A RARE OLD INSTRUMENT.
A Costly Violin in the Hands of Southern
Gentleman.

A Costly Violin in the Hands of q Southern
Gentleman.
Hon. d. P. Wells, the Representative from
Marion county, has in his possession one of
the finest and rarest violins in the country,
says the Savannah Neaos. 1t bears the stamp
of the r-famed Stradivarius and the date of
1716. These Stradivarius violins are so very
rare that one in perfect order recently sold
in Europe for SIC, 900, and they are eagerly
sought after by all violnists, but genuine
one is seldom found. Mr.. Wells does not
know the history of the violin before it came
into his hands. He bought it from tobacco
hauler who came through the country with
acaravan of wagons from Virginia.
Since he has had the instrument it has
been examined and played by many fine
judges of the points of violin, and they
have all pronounced it remarkably fine
specimen. He recently had it examined by
an expert, who pronounced it a genuine
Stradivarius. Its tone is remarkably strong
and sweet, and with che exception of small
crack on one side it is in perfect order. Mr..
Wells says it is not for sale, but thinks that
an offer of $40. 900, such as was recently paid
for Sttadivarius abroad, might ind uce him
to part with it.

separabIe Ocean Steamers.

Among the great industries that are grow
ing np in the heart of our continent is the
building of ships, and a new era in the
ship building business of this country has
been marked by the construction for our
coast carrying trade Of our large steel steam
ers Rbuilt upon island lakes 1000 miles
from the Atlantic. The difficulties in the
way of the successful carrying out of this
idea have been great from the fact that the
locks of the Welland Canal cannot accom-
modate vessels of any considerable length.
This obstacle has been overcome in
novel m4aner. 1t has been shown to be
quite feasible to cut a vessel in two, and put
the parts together again on reaching the
open sea, and furthermore, that the con-
tingent expense OF such plan is more than
counterbalanced by the enormous saving in
building vessels in the heart OF the coal and
iron district Of the country. A vessel con-
structed on the shores of Lake Michigan
was recently foated down to sea in two
sections. The course was through the We'll
land Canal, down Lake Ontario, and on to
Montreal, which was reached in IL days.
The after section of the ship, contsining the
machinery, had steam in one boiler and
backed at the rate of 20 revolutions
per minute, steaming stern first, while the
forward section followed in charge of two
tugs. On arriving at Montreal the two sec
tions were placed on CREASED ways in a dry
dock, and when the parts were closed in
upon each other the butts came together SO
closely that knife blade could not be in
serted between the plates. The re-riveting
was accomplished with facIlit Y in the usual
way and the vessel was hoated out OF the
dock complete hull, defying the eye of
any expert to tell where the junction had
been made. As an instance OF the proper
tions to which the shipbuilding industry at
the lake ports has attained, it may be men,
toned that the tonnage Of the vessels built
on the lakes during the last two years is
only eight tons less than the aggregate of
ship-building on the entire seaboard of the
country, while the average size of the YES
sells built on the lakes was more than three
times that Of those built on the seaboard.
The extent to which the traffic in iron, coal
and grain is increasing points to the prob
ability that before long the building of ships
in the lake ports will be developed into a
gigantic industry.

Developing the Lungs.

A device recently invented ior the pro-
motion of deep breathing is likely to be of
value to hat-chested, round-shouldered and
veak-lunged people. If the means utilized
in this invention shall induce the full, deep
respiration of which so many people are ab-
solutely ignorant, 1t will prove welcome
addition 10 our hygienic appliances. The
device is a small belt or cord which encir-
cles the chest at the point of its greatest ex-
pansion, and take-up mechanism to which
the ends of the belt or cord are attached
The take-up mechanism consists of coiled
spring. adapted to tighten the belt at inter-
walls, and a train of wheels. by which
the speed of the spring in taking up
the belt may be regulated. Upon
the exhalation OF the breath, after
the full expansion of the lungs, the chest re-
turns to the size natural to 1t in ordinary
breathing, thus leaving the belt loose. I'm
medlately the take-up mechanism begins to
gather in the slack of the belt, which it
continues to gather, and finally 1t tichtens
the belt about the chest, until the pressure
is uncomfortable to the wearer, and compels
him to take another full inspiration. thus
lengthening the belt This Iencthen;ue is
accomplished by the withdrawal OF the strap
from the case, which act again coils the
spring. The spring in turn, when the
breath is exhaled and the chest resumes its
natural size, again begins to gather up the
slack of the belt. These processes are con-
tinued as long as the device is worn. 1t is
claimed that the use OF the device induces
full breaths at intervals, and thus naturally
strengthens and enlsrges the lungs and
chest

Economy in Cookery.

