The Navy Department is about
to begin the experimental use Of
paper boats, and for this purpose a
paper whaleboat gig has been pur.
chased from the Waters Paper Con.
struction Company. 1t will be put
aboard the next vessel fitted out at
the New York navy yard. This
boat effects q saving in weight Of
about 30 per cent over the ordinary
wooden boat of the same pattern,
and it is claimed to be equal to the
heavier wooden boat in every re-
spect and the cost is about the
same.

cry OF a means Of curing u disease which

indeed great; but the imagination al
nest fails 10 grasp the Importance Of
the method extended 10 other diseases
produced by micro-organisms. IL we
know the exact mechanism OF tho cure
for consumption, IL is certain that we
shall soon be able to successfully apply
this knowledge to tho study OF other
diseases. It is possible, in the light Of
what has recently been accomplished by
Koch, that in the near future many
curative lymphs will be discovered, each
produced by the special micro organism
Of each disease. It would then be not
too much to expect that these agents
would promptly arrest the different dis
eases to which they are applicable. For
example: Tho typhoid lymph, the
diptheric lymph, the lymph for measles.
scarlet fever, etc, would promptly arrest
these diseases and save patients from
the de~generations and the accidents
which are liable to occur when these
diseases are allowed to run their course;
and that convaicscence will be prompt
because the diseases have not produced
damage which can only be repaired by
time. Truly this would be Il revolution
in medicine, and it o seems to be i'm
pending"
Testimony from such a source will be
Of great cheer to suffering humanity.
