Let «-v- ery man do his beft." Then the two fleets engaged. In less than forty-five miiiuteK the Russians were overwhelmed, but it was not until two days after ward that the last of the Russian iihips, except three which limped into Manila, were either destroyed or eapture<l. I)uring the first min- utes of the fight, when shells jiere spattering about the Mikasa, Togo refused to leave the place he had chosen there, and it was not until several of his «ifiicerh ha<l begun to drag him Ui the conning tower that he agreed to shut himself in behind steel.

Inventer >S<!hr<ieder. an Austral ian, has devised a system of jiro- pelling boats hy air hiihbles. His idea is to force air through a sys- tem of holes ir. the bottom <if the vessel, which are so arranged that there is practically an air cushion between the bottom and the water. Only small engim' power is requir- ed, as the inventiir does not rely on the forcible expulsion of air for Ins motive power, but on the lifting power of the air bubbles them- sohes. By shutting off the air from some of the holes near the slcrrt, the bow can be made to rise so that the ship goes astern. The boats are expecte<l to he able to travel at unheai'<l of speeds, aii<l are non- capsi/ahle. The invention has al- ready hern tested by the a<lmiralty experts. tOULl) SATISFY HKll. , Lady (to clerk in servants' regis- try «iHice)â€""l wpnt a cook, and I want her b.-\d."

Kecoveiy in Ilesull of Loosening tlolhes ami (iiving (old Water anil .iiiimuiiia. Heat collapse is not usually a severe (<iiidition. The patient .sud- denly turns giddy and falls; his skin is moist and cool ; his breath- ing hurried but never sterU-rous ; his pulse .small and soft; his pupils dilated his temperature remains at or fulls Ix-low the normal, while theic is no complete loss of con- sciousness as a rule. Ifccovery giadually ensues, .says the Lon<lon Lancet, when the pia- tient is taken into the shade, his clollu's ai'c liiosenc<I, cold water is <lashed on his head an<l ammonia field to his nostrils. F'ar different, however, is it with heat'lroke. This may be either direct or in- direct, in <liiect heatstroke or sunstroke the attack may occur in more than one form. In one form the persons affected are mostly more or less untrained to severe exertiim as, for instance, young soldiers newly arrived in a hot coiiiitry and iinaecustoined to the fatigue of Hinrching. It is especial- ly likely to affect them when the air is moist, so that the skin action be- comes diminished. Violent head- ache is first complaine<l of; the inarch, however, is still continued, until the patient at length falls down in V oiivulsions, with teeth firmly <lenclicd, insf:xsibility absolute. In a second form the subject, streaming with perspiration, be- comes stea<lily paler, with bliMid- sliot eyes, swollen veins, respira- tion shallow and cjuiet, until he slips to the ground. Consciousness is nut as a rule entirely lost, and revi\al occurs if the patient be re- lieved of all iiiipcdinicnts to free re- spiration. In a third fo:m the patient be- comes exceedingly thirsty without any feeling of fatigue and suddenly falls <lown in a comatose state. In a fdwrtli variety the soldier, for example, after a long march in the sun is seized with a racking bead- ache, which becomes uiore and more agoni/iiig. (Jrcat intolerance to light sets ill an<l iiuconscious- ness folUiws. If the patient recov- ers the intense pain in the head may not. <lisappear for weeks. In <-ases of indirect heat stroke the patient is attached indoors. The temperature may run to 110 de- grees, and in case of death re- mains liigli for some time thereaf- ter. To consi<Ier the various theories advance<l as to the causation of lu.-at striike, there is first the caloric the ory, which attributes the attack to the actii'n of intense heat per se. It is siippose<l that the intensity of the heat <listurbs the regular ac- tion of the heat regulating centres of the Ixxly. Tti this, hnwever, it must he objected that stokers of the steamships in the Red Sea are scarcely even affected by the HEAT OF THE FURNACES. Next there is the autotoxic the- ory, accor<litig to which the hi^;!! teiiiperatuie causes the blood to be- come jKiisonoiis to the nerve cells, especially those of the vasomotor centres an<l cardiac ganglia. Then there is the microbic theory of Dr. Sanibon. which, however, does not seem to be supported liy the facts. The view that in the opinion of the Lancet best accounts for heat stroke is the actinic theory of t'cil. F. Maude, R.K. This distinguished ofticcr had suffered from several at- tacks of sun stioke. when he con- ceived the idea that the rays of the sun which caused such attacks were not the heat rays, but the ac tinic lays situate<l at the other end of the spectrum. It occurred to him that if he lin e<l his helmet with re«l tu cut off these ilicmicttl or actinic rays, just as the photographer lines his <lark room with red for the same reason in developing, he would obviate the disastrous effects «if the sun. He tried it, with the lesult that for many ye.irs he experienced no fur- ther ill effects from the sun. An <iflicer who <li<l not he!i"ve in the theory, however, tine day sur- reptioiisly ahstracte<l the re<l lin ing from Col. Maude's hat as he was about to expose himself to the sun, with tne result that Col. Maude again sufferecl from sun- sti<ike and experienced great chag- rin at the supposed