SINGULAR DISEASES.
Everyday Affections That Are More
Harmful Than Aphasia or Mirlstchit.

Everyday Affections That Are More
Harmful Than Aphasia or Mirlatchit.
Among the most SINGULAR diseases
which have been developed in modern
times is that of aphasia, in which the
patient loses the memory of certain
words, or rather the power to attach
the proper word to an idea. A victim
of this disease recently lost the ability
to pronounce any word but EYES,
while his brain was as active and clear
as before. He would read the morning
paper, and proceed tomake lively COM
ments on the news to his family, all of
which consisted of the single word.
Eyes" uttered with every variety Of
infection. He, meanwhile, was totally
unaware that he was not speaking
with all his wonted Euency and
force. A cure was effected in this case.
and the mind of the patient was found
to be clear and untouched by this
strange ailment.\
Another remarkable disease is noted
by an American specialist in cerebral
affections. and also by famous Span
ish physician, Armanque Y. Tuset.
Miriatchit is disease which originated
among the prisoners of Eastern Sibe-
ria. The patient is irresistibly impelled
to initiate the words spoken by his
companions; he can, in fact, make no
other sounds than those which he hears.
This disease is chronic and contagious,
and is accompanied by fever, great di-
lation of the pupils of the eyes and in
cessant laughter. and leaves the pa
tient exhausted, the events of the time
in which he has been affected being an
utter blank to him. After the attack
is past. the patient revovers his full
strength of mind. and loses the incli-
nation to initiate like mocking-bird.
Now, the story of these strange
diseases oppresses us like nightmare
horror But is there no more common
place mental ailment which has in it
even deeper loss and tragedy? A young
man, for example gives himself up to
money-making, or a young girl to the
pursuit of fashion. for years, with the
result that they forget, not spoken
words, like the victim of aphasia, but
ideas, principles and feelings. The
soul, dwarfed and shrunken, knows
nothing of the wise, noble life once
possible to it, but goes about like an
imbecile, crying out: "Dress! dress'
or Money! money! Or, the lad or
girl, just setting out in life, afraid to act
from the law of common-sense and
conscience within, becomes silly
imitator of others, and receives
from some one whom he or she re-
CARDS as social power, ideas of duty,
or manners, even of religion. These
weak creatures do not, like the Siberian
airiatsha, echo the words only of their
companions, but their thoughts and
actions, and so become, in brain and
soul, base copies of poor originals.
When these singular neural diseases
are cured, the brain, we are told. is un-
impaired. But for the commoner all
ments we have described, there is no
cure. They attack the soul itself-the
seat of life. Their work is not for this
world only, but for eternity. Youth g

ARTIFICIAL ICE.


The Most Emclent Apparatus for Its
Manufacture.
A strong galvanized wrought-iron
boiler, capable of sustaining pressure
of eight or ten atmospheres, is con-
nected by tube with freezer, also
made of galvanized iron and of corre-
spending strength, consisting of two
compartments, an outer annular one,
connected with the boiler, and an inner
one for receiving the vessel which con-
tains the water or liquid to be frozen.
The connection between the boiler and
freezer may be controlled either by
stop-cocks or by self-acting valves. A
saturated solution of ammonia is intro
duced into the boiler, and the freezer is
placed in cold bath. Heat sufficient
to produce pressure of five or six at
mospheres is applied to the boiler,
which expels the gas from the water in
which it is dissolved, and forces it into
the annular compartment Of the freezer.
where it is condensed by its own pres
sure, aided by the cool bath, along with
about one-tenth its weight of water.
When sufficient ammonia has been con-
densed, which is shown by the pressure
indicated by gauge, or approximately
by thermometer, the boiler itself is
placed in cold bath; the cylinder con-
tanning the water to be frozen is placed
in the inner compartment of the freezer,
and to insure contact the interstice is
filled with alcohol. As the boiler cools
the pressure which had been produced
by heat is gradually removed, and the
liquid ammonia in the freezer becomes
vaporized, producing an intense degree
of cold. In a little more than an hour
block of ice may be frozen. An ap-
paratus in use is said to be capable OF
producing eight hundred pounds Of ice
an hour. Toledo Blade.

Brutal Murder

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Dec. ga cold.
blooded murder was perpetrated last night
near Newtown. William Warner, young
man well-known in this city, has of late
been quite intimate with Mrs. Mary Lynch,
young married woman who formerly re-.
sided here with her husband. A few weeks
ago Mrs. Lynch left her home and went to
her mothers, near Newtown. Last even
ing Warner called to see her and, as near as
can be learned, they quarrelled, and during
the quarrel Warner drew pistol and shot
Mrs. Lynch through the heart. The unfor.
tunate woman fell face downward to the
floor dead. Warner asked her mother if
she thought Mary was dead, and at the
same instant sent another bullet through
her back between the shoulders. The MUIR
Gerer then left the house, and has not bee IN
CnDtured
