Petroleum For pIphthsr,a.

In the village Of Neuville- Champ-d'Oi-
sci, about nine miles from Roucn. a ma
lignant type Of diphtheria broke out last
year. The country doctor, M. Frederic
Flahaut, treated the cases In the usual
way, but tho deaths We're numerous.
Remembering, us he says, that the Eng
lish use petroleum as ah antispasmodic
and an antiseptit, he determined to try
u al an experiment. His first trial was
In the case Of little girl Z years old.
He had already given her up and pro-
posed to the parents to make the expert
ment. which consisted in swabbing the
throat with common petroleum. He had
little hope of the success of his new
method, but to his establishment he no
ticed an improvement after the very first
application. He continued the treat
ment, and the child recovered. Then I've
tried it successfully with his other pa,
tients.
This year he had 40 cases Of diphthcria
to treat, and he was successful in every
one. In order to be perfectly sure that

bf malignant diphtheria he had the ex-
perforated matter submitted to the anal

Rouen College of Medicine, and the pro
lessor reported that he had clearly dis
covered the presence in it Of numerous
bacilli of diphtheria. Moreover. his IL
agnosis was confirmed by Drs. Deshayes,
Lerefait and Ballay of Rouen, the last
named being the physician in chief Of
the hospital of that city.
The treatment presents little difficulty
or danger. The swabbing is done every
hour or every two hours, according to
the thickness Of the membranes, which
become, as 1t were, diluted under the ac-

The Youngest 'originAi."

/ saw yesterday the most remarkable
photograph ever made of human being.
It was photograph Of the youngest per
son that ever had picture taken. The

minutes after her birth her photograph
was taken. Twas disappointed to learn
that the smiling man who holds little

ter county. The happy father was the
photographer. Mr.. Kivlan is the pro
prietor Of gallery, and his family live
on the same floor.
As soon as the bit of brand new hu.
mainly could be wrapped in flannel
and placed In a little basket the doctor,
acting upon thought which came to
him suddenly, called to Mr.. Kivlan, who
had just stepped into an adjoining room
"Come, John, hurry up. I've got an
idea."
AT this Mr.. Kivlan returned. when the
doctor said:
"Now, if you want to break the record
in taking young children, get out your
camera. rllhold the baby, and you SNAP
her."
No sooner said than the father rushed
across the hallway and soon returned
with his apparatus. Again he rushed
out, and this time returned with cloud
background, saying:
"Well use this. It will look as If she
just dropped from them"
The result of these hurried prepare
lions is an excellent portrait of tho child
when only between seven and eight min
utes old-or young. This picture shows
little Clare taking the first yawn of her
life.-Boston Globe.

Making Marble On, Of ch.,..

In nature marble is made out of chalk
by water, which percolates through the
chalky deposits, dissolves the chalk par
ticle by particle and crystallizes it, noun
tain pressure solidifying it. 1t has been
found that similar results may be &C.
complished by chemical means. First.
slices of chalk are dipped in color
bath. staining them with tints that will
initiate any kind of marble known. For
this purpose the same mineral stains are
used as are employed in nature. For
example, to produce counterfeit verde
antique" oxide of copper is utilized. In
like manner green, pink. black and other
colorings are obtained. Next. the chalk
slices go into another bath, by which
they are hardened and crystallized. COM
ing ont to all intents and purposes real
marble.-London Science Siftings.

The Swimmers.

If one were asked where the best
swimmers in this country are found, he
would probably reply, "On the Atlantic
coast" Yet he would be mistaken.
The swimming experts are those who
learned the art in tho interior states in
fresh water. It is 80 much more diff
cult to keep ones self at the surface in
fresh water that when the country lad,
who learned to swim in the shallow lit
tie creek or river inland, comes to try his
powers in the dense water of the sea he
floats like duck and distances the salt
water boys without trouble.
It has been observed that the people of
the south and southwest very generally
can swim, while the greatest number Of
persons who cannot are found in New
England. Why is it? One would hard
ly guess at first that the reason is mat
ter of climate. In spite of the fact that
Newport and Bar Harbor and Old Or
chard beach are on the New England
coast, the waters of that coast are too
cold for the swimmer to remain in them
with comfort for any length of time.
Hours of soaking do not seem to injure
one in the warm waters of the gulf and
southern Atlantic states. but in Maine
and Massachusetts, little of it really
goes good ways.
What we started out to say, however,
was this: Learn to swim this summer
If you do not already know how, wheth-
er you are man, woman, boy or girl.
The drowning season is in full sweep.

rage he has duly observed and kept his mar,
rage covenants, but that the said Emily has not,

Eat nnnanns an.l Turn E,rnnc,ta.

