Japan's Good Roads.

Japan is peculiarly well off in re-
spect Of good highways. The Tokaido.
which runs from Kioto to Tokyo, -
over 300 miles In length and, as the
writer can testify, Is admirably con-
structed. There is also the Nakasendo'
which Is even longer and passes
through some Of the finest scenery In
the world. The reason Of Japan's ex-
c~ellence In the matter Of roads Is that
in the old days, not Sc very long ago.
the daimios, or territorial mobiles, had
to journey to Tokyo once a year In or
der to pay their respects to the SOY
ereign. They Travelled by road, with
great retinues, and IL the highways
were not in perfect condition. eudai
justice was melted out to the lem

LIFE IN A SUBMARINE,
How the Crew Gets Air Fit to Breathe
While Under Water.

The commander of n submarine Oh
serves what is going OF at the surface
by means of the p~eriscope, but when
that is submerged he sees nothing.
And IL he moves his vessel while using
the periscope he leaves a white fake
on the water, which exposes him to the
enemy.
However, the periscope is sometimes
of n length-about seventeen feet-to
give partial safety, as when only the
tip shows the boat Is unlikely to be
damaged by an enemy's fire. although
IL the periscope chances to be shot
away 1t might cause a fatal leak. Also
the submarines can be rammed.
The diving rudders are mounted In
pairs. one on either side. fore and aft,
with an ordinary vertical rudder at the
stern for lateral steering. Each motor
set drives a reversible propeller. The
accommodation for the navigating Of.
ficers Is In the coming tower. while
the quarters of the crew OF ten men
are In the bow, as Is also the galley.
Special arrangements have been made
to secure an adequate ventilation OF
the interiors of the boats. During sur
face operations the air Is drawn in
from outside. When travelling sub
merged the heated atmosphere OF the
engine and the exhaled air of the crew
are drawn off through ventilators which
pass it through various filtering, oxy-
genating and cooling devices, after
which 1t is returned to the interior and
is fit to be breathed again.-Exchange

THE THIRD NAPOLEON.
Spicy Pen Picture John Hay Drew OF
the French Emperor.

One Of the best things John Hay ever
wrote. says William Roscoe Thayer In
his presentation In Harper's OF Hays
unpublished diaries, is this pen portrait
of Napoleon Ill:
"Short and stocky, he moves with a
queer, sidelong gait, like a equity crab.
n man so wooden looking that you
would expect his voice TO come rasp-
ing out like a watchman's rattle: u
complexion like crude tallow-marked
for death whenever death wants him
to be taken some time In half an hour
or left, neglected by the skeleton king
for years perhaps, IL properly coddled.
THE mustache and imperial which
the world knows, but ragged and brist-
ly, c%oncealing the mouth entirely, are
moving a little n~ervously as the lips
twitch; eyes sleepily watchful-fur-
tive. stealthy, rather ignoble, like serv-
ants looking out OF dirty windows and
saying Nobody at home and lying as
they say it.
And withal n wonderful phlegm! He
stands there as still and impassive as
II carved I'm oak for a ships figurehead.
He looks not unlike one of those rude,
inartistic statues. His legs are too
short, his body too long. He never
looks well but on a throne or on a
horse, as kings ought"

Chapter xii. 1.-THE condemnation
of the prophet.
Nine months had passed, and David
showed no signs of penitence. The
facts of his crime had no doubt got
abroad among the people, and the eff
feet could hardly have been whole

he could live it down and that time
would cover all lapses. He was mis-
taken, and Nathan the prophet, was
commissioned to point out to him his
fatal error. He did so by recounting
an incident. as though he desired to
have David's verdict on the culprit.

