PERMANENT ISLE OF SAFETY.
Triangle Inclosed at Intersection Of
Streets Near Masonic Temple.

After a series of unsuccessful expert
ments with ropes and movable iron
standards the District authorities have
established new and permanent isle
Of safety in the large plaza at the In
tersection of New York avenue and H
and 18th streets. 1t consists of a tri-
angular park on the west side of 18th
street, opposite the Masonic Temple.
The park Is inclosed in a granite curb
rising half foot above the surface,
and is surrounded by six-foot brick
sidewalk The unpaved area within
the sidewalks Is to be planted with
trees and towering plants.
Tall. slender lamp posts for electric
triangle. The new park Will not inter-
fere with street traffic, as its bounda-
ries follow the regular curb lines on
New York avenue and on 18th street.
and are back of the curb line on II
street
The officials believe it's establishment
will solve the traffic difficulties that
have marked that section.

Peace In China

The war goes on, the soldiers
labor twelve hours day, at STAY
ing foes; and men are WELD ng
sword and saber who should be
plying spades and hoes. There is
no sign of early quitting, since
neither side can overwhelm; and
grand old China does her knitting,
and peace abides within her
realm. The rage grows hot, in
stead of colder, among most ma
tons not at war; each has a chip
upon its shoulder, and wonders
what it's waiting for. They fear
the struggle will be over before
they have a chance to whoop !;
but China bales her hay and
clover, and puts up cans OF bird
nest soup. In her calm blood
there is no fever, she homes not
for the fields alarms; she does
not wish to swing a cleaver, or
snickersnee. or other arms. She
lists not to the martial clackers,
she entertains no frenzied hates,
but wisely builds her cannon
crackers, and ships them proudly
to the states. From Sacramento
to Salina we jeer the lowly Mon
gors name, and glibly talk of
Heather China" and laugh to
scorn her quiet game. But now
the world is battle crazy, old
China It's that puts up ice; in
scrutable, her methods may, she
calmly stews her rats and rice.

A Steep Hill Needing Roughening.

70 the Editor of The Star:
Now that the winter is approaching,
when snow and ice render our streets
perpetual menace to man and beast,
feel impelled to give public voice to
re imperative need of practical effort
IN The part of the authorities, as well
owners of vehicles, in order to pre-
.cnt the recurrence of the deplorable
conditions that each season render the
thoroughfares dangerous to life and
limb. More especially is the danger
great in the northwest section of the
city. where steep grades render the
hauling of heavy loads impracticable
under the most favorable weather con-
litions.
Take for example 18th street from U
street all the way up to Columbia
road, a distance of a quarter of mile
ut least. Up this long hill freight and
building material of all kinds are con-
tinually transported, more often with
Teams all unequal to the demand, whip
ped and thrashed by ignorant or cruel
drivers, slipping and falling at each
step upon the oily asphalt, with no
foothold or resting spot along the
route, until the way presents a scene
10 touch the hearts of plying human
lily.
This same state of affairs is marked
iuring every rainfall, as well as during
the daily watering of the road by the
District sprinklers that unite to COM
pIete an all-year-round danger to
horses.
While the cruelty of the horse own
ers is inexcusable, the real responsible
lty rests upon the shoulders of the Com
nissioners. whose bounden duty 1t Is to
repave the road with rough granite. OF
at least to sand one side of the street
in order to modify the risks.
Surely the question is one to appeal
tc all classes for serious considera-
ton.
Will not every humane citizen unite
In earnest protest?

HOW TO AVOID DISEASES.
DR.. Rufin Tells Keep Wells" of Eff
fects of Serums.

The effects of the serums now being
utilized to prevent typhoid. smallpox,
hydrophobia, plague and cholera were
explained to the Keep Wells in St
Johns Parish Hall last night by DR..
Sterling Ruffin in the course of a talk
on How to Avoid Certain Infectious
Diseases"
DR.. Ruffin told of the wonderful alb
sence of typhoid among armies of the
nations now at war. as In contradis-
tinction to the Spanish American war
and the Boer war, where typhoid car
ried off ten times as many soldiers as
did bullets. The fact that the new
serum had been injected into practi-
cally all the soldiers of Europe, he
said, had prevented the sickness.
DR.. Ruffin spoke of the successful
warfare against the fly, which Wash
ingtonians have conducted in recent
years. saying that the pests were de-
creased almost to the point of extinc-
ton, and with them went much of tho
danger of contagious disease.
