1883 81. -
The first batch OF convicts were sent to
Sakhalin in 1869. They marched AGO
miles across Sibcr a, and more than half
the number persisted by the way, while
those who arrived were halfrotten with
scuryy. while some had become helpless
imbecilcs. At the present day the convicts
are sent from Odessa by ships, but their
sufferings, while shorter, are so terrible
that the poor wretches say they would pre-
fer the march overland. The governor of
the island has absolute power OF Ii e and
death in his hands, and as with all Russian
governors, brutal tyranny would seem to
be his motto. The conyicts labor in heavy
chains, which are never removed, and the
least act OF INSTRUMENTATION is punished
with death. 1t appears that one of the
great inducements for the Government to
send its victims 10 Sakhalin. apart from the
certainty Of their dying soon, was the ap-
parent impossiblity of escape
But an official report publ shed few
years ago stated that something like
16 per cent OF the prisoners got
clear OF the prisons. Many OF these
are captured, however by the natives, who
are encouraged thereto by the offer OF re-
ward. If the prisoner is returned alive the
carturer gets ten rouble if dead the price
is five roublcs. Rifles have been distribut-
ed by the administration amongst the ma
lives, who are warned to shoot the escaped
prisoners down if they show the slightest
resistance, and as death is p efcrablc to re-
C pturc, which would sub ect them TO bar

palling difficulties and risks, some o! them
do get clear entirely by reaching the coast,
making a rough raft, and floating out to
sea. where they have the chance of being

the apparition was not to be got rid

to unfold the secrets of it's prison

as she was placing the dinner on the

to ask it what it wanted. 1t replied
that many years before death my
wife's father had acquired several
town lots in Philadelphia, which were
now quite valuable, and that the deed
of the same could be found in an old
copy of "Plutarch's Lives of which
he was very fond. We hunted up the

NEW CURE FOR PNEUMONIA.
A Healthy Mans Blood Injected
Into the Svstaro of a Suffarar

A Healthy Mans Blood Injected
Into the System of Sufferer,
A novel operation was performed q
few days ago at the Philadelphia
hospital by Visiting Physician w. E.
Huges in the presence of the resident
staff and nurses, and the result has been
so favorable that it isnow the opinion
OF the medical men interested that q
new and immediate cure for pneu-
monia has been discovered. The
operation consisted in O. patient who
was recovering from the disease being
bled and his blood being infused into
the arm OF the sufferer. The patient
on whom the operation was performed
WAS white man who had been brought
in by the district surgeons. The con-
vllescent from whom blood was ex-
tracted was q colored man. In des-
cribing the operation the New York
World says: -.
An incision was made in the white
mans upper arm, and one OF the
veins was isolated for about an inch.
After it had been bound and the
natural flow OF blood stopped, q slit
was made in it and q glass tube with
wide aperture was inserted. Then
about a pint OF blood, extracted
from the arm of the colored man, was
poured in. Gravity carried it into
the veins, and soon the blood was
coursing through the mans body. In
order that the body should not be
supercharged with blood a similar
amount was extracted previous to the
operation. This was black and un-
healthy looking, while the bloodin-
fused was of bright red color.
After the operation the mans tenn
perature arose, and symptoms similar
to those that were noticed after the
Koch lymph injection followed. In a
few hours, however, change for the
better set in. The mans temperature
was normal and apparently he is a
we'll man. According to the theory

A Pennsylvania LiVeryman Who
Owns a Red-WhIte-and Blue
Roadster.
Ambrose Jolhfe, the Hestonville,
Pa, livery stable-keeper, has what IS
probably the most remarkable horse
in the United States, and his one
sorrow, according to the Philadelphia
record, is that the park commission
crs will not permit the animal to be
driven through their beautiful do
main. The horse is q middle-aged,
well-proportioned Kentucky gelding,
about years old, and once upon q
time was as white as q snow drift at
the north pole.
Two years ago a young medical
student, who was studying at the
University OF Pennsylvania, and
boarded at Mr.. Jollife' residence, sug-
gested that in honor of the Fourth of
July Dashaway the gelding's name be
decorated in the natural colors. He
told Mr.. Jollife that he had two harm
less dyes which would soon fade out,
and pointed out what q unique and
sensational horse Dashaway could be
Transformed into by an artistic use
OF the dyes. As Mr.. Jollife was agree
able, the student boiled his dyes and
with large brush stained the
horses head, neck and fore
legs q bright crimsonish red, the
''barre" was left white, and the tlanks
and hind legs were stained q brilliant
blue. The effect was so exquisitely
beautiful that Mr.. Jollife and his
family drove about the vicinity Of
HestonviIle every afternoon showing
Dashaway to their fri nds, and, save
for the fact that many of the horses
they met tried with more or less sue
cess to run away when the red -white-
and-blue equine met their affrighted
gaze, the cup of the Jollife's family
happiness would have been filled to
the brim. The excitement in the park
was so great that strict orders were
given to the guards to keep the patri-
artic horse out OF the great pleasure
ground.
Dashaway has been freshly died
twice since his original decoration,
and the Hestonville horses have now
grown accustomed to his spectacular
appearance. But life is not what it
should be for Mr.. Jollife on account Of
the park commissioners rule barring
Dashaway from the privileges OF their
domain,

A Chean Dinner.

Venice is a cheap city, especially if you
dine with the people in the fish kitchens
of the Street of the Smiths There you
get a slice of smoking polenta as broad
as a gondolier's palm and somewhat
thicker for a penny. Another penny
will, if fish be abundant, as it generally
is, buy plateful of very palatable fry.
Add to this a third penny for half a
liter of wine, and the bill is told.
There is no doubling the nutrition in
such meal. The faces of the clients of
the shops in the Street of the Smiths are
plump and hearty, and the clients them
selves are not famishingly impatient to
be served when there is a crush, as there
often is of an evening, when such work
as Venice does is mostly at an end.-Al

The question as to the fatigue of
metals under long continued stress has
been tested and it is believed, satisfac
torily settled in the treatment of two
similar suspension bridge links and the
results obtained. A square iron link 10
inches wide. | inch thick and about -
feet long was taken from a bridge at
Kieff, Russia. then about forty years old,
and tested against similar link which
had lain unused in store ever since the
building of the bridge Under these
circumstances the means of comparison
were considered in the highest degree
favorable, and the result necessarily of
a reliable character in determining
whether or not iron actually loses, and
to what extent, any of its strength in pro-
longed service.
The effect of the test showed for the
old used link an ultimate tensile strength
of 21.S tons per square inch, an elastic
limit of Ill tons per square inch, an
elongation of f4.5 per cent, and a con-
traction of 1875 per cent. at the point of
fracture. In the case Of the unused link,
the tensile strength was found to be 22.2
tons per square inch, with an elastic
limit of 11.9 tons, and an elongation and
contraction at fracture Of 1912 per cent.
and 1878 per cent, respectively. From
this it appears, therefore, that the two
pieces of iron were Of practically identi-
cal strength--the small difference actual
ly observed being well within the ordi-
nary range Of variability Of similar pieces
of such metal. New York Sun.
