Shipbuilding in China.

From the Picking News.
According To a Shanghai telegram, the
Chinese government accepted the bid of
the Kiangnan arsenal for the construction
OF four warships at about 100000 taels.
The arsenal. under the control of LANG
kfang. Tfceroy. engages principally in
the manufacture of arms. Although il
has equipment for shipbuildng. il has not
turned out any warshipS in the history
of its existence for the last twenty-odd
years, Its experience so far having only
consisted IN putting together gunboats
that were built III foreign countries
Again. at the Mamei backward at Flu
KEN one gunboat was constructed in
1893 and another in the following year,
which We're completed in 1902 But they
We're small ships, each having the dis
placement of SCI tons. The present order
consists of two cunhoats with the dis
placement OF 1000 tons each and two

agement of French people, this is the first
time that China has ever ATTEMPTED TO

Deaths by Drowning.

From Journal Of American Medical Association
Ihis is the season of the year when
deaths by drowning are most frequent
Every Monday mornings paper and every
holiday tells of toll of young lives paid
Tor foolishness or accidents that might
have been avoided. Until well on in
september these casualties will continue
As the result OF old traditions there is
in many places too ready acquieScence in
the belief that person who has been
under water for five ten minutes or
even fifteen or twenty minutes is ncces-
sarily dead. There are we'll authenticated
records of the resuscitation of persons
who had been submerged for haIf an hour
or even longer. Such cases occur par
ticularly in women and children. in wuom
the fright at finding themselves in dan
ger OF drowning brings on a collapse or
faint in which the heart and breathing
stop and they sink, but low grade life
processes continue for considerable
period Strong men who have battled
for their lives and then sunk are not so
often revived. though if taken with a
cramp they, too may suffer from shock
or fright with the resultant collapse that
is apparently natures method OF giving
the longest possible opportunity for lie
under these circumstances In such cases
efforts to revive the drowned person
should not be abandoned until all chance
of respscitation is gone.
Patients have been reported as not
breathing for fifteen minutes to half an
hour and yet they have ,ecn resuscitated.
Ordinarily the methods of resuscitation
are and ought properly to be exercised at
the scene of the accident. Often the per-
son is pronounced dead even before a
physician has seen him. Only rarely are
such cases transported to hospitals to be
treated. The ordinary methods of arti-
fetal respiration might we'll be carried
on in an ambulance and then in the
hospital itself Recourse might be had to

Horse-Loving Xenophon.
From the Atlantic.


We may breed different types of horses,
and we may harness and use them diff
ferently: but the points of excellence
that combine to form the most perfect
horse are no different IN one age than
another Xenophon, il is true, attached
some importance to points that We care
much less about now-as. for instance, !
smooth round back that rs easy to sit
upon which was owing to the fact that
the Greeks did not use saddles, bat only
a cloth fastened to the horses body by
surcingle: but these are minor mat
tiers. He knew the points off good
horse, and he knew horse nature. And
he had. too. that delight in horses that
is only found in the true horseman. the
man who loves we'll as knows them.
1T is upon horses says he, that gods
and heroes are painted riding: and men
who are able to manage them skillfnlly
are regarded as deserving of admiration.
So extremely beautiful and admirable
and noble a sight is a horse that bears
himself superbly that he fills the gaze
of all who see him. both young and old:
no one. indeed. leaves him is tired of
contemplating him long as he con-
tinues to display his magnificent atti-
tudes."

FEAR AS A DISEASE.
Physicians Now Recognize Many
and Strange Phobias.
From the Medical Record.

From the Medical Record.
Fear as a disease had not received
serious attention until recent years. Now
it is recognized by the medical profession
that there is a whole list of phobias, as
they are called, which are quite distinct
from a normal and legitimate condition
of fear due to some natural cause.
Thus there is the fear of open or closed
places. fear of high places, fear of men
or women, fear of crowds and of soli-
tades. fear of animals, fear of insects.
fear of darkness. fear of accidents, fear
of fire, fear of travel and, in, fact, fear
of anything.
There is end to the absurdity of acts
which may be occasioned by these per-
sistent ideas of fear. Those that pos
sess the fear of riding on train find no
pleasure in travelling: those that have
fear of closed places do not enjoy going
to church, and generally always sit near
the door ready to fly al the first sign of
danger.
Various fears may also develop in con-
nection with the occupation of the pa
tient: for instance, BARRIERS sometimes
suffer these attacks whenever they see
a razor, or telegraphers when they catch
sight of their instruments, which finally
necessitates giving UP the occupation.
Among women especially there occurs
the fear of dirt, contaSion or infection.
The countless bacteria always present
in the air are the chief source Of annoy
ance. The patients are always COM
planning of bad air and are always throw
ing open the windows Books are espe-
cially avoided as a possible source of con-
taSion. In patients with fear of injury
they will throw away all needles in the
house or they will no more wash win
dows for fear that the glass might break
and cut them.
The intellect in these cases is not only
undisturbed. but may be unusually good.
Patients exhibit throughout a pronounced
feeling of mental illness and frequently
clear insight into the morbidity of the
individual symptoms
The more common of the various pho
bias as classified by Beard are as fol-
lows: Claustrophobia, fear of narrow or
closed places; agoraphobia, fear of
open places: astraphobia fear of light
nlng; monophobia, fear of being alone:
pathophoba, fear of disease; mysophobia
fear of contamination: siderodromophobia
fear of railroad travel; acrophobia, fear
of being at height or looking over prec-
ipices; thanatophobia, fear of death
1t is TO be emphasized that the phobias
in question are not normal fears based
as normal or natural fears are, on some
reasonable JustifEing experience. A rea-
sonabe and justifiable normal fear of
lightning might arise after the experience
of having been at some time in house
struck by lightning.
Other fears, such as the fear of riding
in a buggy after having been in a run
away, or the fear of a voyage at sea or
railway after a frightful shipwreck or
railway accident, are more or less nat
ural or reasonable fears, as the fear Of
| hoodoos and ghosts is among the super
stitious or those accustomed to ghost
stories and traditions OF goblin vista
tons, etc.

