Because of the great novelty of the proposition, tlie projectors of the “Mareorama” have been assigned by the directors of the l’arls exposition to a most prominent site, in the very shadow of the Eiffel tower, as a loca tion for the proposed amusement fea ture. The word "Mareorama” Is a new one, which has been coined for this special occasion. It means a panorama of tue sea. But as it Is designed It will be none of the old-time panoramas, where one takes a position on an ele vated platform and views a stretch of canvas with a somewhat realistic fore ground which encircles him. Ou the contrary, a sensation, new and novel In every particular, will be revealed to the visitor. Nothing more or less than a perfect Illusion of an ocean trip is what is In store for him. Not a trip of a few minutes, but a voyage, a cruise as seri ous and as attractive as if he were really on the deck of a bona fide steam er going at full speed. Entering the doorway he finds him self on the gangplank leading up to the deck of what Is apparently a full- fledged ocean steamer, apparently tied up at the wharf. The reproduction is accurate In every detail. The smoking funnels, lifeboats, ropes and pulleys, ventilators, port boles, masts and spars and the uniformed crew, with the members working under the direction of the captain on the bridge all serve to Increase the Illusion. Great confusion prevails Just before the announced departure of the boat. Deck stewards and cabin stewards are busy looking after the comfort of the guests, spectators or passengers, which ever they happen to be in this instance. These- petty officials are ruslLng around looking after baggage, getting chairs and doing a dozen otlu-r like errands. After a while the gangplanks are with drawn and stowedaway, whlsdeslgna s are blown and gongs sounded and the lioat pulls out, leaving the city of Mar seilles. which Is the starting point, dis appearing in the distance. The scen ery of the vicinity is accurately repro duced and finally the boat reaches the high seas. Things have been all rosy up to this time, but now the sun’s light Is noticed to l»e gradually diminishing and a spot darker than the rest of the horizon appears. A storm Is approach ing. The roar grows louder nnd louder until it breaks In all Its genuine fury. The waves dash over the deck and lightning plays through the rigging. The sailors run wildly back and forth and Into the rigging, where sails are furled and others are at the same time engaged In making fast the more ex- be gone through with great accuracy and faithfulness of detail, as well as other episodic spectacles by numerous actors. When Naples Is reached myri ads of small boats appear, containing natives, who offer for sale fruit and trinkets and at the command of the officer some of them will execute the famous tarentella. Further on Arabs and Almees will entertain the voy agers. The Incidents en route will be varied and interesting. Including a | meeting with a naval squadron, a sun rise at sea. ship on fire and rescue of the crew and other effects. The mech in- ical portion will also be Interesting. The ship will be in a tank, which is floating within another tank, and the rocking motion will be given from the outside by means of pistons. The piv ots on which the deck works are ar ranged in a circle aud are confront'd by means of levers from the bridge. This machinery will make the boat roll and pitch exactly as if it were In the trough of the sea. The illusion created by these movements, combined with the brilliant light effects and the mov ing panorama on either side, will be en hanced by the breeze fraught with salt water which will sweep the decks. The ceiling of the panorama will be arched, to appear to the eye Just as the sky does. Upon this celling the sun will rise and set, the moon and the stars will appear aud even the clouds and lightning are to be reproduced In the storm scene, which will represent every feature of a furious tempest at sea, minus only the danger. Passengers who cannot stand the movements on deck can go below into a cabin at the center of the boat, where the motion Is but slightly felt, and can see the pano- ON THE DECK OF THE MAREORAMA. posed pieces of dwk furniture. All this time the deck of the sham boat Is plunging up and down and rolling and tosslug lu exactly tlie same manner as a boat on the seas. A ray of light is now Men and soon the atmosphere has cleared again and all Is rosy once more. The boat rocks to and fro now with pleasant undulations. The Itinerary of the trip Includes sto|»s at Algiers, Naples. Venice and Constantinople. At each lauding there will be attractions for the amusement of the patrons of the Mareorama. and these features will be characteristic of the places stopped at and the landings at each place will be marked with some lively acenes as above descril»ed. The maneuvers of dropping the anchor, putting out a gang plank and In some luatauce» the launching of a boat will ratna through the portholes on either side. The sea breeze will be furnished by huge ventilators, and the air passing first through a layer of varech nr sea weed will l»e impregnates! with the fra grance of the ocean winds.

It travels, as cholera formerly did, in waves over the world, running generally from the east to the west. It attacks a very large proportion of the population, especially at the beginning of an epidemic; then lu recurrent years It seizes upon those who have previously escaped, and the epidemic does not finally die out until nearly every one has suffered its mis eries. Medical writers usually distinguish three forms of influenza, according as the nervous, the digestive, or the catar rhal symptoms predominate; but all constitute one and the same disease, and one form may easily pass Into an other in the course of the same attack. In a typical case Influenza begins suddenly with a general ill feeling, headache, pains in the muscles and in the back, loss of appetite, and a sense of extreme weakness. There may be a hard chill, or a succession of slight chills, or a general chilly sensation, and soon a high fever declares Itself. The eyes are often congested and sen sitive to light, the nose runs, there Is pain at the root of the nose and over the eyes, and all the symptoms of a se vere cold in the head are experienced. The tongue is heavily coated, swallow ing is difficult or painful, and the voice is hoarse or whispering. Often there Is more or less jaundice. The pulse Is very rapid and weak, especially when the patient stands. A peculiar symptom in influenza, one that often serves to distinguish it sharply from an ordinary cold. Is a marked depression of spirits; the pa tient is plunged in despair, and no amount of argument or raillery has any effect on his misery. In some severe cases of the so-called nervous form of the disease this melancholy is so ex treme as to lead to attempts at suicide. In the gastric form of influenza we find a loathing for food, nausea and vomiting, aud severe bowel troubles. In the respiratory forms, bronchitis and especially pneumonia are frequent and dangerous complications. In the treatment of grip we must first remember that we are dealing with no ordinary cold, but with a se vere disease calling for as much care as scarlet fever or pneumonia. The patient must not only stay in the house but In bed. All cases of grip, whether mild or severe, need a physi cian's oversight.—Youth’s Companion. Dr. Darrin has reduced hl» professional fees to half his former charges for one month only, so as to accommodate many of the afflicted who were unable to meet his terms tn the past, and also for the benefit of those who have hesitated to apply to him. The worthy poor will be treated free, except medicines, from 10 to 11 dally. Those able to pay. from 10 to 5; evenings, 7 to 8; Sundays, 10 to 12. That Dr. Darrin is effecting some won derful cures by electricity and medicines Is a fact supported by the strongest evi dence, as the following names will show: Mrs. A. C. Landis, 805 West street.
