The Brompton Hospital for con-
sumptives, London. Eng, publishes
statement that % per cent. of the
patients in that institution had UNI
suspected kidney disease. Every
drop of blood in the system passes
thousands of times through the lungs
in each "A hours. The same blood
passes through the kidneys for puri-
llcation. If the kidneys are not in a
healthy condition or able to eNpel
the poisonous or waste matter the
acids return to the delicate tissues
of the lungs and produce irritation,
which results in the symptoms of
what is known as consumption. This
explains why 80 per cent. of the con
sumptivc patients have unsupported
kidney disorder. Warmers Safe
Cure puts the kidneys in a healthy
condition, taking the acids from the

The Flapping of n Fly's Wing.

The slow Tapping of butterfy's wing pro-
duces no sound, but when the movements are
rapid a noise is produced, which increases in
shrillness with the number of vibrations.
Thus the house fly, which produces the sound
F, vibrates its wings 81, 100 times minute, or
S35 times in a second; and the bee, which
makes sound of A, as many as 26, 400 times,
or 40 times in a second. On the contrary, q
tired bee huns on E, and therefore accord
ing to theory, vibrates its wings only S3C
times In second. Marcy, the naturalist
after many attempts, has succeeded by deli
cate mechanism in confirming these numbers
graphically. He fixed fly so that the tip OF
the wing just touched a cylinder, which was
moved by clockwork. Each stroke Of the
wing caused a mark, Of course very slight
but still quite perceptible, and thus showed
that there were actually $50 strokes in a sec
ond, agreeing almost exactly with the mum

Womeu's Breathiur.

Our readers will doubtless remember the
claim made by DR.. Thomas J. Mays, Of Phil
adelphia, that he had succeeded in demon
strating that the statement made in almost
every text book on physiology, that it was
natural for women to breathe from the chest,
was wrong; that the abdominal type Of res
piration, as ordinarily observed in men, was
the natural type Of women as well, and the
costal type as seen in women is the result of
modern dress. This claim he supported by
the result of an examination of eighty-two
American Indian girls DR.. J. 81. Kellogg,
from an examination of Chinese and other
women untrammeled by tight fitting dress,
finds the abdominal type present In them.
Other observers, notably Hutchinson, in
twenty-four girls whose waists had never
been CONSTRUCTED by oorsets or other appli-
ances, found tine costal type present. Herald

Pau-Americau Carriage Exhibit.

Among the thousand and one beautiful
and entertaining sights in the exhibition,
none are more admired than the lovely Dex-
ter exhibits of phaeton and light buggy,
mounted on the celebrated Dexter Fairy
Queen gear. In fact, these two vehicles
seem to include the whole carriage exhibit,
and they have been well chosen to represent
the useful as well as ornamental, and are
Just such vehicles as would be most useful to
our neighbors of the other American States,
and we bespeak for them a most careful ex-
animation by our honored guests
The Dexter buggy is noted for its dura-
bility and easy motion, as shown by the
large sale of Broadway Queens in use in
Pittsburg and the United States generally, as
we'll as in Australia and other foreign
countries.
Mr.. Grier, the proprietor, extends a
cordial invitation to the members of the
Pan-American Congress, as we'll as others,
to visit the Dexter factory at Hutton, Pa,
where every facility will be given to ex-
anime the fine quality and workmanship of
the Dexter gear.

DIAMOND WIDENING CLAIMS.
]. r. WeIdin d Co. Want S27,75O for Their
LeasehoId-KIinor Damages.

The hearing of claims for damages through
the widening of Diamond alley was taken
up by the Board of Viewers, yesterday fore
noon. The claimants who appeared were
mostly butchers, who have stalls in the
market on the line to be occupied by the
street. Their claims were made conditioned
that they were not supplied with other
stands, equally as good as those they occupy
at present; if they get such stands they will
claim nothing.
The claims they made were as fol-
Mcintyre, $4,000; George Pabst, S., 1000;
ersman, $500; Emmert P. Hof-
field, $4,000; E. j. Eckstein, $4,000;
John Kitterly, $4,000; J. A. Roberts,
s., 500; John Hoffman, $40, 900; John Carver,
ST, 900; George Etzel, S., 900; William ROtte
and William Peters demanded new stands,
but claimed 10 fixed amount; Albert
Kemich, S., 900; NJ. NJ. Fried & Co., s., 800
they claimed to do a business of S115, 900
per year; E. A. Reineman, SIC, 900; Jacob
Craig, $1,000; Jacob Kaut SS,50O-he
claims he paid that amount recently for the
goodwill of the stand he occupies; E. J.
Heinrich, $1,000; L. II. Schleleinger, S10,-
600; James Crisswell, $1,000, George Bell,
$4,000; Fred Hotmeyer, 5000; Andrew
Grulich, 81, 500; G. C. Dellenbaugh, s., 900;
w. H. Gledhill, fish and oysters, $1,000.
H. Lee Mason, representing Jas. r.
Weldin & Co., put in claim of $27, $50, of
which a leasehold on the buildings they
occupy, at the corner of Wood and Dla-
mond streets, for five years and nine months
at 81, 400 per year, is one of the principal
factors. They claim damages because they
will have to move to a smaller building
which will compel them to give up one
class of their trade, because they will lose
trade by moving into small building, be-
cause they lose great advantage by mov-
ing from building in which their business
has been established q years, and because
they will have to purchase a complete new
set of store furniture and shelving.
Thomas H. Rose & Bro. put in claim of
500, 1856 on their shoe stores, 10 and 81 Dia-
mond street. They say they will lose on
their leases, on the damage to their stock by
removal, and on the loss of trade by moving
from a stand they have occupied % years.
c. G. Fawcett, representing Faweett &
Milligan, 81 Diamond street, queensware,
put in a claim for $4,000 and William
France & Son, groceries, corner Diamond
street and Market Square, claimed $40, 800.
The meeting adjourned until next Thurs
day morning.

THE ERIE CANAL COMMISSION.
A Preliminary Meeting Held at Which
Routes Were Discussed.

A Preliminary Meeting Held at Which
Routes Were Discussed.
The first regular meeting of the Erie Ship
Canal Commission was held in the Office Of
Captain John A. Wood yesterday afternoon.
The members of the commission present
we're Chairman John A. Wood, j. M. Good
win, of Mercer county; Hon. W. S. Shsllen-
berger, of Beaver, and Colonel Thomas P.
Roberts, Of this city. Mr.. Eben Brewer,
editor of the Erie Dispatch, was absent on
account of sickness in his family.
The meeting was rather of an informal
character, the only business transacted be-
ing the discussion of preliminary matters
looking toward the appointment of sub
committees to attend to specific duties The
idea is to have a committee of one appointed
to inquire into the several interests Of the
lake and river commerce, and to investigate
the two routes proposed with a view to
recommending one of them
The enterprise is beginning to assume
very large proportions. 1t is now regarded
as not only a benefit to Western Pennsyl-
vania, but also to many States in the North
west. Colonel Roberts said yesterday:
"The benefit canal from Pittsburg to
Lake Erie will be to the States in the North
west is incaleulable."
The route proposed for the canal will re-
ceive the first attention of the commission.
One of these routes is by way of Rochester,
Beaver, New Castle, up the Beaver and
Shensngo valleys to Erie. The other is up
the Allegheny river to Franklin river and
French creek. The commission will 90 over
the two proposed routes at an early date for
the purpose of making an examination of
them.
The meeting yesterday was interrupted by
a telegram notifying Chairman Wood that
one Of his boats had stranded at Marietta,
which called him away. The meeting then
adjourned to meet at the call of the Chair
