with yellow fever , and which Is often called
break-bone , or dandy lever , because of the
stiff , dandified walk of those suffering from
it. It Is found In Manila , Java , India , Cairo
and even In our own southern states. Epi
demics of dengue have Bwcpt around the
world. Charleston had It In. 1828. It ( was
epidemic in the West Indies In 1827. During
two months In 1897 20,000 persons had It In
Galveston , Tex. That It Is due to a blood
parasite la known , but It Is a general state
ment that covers the fleld of research ; one
that needs thorough covering when there is
record that half of the Inbabltints of Ha
vana were once attacked.
Doctor/i In the Dark.
Berl-bcri la another tropical disease- that
needs Investigation. The medical authorities
have had long disputes over the probable
origin of the disease. Some say It Is duo
to eating rice ; others to the consumption of
raw fish. It is prevalent In the far east.
It Is found In China , India , Japan , Sumatra ,
Borneo , Java , Moluccas and In Cuba , Ves
sels carried It to Cuba from Asia. To quote
Prof. Oiler , "the mortality from this disease
among the coolies of the Malay archipelago
in simply frightful. " Yet , as Intimated , no
specific organism of the malady has been
found. The period of Inoculation Is probably
long , that Is the period elapsing from the
time a man 1 * Inoculated until the disease
manifests Itself may be a few daye or It
may be months. One seldom gets rid of It
entirely. A man may have It every hot sea
son ; then again It may disappear for years ,
to return finally. Prof. Schoube had a pa
tient who had the dlseoso twenty years. It
afflicts more men than , women and moro
young men than old. It Is accompanied by
pains and weakness of the limbs , palpitation
of the heart , shortness of breath and sim
ilar symptoms , BO that It renders la vic
tims peculiarly helpless. Rabbits and mon
keys Inoculated by a germ which Lucorda
eliminated have taken the disease , but the
origin remains undisputed. The Japaneeo
physicians have given. It much study and
claim it Is duo to the oatlng of raw fish.
They point to the abolishing of raw fish
eating In the Japanese navy and the subse
quent absence of borl-berl as proof of the
theory. But the Dutch phjelclans of Java
hold that the eating of bad rice causes the
malady and bring forward statistics to up
hold their claims. On the other hand , beri
beri Is contagious aud thrives under non-
hygienic conditions , la ships , jails , asylums ,
slums , etc. Perhaps the Johns Hopkins
commission may thrown new light on Its
origin when the members return to America.
Deadly Smell * .
Travelers In China nave often reported
the great number of cases of elephantiasis ,
that remarkabfo disease that makes a
veritable mountain of a man , swelling his
limbs particularly until they are out of all
proportion to bis size. Prof. Patrick Manson -
son proved conclusively that this dlscaso of
the Chinese was caused by little threadlike
worms which the mosquito carries about
from one person to another , Inoculating
them. In this country , by the way , the com.
man crow gets elephantiasis from being bit
ten by the mosquito. This little worm , the
fllarla , has several cousins which are the
cause of two or three tropical diseases , such
as the Guinea-worm disease of Africa and
the East Indies , the sleeping sickness of the
African negro , and others equally remark
able. There Is the fllarla dlurnl , nhlch Manson -
son found In 1891. This curious norm can
only bo found in the peripheral blood during
the daytime , or when the patient stays
awake. It cannot be fottid at night or when
the patient Is asleep. The theory Is that
It mutt go into the Inner blood passages at
night. The fllarla bancroftl exists under
directly opposite conditions. It cannot be
discovered during the daytime , but only at
night when the patient Bleeps. The fllarla
of the Guinea-worm disease enters its vic

ROYAL BLOOD IN HIS VEINS
Coming Chief of Mohawk Indian Nation
Visits the Exposition.
