In two Australian towns away up in the mountains there are now institu- tions for the treatment of consumption by the “new method, ” which calls for little beside fresh air and food. The “sun box,” which the Australian doc-. tors consider essential, is described by the Melbourne Argus as a frame struc- ture, open at the top, about six by ten feet in size. “Why, I lived in a. sun box for years “hen I first came to the country, but we used to call it a hut' in those days!” some readers will be ready to exclaim. There is this difference, however, be- tween a but and a. sun box, that the former is a- fixture, unless a bush fire or a hurricane comes along, whereas a sun box should be constructed on a ‘pivot, or, failing that, on wheels, 56 that its front may be readily turned - away from the wind. The reason is that while fresh, pure air and sunlight mean renewed health to the consump- .. tive patient, the wind is injurious. If y on have no sun boxes, the patient. '1’ must be taken indoors whenever the wind blows, but, given your sun box to present its back to the wind, no matter what quarter it comes from, and the - patient may remain in it all day. In each of these boxes two or three patients are placed on mattresses, and there they lie all day long and drink in the pure mountain air. If they are weak their food is taken to them, otherwise they get it in the home. Photographs show the treatment be- ing carried out right among the gleam’- ing mountain snow s—with the con- valescent patients engaged in snow- balling! FIRST DAILY WA‘S WRITTEN. London's Earliest Newspaper Was in the Manuscript of Its Cor- respondents. It has been discovered that what may be called the. first daily newspaper was a manuscript letter written by salaried correspondents and forwarded to them every 24 hours from London to the prov- inbes. That was in the days of the early Stuarts. During the commonwealthfhese Lon- don letters were printed in type and Even so long ago as 1680 the law of libel was such as to be characterized by Judge Scroggs as making any newspaper pub- lication illegal and tending to provoke a breach of the peace. Defoe, the author of “Robinson . Crusoe,” was one of the early journal’ ists, his paper being called the Review. Then there was Tutchin, whose weekly publication, the Observer, cost, accord- »ing to evidence he gave in a court of justice, half a guinea to print, though the typesetter evidently raised his price to 20 shillings. The Observer had a cer- tified cir'culatiOn of 266 copies. Afterward there came .t-he Grants, Steele, Addison and Johnson, who might ha\e lived in the vicinity of 'Grubb st] eet', but were coult favorites £01 all that. The Times employed the first foreign correspondent in the per- son of Henry Crabb II obinson, and succeeded in “scooping” the gov ernment itSelf 1n the 7 news of the battle of Waterloo. —————-—m¢ Robbed the Grave. ‘ ;- A startling incident of which Mr. John Oliver of Phila.
