A Case Of Abnormal Growth.

There is living in the city of Erie a
man who is suffering from q disease not
often seen. About eleven years ago
John Reichart was, according to the tes-
timony of those who knew him, hard
working mason, and it was at that time
he met with an accident, apparently
trivial and of no particular consequence,
but which in a short time almost totally
incapacitated him from manual labor.
In the winter Of 1870 he slipped on an
icy pavement and fell, striking on his
right hand. It panied him little at
the time, but he took no notice OF it for
q while, until he saw that his little fin
ger was swelling badly, when he con-
suited physician. But medical treat
ment availed nothing, and the swelling
grew worse and worse untilshe was ad-
vised to have the arm amputated. But
to this he would not consent. The afflc-
ton is characterized by the medical
profession as either hypertrophy, an en-
largement Of the fatty substance, or ex-
ostosis, a morbid enlargement of the
bone. For over eleven years the ab-
normal growth has been slowly but
surely progressing. until to. day his hand
is swollen to the size of q mans head,
while his forearm is as large as q mans
thigh. By actual measurement his little
finger is eight and and one-fourth
inches in circumference, larger than a
wrist. The palm of his hand Is fifteen
inches in circumference and his wrist
eighteen. From the wrist the swelling
extends nearly to the elbow. It is q
sight such as is rarely seen, and. one Of
our city physicians has q photograph o1
it among his cabinet Of medical curiosi'

WHAT THE JEANNETTE ACCOMPLISHED.

So many exploring expeditions in the
Arctic Sea have come to grief, and SO
many lives have been sacrificed in at
tempts to reach the north pole that
people who have heretofore favored the
sending Of expeditions in the interests
of science are beginning to question the
advisability of making any further at
tempt to unravel the mysteries of the
frozen zone. The New York Herald
under whose auspices the recent jean
nette expedition was organized reads
this change in the public opinion and
gives answer to the question "What has
been gained by the Jeannette voyage ?"
as follows: eff it lie, on all occasions
of life as in this, gain to demolish those
hopes which only tend to delusion, " said
Sir John Ross, referring to his own
Arctic expedition of 1929, "the merit of
this result at least belongs to our present
The gallant commander of
the Jeanette may surely say as much
of his voyage. The Jeanette entered
the wholly unknown part of the Arctic
Ocean in which, since 1910, the Russian
had promised compara-
lively fair "polynia" or "open sea !"
route toward the pole, and when Ad-
miral Wrangell contended, against the
opinion of scoresby, that ice could not
be formed far from land. Yet Lieuten-
ant Danenhower states that the ice in
the open ocean was formed each winter
eight feet thick. No doubt the ice far
from land was constantly liable to frac-
ture, upheaval and even trituration; but
it's ceaseless regulation under a cold of
80 degrees minus, and it's terrific crush
ing power when played upon by conflict.
ing polar gales, render navigation in its
vicinity well nigh impossible. i"
It has been the won't of some writer's,
even DR.. Petermann, to recommend
Arctic navigators to boldly push
"through the drift ice." as Sir James
Ross, in 1841, successfully did in the
Antarctic seas. But De Longs enforced
experiment. in this line demonstrates, as
Payers did in 1872, that this is an i'm.
practicable, not to cay frequently fatal
course for any polar expedition. If the
Jeannette's voyage has accomplished
nothing else it's results will serve to dis.

ice sheet, no part Of it's free from ic<

VOLIT1ONAL BEGGARs.

One Of the good results of the new de-
parture in charitable work in large cities
called Organized Charity " is the weed
ing out Of undeserving mendicants who
live on contributions that should be de-
voted to the assistance of the worthy.
In regard to the frauds practiced on the
charitable in large cities, the extent Of
the evil is fully revealed in the case of
Philadelphia in an answer to reporter
by Charles D. Kellogg, general secre-
tary for the Society for Organized
Charity, as follows: "Last winter Mayor
Stokley took a census of this class of our
people for the benefit of the society, and
he found there 1000 persons dependent
upon street begging for support, while
in the house of correction and aims
house there were 600 more seeking food
and shelter during the winter months,
but who would become common beggars
when the warm weather returned. Of
course some of these were forced by Cir
cumstances to beg, but the greater num-
ber did sofrom choice or laziness, which
ever you wish to call it. Business being
better this winter than last, there are
fewer men out of work. Besides this,
the society has cut off the sources of
supply of many mendicants, andas a con-
sequence of these two facts we find the
number Of persons needing relief re-
duced by several hundred. >Nine-tenths
of the street beggars will refuse work if
offered them. Last winter the superin-
tendent of one of the district associations
sent 200 able-bodied men to the wood
yard, and how many of them do you
suppose reported to the manager and
earned their bread by work? Just
thirty; the other ITO preferring to beg
from soft-hearted persons who would
give them food or clothing without in

When the society began it's operations
it found hundreds of families that de-
pended upon soup houses for their food
and the Guardians of the Poor for fuel,
cheating the landlords out OF rent by
moving as often as possible. Neither
the men nor the women would work
when opportunity offered. It is this
kind of. pauperism that the society is
seeking to break up, and already Phila-

How Steel Rails are Made,

The process of making steel rails un-
der the new system is a. follows: The
material is received at the shops in the
shape of Bessemer steel blooms about Z
inches square and long enough to tally
with the required weight of the rails. In
the manufacture of q rail, it's form and
proportion is ascertained to be of more
consequence than the weight, as accord
ing to practical experience an 80-pound
iron rail wears out much faster than q
properly proportioned 60 pound rail, and
the proper weight for q steel rail is
about IS to 64 pounds to the yard. On
some roads in this country, as the Balti-
more and Ohio; railroad, they. run as
high as 81 pounds, and in Europe to 96
pounds to the yard. The first process
in their manufacture consists IN placing
the blooms in furnace, where they are
left until they obtain a. fine mellow red
heat. They are passed Immediately
through . double set Of rough and finish
ing rolls, when the acquire nearly their
necessary shape and consistency, when
they aretiansfe11ed to- abugsy Or move

London Over a Mine.

Geologists believe that coal deposit
exists under London, and one of their
number has suggested that by the e9-
penditure of a few thousand pounds IN
boring the problem might practically be
solved at once. 1t is held that coal e4-
lists there because the coal field. of Bris-
tol is geologically identical with that Of
eastern Belgium and Westphalia, from
which it is reasoned that paleozoic
ridge connected the two districts. al,
ready it has been shown that for 250
miles along the continental end of the
line coal exists, for the coal has been ac'
.tually worked. Traces of it have been
found all along, the Channel and North
Sea coasts from Ostend to Boulogne.
About $50 miles of the mine remain un-
explored, q region which includes Lon
don, and since Londoners annually pay
as. .O0O, 900 for the carriage Of their
fuel, to say nothing Of what they pay tor
the fuel itself, the proposed boring has .
marked economical side.
