Tho-death of Dr. Canmra Pestanf. , tlio head W the ' BactorioloKlcal Institute of Lisbon , Portugal , has dealt the saddest blow- to the scientific circles ot Lisbon that has been struck at It slnco the organization of the Institute. The manner of his death , his heroic devotion to the cauao of bclenco to which , ho had given the best efforts of his llfo avil the trhlal circumstance tohlcli his death was due , are graphically told by o. correspondent of the Philadelphia Times. Ho1 owed hl death to a Jest , a pun , the off spring of hlH ready vvlt. Ho was standing beblde. the , dissecting table at the tlmo and had been studying the plague bacilli in the corjiso' of1a bubonic victim brought from Opovto. where IIP had devoted his services to the relief ot the stricken. A friend had called upon him and they were chatting to- Kethcr. The doctor loaned against the table beside him and lightly the two dlscuBsc.l . BOIIIO trivial occurrence. Then the doctor bet both laughing- a ready pun upon a iiamo that was mentioned. AH ho laughed his hand dropped to his side and In so doing touched the sham point ot the n-alpcl bcslue the body. A moment before It had been liroblng the Ijmplmtlcs of the victim of the deadly scourge and the ylrus was upon the point. It Just penetrated the cuticle and the tiniest Mi op lit blood showed on the surface of HID skill'but tlw-diimago Irrevocably dotio nnd the Inoculation had taken place. The gravity of the circumstance was at wu-o amirvciiitcd nndevery , posslblo precau tion taken to prevent the taking hold tf the Kcrm ot tllsiMSu. but all to no avail. Within twenty-four hours the Im-ubatlon h.ul taken place The deadly bacilli was In the blood Bud doing-Its work atd ) all that remained was for the p'ntlent to be re-moved to some lhoUte I epot whcio he r mlil light with death without endangering the ilvos of thoto about for his removal HP himself gave the directions moval to' tuivwlnp or the Uospltal to which virulent contagious diseases were assigned. Once there ho was attended by two students described th precautions that of his , IJo they bliould take while remaining with him to prevent their falling victims to the con- ( afiion , nnd tlu-n set about studying the p > n > ptomB of his dfseaso as they de\eloped. analyzing iiml illbcuwlns'tUcm to his nttend- nnts ull the time , and explaining the treat ment that would rellcAo them of their p. tn. Womlt'rrii ! SI < II > | HIII , Pn matVcra proceeded for another day uu- III the dlscjisn ' becumo , more mnrknl and the ceitainty of de'.uh iwamo to lilm. Ills stol- i-ltm was wonderful. Not one thought of himself appeared to enter his mind. He was only Interested that the others did not be come affected with the dUeaso and that hdcnco should bencllt by his own experi ence. So as the disease proureptxl heh - ' .dly descrlbenl the symptoms ami conditions to his fellows and lectured to them upon the theory of the awful scourge. A more tragic scene can scarcely be pic tured. In the lliiln plnln cot In the big empty hospital rogm ho1 [ ay. There was no furnishing HIV it. ' slnglt table lies hie him. 1Kb two attendants stoofl beside him and noted the calm fnco and wonderful courage nnd marveled. Ho was more settled and sod - d to than the ) Hta uilud uecmed to be tbat or the professor who had stood so recently In the Institute amphitheater to describe the ravages of the scourge , while his body ap peared to bo that ot another a patient upon whom ho was lecturing. Lifted entirely nbovo himself he was two persons In one. The two companions were so Impressed by the solemnity and marvel of the spectacle tbat they drank In every word ho uttered. Their minds retained every speech and either of them could have afterward repeated al most verbatim the conversation when they finally left the chamber of death. This , In deed , Dr. Cabllla did In his diary. DrnrrllilnK \ r.SrliMiiUoilN. \ . The first symptoms of the disease were sc- vbro chills that afflicted him Immediately after his removal to the isolated wing. Tteeo are the natural forerunners of the disease , " he said. "They Invariably appear. They nrp harmless. There Is no need tryIng - Ing to stay them except for the comfort of the patient , for they mean nothing but a piemonltlon of the change that is going on within. Soon they will be followed with HushcH of heat and with fever , nnd by to morrow I will doubtless begin to feel the rigors that are to announce the ical hold of the dibeaao beginning. " And , as he said , the next day the Hushes of heat came , followed by the Inteneo rigors of the muscles when the stiffened limbs seemed as though they would never relax. Ills mental and physical prostration at these times was great , but he always managed to gain Btrength enough to discuss his condi tion and analyze It. "Hcforo the end of the day , " he said , "I Hhr.lt have severe headaches and vertigo , fol- li.wcd by Intcnso nausea and vomiting. There Is no relief from the headache , but the vomiting and nausea may be stayed to an extent without cither weakening the patient or precipitating the fatnl stages of ihc dlu- ease. When It comes blmply treat the ver tigo as you would were It the result of a slight stomach disorder and pay no further attention to It. " K.xactly as