Where a number of brid ges were
required to cross small but tortuous
stream in Cass County, Iowa, the Chi.
cago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad
Company, which is now replacing it's
bridges, concluded it would be cheaper
to change the course of the stream, and
this is being done.
"A railroad is projected to connect
Antioch and Lagrangeville, CAL, dis
lance of 165 miles. Its to be a single
track road on the James patent. The
cost OF construction per mile is esti-
mated at 81, 200; entire cost, $198, 900;
equipment, $4,000; estimated earn
lngs for six months, $500, 900; working
expenses, 100000. The road will be
built in the interest of the farmers of
the great plains, and if successful will
revolutionize them by providing cheap
and certain outlet to the sea.
The phenomenon of the perfora.
ton OF rocks by sand carried on the
wind has been observed in the Valley
of the Rhone in France. A very VIC
lent wind often prevails in the neigh
borhood of Uzes, and drives large guam
titles of sand against band of quartz
ose pebbles contained in a tertiary
soil. The pebbles contain cavities
which might be believed to have been
made by human hands, but which are
really produced by the often renewed
friction of the sandy particles against
their surface.
Ocean sOundings made with what
is known as Sir William Thompson's
steel wire show that along the entire
coast of California, depth of 1,5OO
fathoms or more is reached as near as
within distance of from twenty to
seventy miles westward from the shores,
the greater part of this sudden fall oc-
curing the last ten to fifty miles. At
one hundred miles west from San
Francisco the bottom is found to be
over $500 fathoms deep. The bed of
the ocean continues of uniform depth,
greater than 1900 fathoms, until the
Sandwich Islands are reached, the
greatest depth being 5000 fathoms, at
distance of about four hundred miles
east of Honolulu, which great depth is
maintained until within ninety miles of
Honolulu; at fifty miles from that place
the depth is 1,50o fathoms.
The following preparation, it is
claimed, will render wood incombusti-
bic and impermeable: Sulphate of zinc,
% pounds; alum, A pounds; oxide of
manganese, % pounds; sulphuric acid
OF 60 deg. % pounds; water, So pounds.
All the solid ingredients are put into a
boiler containing the water at As deg.
c. Q13 deg. F. J, and as soon as thew
are dissolved the sulphuric acid is
poured in gradually until the mass is
completely saturated. The pieces of
wood are kept about five centimeters
Q.97 in. apart, and after three hours
boiling they are dried in the open air.
The natural appearance of the wood is
not changed. To whatever heat it is
subjected it resists combustion, the sur
race being simply covered with thin
charred coating, which is easily rubbed
off.

The New Anmsthetic Process.

A late number of the Medical Record
contains notice of a new and curious
method of deadening pain, which is of
striking simplicity. 1t was discovered
by DIR. Bonwill, a dentist of Philadel-
phia, in 1875. In 1876 DR.. A. Hewson
made a favorable report of his expo
rience with it to the International Med
ical Congress and at q recent meeting
of the Philadelphia County Medical So
ciety several papers were read on the
subject, and much discussion followed.
In using the method. the operator mere
~ requests the patient to breathe rap
idly, making about 100 respirations per
minute, ending in rapid putting expira-
tions. At the end IF from two to five
minutes an entire or partial absence of
pain results for half minute or
more and during that time the teeth
may be drawn or missions made. The
patient may be in any position but that
recommended is lying on the side, and
it is generally best to throw handker-
chief over the face to prevent distrac-
ton of the patients attention. When
the rapid breathing is first begun the
patient may feel some exhilaration; fol-
lowing this comes sensation of full
ness in the head or dizziness. The face
is at first flushed and afterwards pale or
even blush, the heart beats rather
feebly and fast, but the sense of touch
is not affected, nor is consciousness
lost. The effect is produced in females
more readily than in males and the mid
dle-aged more easily than in the old;
children can scarcely be made to
breathe properly. 1t is denied that
there is any possible danger. Several
minor operations, other than frequent
dental ones, have been successfully
made by this method, and it is claimed
that in dentistry, minor surgery and OBJ
stetrics, it may supplant the common
anesthetics. DR.. Hewson's explana-
ton is that rapid breathing diminishes
the oxygenation of the blood, and that
the resultant excess of carbonic acid
temporarily poisons the nerve centres.
DR.. Bonwill gives several explanations
one being the specific effect Of carbonic
acid, another the diversion of will force
produced by rapid voluntary muscular
action, and the third, the damming up
of the blood in the BRAN, due to the ex-
cessive amount of air passing into the
lungs. The Record is not satisfied with
the theories, but considers it well
proved that pain may be deadened by
the method which it commends to the
profession for exact experimental de:
termination of its precise value.

