WEDNESDAY, JAN. 22, 1902. DISINFECTING A SHIP. Ilolxi Ilcnt, a Thorough flermlcldal Aceiil, Ih l hciI. When the vessel has tied up to the wharf in New Orleans, the first step Is the removal of the bedding, clothing and cushions and other cloth fabrics to the quarantine shod. Here they are hung on a framework consisting of a series of racks suspended from a long cur running on a track and so arranged that when the racks are filled the whole thing may he run Inside one of the three great disinfecting cylinders with which the stutlon Is equipped. These eylindcrs are ehormous steel hollers lifty feet In length by eight feet hi diameter and fitted Inside with con tinuous rolls of steam pipe. The cylin ders are covered with asbestus and swathed In felt, nml when the cylinder caps are on they are airtight. When the clothing has been placed Inside and the cylinders closed, dry heat Is forced through the pipes at a temperature of ISO degrees, and this Is followed by moist heat raised to a temperature of 2110 degrees. The pressure of from six to eight pounds put upon this steam heat Is sufficient lo force It through heavy waitresses or bundles of cloth ing. After n period which varies from thirty minutes to an hour the cylinders ire opened, I he racks are run out, and the rapid evaporation which follows causes the clothing to dry almost Im mediately. The clothing Is unharmed by lids process, and the moist heat Is a thorough germicidal agent. It Is an In teresting fuet that If a freshly launder ed linen shirt or collar Is put Into the cylinder It will emerge thoroughly moist and apparently In need of anoth er starching. The evaporation Is so rap id, however, that It Is Immediately re stored to Its original condition, not even the gloss being removed.—Leslie's Monthly. YOKOHAMA BY NIGHT. I.nnfcrn Vfltirnlnnflon Mnke* IbeClly A row of paper lanterns in the black alia (low of a wall Is tlie first Impres sion the newly arrived traveler has of Yokohama as he steps from his “sam pan” on to the wharf at night. The lanterns hang low and almost motionless, hilt at the word “rickshaw” they begin to sway, and with a silent, almost rhythmical movement they como rushing toward him. A moment later he discovers that each lantern Is attached to a rickshaw, which offers for less than half a yen an hour to con vey him anywhere his fancy may lend him. Hut go where he will the lantern Is always 1 In-re, dangling and swaying and dimly Hashing. The lantern on the rickshaw is a characteristic detail of the night pic ture of Yokohama. It Is a series of brilliant dashes of color under a cloud less, starlit, sky, fanned by a soft breeze* which seems half of the sea and half of the tropics, with smiling, doll like people gliding about everywhere. It hardly seems real. It Isn’t, fairyland | exactly, because fairies are not sup posed to he always as picturesque as are these Japanese. Certain It is that few things anywhere in the round world can he more beautiful than lan tern lighted Yokohama. As the occidental crosses the bridge over the canal from the foreign quar ter and enters the native city he see® a bewildering maze of lights. Through out Yokohama gas lamp posts are few and far between, a fact which make® the lantern Illumination all the more conspicuous. They are not hung at reg ular heights or Intervals, hut make a sort of tangle of soft colored lights owr the front of the buildings and even across the street.- New York Mull gnd K\pre>*. 1 < «**• of “Qolt«.” ('in .* aJ CV-turner (arousing himself from a 2 ip in a barber’s chair)-—All through, eh?

HOWTHE CHINESE GET RAIN rtclllar rnetlcei In Vokii; In the Celestial Klnsdom. It is one of the peculiarities of the Chinese that, while they have develop ed elaborate philosophies, none of them has led to any confidence In the uni formity of nature. Neither the people uor their rulers have any fixed opinion us to the onuses of rainfall. The plan in some provinces when the need of rain is felt Is to borrow a god from n j neighboring district and petition him I for the desired ruin. If his answer is satisfactory, he Is returned to his home ! with every mark of honor; otherwise j he may be put out in the sun as a hint to wake up and do his duty. A bunch of willow is usually thrust into his hand, ns willow Is sensitive to mois ture. Another plan In extensive use is the building of special temples in which are wells containing several iron tab- ! lets. When there is a scarcity of rain, j a messenger starts out with a tablet j marked with the date of the Journey j and the name of the district making ; the petition. Arriving at another city, [ he pays a sum of money and Is allow- ^ ed to draw a new tablet from the well, j throwing in his own by way of ex- ! change. On the return Journey lie is ! supposed to eat only bran and travel at top speed day and night. Some times he passes through districts as greatly in need of rain ns Ills own. ! Then tiie people in these places way lay him and, temporarily borrowing his tablet, get tlie rain Intended for nnotli- ! er place. Prayers are usually made In tlie fifth j and sixth months when the rainfall is always due, and a limit of ten days ! is set for their effective operation. 1,’n | der such conditions rain usually falls during the prescribed time. When the ! prayers nre In progress, the umbrella, umong other objects, comes under the \ ban. In some provinces foreigners have been mobbed for currying this harmless article at that time. DEATH BY ARSENIC. Tile Way Till* I'uUon Acta l pan the : Human System. When a single dose of arsenle in suf ficient quantity to bo felt has been tak en, colicky pains, bowel disorder and perhaps nausea result. In the course ' of an hour after a poisonous dose lias been taken an Intense burning pain is | felt in the esophagus and stomach. I This spreads to the entire anterior por tion of the lower part of the trunk. A sense of constriction at the throat and an acrid, metallic taste accompany the pain. Then vomiting and relaxation of the bowels begin. As the case pro gresses tlie symptoms Increase In in tensity. Then comes a thirst that wa ter will not allay, although it appar ently Increases the stomach disturb ance. The victim groans and writhes. Now he Implores the doctor to save 1dm. Then he begs to be killed and put out of pain. The extremities become Icy. The pulse Is small, feeble and fre quent, and the breathing is labored, embarrassed and painful because of abdominal tenderness. The surface of the body becomes dark and of that bluish color that medical men call cy anosed. Violent cramps udd their tor ture, exhaustion becomes collapse, con vulsions or coma ensues, and death ends the agony. This torture lasts sometimes from five to twenty hours. In some cases these symptoms occur, but in a modified form, and the doctor will apparently get the better of the disease. The remission will be but for ; a day or two. Then the abdomen will j swell, and ley coldness will pervade i the frame. Shivering will become pro- I nouncod trembling, then crumps, eon- ! vulslotis and death. Dirdu Are Like Hn man IleiuK«. Cunarles, like human beings, vary very much In character, some cocks be ing so indifferent and Idle that they will let the hen do all the work of building and rearing, while they them selves sit and plume their feathers. Others, again, are perfect gentlemen In their manners, waiting on the hen with o quiet courtesy and seeing thnt all she requires Is at once brought to her. Again, the hens vary In disposition, some hens behaving in u quiet, modest way, attending to their young ones with regularity, while others are in u constant state of chatter with their husbunds, peeking and arguing with them every lime they go near. Thus we see thut these little birds have their tiffs and domestic quarrels, not unlike ourselves.—Chambers’ Journal. To Cure Hie Stammerer. It is said that stammerers rarely if ever show any impediment of speech when speaking In whispers. On this fact a method of treatment has been ndvoented, whicli Is as follows: For the first ten days spenking Is prohibited. This will allow rest to the voice and constitutes the preliminary stage of treatment. During the next ten days speaking is permissible In the whisper ing voice, and In the course of the next fiftiTii days the ordinary conversation al tone may he gradually employed. Not to lilaiue.
