Chicago, July ii.— There was some disap
pointment in the ranks of the' hears when
Liverpool cables only showed a <l< line of
~1 from yesterday, only partially fol
lowing our dec- iiie of yesterday. Some
covering followe-d, but St. Louis sent pood
crop news, which offset Theoman’s report
to some > xtent and wheat, for the first
tin’f session, was barely steady. Theo
nian's condition of w nter wheat, 87.1 vs.
hi. 2 last month and 81.5' last .t ear, shows:
that while crop will be a record breaker,
< sum,ties of 700,000,'M0 bush* is of last
month, are far 100 liberal. The strength
In cash wheat in the last hour helped late
options, anti the wheat market clo-ed lirtn
at top prices, w ith September and Decem
ber lc above yesterday's close. The pres
ent market will continue to be Influenced
by dally crop reports and Liverpool cables.
The short interest, while continent in low
er prices intimately, is feverish, and could
easily be run to cover temporarily. Corn
shows improvement on the backward taws
of crop, which is atvcrStl weeks late in
sections.
THE UK KM IV SI * STROKE.
Vevr Theory Suggested 11 y nil Emi
nent Italian Physician.
From the Medical Record.
Sunstroke, though known since early
times, is even yet not well understood.
The belief that to produce It the body,
and particularly the head, must be ex
posed to the direct rays of the sun has
long since passed away, and It is now a
matter of common knowledge that, al
though heat is the principal exciting cause,
there nre several other predisposing
causes besides heal.
Dr. Ij. Santbon has quite recently pro
mulgated anew theory as to the cause of
thermic fever, in which the ever-afctive
microbe plays the chief part. According
to the distinguished Italian physician,
thermic- fever, or siriasis as he prefers to
term it, is not heat fever tit all, but a
distinct Infectious disease. He says: "I
believe beat exhaustion to be nothing more
than syncope arid siriasis. a specific in
fectious disease." Again: "The Idea that
siriasis Is due to excessive heat Is greatly
derived from (he fact that it occurs dur
ing the hottest season of the year, but
such argument is manifestly illogical. Al
though siriasis be intimately connected
with the hot season, it exhibits remark
able endemic characters. In one locality
It is extremely prevalent, in another it is
totally absent, though the region may be
quite adjacent and under precisely sim
ilar climatic influences.” On the whole.
Dr. Sambort makes out a strong if uncon
vincing case for the germ theory, and at
any rate, be he right or wrong, his opin
ion must necessarily carry great weight.
In the present state of things, however.
Interesting as the etiology of heatstroke
naturally is, we are not so much concern
ed with I theoretical ns with the prac
tical side of the question. A large num
ber of our troops will shortly be in the
Islands of Cuba and of the Philippines,
countries in which the .conditions are pe
culiarity favorable to the accident of
heatstroke in one or other of its forms,
and therefore it may not be out of place
to cull from the writings of experienced
men some precautions that should be tak
en to prevent Its occurrence, as well as
its treatment.
Fayrer wisely remarked that “the prin
cipal object should be prevention. The
clothing should be light and loose, and
woolen material should bo worn next the
skin, and cotton or linen Is decidedly
harmful. The head and spine should be
protected from the direct rays of the sun
out of doors by a pith lt.it and a cotton pad
let into tile coat over the back of the neck
and spin*'. The accounterments should bo
as light <ts possible. Moderation in diet
is) especially to be enjoined; very little an
imal food should be taken, and the food,
while suilclently nutritious, should be light
and unstimulating. Iced water, when pro
curable, should l>e drunk freely and fre
quently, and the greatest moderation in
the use of stlmuants should be observed.”
The treatment recommended in ordinary
heat exhaustion is cold water da she* l on
the head, and rest. For thermic fever,
cold bath, cold affusions; quinine to be
given Internally, and, if quinine is not ef
fective, phenuovtin or some drug of a like
nature. When insomnia is distressing
hypnotics may be useful, but must tie
given with great caution,and opium avoid
ed, if possible. But, although our soldiers
in Cuba, and the Philippines have our
sympathy and have good reason to dread
the heat, we must not forget that Ihose
on board a Ship of \v\r —and especially
the engineers and firemen—are in tills re
spect in a still worse plight.
Of the fifty-nine cases of heatstroke that
occurred In the Fnlted Slates navy in IS9O
no less titan forty of these were caused
by heat in fire and engine rooms. Prob
ably little can !>e done to ameliorate their
condition lo any extent or in the way of
prevention, but a suggestion made by Dr.
John D. Thompson might, if carried Into
effect in times *>f peace, be of benefit in
treating coses of sunstroke. His id* a*
is to have a room collected with the re
frigerator, when the temperature could
bo gradually lowered and the atmosphere
kept fresh and cool.
