Concerning Pneumonia.

The pneumonia season has arrived.
Not because the weather is colder.
Arctic explorers do not get pneumonia
until they return to civilization" Not
because Of raw winds from the lake,
though these chill the body and there
by reduce resistance to the disease.
Pneumonia comes at this season be-
cause people close doors and windows
to keep out cold air. and thereby con-
denim themselves to breathe the foul
air in which the deadly pneumococcus
rejoices and multipliea Keep your
houses and Offices as warm as you
like. Americans are accustomed to
warm rooms. and 1t would be foolish
to make sudden change. But see
that the place where you live and
work has plenty of fresh air. A closed
window shuts sickness in, not out.

Strange shower From skx.

A remarkable fall from the heavens
Of large quantities OF what Is de-
scribed as metallic floss took place at
Healdsburg, Cal. The shower, which
began between and 8 a. M, and
reached its maximum about ten
O'Clock, was seen by all the inhabit-
ants Of the town.
According to an eyewitness, the ma
terial appeared high in the heavens, in
q clear sky, as a mass of stars, lus-
trous metallic sheets and silvery
ropes. 1t reached the earth in yari-
GUS shapes and sizes, ranging from
minute particles to sheets 20 feet
square. 1t fell In such quantities
that long ropes and masses of 1t hung
from the telephone and telegraph
wires.
When the substance reached the
warm earth it began at once to con-
tract into f1brous masses. resembling
fiossy asbestos, though tests proved
that 1t was not that material. Most
of 1t soon disappeared, though sam
pies were saved and sent to Director
Campbell OF the Lick observatory and
to Prot. Tito Alippi. director OF the
observatory at Urbano, Italy.-San

Diet Of Dry Vegetables.

DR.. Marcel Liable recommends as a
diet for diabetes food distributed
about as follows: Dry vegetables
(peas, beans and lentlls). 800 grams;
butter, $50 grams; five or six eggs;
five or six aleurone biscuits or 30
grams of gluten bread. The butter Il
used with the vegetables; the eggs
may be cooked to suit the patients
taste. This is ration for one day and
Is to be continued three or four. days.
The Journal of the American Medi.
cal Association remarks that this SIS
by no means an hamilton diet, since Il
furnishes on an average 100 to l4O
grams OF protein, 1870 to ITO grams Of
fat. aud 40 to 400 grams OF starch.
