Ttco Bodies Joined Together Sn a Way
That Ecltpses the Ssamese Tscins
DIR. Philip Leidy, of this city, has presented
to the Wistar and Horner Museum of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, a rare and valuable
contribution to medical science. It is a
monstrosity in the shape of two perfectly
developed children, Joined together from the
shoulder to the hips, and known in medical
literature as omphalopagAs CASTRO Moraco dids,-
mus, meaning combination of the anatomical
parts connected, in the light of which the
Siamese twins are cast far into the shade. The
twins, if they may be called such, are females,
weighing fourteen pounds, and were l-born,
having been removed by the Caesarian opera
tion, the mother surviving twen-
ty-twO hours. Dr. Leidy says there is no re-
cord in American medical literature of such
another case, and it is claimed that there is
but one case OF the kind ever reported, that
mentioned by DR.. Voorman, German pbysi-
clan, in an exhaustive treatise on monstrosi-
ties. There are five different species of this
form of monstrosity, of which the above is re-
garded as the crOWning specimen, the one of
most rare occurrence. The Siamese twins
belong to one of these series. First according to
medical men, two bodies may be Joined at the
thOrax; next at the sternum; next at the Zip
hold cartilage; fourth, at the abdomen, and
fifth, at all four places combined, and of this
kind is the specimen in the possession of DR..
Leidy, The monstrosity, which is regarded as
a great contribution to medical science, was
removed on Friday last by DR.. Leidy, assisted
by Drs. j. Collins and J. r. Partenheimer.

Strongly in Faror of Grants Nomination.

Strongly IN FGror of Grants Nomination.
New York Herald, May 30.
Nevertheless, the Herald has become quite
willing and even desirous that he should be
nominated. The third term question has risen
to such prominence that the tranquility of the
country requires that it be settled once for all
There is no chance of settling it by the operose
and dilatory method of amending the consti-
tuition; but it may be done quite as effectually
and conclusively by an ordinary appeal to the
ballot box. Since the question is forced upon
us, it is expedient to have it decided If q
citizen SO truly illustrious as General Grant,
and who has rendered such invaluable services
to the country, is defeated for the sole and
simple reason that he is running for third
term, no future pretensions will ever be listen
ed to in violation of a great unwritten part
of the constitution. General Grant g nomina-
tion and defeat would settle the third term
question forever, and not even its ghost would
ever again disquiet the country. 1t is impor-
tant that incip1ent imperialism be not merely
scorched but killed. Gen. Grants defeat at
Chicago would merely ''scotch the snake;' but
his defeat in the election would kill it so dead
that there would be no signs of surviving life,
even in the wiggllng of its tail. We are, there
fore, strongly in favor of Gen. Grants nomi-
nation, not that we love him less, but the
country more. By all means let us have this
dangerous question so irreversibly decided that
it can never be revived. The nomination of
Gen. Grant and his overwhelming defeat in
the election if the suresJ of all possible ways of
setting this question at rest. By all means let
the Chicago convention nominate Grant,

FROST TREATMENT OF SMALLPOX
A German journal states that dur
ing the recent cold weather in Eu-
rope, several patients delirious, with
smallpox, covered with disgusting
postules, in the highest grade of the
fever, and past hope of recovery,
according to general experience, es-
capped from the City Hospital Of
Posen, spent the freezing-eold night
in the open air, and in the morning
had no fever, and the postules were
healing. The same results were OBJ
served in three cases. The physi-
clans thought they should not neg
lect the lesson, SO they took some of
the worst smallpox cases from the
warm wards, put them into cold
rooms with open windows, and re-
covery was the consequences. Sim
ilarly favorable results were obtained
by treating patients sick with
"many other fever-infection diseas-
es'' (Which are not named, though it
would be important to know them,)
by exposing them to a temperature
below frost. 1t was observed that
the fever heat, which is one of
the chief symptoms of disease, and
measure Of its danger, diminished
under the influence of the cold air,
without the help of any drug. If
these statements be true, they may
be the indications Of O highly i'm
portant advance in the medical art.
Is there to be an ice-house depart
ment in every well-regulated hospi-
tai? How soon is the cold-cure for
smallpox to be tried in California.

Using Tides as a Motive Power.

A suggestive paper was recently
read before the Liverpool Engineer
ing Society on "The Utilization of
the Tides" by Mr.. Oates, OF Brad
ford. Mr.. Oates was OF the opinion
that although the coal supply of
England would last for long time
TO come, yet that ultimately the
mower Of the tides would outrival all
other sources of mechanical power.
The ways of taking advantage OF the
power of the tides he divided into
two comprehensive classes-one re-
curing large permanent construc-
ton, such as the various inodifica-
tions OF the tidal dam; this he con-
sidered the most efficient and eco
nomicul for using the vertical mo-
tion of the tide, which motion is the
most important for mechanical pur-
poses. The other class was the
numerous, but comparatively unim.
portant, utilizers, which do not re-
uure such works, such as the tidal
enk, but which would only be
siNployed when the power is re-
ouired intermitently. The former
could only be undertaken by large
public bodies, but the latter might
be employed by small capitalists.
He then suggested how the horizon
tai motion of the tides might be TAX
Ell advantage of by water-whee!s.
etc. After pointing out that the
ways of utilizing the tides were in
numerable, and describing the con-
struction of the tidal dam with suit
able converters of the power, such
as turbines in openings of the dam,
working air-compressing or magnet
ic-electric machines, he stated that
the necessity for large conservators
for storing the power between the
tides would be of the greatest diff
Guilty in utilizing their power. A
brief description OF how this could
be done, and the power rendered
constant, was given. The means OF
conveying the power to Il distance
was then considered, air and water
pressure and electricity being sug-
gested. With regard to the latter,
Mr.. Oates believed that the cage of
steam" had reached it's zenith, and
the cage of electricity" had dawned:
but should there be difficulty in con-
veyins the power to distance, he
il suggested that manufacturing towns
might be built adjacent to suitable
sites for utilizing the tides.

A LOVELY ghost has been lowering

Tas strange visitant appears about

A stranger was driving past that Vi