We may, however, rest assured that, so
far us the present war is concerned, the
rare of both our soldiers and sailors Is hi
good hands, anil that every necessary step
will lie taken to keep th< m in good health
and to treat them efficiently when at
tacked by disease.
The Heat In the Monitors.
From the Boston Transcript.
Monitors have been doing cruising, but
are not intended for It, The speed Is very
slow, thy carry liule coal, and in this bol
weather are regular sweat Ixtxes. The
temperature in my state room
is 92 to 95 degrees, which
is oooi compared to that of tne
warrant officers, where it Is never below
106 degrees at sea. or between decks, where
it is often 125 degrees. In the engine room
lid degrees to 160 degrees is the rule. It is
remarkable that only two men are to-day
on the sick list out of 216. The men are
standing ll well, but the doctors are wor
lying about the future, as the strain raid
beat are getting worse as the war con
tinues and summer is approaching. When
working the turrets 1 have to strip to
uudi rshirt and dungaree pants, anj the
men strip to bare backs. In action, with
guns heating up. it will be no eol*l storage
room und* r (lie steel turrets, heated by
the sun pouring uixtn tin in outside. Every
body 1“ in good spirits except on account
of not gelling at tlie enemy. That is chaf
ing us all. The crew anil officers of this
ship, iik, those of every other ship in the
fleet, ate !\d-hot for a scrap, and ure en
vious of every ship or tug that occasion
ally has a brush.

The Spanish I toy (it Standard.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The Spanish royal standard is most com
plicated. The red and yellow of the S|tn
ish flag is said to bo derived from tills oc
currence: in 1378 Charles the Bold dipped
bis lingers lit tlie blood of Geoffrey, Count
of Barcelona, and drew them down the
Count’s golden shield, lit token of his ap
preciation of the latter's bravery. The
shield, so marked, ltecame the arms of
Barcelona, w hich became part of Arrugon,
and its arms were taken by that kingdom.
Now to the royal standard: In the first
quarter, or upper left-hand |>nrt of the flag,
are the arms of Leon und Castile, the Hon
and the castle; the second quarter is tok
en up. one-half by the arms of Arragon,
one-half by the arms of Sicily. The upper
third of the third quarter (directly under
the tirsti, shows the Austrian colors, the
lower two-thirds is divided between the
flag of Burgundy and the black lion of
Flanders; the upper third of the fourth
quarter shows the chequers, another Bur
gundian device, while the lower two-thirds
is shared by the re*l eagle of Antwerp and
the golden lion of Brabant, and on the top
of all this arc two shields, one showing the
Portuguese arms, the oilier the French
lleur-de-lls. Considerable of a flag that.
—Similar. —“Water’s talk reminds me bo
much of a river.” “It does run pretty
steadily.” “Yes; and thouch there Is un
doubtedly some connection between his
head and his mouth, it is not apparent."—

LEMAITHE ON THE CLASSICS.
The French Academician** Plea for
Modern Studied,
Following is the address delivered by M.
Jules Lemaitre at the Sorbonne, in Paris,
on June 6:
“There are some sad (ruths which you
all know. We are very much surpassed
by other people In productive activity.
France Is no longer an industrial and com
mercial power of the first order. Our colo
nies will not save us unless we know 'how
to manage them. Every one agrees that
we have need of the most serious reforms.
Everybody knows also that the reform
which envelops and conditions till the
others is that of the individual. But it is
no longer the time to reform all the adult
and mature people among us. It is, then,
on the rising gent ration that we should
act; it is our children whom we should
raise so that they might be healthier and
stronger than we. Now, there is a terrible
unsuitableness between the teaching which
is given to the children, for tdte most part,
of the middle classes and what they will
have to do in life.
“1 would like, first, to speak against ihe
oOasslcal teaching; second, to speak ftr
the modern teaching, and sketch, if I *an,
the programme lor it. In spite of the ex
perimental and contradictory modifications
introduced within twenty years in the pro
grammes, secondary classical education is
fundamentally what it was under the an
cient regime. It is given less well, that is
all. What does this mean? All has
changed; the discoveries of science applied
have profoundly modified the conditions of
life for the individual and -for the people,
and (he face even of the earlh; the defi
nite reign of industry and commerce lias
come; we are a democratic und industrial
society,' threatened, or rather, half ruined,
already by the comi/etition of powerful
nations; and the children of our small
tradesmen and a numl/er of the children
of the masses pass eight years tn learning
—very badly'—the same things that the
Jeeuit Fathers formerly taught—very well
—ln a monarchiul society, in a t ranee
whose supremacy was recognized by Eu
rope. and at an epoch when Latin was the
universal language, to the sons of the no
bility, of the judicial body and of the
privileged classes!
