THINGS or CURRENT INTEREST.
Dr. Rush and the Temperance RsfOr-
nation.


The first century Of temperance effort in
this country has ended, and many large and
enthusiastic meetings have recently been
held TO commemorate the event. One hum
dred years ago the present autumn, DIR. Ben
jamin Rush, Of the city of Philadelphia,
wrote and published an essay bearing the
title 'An Inquiry into the Effects Of Ardent
Spirits upon the Human Mind and Body,
with the Means Of Preventing and the Rene.
dies for Curing them." That essay was the
Arst noteworthy attempt made 10 awaken
public attention TO the evils Of intemperanoe,
Of which we have record and, although
little was accomplished In the way OF success
for nearly fifty years thereafter, and although
less has yet been accomplished than was
hoped for by advocates Of the cause, great
good has been done, nevertheless and while
hoping for and expecting greater success In
the future, we delight to honor the name OF
the man who set the temperance ball in motion.
Believing that some readers OF The Ph@niX
may wish TO learn more concerning DR.. Rush
than they can learn from sources 10 which
they have easy access, pen few items In
his history, for which am indebted chiefly
10 Thatcher's American Medical Biography,
published in 1928.
Benjamin Rush, N. D., was born near
Philadelphia, Dec. 1745, and died in that city
in April, 1918. DR.. Rush was man OF small
stature, but OF . strong and vigorous mind.
He received his classical education ct Prince
ton College, and studied medicine In Phila-
delphia, London, Edinburgh and Paris. In
1863 he was made professor Of chemistry In
the Philadelphia Medical College, and soon
rose TO distinction in bis chosen profession,
becoming at the same time o frequent con-
tributor to the medical literature of the day.
During the eventful period Of his life DR..
Rush occupied the distinguished considera-
tion Of his countrymen as one Of the patriots
Of the American Revolution, as philanthro-
pist, and as an exemplary Christian; elected
q member Of the Continental Congress, he ad-
vocated and signed the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. In 1777 he was appointed Sur
geon General and Physician General OF the
Continental Army. In 1885 he planned the
Philadelphia Dispensary, the hrst institution
of that kind in the United States, and was q
member of the state convention which ratified
the F., ,deral Constitution. Retiring from pol
itics, he became Professor of the Theory and
Practice Of Medicine in Philadelphia Medical
College, and in 1779 he was appointed
Treasurer Of the United States mint, which
Office he held until his death.
DR.. Rush was q voluminous writer, no less
than sixty books, some OF them volumes Of
considerable size, having been written by
him. As q physician, he stood at the head
of the profession in this country for many
years, and 30 successful was be in the treat
ment of diseases, that during the prevs-
lence Of yellow fever in Philadelphia in 1898,
he was believed 10 have saved the lives Of
six thousand persons. J. H. STEDMAN.

Petroleun, a FueI.

