ELECTRICITY in MEDICINE.
The Treatment of Phthisis by Means Of
Ga1vanic Currents.

The treatment OF PhthiSis by Means OF
Galvanic Currents.
DIR. Libermann, of Strasburg, pro-
poses a new treatment of phthisis,
based upon some entirely original
views concerning the etiology OF this
disease. AT one of the congresses for
the, advancement of science, a few
years since, the treatment OF phthisis
by electricity was brought forward,
and since then several experimenters
hav9contined their researches: some
having in view the catalytic action of
the galvanic current. and more par
ticularly the utilization of it's influence
over the vaso-motors; others employing
static electricity as electric baths, or
as a generator of ozone for inhalation.
DR.. Libermann employs the continuous
current, but upon totally different
theoretical grounds, He maintains
that pulmonary phtbisis is due to a
lesion of the pneumogastric nerves,
caused by cold in predisposed sub
jects. According to DR.. Libermann,
the first stage OF the disease, that OF
congestion of the pneumogastrics, Is
always accompanied by paralysis Of
one or both vocal cords In the second
period, military granulations appear
in the larynx, lungs and elsewhere.
With the third stage, that OF prolifera-
ton of the connective tissues OF the
affected nerves. come dyspnna and
h@moptysis. The last stage Of
phthisis corresponds to the destruction
of the myeline from fatty degenera-
ton. OF course, DIR. Libermann denies
the specificity of the bacillus. which, he
says, may be found in simple bronchi-
It's and in catarrhal. pneumonia
During the first period described. and
which Is evidenced by changes in the
voice, paralysis OF the vocal cord or
cords, and pain upon pressure Of the
pneumogastric nerves, even wheh,
there has been h3moptysis and an in--
herited tendency to consumption ex-

MOVING A METEOR.

The Feat of Transporting 1t From Bahia to
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
For more than II century tho travel-
ers along a river in the province OF
Bahia, Brazil, saw in the edge of the
strearn a great mass OF iron ore. At a
dow stage of water a pair of chariot
wheels have been visible heneath the
edge of the mass. This mass of iron
is known to be OF meteoric origin, and
to have 'fallen from the sky, though no
one knows at precisely what date. 1t
was first discovered in 1854 and an
attempt was soon madeto transport it
to the coast. AS the smeteorolite had
been .ascertained to weigh about six
tons, the feat of transporting it was
not an easy one. An immense chariot,
or truck, was constructed, and by dint
of the exertions of one hundred and
forty oxen, the .meteorolite was laden
upon this chariot But at the very
first start the vehicle sunk up to the
hubs in. the mud, and nothing could
it. The. attempt was then
and there abandoned, and tho chariot
wheels testified for more than a cen
tury to the failure of this effort to re-
move the great meteorolite.
A recent attempt, however, aided by
modern science, has been more SUCCESS
full. A Brazilian engineer has sue
ceeded in raising the meteor and trans
porting it to Rio de Janieiro. To ac-
complish this result, the. Brazilian
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS twenty thou
sand dollars, and an equal. sum was
contributed for the purpose by a rich
private citizen.
When the .meteorolite reached Rio de
Janeiro, it was cut into two pieces, in
order that its structure might be
studied. 1t is composed of iron, OF
crystalline formation, and mixed with
other substances condition which is
characteristic of all the iron which has
fallen from the sky in meteors, and
as meteoric iron. It
is most interesting fact, that none of
the meteorolites, so far54as is known,
contain any chemical element that is
not known on the earth. They always
contain: iron. but it is compounded diff
ferently from any knowni iron native to
the earth, -Youth's Companion.

clubs with q creditable ambition % have q
part in shaping public afhirs. The deYel-
opment of the resources Of the communities
to which they belapg By enterprising, pro-
gressive policy is proper function for their
best mental activities They viii deserve
better of the public BY giving due import
anee to objects coming under this head than
by deVOting themselves wholly to further
ing the interests Of leaders or being con-
cerned merely in the distribution of Office
What is true of the political clubs is
equally true of the leaders of State and ma
tional fame and influence. When the
remembrance of the ordinary victories or de-
feats incident to the management and to the
conflict of parties shall have passed away it
would be with lasting pride that they might
point to some great work undertaken and
accomplished by their efforts, whose benefits
would be felt by the people for generations
to come.
The ship canal from Lake Erie to the
Ohio is project which bears just such rela-
tion in its importance toWestern, Northern,
and Middle Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio
in fact, to all the territory which has this
city for its industrial center. 1t is not q
partisan question, nor is it the hobby Of any
one leader at present; but it is an enterprise
big and vast enough in its beneficial couse-
quences to win immense and lasting credit
for the party and for the leaders who carry
it through. There is room for everyone in
the work. Bya long pull. strong pull and
a pull altogether, the canal will be built
Nothing will give greater satisfaction to the
people than to see Senators Quay and Cam
eron, Congressman Bayne and Dalzell, and
every other Congressman and politician OF
ability and influence in the State, giving
harmoniously their most determined efforts
to make the programme success.
The signs of interest and appreciation so
far are deeply gratifying. Whenever the
men in politics take hold Of the matter with
the spirit which they infuse into their other
political engagements, the canal will be pro-
vided for. They have the power; and when
they move, they will have also the backing
OF all the business interests.