FAILUE OF HIS THEORY until the repentant officer tnld him what he ha<l <lone. Another officer who had previous- ly siiffere<l on three occasiims from sunstroke, causing him to be inval- i<h'<l for nearly five years, also lin- e<l his helmet with re<l, with the result that as each sneeceding hot weather season came round he was enable to live without and discom- fort from the sun. although he had previously suffered severely from headaches. The plan of lining the head cover- ings with red or orange f!ann«4 therefore certainly seems tu deserve a more extended trial. As regards diet, nnxleratiim must he practis<»d both with meat and drink. Alcohol* ic drinks should never be taken by thoso exposed to a hot sun. The best beverages are tea and coffee. HEALTH IN Al STRAMA. Ob.servaliou of llegiilallous HesiiRn in Low Death Kate. Health conditions in Australia are better than in any other coun- try of the globe if the low dtath rate of 10.95 a thousand a year may be accepted us an index, says the Medical Record. The <leath rate from tuberculosis has steadily been declining during the last twenty-five years and now is less than U per cent, of the total deaths, which is a lower per<-entage than any published by any othei country which compiles its statis- tics in an equally accurate man- ner. In Xew South Wales the notific- ation of cases of pjiilmonary and throat tuberculosis has been com- pulsory for over ten years. The walls and ceilings of houses in which cases occur arc sprayed with a solution of formalin and the floors are washed with a su'uti<:r. of corrosive sublimate. The effectiveness of the educa- tional campaign is shown by the fact that open air sleeping is more general than in any other country. There is scarcely a dwelling house constructed nowadays in Australia, even a loborer's cottage, which is not provided with a suitable veran- dah for outdoor sleeping. There is very little expectorating <in the sidewalks or other public places. Ordinances to prevent the con- tamination of milk and other food stuffs are well observed. In shops where fresh meat is offere<l for sale, it is customary to find sheets of water running over the fr<int dindows and walls for the purpose of <'atching dust. All large cities, like Sy<lney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and <ithers. have tuberculosis sana- toria and also a large iiuinber of beds for chronic cases. The CJreen- vale Sanatorium, near Melbourne, will compare favorably with j^iniil- ar institutions in Europe and Am- erica. Gratifying progress has been ma<le in isolating chronic an<l more particularly open cases of tuber- culosis. In New South Wales, Vic- toria, and South Australia it is estimated that at least M per cent. of these cases have been placed in hospitals and a good proportion <if the remainder uiulcr supervision. The health officials believe that on- ly a few years will elapse before every case of pulmonary an<l throat tuberculosis will be uiuler such con- trol as to reduce the ilanger of (ransinitting the infection to a min- inuini. *- W HITE .MAN UOOMEI). Frofes.sor Thinks Fair Skinned Races Will Vanish From Earth. If we are to take seriously the predictions of Prof. Lionel W. Lyde, of Lon<lon University, the outlook for the white man on the face of this earth is gloomy in- <leed. Much has heen written at <iiie time an<l another regar<ling the the ability of the white man to live in the tropics ami to retain his bodily and mental vigor. The cHin- sensus of opinion, as pointed out by The Medical Recoi<f, has been that he cannot <lo so, but after a time he will surely deteriorate, physicaN ly and mentally. Furthermore, white natives whose ancestors have lived three or more generations in the tropics are not, Witt) rare exceptions, the peers either in bixly or inind of their re- latives living in the temperate zone. I'rof. l.y<le not only insists that the white num cannot live in health in tropicjil countries, but he also professes to believe that the white man is <looined to VHuisli from the face of the earth, giving way to the colored races. The English pro- fessor bases his belief on the the ory that the original color of the human skin was <lark brown, the variations <if that color being the results of the weakening or strengthening of the pigment under different climatic conditions. Taking ordinary precautions it may be possble for the white man, two years of aeclimitization, to live in the tiopiis even moie immune from tropical diseases than the black. liut this period of immun- ity lasts for only about seven years, after which the deteriorating ef- fects of the strong solar light and heat begin to show themselves nn the white skin, and render the pos- sessor thereof peculiarly suscept- ible to trojiieal diseases. In conse- quence the permanent settlement of the tropics by white men is im- possible. But while the pigment with which the colored races is provided is indispensable for life in the tropics, it is :i source of no <langer in the temperate or frigid Zones; therefore the dark or yellow- man can intrude into the domain uf the man of fair skin with little or no danger. Never judge a woman by the com- pany she is compelled to enter- tain. People don't seem to care how you gat your money ; they are in- terested only in how joti spend it. Jl VmUIIBLE SOCAHSIICK SWINDLIX(; THE I'MTED STATES II STOMS. Smugglers lle(|uire a Conibiaaliuu of Iiigeniilly anil