HIS TRIBE NOTED FOR ITS INTELLIGENCE
Education tlir Element Which Con-
trllmtcd I.nrfcely to Present Hdind-
Infir of the MohatvICH Are They
of Inrnelf
The striking figure of a magnificently
handsome man , whoso swarthy com
plexion denotes the fact of his dcsccndcncy
from an Indian tribe , has attracted consid
erable attention in the corridors of the Her
Grand hotel and on tbo streets ot Omaha
during the last two weeks. On the hotel
register the name of this man appears as
"Dr. Dayolheosola , " through whoso volns
flows the royal blood of the chieftains of the
Mohawk trlbo.
Dr. Dayolheosola came to Omaha for tbo
purpose of conferring with the exposition
authorities regarding 4bo representation of
members of his itrlbe In tbo Indian exhlbl.
tlon. Ho ha offered his superior knowl
edge and experience to the exposition au
thorities and agrees to bring here members
of the Mohawk tribe In order to show the
difference between the educated Indian and
the blanketed tribes with which western
people only are familiar.
"Tho trouble -with American people , " said
Dr. Dayollieosola , "Is that they Judge all
Indians by the tribes of the west and be
lieve that nothing can be made of them so
far jls intelligent citizenship is concerned.
Thin is a mistake. The evolution of an
( hundred yeara has placed the Mcftjawk In
dians on on equality with the whites in the
matter of education and intelligence , and
there is no reason why another hundred
years will not accomplish the same thing for
the western tribes , provided the right plans
are pursued. "
Blaok Eagle , which Is the English transla
tion of Dayolheosola , is one of the brightest
members of bis tribe , and this speaks much ,
because the Mohawks are considered to bo
the most intelligent Indians In America. He
Is exceptionally well preserved and bears
his CS years as though ho were yet a young
man of 35. He was born on the Mohawk res.
orvatlon in Brant county , Ontario , Canada ,
and Is the son of the present chief of the
trlbo. Ho is a polished gentleman In every
sense of tbo word , a fluent talker and a
most entertaining conversationalist , being
versed to perfection in the traditions and
history of the. trlbo which he will some day
be called to preside over as the chief , as
his father is now rapidly nearing the ago
when death is likely to call him at any mo
ment.
Dr. Dayolheosola makes his home at pres
ent in Spokane , Waah. , where for several
years be has 'been ' engaged in the mining
business. Ho has Just been in the celebrated
Seven Devils region in Idaho , representing
tbo members of & Boston syndicate , for
whom ho located three valuable copper
mines. He pronounces this section the most
valuable addition to copper mining that has
been discovered in years and predicts that
itwill be of great importance in mining cir
cles when it Is opened up by the railroads.
"Dr. " Dayolheosola la the nephew of Dr.
Oronyetekba , one of the founders of the
Independent Order of Foresters , and who
Is at present the head of that order. Until
1893 bis uncle was Supreme Orand Templar
of the World and Is now one ot the high
court officials of that body.

i TROPICAL ILLS FOR DOCTORS
Expansion of Medical Schools Made Neces
sary by Island Acquisitions.
NEW DISEASES FROM THE TROPIC ZONE
Preliminary Stuillcn IlcliiK Mnile of
tlio Ailment * of Hot Cllmiitcit
Method * Pnrnueil by the
lGnroi > enu Collccci.
The annexation of Cuba , Porto lUco and
the Philippines hao opened up a new de
partment of medical research. The posses
sion of territory so near to the equator has
made it accessary for our medical schools
to provide students with an intimate knowl
edge of otrango and virulent diseases which
exist for the most part only In the torrid
zone. In fact , the study of tropical dis
eases will now too given a prominent place
In the curriculum of our universities. Sev
eral colleges have already taken steps In
this direction. Johns Hopkins has gone to
the extent of lending a commission com
posed of several doctors and students to the
far east for the purpose of obtaining inform
ation concerning these diseases.
Not only have the United States awakened
to the Importance of this need , but other
countries are taking up the matter as well.
Kngland lias established two colleges for
the study of tropical disease , one In Lon
don and tbo other in Liverpool. Germany
la cataibllehlng a school whleb will bo under
the direction of Dr. Koch. Italy already
has taken up the mibjoct In the study of
malnria. Perhaps the work of these now
schools will be more In the line of Investiga
tion than In the Imparting of knowledge ,
for it Is admitted that comparatively llttlo
is known of the maladies with which the in
habitants of the tropics are compelled to
cope. Heretofore there baa been no very
great need of nations situated In the more
temperate climates taking up the subject.