“Is this not a shameless anachronism.
And the belief in the present utility of
this education, at present, is it not an ex
travagant prejudice? But I would mis
trust this argument a priori if 1 dm not
feel it confirmed by my own personal ex
perience. .You know what the partisans
of the ancient education say: ’We arc
the spiritual descendants of the Latins
and Greeks. To learn thfdr language is
to learn ours, and to know it better. It
is to communicate with the glorious past,
it is to hold on to the most illustrious
of traditions: it is to broaden our lives.
These students are the best discipline for
us. These ancient books are the treasu
ries of general ideas and of generous
thoughts. It was not without good cause
that classical studies were formerly tail
ed the “humanities.” We drew from
them the love of the beautiful, taste, the
sentiment of brder and of measure, lhese
languages and these literatures are ex
cellent educators,’ etc.
"Now, at this moment, I no longer know
a word of Greek, and it does not happen
three times a year that 1 read Latin; fife
is too short. But perhaps these languages
which I nestled to-day have left in me a
store of noble emotions anil of ideas fiom
which I continue to profit without per
ceiving it. Frankly! I do not believe it.
Every time that 1 think of some ancient
work 1 am forced to confess that 1 do
not get a direct view of it. It no longer
appears to me except through the enrich
ed versions that the classical French has
given it, and, above all, through the in
terpretations of contemporary critics. And
its beauty is sensible to me only by the
comparison which l make of it with works
nearer to me. And what is, then, this fa
mous treasury of general ideas, of educat
ing ideas, of which the Greek and Latin
literatures are supposed to have the mo
nopoly? , . .
“L<t us not speak of the Greek, which,
even in su[xrlpr education, is well known
only by a few specialists. This pretended
sole and Irreplaceable treasury is some
pages of Lucretius, whose principal inter
est is in being vaguely Darwinian; it is in
some seems of Plautus and of Terence,
almost inferior to the imitations that Mo
liert has made of them; it is in \ irgil,
some selections from the Georgies, which
are not worth certain ixisßages of Lamar
tine or M.ehelet, and the loves of Dido,
which are equal to the Racinian loves of
Berenice nnd of the ltoxune; it Is lu the
chapters of Tacitus on Nero; it is in the
letter* of Horace —the Wisdom of Beran
ger and of Snreey; It is in the ec eetic
philosophical compilations of (..cero, it is
in the theatrical stoicism of the letter*
and ire.itl, of Seneca, and finally In the
rhetoric, learned hut almost always the*
some, of Livy and of the Condones.
Nothing more, in truth.
“Now, ali this Is found gathered up by
Montaigne alone; then all spread through
the writ rs of the seventeenth century,
poets, diamatists, philosophers, orators,
where w have only' to go and take it.
All th* •substantial marrow of antiquity
has liven assimilated by our classics since
the sixt*. nth century. They have digested
it for us. Of what use is M to do over
again a work which they* have dont? so
wt 11, and uselssly to begin again, on our
own account, this tong digestion?
Pin reality., and we feel It well, tt Is
neither to the Greeks nor the Romans
(unless tn t very accessory and Indirect
way) that we owe the formation of our
heart and mind; It Is. above a 1. to the
Gospel; ti Is to th.. French classical wri
ters; it is io Montaigne, to Pascal, to La
Bruyere; it is, perhaps, to Voltaire and to
i Rousseau; it is to Chateaubriand, to La-
martine, to Vigny, to Michelet, to Sainte-
Beuve, to Renan and to others among us.
“And because I passed twelve years of
my life in learning Latin and Greek I
recognize more and more that I know
nothing. I am Ignorant of English, which
half of the world sneaks; and I know so
little of German that it is a shame. You
will say that I had the choice of studying
them when I was young; but Is It my
fault if, like almost all other children, I
possessed, only a limited and mediocre ca
pacity for Intellectual work, which was
entirely absorbed by these dead languages,
the study of which a blind tradition im
posed upon me, and from which I was
to draw so little advantage?
“The beauty of German and of English,
which I only half see, so rich, so pro
found. is closed to me. I am not able
even to travel with profit. I have forgot
ten the little that I knew of mathematics
and natural science; my limbs are awk
ward; I do not even possess a manual
trade, and I would be, In a desert land,
the most helpless of ‘Robinsons. I am
good for nothing but to write. And even
this I would not dare to affirm that I
owe to my Latin; for, after all, neither
you nor I can pretend to write more pure
ly than Louise Veuillot or George Sand,
neither of whom regularly studied the
ancient classics.
