The majority report strongly urged
that such measures should be taken as
would invite into the organization great
body of American physicians who now
remain outside. while the minority con-
tended strongly against any change in

The discussion lasted the entire morn

minority. On vive voce vote its report
was substituted for the majority.
The vive voce vote was not satisfactory
to many members, and rollcall was

Telegraphing at Sea.

The telephotoes, an instrument in
vented by Mr.. c. v Boughton, of this
city, by which vessels at sea can con-
verse at long distances, has been placed
on public exhibition, and is pronounced
a success by experts. The instrument
consists of series of wires and electric
al connections, operated by a keyboard,
by which 106 incandescent lights are
controlled and made to produce the
signals of the Morse telegraph alphabet.
The wires number over 1000 and occupy
a space of only II by IL inches. The
dots of the telegraph characters are rep
resented by two illuminated lamps, the
spaces by twelve unilluminated lamps,
and dashes by twelve illuminated lamps
The inventor claims that 32-candle
power lamps can be seen at distance
of ten to fifteen miles. Mr.. Boughton
has secured patents in this country and

Mr.. Henry Labouchere, discussing the
recent death of Jay Gould and the large
fortune he left III London Truth, says:
"Were | an American J should meet
this tendency by a progressive death
duty on all requests. What | mean
is that the duty would not progress on
th5 sum total left by the individual,
but on the sum inherited by the individ-
ual. Suppose that man left 81 ,OOO, 900,
and that my progressive duty doubled
itself on every $500, 900 inherited by any
of his heirs. My plan would work out
in this way: If the duty on the first
100000 were per cent, should he
leave one person $1OOO,00O the sum OF
S75, 900 would lave to be paid, $l75,O0C
by any one getting 81, 500, 900, and so on
until the effect of leaving an excessive
amount to one individual would be that
the state would become the sole heir
This would prevent the perpetuation Of
accommodations and oblige millionaire
so to spread his money on his death thai
large number of individuals would
profit by it,"
