New Orleans, May 17.—There Is a place behind the levee on the east bank of the Mississippi 80 milee above New Orleans that the river boats pass In the early morning long before the passengers leave theJr berths, so it is not pointed out as one of the sights of the river. Perhaps It would not be pointed out, anyway, as It could hardly be expected to enhance the attractiveness of the route.

' " V/ r plantation negro, passing It on the river road, “get* a gait on” his mule, because of a superstitious dread; and to those even, who fear only the material, the eerie atmosphere brings a shudder. The char acter of the place is little known, ex cept to the Creoles of Iberville, the parish In which it lies, and to the steamboatmen who bring supplies to It. An uninform ed person would suppose it was only one of the several deserted plantations to be seen along the Mississippi, relics of Louis iana's '"fo de wah” glory, though a larger and grander ruin than the others. Such It was until 1894, when put to its present use. It is now a leper colony, the only institution of its kind in tha United States. When arrangements were made in 1894 for the removal of the band of lepers hitherto confined in a pesthouse on the outskirts of New Orleans to the old and long deserted mansion in Iberville parisli \ , \ * 1 J the dilapidated plantation home that THE SISTERS OC CUPY. the residents of tlye parish threatened to attack the Invading force and burn down the place. When they learned, however, that the state officials stood ready to hack the project with a military force they gave In. Late on the night of Nov. 30 the melancholy procession moved out from the pesthouse and climbed Into cov ered wagons, which were driven to the river front, where a barge, towed by a t"g. was awaiting them. No steamer would convey them, fearing to hurt Its passenger traffic. In the morning they were safely lodged In their new quarters, end there began for them an easier and Pleasanter life than they had known elnce the relentless law had shut them off from their fellow men. The leper settlement proper Is enclosed by a high board fence, outside of which none of the lepers are ever allowed; not even after death, for they are burled In their own little cemetery In the south esst corner of the enclosure. About IS acres are enclosed. On three sides of this Is thick forest; on the fourth the river. The two long rows of cottages that were once slave quarter* have been repaired end are now the hornet of the lepers. The men occupy one row and the women the oth er. Between the tows a double line ct moss-oovefed oaka rune the entire length. On the men's side, In the space between their cottages snd the fence. Is a vegeta ble garden that the able-bodiled among them work. On the women’s side Is a flower rardtn that occupies much of their time. One of the cottages on the women's 'lda It used aa a chapel. The dining room la the half of a raised cottage that "rosses the enclosing fence. Thoee who *fe able walk to their meals and help 'he sisters attend the other*. The half of thla house without the enclosure te used by Father Claltey, the prleat now ministering at the Institution. When the new site we# decided upon the Slater# of Charity were asked to take ' harge of It. The mother euperior of the organisation asked for volunteers, for she would tend no others on such a mission. Home stld they would go anywhere they were sent, but could never volunteer for 'his fearful work. Four stave up thetr to the cere of ttye lepers To this number a Miss Dehan, not a elster, added her services. Several priests have been assigned to serve for short periods un til relieved. As y&t none have contracted the disease. They live apart from the lepers entirely, and when waiting upon them or caring for them they wear gloves. This noble little band has made the home a home indeed, but their toils have not eradicated the horror of the place felt among the lepers of the outer world who have succeeded In preserving the secret of their affliction. The law of the state provides that all lepers shall be commit ted to this institution; but the law is not enforced. There are now 32 lepers con fined here, while nearly 200 are harbored secretly in their homes. The identity of those confined at the Institution is maintained a profound se cret and few outsiders are allowed to enter the place. A permit, by no means easy to obtain, must be presented before a visitor is admitted. The most tragic cases at the institution are two young girls, both of them beautiful, cultured and members of prominent Louisiana families. Not a mark has yet appeared upon the face of either—but they wear gloves, always. When the writer visited the enclosure these girls were sifting in the garden, reading to several children and old men. A sister Introduced the writer to the girls without mentioning their names. Both talked cheerfully and without reference to their terrible fate. Their cases are. of course, hopeless; ail leprosy cases are. Life in the settlement Is by no means FATHER CLAFFEY AND THE SISTERS WHO CARE FOR THE LEPERS. as terrible for the most of the lepers as one might suppose. Many of them are perfectly able to do a good days' work, but no labor la required of them. What work they do is done of their own free will. Many of them take a great pride tn their gardens. For recreation the live liest of them play croquet and even lawn tennis; while those who are partly inca pacitated carve wooden ornaments and crochet. They have all sort of indoor games, and friends keep them supplied with reading matter. Complaining, pet ulance or rebellion against their fate is almost unknown among these unfortu nates. They await the inevitable end with a quiet and touching patience, treat ing each other with unfailing sweetness and tenderness. They are a devoutly re ligious body. Marriage, of course. Is not permtited among them. The children of the settlement were all legally assigned there with one or the other of their pa rents. Though laprosy is more prevalent among the negroes than among the whites, there are but seven negro In mates of the colony. There has been but one escape from the Inciosure, that of a lad who scaled the fence and got safely away. About a month after he had gone the Sisters received a letter thanking them for all tljelr kindness and Informing them he was on his way to the Sandwich Islands, where there was more scope for those of his affletion. This Institution is not the first leper col ony In this country; It has had two pre decessors. both In the same state. There has been leprosy In Louisiana since the Spanish regime It was brought over to the province from the West Indies; and by 17.