“The fact remains, then, that the study
of dead languages is valuable simply as
an exercise of the mind. But why would
the study of living languages be less val
uable in this respect? So far as I am
able to judge, the German grammar is
more beautiful, more harmonious in its
complexity, than the Latin, and Is not
less so than the Greek. And as to the in
tellectual and moral substance of ancient
literatures, it is not only through the
classics among us that it would penetrate
into the minds of our children, it is still
more—and how enriched!—through mod
ern languages and literature.
“If the benefit of Latin is lost on me,
who have known it for twenty years, and
who have been what one calls a ‘man
flarin’ (I can say it without vanity, since
we are thousands), and if, on the con
trary, it lias prevented me from acquiring,
of what profit can Latin be for nine-tenths
of our students, who have only the ap
pearance of learning it, but who do not
and may never know it?
“Thus they will have doubly lost their
time, since they will have passed it in not
learning a language which, if they had
learned it, W'ould have been almost use
less to them. And this time would have
been bet ter employed, I do not even say in
the study of living languages, of natural
sciences and of geography (that is too ev
ident), but in games, in gymnastics, in
manuel work—anything, debauchery ex
cepted.
“Understand me well; it is not a question
of uncrowning the French mind. It is not
a question of suppressing the Faculty des
l-ettres, the College de France, the Ecole
Xormale Superieure, the Ecole des Haules
Etudes nor the Ecole des Charles. It Is
not a question of abolishing high culture,
for which secondary classical instruction
is a condition, and, consequently, it is not
a question of destroying this teaching,
but to know whether it is reasonable to
give it, as we do to the majority of the
children of the people.
“It is wilj that th< re Fhould be learned
men, eplgramniists, historians, philosop
hers and even simple humanists. But.
never fear, we shall always have enough
of them, and those who will remain to
us will be worth the more, since they will
only obey a decided taste and follow an
imperious vocation.
I do not occupy myself now
wfth exceptions, but with the mass. I say
that a mediocre Bachelor of Letters—that
is to say, a good young man who knows
neither Latin nor Greek, but who, in re
turn, does not know living languages, ge
ography or natural science and better—is
a monster, a prodigy of nothingness.
“Here is what is to be desired:
“For the great majority of children who
will have to earn their living by daily toil
a 'modern education,’ not more hybrid
than it is to-day, but more largely and
freely organized, the programmes of which
will no longer appear servile imitations,
in Latin and Greek, at least, of those of
classical studies.
"A transformation of most of the lycees
Into lycees of modern Instruction. Two or
three lycees of Baris, and, If It Is desired,
those of the university cities, should re
main alone consecrated to the teaching of
Greek and Latin, which we should
strengthen by the restoration of old meth
ods.
“Finally, equality for the two branches
in the qualifications for entrance into the
School of Medicine and the Schopl of Law.
It is a Joke to pretend that Greek and
Latin are necessary to a physician, an
apothecary, a judge and a lawyer. In or
der that the physician should know the
terminology of his art it is sufficient for
him to learn a vocabulary of 200 or 300
Lsit in or Greek words. The Indispensable
vocabulary of a lawyer is still less. And
there exist good translations of Roman
law—to which, besides, X doubt if they will
ever have recourse.
“ ’This third point which I maintain, I
know, will run counter to many prejudices,
but it appears to me necessary. This will
not cease to bo so until the French have*
lost their superstition about the liberal
professions. A university man of great
exix rience said to me; ‘So long as Latin
is demanded of candidates for medicine
and law. nothing can bo done, and many
fathers and families, even thinking as
you and I, will' at all hazard see their
children on the benches of classical in
struction.’
“One of the principal obstacles to the
development of modern teaching is, in
fact, the vanity of the bourgeois. It is
from simple vanity that the greater part
of such fathers obstinately demnnd for
their children secondary classical instruc
tion, 'fnlre res cluencs,' ‘Mire ses etudes.’
This, among us, has but one sense: to
learn Gw.ck and Latin as if all cither

Wlip Th.-y Wore Armor.
From Pearson's.
To such a pitch of exasperation did the
practice of using buttons in the shirt
drive the men of the middle ages that they
adopted the plan of wearing brass or steel
armor, fastened together with metallic
bolts. The popular idea that men woro
armor In order to fight it is manifestly
absurd, sine® no mnn could possibly have
fought when incased ih half a hundred
weight of metal. Armor was worn solely
in order to avoid the worry of shirts wilM
missing buttons.
There were distinct advantages cot
nected with the chain steel shirts.

bosom were ail in their, proper pl ie s. ‘
no washerwoman could haye zucce- s
detaching them without the use of a 1
chisel. If ii did so happen that
washerwoman's husband had bent t
over by n steam roller while w< -

customers, and one of the metallic ' ]
