Naphtha as Locomotive Fuel.

The following interesting results of late experiments carried out on the Transcaspian railway on the compara- tive cost, etc., of naphtha and wood as fuel have been published. Engines burning wood consumed in one year 11,286.75 cubic sajeens (cubic sajeen equals SIS cubic feet, at cost of 20 rubles per sajeen, giving total cost of R.225, 73S cop. 1S. During similar period the consumption of naphtha was 1,429, ,025 puds (pud equals 36 pounds), which at 2 cOpecks per pud gives R.100,031 cop. 75. The distances traversed respectfully by the wood and naphtha consuming engines were 1, 146,- 529 versts and .2,244, 981 versts. Thus the consumption of wood per 100 versts was 0.9 cubic sajeens, costing R.18; while that of naphtha for the same dis tance was 64.04 puds, costing R.4 cop. 57. In other words, naphtha as fuel is about four times as cheap as wood N. 7. Telegram.

Its medicinal qualities are very numerous; for burns it is a quirk application and gives immediate relief; for blisters on the hands it is of price, less value, soaring down the skin and preventing soreness; for corns on the toes it is useful, and good for rheuma- tism and sore throats, and it is the quickest remedy for convulsions or fits.

BRIGHT'S DISEASE.
The Durability of This Painful and Dan.
 gerous Disease.

1 The Durability of This Painful and Dan. gerous Disease.
 The prevalent notion that consump. ton is necessarily fatal has cost tens of thousands of lives, partly through it's depressing influence on the mind, and partly through the consequent neglect of the means essential to cure. We have before incidentally spoken of it's durability. Its importance justifies a fuller reference to it. Dr. Austin Flint is one of the brightest medical authori- ties in America. A paper on this sub ject was lately read by him before the New York County Medical Association, on which other leading members freely expressed their views. He said 1t was prevalent notion that the disease was equivalent to a sentence of death by local tribunal. On the contrary, its progress might be arrested entirely; or be so slow that the patient might be comparatively free from danger; or it might continue indefinitely in about the same state, and so, under favorable circumstances, not prove fatal. If the kidneys were not damaged to an extent beyond ome-half and the other organs were in good con- dition, so as to supply the lack of the former, the person might continue to live in fair state of health, provided he observed the laws of health in gen. eral. The object of treatment, in his view, was to prevent the further prog. ress of the disease and to maintain favor. able accessory conditions. Hence an early diagnosis is important. When the water is right in quantity and specific gravity, medicines to increase it or to promote the action of the skin, etc., only do harm. But even if the kidneys prove insufficient for their proper work of elimination, vicarious elimination--elim- ination by other organs-may take place. Even coma Qethargy) due to urea in the blood may be recovered from.
 In the discussion of the paper, all the speakers indorsed the views of Dr. Flint, and gave signal instances in illustration from their own practice. Dr. George strongly, that the disease might con- tinue indefinite without causing serious trouble in those whose condition in life was such that no stress was laid on any particular organ by their mode of liv- ing, and who could have all necessary care. Dr. Edward G. Janeway men, toned three cases in which the disease had lasted in one case five years, in the second eleven, in the third seventeen. When the last case came under his charge, five years ago, the prospect was very dark, but the patient had now, to a great extent, recovered. Dr. c. $. Wood gave the case of one sixty years old, who was apparently now as we'll as ever, though he had the disease at least four years. Dr. Quackenboss spoke of one, perfectly well now, who, when he first saw her, ten years ago, was so bloated that she looked like piece of Youth'S Con1pGnton.

THE CHANGE.

There was man of knowledge deep, and noble sweep, who knew & heap; man who studied day and night, and hardly spared the time to sleep.
 This man so staid he knew a maid, demure, afraid, and half dismayed, shy as the nymph of ancient myths sequestered in some sylvan shade.
 This maid so rare with golden hair, and mod est air, so debonaire, she charmed this man of learned lore and caught him in her witching snare.
 This man of thought and learned lore, his hair he tore, and OCT and OCT he loudly swore that he would cherish her for aye, and he would love her evermore. Now they are wed, in his library hooks among his books his knees he crooks, and sees his wife so seldom now that he's forgot ten how she looks.
 The wife to whom the man before so loudly swore he would adore, fOrevermore, lives with her mother, and declares her husband is regular bore.

 ''The air can be easily examined for bac teria. Cut clean potato in half and ex- pose it to the atmosphere for few hours.

You. can see that by the colors, white, brown, yellow and so on. Plates of gelan- tine exposed develop bacteria in the same way.

ABOUT BACTERIA.
Dr. Formad's Lecture on Germs at
 the Franklin Institute.
Bacteria as Means of Determining I'm purities in Water-A Display of BaciIIi Eating Chicken Stew
 and GeIatine.

Prof. Henry F. Formad, oi the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, in his lecture last evening at the Franklin Institute on "Germs and Their Influence on Health, :" developed an entirely new system of water analysis by which the precise nature of organic impurities can be determined The plan is the capture of bacilli in water. After they have been secured their nature is ascertained by color, form and other characteristics. Then the analyst deter mines what species of organic impurity those particular bacilli live on and the presence of the organic impurity that the bacilli affect is thus deduced.
 On this plan Prof. Formad has lately been analyzing the water of the Schuylkill River, and he says that his results are per fectly satisfactory. The lecturer last even- ing had before him dozen finger glasses on which there were exposed potatoes sliced in half. On the flat sides of the half po- tatoes were patches ofbacili and bacteria. They look like daubs of paint. The colors were fine browns, reds, handsome yellows and pure whites. There were, too, a few jars containing the bacteria of lung and other diseases. Pots of gelatine crowded with invisible microbes and test tubes full of the spores of germs that appear in chol- era and other complaints were also shown. The lecturer said:

The cause of cholera is ptomain, 8 substance in the nature of a cadaver poison. It is eminently filth disease, and it is distributable through the medium of drinking water, its chief means of getting into the body being by the alimentary canal. If one case appeared in Manayunk it is likely that the whole city would suffer through its water supply. In pure water we have few or no bacteria. The test for bacteria is test for organic substances. Water put on a potato to develop bacteria should contain organic matter. The quan- tity and variety of bacteria found in water will indicate what quantity and kind of or ganic substances there are in it. The bac- teria are there because there is some- thing impure for them to live upon. Bac- teria are harmless. I've swallowed many of them. They are first-class food.