The use OF petroleum refuse as fuel began
at Baku, where enormous quantities Of the
crude oil had been suffered to run to waste
for years before this mode Of utilizing IL was
discovered. As the refuse, called astatka
there, costs only 60 cents q ton on the spot,
and as one ton Of 1t is equal TO a ton and q
half Of coal for making steam, 1t rapidly came
into favor after mechanical skill had devised
proper methods Of applying it. At the pres
ent time the single firm Of Nobel Brothers,
at Baku, turns out 400, 600 tons q year. and
all the steam marine of the Caspian, together
with the locomotives Of the Transcaucasian
railway system and several Of the railways of
Southeastern Russia, burn It alone. In Rp-
plying the oil 1t is pulverized by a jet Of
steam In very simple way, and by this pro-
cess the combustion Is perfect. There Is no
smoke, no SCOT, no clinker, no residue what
ever, and no waste. The fame is entirely
under control, can be raised or lowered in
stantly, and as instantly extinguished. Wher-
ever coal is scarce and dear the astatka fur
nishes an ideal fuel, and while the flashing
test Is much lower than that OF refined petro-
leum, experience shows that II can be han
died without any danger. On the Oapsian
large steamers fully laden with oil have burn
cd this fuel for ten years without O single ac-
cident.
The Russian experiment has now been
transferred TO California, where the Central
Pacific railroad company has recently intro
duced crude petroleum into nearly all its
steamers, including the Oakland ferry boats
The oil Is obtained In the state, some of it at
Ventura, and some from wells not long used
near Liyermore, on the line of the Western
Pacific branch. The method of application
is practically identical with the Russian
namely, by q steam jet. The nozzle is fiat
tened so that the pulverized oil is blown In
sheet Of fame into the FIRE box and under the
boiler tubes. The San Francisco Chronicle
states that the results 30 far have been most
satisfactory. On the freight steamer Thor
oughfare ''the cost Of oil as fuel was found
to be "A per cent less for the first five months
than for the corresponding period year ago."
On the great transfer steamer Solano the saw
ing has been less hitherto; but as the oil
costs 81 for 100 gallons as against 81 ton
for coal, and as 100 gallons of oil make as
much steam as one ton of coal, the general
average Of economy Is obviously high. 1t is
already demonstrated in fact by these sue
cessful tests that no region which possesses
petroleum, or can obtain it economically,
need be dependent upon coal for fuel for
manufacturing and transportation, and It is
equally certain that eventually the refuse oil
will be utilized for household fuel, as has al
ready been done in some parts of Russia.

Deacon Kittredge wiped his forehead. In
q confusing rush Of thoughts the only clear
one was that he would not buy that work on
heredity.
Mrs. Kittredge suddenly broke down CON-
pleteiy. "If I'd never touched that letter
and could have things as they we're, would
be willing 10 swallow even such bitter pill
as Tidy 5locomb," she sobbed. Then she
orept of 10 bed, and forgot In few hours
troubled sleep tho dismal morrow whom oil
the world would see their fall.
All night long the deacon paced the sitting
room floor. His wife found him there when
she oame down In the cheerless morning. and
they looked in each others faces in dumb
misery, each with the same thought-by this
time everybody In West Eden might have
heard the story and seen the torn letter.

she exclaimed; ''trampin's In the house all

why folks should want 10 stick letter under
the wood-shed door, when we've got q whole
post office 10 the front one, is more'n

Mrs Kittredge's trembling hand snatched
the letter which Huldah produced. II might
be-no, It was not Tidy Slocomb's letter. 1t
was addressed, In pencil, to Mrs. Kittredge

When all young Rnd happy hearted,
Round the dear old school-room fender,

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9,-John Nc
Cullough, the actor, died at five
minutes past | o'clock at his residence,
26l East Thompson street. He pass
ed away without struggle, and did
not even utter a groan.
He had been brough here from the
New York asylum couple of weeks
ago. His improvement the past few
days had been so marked that his
death has caused considerable sur
prise. His physicians had given his
family and friends reason to hope for
his final recovery, and that he would
return to the stage. Mccullough
leaves widow, two sons and one
daughter.
His failing mental powers were
first apparent in January, 1884, and
in April of that year he failed alto
gether in "Othello" in Washington.
His ailment manifested itself thence
forth in the loss of memory. At
times the prompter had to follow
him about the stage. lie went to
Carlsbad last summer and returned
in August. He played five nights
engagement in Milwaukee and from
there went to Chicago.
His last appearance on the stage
was in that city. On the night Sept.
80, 1884, while performing as Spar
tacus in "The Gladiator" his condi-
ton was so bad that the curtain was
dropped al the end of the second act
He was painfully incoherent and
wandering, and his attempts to col
lect himself was most painful. He
gradually grew worse until the pres
ent, occasionally improving a little,
but his friends always believed there
could be no complete recovery.
Mccullough was born in Cole
raine, county Antrim, Ireland, Nov. IL,
1888, being almost tifty-two years of
age. He came to America in 1916.