malady was written when three men
disease in Mexico City five years ago
and only one of them lived. But that
one brought back the secret of typhus
and pointed out the way to suppress
it. The best known perhaps OF Amer
lean surgeons, General William Craw-
ford Gorgas, general of the
army, is now planning to resign his
post that he may grapple with the dis
ease in Servia.
But what may be done in Servia will
be largely based on what was done in
Mexico in 1909. When three expedi-
tons Of American doctors went to the
sister republic to the south in that year
that they might study typhus at first
hand and learn it's secrets they had no
way of foreseeing the effect that their
findings would have on the saving OF
thousands of Slavs in the future. Yet
these men solved the problem of de-
termining just what the disease is and
how it is transmitted. Upon that
knowledge was based the work that
DIR. Z. p. Magruder and DR.. ]. f. Don
nelly were doing when death stopped
their work in Servia. Upon that knowl-
edge will be based whatever General
Gorgas and the Rockefeller foundation
may do hereafter.
How the Disease Spreads.
Typhus is carried to human beings
by parasites, which flourish in insani-
tary surroundings. There is no direct
cure for it. The mortality rate is about
Rockefeller institute, New York, is tell
ing volunteer physicians and nurses
who plan to go to Servia that their
chances of contracting the disease and
dying from it are 60 per cent. Its
symptoms resemble those of an ex-
tremely malignant malaria.
The fever runs for about fifteen days,
during which time the patient is slug
gish, with little, If any, vitality. The
disease feeds upon the entire system
and leaves the patient in a terribly
emaciated condition. The onset, as a
rule, is very abrupt, with headache,
general pains and frequently II or
more chills. There is high fever and
the pulse is very rapid, frequently
reaching 100 the second day. From
the third to the fifth day an eruption
appears, requiring from forty-eight to
| s~eventy-two hours to develop. During
this period the patient usually shows
marked mental disturbance and the de-
dirium is often of a violent type. The
patient may jump out of bed and en-
deavor to escape or attack the at
tendants. Toward the latter part of
the second week. If the patient recoy-
ers, the fever disappears.
Extreme care must be exercised by
those handling typhus patients. They
are robed in garments which leave
only the eyes and nose exposed. Rub
Der gloves are worn. the sleeves are
frightened at the wrists and mercurial
ointments cover the wrists and ankles.
Typhus Isn't Typhoid.
One bite by a fever infected parasite
is sufficient to communicate b dis

"TT ELP us to stamp out the ty-
plus plague or your efforts
to send us grain, seeds n
agricultural implements will
not be necessary. There will be too
few of us left"
This is the message being received
here from war ridden and fever strick-
en- Servia. Added emphasis has been
given by the news that DIR. Edward
w. Ryan, in charge of the American
Red Cross work in Servia, lies a victim
of the fever.
The United States, from actual ex-
perience in recent years, knows little
about this present day scourge. Ac-
cording to the leading American bac-
THEOLOGICAL experts, among whom is
DR.. William H. WelcL of Johns Hop
kins university, Baltimore, there is a
real danger of the spread of typhus to
the battle ground of Europe, in which
event, DIR. WEIGH says, it will probably
kill more soldiers than win bullets and
shells. The step to the United States
would then be a short one DR.. Welch
adds that the scourge In its present
aspect in Servia resembles in its effect
the "black DEATH" which swept over
Europe in the fourteenth century,
causing 100000 deaths in London alone.
Sixty Thousand Have Died.
Sixty thousand people-soldiers, civil
ians, women and children-have died
from typhus fever in Servia. Smallpox
and scarlet fever, too, are becoming
prevalent. Cholera is expected.
More than 100000 peasants are fac
ing possible starvation, due to absence
of the necessary implements with
which to cultivate their farms.
Half of Servian agricultural territory
has been swept clean of everything
counterattacks.
Women and children, whose men folk
are in unmarked graves, are suffering
p~iteously in the ruins of what once
were pretty little cottages.
They lack not only the means to grow
food in their battle stained fields, but
also lack the simple dishes in which
to cook and eat food were they able to
obtain 1t. In the meantime they exist
by the %precarious methods of field crea-
lures in time of famine.
This is a brief outline of how war
has been devastating Servia, as told
by Nine. Slavko Grouitch. wife OF the
Servian permanent undersecretary for
foreign affairs. To cope with the dual
-terrors, disease and famine, Nine.
Grouitch is in Chicago to raise funds
for the rehabilitation of the peasant
farmers of Servia. She has been sery-
ing as a Red Cross nurse in the mill
tary and typhus hospitals of Seryia
and says that unless relief is sent
quickly to these suffering people they
will die.

is localized in the intestines, while the
former has no l~ocalization in the body.
Cleanliness and careful nursing are the
only remedies for typhus. The first
step of physicians in handling an out
break Of the fever is to direct the re-
moval and burning of all clothing of
their patients, the thorough cleansing
Of their bodies and their removal to
clean surroundings.
The Servians, ordinarily cleanly peo-
pie, have been forced as a result of this
war to live in the most insanitary
ways. At the outbreak of the war the
Servian army. depleted and poorly
equipped because of its two conflicts
of the two previous years, made 4
strategic retreat toward the southern
half of the country. The women and
children preceded the army in the re-
tirement. When the Servians began
their return movement they found their
land swept clean. Towns, villages and
all farm buildings were destroyed.
There was no shelter left standing to
which the noncombatants could return,
and they were forced to live in concen-
tration camps as the wards of an i'm
poverished government. Men, women
and children were huddled together,
poorly fed, clothed and sheltered. The
inevitable result was an unhealthy and
insanitary condition. That typhus would
make it's appearance was foreseen, and
nothing could be lone to prevent 1t.
The medical world is now confronted
with its most %perplexing problem in
years.
Americans Sacrifice Life.
When years ago one read of Father
Damien and the sacrifice of his life
to the lepers of Molokai his heroism
stood out in solitary silhouette against
all the world. Today many men and