The work is , therefore , entirely new. But
the field for research is fascinating and
offers many attractions to investigators.
Perhaps it is for this reason that so many
are entering ; it. Ungland has long rccog-
nlted the need of auch a school , because of
bar Indian possessions , and sporadic efforts
nave to pen made to study ooiuo of the dis
eases with which the Hindoo 1ms been
afflicted. Still the subject has never been
Bj-itemaHted as it now will be ,
The Liverpool school of tropical medicine
WM recently opened by Lord Lister , as a
result of tbo advocacy of Jospeh Chamber-
Jain. Its present homo is in the noyal
Southern hospital , and U Includes a twelve-
bed .ward and laboratory. Major Ronald
IIOBI of the Indian medical service has been
appointed a special lecturer , illustrating bis
remarks by lantern slides and diagrams ,
with references to cases in the ward. He

closures concerning the spread of malaria

Cuiniuiiollliin Hoapltiil.
The twelve beds In the warJl already are
filled. The countries represented are China ,
India , United States , Norway , Sweden , nus-
sla , Finland , England and Ireland , and the
diseases from which the patients suffer were
contracted in Java , India , Brazil , southern
United States , Farcadoa , Old Callbar , Benin
and Cape Coast Castle , the lasi four places
being on the coast of Africa. Several ot
these patients were sailors , aud as they
brought thulr ailments directly from th
tropics into the temperate- zone , the need ot
special attendance will bo easily recognized.
The 'London hospital Mill be on the Albert
< ocki , end it will not only Attempt the
study an < d the cure of tropical diseases , but
It mill provide for the instruction of nurses
to bo sent into the tropics. In fact , the
English physicians have been thoroughly
aroused by the recent ravages of disease In
the Indian army. It Is 'more ' to be dreaded
than bullets. The British secretary of war
reports that In the Tlrah campaign , a recent
frontier expedition , 1,000 men were admitted
to the hospital on account of wounds , while
1,100 were admitted on account of disease.
There were 100 deaths from wounds and 600
From tropical disease. This disproportion
becomes moro significant when It Is pointed
out that the wounds of the convalescents
generally cease to trouble them entirely
after a time , while the disease is opt to re
main In the system , periodically afflicting
the soldier during the remainder of his life.
The Johns Hopkins intention , however ,
will bo more thorough than the English.
The hospital in Baltimore will be under the
charge of Prof. William Osier and it will
t > o operated like the London and Liverpool
Institutions , but the Institution which has
gone to the far east will pursue , special
lines of Investigation , transmitting the
knowledge ofbtamed to the parent school ,
BO that the courses In the college may be
more Intelligently pursued. This commis
sion started from Chicago several months
ago and Is already at work on the fleld.
It IB composed of Prof. Simon Flexnor of
the pathological department in Johns Hop
kins , Joseph M. Flalnt and Frederick P.
Gay , medical students of Chicago and Bos
ton respectively , and John W. Garrett of
Baltimore. They -will visit Yokohama ,
and Kobe In Japan , Shanghai , Hong Kong
and Singapore In China , Colombo and neigh
boring points. ( But their most important
work will be done In the Phlllpplnee\where
they will study the causes , action ifhd re-
HiiltH of the strange diseases which exist un
der tropical conditions. The dissemination
of disease and methods for Its prevention will
be the important-objects of study. They will
seek to prove the claims of Alfred Russol
Wallace , the Englishman , who , after an ex
perience of many years , statea positively
that all -white men may live In the tropics
with impunity.
DlHFimei of the Tropic * .
