Propa STRIKRS STAaTKD BY SPOOKS. .Many Oilier Trades Than Miners Are Siirilorly AHecled. At the momeni ot writing, all Ihc col- lars in the great Abhooz coal-pit near Licge, in Bflgiuni, ore on strike, the cause of their ctosniion of work being n 1 apparition of a ferrrale ligure draped in whit<». This, of cour.se, is no new thing, for miners are provcrbiully superstitious. Indeed, it is only a few years since a piecisely similar occurrence look place at the (Jlyncorrwg (xilliery in Glaraor- gan.shire. In this ca.s<; the "wotimn in \vh:le." as .she acil to be called, wa.s the CRi.se of H loss to the neif^hlxirhood from which it tias even now hardly en- I tirely recovered.

Into this drift one day, a nuner, tx)l<ler than 'his fellows, venture I to penetrate, with 'the result that the "luminous boy" wa.s fcund to he nothing more terrible lliun a post. clothe<i in decaying fungi. It must not be supposed, however, that these spook-induced strikes are entirely confine<l to miners. On the conti-ary, til?

Women of Turkey Daily Becoming Modernized. Compared with flftewi years ago, even tht- outward appeajance of tlje women of Turkey has changed appreciably. Thr' Yaehmak. or v«il, is being more dis- carde'i, and when still worn conceals much less cf Ihe face and figure than be- f< i-e. Dress generally has now a distinct western kuik atout it, and more often than not a modem belt is w<jrn around \*-i- waLst. Perhaps the mo.st noti«»able feciure of Ihe altered conditions of life is the comparative freedom with which rr'Oilem Turkisti women move iboiit in I'liblic.

F.ATAL SLEEPING SICKNE.SS. Prot. Koch Finds That Crocodiles are Ibe Cause. Professor Koch has given a most Interesting account of hij> recient eK- periments in Kast .Mrica to a special corresixjiidoiit of Ihc Lokalunzeiger, of Berlin, Germany. The professor, who is in the be.-»t o( health, said that he had iKvn living tci- the last eighteen months on a de- solate island belonging lo the .'h'ssc group, in the middle of N'ictoria \> an- sa, with an army mettical sergeant ns his so'e while companion. They dwell in a straw hut similar to those occupied by the natives and saw only three £ui»a,peaii5 thr«jugh- out their slay, two of them being Viennese doclors and the third a Ger- man ofTlcial. Tlu'ir only moans of cciitunmiioallon with the world was a (jrimeavnl na.tive ixiat fash:<ine4 out of a tree trunk, which conveyed them lo Ihi- mainland. .•Sleeping sickness Is particularly pre- valent in the Sesse. Islands, the inhabi- tant* <if which are gradually dying off through the ravages of the dl.se.i.se. r'rofe-s.sor Koch has ascertained that wherever croc<xliles are found tho' dis- ease may tie discovered, hut -only in places near the banks. The blood of ci-owidilos forms the chief nourishment of the gtossina palpalis, the insect which conveys the germs of the disease. The in.socts suck I ho blo<jd between the plates of Ihc animal's hide. The extermination of the glossina Is inipossibU', but the same cud may bt reached by destroying the crocodiles 01 by the removal of the hushes and undergrowth where (he animals lurk. Professor Koch made attempts to poison civic«jdili's with prepared meat, but had great diftlcully in preventing Ihe natives fwm seizing and eating it. The principal outcome of r^fessor Koch's investigations Ls thai there is a possibilily now of making a certain diagnosis of .sJee.ping.^i(ikness and of fi<i<ipliiig mtthods to combat it. .Suhcutane<iu.s injections of arsenic tiave prcA'c-d ellicacious, but Ihe chief Tiieans of fighting the disease lie in con- Blant medical attendance and in pre- venting patients from going into hith «rto unitifei-ted parl.s.