(6 th leprous beggars In the streets of New Orleans had become so numor- FATHER CLAFFBY IN THE COTTAGE OF A LEPER- THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. MAY 19, 1901. ous that the authorities had to establish a home and isolate them. The home wjs erected on Metarie Ridge, a high strip of land surrounded by swamps, Just west of the city. It lasted fifteen years, until the patients disappeared, either by death or escape. The crusade had ended after forty had been ferreted out and Incar cerated there, and then the unfortunate beings were left to eke out a doubtful existence. Little or no attention was paid to them further than the provision of funds to imburse the contractor for their care; and rumor has it that the lack of care and the desolate surroundings hast ened deaths and warranted departures. “Leper Land," as the spot was called, remained a wild-looking place until 1805, when a band of itinerant Indians pitched tlieir tents upon it and tore down the rattle-trap building for firewood. Relieved of this constant reminder of the prevalence of the disease, and heat ing and seeing little of it. because of the seclusion kept by the lepers, who feared another crusade against them, the pub lic grew apathetic to or forgot the dan ger. So, on to 1878, the disease smoul dered in hidden quarters. In this time 80 cases were admitted to the Charity Hos pital in Near Orleans. The Board of Health became fearful, at this Juncture, that so many should remain at large, and began a canvass to ascertain the ex act number there were in the state, with a view to recommending to the Legisla ture that they be again isolated. But, owing to a rumor persistently circulated that the authorities intended nelzlng the lepers and transporting them to an island in the Mexican Gulf and there abandon ing them, considerable difficulty was ex perienced in locating them, and only 37 were ascertained. After two years the board succeeded in having the cases then under Its surveil lance consigned to a building in the sub urbs set apart as a pesthouse. The his tory of this place is the same pitiful ta(6 as the former; no management, a dearth of attendants, and those few inefficient or fearful of their duties. As new cases were discovered they were sent to this place. A number of cases developing In the proximity of this home and the old one was the cause of the state establish ing another apart from all habitation. This tvas the present institution, as suc cessful as such a colony may be. Frederick Moore. Ancient Bookkeeping Methods. Fror the London Chronicle. The collection of Assyrian and Babylon ian records at the British Museum has revealed more of the domestic life of peo ple who lived 6,000 year ago than is known in the case of our own countrymen 1,000 years ago. Such was the opinion ex presesd by Mr. W. St. Chad Boscawen when he explained these relics to an In terested audience. The clay bricki and cylinders beneath the glass cases were covered with characters testifying to a completely organized system of Justice, marriage, divorce, and commerce. The bookkeeping of 5.000 years ago was shown to be wonderfully accurate.

The "open and closed evidence" spoken of by Jeremiah is supposed to refer to this system. The practice of recording on a brick the name of the King, of the building, and of the city in which it wag being erected has had the advantage in modern daya that an old brick may become the means of disinterring a city hitherto unknown. —Recent balloon ascensions have fur nished the following data: A balloon sent up at Cracow to a hlght of 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) registered a minimum tem perature of 23.9 degrees C.

ELECTRICITY OFFERS GREAT IN DUCEMENTS TO WOMECN SEEKING A PROFESSION, Hundreds of Students, Factory Girls, Etc., Now Engaged In Study and Work Will Soon Freaent Surpris ing Statistics—Some lionet Who Are Making Wonderful Record* In the Electrical World. New York, May 17.—“1 do not under stand why more women do not study elec tricity," said the professor of electrical engineering at a famous university. "To my thinking it is a profession far more suited to women than law or medicine, surgery or other callings, which they flock to, and X have never talked with an in structor who did not entertain the same opinion. Electricity is clean, requires no streng'n in manipulation, and calls for no greater order of ability to understand its lawn than is necessary to master other learned professions. It is a fascinating study, one likely to increase in interest and supply an ever-broadening incentive for work. It offers, moreover, abundant chano# tor substantial returns and those who have applied themselves to it have male excellent record*. The Massachu setts Institute of Technology has turned out five or six woman graduates in elec tricity. Nearly all the state universities have at times had women students in the electrical engineering class rooms, but tney have been the exception and not the rule. Women study physics and chemis try, they go all around the subject In Us underlying relations, but they give elec tricity pure and simple the oold shoulder, when it is in reality well suited to their capacity, physical and mental." Women Who Have Won. America can boast one woman who is a Hill-Hedged electrical engineer with six years’ active work to her credit. Miss Bertha Lamme is one of the staff of engi neers to- a big manufacturing company in Pittsburg. She designs machinery, makes calculations and does exactly the work of a man electrical engineer. 