Arabia the Real Ereedinz Place of the Plague. Terrible Mortality Among the Many Pil- grims Who Year After Year Journey to the Holy Cities of Arabia. Shocking as are the statistics of mor- tality among pilgrims to Mecca recent- ly reported in the New York Sun from Tunis, where of nine thousand who set out but half the number returned, the death rate of this year but little greater than that of ordinary years. The health officials of Bombay and other Indian cities have for some time been collecting facts and statistics te show that India does not deserve the ill reputation it has of being “the en- demic home ot cholera,” but that Ar- abia is the home of the plague, and they are preparing to make strennons ef- horities |and convince them of the fact, and to have them apply a remedy. printed in reveal a terrible Some of he Bombay state of af- fair According to the official returns of | the health officer of Bombay, of njne- ne thousand pilgrims who left that for Mecca during the past eight years only sixty thousand have come back. Thirty pilgrims in every hun- dred have perished in every year of that period, and very many of those who survived to return home come back only to die of disease con tracted on the pilgrimage. ‘The facts adduced go to prove that the pilgrims do not carry disease with them from India. There isa rigid inspection at Bombay before embarkation, and pilgrim is required to pass a 1 examination, to undergo a certain quarantining process, and to possess a certificate of good health. The mortality on the voyage from Bombay to Arabia is very small. It is after the pilgrims have entered the holy cities, and during the return, that the mortality is great. A record is kept by the British con- sulat Jeddah of the number of pil- grimsarriving at and departing from that port, with such particulars us will insure general identification. The figures of this record fully corroborate those of the Bombay officials. An average estimate of a mortality of one- third among the Indian pilgrims in each year, when there is no general epidemic of cholera, is clearly estab- lished, and the belief is ¢ tics as are obtainable, that fully one- third of all pilgrims to Meeca perish in every year. The Indian officials assert that the cholera plagues which periodically around the world “have their in the filth of Mecca and Medina.” There is a great scarcity of er in these places, and the quality of the little obtainable is bad. The famous Holy Well at Mecea offers the most complete conditions for Spread- ing disease. It ordinally contains but little water. One of the most essential devotions in the pilgrimage is to bathe inand drink of the water from this well, and its brink is always crowded with pilgrims, some drawing its water and pouring it over their persons, others dipping it up in cups and gourds and drinking it. The water used for bathing runs directly back into the well, and thus diseases are di- rectly spread. The authorities did for a time this year close up the well. Drainage in the city there is little or none, and the most ordinary sanitary precautions are utterly disregarded by the choked crowds of pilgrims. Not alone cholera is thus bred and spread, but the holy cities are hotbeds of smallpox and other like terrible diseases. The same conditions are true of El Tor, Jeddah and Camaran, and the Indian health officials will, for the protection of its people as well as for the sake of the country’s reputation, make strong en- deavors to induce the authorities of the holy places of pilgrimage to take aninterest in drainage and general sanitation; to have more scavengers even if they have to have fewer priests. They think that the western nations might profitably take an in- terest in the condition of things in Arabia, and the result of their investi- gations will be offered in the hope that steps will be taken to crush out the cholera plague in what they assume to prove is its real endemic home. WHAT A MAN !S WORTH. One of the Chemical Compounds of an Average Voter Valued at 818,300. An interesting exhibit at the nation- al museum shows the chemical in- gredients which go to make up the average man weighing 154 pounds, says the American Analyst. Divided up into his primary chemical elements the man is found to contain 97 pounds of oxygen—enough to take up, under ordinary atmospheric pressure, the space of a room 10 fcet long, 10 feet wide and 10 feet high. His body also holds 15 pounds of hydrogen, which, under the same conditions, would oc- cupy Somewhat more than two such rooms as that described. To these must be added 3 pounds and 15 ounces of nitrogen. The carbon in the corpus of the individual referred to is repre- sented by a foot cube of coal. It ought to be a diamond of the same size, be- cause the stone is pure carbon, but the National museum has not sucha one in its possession. A row of bottles contain the other elements going to make up the man. These are 4 ounces of chlcrine. 3'{ ounces of fluorine, § ounces of phosphorus, 3s ounces of brimstone. 