Brain Versus gody.

Washington Special to Milwaukee
Sentinel:-There Is in Washington at
the present time a remarkable invalid
who, although partially paralyzed and
not able to move one inch to the RIGHT
or left in his reclining position in an In
Vaild chair, Is yet able to maintain 4
very vigorous fight with the Bureau of
Construction IN the Navy Department.
Capt. n. b. Clark, is a living witness
OF what man can endure and vet find
= reasonable amount of contentment in
lie. lie IS an officer on the retired list
OF the navy and an inventor Of great
improvements in armors and coast de-
lenses. During the war he was severely
injured by the explosion of a shell in
the water underneath him, so that he
was disabled. From this injury he was
slowly recovering, when he was thrown
down an embankment in a railroad ac-
cident in Virginia. La this his spine
was so injured that he has never been
able since to move his legs and can only
move his arms in the most limited way
He cannot feed himself. He cannot
write, nor can he draw line. He
cannot even raise his head Yet, in
spite of his many injuries, his mind re-
mains clear. He is able to dictate to
his secretary just what he wants, and,
with the aid OF draughtsman, he has
gone on ingenting armor and guns
until he has acquired very high stand
ing rs an inventor both in this country
and Europe. His latest invention is a
convex armor for the protection of
monitors. This has been approved by
the national commissions of both houses
and the last Congress appropriated
money for the employment of this
arlnor. The Bureau of Construction
looks with great jealousy upon any in
yentlons coming from any officers not
inside of the naval ring. They have
put all the obstacles they can in the way
OF carrying out the provisions Of Con-
gress. Secretary Chandler, however,
sees that the inventor has fair play.
Tonight the Captain dictated long
argument, which was submitted this
evening at the Naval Department be-
fore selected board of naval experts.
Capt. Clark is a man of the most ex-
traordinary courage. Stricken as he is,
most men would not care to live, but he
he is always cheerful and ALWAYS in the
best of spirits. His wife is his great
ally. With her energetic help he has
been able to travel about from place TO
place where his business carries him.
When he is alone he rests his hands to-
gether and gazes upward, lost in the
mazes of an inventor thought, without
a cloud upon his face at his being held
by the chains of a physical death AS
an officer during the war, he certainly
deserves any success he may now ac-
complish.

The Great Kanawha Coal Fields.

The coal resources of the great Kan
awha valley are rapidly developing. 1t
is now confidently believed that before
many years it will be the great coal
field of the republic. The different
strata of coal show eighty-nine feet
above water level, and 10 feet beneath
the surface. There is six-foot vein of
semi-anthraeite, making ninety-fve feet
of coal strata in all. Prof Anstead, of
London, who visited the section few
years ago, in report to the London
Geological Society, stated that the
Kanawha valley was the richest coal
field that had yet been discovered upon
the globe.

The Eminent Doctor Decided TT.

Ayoung blood who is about to enter
into the holy estate of matrimony goes
to seek the advice of an old friend, his
family doctor. "The girl, you see, !"

she Las rich uncle with the heart

Grinding Corn.

The Germantown Telegraph thinks
the new method of grinding corn will,
in time, supersede the old-fashioned
millstones, as it is claimed to possess
many advantages over them. The grain
passes over series of cylinders pro-
vided with fine steel pivots revolving
rapidly against fixed knives, each set
finer than the one preceding. The meal
thus made is exceedingly fine, and it is
claimed there is a saving of one-half in
power, and the machinery is less ex-
pensive than burr-stones.

New Names.

According to the newly-revised phar-
macopaia, quinine must no longer be
called quinia, its recent Latin name, but
quinina. The word hydrate in choral
hydrate has been knocked off, and other
alterations made. But for what possible
reason have the committee revised out
of existence their English synonym
hcorice and substituted that awful word
of doctors Latin" glycyrrhiza? Such
a change, if enforced, would ruin half
the confectionery shops in the land.
Imagine any possible small boy asking
for cents worth of glycyrrhizal
