THE wizard of Menlo Park hopes to
prove the truthfuluess of the prediction
that the inventions of the past are inferior
to those that the future encompasses, He
says he believes it possible to generate
electricity from coal without the aid of any
motive power. He has progressed so far
as to generate electricity in this way, but
not in sufficient quantities to be of much
value Ii is said that pound of coal con-
tains enough latent energy to carry itself
around the globe. At present fully s. per
ent. of this energy is wasted in the process
of conversion into heat and power. Mr..
Edison scheme, il it were to be proved
practicable, would undoubtedly revolu-
tionize the industrial world. 1t would
make electricity the only motor power in
common use and the saving of fuel would
be enormous. The enthusiastic inventor
says that he hopes to see the great Ameri.
can liners driven across the ocean by the
power generated from few baskets of coal
where now thousands of tons are consumed.
But though the public may be warranted
in looking askance at any proposition that
squints at relief from the grimy coal man,
it must take a retrospective glance and
note the amazing achievements Of Mr.. Edi-
son as materialized in the telephone, pho
uograph and other marvellous births of his
wonderful genius.

ONE WAY TO STEAL DIAMONDS.
A Trick That Admits of tho Thief sub

uniting to BE searched.
Ii is natural that articles of great
value are objects of temptation. We
are prepared to understand that the
common thief is constantly scheming
TO gain possession of precious stones
and Jewelry but it is u matter OF sur
prise to learn, through stories that
come from across the ocean, Of the
tricks that are INDUCED in there by
the diamond trade-the legitimate,
everyday dealers in precious stones.
The peculiarly of this condition OF
things is that the sharp practice of
dealers does not involve their reputa-
ton or sanding, the thing being
looked at as matter of shrewdness,
and rather aumlred as II clever piece
of business. An auecdote is related
to illustrate this:
A dealer called upon firm with
whom he was in the habit of transact
ing business and asked to see lot Of
diamonds. After examining them for
some time no returned the paper. say
ing he would call again in reference
to buying them. 1t was at once no.
ticed that a large stone was missing.
A hasty search was made, but no
trace OF the diamond being discov-
cred, the dealer without more ado was
accused of having taken the brilliant.
He Indignantly denied the charge, and
submitted without hesitation to being
searched.
The stone was not found. and pro-
fuse apologies We're offered for the
false accusation. The following day
the dealer appeared again. this time
with u paper of diamonds to sell, but
also with another oh, ect in view
which he took good care not to dis
close. \ careful observer might have
noticed, that while the stones were
being examined at the light, he ran
his fingers along the under surface OF
the portion of the counter near which
he sat and picked off something that
stuck to the wood.
1t was nothing more or less than
the diamond which had so mysteri-
ously disappeared the day before. He
had fastened it to the counter by
means of p piece of wax with which
he had provided himself. and on the
occasion OF his second visit secured
his booty.

In England there is Il great deal of ex-
element over the revelations concerning

several quarters comes demands for an ~
vestigation of the committee for hauihg
tried to conceal the information that is
now coming to light We do not see ex-
actly where the right to institute such an
investigation can rest, for the committee is
responsible only to itself and its subscribers
and to public opinion. At the same time
it will be generally considered that tie
committee was amply justified from con-
sideration of both public and private in
terests, in withholding from general circu-
lation the dreadful facts in its possession.
Nor will any good purpose be now served
by following the matter further. The
truth is out in its entirety. Both sides to
the controversy have been heard, and the
case is closed. An investigation could
only go again over the familiar field, with.
out being able to settle more than has beer
settled already. Discussion of the subjec
ought to be dropped, so that the worlc
may turn its attention to more agreeabl,

TREATMENT HAS CONTINUED


until the reaction grew weaker and finally
ceased. In two cases of lupus of the face,
the sores, after three or four injections,
became scarcer and presented a smooth
surface. Each one of these cases had suf-
fered for many years, and had been treated
by other methods without beneficial re-
suit Persons suffering with tuberculosis
of the Emphatic glands, bones or joints
have been treated with precision with the
same success. There has been rapid heal
ing in the milder cases and cases of recent
development of the disease, while in severe
cases the improvement, while slow. has
been steady. Patients with profound tu-
bercuosis of the lungs have proved far
more susceptible to the remedy than those
suffering with surgical tubercular affec-
tions. Consumptives have in almost every
case manifested strong improvement on
greatly reduced doses. With such patients
all therefore beginning should be with
disease of two-one-thousandth part. From
this small dose one can advance to such
quantities as the patient can easily bear.
In the experiments that have been con-
Quoted consumptives have accordingly first
received cutaneous injection of one one
thousandth part OF cubic centimenter.
Then, when the temperature increased the
same dose was applied daily until the fur
Their occurred Thereupon the dose was
doubled, two one-thousandth part of a Gu
| bic centimeter being injected regularly
until again no reaction occurred.
| This method was continued with almost
an increase of one one-thousandth part OF
a cubic centimenter or at most two one
| thousands up to one one-hundredth part,
SO in this way the patient would be
brought to the recovery almost without
| fever and almost imperceptibly to himself.
| As a rule the coughing and expectoration
are increased somewhat after first mice
| tions. They become gradually less, and
| in the most favorable cases, will ultimately
wholly disappear. In the cases expert
mented upon under the direction Of Prof,
Koch the expectoration usually assumed a
mucous character, The number of bacilli
expelled usually decreases only when The
expectorations begin to assume the mucous
! form. The bacill then disappear entirely
for time, but on occasion again appear
until expectoration ceases. At the same
time the night sweats cease, the patients be-
gin to look better and increase in weight.
Patients who have been treated in the
early stages of phthisis have all been freed
from morbid symptoms within from four
to six weeks. when they may be regarded
as healed. Consumptives with large cavi-
ties in their lungs will probably only in
perience benefit from the new remedy in ex-
exceptional cases, though most cases show
temporary Improvement. Prof. Koch de-
preciates the mechanical and indiscrimin-
ate application of the remedy. He holds
it would be proftaby applied in suitable
instances where careful observance would