Mr. Wallace nays the trouble la not with
the climate , but with diseases which are
the result of unsanitary conditions auch as
prevailed in Europe a century ago. "If wo
take the great belt about 2,000 miles wide
extending from 12 to IE degrees north and
couth of the equator , wo have an enormous
area which is not only well adapted for col
onization in the true sense that Is , for per
manent occupation of white men but Is also ,
with proper sanitary percautlons , the most
healthy and enjoyable part of the world in
which the laborer can obtain the maximum
return for the minimum amount of toll , "
The commission will pay special attention
to those diseases which ore carried about
by animals. For Instance , It Is well known
that mosqultoee Inoculate human beings
with the germs of malaria nnd of elephanti
asis. Dr. Sommer of Buenos Ayres intimates
that mosquitoes disseminate the germs of K pro -
ro y. Files about
carry from
person to per
son the germs of yetlow fever , typhoid fever ,
ophthalmia aud several Intestinal diseases.
Rats , mice , dogs and other animals contract
the plague and transmit It to human beings.
How to tar out these possibilities will be a
subject of study , Concerning mosquitoes ,
the draining of marshy tracts U one method
of relief. Prof. Koch , who will shortly go
to Africa to study the malaria question , has
Invented a mosquito proof house , and sug
gests Its uie. Means of prevention in the
other cases are not so simple. First , Indeed ,
tto etiology of the diseases themselves will
have to be utudled , for ta stated a moment
ago , it is not too wen known. Yet what la
knonn makes a description of tome of these
maladies very interesting reading. There
is dengue , a disease -which often coexists !
reached his stomach , refuses to be digested
| and penetrates outward until It comes to the
surface of his body under the skin of which
it can be felt like a bundle of fine threads.
Then it works its way downward , giving
birth to enormous numbers of young worms
on the way , until it reaches the ankles ,
when , strangely enough , it voluntarily leaves
its boat.
Liver flukes is a disease caused by germs ,
which Is prevalent in Japan and which re
sults in an enormous enlargement of the
liver. One case Is recorded wherein the liver
reached a weight of eleven pounds. Twenty
per cent of the population of certain Japa
nese provinces are afflicted. There Is another
fluke disease of the bronchial tubes which Is
common in parts of China , Japan and For
mosa. The untcarla Is another little worm
which helps to make life Interesting for the
natives of India , "Egypt " , Brazil and the West
Indies. It Impoverishes the blood of its
victims and makes them weak. Since there
is a leper settlement In Porto Klco , on the
Island named Louis Pena , and as there are
many lepers in Manila , the commission will
study this disease , butas its characteristics
are well known , it need not bo described.
Old Vcllorr Jock.
Yellow fever under eastern conditions will
also bo studied , and the claims of Sanarelll
to having eliminated a distinct organism
peculiar to the disease will bo Investigated.
Sanarelll , who is director of the medical in
stitute at Montevideo , describes the bacil
lus as a minute , slender , rod-like worm
from two to four mlcrona in length , found
only In the iblood and tissues. It occurs in
very small numbers , but produces a toxlno
of extraordinary intensity. There seems to
belittle doubt that his claims are correct.
The prevalence of typhoid In Honolulu and
Manila will make the visit of the com
mission very opportune.
Of much greater interest , however , will
"bo " the Investigation of Prof. Haffklne's re
puted plague cure. This is highly Impor
tant. The official report on bubonic plague
for the 'Bombay ' district shown a mortality
of 225,000. In Formosa the governor general
reports twcnty-flvo to forty deaths dally. The
disease is making disastrous headway in
Hong Kong. jBmalla , Egypt , has been In
vaded , and although the recent depletion of
Grand Bassam , on the ( African gold coast ,
was said to bo caused by yellow fever , yet
it Is now believed that the disease was in
reality the plague. All this in spite of the
fact that the Indian Plague commission ,
through Prof. Haffklno , seems to have found
.a Bonuinoly valuable serum. lUs reliability
j was proved by the following remarkable ex
periments. Twenty rats -were taken from a
ship newly arrived from Europe. Ten of
the rodents wore Inoculated with the Haft-
klne serum , and with the unlnoculatcd ten
were put in a cage which already confined a
i plague-stricken rat. Nine of the unlnocu-
latod died , and only one of the doctored rats
died. Of the 1,000 Inhabitants of the village
of Uran 420 were innoculated. Seven of
these persona were attacked < by the plague ,
but air recovered. Of those inhabitants not
Inoculated twentysirwere seized and
twenty-four died. In Damaun 2,197 persons
woro' inoculated. Only thirty-six of those
died of the plague. Of 6,033 untnoculated
personH 1,482 died. At Lanowll , a village of
700 Inhabitants , 323 persons were inoculated
and seven of them died. Of 377 unlnocu-
latcd persons fifty-eight died. There are
many more examples , amounting in all to
70,000 persons Inoculated.
