PhOtOGraphing Diseases.

From the New York Tribune.
The announcement is made that NJ. Gull
loz, noted French physician, has spent a
number of years N the perfecting of appa-
ratus for obtaining permanent pictures of
the impressions left by disease upon the
retina Of the eye. In this device-Which Is
claimed to overcome the difficulties hitherto
met with by other investigators-the SUBJ
ject is placed in front of support which
carries a strong convex lens; another lens
is placed in one of the tubes Of the sheet
iron chimney which takes the place of a
globe on an ordinary gas lamp. and the
lamp is provide I'd with a special arrange
ment called a magnesium pistol. A rod,
operated by a coiled spring. slides in the
second tube. its front bearing a small cav
ity, which contains the fash powder, this
cavity being beneath the trap door, and
the firing Of the pistol is by q pneumatic
arrangement operated by a rubber ball.
AS described. in operation. the image Of the
background of the eye Is magnifed and
brought to focus at the position of the
flame; mirror Is arranged in the camera
box at an angle of As degrees, so that when
the image reflector in this mirror is clear
and distinct the view on the sensitive plate
Is In focus. At the moment Of firing the
magnesium pistol the plate in the camera
is exposed and the picture made. The re-
sult as exhibited thus on the retina, is a
demonstration of the existing disease. such
as cannot be mistaken.

tax upon wine. being the same as on beer,
will not be burdchsbme.
8. The tax upon tea and coffee Is at the
extremely low nate of about one mill per
cup and may be called a purely revenue tax.
9. Under this bill no income tax is re-
quired and no increase Of the whisky tax is
reeded.
Z. This bill could easily be passed as a
compromise measure by August 15 and If
passed would give the country peace and
prosperity as well as an ample revenue;
while long before September 1, $780, the peo-
pie would learn that this country needs no
so-called protection of any kind and that a
IL per cent rate Of tariff taxation thereafter
would be considerably higher than needed,
and finally the bill has the merit of being
so simple that every taxpayer in the Union
would understand its provisions.

One of the Longest of Walks.

From the London Daily News.
Herr Schneidereit., an Austrian printer,
toasts that he has Just completed one OF
the longest walks lever made by man. He
has marched on foot the whole way from
Calcutta to his native town. Rathenow. In
the year 1892 he was Informed that kins-
man, who had lately died in Australia had
bequeathed him a considerable fortune and
so he set out with his wife and children
to take possession of his inheritance in the
English colony. When he arrived he found
the fortune to be little more than a fable,
and he set his face again toward home.
The ship was burned on the voyage; Herr
SchEeidereit lost hts wife and his two chill
dren, but was himself marvelously rescued
and carried on board an English ship to
Calcutta
There he quickly spent the small remnant
of his property, and found himself utterly
without means of livelihood. So the ven
turous man resolved that he would walk
home to Austria. He travelled on foot
across India. Afghanistan, Persia. Turkey
the sor.h of Russia. Bulgaria. Roumania
and HI igary. into his Austrian fatnerland.
The journey on foot occupied him nearly
the whole of two years. We are inclined to
think that he may fairly claim to have
beaten the record In pedestrianism. If this
wonderful walker were an author as well
as a printer, he might make capital book
cut of his experiences a pilgrim from the
east to the west.

BLASTING GELATINE,

of Dynamite.

VI Os
From the Nineteenth Century.
BY far the most important, as we'll as the
latest form of dynamites or solidified nitro
glycerine are those designated not too hap
PLY as blasting gelatines" Many persons
imagine, quite naturally, that these consist
of some form of gelatine, isinglass, or glue,
converted by chemical means into a power
full explosive But blasting geatine" con-
tains no particle whatever of gelatine, prop
erly 80 called. the term being applied to a
mixture of nitro-glycerine and a nitro-cel-
lulose. 1t is prepared at Ardeer. in Ayre-
shire. n. B., by heating nitro-glycerine in
"jacketed'' pans to between forty degrees
and water at sixty degrees Centigrade Q4O
degrees Fahrenheit a certain proportion CT
dry gun cotton of the soluble kind. A
current of hot water at sixty degrees Cen
tigrade 1f0 degrees Fahrenheit) circula ting
between the outer and inner pans keeps the
contents of the latter at the required tenn
perature, and the mixing is effected by me-
chanical stirrers.

Jacket stream Of cold water in place of
the hot for time. In the course Of about
an hour the nitro-cotton is dissolved in the
nitro lycerine. the two bodies uniting to
form more or less stiff, homogeneous iel-
ly: 1t may. indeed. be compared to the pho
tographic collodion thickened by evapora-
ton, the gun cotton having been dissolved.
not in the Usual alcohol-ethe- mixture. but
In nitro-glycerine. When composed of 93
per cent of the latter. with Z per cent cot

q. Macroberts the manager at Ardeer OBJ
serves upon this point:

blasting gelatine is the strongest If the
energy of dynamite be represented by 100.
that or blasting gelatine will be 100: nitro
selatine itself shows less energy than blast
ing gelatine."