Brass-Hound In)|iudeiice. Twenty-four years ago the writer passed, for the first time, through the New York Customs. He liad two big trunks full of kit; but less than half an hour's delay in a large, draughty wooden shed was enfiugh to convince the officials that he was not a smuggler, and a payment of four ilollars and (ifty centsâ€" IBs. - duty on a new Flnglish saddle was all that was demanded. Things are very different nowa- days. The Customs Houses in New York, Boston, and other big Amer- ican ports, are regular inquisitions. To <leal with women, who are the worst offenders, clever female in- spectresses are employed, and not only are their skirts searched for lace, but their hair was probed to sec if diamonds or other precious ston^-< are concealed in the sinn- ing coils. CIGARS RUBY BRAND. The modern smuggler must be emlowed with a combination of in- genuity and brass-bound impud- ence. "Anything to declare!" asked the officer of a smartly-dressed first- class passenger, who arrived the other day in New York on a big Hamburg-American liner. "Yes; two boxes of- cigars! " was the reply. They were handed over for ex- amination, and a duty of a dollar was demanded, and paid on each box. Had the officials unly known it, there were hi<lden inside those cigars cut rubies of a value of something over $">,'), 000. The roan who caused the United States Customs officials more trou- ble than any other person was a certain famous gem smuggler. It is said that, in all, he iinpoited $1,- ,W0,000 worth of stones without pay- ing a penny in duty. His dodges were endless. On one occ^ision he hid â- '?l-25.t)On worth of diamonds in a rattle, and gave it to a baby -child of one of the steer- age passengers- to play with while the officials were c.onducting...their search. At another time he had a consignment of <liamoiids east into a lump of sngarstick. The sugar was transparent, but so, too, were the stones, and anyone could exam- ine the lump of sweetness without the least suspicion that it was any thing but what it seemed to be. BETRAYED BY A OIRL. On this occasion, again, he i-m- plove<l a child to help him carry through the deception. A five-year- oUI girl was borrowed, and taught to call him uncle. She carried tho lump of candy in her hand as she left the !*ip, and when one of the Cust^im House officials asked if he might have a bite, she cried. The trick was successful. It was years before he was even suspected^ for he was clever enough to announce openly that he '.as im- porting gems, and he always de- clare<I a giKKlly number of stones. F.ventually, he was betrayed by a girl. He"ha<l induce<l her to help him under promise of marriage. When she found out that lie already had a wife, she made the whole story public, and he was not only heavily fiiie<l, but sentenced to a term of imprisonment. Diamonds are liid<len in the hol- lowed-out heels of boots, i.i cakes, of soap, in the corks of perfumery bottles, and in the hollow legs of dolls. There are in the Customs Muse- um in New York over a hundred different articles in which precious stones have been discovered. Among these are a score of 3'2-eali- bre revolver cartridges. The smug- gler ha<l taken out the contents of the »-artvidges, rephiceil the powder with diamonds, ami then put the bullets hack. The trick would never have been discovere<l had not the would bo smuggler heen so pleased vvith his own ingenuity that he boasted of it to a friend. A Customs secret service spy overheard him, and he was arrested on arrival. l^erhaps the clverest do<lge of all for -smuggling diamonds was that practised for years by a lady smug- gler. She hid them in the urtific ial grapes which lulorned her hat. Th.ere is a heavy duty on silks im- ported into the States. Uncle Sam was swindled by one firm who sent over packages of. apparently, cot- ton quilts, und which paid duty as Mich. They were mere tlummics stuffe<l with silk. WHF:N DUTIES GO UP. Another unscrupulous smuggler waa, professedly, an exporter of "olive oil. It was a long time before the Cus'iurt House aecidentally dis- covere«l that the flasks were «luin- mies with a large compartment in each, containing fine. French brarniy. Smugglers like to jhjc <Uities go up. Some years ago the tariff- on opium imported into the States vuse from six dollars to ten dollarji it, pound. Drtty-jpaid imports dropped one year from $1,040,000 to $20'},- 000. This did not mean that any ie»s opium was hrougnt inâ€" merely tiiat It was being smuggled. (.Quantities of tlij drug came in hidden in bloc'j. of coal in the* stokeholds of trans-F'acific "team- ships. When the ship came iuto port the cases were cxtractAl from the coal, and dropped overbo.'ird with floats attached. Fishing boats . came out hy night, and picked them up. An immen.se cargo of opinm was once brought into Piiget Sound hid- den in large balks of timber, bored and phigged to hold the cases. COFFIN AND THE CORPSE. Coffins are always looked upoB with suspicion by the' Customs. Some time ago, a lead casket, ac- companied by sorrowing relatives in deepest mourning, w6,s unloaded at New York. The authoritiea smelt a rat, and insisted upon ita hei-.ig opened. To their discomfit- ure It wa.s found to contain a, corpse. But at that moment an inspector caught an eye keenly- watching his movements from behind a bl;nk- bordered Handkerchief. He explor- ed fuither, and found silks and laces enough to stock a small shop.