he had described these condi tions existed. They weakened him materi ally , and were followed by a Hteadlly gain ing fever that seemed to consume every mcmbrano of his body. Slowly U rose nnd would not bo checked by any means that could bo employed. It was then the first evidence of a bubonic swelling appeared. This began with tender ness and some pain , followed by a gT.diMl enlargement. The size of the swelling stead ily Increased and the pain continued. Tor this the only relief was an Injection of mor- I lilap. but this ho would not permit , saying Unit If the GcnalbllltleH wern dulled In any way he might not be able to study them as effectively. "Tho swelling will Increase until It reaihrs the slzo of an egg. It may oven he larger. There Is no use trying to dissipate It , for this Is the blgnal that the poison has entered the blood and bcccmo septic and that all the lymph glands all over the body are carrying the virus All of them will bo similarly effected , and If my strength lasts long enough they will rupture and great ulcers will form. Death will come about the sev- onlh day with my vital force , I should cay , though there Is blight chanceof recnxer/ if I pasa beyond that day. There vae not enough of the \lrus on the point of the scalpel to produce death In lees time than that , although In the most virulent comll- ti-n deith Is almost sure to entue inilde of forty-eight hours , certainly In four days. 1 The tinntal exhaustion ( f the patient was 'cotibtantly ' Increasing. At any time tint the fever reso l.eycnd 103 degrees dcllrluri wag likely to follow , and perhaps If the fever was Intense enough , hallucination and ma niacal excitement. If continued ! , stupor wag ' then sure to ensue , and possible coma , U , was these that Dr I'estana feared most , for ho wished to die describing each uymp- t < n and change In bis condition. There really sccuieJ a likelihood tbat Jellr- lum would como to him , but ho was spared this except for n short time on the second night. His face was flushed and daik. His eyes were dull , with the pupils extended. His expression was anxious and haggard. It seemed that twenty years had been added to his age In a day. Instead of a man of Ito In the full bloom ot strength , he had suddenly - denly become a man ot 50. Had emaciation followed ho would have dried up and with ered away like a man ot SO , but the disease was too swift for that. Ho w-as constantly asking about the con dition of his mouth and throat. "When the ulccratlon of the tonsils , the congestion of the pharynx nnd the parching of the tongue and Bkln begin , then the dissolution will probably follow within forty-eight hours. Is my tongue coated or the pulse Irregular ? I feel no great thirst. These are the signs of death. When they como watch for the abeccsses nnd carbuncles that nro likely to follow. Do not try to relieve them. I want you to dissect them and study them partic ularly after , for wo know almost nothing about them. " At the beginning of the. third day ho be gan to ask for drink more often than be fore. "Is my tongue not parched yet ? " he asked , and his voice was almost eager , as though ho were anxious for the signs of death to make themselves manifest. And In truth ho was ; not that ho wished to hasten It through any desire to have an end of the sufierlng , but simply that ho wished his case to bo a perfect example ot the disease and 1U ravages. HiiMliI I'rojrrt'HM of ( lie Mlcrolir. "You see that the culture of the microbe In the blood is very fast , and once It attacks tbo UFHUO there Is no staying It. It travels to every part ot the body nnd every mem brane IB affected by It. Kvery organ Is op pressed by It except the pancrease. All the others must product ! ulccratlon. In my case the stomach and heart should bo splendid specimens of its effect , unless , " and his face darkened , "tho slight weakucts of my heart should glvo way under the strain and I should dlo of heart disease. "Hut I do not believe It will , " and ho looked relieved. "I hope that the effect will be very plain. " "When you examine the heart look for a degeneration of the pericardium and an ex- cefB of the pcrlcardlac fluid. You will find the stomach ulcerated anil perhaps a few small hemorrhages have taken place In some of the smaller glands. The liver , spleen and kidneys should show the same condition , perhaps to a lesser extent. The Intestines will probably show a tumor or two , and perhaps hemorrhages of a similar character to those of the stomach , Dut I do not believe that mine will show a well developed tu- morlc condition , so they will probably not bi > aa good bpcclmens as I wish they were. "If my death Is long delayed you will likely find u brownish degeneration of the bones , particularly of the femur. "Tho lungs will surely bo blood full and a condition will exist somewhat as In pneu monia. There will ho abscr te.s , too. I do not think the aesophagus will bo altered while the larynx and pharnyx will present an Interesting study. Cannot you see the j ( brownish mcmbrano forming over my ton- alls as he opened his mouth I feel as thnnp.li that were cnmlng on now. " Dr. Cabllla examined the throat and mouth of the patient carefully. When ho ceased Dr. 1'c.stana had read In his