COUNT PERCY N. DEDUBoEAG, of
Tallula Falls, GA, physician of con-
siderable repute, was called to the bed
side of Mrs. S. White, lately of New
York. and very wealthy lady. Mrs.
White had fallen from a cliff and sus-;
tain d the loss of an immense quantity
of blood. The physician, without hes
itation, opened blood vessel in his
arm AMI passed large quantity of
blood into similar vessel in his pa
TENTS arm, no other physician being
present. Count Deduboeag, after suf-
fering the loss of blood, had to stop
the flow in his own arm and then adj
minister to his patient, and before the
operation was completed he almost
tainted IRON weakness and loss of
blood.

THERE are many curious copies of
the Holy Writ in the various collec-
tions of books in the world, but there
is considerable doubt if there is one as
rare as that owned by DR.. Williams, q
London physician. 1t is written en-
tirely in shorthand, and is on exhibit
tion in its owners library on Clifton
street. This volume, for the amount
of reading matter it contains, is very
small, and the characters are exquis-
itely written. 1t is said to have be-
longed to an apprentice, who, suspi-
cious of James II. S intention regarding
Professionalism, wrote the whole for HIM
self, fearing that he might be deprived
OF his printed copy.

The Chicago Times of a recent date
contained the following: Gordon H.
Motifs gigantic scheme for removing
the city's sewage was explained by that
gentleman yesterday to the Council
committee to whom was referred the
project of lower-level sewage. He
proposes to sink shaft in the vicinity
of the Bridewell, and from thence
build main-sewer tunnel twenty feet
in diameter which will extend directly
south for twenty-six miles, emptying
into the Desplaines River eight miles
south of Joliet. The tap OF the tun-
mel at the beginning will be thereby
five feet below the level of the lake.
and at Joliet some ninety feet below.
This will permit drop of over a foot
per mile, which, it is claimed, will give
a grade that will cause swift current
through the tunnel. Below Joliet the
sewage will be received into o precipi-
Eating basin covering an area of eighty
acres, where all organic matter will be
precipitated with quicklime. 1t will
then pass into the settling" basin COW
ering 300 acres, from which it is pro-
posed to remove the settings and sell
Them for fertilizing purposes. To sug-
gest the millions of expense a plan OF
this magnitude would involve, it is
only necessary to mention Mr.. Motifs
estimate-that 10000 men would have
to labor four years in order to complete
such o work.

A TOWN WITH A HISTORY.

1t seems strange that far North

fury when, in 1804-5, Lewis and Clarke
made their famous transcontinental
trip. 1t wal at the junction of the
Snake and Clearwater Rivers that they
pitched their tents on a certain occa-
sion on that eventful journey, and their
old camping-gr has since become
the site of thriving little city of not
less than two thousand souls. Six or
seven years after Lewis and Clarke,
Hunts party, on its way to Astoria,
reached the same spot. as related by
Washington Irving in his account of
that ill-starred expedition; but for
many years after Hunt the Indians
were the only visitors, with possibly
an occasional wandering white man,

A DENTAL school for negroes has
been established at Nashville, Tenn,
with the prospect OF plenty of work for
its graduates. When the negro was u
slave and lived on corn bread and fat
meat and went to bed at dark he had
the best teeth in the world. AS soon
as he became citizen his teeth began
to decay, owing to his indulgence in
whisky and sweetmeats.

1874, when a fictitious story was pub

A rleia Tor Investigators.

1t was stated thirty years ago that an
ordinary battery would impart to per.
feet electric motor only one horse
power of energy from a consumption
of two pounds of zinc per hour, while
q good steam engine would give an
equal power from two pounds per hour
of the much cheaper coal. Prof. Ayrton
now asserts, however, that zinc batter
les may yet be made an important and
economical source of mechanical energy,
and that they may furnish a solution of
the problem of converting the energy
of coal into electric energy without the
wasteful steam engine. Before this can
be accomplished it will be necessary to
find process Of unburning the oxi-
died zinc at o cost comparable with
the cost of an equal weight of coal, so
that the metal may be cheaply used,
over and over.-Arkansaw 1rapeIer.'

Taking off the coat AMI vest and let

becoming more and more obsolete as
women become more and more identi-

The Outlook for the South

The South has no more zeal
GUS advocate than the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record. 1t scarcely
needs prophets foresight, says the
Record, to sec that what we have
predlcted is even now already al
most upon US. The signs of great
activity are too plain not to be seer /,
The people of the South are determ-
med that while they lost in the po-
litical battle, they are bound to win
in the stuggls for industrial supre-
macy. From Virginia to Texas they
are moved BY the one great impulse
to develop their matchless resources,
and thus make the South what 1t ID
sertainly destined to be-the richest
countryin the world. They are not
left 10 Themselves. however. IN this
work. Nortberp men and Northern
captal will pour into the South as
never before. We see It every day.
All along the line there are great
developments coming and before
this winter ends there will be such
activity throughout the South as
will astonish those who have not
carefully studied the present condi-
ton of affairs. In connection with
the industrial activity there will, we
think, be heavy demand for real
estate, especially In progressive
