HEART DIsEAsE--A yALuABLE HIM.
At the regular meeting OF the :" Medical
Society,"" at the College Of Physiciant
and Surgeons, Dr.. FinnelI submitted :
rare speciman OF fatty heart taken from
the body of col6red woman who're.
Gently fell In syncopc, while shouting IN.

autopsy discovered that the entire struc-
ture OF tho heart had been transformed
from the ordinary healthy muscular tis.

tor said he presented tho case to the So

bearing which it and similar cases had

1t might often happen, as Il Citen did
happen, that man was knocked down
by blow in quarrel, and was supposed
to have been killed BY the blew, when.
in fact, he died as this eolored woman
did, from over.cxcitement acting upon .

careful autopsy in cases Of suppoted
homicide Death resulted In this case
from paralysis Of the heart and long Dc:

indicated the treatment 10 such cases that

could be got together in which there
would not be individuals, with feeble md

iier this woman was, and who might Ole

average thickness OF 81 inches, and carry four II

The Other ContendlnR Powers.
OF the other possible contending parties
England is the most formidable on the sea,
while Austria can muster the largest land force.
The British Army and Navy.
The total force of the army of Great Britain
for the year 1s69-7O was 1917, ,336 men. This in
cluded 1878 commissioned officers, 13,S9S nom
commissioned officers, trumpeters, and drum
mers, and LOG, 400 rank and file. The officers of
the staff and the departments numbered SIS.
The forces of Great Britain in India during
the same year were 63, 707, of whom 1896 were
commissioned officers, 5299 non-commissioned
officers, and 54 Sl2 rank and file.
Besides these two armies, provision has been
made for four classes of reserves the disem-
bodied militia, numbering it is stated, 1913, OIL ;
the yeomanry cavalry of Is, 455 men; the volun-
teers of 199, 306, of whom ia 54S only are reck-
oned efficient; and the army reserve, including
enrolled pensioners, the number of whom is not
known.
The allowance for army expenses for the year
was $7l 152, 600, which was divided as usual
into four parts for the following purposes:
part of $50, 42S 500 for the expense of the regu-
lar forces; another part OF o. 1876 900 for the pay
and allowance of the four classes of reserves
mentioned above; another of Sl3, 1873 500 for

milton, military education, military surveys,
ETC., and fourth part of $40 9l4 900 for distin-
guished services, pay of general officers, re-

There are now in the British navy three admi-
rails of the fleet, all past service; twenty admi-
rails, of whom only two are in commission;
twenty-four vice-admirals, of whom six only
are in commissions; and forty eight rear-admi-
rails, of whom six also are in commission. The
amount of appropriation for this non-effective
service was 81, 5S2, ,625. During the year l6C
ships of all sizes were in commission for foreign
service, and 121 for coast guard, duty on home
stations and service as receiving ships, tenders,
and tugs. There were besides these $40 ships
in reserve or building, very few of which, how

The Military and Naval Forces Of RussIa.
The following is full summary of the mill
tary all naval strength of Russia, according to
the latest official data:-
THE RUSSIAN ARMY.
The land forces of Russi formed OF two de-
scriptions of troops, different from each other In
many respects-the regular troops, properly 80
called, and the feudal militia OF the Cos sacks and
similar tribes. Some corps OF the latter have been
brought into regular form and training and are oc-
casonally employed like the rest OF the army,
ihe regular troops.
The regular army is recruited from the classes OF
peasants and artisans partly and principally by
means Of conscription, partly by the adoption OF
the sons or soldiers, and partly by volunteer enlist
ment. Every individual belonging to these classes
is, with few exceptions liable TO compulsory SER
vice, provided he be OF the proper age and stature.

ing to the returns OF the Ministry OF War, is fol-

These States enjoy nominal semi-indepen-
dence, but virtually they free from Turkish
restraint. Their present rulers are Ismail
Pacha, Viceroy of Egypt; Charles l, Prince of
Roumania; Milan Obrenovitch ", Prince of
Servia and Nicholas l. Prince of Montenegro.
If war between Turkey and Russia results
from the present difficulty, they will all doubt
less claim and achieve their entire indepen-
dence.
The present ruler of Turkey is the Sultan,
Abdul-AZis, who was born February 9, 1880,
and succeeded his brother, Abdul Medjid, June
25, 1861. The present Sultan is the thirty
second, in the male line, of the house of 9th
man, the founder of the empire. He has four
children, but the heir presumptive to the throne
is his nephew Nurad who was born September
81, 1S40.

Constantinople hohastir, Karbrout, Damascus and
Bagdad. Each corps consists OF two divisions, COM
manded by General OF Division. The corps COM
prses eleven regime ents-namely six regiments OF
foot, four OF horse, and regiment OF artillery.
The Reserve, or Redif, forms a second army, with
the same organization that OF the NiZam and
consisting Of the same number OF regiments OF the
various arms. These regiments are divided into
battalions, squadrons, and companies, and have
their standing stan OF officers and corporals, on
active service receiving full pay. The Redif SOL
diers meet every year. for four weeks at the head
the field manGuvres. The auXiliaries consist Of
cOntiDgents OF the tributary provinces.
In the last war with Russia the number OF auxiia-
ries amounted to about $4,000 men, namely, 3d. 600
from Bosnia and the Herzegovina, 20 600 from Upper
Albania, and 5000 from Egypt.
