TRAVELLING IN LAPLAND.

Concerning the experience one undergoes while travelling in d Lap land sledge a writer says The Lap landers pulka is a very curious conveyance; t is a canoe shaped wooden sledge and very difficult to manipulate. Before a Lapp can take a drive the reindeer has to be caught Harnessing is a strenuous perform ance, as the creature is usually Wllu with fright and plunges and kicks considerably. His harness consists of a belt made Of the skin of some former brotEer or friend. one rein, which is fastened around his nose, and the pullla is attached and drawn by means of a single trace. They evidently find it a very difficult task to go where when and how he pleas es. The Lapp hangs on to the poor, unfortunate animals neck while his passenger SCI aInbles in. This is gen orally a somewhat haSty performance, and usually nly half performed when with a wild whoop the little Lapp hurls himself on to the front of the sledge, the reindeer makes wild plunge and the mad rush begins.
 Tn and out the poor, wild creature dashes, as if to free himself from the hindering inCumbrance which contln- ually chafes him. first on one side and then on the ctLer If driver and pas senger are slIllful in the art Of tObogganing, and manage to remain in the pulka, the reindeer soon de- cides that his burden is not to be got rid of, and he settles down into a more or less steady stride, and then the sensation is delightful and like nothing else on earth. They are very fleet animals and appear to fly; their feet, being somewhat after the pat tern of the camel, splay out on the snow and thus they are enabled to travel at great speed and tremendous distances without fatigue.
 Owing to its shape, the pulka is very liable to upset. even with expert driving, and when the accident Oc- CUTS the driver has to be very care- full not to let the one rein go. or else woe betide him Away goes the rein deer and sledge and nothing will stop him till he reaches his herd, while, should the unfortunate driver find himself far from his companions. there is nothing for him to do but face starvation and a frozen grave amid the snow. Accidents like these are quite usual, but it has not oc- cured to the Lapp to alter either the method of farnessing or driving or the shape uf the sledge."

 Change in Altitude.
 Tn this city. a few years ago so in- imjcal to the foreigner the school and hospital have grown until a year ago there were 10e students, and this year It was merely a matter of picking out the brightest and best fitted of the ap- pl1cants, 1t being out. of the question to attempt to instruct all those who desired to enter the school. One of New York's best architects is prepar- ing to return to China for a stay of two years, erecting the new buildings for the school and hospital, for which plans have been made. A campus of 20 acres has been secured, and the buildings to be constructed are a hos pita1 costing $150,000, dormitory, rec 1tation building, three professors resi- dences, library and a chapel. Nearly all the money is secured for the erec- tton of these buildings. We are filled with enthusiasm over the present and the prospects for the future. The re- spect and confidence of the people have been won, and last summer a ca blegram was received from the govern ment of the province, but a short time ago so deadly opposed to foreign in StitutionS, asking the co-operation of the Yale mission in the medical edu- cation of the Chinese young men. They have seen the work accomplish ed, and offer land, buildings and funds provided we furnish the doctors and nurses to conduct the enterprise. It seems almost beyond possibility that this province should have so changed in it's attitude towards us in so short a period.
 In alluding to the rapid changes in the country, the speaker mentioned that few years ago it required 36 days of hard travel to go from Han kow to Picking, and that now the dis tance can be traYersed in 29 hours with every comfort.
 Chinese as Students.
 Prof Salmon mentioned briefly va rious other schools located at different points in the interior and spoke highly of the ability of the Chinese as students. In concluding his trip around the world he went to Tien- tsin, Hong Kong, the various coast cities, through the Suez and back to New York.
 Illustrated With Lantern Slides.
 During the latter part of his talk Prof, Salmon showed many interest ing pictures of the schools, students and points of interest with the stere- opticon, which was operated by Allen Latham.
 Prof. Salmon was given a vote of thanks at the close of his talk, and the company adjourned to the banquet room, where refreshments were served under the direction of the entertain ment committee.

gers in the Town.

Health Officer Morton E. Fox of Montville discovered two cases of smallpox in that town on Friday and has number of other cases under ob- seryation The two who 1t has been definitely determined have the disease are mill employe by the name of l.. Treverre and Miss Barbara Cornett. a teacher in the Uncasville school. The victims are both adults and live about a quarter of a mile apart It is prob- able that there are at least two more cases of the disease in the town, al- though the symptoms have not deVel- oped sufficiently to be able to diagnose the cases as smallpox as yet.
 The health officer has examined all the children of the school in the town and he found that one child had symp- toms suspiciously like those of small pox. The school committee ordered the school closed immediately and the child was isolated until the case is definitely diagnosed. The school will be closed at least a week.
 Miss Cornet has only a. light case but the mans case is much more se- were. He is one of a family of six persons living near the car station and he has been employed in the UncasVille mill, though he has not been at work for two weeks, but he came to Norwich last Saturday.
 pr. Fox learned of the smallpox case in the Treverre family by being called to attend the man who was sick. Then the doctor started an investigation in the school and discovered that Miss Comet, who was teaching, also had smallpox. She has a sister in the Quaker Hill school
 It is understood that there have been eases of smallpox in the town for some weeks. but they have been more or less scattered. There were seven, but five of those i'll are about over it. The cases in Montville have been among French families.
 Dr. J. T. Black, health officer for New London, came here Friday after noon for conference with Dr. N. B. Lewis health officer of Norwich. and ures to conf1ne the contagion to Mont vile as far as possible One way was through the order which they issued to the trolley road either not to allow passengers to get on or off the cars in the town limits or to maintain a sYs- tenn of medical inspection.
 The company chose the plan of not stopping their ears Inside the town limits
 The health officers issued these two orders!

 J. T. BLACK, NJ. D.,
 Health Officer of New London. Through passage on the cars will be all right. The health officers said they realized these were unusual and severe measures, but the situation ofs so un- certain that they feel they are justified ing them.
 Inspector Reuben Ladd of the troll ley line said that passengers on the first trips this morning would be al lowed to get off, but would be told that they could not ride back that way. This will affect many employees of the Thames River Specialties company and other industries.
 The situation will also have an effect on the Holy Name parade here on Sun day. The MOntville society has been assigned a place in the sixth division, planning coming here by trolley but it will be a question now how they will get here, or whether it would be con- sidered advisable to allow a large dele gation from the town to come to this city under the present conditions.

GOT ABOUT A DOLLAR
 FROM PAY STATION
Thief Broke Into Telephone Station
 Cash Box at Depot.

The telephone pay station at the New Haven railroad station was broken into some time on Thursday and a little over $1 in money taken.
 The break was discovered about 2 o'clock in the afternoon when a GUS toner attempted to use the booth and found it was out of order. The sta- tion agent reported to the telephone company and upon investigation it was found that the cash box attached to the telephone had had the screws removed and it had been pulled off the telephone stand and emptied.
 Manager Hunt of the telephone com pany understood that some stations in New London had been robbed also and he thought the same man sgwho worked there might have come on to Norwich and then kept on up the line
 As the company keeps It's collections from the station up close, there is small expectation of any thief getting much at any of them
