New Teeth for All.

A Russian dentist claims to have dis
covered a new method of supplying people
with artificial teeth, which in the course
of time become as good as natural teeth
He first experimental upon dogs, aud
then upon his private customers, aud IN
all cases the results were identical aud
successful. The teeth are made OF gutta
percha, porcelain or metal, according to
the pleasure OF the patient. The root of
the false tooth has holes bored into it,
and then holes bored into the jaw AMI
the tooth to be inserted. In short time
tender growths start in the cavity of the
false teeth, aud this growth hardening
the teeth become fixed in their positions.
They can also be fitted to the roots of
natural teeth that have been cut off short
with the gums. There are some inconsis
tencias in the descriptions given by tho
dentist aud it may be that the whole re-
suit will prove as false as his newly made
teeth. Further details and experiments
are needed before the practice can be
made popular in this country.

MEXIC0'S REVOLUTION.

Catarino CARA Attacks the Guerrero Gus.
ton-House and is Repalsed.
There can no longer be any doubt thst
Catarino CARA has opened the revolutionary
ball in Mexico in earnest. AS stated the
Mexican troops had brush with the reyolu
tionists near Guerrero. and it was reported
that Garza's forces we're routed.
dispatch was received stating that Cara
made an attack on Guerrero and was only
driven off after e gubborn resistance on the
part OF the Mexican garrison. In the conflict
ore Mexican officer was killed and another
wounded. The loss on Garza's side is moi
definitely known.
The fact IS evident that the insurgents have
been quietly increasing their force and now
have begun an active campaign. 1t is further
stated in a d spaieh received from Rio Grande
City that h revclutionis,s are well armed
and have many sympainizcrs among the Mexi-
cans.
A special 10 the St. Louis Republic from
San Antonio, Tex, says: News has just
reached here that resosutioaist Caieriao
Cara, At the head his band, attacked the
Custom-house at Guerrero, Mexico, and was
repulsed with loss Of life. NJ further details
are obtainahle."

BRAZIL REPORTS DIFFER.
Official Dispatches Say All is Quiet
and Tranquil
kilograms from Buenos Ayres and San.
tiago EecIare That Dissentions Pre-
vail ana the States Are Seeding.


vail ana the States Are Seeding.
The news from Brazil continues TO be of the
most conflicting character. The official de-
spatches from Rio de Janeiro assert with un-
equivoeal Positiyeness that the country is
absolutely tranquil, while the kilograms from
Buenos Ayres and Santiago report Brazil torn
with dissensions and secessions. What the
actual facts Of the situation are will probably
not be definitely known until mail adyices
are received. The censorship prevents de,
spatches unfavorable to the authorities from
get ing through direct to Europe TO Braz l..
1T is difficult to understand how such
dispatches are allowed TO reach Buenos AyEes
or Santiago, Chill.
The last official despatch received in London
from the Foreign Office at Rio de Janeiro de-
elares that complete tranquility prevails
everywhere throughout the country, with the
Exception of the state of Rio Grande Go Sui
In no pert of the country is there any demand
dor secession from the Brazilian union.
The state of Rio Grande do Sui has not
seeded. The troubles there are entirely of a
local character, They are not due 10 any de-
sire of the state TO sever its connection with
the rest of the country, but owe their origin
ito political differences and discussions be-
tween the old parties, into which the people
sof that state have been divided.
The despatch adds that the government of
the state f Rio Grande do Sui is now in the
hands of provisional junta, ard that this
solution of affairs meets with general appro-
baton on the part OF the citizens ofthe state
1t is inferred from this last statement that
4he authorities OF Rio regard the junta as in
sympathy with the central government of the
republic. But this theory is directly contra
dieted by other dispatches. These declare
that the provisional junta in authority in Rio
lGrande do Sui has taken absolute control of
things. II holds undisputed possession of the
capital of the state, and claims to have an
army of 80, 600 men ready jor the field. These
men are said to be fully equipped with rifles
The junta is weak in artillery, having only
four field guns. 1t is also deficient in war
ships. Its navy consists of a single river
vessel of the monitor type, which is armed
with one seventy-f ouud cannon and a single
machine gun.
