 The opium, valued at s22.OoO. was seized in this city by Deputy Surveyor of Gus toms Norwood and his men in raids made on opium joints in Seventh avenue and in Chinatown. The tins filled with opium now are deposited in a large safe in the customs house in Bowling Green. The opium will be destroyed as soon as 1t has served It's purpose as a government exhibit against the men who are to be tried on indictments charging them with having violated the anti-otlum law. News that the drug will be burned has reached Chinatown and the Tenderloin, and every day delegations of dope fiends are seen wandering around Bowling Green. sninng the air and shaking their heads sadly.

 What Is true of the situation in this city is also true, in proportion, of that prevailing in Trenton. The opium await ing destruction there was seized in Att lantic City and Hoboken.
 The news of that seizure and of the impending destruction of the drug soon was known to the opium fiends in Jersey City, Newark Trenton and Philadelphia, and picket system was established to give notice in advance when the hop" would be burned in Trenton. Those pick- cts still are on duty. and so are the pickets in this city. They express con- fidence the federal officials cannot burn so much opium without the fact being discovered.

The Cause of Fatigue
From Good Health.

r IOlIl 0OOu
 Fatigue Is a state of poisoning. The muscles is a machine comparable to a locomotive, since it carries it's own fuel The muscle fuel Is stored up in the mus cle in the form of animal starch, or gly- cogen which in use is converted into car bon dioxid and tactic acid. These prod ucts are muscle poisons. When present in minute amount only, as at the begin ming of work, they increase muscular IT, ritability, and so render work easier; that is, greater amount of work Is ac- complished with the same effort. This fact has been proved by experiments upon animals. and accounts for the "limbering up'' experienced by both men and animals at the beginning of exercise. The jockey always warns up'' his horse before he puts him to a test of speed.
 Rest cures fatigue because it affords op- portunity for the renewal from the blood of its store of oxygen and sugar, and also for the washing out by the lymph and blood of the paralyzing poison with which 1t has been filled by work.
 Rest renews the capacity of a muscle for. work even when the muscle s re- moved from the body A pigs muscle cut out of it's body and made to work by cleo tricity until completely exhausted Is ready for work again after a rest of few minutes, through the renewal of its sup ply of oxygen. Exhausted men have been -at once revived by the inhalation of oxy- gen. Experiment has shown that ath- letes are made able to accomplish greater feats by the inhalation of oxygen just be- fore the supreme effort is made.
 A very short hot bath lessens fatigue because 1t stimulates the circulation and so hastens the renewal of the fatigue poisons. A prolonged hot bath aggra yates the symptoms of fatigue, and may even produce sense of exhaustion which differs little if at all from fatigue.
 A short cold bath relieves fatigue by its general excitant effect by stimulation of the brain and nerve centers and by in creasing muscular excitability and so ren- dering effort easier.