CHRISTMAS WEATHER.

What will become of the traditions of St.
Nick if this sort of weather keep up for a
few days longer? Yesterday was bright and
balmy as though it were early spring, not
midwinter. The remarkable season when
New Years Day witnessed numerously at
tended picnic at one of the groves in the
East Liberty suburb is so far rivaled, if not
surpassed, in extraordinary mildness.
Whatever fancies people have for the
Observation-Disclosures much they love to talk
OF the good old days when at Christmas the
snow covered the earth like a mantle, and
sleigh-bells rang out upon frosty air, and
Kris Kringle was furnished to hand with
the properties and scenic accessories for his
stormy night ride among the chimneY-tops,
it still remains that the present weather is
the more delightful of the two varieties.
There Is of course, the frequent objection that
it brings sickness; but that has never been
clearly proved. The bright, cheerful and
moderately warm air, doubtless, does tempt
people in some cases to carelessness which
results in danger to health-but it is not fair
to blame the weather for that
To the thousands who throng our streets
and stores, On shopping bent, the dispense
ton Of blue skies, balmy atmosphere and
genial sunshine, is blessed boon.

WASHINGTON, December 19.-The President
gave reception this afternoon to the delega-
ton of Sioux Indians now on visit to the city
There were about so Of them present, in charge
of Messrs. Foster. Warner and Crook, of the
Sioux Commission. The reception was held in
the East Room, and was witnessed by Mira
Harrison, Mrs. Mckee, DR.. Scott, Postmaster
General Wanamaker and others Senator
Warner presented the Indians, saying that it
was merely a social call, the Indians wishing to
show the Great Father what manner of men
they were. He then introduced John Grass, Of
Standing Rock agency, who made a good
natured speech to the President, In the course

things, boundary line for their reservation
and better schools for their children.

AN UNNECESSARY EFFoRT

The characteristic and purpose of the
Glass Trust or combination, which is located
this time in New York, is declared to be
mot to raise prices or to lower wages but to
regulate both in the interest ofthe capitalist,
the laborer and the consumer"
This is the very general purpose of trusts
nowadays None Of them would raise
prices-at least unduly-and all of them are
intended to deal out exact justice as between
capitalist, laborer and consumer-if we
swallow their professions But the fact re-
mains that the laborer and consumer are
never represented in the trust and if che
latter does not give the capitalist an in
creased share Of the production its certi6-
Gates presently take tumble and the trust
goes to pieces. The Cottonseed Oil Trust
was not raising prices unduly according to
its views; but since it proved unable to
choke of competition cottonseed oil has de-
clined to little over half the former prices
and to fall back on an old adage ''the trust
is bust"
The idea Of a trust to regulate prices and
wages in the interest of the capitalist, the
laborer and the consumer" is especially
unique, inasmueh as that is Just what is
done under the competition which it is the
object ofa combination to prevent. Under
competition il capital gains higher profits
than capital elsewhere can, other capital
flows in to take its place; if labor gets higher
wages, other laborers learn the trade, or if
the consumers get lower prices in proper
tion to the real cost Of production, increased
demand follows and sustains prices. The
opposite result follows the opposite cause;
with the result that the truest distribution
Of the rewards of industry is always secured
under free competition. To propose to ac-
complish this result by combination is like
proposing to abolish the force of gravitation
in order to be sure that the water will seek
Its own level.
The glass combination which is probably
spOcryphal, SO far as New York is concerned,
would if successful only amount to q pre-
MUM on putting up new glass factories.
But as to combinations in general, it
IS worth while to remember that they are
organized by capital for the sole purpose Of
increasing the share which that capital gets
out Of the returns Of industry.
