A Newspapers Battle With Death.
NEW YORK. January 30.-The New York
Recorder some time ago offered 81 900 for a
cure for consumption. In to-day's issue it
announces its confidence that such cure
has been discovered. DR.. W. r. Amick, the
author of the cure has been conducting
twelve tests of his treatment under the aus
pices of The Recorder The reported results
thus far have been remarkable. The Re-
coroer to-day announces that the complete
treatment with medicines sufficient for ten
days preliminary trial will be furnished free
to each physician and sufferer from lung
troubles throughout the United States who
writes to the Amick Chemical Co. 166 w.
7th street, Cincinnati. The offer is made, the
Recorder says, in order to obtain evidence
corroborating its own test cases and the an
nouncement Is creating a greater furore than
the publication of Koch's alleged cure.

pleted with the exception of having her tur-

will set sail at once from San Francisco 70

Surgeons and sword fish too big to
stretch their legs in the aquarium tanks
are the last distinguished arrivals in
the Fisheries building. They were
dumped into the lagoon about the GEN.
tral fountain, where they are now at
home to visitors. Some of them are big
enough to eat babies with the ease
of a Ganges crocodile. The other new
comers are long chaps with tusks for
teeth and cruel looking jaw sand pecul-
lar freaks that both swim and walk,
spelling their weary fins with trip on
stubby legs. Deep sea toads, big enough
to furnish steaks and family roasts, sit
sulkily on the clammy bottoms of the
tanks of brine, with strange monsters
for companions. This last collection
makes the aquarium complete. How
ever, the plan is to keep the special
cars constantly in transit to bring new
creatures and more of tho old ones
each trip.
The aquarium is not large enough to
accommodate the crowds. The popu-
larity of the exhibit has exceeded ex-
pectation. 1t is now among the favor
ties, with the interest increasing daily.
Some enthusiasts are working to have
this feature also made permanent as a
park attraction when the exposition is
closed.

Some Of the Singular sights to Be Seem

There Is no more interesting sight
in all Europe than the catacombs Of
Rome" said writer to a St. Louis
Glohe-Demoorat reporter. "One can
sec the ordinary routine sights of them
any day for q small sum of money, and
they are well worth visiting. I fancy,
however, that saw something a great
long way from the ordinary while on
my visit there. Last August was in
Rome and paid q visit to the catacombs
alone. I did not care for company, as
such sights always appeal more effec-
lively to mo when there is no one
along to comment on them.

vessel Blake and incidentally of the
caravels. The Erie canal route was
found to be impracticable, by reason Of
the fact that several stationary bridges
were SO low that the caravels could not
pass beneath them, even were the
masts removed. The possibilities of the
St. Lawrence route were canvassed,
and now arrangements are being made
to send the caravels to Chicago by that
route. ~
The navy department has solicited
bids from towing companies for towing

more than two thousand miles long,