3he is 28 years old; is a native of Ohio, of Dutch ancestry, and is a graduate of the Ohio University. One of the live examiners in the elec trical department at the t>atent office ir. Washington is a woman. She was among the first women in the country to study electricity, and has held her present posi tion many years. Her duties include tne keeping track of all Inventions and appli cations for inventions, touching electricity in any form. And she must have practical as well aa scientific knowledge of the availability of the articles submitted. There are possibly 50 women in the country who have taken either a full or partial course in electricity, either from private instructors or at the co-educa tional institutes. A few of these, are owners and managers of electric lighting and electric car plants In various places. One hears of them through the manufac turers of electrical goods. At Bay City, Mich., at Saginaw, at EllenviUe, New York, are electric plants operated by wo men. A Pennsylvania woman is assistant purchasing agent for a well known firm. She is credited with such familiarity with electric appliances and fittings that she knows at a glance when the goods offered are being held at a higher figure than they are worth or whether they are cheap at any price. Several women use their insglht into electrical sctence to write what may -e termed popular articles on the subject for papers and periodical*. Others give lectures on electricity in the smaller towns, and have classes at private schools. The foremost woman in electri science anywhere in tha world is Mrs. Bertha Azrton of London. She has made valuable investigations of the phenomena of the electric arc, and is a frequent con tributor to scientific Journals. Irately she read an Important paper before the Eng lish Institute of Electrical Engineers, tue first paper ever read before that body by a woman. There are other English wo men who me working prctlcally as elec tricians. but Mrs. Azrton la wholly a scientist and is recognized in Great Bri tain, Europe and here in America, where electrical genius has made such marked progress, as having been of much assist ance to the science. In the factories at Chicago. Pittsburg, Schenectady, Harrison and other places there are hundreds of girls and women working at the manufacture of electrical goods. They make ail the filaments for the lamps. They wind the armatures for the dynamos. They wind and cover with spun silk or paper, miles of wire, large and small, used In the Induction coil*, in the great underground cables, and on th magnets for telephone receivers and switchboards. These women tip all the cords, solder all the important little med iums and do all the deft and delicate work necessary In such manufacture. Five or aix forewomen will supervise and instruct the others in a single factory. The first class workers have the chance of promotion end of steady work at good pay, aa long a* they wih It. The manu facturers are anxious for intelligent girls to train. Ml*s Margaret Cleave*. A woman who is regarded at electrical headquarters a* a marvel in all round knowledge of electricity Is Mis* Marga ret Cleaves of lowa, now of New York. She la as familiar with influence ma chines, coils, alternators, batteries, met ers and current controllers, as the aver age woman Is familiar with styles and modes In dress. In the application of electricity as a remedial agent, she holds a place in public estimation similar to the one Mias Lamme holds as an electri cal engineer. For, according to compe tent authority, physicians, when they use electricity scientifically, are also electrlosl engineers, only their workshop holds prob lems of health, life and death. For eight months In the year Dr. Cleaves Is instructor and has turned out more thair fifty women graduates, beside many men graduates In the electro med ical branch of treatment.

She is a grad uate of the lowa State University, and had held various important offices in state medical and charitable institutions, both in lowa and Pennsylvania, before she adopted electricity as an aid to med icine. Miss Cleaves has invented va rious electrical apparatus. There are many physicians in the great cities hav ing women assistants, whom they have Instructed In the administering of elec tric treatment and who are quite profi cient. These women are familiar with the electric-arc bath as a substitute for sun shine to an ailing body. They under stand hydiwelectrlc applications, gal vanic ourernts and something about dose measurements. They are not scientists, but from constant contact with electrical apparatus they are able to treat patients successfully and some have set up sani tariums of their own. “But,” said an authority in regard to these amateurs, "too great stress cannot be laid upon the necessity for the use of the best knowledge and the best in struments of precision so as to insure careful dosage. Electrical engineering leads all other branches in the exactness and certainty of its results. This is Just as true in medicine as in general elec trical work, and it behooves a thorough grounding in the principles of electricity as a science before its application to cur ative, use should be taken up. Electricity Is an agent that lends Itself readily to the sensationalist and the smatterer In many lines. Some women are agents for the makers of electrical goods and apparatus in the physicians’ line. They are sufficiently versed in their subject to talk glibly about the goods they handle. Any one inquiring into electrical matters hears of these Just as he hears of fa kirs in the other callings and professions; but the face remains that although the number of women graduates in electric ity is not one-fifth that of women grad uates in law, theology, botany or art, those who have mastered the study have made a notable success of it. There Is a woman expert telegraph operator who has at various times illustrated the workings of automatic telegraphic ma chines put on the market by an experi enced inventor. She has been at the el bow of the inventor from first to last, and he, while versed In the theory of his machine, was powerless to show it in actual practice unless this ally was along to demonstrate Its value. She has traveled all over Europe on such er rands, meeting all the famous authorities In telegraphic matters." , Olive F. Gunby. MOKLEY’g LEMON ELIXIR.
