Prof. Bolton expresses the opinion
that the browning glory of modern
chemistry is the power of producing,
in the laboratory, from inorganic mat
ter, substances identical with those ex-
listing in the vegetable and animal
kingdoms-it being known now that
the same chemical laws rule animate
and inanimate nature, and that any
definite compound produced in the
former can be prepared by synthesis as
soon as its chemical constitution has
been made out.
In San Francisco there are four
Journals regularly published in Chinese
characters. These appear weekly, and
have circulation of $500 copies. Ac-
cording to the Chinese method a good
printer can print four hundred sheets
day. Five days work are required
to get out any edition of one thousand
copies. The journals are printed with
ink upon single sheets of white paper,
except on the Chinese New Year, when
the printing is done with red ink or
upon red paper.
I'll see that old Rumblossom fell off
the ferry boat last night half a mile
from shore and got to land all right.
How did that happen? He can't swim
stroke" mo; but when he fell in he
got mouthful of the stuff. and he
tasted it and knew it was water; it dis
gusted him SO that he got right up and
walked along the bottom of the river
till he reached shore. He says you
couldn't have kept him in that stuff
five minutes if you had tied anchors to
both feet "-Burdette.
An appearance as of being hol-
lowed out has been remarked in the
surface of the hard, green sandstone
rocks, near Lima, Peru, and was
ascribed by Sir Charles Lyell to the re-
suit of water action on ancient and
subsequently elevated sea beaches.
Mr.. Nation, of Lima, however, who has
been observing the rocks for twenty
five years, is satisfied that the hollows
are increasing in size and in number.
He believes that they are the work of
cryptogamic plant, a ichen, which is
in active vegetation during the foggy
season, the swelling of whose cells
causes a scaling of the rock.

"RAlLWAY BRAIN"
A Newly discovered Affection of Railroad
Employees.

Employees.
At a recent meeting Of the Society
of Physicians of the Charlie Hospital
in Berlin, Thomson exhibited a patient
whose case he described as one of
railway BRAIN" neurosis resem-
bling in many respects the condition
already well known under the name
of railway spine" A healthy rail-
way employee, aged thirty, without
history of alcoholism, or of any predis-
posing neurotic condition, by the sud-
den motion of his train WAS thrown
violently against the side of a car,
striking his head. He sustained no
wound, and at the time of injury con-
seriousness was preserved. Some
hours afterwards, however, he was
suddenly seized with syncope, with
mental terror, lost all sense of loca-
ton, could not recognize the simplest
familiar object, and described what he
saw enormously; his one objective
symptom was absolute an@sthe-
STA of the entire body.
On the fourth day after his
injury he had violent headaches, a
pulse rate of forty-four, AMI in addition
to the cutaneous a &c thesia, loss of OIL
factory and taste sensations, with diff
cult 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 in
somnia, headache, spinal pain, weari-
ness and failure of appetite; no sensa-
tions of terror or disordered dreams
were present. The objective symp-
toms remaining were well-marked
cranial and spinal hyper@sthesia; fail
ure to distinguish between white and
colors; loss of smell and taste, and i'm.
paired hearing; numbness. and at
times paresis and spasms of the region
supplied by the facial nerve were also
present. He was discharged from the
hospital as improved, but two
months afterward his condition
was unchanged; he was unable
to work on account of headac
and weakness. Thomsen's diagnosis
was railway brain, condition of
profound disturbance of cerebral func.
tons 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 demonstration of hem
orrhage and struct ural LESSONS explains
the course of these cases when fatal,
it 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
cerebral conditions causing permanent
mental impairment, is an interesting
question for neurologists, and, in its
medico-legal aspects, for the corpora
ton whose property may cause such
injuries, to their patrons and employ es.

do; often double the number of acres
that he should have. 1t does rot pay
to carry on a farm in this fashion;
better pay taxes only on what you can

fewer acres, raise larger crops. and you
will find it will pay great deal better.

THAT FOOL CONVENTION.

The republicans of Bexar county
will find the call, for a county con-
vention to nominate county officers
and elect delegates to state conven-
ton, to nominate a state ticket, in
this issue of the LIGHT. The former
state convention held this year in
Fort Worth to elect delegates to the
Chicago convention created a COM
mittee of thirty-three, three from
each congressional district, to put a
ticket in the field. That committee
met at Austin, and as no one evel
knew a republican convention tc
amount to anything that convened in
that city, the committee adjourned
without action and left the chairman
of the state executive committee il
position to call a convention of the
state to put in nomination a ticke
for state officers. The matter was

UNCLE SANS postal service between
San Antonio and Denver needs revis-
ing. 1t is dsgraceful to civilized
country. Express service is little
better. Matter mailed in this office,
daily, during the late Denver conven-
ton, legibly directed to the hotels at
which the parties named in the
address were stopping, never reached
its destination. Express matter was
five days getting through. Much of
the mail matter has never yet been
heard from. 1t would take the eye of
Ommncience to discover where the
fault lies-in San Antonio, en- route,
or in Denver. A howl long and loud
went up from the San Antonio cOntin-
gent at Denver over this matter. The
manner in which that service is mis-
managed and misconducted and mis-.
served is enough to justify the total
damnation of the present incompetent
postal service of this democratic ad-
ministratiOn.

In the condition of affairs in this

be no representation, properly speak
