GOLD WATER CURE.
The Efficacy of Baths in All Varieties OF

The Efficacy of Baths in All Varieties OF
Fever.
The most rapid and certain way Of
abstracting heat from the body is by
she cold bath. Within d few years
this has been extensively used in the
treatment of typhoid fever. tits, how
ever, by no means new. In 1777 DIR.
William Wright, who afterward be-
came president of the college of ply
sicians, Edinburgh, was attacked with
fever on shipboard. On the fifth day
he caused himself to be douched with
cold salt water, and continued this re-
peatedly for several days with the hap
piest results. A few years later Q787-
92) the celebrated DIR. Currie en-
ployed the cold bath in 1873 recorded
cases of fever. Recent statistics COM
piled by DIR. Simon Baruch are simply
astounding in their results In 2, $50
cases Of typhoid lever, collected from
various sources by Brand. which were
treated with .'strict cold baths" before
the fifth day, there did not occur sim
gle death. In 1862 cases under diff
ferent methods of treatment, collected
by Murchison, the rate of mortality
was Is. 81 per cent. The revival of the
treatment of typhoid fever by the cold
bath dates from publication by DIR.
Brand in 1861. The routine of this
treatment Is to immense the patient in
a bath. at a temperature of 60 degrees,
for fifteen minutes every three hours.
SO long as his temperature IS as high
as l03 degrees. It is. of course, es-
sential that patients be placed In the
bath and removed from the bath to the
bed with the least possible fatigue

4 Wonderful Invention Which May Rev-

4 Wonderful Invention Which May Rev
otutionize Newspaper Art.
This is the machine that is to rev.
olutionize newspaper pictorial art,
explained Mr.. Ginochio. 1T is filled
with clockwork and operated by
strong electric battery. It's mate is at
the other end Of the line. Now, you
can write a signature or a letter, and
it will transmit either, with the iden-
teal characters formed with your pen.
But that would be nothing new. Auto
biography has been sknown for fully
ten years, but this will carry out the
auto-telegraphic idea to the fullest ex-
tent You can write as much as
you please-thousand Of words II
you like, as newspaper men and others
frequently have to do-and this ma
chine will chew it up-that is, transmit
it-as fast as you can write. Indeed,
the writing can be done on a continu-
Gus roll, and when Il score of lines are
written the top of the roll can be fed
to the machine, while the writer con-
tinues filing up the rest, and without
tearing the roll. 1t can be regulated
SO as to keep pace exactly with the
speed of the writer, and by the time
he has finished the machine will be on
it's last lap and will end its task al
most Immediately. The newspaper or
other office receiving the matter will
thus have it in the writer's own hand
writing and within few moments
after it has passed out of his hands >
''But how is it proposed to transmit
picturesp"
''By the same method. The paper
to be used will be washed with weak
solution of chloride Of calcium, which
will make it a conductor. The ink
will be the non-conductor or insulator.
The pictures will have to be repro
duced with pen and ink at the point Of
sending, and with this as the only de-
lay they can be transmitted without
difficulty, every line and shadow being
reproduced with extreme fidelity
''Have you tested the machineP"
Il have and found it works like a
charm. So long as the clock-work
keep running it can not get out of or
der. The machine is designed especial
| ly for the use of the daily press, and

INGENIOUS INVENTION.
An Apparatus Which Winds All Sorts
Clocks Autom atlcRIlY.

An Apparatus Which Winds All Sorts Of
Clocks Autoin atically.
Otto Urban, In Gross Kikinda, Is
clock-maker. He invented an auto
matte apparatus for winding pendulum
clocks. which was much admired for
its simple and practical mechanism
1t Is attached to the clock on one
side and to the door OF the room
on the other. A fine wire or a
catgut serves as transmission agent
By opening and closing the door the
mechanism is made to work and the
clock Is wound. To keep the clock
running for twenty-iour hours it will
be sufficient to open the door two Or
three times
When the clock is fully wound the
apparatus is stopped till the descend
ing weight is allowed to recommends
its work. Such automatic winding in
struments do not cost much. and It's
construction can easily be made solid
and faultless.
In Austria Hungary the inventor has
applied for a patent. but 1t seems his
invention only comprises clocks rum
ming by weights and doors There is
an unlimited field for some young
genius to combine French mantel
clocks with the parlor sofa when the
gas Is turned down; kitchen clocks
with the range door. the coal bin or
the washboard; bedroom clocks with
the front door latch and alarm clocks

of large storehouse upon the property
which will come into their hands at this
time. The rubber shop has been in need of
greater facilities for storing it's goods for
some time past, and the directors of the COM
pany have been continually upon the lookout
for an opportunity to secure suitable prop

President Henry L. Hotchkiss of the L.
Candee Rubber company, when seen last
night, substantiated the facts practically as
given above and said that the new storehouas
would be commenced in about six months
time. The property will not come into the
company's possession before this. Mr.. Hetch-
kiss did not wish to make public the price
which was to be paid for the property.
The L. Candee Rubber company has with
drawn all its insurance from the old line
companies and placed the risk in what is
known as the Rubber Mutuals Insurance
company, which was recently formed and
takes risks only on establishments dealing in
or manufacturing rubber goods. The local
underwriters will lose quite a sum by the
action of this company, as they had risks
amounting to about $500, 900 divided among

auxiliary in the church work.
After the exercises had been completed,
the many guests were reg aled with ice
cream and cake by the ladies of the parish.
