A TAPE-wORM TRAP.
The Peculiar Instrument Invented by
an Ingenious Kentucky Doctor.

A prominent physician was converting
with New York Times reporter a few
nights ago concerning the curious instru-
ments invented to aid surgical and medi.
cal science. Scores were considered as
remarkable, and the list was pretty
nearly exhausted when the physician re.
marked:
"I'll tell you of one now that I'll wager
you never heard of. 1t was invented by
. Kentucky physician, was patented.
and the model is now in the Patent Office
At Washington. 1t was invented as =
means for removing tape.worms. Its de.
scription is as follows: The affair is
made of platinum, and is about the size
Of small hazel.nut. 1t is spherical and
hollow. In one side of it is cut an open.
ing about the diameter OF an ordinary
lead pencil, and within this is set of
springs somewhat after the fashion OF
rrouse.trap. Behind the loop which
springs up to catch the prospective vic.
tim is tiny hook.

two days. This accomplished, the tape.
worm becomes thin and wants something
to eat. Then 10 the time for the opera.
ton. A little piece of cheese is hung
upon the hook within the trap, the
syringe are set, and after silk thread
has been tied to little hole in the end
of the trap. the latter is swallowed. The
worm is supposed to be ready to take
almost anything. He encounters the
trap and the cheese becomes rare op.
portunity to him. He sticks his head in
through the little hole and fuses with
the cheese, when snap goes the trap, and
master worm is caught about the head.
"When two hours have elapsed the
trap and its victim are slowly pulled uT
by means Of the silk cord, and the mon
ster of the abdominal cavity is removed
am not aware that many of these trap
! have been used, inasmuch as the tape
worm lives not on solids, but simply OF
absorption. But the affair was move

ally to get patent upon"

broke the record from Yokohama, making the
passage in 13 days, IA hours and minutes. III
is expected that the new steamer China Wlh
further cut down the time TO twelve days.
Reports from along the Yang-tze River show
that the horrors of the Yellow River hoods OF
two years ago bid fair to be repeated. The ac-
counts say that the waters OF the rlver have
risen to an extraordinary height, and Hankew
Bund is under water. This means that the river
had risen a great many feet above its normal
level at this season There is terrible suffering
all along the river. and in many extensive dis
tricts the crops, which were already late, have
been ruined, while there must have been enormous
loss of life. Five hundred families were drowned
at Wang-Choo, while in one district o, 900 people
are homeless.
While for thousands of miles around Shanghai
the country is flooded, yet the Province of Fo-
Kien is suffering from drouth, rain having
fallen since the early part of August in that dis
! trict On August &c the officials all prayed for
rain, but their prayers were of no avail lhe
heat has been great and nearly all the
creeks and wells are dry and
many people have to travel great
distances TO get water from the large streams.
The fields in the greater part of the province are
literally baked with the heat. Many people have
died through want of water.
