is not only much more liable to be attacked, but he is almost certain to die of the effects. All authorities are agreed upon this point. The most efficient preventive ineasure may therefore be declared to be the avoidance of spirituous liquors.
The Timer says that the recent manoeuvres of the British fleet proved that the new torpedo cruiser Archer, of six guns, 1630 tons, and 3500 horse-power, was a total failure as a fast cruiser. It is stated that Kerim, a Somali town on the north coast of the Gulf of Aden, has been occupied on behalf of Italy.

A sponge or handkerchief, wet with cold water, placed in the hat, will keep the head cool and produce a general reduction of temperature in the body, This is a measure which should be adopted, especially by soldiers on the march., The clothing should be loose and light, and frequent bathing of the face, head, and arms will counter- act the pernicious effects of the high temperature.

In cases of sunstroke a competent physician should be at once sent for. But in the mean- while the bystanders should not be idle. If the individual is unconscious and has, a hot, dry skin, the clothing about the upper portion of the body should be opened and cold water poined over him. If the water is poured upon the head from a height of several feet the effect will he greater. So long as the beat of the skin seems excessive the cold effusions should be continued.

NEW YORK, SUNDAY, August 6th. A serious and fatal fire occurred here late on Friday afternoon, (August 4th), and the horror it has excited is increased by the fact that the building destroyed exactly resembles fifteen hundred others in this city The scene of the catastrophe is n six-storey building standing in the rear of the block between the People's Theatre and Simpson's pawnbroker's shop in the Bowery. Eight feet in front of the burned premises stands the White House saloon; five feet behind them rises another structure like the one burned. Access to the street can only

ments.
Nobody knows how the fire commenced; but within fifty seconds from the first alarm the fire men were on the spot. Repeated alarms brought fifteen companies of firemen within five minutes, By that time no sound of a human being came from the crackling dibris, where nearly two hundred people were known to have been shortly. before. They were tailors, mostly Poles, Jewi, and foreigners, working on the sweating system.
The flames started br the lower fisor, and swept up the hoist, which it destroyed, as well as the adjoining stairway, Seeing their way of escape -cut off, the people in the house became panic- stricken, and the scenes which ensued sickened even the hardened firemen, who, unable to wee their apparatus, could only shout directions to the delirious men, women, and children who clustered at every window and overcrowded the fire-escapes. The firemen called in vain; probably many of the foreigners did not understand what was said to them, as their cries were not understood by the people in the yard. Some who reached the ground in safety madly returned to the burning premises to save their goods. These met the out- coming throng, and a dreadful struggle followed In the passage way, which became instantly and fatally blocked.
As the flames drove the wretched creatures up to the higher floors, some of them jumped from the top storeys when, but for their thoughtless ness in their fright, they might have reached the ground safely from the lower floors. Others Icaped to the windows of the adjoining building, the iron fire shutters of which had been closed to protect it from the flames. A few who sought to escape over Simpson's roof found, their way barred by a spiked railing, placed there to oppose the entrance of thieves. A few made their perilous way over ladders horizontally stretched from the theatre windows.
The extent of the calamity is not yet fally known, but twenty corpses have been found, and as many people le injured in the hospitals, Many more are supposed to be missing. The uncertainty on this point arises from the fact that none but foreigners occupied the building, with whose language and customs our officials are not familiar. Cor. London Ștandard.
SUNSTROKES.
THEIR CAUSES, SYMPTOMS, PREVENTION AND
CURE.
An' attack of sunstroke, says Dr. Rohe in the
physician. Finally, as in so many other diseases, prevention is better than cure in this malady Most persons who have suffered from sunstroke carry with them through life some effects of the attack. It is always better, therefore, never to have had a sunstroke than to have been cured of one.

"FIRST ROBBERS.”
"First Robbers," according to the Sydney Morning Herald, is a significant phrase current in the financial world at the present time. To the uninitiated it may be explained that it applies to those who promote companies on the basis of special advantages to be derived by them. Promoters may deserve something for their services in the initiation of co-operative under- takings, of which the advantages are to become general to all shareholders. When they ask what is reasonable, no objection can be taken to the appearance of their names in pros- pectuses as provisional, directors, with the price they are to be paid for their services. no element of dishonesty in the business. But since it has become so fre- quent a practice, we may say almost Custom to ask for more than they are entitled to, the phrase "first robbers" has been applied to and, in some instances, accepted by them. It is, of course, said playfully, but it means anything but play-it has its real significance to the un- fortunates who, from ignorance or in a time of excitement, from thoughtlessness, give their names as subscribers to businesses weighted with the non-producing interests of "first rob bers," We are told by these promoters of gold, silver, coal-mining, or other companies that they require no capital to be paid for their interesis but are content to receive paid-up shares. For instance, a few men take up a piece of coal ground, say at Newcastle. They spend 100 or 200 perhaps on the land. Forthwith it is resolved to float it into a company, with 100,000 shareholders of 1 each. The promoters do not want any money ; they are content to take, say, 50,000 shares fully paid up to 1 for what has cost them so little. They may even go further and offer to subscribe £30,000 of the contributing shares. But none the less in the dead capital, and the subscribers of the will have to give away to these: promoters Li out of every 1 earned by the mine. In the
