At q recent meeting Of the Society
of Physicians of the Charity Hospital
in Berlin, Thomson exhibited o patient
whose case he described as one of ''rail-
way BRAIN" neurosis resembling in
many respects the condition already
well known under the name Of rail
way spine" A healthy railway en-
ploye. aged 80 years. without history of
alcoholism, Or of any predisposing neu-
rotic condition. by the sudden motion

against the side of car. striking his
head. He sustained no wound. and Mt
the time of injury consciousness was
preserved. Some hours afterward.
however, he was suddenly seized with
syncope, with mental terror. lost all
sense of location, could not recognize
the simplest familiar object. and de-
scribed what he saw enormously; his
one objective symptom was absolute
anethesia of the entire body. On the
fourth day after his injury he had vio-
lent headaches. pulse rate of A, and.
In addition to the cutaneous anBthesia.

with difficult hearing. On the fifth day
the psychic symptoms suddenly ceased.
he could remember nothing which had
happened and had no explanation for
his condition.
The patient subsequently became
very melancholic. complaining of inso-
mania, headache, spinal pain, weari-
ness and failure Of appetite; no sensa-
tions of terror or disordered dreams
were present The objective symptoms
remaining were well marked cranical
and spinal hyperethesia, failure to dis
tinguish between white and colors, loss
of smell and taste and impaired hear

and spasms of the region supplied by
the facial nerve were also present He

unable to work on account of headache
and weakness. Thomsen's diagnosis
was railway BRAIN" a condition Of
profound disturbance Of cerebral func-
tions from shock.
The increase in mechanical appli-
ances and the immense extension of
railways afford abundant opportunities
for observation of nervous shock. both
in its fatal and milder forms. While
post mortem demonstrations of hemor-
rlage and structural LESSONS explain
the course of these cases, when fatal,
1t is evident that we must rely upon
the continued observation of surviving
patients to determine the development
of LESSONS which will illustrate the
pathology of this condition. The pos
sibility of the production of degenera-
tive changes in nervous matter and cer-
ebral conditions causing permanent
menatl impairment is an interesting
question for neurologists. and, in its
medical-legal aspect, for tho corpora
ton whose property may cause such
injuries to their patrons and employees.

The three leading luxuries OF modern
railroad travel are, as everybody knows,
sleeping cars, dining cars and reclining
chair cars, s,and as these three luxuries we're,
each in their turn, first brought into use by
the Chicago and Alton Railroad, It Is only
natural that tina public should expect the
Chicago and Alton to be the irst line to
include in its vestibule trains, now run
ming between Kansas City and Chicago, all
of these comforts. The travelling public,
which has always looked to the Chicago
and Alton for the adoption and introduc.
ton of every new device which can in any
way add to It's comfort, is not to be disap-
pointed now, as will be seen by the an.

The Secret of the Kaiser's Lon
gevity.

The Secret of the Kaiser's Lon
gevity.
The comparatively robust health Of
the venerable Emperor of Germany. in
spite of family trouble and official care,
has given rise to a legend which. it is
stated, is obtaining credence among
the superstitious peasantry of certain
Bavarian villages. According to this
legend the long life of Kaiser Wilhelm
is due to mysterious philter. of which
his Imperial Majesty alone possesses
the secret How the Emperor obtained
the magic beverage is not known. 1t
is described as kind Of spirit which.
If it does not give him Immortality.
will enable him to live many years
moro. and to supply him with sufficient
bodily and mental power to retain the
government of his vast empire in his
own hand. The legend furthermore
states that the German sovereign has
condescended to make present of a
few drops of the charmed liquid to Mar
shal Moltke and Prince Bismarck,
hence also their respectable age; but
strange to say. he declines to give any
of it to the Crown Prince. because he
fears his heir would make use of his
health, restored by the philter. to force
him to nbdicate. Several crowned
heads have. it appears. applied to the
Emperor for his wonderful secret but
in vain. The Gar. in particular, pray
ed for some of the spirit, and it was the
refusal of the Kaiser to oblige him
which was the real cause of the present
conflict between Russia and Germany.

reason of this is very simple. 1t has been
found that it does not pay to build big

De1nerara News.
From the ArgOSy q Oct.)

vi l. IVA ChAN wv ~
an appalling accident occurred i'll the r.
yer, clearly traceable to the reckleSSneSs
of two men who are now in the custody OF
the police. A party Of 20 East Indian
immigrants, men women and children
newly arrived from Grenada, we're on one
of the Stellings in CharleStOwn looking
out for a bateau in which TO cross to Pin.
Versailles where they had reason to believe
they would find a hOme and occupation.
AS they all wished to go together, and as
they had a large quantity of luggage with
them, they found some difficulty in get
ting a bateau large enough to carry all.
Living at one of the StellingS was a bateau
belonging to a man who had gone to sec
the races, and who had given stringent
orders to the two men with whom he lett
his craft in charge not to use 1t Tor any
purpose whatever. These two men saw
the coolies and thought that a good oppOr-
tunity was presenting itself by which they
could make some money so they bargain
ed with the party and packed them, bag
gage and all, into the bateau, loading it
down to the gunwale. Another passenger
presenting himself as an applicant for a
passage they took him in without demur.
Pushing off from the Stelling, with a ia
vourable breeze they were SOOn carried
across the greater part Of the river, but
when they were nearing POuderOyen a
gust of wind, a little stronger than what
they had been favOured with, struck the
craft, and caused it to Careen the very
slight degree that was needed to send the
gunwale under water. In u moment the
thirty-three occupants we've struggling
for their lives, and uttering piercing
shrieks for assistance, which were heard
by some boatmen at Poud erOyen who
at once put off to the rescue and
through their brave eXertjonS, saved
twenty-five Of the number from the
laws of death. The boat hands were
amongst the saved, and shortly after they
were landed they were taken in charge by
the police. The distress Of those who
were saved is beyond description. One
woman had lost husband and child others
had lost father or brother each had lost
some friend and all had lost the total
sum of their earthly possessions. 1t was a
terrible homecoming TO these poor stran-
gers who had arrived here, full Of plea
SAINT expectations. The rescued people
were treated in the kindeSt manner by the
inhabitants of POudeloyen, and subSe-
quently they were removed to VerSdj lies
where all that could be done tor them was
attended to. One of the children died on
the following day, and an inquest was
opened by MIR. Cunningham, the district
magistrate, in the course Of which Mr..
bingham, Harbour Master, testified that
the bateau into which 80 souls, besides
cargo, were packed, was capable Of carry
ing safely only II passengers and 10
pounds of luggage. A verdict OF man
slaughter was recorded against the cap
tain of the bateau, and the jury expressed
a hope that the Government would eXer-
else some control over this dangerous ri.
yer traffic.
In the one passenger referred to above
who did not belong to the Grenada party
and who was not amongst the saved, we
