York last year as the result of the
presence of a few cholera cases at
the Quarantine Station, but the last
real cholera scare at that port was
late in the summer of 1892.
On September 1 of that year the
Hamburg-American liner Moravia ar
rived in New York flying the yellow
flag. She reported that on her voyage
twenty-five of her $50 passengers had
died of cholera. During the month
that followed ninety-six passengers
died either on the way to New York
or in Quarantine. Five deaths occur
red in the city, but so strict were the
precautions taken that no secondary
cases developed.
An incident always remembered in
Quarantine circles occurred on Sep
TENDER IL of that year, when the
steamboat Cepheus attempted to land
the Normania's passengers on Fire
Island, section of which had been
claimed for quarantine purposes.
When the boat was about to make a
landing the two or three hundred
residents of the island made dem
onstration and would allow no one to
disembark.
Two or three attempts to land prov
ed futile, and Senator Mcpherson
made an appeal to the crowd, but they
brandished sticks and he gave it up.
Two lawyers obtained an injunction
to prevent the landing, but Governor
Flower vacated it and the passengers
landed next day.
There was another cholera scare in
1898. On August 4, the steamship
Karamania reported three deaths
from cholera on the voyage. The pas
sengers were quarantined at New
York. The survivors were released
on August "a. There were $50 alive

In the sixty years preceding 1892
there were FIVE epidemics of cholera
in New York, resulting in $4,000
deaths. The first outbreak was in
1882, the second in 1884, the third in
184S, the fourth in 1854, and the fifth
in 1865.

responsibility which belongs to it in
the protection of it's people against
this as well as other infectious dis
eases, and very forcibly suggests
what practical sanitarians have long
hoped, i. e., the presence in each town
and city of a health officer or health
officials who are practically as well
theoretically familiar with infectious
diseases, who understand the import
ance of their early detection, either
in the typical, mia, or irregular form
an exceedingly important factor in
the control of outbreaks.
1T would seem reasonable that in
the future we must recognize that
isolated cases of cholera may appear
in any place which has known or un-
known intercourse with cholera in
fected places, and the possibility of
this must be recognized, but it must
also be understood that; while this is
so, if general infection is guarded
against and proper precautions are
taken in individual cases, even the
same that are properly carried out
in the presence of typhoid fever, we
may, as rule, dismiss the idea OF
serious results to a community"
1t is to be remembered that many
of the discoveries referred to by DR..
Doty have been made during the pc,
riod of his long service as guardian
of the port of New York, and some of
them have resulted from the knowl,

derstood that, should there be any de-
mand from business firms for smaller
supplies of stamps in this form, strips
of 500 will be printed. There is no in
tention of selling stamps prepared in
this way in quantities of less than
500 or more than 1000.

LOCAL MENTION.

For a government document to run out

a rather unusual record. but that was
what happened yesterday with the Sec
ond volume Of the Handbook or Amerl-
can Indians" issued by the bureau OF
ethnology. This IS an important WORK
on which the bureau has been engaged
fer years. 1t is edited by Frederick
Webb Hodge OF the bureau. The TWO
volumes constitute practically an en-
cyclopedia OF the American Indians, deal
ing at greater or less length with every
proper and geographical name OF impor-
tance among all the tribes. Both vol
umes are illustrated with small pictures
and line drawings,
The first volume was issued in 1907, and
consisted Of 3I2 pages. The present vol
urne is slightly larger, comprising LII
pages. The material is practically the
concentration OF twenty-five years re-
search, and the two volumes have been
about a decade in compiling. The de-
lnand for the first volume gave an indtca-
ton of what the call for the second
would be, SO the superintendent OF docu-
lnents had a special edition printed
simultaneously with the original. This
edition is the only one now available.

SIGNALS AGAIN SOUND.
Broken Machinery at Cape Henry
Light Station Promptly Repaired.

The broken machinery at the Cape
Henry light station that prevented the
sounding of proper fog signals in thick
or foggy weather has been repaired and
the lighthouse authorities have issued
the following notice regarding the matter:
Virginia bay entrance: Cape
Henry light station. The compressed air
fog signal at this station was repaired
February 10; reported disabled February
8.
This is said to be the first time in the
history of the Cape Henry light station
that both sirens have been disabled at the
same time and as the station is an i'm
portant one. and this is fog time, haste
was made by the lighthouse authorities to
put the fog signals in good order.

SHIPPING OYSTER SHELLS.
Accumulation at Eleventh Street
Wharf Sent to Alexandria.

The shipping to Alexandria Of the large
accumulation of oyster shells at the 18th
street wharf, the remains of the many
thousands of bushels Of the bivalves that
have been opened there in the past two
months, has been resumed and several
scow loads will be sent away each week
until the supply is exhausted. The shells
are taken to a mill recently established at
Alexandria and are ground up into small
particles for use in chicken yards. After
being ground the stuff is packed in sacks
and shipped to Baltimore, Philadelphia
and other points. If the Alexandria mill
cannot use all the shells that accumulate
at the wharf. the remainder will be ship
ped in vessels to Potomac river and bay
points for use on depleted oyster beds and
to points in Maryland for use on state
roads. The use Of oyster shells for lime
making. which at one time a number of
years ago was a great industry. has ell
tirely disappeared and until the Alex,
andria plant began using them trouble
was had in getting rid of them.

NEW USE OF THE MILLS.
Former Dredge Will Be Fitted With
Machinery to Extract Oil.

The steamer Mills, built originally as a

Engineer Corps for service in improving

which was later sold by the army author
tiles and converted into u freight steamer
for service on route between Philadel-
phia and the Isthmus of Panama, has
again been sold. and will be converted
into floating fish factory. something
new in marine industries. The vessel is
now owned by the American Fisheries
Company ard the machinery necessary to
convert menhaden into oil and other fish
products is being installed aboard her.
She will shortly be placed in service on
the Atlantic coast and instead of the fish
ing vessels going to the factory with their
catch. the factory Will come to them.
The new owners of the steamer plan to
have the vessel meet the trawlers that
catch the fish. The oil will be extracted
and the chum prepared on board. and
when ready to discharge the Mills will be
sent to some point TO ship the products.

new system will be watched with great
interest by naval engineers and snip
owners generally, and the new system
will be given a thorough tryout.
The result will determine whether it
is worth extending to the fighting ships
of the navy.
Naval engineers have expressed doubt
as to the utility of the mechanism. They
contend that theoretically it may be de-
sirable, but they do not think 1t will prove
advantageous in actual practice. The
Neptune has also been equipped with Mel
vllle-McAlpine reduction gear in the tur-
bine and great hopes are held out for it
by the engineers. 1t is believed that the
reduction gear will prove to be economi-
cal.

SICK LEAVE FOR FIREMEN.
Commissioners Believe It Would
Make for Greater Efficiency.

Because of the controllers decision that
firemen are not entitled to sick leave
with pay, the District Commissioners say
they are happy to see that the appropria-
ton bill before the Senate contains an
item which will allow firemen leave and
sick leave. The bill, il passed, will allow
firemen twenty days annual leave or
furlough and thirty days sick leave with
pay, but the sick leave can be extended
on recommendation by the board of sur
geons and the approval of the Commits
sioners
1t is considered necessary by the Com
missioners to allow firemen sick leave
with pay, for the reason that fireman
who knows he will be locked for being
hurt or getting ill at a fire. is not quite
so keen on taking chances in the face
of a fire as he would be II he knows the
city will take care of him in case he is
hurt.