THE KINGS EVIL.
The Cure by Royal Touch Reality
and No Delusion.
From the London Spectator.

From the London Spectator.
What was the kings evil? That is
question which it is not easy to an
swer. The term certainly had a very
large connotation. 1t must have COW
cred, as DR.. Crawford puts it in his
book on THE Kings Evil. many be-
nign and readily durable ailments. as
well as many beyond the range of med
icine and surgery of that day or of
this Then We get a little light on
the still more difficult question. Was
this cure by royal touch a reality or a
delusion? reality certainly. within
the limits of the legitimate operation
of faith. 1t is to this explanation that
we have to come at last. for this is an
age of faith at least in this sense. that
faith is recognized by science as a very
strong moving power. The limits Of
this power are. at present at least. be-
yond definition. And. indeed, who can
say what nervous disorder can or can
not do in Stimulating organic disease?
1t Is a relief to turn to the historical
side of the subject. limited as this is to
the healing by royal touch. 1t begins

Lord Avebury's Pet Wasp.

From the London Chronicle.
The wasp is becoming a nuisance, and
there are few who would choose a wasp
as "A companion. But Lord Avebury. who
was Sir John Lubbock, is among the few

Orderliness Is Big Asset.
From Success Magazine.

To teach children habits of neatness,
system and order is to insure some de
gree, at least, of success. Yet they are
often brought up amid disorder and con-
fusion, allowed to throw things down
Just where they use them. and to form
slovenly and slipshop habits. They are
not taught to put things where they be-
long. and consequently they grow up
shackled with handicaps which they can
rarely throw off.
If there Is any delusion in the world. it
Is that doing things just for now. drop
ping things wherever one may happen to
be temporarily saves time. On the con-
trary, this is a great time waster and a
great demoraliZer of character. A bad
habit not only tends to repeat itself, but
to increase the tendency in that direction.
If you were not taught the beautiful
lesson of orderliness in your youth. teach
1t to yourself AOW.

HELD IN DOUBLE MURDER
Two italians Are Suspected Of
Staying Mine Inspector
and Companion.

| POTTSVILLE. Pa, September s--Two
| Italians are held as suspects at Mauch
Chunk and two others at Allentown for
the murder yesterday of Joseph Zehner
| of Lansford, mine-stripping contractor.
and Samuel Watkins of Philadelphia, VINO
was spending his vacation at Summit
Hill.
Notwithstanding these arrests the state
police of Pottsvile and the local au-
thorties in the towns of the Panther
Creek valley are persistent in securing
the mountains in that section to appre-
bend any who may be suspected of this
double murder.
There are doubts in the minds of the
authorities that the double murder was
the work of Italians, hence the efforts
to run down the real murderer are being
continued.
The bodies of Joseph Zehner and Sam
uel Hopkins were found on the top OF
the mountain between Lanstord ana
Nesquehoning yesterday afternoon. Both
had been shot. evidently from ambush.
and instantly killed. Lehner lived at
NesouehoninS and was a contract miner
in charge of extensive coal-stripplng OPP
erations for the Lehish Valley Coal and
Navigation Company.
Yesterday was pay day, and shortly
before noon he stopped at the coal COM
pany office in I-ansford in company with
Hopkins, his driver. He stated to the
clerks that he was going TO drive over to
the strippinSS to pay his men. The
road leads through a very lonely coun-
try distance of two miles.
Find Pay Money Intact.
The s2,oG0 to pay the hands, which was
divided up in pay envelopes, was found
intact in the carriage. So We're $40 in
Zehner's pocket and a revolver in his
possession. Whether it was to rob or
murder is a question. It appears that
the murderer or murderers led the horse
into an old, abandoned road on the
mountain. and the animal. which was &C
customed to be driven from Lansford to
the strippings. turned and sought the
highway, where later a party riding in
an automobile discovered that in the
carriage ahead of them were the bodies
of two men who had been murdered.
The fact that the money was not taken
leads the authorities to believe that the
murder OF the two men was committed
for other reasons than robbery. The
authorities are guarding against di-
vulging their theories.
