BY the mirror galvanometer of Sir Will

Importance in securing the success of the
Atlantic Cable, ray Of light is reflected
from minute mirror that is attached to a
magnetic needle. When the electric cur
rent passes the magnet is DETECTED, and
the movement of the reflected spot of light
over a scale indicates the resistance 10 the
passage Of the current. The united weight
OF mirror and magnet is three quarters OF
a grain.
During the experiments with the Allan.
tic Telegraph both cables were connected
at the American end, giving a circuit OF
more than four thousand miles, yet cur

less time than person could pass across

FACTS ABOUT SMALLPOX
The Disease in Detroit---Vaccine Lymph
Claimed to be Protective.

The Detroit POstof Friday, in speaking
or the prevalence of smallpox in that city,
mirthfully refers to the gentle hciier as Il
protecting medium:
As We are not yet free from this disease
in Detroit-in fact ii having increased of
late-The Inst number of the Detroit
ReUiew Of Medicine and Pharmacy com
ments at some length upon the subject. II
publishes the experiments and observations
of DR.. Henry Martin, Of Boston, which
may be condensed as follows;-
'fYirus obtained from heifers by vacci-
mating them with humanized virus is
worthless. Virus froiii spontaneous COW
pox' protect completely.
"The cow-pox Ia not obtained by simply
inoculating the COW with smallpox. Jen-
ner's theory was that the variolous poison
passed through the system of the horse
first and then the cow, ere cow-poX could
dTsken from the heller directly, he
believes that vaccine Is an absolute pre-
ventive This absolute effect can never be
obtained after single remove from the
heifer."
Commenting on this the RsvisV further
adds -
"His experience has been confirmed by
DR.. Frank Foster, of New York city. In
view of the apparent inefIectiveness of
vaccination from humanized virus, and
the consequent widespread ravages
wrought by the smallpox in our country
during the past year, we trust that these
views of DR.. Martin may be thoroughly
tested. He claims that vaccination from
the true, fresh cow.pox is an absolute
protective against smallpox. This cannot
be proved or disproved by theory or de-
nunciations, but only by carefully observed
facts"
If the assertions above given are true,
and il can always be found possible 10
insure the human race from the dread.dis-
ease, great achievement will have been
gained by medical science. It will then
behoove every family to keep its own
heifer. Treaties on Every man his own
inoculatorn will be the order of things.
Instead of sweet, fresh milk, we shall see
numerous signs of "pure, fresh vaccine
lymph" The familiar nursery rhyme
concerning "the COW with crumpled
horu," ETC., will have to be altered so rs
to read something like the following:
"Thinis the heifer without any horn,
That saved the family all fOrlOrn,
Who laughed the smallpox then TO scorn,
Nor could II enter the house that Jack
built"
Nevertheless the fact remains that we
have the smallpox among us. Probably
one of the most effective means Of pre-
venting its spread is by isolation. Among
the classes which generally suffer the most
from it great earelcssness prevails. In
stead of barring all communication from
ihe family of afflicted ones, it is nothing
unusual to exchange calls and permit the
1isensed ones to come in contact with
other people. This is called TO mind par
ticularly by the fact that at present there
are several cases Of smallpox in the city,
in different localities. a dozen, at least,
have been reported.

FOR a moment the two were dumb from

shouted loudly for help, but none being

they recognized az "the strange doctors

the sands. His wet locks hung over, half
covering his face. Victor, lifting the head
upon his knee, stopped down to tear open
the shirt, and so, putting his hand upon
the naked, ttllled, dead heart there was
revealed to him by death the mystery
which his strsngs friends life had hidden
fast.