These are some of the thinga which the
Johns Hopkins commission will Inquire into.
They will transmit the results of their in
vestigations to the home Institution at
Baltimore and doubtlws when the mans of
Information Is all sifted and classified wo
will learn many curious and startling facts
concerning the strange diseases which at
present make Ufa In the tropic * at least
hazardous.
la a member and which ho may at any time
be called upon to join In the hills of On
tario as chief , the doctor said :
There are now only 4,000 of us on the
iMohawk reservation , comprising six nations
the Mohawks , Tuscaroras , Dolawarcs ,
Oneldas , Cayngaa and Onondagocs. Some
Indian tribes will become extinct , just as
some branches of the white race become ex
tinct , but not so the Qlohmwks. Wo have an
unwritten law which forbids Intermarriage
with the whites and this is strictly ob
served.
"Morally the 'Mohawks ' are ahead of any
other nation. They are total abstainers
from liquor and crime Is almost unknown
among them. It was entirely unknown un
til some of the members of the trlbo ac
quired the drink habit from the whites who
have come among us. Wo are now the
most contented soula on earth. Our people
are engaged In farming and mercantile pur
suits and every man Is considered the
equal of every other one. Wealth Is not a
barrier. The poor man Is Just as much
respected and holds hl head just as high
as his moro fortunate brother.
It has been demonstrated by the experience
of the Mohan ks that education Is the only
thing necessary to convert the Indian Into
an equality with the white man In point of
Intelligence , and our schools have been our
especial charge. The graduate of a Mohawk
Institution Is equipped to enter any Ameri
can college , The only hope for the Indian
Is In education and the government of Uie
United States Is purslung a most commend
able course In providing educational ad
vantages for Its wards.

"Our religious belief IB almost the exact
counterpart of the ancient Jewish religion.
Wo have not accepted modern forma of
worship. Wo believe In a Supreme Deity
and follow many of the ceremonies of the
ancient Israelites. In fact , wo observe all
of their fasts except that of the 1'oBeovor.
The general /belief / among our tribe Is that
wo are descended from one of the lost tribes
of Israel. At certain iporlods of the year
we gather for religious wornhlp and our
priests are the old men of the tribe , whom
wo all reverence. They toll us what wo
shall do and what wo shall not do In order
to reach a future state of happiness , and
wo follow out their teachings with Implicit
faith and confidence. Wo are taught to
love one another , to respect property rights ,
the laws of marriage and In all respects to
follow out the teachings of the precepts
contained In the Ten Commandments. "
Chief Oayolhcosola was educated for a
physician , but this alone Is not responsible
for bin title as doctor. It comes to him by
Inheritance , as all of the head men of the
tribe are supposed to bo versed In medi
cine and the head chief Is the chief roodl-
clno man and his code In the law of nature.
Twice each year the wbolo tribe gathers to
listen to uards of counsel and advice from
the medlclno man and his teachings are fol
lowed to the letter , Whether especial power
Is given to the Mohawk medlclno man , or
whether It is attributable to the natural
laws , nhlch are followed , the fact remains
that tbo Mohawk Indians are all splendid
specimens of hardihood and manhood , and
but llttlo slckncui Is over among them ,
death resulting In most cases from old age.
The doctor expects U > remain in Omaha
several days longt-r. No definite conclusion
has as yet been reached In Ills proposition
to bring members of his trlbo from Ontario
to attend the exposition.
