SOME of the homeopathists who as
sembled recently In Worlds Fair
Congress in Chicago were decidedly
aggressive. One claimed that the
maximum proportionate death rate
among patients treated by members
of his school is never so high as the
minimum death rate among patients
subjected to treatment by the "regu-
lars, " and he cited figures to prove
this, leaning most confidently on sta
tistics compiled many years ago. An
other made the broad assertion that
medical science was not science
until Hahnemann founded the school
of homeopathy and characterized as
harmful ones some Of the more i'm
portant discoveries made by investi-
gators belonging to the old school.
All this is very pretty" and may
have been deemed cogent by the
audiences to which the remarks were
addressed, but if so that does not
prove it was wise or prudent to make
them. The logical result will be
similar attacks upon homeopathic
faith, practice and practitioners when
the brethren of the older school come
together; and if this be not the result
the event will show the latter to be
the wiser of the two, in this respect.
No good end is to be gained by such
attacks in gatherings intended to de-
velop the best lines of thought on the
subjects treated and to furnish bet
ter means than before of becoming
acquainted with the most valuable
features in the different lines of study
as presented by persons distinguished
in each. So far as the different
schools of medicine are concerned
verbal fighting between them is less
likely to gain converts to either than
to induce feeling akin to that ex-
pressed by Mercutio when he said,
"A plague on both your houses. The
comparison of alleged statistics
proves little or nothing unless it be
first of all settled as to the number
PEI hundred who being sick would
get well without any medication
whatever Doubtless some adherents
of each medical faith think there arc
none such, but if so it is because of
dense ignorance, not knowledge.

HalETone Engraving.

For years 1t was the dream Of en-
graVers TO produce an engraving di-
rect from a photograph or wash
drawing without the aid of tools,
reproducing In ink the effect of the
original Many were the schemes
tried, but while some beautiful effects
were produced, yet none were prac-
tical for rapid printing till the half
tone was perfected.
IL the reader will take a magnify
ing glass and examine half-tone
cut carefully, he will see a network
OF dots and lines running diagonally
from one corner of the picture to the
other-dots in the white and lines in
the dark portion, This effect is pro-
duced by means Of tint, or screen,
ruled with diamond on plate glass.
The cut made by the diamond is
illled with an Opaque pigment, maxi
ing alternate black and white spots
crossing at right angles.
This screen is placed between a
sensitive plate and the subject to be
reproduced. A powerful electric lamp
furnishes the light, which the OPAQUE
lines interrupt, but which the trans
parent lines allow to act on the sem
sitive film. The original effect is
thus REPRODUCED.
1t would be impossible to explain,
in other than technical language, the
various processes Of developing and
finishing, but when finished we have
negative compound of dense black,
and clear, transparent dots and lines.
From this negative a print is made
on copper or zinc plate, the plate
having first been prepared with
sensitive coat, which on exposure to
the sun or electric light becomes in
soluble and acid proof.
The light acts through the trans
parent portion Of the negative, max
ing the corresponding part of the
metal plate insoluble and acid proof,
the remainder being etched when
placed in acid. The plate is allowed
to remain in acid until the required
depth is obtained, when it is mounted
on a block and is ready for the
printer.
One would hardly believe that the
slight variation Of a dot or line SO
fine would produce the result OBJ
tanned by this process; but it is this
slight variation in size thai enables
the operator to reproduce on the
metal plate all the fine detail of a
flower or the wild grandeur of a

An Alligator,s Luncheon.

Alligators can go long way with
out eating, but when they do get a
chance at what is called a square
meal, they make short work of it. 1t
doesn't seem to matter much to the
alligator what the square meal con-
sists of, so long as he can get it down.
Anything that he can devour without
hurting his teeth or unduly stretch
ing his swallowing apparatus is food
for him. An instance of this is men
toned in a recent issue of the Chris
tian Union. A number of people
visiting the Zoo in the Central Park,
New York, were gathered about the
alligators' tank watching the large
reptiles disporting themselves in the
water. Suddenly a gust of wind
caught the broad-brimmed hat of a
young girl in the watching crowd,
whisked it off her head, and landed
it on the edge of the bank. Before
it could be recovered, one of the ALI
gators caught sight of it, his atten-
tion attracted no doubt by the beau
tiful artificial roses with which it
was trimmed. He gazed at it, rapt
in admiration for an instant. His
jaws slowly opened, and then closed
with snap over the hat, which dis
appeared down the creatures throat
all except single rose, which,
however, did not escape, for in mo-
ment the alligator's eye rested upon
it, and it as quickly followed the rest
of the hat into the creatures capa-
cious interior. Then the alligator
winked his other eye, as much as to
say: "That was fine. Give me
dozen more" Everyone enjoyed the
spectacle except the young girl who
lost the hat, who is still, as she was
then, undoubtedly of the opinion
that alligators are very impolite

Royal Life Saved bv n sp,der.