There Is no process of cooking which re-
quires so much care and is SO often neg
lected as boiling. This is the most extrava-
giant method Of cooking any meat if the
water in which the meat is cooked is not
utilized as stock, Of necessity no meat can
be boiled without losing some of its nour-
ishing qualities and enriching the water in
which it is cooked. The French process of
braising, by means of which meat is closely
covered and slowly boiled in a stock which
becomes gradually absorbed by the meat, is
the only one by which the meat does not
suffer actual loss. There should be slight
ebullition at the edge of the pot, nothing
more. This ebullition should be kept up
steadily until the meat is tender, and no
longer, as nothing is more injurious to any
boiled dish than to allow the boiling to stop,
or to cook it after it is done.

Reform in Railway Construction.

Oberlin Smith, in summarizing the vari-
Gus elements which are likely to enter into
the coming reform in railway construction,
says that the locomotive is probably destined
to be supplanted by electro motors attached
to the car axles; the weight Of even the
lightest cars, supplemented by that of the
passengers, being ample for tractive pur-
poses. The speeds attainable would be per-
haps two or three times greater than can be
reached with the present car of Juggernaut
as pulling machine. In regard to the actual
tightening of the cars themselves, it is possi-
BILE that future designers may, after per-
sistent study and experiment, put into she
best possible shape, for strength and light
ness, some combination OF steel, aluminu N,
india rubber, leather and paper which will
make more scientific car than the joint
product of the foundryman, coach builder,
house carpenter and upholsterer that is at
present in use. Electric cars are now run
ming with a total dead weight per capita of
less than 600 pounds when but half loaded.
There can be no question about the practi-
cability of reducing this weight to 900
pounds, and 1t seems probable that, with the
refnements of construction above indicated,
we may at some time get these figures down
to 400 pounds or lower. II it shall prove
practicable to use rubber tires upon the
wheels we may expect, not only very high
speeds, but an almost ideal smoothness of
motion. We shall then look back, Mr..
Smith says, to the railway car of to-day and
find that its construction and action CON-
pare with those OF the new vehicle somewhat
as a navvy's wheelbarrow compares with q
Iady's tricycle..

WQT-GTuO. Dull Two large pictures
(From Photography of his two favorite po-
nies, Dry Camp and Never Fret, which so
pleased the old chief that he said he would
like to present him with something in re-
turn for the compliment. Noticing large
war-club hanging up in the chiefs tepee,
Mr.. Post said he would like to have it.
Sitting Bull mentioned the fact that the
club was an old relic, had been in service
over 40 years passed through numerous bat
ties, and because of its curiosity he would
give it to him.
The club is vicious looking weapon,
about 21S feet long, with a buffalo horn
firmly secured in the club or heavy end, and
bears the signs of having seen large
amount of service. Mr.. Dic1erson has the
necessary credentials to prove'conclusively
that the club was the only one ever used by
Sitting Bull, and that it is the one used by
this chief during his career. Mr.. Dickerson
recently received two different communica-
tions from the Smithsonian Institution, at
Washington, D. G., relative to the purchase
of the relic but has not yet disposed of it.

Device for Stopping Runaways.

An ingenious contrivance has been de-
yised which, when attached to vehicle,
will stop runaway horse or speedily arrest
vicious or frightened animal. 1t consists
of a removable sleeve which acts in con-
junction with central pulley and side
levers, which are under the immediate con-
troll Of the driver, and by which an instant
rearwarj revolution of the central pulley
can be effected. A substantial band,
preferably of leather, is secured around the
central pulley and extends forwardly, its ex-
tremity having lateral straps attached to it
and also to the bits of the horses, so that the
revolution in direction away from the
horses will shorten the band and pull the
heads OF the horses downward and rearward
IN forcioie manner, throwing the animals
upon their launches and quickly arresting
their forward movement. Provision is also
made for automatically locking the central
pulley, 50 taat the tension Of the horses will

A Novel Door.

