Ayesr ago it was deemed advisable TO introduce

had been said by the physicians in favor OF the
great remedy. Indeed, many friends, contributors
and workers for the home, had themselves used

MORE BRITISH NAVAL FAILURES.

The Score or So "TOrpedO Catchers''
Prove Unable to Catch Anything.
From the London Pail Mall Gazette
One Of the most serious pieces of news in
connection with the naval maneuvers is re-
ported by the correspondent Of the Stand
ard. He states that when ordered to &C
company the royal sovereign at full speed
the torpedo catcher Niger could not steam
fourteen knots. Now the Niger is one of
the latest OF an immense class Of vessels,
nearly thirty in number, which has been
turned out by the admiralty to perform a
specific duty. The torpedo catchers are
small boats of from 700 to $50 TONS with en-
gines Of from l 500 to $500 horse power. They
are intended to be the British reply to the
very large force OF torpedo boats which the
French have placed in the channels and In
the Mediterranean. The Theory is that in
anything approaching to a sea-way they
will run down and destroy the fieetest tor
pedo boat.
Their speed is supposed to vary from nine
teen to twenty-one knots AS a matter of
fact the whole class, with scarcely an ex-
ceptfon, Is notorious and dismal failure.
Few OF the catchers can average sixteen
knots; many have failed to maintain an
even lower speed. Their tunnels become
red hot when the boilers are being pushed,
and tongues of flame from their furnaces
indicate their approach at night. The
French have many torpedo boats capable OF
set a vessel like the Niger to catch one Of
these boats would be like pursuing an ex-
press train in a hanson cab. 1t is to be
regretted that in building six ships of the
Hawk class, vessels of 215 tons and $500
horse power without trying one boat of the
series, the admiralty are repeating the fault
that has incumbered the navy list with
over a score of failures of the Niger type.

A Cent Coined in Gold.

From the Comm ercial Gazette.
A mint proof in gold of a copper cent is a
great rarity, but W. l.. Boyd of PA Spears
wharf, Baltimore, has in his possession a
gold proof of the first cent issued by the
United states government 1t is over loo
years old.
Under the confederation. on October 1s.
1Is6, Congress passed an ordinance for es-
tablishing mint and on July 6. 1857. the
first cents were coined, 300 hundred tons in
copper being ordered of James Jarvis, the
contractor. This coin was called the Fugio
cent because of the Inscription on il. The
diverse bore sun dial with the sun at
meridian, on one side of which was the
word ''Fugio," referring to the flight of
time. while on the other was the date, l7S7.
Below the dial was the legend. Mind Your
Business" from which the coin gained the
name Franklin cent" inasmuch as he was
said to have uttered that sententious re-
mark. The reverse bore n chain of thir-
teen links, each of which represented one
of the original states. In the center were
the words. I'VE Are One" surrounded by
a ring inscribed with the words United
States"
Mr. Boyd's gold cent is exactly as here
described, but there are seven varieties of
the FuSio coin, most of the differences be-
however. has the name of the country as

mole Plantation Terrified by the
ran OF One as Big as "a Hogxhead.
From the Americus. Ga, Times Recorder
j. h. Mattox, a well-known citizen of
simpson county. Miss, who owns an ex-
tehsVe farm eighteen miles southeast of
brandon, gives remarkable account of a
huge meteoric stone which fell near his res
idence on the night of July p.
Mr.. Mattox states that about 10 o clock
at night he went out into his BARNARD to
see that everything was right about his
premises. The night was somewhat cloudy
he had visited his barns. and was on the
| point OF returning to his house when all at
once ne heard peculiar kissing sound
overhead, and at the same instant a lumin-
GUS glow fell Sll around him, as If the moon
nao suddenly emerged from behind a cloud
he looked up, and was almost paralyzed
at the sight of brilliant fiery globe de-
scending through the air with the speed of
lightning. and shooting a comet-like tail
far up into the heavens. So rapid was the
descent that 1t was only visible for a Sec
e enfrsr edt IN that BRIEF space ne says he
The fire ball struck the earth with a duh
report scarcely 300 yards from where he
| stood.
1t was some minutes before he could re-
cover the use of his limbs when, running
hastily to his house, he aroused the family
\ and several laborers about the place, telling
them comet had struck the earth and
| they had only few minutes to pray. In a
short while the whole plantation was up.
and women and children were heard crying
| and supplicating heaven for mercy. They
could not get closer than about thirty yards
! on account of the heat and noxious fumes
! OF sulphur and gas which the stone emitted.
The stone sizzled and steamed and shot out
| jets Of steam or vapor from thousand
pores. By daylight 1t showed up a dull,
| dtngy black, and was full of pores, which
still shot out Jets of vapor Of an offensive
smell which almost stified. The stone is
| evidently imbedded in the ground for some
distance. and shows only about a foot above
| the surface.
| Mr.. Mattox estimates 1t to be about the
| size of a hogshead. There is no doubt
whatever Of the truth of this statement.
! The stone will be put on exhibition at Jack
son as soon as ii can be handled. Mr.. Mat
| tox hopes to realize q handsome sum for 1t
| from some of the great societies interested
| in meteoric collections. 1t is certainly the
| largest wanderer from the realms of space
| that ever found its way to earth.

Ejaculation for Yellow Fever.

From the NJ dfcal Record.
DIR. Domingos Freire. a distinguished
physician and scientist of Rio Janeiro, who
has made long and painstaking study of
yellow fever, claims to have discovered the
specific micro-organism of the disease, and
has prepared from cultures of this bacillus
a preventive vaccine by means of which he
believes that he can render unacclimated
individuals immune to yellow fever.
These claims have not received general
acceptance, and are fatty disputed by many,
among whom is Surgeon General Sternberg
of the United States army, who has studied
Freire's method in the latter's laboratory,
and rejects his alleged discovery of the mi
crobe of the disease as unproven. This re-
lection gave rise to much controversy, less,
perhaps. on the part of the principals than
on that of their followers, which Is even
yet unstilled. DR.. Freire has reassertcd mis-
last year, and only a few weeks ago an ac-
tive correspondence was going on in the
pages of contemporary between the
friends of one and the other party to the
dispute.
1t seems to US that here is an opportuni-
ty for DR.. Freire to prove the correctness of
his theory and the validity of his claims to
tne discovery or a preventive vaccine,
which will be far better and more convinc-
| ing than the shedding of gallons of ink.
Let him induce the Brazilian government
in an suspicious interval between revolu-
tons, to send him to Santos, with full au-
thority to practice his incubation upon all
who are willing to submit themselves to
the experiment, and as drowning men will
catch at StrawS the wretched SURVIVORS of
the plague in Santos will doubtless be only
too ready to take advantage of anything
that promises them immunity. Then let
Dr.. Freire go to the doomed city with his
assistants and establish his laboratory
there and vaccinate all who come
II he succeeds in rendering the remaining
inhabitants of the place proof against the
attacks of yellow fever. the plague will he
stamped out and the name of DR.. Domin-
COS Freire will go down the ages along with
that OF other great benefactors 10 the hu-
man race. And his fame will not be posthll-
nous, but he will have the happiness of
hearing his praises sung throughout the
in numbers to satisfy the most ambitious.
This is DR.. Freires opportunity, and our
only wonder is that he has not before this