face the truth. "Tho end Is coining , " ho cried. "Well , you can do nothing further now. The death agony will begin In about ten hours. " l'"a r > - \ < 11 I n M I r HIT 11 o u N , Then ho began to talk of the arrangement * for h's ' funeral , and hl post-mortem ex amination. "You must very carefully com pile the results you find and send them to the Pasteur Institute in I'arls. When 1 studied there I promised that they should have the results of a post-mortem examina tion of my body If it were worth while. I did not dream then that so important a re sult would attach to my death. "Do very careful in dealing with the mi crobe. I would examine a bit of blood from , the linger tips Immediately after death. You : ' will find that it contains many of the rod- ! shaped microbes , rounded at both extremi ties. The poles will he more deeply stained than the central portion , much like the cholera bacillus. In the glands , which you need not examine right away , you will llnd I many of them , and you may find some In ' the lungs , the heart , the brain and the spinal I cord. You ought to llnd the brain rather softer than you would expect. Kxamlne It carefully and see If you can detect any or ganic change. If you propagate the bacilli be very careful with It. You can cultivate it in blood serum or In bouillon or in steril ized milk. You will llnd that It will retain Its virulence almost Indefinitely , but that it can bo killed In a temperature of SO degrees Centigrade. Carbolic acid and concentration of lime will do It as well. "If you Inoculate animals with It try In halation. I ha\e not been very successful In infecting by this means , though It can un doubtedly bo done. It is done , in fact , In human life. The contagion Is certainly spread In that way. H can be roadlly administered through the food , too , quite ns readily as by Inoculation. "In making an examination you will find that the blood of the finger will tell of the presence ot the disease more often than any other means. In 97 per cent of the casw I have known the germs were so discovered. To make euro of your diagnosis nfter the disease develops examine the lluld aspirated from the glandular swelling. It Is sure to betray the truth If the other has not cer tainly fattened you. "I hope you will be nblo to find Inoculation preventive. I am sure It can bo done , though 1 have not succeeded as well as I had hoped in my experiments. " And ho continued until he had explained every detail of his disease and Its patho logical effects upon his body. Ho described minutely ull that they could expect to find In every part of his body and asked them to bo verv careful to understand clearly cer tain things that were still obscure to him about the effects of the disease on the sys tem. Ho emphasized ngaln and again the need of the dltcovery of a preventive In In oculation and explained over and over again the precautions they were to take to prevent contagion and the spread of the malady. In Ihr Vllll ' .v of Uic Shining. This continued until night when the fever had reached Its height and had deprived him of his power of thought. Ho was delir ious all tluough the night and conbtnntly was opprei-sed by hallucinations , Imagining hinuclf nguln at Opoiio working among the plague patients for whom ho did so noble a work. Then the cxi-ltojutnt Increased and maniacal tendencies were displayed , and finally the stupor nnd coma that ho had pre dicted. Thcro were no spasms such as ho bald might eneuo after the coma disap peared. On the other hand , ho came out of It f lowly back to hl own strong mind. jlo was greatly cnerxatcd and had not the strength of mind or body to contlnuo his dlscufglons of lilt ; condition. That hi * mind was btill working with It was plainly evi dent , clnro from time to time some remark would Hash out that displayed BOIDO new feature of tbo cabe. Hut ho ha < } evidently exhausted the possibilities of his case , for he finally began to simply repeat the more Important admonitions. In thin way be slowly aunt. , his strength leaving him gradually with muchlegs Buf fering than he had expected. Gvcn at the end though bo allowed thorn la give him b'tlmulanU , he would not take anything to deaden hlu sensibilities. Shortly-before ho died he eald ; "U cannot laat more than a half hour longer. " And then ho began again to lecture In broken sentences until the words died on his lips and he gasped his la&t breath. A more complete abnegation of self and Its Intel ests for the benefit of science has never come to the attention of the medical profession In Lisbon. Every one is praising his heroism. Naturally the death has made a deep Impression on all his comrades , and as a mark of alfectlon an much as anything else they followed his instructions to the letttr In the matter of conducting a complete post mortem examination. No precaution was neglected , nnd the results attained when ( hey are summarized will be sent to the Pasteur institute at Paris , and will bo formulated and published , giving the re sults to the world with all their Important bearing on the dreadful disease and Us al leviation , If not Its cure. At the present time , according to Dr. Pcstana himself , there is no cure. Any one who In afflicted and escapes death