A novel door, specially intended for the
economy of space. has just been patented.
The door is an adaptation of :he principle
of the roller-top desk and cover, and con-
sists of series of Stats about one and ONE
half inches wide and three-quarters of an
inch thick, Joined together by wooden spin
dies, one revolving within another. In the
rolier-top desk the stats are Joined by rib
bons of steel or canvas. When the door is
opened it is wound upon q spiral drum at
top and bottom, and all is enclosed within
the door casing. A three-foot door winds
up in a roll seven inches in diameter. Or
dinarily three-foot coor occupies about IA
square feet in swinging, and the new rolling
door enables the builder to economize all
that space.

THE WAR ON DISEASE.
No Prediction Too Extrayagant in
Light of Recent Events.
DIR. FLTNT'S HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
An Automatic Contrivance for Bringing
Down Runaway Horses.
NEW WAY OF ENLARGING THE LUNGS
rpRKpAREp FOR THR DIsPArcH.l l


DR.. Austin Flint about two years ago
published an article on "a Possible Revo-
luton in Medicine" in which he said:
''Tbe science and practice of medicine and
surgery are undergoing revolution Of such
magnitude and importance that its limits
can hardly be conceived. Looking into the
future in the light of recent discoveries, it
does not seem impossible that time may
come when the cause of every infec-
tious disease will be known; when ali such
diseases will be preventable or easily cura-
bic; when protection can be afforded against
all diseases, such as scarlet fever, measles,
yellow fever, whooping cough, etc., in which
one attack secures immunity from such con-
taglon; when. in short, no constitutionald dis
ease will be incurable and such scourges as
epidemics will be unknown"
1t would certainly seem that this predic-
tion is on the eve of verifcation. DR.. Flint
now returns to the subject, and reviews the
ground covered by the Koch experiments,
which are supposed to be in course of con-
tinuation and extension for the purpose of
finding cure for typus and typhoid, scarlet
fever, measles and diphtheria. 1t is possi-
BILE that the line of research to be adopted
will be in the direction of finding special
poison, produced bv mlcro-organlsms pecu-
liar to each infectious disease, which will
act upon these micro-organisms and the dis
eased parts as the curative lymph has been
found to act upon tubercle bacllh and tuber-
culous tissue
Based on this supposition, DR.. Flint
hazards another speculation as to develop
ments in medicine that NAV soon be looked
for. 1t is shown to be possible that in the
near future many curative lymphs will be
discovered. each produced by the special
miero-organism of a particular disease. 1t
will not, considering what has recently
been accomplished by DR.. Koch, be too
much to expect that these agents will
promptly arrest the different diseases to
which they are applicable. For example,
the typhoid lymph. the diphtheritic lymph,
the lymph for measles, that for scarlet
fever and so on, will promptly arrest these
diseases and save patients from the degenera-
tions and the accidents which are liable to
occur when morbid processes are allowed to
run their course; and convalescence will be
prompt, because the diseases will not have
produced damage which can be repaired
only bv time. Truly" DR.. Flint says,
''thiS would be revolution in medicine,
and it now seems to be impending"

All He Has to Do Is to Press the Button, 1t
Does the Rest.
New York Herald.
The most curious pipe of the year is the
lazy mans pipe. As its name expresses,
this is pipe requiring the minimum OF ex-
ertion to use it. Naturally, it is of a some
what complicated design, consisting of a
tube to hold the tobacco, and stem run
ming crosswise of this for the mouth. The
pipe is held by passing the two first fingers
of the hand through two rings, one on either
side OF the bowl stem, and the mouthpiece
being placed in the mouth, the pressure of a
small valve that lies lust under the thumb
sets the ingenious mechanism inside to work,
and the smoke Is forced automatically into
the mouth.
1t is more than probable that this pipe
will be taken up by the medical profession
for use in throat and lung disease.

Tin From DYE Waters.

A prize has been given in France by the
Society for the Encouragement of National
Industry, for a process for recovering tin
contained in the wash of water from silks
which have been treated with bichloride OF
tin, for the purpose of giving weight! By
adding milk of lime to the water. and by
properly agitating, the tin settles down in
few hours in the state of oxide, which can
be readily collected and disposed of.