2'; ounces of sodium, 214 ounces of potassium, one-tenth of an ounce of iron, 2 ounces of magnesium, and 5 pounds and 1; ounces of caleium. Calcium, at present market rates, is worth $300 eunee, so that the amount of itconiined in one haman body has a money value of $18,300. ; of our fellow citizens realize that they are worth so much intrinsically. THE PRILGRIMAGE TO MECCA. ! Wells of That City Are Among the Pria- | cipal Sources of Cholera. Apropos of a dispatch from Tunis which says that out of a body of nine thousand pilgrims who visited Mecca one-half died of cholera. and that of the sev after the pilgrimsto bury t help the ng five hundre the New York Herald count of the “a sacred proce n: ed that the pil number from fifty to se 3 They come from all parts of Mohammedan world, tor every lem is bound under certai to pay at least one v¥ city Mecea, as is well-known, lies in the heart of a mass of rough hills, intersected by narrow vallers. Its regular population is supposed to be about fifty thousand, but the city always contains many more persons, for before the pilgrims to one festival have left those to another begin to ar- rive. The streets are fairly spacious, but very poorly kept. There a food supply of pure water, brought by an underground conduit, but this is furnished freely only to townspeople, the pilgrims to pay for it. As a result the latter patronize the wells which are supposed to be principal sources of cholera. One of these is the well of Zemzem, which is the holiest place in the city after the Kaaba, or temple According to Mohammedan tradition this well is the source from which Ha- ger drew water for her son Ishmael. It is now inclosed in a massive vaulted building, paved with marble. The water is eagerly drank by the pil- poured over the body to give lous refreshment, and carried in jars. As though the water and the city’s filth were not sufficient eause for cholera, the — sacrificial slaughter of thousands of animals, whose careasses are left for the sun to act upon, complete the work of germ propagation. The caravans approaching and leay- ing Mecea are picturesque sights. The members are full of faith in Allah, and proud of having attended the great festival. In the midst of the proc sion a guard of honor escorts the pyr- amidal wooden structure which, under a gorgeous canopy and borne by a camel, contained on the outward jour- ney the sacred carpet which is left in the Kaaba, Mecca's holiest of holie: On the return journey the great casket is empty, but even then it remains an object of veneration, and a military guard of honor accompanies it. ana tt t to the holy FARMER IMMIGRANTS WANTED. The Experiment Which an Ohio Capital- ist Will Try in Nebraska. A plan for securing farmer immi- grants has just been put in operation in Nebraska by a wealthy Ohio manu- facturer, and it is the understanding of the South that Gov. Northen, of Georgia, advocates a similar experi- ment in his state. Some time ago the Ohio man purchased 12,000 acres in Ne- brask In the center of this tract 160 acres are laid off for the village site, and inthe center of this forty acres for a public park. Facing the park are the school, church or churches, publie halls, stores, shops, ete. The remainder is cut up into 240 lots of about a half acre each for dwellings for the farmer: ies and others storekcepers, meehan- who may seek a resi- dence in the village. After providing ‘for the v re the rest of the 12,000 acres is divided into 150 farms of about eighty acres each, with roads so laid outasto give each farmer an open highway to the village. It is proposed to sell these farms on time, giving ample time to the purchasers to pay for them, and to assist in the building of the village by helping to build the schoolhouses, churches and such other public buildings as may be desired. If this idea is carried out, there will be a village with 150 families of farmers, and perhaps fifty or more other fam- ilies of storekeepers, mechanics and others, say a village of 200 families, or 1,000 people, which would make a con- siderable place. Gov. Northen suggests that land owners form joint sto:k companies, purchase acentral tract for the village, build a church, a schoolhouse, a store, have a post office established, and then let those nearest the village site either build, or if practicable move their dwellings to the village site, thus giv- ing it a start. Then subdivide the large farms int small ones, and invite settlers to com., purchase and become residents of the village. Wattzing Alice. Lately the employes at the Philadel- phia zoological garden have been amused by the antics of some queer little animals which are not on public exhibition. The newcomers are white and biack Japanese altzing mice, seven in number. When let ont of their cages they wink at each other and step gracefully forward with a movement which some of the beholders declare isa bow. Head Keeper Man- ley whistles “Annie Rooney,” and the mice skip away in pairs with a queer whirling motion. When he strikes up “The Bowery” they r&volve so fast that nothing can be scen bnt little gray balls. *‘Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-aye” causes them to “swing corners” and dance “all hands around.” Once the owner ventured to play the “Dead March” while they were dancing. With a whisk of their tails the little rodents fled to their cages like a man pursued by a nightmare. Abolishing One Curse of the Orient. The maharajah of Mysore has de- cided. if possible, to put an end to marriages between children, or rather infants in his kingdom. lie issued an order recently forbidding girls under eight years and boys under fourteen to marry.