Malaria In New England,

We have heretofore referred to the
increase of malarial fevers and especial
ly of the form called intermittent fever,
or fever and ague, in New England.
The State Board of Health of Massa-
chusetts has taken hold of the subject
and has already collected q mass of
facts which is astounding and confirms
to the fullest extent the rumors. The
disease, fever and ague, has been in
creasing for three or four years past in
the valley of the Connecticut River and
cases have appeared in every town on
the river from Connecticut to Vermont.
In Agawam, Springfield, Holyoke and
some other towns, the number of cases
this year has been very large, and the
disease each year seems to be increas-
ing and spreading.
But malaria is not limited or con-
trolled by State lines and for COM
plete knowledge of the subject, even in
Massachusetts, their State Board of
health very properly has thought it
necessary to obtain information of the
disease as it exists in the neighboring
States. With this view, an agent Of
the Massachusetts Board, well-skilled
physician, came to Providence yester-
day, and visited the malarial region ia
Darlington and made a thorough inves.
tigation of the subject.
The result, as we learn from an in
terview with this gentleman, is astound-
ing. The disease, as verified bv the
examination of cases now existing, is
genuine intermittent fever, commonly
called fever and ague. Cases now ex-
ist in all its stages, and some with the
characteristic league cake" or enlarged
spleen. Many of the cases have been
very severe. The disease has attacked
all classes of persons living within the
malarial region, and some living at a
considerable distance from the origin of
the malaria. 1t has attacked indiscrim-
inately the old, the middle-aged and
the young. It has attacked residents
and non-residents, new residents and
old residents.
The whole number of cases in the
malarial district during the present
season, say from the 1st of August to
the present time, has been at least 25O.
Of 1876 workmen at the brickyard, 1856
have had the disease. OF this number
lob were sick at one time. At the pres
ent time there are about sixty cases ex-
listing, of which thirty to thirty-ive are
at the brickyard, and the rest are scat
tered through the malarial district.
The gentleman from Massachusetts
VINO has made this investigation thinks
that in this proportion of cases to popu-
lation, and in the severity of the dis
ease, the malaral district in Darlington
is the worst he has visited and worse
than any he has heard of in New En-
gland, almost equalling the ague dis
tricts of the South. The reason WIN
the disease is there this year, where It
never was before. he will not under
take to give.-Providence (R. I. Jour-
nal.

ously Drowned, as if cooked, was found
at Fontainbleau and sent to the Paris
Morgue. It was identified as mummy

Egypt, but he was arrested on suspicion
OF foul play, and had to get the evil
dence of scientists to procure his &C

matter and a clever dramatist worked
the incident into play.

A BALLADLNE.
ehe was the prettiest girl, I ween,

She was the prettiest girl, ween,
That mortal eyes had ever seen;
Her name is Anabel Christine,
Her bangs we're curled with bandoline,
Her cheeks were smoOthed with vaseline,
Her teeth we're brushed with fine dentine,
Her lace was washed in cOaline,
Her gloves were cleaned with gasoline
She wore dress Of grenadine,
LOOped over skirt of brilliantino.
Her petticoat was bombazine,
Her foot was shOd with a kid bOttine,
Her wounds were healed with cOsmOlinO.
She sailed away from Muscatine
In a ship they called brigantine,
She hirted with a gay marine
Till they reached tn Republic Argentine,
Where they were married by the Dean,
And lived on OleOnargarine.

there is now no doubt of Mr.. Jones' appoint

Illinois people at all the hotels
tonight that Jones' appointment Is
assured. The visitor to the FarweiI

opinion. Mr.. Farwell said tonight that lie
was not prepared to give any detailed infor-