On the ceiling of one of the rooms
in Sans Souci, the world-renowned
palace Of Frederick the Great, is
painted great spider with its web.
The origin Of this strange decoration
is said to be as follows: This apart
meat was the great Kings breakfast
room and adjoining his bed-chamber
Every morning when his Majesty
entered the room he was accustomed
to find cup Of chocolate, but on one
occasion, just as he was about to
drink, he bethought himself of some
thing he had forgotten and returned
to his bedroom. When his Majesty
again entered the breakfast-room he
discovered that a great spider had in
the meantime dropped from the cell
ing into the cup, and he naturally
cried out for fresh chocolate to be
prepared. The next moment the
King was startled by the report of
pistol. No sooner had the cook re-
ceived the order than he blew out his
brains Not because the King re-
fused the chocolate did he do this,
but because he had poisoned the cup
and thought himself discovered. 1t
was in remembrance of this narrow
escape that his Majesty ordered the
spider with its web to be painted on
the ceiling. The Million.

ported to be of excellent quality and
the yield generally much better than
was expected a short time ago. Sum-
ner county will tnot only have plenty
for home consumption, but a goodly
quantity to market.

From Lawrence: Messrs. s. H. Ha-
den, J. NJ. Allen, and M. Busch, county
commissioners of Sedgwick county, and
E. B. Jewett, postmaster at Wichita,
were in Lawrence to confer with Chan
cellor F. H. Snow, of Kansas university,
in regard to establishing a sub-station
for chinch bug work at Wichita. This is
done so that when the bugs get bad in
that part of the state the farmers can
send to the sub-station for diseased
bugs in order to carry the infectious dis
ease among the healthy ones without
the loss of time there would be in send
ing to Lawrence. Several of these sta
tions have been established in different
counties in the state and have been
found Of great benefit. They help Chan
cellor Snow in his work at the central
experiment station here in collecting
bugs and making careful reports of re-
suits, and in many cases save the farm
ers much valuable time.

dred armed marauders rode into the
town where he was holding court,
and demanded, with threats and vio-
lence the release Of ten white-caps
under Indictment The plucky Judge,
although deserted by most of the
court officials, left the bench, and,
facing the mob brlstling with shot
guns and muskets, denounced them
as criminals; then, finding them per-
sistent in their purpose, broke
through their ranks, made his way
to the courthouse, rang the bell,
summoned a posse of citizens, and
compelled the attacking party to re-
tire. Ii is not often that judges are
called upon to vindicate In this virlle

1t is to be hoped that whenever such
emergencies arise they may be met
in the courageous spirit manifested
by this Mississippi Judge.

SOMETHING more than mere
obituary line is due in announcing
the death Of Dictator, the greatest
sire Of fast trotting horses that the
world has produced. He died at
Ashland, Ky, May q, at the age of
30 years. He had been unable to cat
any but ground food for the last five
years. He was nursed with the
greatest care by his owner, Henry
Clay Mcdowell, the well-known
breeder OF horses of the Kentucky
strains. Dictator was a full brother
of Dexter, a splendid brown horse
with white legs, who was the first to
beat in 2;l7i Flora Temples time Of
2:l0. He was the father of the Ra-
cine horse, Jay Eye-See, with the
wonderful double record of trottlng
in 2:lO and pacing in 2.06!. He was
the sire of Nancy Lee, the dam of
Nancy Hanks, whose record of 2:O4
with a pneumatic tired sulky sur
prised the world, and which Robert
Bonner disputed as not fair record.
He was of Hambletonian stock and a
patriarch whose blood courses in the
veins Of more than eighty horses with
records Of from 2;3O to 2:O4, that of
Nancy Hanks, the latest and best Of
his line.
