THEORISTS: HOW To MEET 1T.
q Question of vital LII, pertance 80 Al
Citizens OF Roanoke.

LAYING aside every weight that
would hinder, and every individual
jealousy that would embitter, let us
reason together on subject of great
importance, not only to the property
holders of this city, but perhaps OF
greater to that many who have been
attracted here by Roanoke's fabulous
growth, who ardently hope that by
frugal habits and untiring industry,
to soon be among those who can
vote an opinion, as well as possess
one. That subject is 1.-THE Roanoke
and Southern Railroad"
| want to see Roanoke a city OF
thirty thousand souls within five
wears, SAYS every man in this city and
hundreds who live abroad that have
invested in her properties.
Every thinking man, whether he be
philantbropist or mtser, would wish
TO see those thirty thousand sonls
made, and kept happy and prosper
GUS. That contamination could
only be reached through many and
varied industries. To maintain these
in this day of close competition, the
protector of the particular enterprise
must labor under no disadvantage
with his competitor. This is true of
cities as well.
If Roanoke would be g Richmond
or a Lynchburg, she must provide
herself with all armor and all wea-
pons for successful contest To estab-
fish and maintain our industries,

cheaper than any other manufacturers

NEW WATER DISEASE.
A Baltimore Man Attacked With Hydatid-
cyst of the Liver.

| n baltimore Man Attacked With Hydatid-
| cyst of the Liver.
| rare and serious disease, which is
known as hydatidcyst of the liver is be-
ing watched with great interest by the
| professors, doctors and medical students
at the city hospital. Tho patient is a
| German, John L. Boisenbruch, and he is
| forty-four years OF age. His disease is
due to the ova, of a peculiar kind of tape
worm which inhabits the dog and other
animals. The ova find their way into
the stomach OF man in drinking water
and are thence carried to the liver by
the blood vessels. The egg is about
one-hundredth of an inch in diameter
and the parts which develop it are found
in the water on the ground and stick to
the surface of vegetables uncoolied to
take the ova into the body. Tho ami
mails from these ova, however, are not
developed in man. Tho eggs once in
the stomach of man increase at an
enormous rate. From the stomach of
man they are absorbed by the blood ves-
sells leading to the liver. Here too ova
form cysts or little bags around them
selves, like the caterpillar in it's co.
coon. When this cyst is taken into the
stomach of the dog it develops into
the full-grown hydatid, which is
one-quarter of an inch in length with
head one-sixtieth of an inch and hav-
ing numerous little hooks and suckers.
Beisenbruch was admitted to the city
hospital on October 25. 1889. He was
laborer at the jesuit College, in Wood
stock, and had complained of dull, but
severe pain in his right side since last
spring. He had wasted away and lost
nearly forty pounds of flesh. The doc
tors at the city hospital diagnosed his
case and on November ID, Prof. Chas. f.
Bevan, in the presence of Drs. B. w.
Chambers, T. S. Latimer, w. w. Smith
and John Branham, performed what has
up to the present time proved very
successful operation. Prof. Bevan mado
an incision in the wall of the right
side of the abdomen, just below the ribs
and about gallon and half of pus was
taken from the mans liver. The method
OF removing the hydatidcysts is by
means of draining the liver, which oper-
alton is OF modern surgical art. The
pain Of the patient before tho operation
was intense, the tumor in his right side
having extended his liver nearly fifteen
inches. The great pain seemed to leave
him after the operation and he now ap.
pears to be ering.-Baltimore Let

A MATHEMATICAL DARKY.
He Can Neither Read Nor Write, But Arith-

metic Has no Secrets for Him.
Sam Summers, the negro prodigy, was
in town yesterday, and, as usual, enter
tanned large crowd, who were testing
him with all kinds of mathematical
problems. Summers is q negro, thirty
| four years old, without the slightest
education. He can not read or write,
and does not know one figure from an
other. He is common, everyday farm
hand, and to look at him and watch his
actions he seems to be about half-witted,
but his quick and invariably correct
answer to any example in arithmetic,
no matter how difficult, is simply Won
derful. With the hundreds of tests that
he has submitted to, not single time
has he failed to give the correct answer.
Some examples given him were: How
much gold can be bought for S792 in
greenbacks if gold is worth $1.65; multi
ply 507,3l2 by 1873. If grain of wheat
produces seven grains, and these be sown
the second year, each yielding the same
increase, how many bushels will be pro-
duccd at this rate in twelve years if
1000 grains make pint? If the velocity
OF sound is 1,142 feet per second, tire
pulsation of the heart seventy per min
ute, after seeing flash of lightning
there are twenty pulsations counted be-
fore you hear 1T thunder, what distance
is the cloud from the earth, and what
is the time after seeing the fash of
lightning until You hear the thunder?
A commission merchant received seventy
bags OF wheat, each containing three
bushels, three pecks and three quarts;
how many bushels did he receiver And
SO on. With Robinson's, Rays and
other higher aithmetics before them,
those who have tested him as yet have
been unable to find any example that
with few moments thought on his
part he is not able to correctly answer.
