The tumult attracted an immense ororvd from the outside, many of whom tried to gain entrance to the theatre, thus adding to the confusion. A dozen policemen also attracted by the shrieks of the frightened crowd, hur- ried to the scene, and using clubs on. those outsidepushed through the door to the writhing mass on the landing. Among the first to reach them' 'was Officer E. J. belly; whose beat is but a block away, Forcing his way in through' the main doorway, he grasped a pair of arms, and pulling with all his might, dragged a woman from under the surging crowd. A glance at her face showed that she was past ail'hu- man aid, dead from suffocation. Again he reached in the maga of humanity and pulled out a bay about seven years old. He, too, was dead, also from suffocation, with scarcely a bruise on his body. The other officers, by this time rein- forced emforced by a dozen of their fellows, dragged out the prostrate ones, passing. them to those on the sidewalk. Ambulances carried ,the dead to the morgue and the wounded to the City Hospital, wherever practicable, but in many cases the most slightly injured, and in a few cases those who were badly hurt were token to their homes by friends. When the mass on the landing had bean cleared away, the frightened mob inside were quiet- ed down sufficiently to enable the po- lice to clear the theatre. Then it was found there had been no danger, and that not a soul would nave been in- jured had the audience but remained seated. Nine bodies were taken to the morgue, all of them dead from suffo- cation. Of those taken to the City hospital 15 are dead. Two more will probably die, and ten are 'desperately hurt. The confusion at both places was indescribable, and up to midnight but four of the dead have been identified. The dead are of all ages, from mere infants to gray-haired men and wo- men..

JAPAN'S R1tE JT CROWT$I OBSERVATIONS OF .DR, REFOREST, A,RETWRNED MISSIONARY, Ida Oeneretlon the eitne Iage 01' tae C0,111 ftry Des Ikea ltnvelatlonime—lrlduetrl, el Development le Nollaing Loss 'than eas Rna .... I r.. Development rl , glia temper of the Japanese to take the pontrol of their religious affairs Is very strong. ahoy feel that they have come to the front rank among the na- tions, that their international stand.• ing is as high as that of any people, and that they aro entitled to look out for their churobes without being sub- ordinete to the missionaries of the board, When tbey learned of the plan to. send out the investigating commit- tee of the board they proclaimed (Pen- ly that if the committee came in a fra- ternal spirit to inquire into the sitti5- tion and to help them by advice, then they would be received as Christian brothers and treated in a friendly way during their inquiry, but if they came out as having authority to demand an accounting ofthe Japanese e e then their interference would be resisted, The committee went with the instructions in general not to aot upon questions, but to refer them at once to the board, but in the easel of minor matters final decis- ion was permitted to the committee up- on two conditions—first, that the ques- tion was of such a nature that the com- mittee agreed unanimously that it should be attended to at once without referring it to the "board; and, secondly, that they were agreed unanimously as to what ought to be done. 1 Dr. Delli'orest is a keen observer of the people among whom he has lived many years, and says that the recent develop- ment of the Japanese is wonderful. It is stamped upon their very language. New words are being introduced with great rapidity, and the change has been so great since the opening of the county to foreigners that Dr. DeForest says that if a Japanese of that time could hear the debates to -day in the Jadoss Par- liament he would not be able to under- stand the language, so many new words. and phrases have been introduced. The peopleare full of`hew ideas. They are absorbing many things from the out- side world which have been wholly un- known to the Japanese hitherto, and there are no words in their language for them. Their vocabulary is being greatly enriched bywords to express new distinction which the Japanese have never made before now in their thinking. Before the coming of the missionaries they had one common word for the ideas which we expressed by sin" and "crime." The story is toldof an 'impulsive English mission woman in conversation ,with a Japanese wo- man of high social position, who assured the latter that sue was a "sinner." To the Japanese mind this was identical with being' told that she was a "crimin- al." Good-humored surprise and a well-bred denial were the answer. And that very failure in the Japanese voca- bulary has bean the cause of the+ same mistake by other missionaries, who have thus been made. to seem anything but complimentary to the people they were. trying to reach. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. The industrial development of Japan, says Dx. DeForest, has been remarkable. When he went to Osaka there were only two tall chinmeys to be seen in the en- tire city, and those had been recently erected by foreign enterprise. But now the old central portion is entirely surrounded by a circle of tall chimneys where many kinds of manufacturing are being carried on. The Japanese all, over the country are taking up these enterprises rapidly, and are now sup- plying Europpean and American markets. it is very likely that our tooth brushes. come from Osaka. Some of them have European marks Upon them to conceal the real place of their manufacture, while others have "Osaka" in Japanese characters, which, of course, will not be recognized by buyers. , At . the same time with this suddar jump forward into international prom- inence and with the establishment of many manufacturing enterprises, has occurred a great increase in population. Since the opening of the empire to out side nations the population has gkined from thirty million to over forty mil- lion, or much more than any other equal •period. Dr. DeForest says that this is due mainly to the vast improvement in car ing for human life, especially in the treatment of little children. Formerly they were carried off by thousands year- ly by smallpox, which was constantly prevalent among the people. The intro- duction of vaccination and, of better medical science has saved millions of Jives which wouiu otherwise have been lost. The (practice of infanticide has been materially checked, but the chief cause of the gain is in better medical treatment. The Japanese are very sub- ject to consumption, and the tendency to the disease is increased by their habit of sitting upon the floor with the shoul- ders crouched over, so that the lungs are much contracted. 1 In contrast with Japan, China lies as an immense unorganized mass, and would doubtless be carved up among the great European powers . if it were not for their mutualealousy. Yet there are qualities of the Chinese na-. tine which are strong and valuable. The people are possessed of much more posi- tiveness of character than the people of India who have been brought under the rule of England. Dr. DeForest believes that it is a critical epoch for China, and that it possible for her to take such a start in civilization as will make her one of the great national factors of the world.

P It has often been contended by physiologists and men of science gen- erally, that nervous energy or nerv- ous impulses which pass along the nerve fibres, were only other names for electricity. This seemingly plaus- ible statement was accepted for a time, but has been .completely aban- doned since it been proved that the nerves are not good conductors of oleotricity, and that the velooity of a nervous impulse is but 100 feet per second—which is very much Blower than that of electricity, It is now generally agreed that nervous energy, or what we are pleased to call nerve fluid, is a wondrous, a mysterious force, in which dwells life itteif. A very eminent specialist, *be has studied profoundly. the workings of the nervous system for the last twenty-five years, has lately demon- strated that two-thirds of all our ailments and chronic diseases axe due to deranged nerve centres within or at the base of the brain. 411 know that an injury to the spinal cord will cause paralysis to the body below the injured point. The reason for this is, that the nerve force is prevented by the injury from teaching the paralyzed portion, Again, when food is taken into the atomaoh, ft comes in vented irf gl numberless nerve fibres in the w of this organ, which at once send e nervous impulse to the nerve centres, which control the stomach, notifying them of the presence o'f food; where. upon the nerve centres send down a supply of nerve force or nerve fluid, to at once begin the operation of digestion. But •let the nerve centres which control the stomach be de- ranged and they will not be able to respond with a sufficient supply of nerve force, to properly digest the food, and, as a result, indigestion and, dyspepsia make their appearance, So it is with the other organs of the body, if the nerve centres which con- trol them and supply them with nerve fora,, become deranged, they are also deranged. The wonderful atoms of the remedy known as the Great South American Nervine Tonic is due be the fact that it is prepared by one o the most eminent physicians anti specialists of the age, and is based on the foregoing acientic!o discovery- It possesses marvellous powers for', the euro of Nervousness, Nervouf.
