Tracheotomy on a Horse.

IFTOm a CINCINNATI Special
There is a curiosity IN horsef1esh at
a livery stable in this city. II is VIII
Heath, the famous trotting horse,
which breathes through a tube insert
ed in the windpipe. Some time ago
the horse was afflicted with influenza.
He was in Texas and caught cold,
which resulted in contraction OF the
muscles OF the larnyx. The animal
became wind broken and was compar-
atively useless for racing purposes.
He had q record for a mile OF 2.21 4,
and his Owner had won large sums.
viii Heath was brought here several
weeks ago, and DR.. Anderson, veter-
mary surgeon, expressed the opinion
that he could cure him. The owner
was afraid to allow the operation un-
I'll Anderson had expeIimented on an
old, wind-broken horse of no value. A
small slit two inches in length was cut
in the throat and a silver tube insert
ed. The black horse got better lmme-
diately, and then the operation was
tried on VIII Heath with perfect sue
cess. Tracheotomy Is often resorted
TO in surgery, especially with children
suffering from diphtheria.
After the operation thehorse became
easier and breathed freely through the
silver tube, through which the air
comes out with tremendous force. Il

AMERICA AND SPAIN.
"A Difference of Opinion Between the
Nations on the Treaty.


A London special OF the 18th says:
The reports which come from Madrid
concerning the commercial treaty with
the United States indicate that q seri-
Gus hitch has occurred. There is an
acute difference with the American
government on the shipping clause.
The text OF this clause reads that the
products and 'proceedencias things
proceeding from OF the United
States can enter Cuba IN Amer
lean bottoms under the third
column Of the customs tariff.
The American government contends
that theterm 'proceedencias includes
foreign goods shipped from the United
States TO Cuba. The definition in
sisted on by the Spanish government
declares that only American products
proceeding direct from the United
States and not indirect shipments are
given advantages under the treaty.
The Spanish traders are greatly ex-
cited over the misunderstanding, and
declare that If the Interpretation OF
the phrase contended for by the
American government is admitted. it
would destroy the last remnant of the
preference which is left TO Spanish
shipping.

How Bohemian Glass is Colored,

From the Popular Science Monthly.l
The ornamentatlon OF the glass Is
done partly IN connecting with the ex-
posure IN the furnace and partly in
the finishing shops, where the work is
completed by cutting, polishing,
furnishing, etching, painting and
mounting IN metal. The glasshouses
have at their command a very COM
plete color scale for transparent,
opaque and clouded glasses. But it
must not be supposed that crucible
is placed in the furnace for each color,
from which glass colored for each orna-
ment is to be made. The colors are
worked out by means OF what are
called pastes, which are kept on hand
in sticks or cakes. From pieces OF
these pastes, previously warmed till
they are soft, suitable quantities are
cut of, laid upon the foundation Of
white or colored glass, and then spread
out by drawing or blowing. By this
means only Is an economical use
such costly materials as gold and sill
yer compositions possible. Some Of
the glasses thus treated-gold, copper
and silver glasses-remain still little,
or not at all, colored after the melting,
shaping and thick cooling, and do not
take on their bright hues until they
are reheated. This Is the case with
the new yellow-silyer glass, which con-
tinues uncolored after the inter
melting OF the silver salt until it is ex-
posed in the furnace again. Very fine
effects are produced by blending or
overrunning OF paste-colors, provided
proper attention is given to the laws
OF harmony. A blue glass cup is, for
example, overlaid with silver glass at
its upper edge, and this is drawn down
in gradually thinner tones till it fades
away at the foot OF the vase. Gold
and copper ruby-eolors are thus COM
bined with green glasses, etc. Anoth-
er brilliant effect is produced when a
still hot bulb Of glass is rolled in finely
pulverized aventurine glass, and after
this is melted, and previous to the
shaping Of the vessel, is overlaid with
a coating OF either colored or colorless

he, "that the Book OF Mormon teaches
that the American Indians, therein
termed Lamanites, are the descend
ants OF the lost tribes OF Israel, and
that while il is the duty OF the church

" act. Joint action Of the legations
and oonsulates is desirable" Minis

fact TO the British minister, Mr.. Walls

nation from tbs British consul. Mr.
Derby and the other ministers pre-
sented the matter to the Chinese for
eign Office, stating that the obstruc-
tions, which were q serious detriment
to commerce and no use as means OF
defense, could be removed at a cost OF
81 600. Mr.. Derby, in his protest,
says: cit can not be conceded that,
under the treaties, any country has
the right TO destroy access TO its
ports" Notwithstanding these pro-
tests, Mr. Derby says, the Tamen

its suicidal policy.

Steam Gauges Should be Tested.


There is a tendency on the part OF
engineers to trust too implicitly IN
their steam gauges. These are usual
ly the only and last resort for de-
termining the steam pressure under
which the boiler may be working.
But the best gauges are liable to err,
and after long use to require readlust-
ment. It is fortunate that the error
is usually on the safe side OF indicating
more than the actual pressure. But
there is danger In even this, for the
careless engineer, after finding out
that his gauge marks too high, lg apt
TO disregard it entirely, and not know
how much too high it indicates. The
steam gauge should be periodically ex-
amined, tested and adjusted, and that,
too, by a gauge that is known TO be
correct, or, what is better still, by a
mercury column that cannot go wrong,
The reason why the gauge is usually
neglected is probably the fact that its
working parts are so entirely lnc!osed
that they remain somewhat OF a mys-
terry to the man whose movements
they regulate.

LCMBER MILL BURNED.
The Mil of the Chippewa Lumber and
Boom Company DESTROYED.


AT O'Clock on the morning of the
10th, lightning struck the big mill
owned and operated by the Chip
pewa Lumber and Boom Company,
at Chippewa Falls. In almost a
moment the entire building, 190x90
feet, was one mass OF flames, and
within an hour what was the largest
sawmill under one roof was only a
mass of charred and burned ruins.
This institution was originally built
IN 1889 and with its growth to its
mammoth size is identified with the
history OF the Chippewa Valley. 1t
passed into the hands OF the present
management in April, 1881, since
which time 1t has been run to its ut
most capacity until this year. Owing
TO the large surplus of lumber it has
been run only during the day. The
mill company furnished employment
to about 1,20O men IN the yards and
the mill, and at present has $50 men
at work IN the mill. Its annual csr
pacity was the enormous amount OF
65, 100000 feet OF lumber, 16, 900, 900
lath and 100000 shingles, and
from l, 500 to 1900 horsepower was
required to operate the saws and ma
chinery. This Is only about 20 per
cent. OF the water power available, as
there is q 24-foot head of water
at this point and the lowest es-
innate OF the available horse
power is $4,000. Thetotal amount OF
lumber cut this season upto September
l was %, ,516, 5S6 feet, or at the rate
OF 100000 feet per day. The building
was one OF three stories, the first being
used for the purpose OF rafting the
lumber, the second as storeroom,
and the third-the principal one-the
machinery and workroom. The value
OF the machinery is placed at $780,
600, and consisted OF five gangs of 100
saws, five rotaries and one band saw
(the only one in operation in the val
ley), one double-block shingle mill,
three lath mills and two picket mills
The total loss is put at S25O,O0O, with
S46,700 insurance. The loss TO the
workingmen and the city is incal-
culable, as in great measure the mer-
camille interests OF the city are iden-
titled with the mill. As soon as it is
possible to remove the debris, the
work Of rebuilding viii commence, and
the new mill be ready for active work
in the spring OF 1887.

and 80 were severely injured, and 100
slightly injured during the panic.
