PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.
The Remarkable Experience OF q Patienl
Under the influence of Ether.

The Remarkable Experience OF q Patient
Under the influence Of Ether.
An interesting instance Of the very pecu-
liar dreams or visions sometimes resulting
from the inhalation Of sulphuric ether, which
have been termed the ''anaesths,ic revela-
tion," is related by correspondent of Science
News, who took ether for a surgical opera
ton. He says:
l felt that the life was quitting my ex-
tremities all around, and concentrating at
the center Of my body, leaving nothing but
inert matter outside. A moment came when
the last conscious wag of the tongue was pos
sible, and with it said "Good-by.n l was
fully conscious that was about to launch
into an unknown sea- The complete log book
of that cruise is certainly not in my memory,
but l find some faint traces of it.
! seemed to be in the presence of multi
tude Of persons who were being arranged by
some mystical agency in series Of classes or
ranks, like soldiers drilling. In some mex
picable way this drill work was identified
with the great work of God, and his purpose
% creating the universe. I was a passive
subject Of certain evolutions in which was
placed for short time IN one class or rank,
and then for a short time in another. Mr.
N had much of the care of marshaling US
here and there, and Mr. B., the noted al
manac maker, stood by, with pencil and
paper, full of intense calculations and mathe-
NAUTICAL estimates of the results of each Of
these eyolutions.
The stake that was involved in these move
ments was nothing short of the everlasting
settlement Of the destiny Of the human race
and the casting out of evil The spirit that
pervaded the whole movement was that of
intense care and precision, aud enthusiastic
bursts of rapture, applause and laughter fol-
lowed each successive arrangement.
Regularly and rapidly certain crisis ap-
preached. Just at this stage Of the proceed
ings two lines of verses were put into my
mind, one Of which terminated with 'Ha, ha,
ha," and the other with 'Hurrah, hurrah,"
and / thought that was appointed to finish
the whole performance by repeating this dog
gerel
wondered much at the arrangement, but
said would obey. Ispoke the first word or
two of 1t. Instantly the whole drama of the
universe broke in upon my spiritual vision like
a Lightning flash. was conscious that when
should finish the last hurrah, the work of
the world and the universe, SO far as it had
anything to do with evil, would be finished,
and my cheers would be joined by those of
untold millions, surging up from the hearts
Of the redeemed Of the human race. You may
be sure that gave that last hurrah with an
emphasis. Those in the room can testify to
that. But it was scarcely out Of my mouth
before consciousness returned.
was afterwards told that my trance lasted
about twenty minutes.

Iron Stag for Pavensents.

Considerable attention has recently been
paid to the problem Of utilizing iron Stag for
commercial purposes The immense quantity
of material now going to waste at all Of the
iron furnaces In this country makes q large
field for operations if any process for con-
verting the Stag into useful product can be
devised. The Invention Of the process of
making mineral wool by forcing jet Of
super heated steam through the molten Stag
opened up one valuable use for portion Of
the waste. Although large quantities of
mineral wool are now used, the amount of
Stag consumed in its manufacture is incon-
siderable.
Mr. A D. ELDERS, who started the mineral
wool business, and nfterward sold out to the
New York Steam Heating company, has re-
Gently invented process for converting iron
Stag into paving blocks. His process removes
the sulphur from the Stag, and makes it q
Homogeneous mass Of great toughness and
durability. 1t is cast into square blocks Of
any desired size, and is claimed to DO equal
in quality to the bast Belgian paving stones
It's cost Is considerably less than natural rock
AS the output of Stag from the production Of
American pig iron Is now about five million
tons annually, according to Mr.. Elders, there
is room for big industry.-New York Mail

THE ElEeT "a.

An Exciting Ocean Race In which the
New Pilot Boat IA Victorious.
The new pilot boat W. w. Ker. which
was recently launched here has distin.
guished herself already by showing her
stern to the e. O. Knight, heretofore the
pioneer pilot boat. This news was a
great surprise TO the entire shipping fra
ternity as IL was not thought she would
do much until she became limbered up.
The Eernwell was the first boat boarded
by the ker, and Captain Mumford said he
felt highly complmented at receiving
the FIRST pilot from her.
IL was early OH Friday morning when
the Knight was fallen In with the light
on the point OF Cape Henlopen was Just
visible through the fog. Both vessels
were in good trim, and the Ker's colors
were hoisted as an Indication that she
would try speed with the Knight then
and there This being agreed TO the
struggle for victory was at once begun.
The wind at the time was south south
east. and the offstart was made on the
starboard tack This was successful, and
the ker drew her opponents slightly. On
rounding to on the port tack the Ker lost
no time in displaying her stern sheets
running free from the wind she had no
trouble whatever in beating the Knight.
The result Of the contest has been the
central topic Of discussion among the
pilots all yesterday. but the Bayard pilots
stu MAINTAIN that they will beat the
Kerr, and arrangements for this race
have been made, not to take place later
than fifteen days from yesterday. The
starting point is to be from the buoy Of
the middle then seaward.
Il have been on pilotboats all my life. !"
said Pilot Long to a Philadelphia Press
reporter, "but never was on boat that
worked so easily as the Ker She Is not
quite stiff enough, but will beat dead to
windward under mainsail and foresail,

Arrangements have been made to put
about fifteen tons more ballast in her, as
she is yet too tender.
