A PECULIAR CASE.
which Is Attracting the Attention of
Prominent Old World scientists.

"hich Is Attracting the Attention OF
Prominent Old World Scientists.
VIENNA, March 18.-Before the council
OF the Imperial Medical society n strange
case was produced Tuesday. The person
afflicted Is veteran soldier named Nandel.
who has been through several wars and is
the father of six children all in good health.
The man is A years old and cabby by
trade. Professor Marie, who has treated
him, lectured on the case.
Nandel is 6-footer and during the past
nine months it has been observed that his
ears, nose, tongue, chin, hands and feet are
constantly growing in proportion. His
nose is now one inch longer than IL
was Ayesr ago. The upper parts of his
ears have extended about as much, while
at the same time they have become hard
ened as IL consisting Of solid bone. His
chin Is very much elongated, his lips have
become thick and his tongue rubs itself
sore against the teeth. His right hand has
grown TO such an extent that it is now IL
centimeters broad in the middle, without
measuring the thumb. The middle finger
OF his right hand measures three cent?
meters at the base. The index finger IA as
broad as dollar, The feet of the man
are nearly 10 inches in length and his fore
arms Of unusual size.
The medical society will place him in an
Institution, SO that the physicians NAV
have his case under daily observation.
Professor Virchow in Berlin and Professor
Mobius in Leipsig have been advised of the
case and will come TO Vienna to view the
person.

willing TO bet dollars to doughnuts that
he can stop tornado in one round.
His plan is simple enough. A strong
iron band passes over the gables and
roof of the house, TO which il is firmly
bolted; the ends of the rod terminate in
loops which are buried in the ground
and carefully tackled down by large
wooden stakes, a mallet and the hired
man. AS a sort of additional precau-
ton small pyramidal house of refuge
Is attached, also a terrifying combina-
ton OF heavy anchors, sills and beams,
which the inventor believes win stand
eternally. In addition this amateur re-
formatory institution has infinite pos
sibilities as a summer house, hencoop
or sale manger for the pigs, which
will commend il at once to the intelli
gent agriculturist.

Thomas A. Edison has obtained a

action of carbon with chemical COM

WASHINGTON Cry, Feb. 9-Attorney
General Miller has filed a complaint a.. tn
United States circuit court for the district
of Massachusetts, at Boston against the
American Bell Telephone Company and
Emil Berliner. 1t is in thirteen para
graphs, and asks for the annuling of pat

and telephone. applied for by Berliner on
June 4, 1877, and issued November II. 1891.
to the American Bell Telephone Company
as Berliner's assignee. The grounds upon
which the application for annuiling the
patent is made are that the claims set up
IN the Berliner patent were covered by
previous patents issued TO the Bell COM
pany; that possession of the patent, if
valid, will continue to the Bell company
without substantial diminution during the
full term thereof, and that it is against
the spirit and intent of the patent laws
and against justice and equity that
monopoly of one and the same invention
shall be prolonged in one and the same
person by grant. first of patent or pat
ents for an invention in practical use and
applied for, and afterward of a patent COW

The complaint is presented by Robert s.
