap and hot water, and a little

Captain Lyman saw land, but it was

Captain Lyman stated yesterday that
he understood that the lighthouse bu-
reau had changed the fixed light on Mo
lokai to flash light on January ], but
that he had had no notification of the
change. Under the circumstances the
captain stated his belief that such
changes should not be made until a suf
ficient notification had been published
so that all masters of vessels coming to
I these waters could arrange their charts
to agree. If there is not sufficient
time such important changes, he sug
gested, should be cabled from one port
