health-giving spot that one wonders
why Stevenson went far out into the
Pacific in quest Of longer lease OF
life.
Much that you see In Funchal may
be found elsewhere in the world, but
in its facilities for rapid transit" 1t
may claim to be unique. Ok carts are
not uncommon in any part OF the
world, but where else may you ride
over cobblestone streets in canopied
sled drawn by oxen. This Is the We
hicle of the lower town. The steam
tramway of Funchal is merely for the
convenience of the foreigner who
wishes to ascend the mountain TO a
fine hotel that overlooks the city.
And for the descent again you find
the sled, but in a modified form. 1t
may be called the surface line" but
the narrow, winding street that leads
down from monte is better known as
1.-The slide" 1t is built for two or
three passengers, yet 1t requires two
husky "motormen" to steer IL around
the curves by means or the ropes on
either side. Whenever Its locomotion
becomes slow and painful one Of the
"motormen" draws forth bag or
grease and lays it under the runner
a crude method of fabrication, but II
brings results.
Taken all in all, Funchal Is one OF
the most attractive and enjoyable OF
the island cities, and IL is a great pity
that only the Briton has discovered IL.

OXYGEN FOR PNEUMONIA
ny A PHYSICIAN.

Pneumonia is one disease that still
defies medical science. No specific for
pneumonia has yet been found 1t Is a
germ disease and there has yet been
found no anti-toXin for the pneumococ-
Gus except such as the body secretes In
It's efforts to- kill the disease.
SO the only thing that can be done
for the pneumonia patient is to give
him the best possible care so that the
body can do Its very best in the battle
for supremacy over the poison. And
the most important thing that can be
done to conserve the strength OF the
BODY for the fight Is 10 give II air.
The old idea that "A pneumonia pa
tient should be shut UP in a hermeti-
cally sealed room and half roasted is
exploded. A well ventilated cool room
Ia the place for "a Pneumonia patient.
For oxygen is really the only medicine
that can be given for pneumonia.

FUNCHAL, Madeira, Feb. 2.-Five
hundred Americans outward bound on
a cruise around the. world gave Fun
chal the busiest Sunday that II has
had In many a day. The devout pop
ulation was just finishing early mass
when the gay bunting OF the Ham
burg american cruising ship Cleve-
land came into the bay, with the sun
light gliding the tips of its stately
masts. One-half of the city, dressed
In its best big and tucker, fastened
to the pier TO serve on the self-ap-
pointed reception committee, while
the other half ran TO open its bazaars
and spread out a tempting display OF
flners. The Americans were in a frol-
icsome mood. for they had been near
ly eight days without sight of land
Besides, to many this was the first
time In their lives that they had seen
foreign port.
Beautiful to the eye OF any traveller,
Funchal has a sentimental interest TO
Americans because this little city OF
white houses. half hidden by the luxu-
riousness OF its foliage and flowers,
was once the home of Columbus. On
the neighboring island OF Porto Santo
he won the daughter OF the Portu-
guese governor, and either here or
there he Is thought to have first con-
ceived the great idea. The FNunchal
house in which he lived has given
place TO one more modern, but the
site Is yet to be seen. The guides,
however. are. not all well informed
on the subject of their most celebrated
townsman. One American party In
Funchal several years ago was led
blindly up one street and down an.
other in a vain search for the navi-
gators former home With the cheer
full assistance of an idle and curious
crowd the guide finally halted his
party at gateway and vanished with.
In. After a long delay the impatient
visitors saw his disconsolate face re-
appear. Colombo no live here now"
he said sadly. He dead" And he
was much ruffled by the heartless
merriment that greeted his sad dis
closure.
Down ia the business center of this
little, Portuguese city is a poor excuse
for restaurant, with the one redeem
ing feature that the traveller may sit