recovers. Ho' is not cured. A curious fact was the verification of the last sentence he spoke before death. He said : "After death the temperature of the body will Increase rather than diminish for several da > s. In about four days it will reach Its maximum , probably 10S degrees. Then It will subside. " The only thing In which his prediction failed was In the fig ures. The body recorded a temperature or 109.4 degrees four days after death. It thor subsided. WAR IS XOT SO DK.Ull.V. .So I'lum-CN Sn.v , lint SolillrrH I'rohalily \ \ oii'l llcllcvo Tin-in , Statisticians excel In presenting proof In figures which nro bald to bo the only things above ground that don't lie that war Is not deadly , says the New York Proas. They exhibit Incontrovertible evidence that , war or peace , so many persons would dlo each year anyway. The coiuoling fact that dlscaso kills morn soldiers than bullets Is' ' made etlll moro absuaglng by the cheerful' ' announcement that half of the army deaths from disease would have occurred oven In peace. The old axiom that It takes a ton of lead to kill a soldier.Is . bupposod to throw valor Into the soldier's'soul. Grant's illus tration shake up a black bean in a hit of white ones and , blindfolded , pull out the black one Is used as showing the chances of being hit In battle. English , newspapers are compiling col umns of figures designed , apparently , IT show to those that Tommy Atkins leaves behind that Tommy Is pretty sure to comeback back from the Transvaal after all. Amor- lean newspapers prepared ulmllar joyful Intelligence for our soldiers In the early stages of the war with Spain. We showed thnt It took more than 3,780 cartridges to kill a Johnny Hob in our civil war , net to mention a ton and a half of lead and nearly half a ton of powder. And , after wo had wiped Spain off from the map of the western hemisphere and began to ba'- ' anco up accounts wo were gratified to learn that ammunition worth $100,000 and ono priceless human life were expended In using up Cervera's squadron , while Dewey , a few months before , had put Montcjo to sleep by the Judicious expenditure of shot and shell worth $45,000 and losing no lives. So England Is congratulating herself that at Majuba hill , In the last war with the Doors , only eighty-three out of the RM Uni ons engaged were killed , hoping , however , that such a mortality won't occur again , At Omdurman , In the. Soudan , when th dervishes lost 10,000 of their force of fiO.COO England lost only fifty-two killed. Though no artillery ever was handled bet ter than that of the fiorma.ns In the war of 1870 , yet when they shelled Mczleres in that year at the rate of three and a half shells a minute , and when they had dispatched IBS,000 piojcctlles into the town , IMS than Ha per cent of the inhabitants were killed , or , It took CIS shot or shell to kill one per- ton. At THonvlllc it took 15,000 shells to kill each person falling , while at Lorguy 30,000 shells failed In wounding a single in dividual. At Itelfort , OU.IGS German shells killed sixty Frenchman ; at Strnsburg , lt 3,72 shells found " 00 victims ; while each Parisian killed In the hlcgo cost the Germans over 1,000 shells.

At Glb- ialtar's great slegu more than a quarter elI I a million shot and shell weio hurled al I the garrison , killing nnd wounding 1,311 per- ' sons. At Salamanca only one rlllo shot in 137 took oflecl ; In the Crimean 15,000,000 shots filed by the llritlsh troops killed 1M.OOO lEus- slaus , ' .1,000,000 French hhots accounted for 51,000 of their allies of today , while tfi- 000,000 HuKslan bhots placed 48.000 Frenen and Turkish troops out of the fight. In the Franco-German war the Teutonic invader fired olT 30,000,000 cartridges and 303,000 rounds of artillery , with the result that It took about 100 bullets and live rounds of artillery to kill or mortally wound a Fienchmaii. Compared to bombardments , p'tohcd ' bat tles are far moio deadly , but since the days of Waterloo the ( Linger bus decreased greatly. At Wellington'ii great \i''ory ' the mortality of the Ilrltlsli combatants was S'j per rent of these engaged. At the Alma 7'j ' per cent , while in the hard-fought battle of Gravclntte the proportion of German nnd French soldiers lighting who wt-ie killed was over 32 per cent. With regard to the Franco-German rtnr , I which cost the French In war expent-es aloiu- about $ lfi,000 for each German killed ( ib- | total cent to Kronen eventually wiis about $80.000 for every Invader that foil ) , II Is ca- t'mated that 5 per cent of the Germans en gaged were killed in battle , died of their wounds , or of disease , but of the 50,000 who owr-d thr-lr death to this campaign only 28,000 fell to the lire of the enemy , and of the remaining 22,000 who succumbed from dlbeaso , 10,000 probably would have died In ordinary circumstances npiut from war. It took 100 shots to kill each of the 77,000 Frenchmen who fell. In the Crimean campaign , Including HIT hlegc of Hubastopol , 710 shots wne flro I for o\e'ry Husslan killed. Of the 22,000 Ilrltlsli lives lost In this campaign only 1J > { , per cent , or about 22,750 died In battle ; the remainder succumbed to dlscaso nnd priva tion , iibsaliants far moro deadly , as a rule , than bullelH.
