Yeu see, in my haste I had not thought of the Spokane Falls or rather, having seen most all the great falls in the United States of America, and being right .on my vay to the Great Niagara, I thought the Spokane Falls did not amount to a hill of beans, but having noth ing else to do, I strolled down to the falls this p. m., and I assure you I was delightfully disappointed. In all the great falls I have ever seen not forgetting some great political party falls I have never seen anything to equal in piclur esqueness and grandeur the Spok ane. As I stood on the image viewing that stupendous cataract, a feeling of sadness came over me. I seemed to realize for the first time how insignificant science was to nature (though nature has done so little for some of us.) I don't like to writ about these fall3 as I cannot do them justice. The up per part of the falls are, us the Frenchman would say, magnificent. They are brokn with here a fall, there an island, there a promontory and here another fall, they seem to join in a merry embrace, then go rolling, tumbling, seething in a boiling mass, then separate, then re-embrace, then glide smoothly along for a short distance, then make another plunge, over the lower fail, for a distance of 150 feet it is one frothing, hissing, foamiirg, distracted mass of distraction. If I did not like Spokane for anything j else, I should like it for its falls. thebpokane are unlike many oi the great fails on account of the nearness of view. While tho Niag ara falls are on a higher scale, you cannot approach them so perfectly as the Spokane. It don't seem to me now as I ever enjoyed a view of the Niagaras (and I have seen them often) with anything like the satisfaction that I do the bpokane to-day. I took my pencil and be gan figuring on the power that could be generated from that fail, and after figuring over all the stationery I had about me I gave it up. I saw the electric light nlant that is run bv a tiny bit of the power and I said to a gentle man, 1 should think electric light must be very cheap here. He re plied, "I should fay so. Why, when it is any way cloudy here they use it all day for it is about as cheap as sunshine any way." Yours truthfully, "T. II. B. Taylor. Laved over. Specimen Cases. S. LI.

The plague, bluck death, has broken out in China and tho death rate is reaching from 800 to 1000 per day. Vessels from Chinese ports arriving in San Francisco are being fumigated and every precaution is being used to pre vent it getting a foothold in this coun try. A brief history of the plague will doubtlessly bo interesting reading. The black death 'is an unfamiliar name to modern times, but in tho middle ages it was a current term, never spoken without a sense of horror. It passed tinder different names at times, such as the "great death," tho "bubo plague," tbe "plague," and, indeed, it was the plague of the ancients. - It was the plague of tho time of Trajan and was lirst mentioned historically by the phy sician Rufus, of Ephesus, and for 2,000 years it has paid periodical visits, chief ly to Mediterranean shores. In tho fourteenth century it extended all over Europe and the mortality was fright ful, fully 25,000,000 of people having succumbed to the scourge, while at the same time in the cast 23,000,000 and in China 13,000,000 perished. In 1050 some 800,000 people were carried off in five months by the plague in Naples. Lon don had been visited 'many times by the disease, when what is known as the "great plague of London" pre vailed in 1GG4, and about one-sixth of the population , of the city was carried off. In Toulon in 1721 one-third of tho population perished. Almost the lost appearance of the black death in Europe was in 1840 and 1841, in Turkey and Dolmatio. It has never appeared in the United States. Our first accurate knowledge of the scourge dales from its prevalence in Egypt from 1833 to 1845, where it was studied by European physieans as care fully as could be done with the restrict ed pathological teachings of that time. Since then there have been outbreaks in Irak on the Euphrates in 1SC7 and in f l.a, in is, a at liagaau, in 13. v at otr.er points on tho Tigris, and again in 18S4 in the samo parts of Mesopotamia. In 1S73 Europe was thrown into a panie by the appearance of the plague on the banks of the Volga, but it was mild in character, and died out spontaneously in a short time. The various govern ments sent commissions to the spot to study and report upon the disorder, but it had quite disappeared when the commissioners arrived, and consequent ly our scientific knowledge of the disor der was not increased. We know it to be the most fatal of all epidemic diseases. The mortality varies from sixty to ninety per cent, of those attacked, and occasionally every person affected dies. Not only human beings suffer, but rats, cats, dogs, cat tle and other animals beenme victims to the pestilence. It is undoubtedly an acute infectious disease, caused by some micro organism which has unusually malignant proclivities, and which mul tiplies with enormous rapidity within the body. Death sometimes takes place in a very few nours. Among the symp toms which have contributed to its vari ous designations are enlargement and suppuration of glands and the forma tion of carbuncles, whence the same "bubo-plutrue;" and hemorrhagic spots and petechia) under the skin, rendering the body quite dark or oiack, whence) the origin of the phrase "black death." Like the1 cholera and smaUpox and several other contagions diseases, it haunts the habitations of the poor, the shiftless, and the squalid. Modern civilisation in Europe, with its im proved sanitation of cities aad perfected water supply, has gradually eradicated most of the epidemics that so ravaged medieval peoples, but psulcncc still lingers among the Orientals, where everything it demands for its susten ance and perpetuation is furnished with prodigal liberality; foul water, decay ing food, vile habits, filthy houses, an dean vcrtments, and streets recking with garbage and ollal. Ss long as those conditions persist, and unhappily they do persist oven under the foster ing care of European governments having control in these regions, so long will the cost be a constant menace to the health of civilized mankind. While it is hardly probable that the black death will ever again visit Europe in a form so calamitous as formerly, still conditions might at some time become so favorable for the growth and prop agation of its germ that it might cause great havoc in certain continental cities such as Astrakhan, Constan tinople, and tho like where sanitation is scarcely known even bv nm LAM) KOK SALE.