Those who cat heartily OF l,anai.9s ma.
run so:nc risk of becoming tawny %
copper colorcd. This may lie inferred
possibly from the peculiaritios Of plum
age in the turacos OF Africa. As long
as the weather is dry these birds are gay
the primary and secondary feathers be-
ibg gorgcously crimson, but when rain
comes the color is washed ont, and the
birds seem to be Inundated and ashamed
at the transformation. But the color
returns in dry weather. The cause Of
the coloration has been traced to copper
in very pure state. A single feather
burned gives the characteristic indica-
ton. The source of the turacin has now
been traced to bananas, on which the
turacos feed chiefly. All the aboriSines
who make bananas diet are very deep
ly tinted, but Che color is sooty rather
than red The North American Indian
cannot owe his corpery hue to bananas
He has only known of this fruit ON reser.

THE hTTLE ARMCHAIR.
Nobody sits in the little armchair;

Nobody ats in the little armchair;
II stands In corner dim,
But white haired mother gazing there
And yearhingly thinking of him
Sees through the dusk Of the long ago
The bloom Of her boys sweet face
As he rocks so merrily TO and ftv
With laugh that cheers the place.
Sometimes he holds book In his hand.
Sometimes pencil and slate,
And the lesson Is hard to understand,
And the figures hard TO mate,
But she sees the nod of his fathers head,
So proud of the little son,
And she hears the word so often said,
mo fear for our little one"
They were wonderful days, the dear, sweet
days,
When child with sunny hair
Was hers to scold, to kiss and to praise
At her knee In the little chair.
She lost him back In the busy years
When the great world caught the man,
And no strobe away past hopes and fears
To his place In the battles van.
But now and then In a wistful dream,
Like picture out Of date,
She sees head with q golden CLEAN
Bent over pencil and slate,
And abe lives again the happy day,
The day OF her young life's spring,
When the ANAL armchair stood Just in tn,
way,
The center Of everything.

American Ar, :. the nrposi,ion.


The wonderful art gallery at the Co
umbian exposition gives rare opportun'
lty to compare the work of different ma
lions in picture and sculpture making.
It shows plainly how each nation has in
art characteristic style OF Its own,
which can be seen at glance much
more satisfactorily than it can be put
into words. French painters, for in
stance, display in their work delicate,
dreamy light and shading that contrast
finely with the firm, bold, though per-
haps somewhat hard touch q the Brit
ish artist. 1t may be MENTIONED in a
general way, and excepting certain Eng
lish pictures such as the Forging of the
Anchor" that the French pictures are
more admired by the public than those
Of Great Britain.
II is in the work of our own country,
however, that our people are most in
terested. The American visitor to the
fair always inquiries first for the Ameri-
can exhibit if his time is SO limited that
he cannot see all. 1t lisa credit to his
patriotism.
But the truth must be told. The
American picture display at the exposi-
ton is inferior to those from other great
countries. In the department Of sculp-
ture our artists show up more credita-
bly, than in painting. Their marbles
compare favorably in execution with
those from the most artistic nations OF
Europe. Enthusiasm and careful study
are shown In the working out Of their
idea.
1t is in the idea itself, however, both
in sculpture and painting, that our Amer
lean artists are lacking. Workmanship
is superior to design with them. 1t is
evident that American art has not yet
found its national channel of develop
ment. In no country of the globe are
there grander subjects for artistic illus
tration, both in nature and in our his
tory. Natural scenery, Indian life, the
Revolutionary war, the civil war furnish
themes and episodes that would have
been immortalized over and again by
the artists of any nation in Europe.
Our native painters and sculptors most
ly ignore these grand themes and elab-
crate some work from stupid old myth
| ology or a scene from European history.
In art as in life I'VE rise BY The things
that ere under our feet" Until Ameri
can painters and sculptors realize this
in their own souls we shall never have a
distinctive school of American art-only
skillful copyists.
