The death of George Sydney Perciyal
on the LIST nlt. cut short career Of
unusual promise. With what seemed
at times almost genius for mechanics,
love Of study, and conscientious de-
votion 10 his work, regardless Of time
or personal comfort, Perciyal at the
age Of %, and with only two years
practical experience, had won the CON
tidence Of one Of the principal engineer
ing firms in the country, being
intrusted by il with novel designing as
well as the erection Of costly steam
plants. He was a member Of the
American Society Of Mechanical Engi-
neers, also the First Battalion Naval
Reserve, and graduate of the Colun.-
bia College School of Mines, Scienti-

A water weight RAILROAD.

A novel form Of inclined railway has
been built at Bridgenorth, England. It
connects the upper and lower parts of
the town, communication between
which was formerly provided by means
of steps cut in the solid rock. The
length of the track is only POI feet, but
its vertical rise is Ill feet. There are
two cars, on separate lines of rail, and
they are connected by a steel cable pass
ing round wheel at the top. They
are thus balanced, and preponderat-
ing weight is given, whichever one is
at the top, by pumping a supply of
water into tank placed in the frame
Of the car. The steel rails are bolted
to the solid rock and also embedded in
concrete. The brakes are normally on
the wheels, and motion is only possible
while the brakesman turns the handle.
The track is cut out Of the solid rock,
so that il shall not spoil the beauties
of the landscape.

Germs have been found by various
investigators in the blood and secre-
tions Of patients suffering from measles.
None, however, have been certainly
proved TO be active agents in the pro-
duction OF the disease, Very recent in
vestirations are those of Canon and
pirliclle Of Berlin. and they are re-
ported in the Berliner Klinische Woch-
enschrift for April Is. There seems
ground for the belief that the germ
they have discovered is the active cause
OF the disease 1t is bacillus varying
considerably in length and appearance
under different conditions 1t was
found in the blood of fourteen patients
sielS with measles. A similar germ
was also found in the sputa and the
nasal secretions. II was present dur
ing the whole course of the disease, and
occasionally for two on three days after
nctivc symptoms had disappeared, II
was most abundant at the time of
lefcrvescence. In seven cases in which
active symptoms had disappeared, but
in which the rash had not wholly
faded. the bacillus could not be discov-
cred. This bacillus is undoubtedly diff
ferent from any germ yet described in
connection with measles. 1t is TO be
hoped that the belief of the discoveries
will soon be confirmed by the invcsti'
gntions of others. New York Medical
