When I took my first jinriWsha rid' through the streets of Nagasaki.

The coolies wear thin blue cotton clothes nnd are always pad din ; through the mud. The storekeep¬ ers sit out in their open booths, and the wot; ;■ go bareheaded about the streets. In 11 houses of the rich the still cold behind the closed panels is often more inti n. e than that outside in the sun¬ shine, where the air is stirring. The schools and public buildings are equal¬ ly frigid. “It seemed to me that the only warm tlili’; ' in Japan were the babies, who look 'd like bundles of gayly colored crape, their round heads covered by knit caps. They slumber peacefully tucked down their mothers’ backs. The attempt to keep warm in winter is not entirely a ‘modern Improvement,’ though it goes with western civilization. The Koreans do it very thoroughly, the Chi¬ nese to a certain extent. The Japanese, ns a race, continue to scorn It ns they always have done, and this is merely one of a hundred examples which prove that the Japanese are still true to their traditions In their dally life and os yet little affected in the ordering of their homes by the IdeaB adopted from the west.” NOVEL CURES. Unique Method. Kinployed in Over¬ come Certain Dlneasea. Freezing, baking, illuminating, tor turiiiat, frightening and bruising nra among the accepted ways of curing cer¬ tain diseases, says a writer In the Phil¬ adelphia Times. I-'or example, the bak¬ ing cure: When one has a well devel¬ oped rheumatism, lie is placed in n spe¬ cif: of stove and the crystals of uric acid are literally melted out of his body. Another odJ cure once tried for rheumatism was burial In damp, warm clay. The first rheumatic burial took place at Menominee, Mich. The treatment was not a success, aud this form of cure has been given up. The freezing cure: This was first In¬ troduced by a Swiss doctor, Paul Bttr deyrout. He placed his patients in sheets immersed In ice water, packing the patient all about with crushed (ye This treatment is today u-*d in typhoid fever cases. Or the patient is plunged into an ice water bath. The treatraent saves many lives. IJaging fever *bove 103 degrees F. has been brought dowu by these mer.i: to normal—98 2-5 degrees—In less than ten minutes. . Neither of these modes of treatment actually freezes one. A physician of Paris, M. Figcau. Introduced in ISlR) an ammonia vapor method, which really froze the patient. The body was placed in a chamber Into'which certain chem¬ icals were Introduced. Ammonia gas. by sudden evaporation, then produced Intense cold, nnd the blood in the body lost most of its heat. M. Figeau’s method did not meet with success. Some of Ills patients succumbed to the drastic measures, aud the practice was abandoned. i Tbe Wheel Problem. Which, at any given moment, is mov¬ ing forward faster—the top of a coach wheel or the bottom? The answer to this question seems simple enough, but probably nine per eons out of tcu, asked at random. would give the wrong reply. It would appeur at first ^lght that the top and bottom must be moving at the anme rate—that is. the speed of the carriage. But In a' little thought it will be die covered that the bottom of the wheel is in fact, by the direction of its mo¬ tion around its axis, moving backward. In an opposite direction to that which the carriage Is advancing and ia con¬ sequently stationary In space, while the point on top of the wheel is mov¬ ing forward with the double velocity of its own motion around the axis and the speed at which the carriage moves. u of the Sea. Flower Garden* The sea has its flower gardens, but the blooms are not on plants as they are on the laud. It Is the animals of the sea that make the gardens, the corals of the tropical waters particu¬ larly making a display of floral beauty that fairly rivals the gorgeous color¬ ing and delicate grace presented by laud flowers. Ho closely do they resem¬ ble plant blooms that It is hard to be¬ lieve that they are wholly animal in organization. Dr. F* lack ford says that among the coral gardens there arc fishes of curious forms and flashing colors darting about, Just as the bird* find butterflies dart about plant f»p $«us on land.—Chicago Chronicle. \ OOKI LOOK!
