Hard peposits In Steam Boilers.

A very simple method of preventing
hard deposits IN steam boilers is men
toned by NJ. Schmidt, French en-
gineer. There are two boilers in use at
the same time, one being at rest, and
the water in use is very bad, being very
calcareous and magnesic, with organic
matter, chlorides and a little sulphate of
of lime. Each boiler is allowed to go on
working for about 500 hours before
being cleaned, when it is stopped,
with the water in it, and allowed to cool
down for about week. The masonry
is allowed to become cold, and then the
tap is opened, also the safety valve, SO
that the water runs naturally out of the
boiler, the latter, when empty, being en-
tered and simply swept. The deposit,
being in the form of damp mud, is easily
swept away, leaving the boiler as clean
inside as if it were new.
This method has been in use some five
years and seems to show that the ordi-
nary hardening Of deposits in boilers is
due to the absence of water in them
while the mud and the iron are being
HATED by the brickwork when the boiler
has been emptied by the ordinary meth
cd under pressure. 1t is necessary, how
ever, under this system, to be able to do
without the particular boiler for some
eight days.-New York Sun,

there, should not know IT,
Witzle's case is almost a parallel with
that of Frank lesson, who was found
March %, 1892 at O'Neill's hotel, St. Louis,
with bullet hole in his brain. He had
been drinking heavily, and in fit of de-
spondency he shot himself in the brain at
Forest park. After the shooting he boarded
an electric car and went down town, telling
those who saw him that he had fallen and
hurt his head. AT the hospital he became
delirious and remained so for between two
and three weeks. The physicians located
the bullet with a probe, but failed to ex-
tract it. He died April 80, 1892, over
month after shooting himself.

A BULLET IN HIS BRAIN
And Emil Witzle Lives to Tell
How It Feels.
HE FAILED TO KILL HIMSELF.

Rut Succeeded In Furnishing a Case of
Surprising Interest to the st. Louis Doc
tors, who Agree That He Should Have
Died Instantly.
If Emil Witzle had conformed to all well
established and generally accepted rules OF
existence, he would now be reposing under
several feetof mother earth and sod in some
cemetery instead of occupying cot in the
City hospital, as he now does, says the ST.
Louis Post-Dispatch in an injured tone
On Dec 90 Emil tried to blow his own brains
out. He succeeded in lodging bullet from
80 caliber revolver in his brain, and now
gives every promise of going through life
with the leaden missile firmly imbedded in
his think tank" without experiencing even
so much as an occasional headache from its
presence.
Witzle is a German, "a years old, and a
laborer by occupation. He was married
about Is months ago and has one child. He
didn't agree very well with his mother-ln-
law. and after quarreling with her and his
wife tried suicide by firing two bullets
into his head, The first shot was too low

The second bullet entered the left side OF
the forehead Immediately over his eye, or
in the region termed by doctors the left

ton of his eyebrow, passed through the
frontal sinus, or tie upper portion of the
nasal. cavity, and then crashed into the
brain proper, where it now remains 1mbed-
ded. After entering the brain the bullet
took a downward and backward course,
finally locating itself in what are known as
the motor centers at point right beneath
the left temple.
Witzle was removed to the hospital and
his wound dressed, although death was ex-
pected momentarily. When the cavity was
cleaned, teaspoonful of brain matter came
out For two weeks the wounded man re-
manned in state of coma. He would at
times when aroused look up as though he
partially comprehended questions put to
him, but the power of speech was gone. His

have known many lame horses to be
worked or driven some time, sometimes
a month, and then, perhaps, all at once
one of their tendons would rupture or a
bone would break, thus showing if the
animal had received sufficient rest he
might have more than likely recovered
completely. refer to sudden cases of
lameness from kicks, accidents and the
like.
When horse has received kick or a
severe injury, and is lame, as you value
him don't work him for awhile. know
some OF you may have worked such
cases until they would travel sound, but
it is poor policy. Don't do it. Men
have consulted me in some such cases,
listened to my opinion and advice mar.
rowly, took whatever was prescribed,
and then kept on working the subject.
In short time, perhaps, / would be
called to see the same animal with a
broken bone, the result of the previous
injury and being used too soon.
Suppose you had sustained violent
kick or bruise upon one of your lower
limbs and your doctor had told you to
go ahead, to put your weight upon the
injured limb, to work on, will venture
to say you would have sent for another
doctor.
The majority of lameness in horses is
below the knee and stifie joint. Many
men, you will find, will tell you your
horse is lame in the shoulder, if he is
lame at all.
This shoulder lameness is not often
the case. Some men (not always veter
mary surgeons) would rather be accus.
ed of some heinous crime or gross i'm.
morality than of lack of knowledge OF
lamepess in horses. went once to see
horse that the local authority declared
was 'stifed," which means the stifle
bone was displaced. The horse had
been cast, and four strong men had
pulled at the leg as hard as they could
while he had attempted to replace the
bone. / found only nail in the foot.
It requires all the judgment an ex'
perienced person can exercise to locate
same cases of lameness. For instance,
diseased liver will produce lameness
in the right shoulder.

the idea that l know 80 much about
lameness that it bothers me to carry
this knowledge around with me
by no means. l am but giving
