his ship laden with -four for famine suf-

they wished to show their appreciation.
When Captain Sargent returned home
from his trip he was accosted by re-
porter.
"What has become of your beard, cap

kers adorned his chin when he sailed.

CellulOid.

Culluloid, the composition of which
was long kept secret, has for some
years been largely employed for i'm
itating articles made Of horn, shell.
ivory and even marble. 1t has the
immense advantage that it can be
welded, melted, nodded and shaped
without difficulty, and it is for this
reason now largely employed for the
manufacture of walking stick han
dies, umbrella handles, piano keys,
etc. 1t has also been used for max.
ing rulers, set squares and other sim
liar instruments of precision, for it
has been shown that the expansion
of this substance is much more regu-
lar and uniform than that of wood,
and that errors previously unavoida-
BILE can be eliminated by it's use.
This industrial product, now indis-
pensable for a number of articles OF
everyday use, is simply made up OF
nitro-cellulose, camphor and water.

A Unique Appeal for Mercy.

Ex-Governor Taylor tells story
of how he saw a man come before
the governor of state with a rude
fiddle poor convict had fashioned
with his pocketknife and sent to the
custodian of the pardoning power as
his only appeal for mercy. Christ
mas eve was approaching, and away
up in the mountains stood a little
cabin. The fire on the hearth was
almost gone. The little children,
ragged and unfed, chung about a
weeping and disconsolate mother,
and the day which should bring
peace and joy to all promised only
sorrow and wretchedness.
The governor received the simple,
rough fiddle, which was a more elo-
quent plea in its makers behalf than
any human tongue could have made.
The records were looked up, and on
Christmas day there was rejoicing in
a little home over a husband and
father restored to his family.-Louis-

The Great Western Railway company
has now a new train running between
London and Birkenhead, which is called
the corridor train. Its distinguishing
feature is corridor along the side, run
ming the whole length of the train Gao
feet), with flexible gangway connection
between the carriages. As the train is
designed for long distance journeys,
with few stoppages, toilet rooms are
provided for all classes Of passengers.
In each class of carriage there is large
smoking saloon provided, and special
compartments are set apart for ladies
adjoining the ladies toilet rooms. The
train is warmed throughout by steam
from the locomotive, the supply Of which
can be regulated by the guard.
TO call the guard in case Of emergen-
Cy, an electric bell is fitted in the brake
van, which may be rung by pressing an
ordinary push button in each compart-
ment throughout the train. In addition
there is the cord outside the carriage,
which on being pulled stops the train
almost instantaneously. The train,
which has been designed by Mr.. Dean
the chief engineer at Swindon, pos
sesses the best points Of the American
through communication cars, with the
pSivacy of separate compartments 50

DIR. Leicester, of Bristol, England,
has been studying the growth of
seeds in earth artifcially electrified.
A box three feet long by nearly three
wide was filled with choice soil. At
one end a zinc plate and at the other
end a copper one were placed, and
were united outside by a copper
wire. They were about one foot
square. By the chemical action on
the zinc plate, a current passed
through the earth toward the copper
plate, and returning by the copper
wire made circuit. The box was
thus very simple cell or battery.
Seeds were sown in the soil be-
tween the plates, and their growth
was much more rapid than that of
similar seeds planted in similar
box, but one without the metal
plates.
Similar experiments made with
glass tanks filled with soil show sim
liar results. Hempseed, rsown in an
electrified glass tank, was fully an
inch high before any sprouts could
be seen in unelectrifed earth 1t
was found, too, that if the doctor
watered the soil with a little very
dilute acetic acid the growth was
much quicker in the electrified soil.

Old ComicaI Pictnres.

There is in the Museum of Turin,
Italy, a papyrus roll which displays
a whole series of comical scenes. In
the first place, a lion, a crocodile and
an ape are giving a vocal and instru-
mental concert. Next comes an ass,
dressed, armed and sceptered like a
Pharaoh. With majestic swagger
he receives the gifts presented to him
by cat of high degree, to whom a
bull acts as proud conductor. A lion
and gazelle are playing at checkers,
hippopotamus is perched in a high
tree and a horse has climbed into the
tree and is trying to dislodge him.

A WONDER or SCIENCE.

The Successful Use of an Electric Light
In a Surgical Operation.
One Of the most delicate surgical op.
srations ever performed in San Fran
cisco was that to which A. Baehm, a
patient at the City and County hospital,
was subjected recently. The operation
was remarkable in that an endoscope, or
small electric light, was used during the
process. This was thrust into the tho
racic cavity. and by its illumination the
action of the heart and lungs was plain
ly visible. This is the first case re-
ported on the Pacific coast where the
electric endoscope was used in difficult
surgery with beneficial results.
Baehm was afflicted with an abscess,
which mad formed in the pleural cavity
and al tackled the left lung. The opera
ton WAS an exceedingly dangerous one,
and in order not to shock the patient no
mention of the intention of the physi-
clans was made to him.
The sick man was quickly anBsthe-
tized and the inflated breast was exposed
20 view. A discoloration ON the left
side showed that the trouble lay under
the tissue in chat direction, and DR.. El-
linwood began operations at once by
making two deep incisions crosswise,
from which the blood spurted in streams.
Several of the larger blood vessels were
necessarily cut, but these were quickly
ligatured, with DR.. Stillman's assistance.
The flaps of flesh were laid to one side,
exposing the third rib to view. This
rib was resected for three inches, and
when it was cut away dark and bloody
opening was revealed, through which
the thoracic cavity and the space be-
tween the lungs could be seen. DR..
Hirschfelder inserted the endoscope
through the opening in Baehln's breast
and the light was turned on, illuminat-
ting the interior of the cavity with re-
markable distinctness.
The heart worked slowly, owing to the
effect of ether. The aorta dilated and
fell with every heart beat. The lung
was also plainly visible. During the one
hour and half consumed in making
the operation the action of the heart was
distinctly visible, and the unusual sight
was the subject of much comment upon
the part of the operators and spectators.
When the process was completed and
every vestige of pus removed, the endo-
scope was withdrawn and the opening
in Baehm's breast closed. The opera
tion was highly successful one in every
particular, and Baehm's condition shows
that he is gaining strength.-Electric-

intense stiffness that followed to

Clara: "Goodnessl How careless it
was to leave that boiler where it
would fall like that It's almost

to-day, and is justly proud of her son. -
Every member of the vast congrega-

placed upon his head, passed down from
the altar and paused in the center aisle
before the first pew. A tall, gray haired
woman rose to receive his first blessing,
The blessing done, she threw her arms
