WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-Coincident with
the return 10 the United States of DIR. Kin
yon, of the Marine Hospital Service, who
went to Europe to investigate and report on
the diphtheria cure, is the fact that ex-
periments are already being made TO OBJ
tain serum with which to conduct expert
ments in this country. The horse which is
being used for the purpose of experimental
ton and from which il is hoped TO obtain
a supply of serum was purchased for the
Marine Hospital Service some time ago and
is now kept in a branch station of the Agrl-
cultural Department near Bennings, ID. G.
He has been given several injections of the
liquid obtained from the feeding of diph-
iberia germs taken from the throat OF
child suffering from diphtheria, in a mix
ture of beef broth and peptone, until they
have reached full development. To get the
animal thoroughly immuned against the
disease will take from seven 10 nine
months administration of the liquid. When
the animal is in condition and the germs
have had full effect. the horse is bled and
the serum secured. The results of the eff
feet on the horse are being watched with
much interest and care was taken in se-
lecting him to get one free from disease of
any kind.

EDWARD SWIFTS COMET.
Possibility that 1t Is the Long Lost
Wandcrer Discovered by Device.

Los ANGELES, Cal. Dec. 3.-Recent OBJ
servations at the Mount Lowe observatory
indicate that the Edward Swift comet, dis
covered by the son of Professor Swift, at
that observatory on Tuesday evening, Nov.
20 may turn out TO be the famous lost
comet discovered by Device, at Rome, Aug.
Y. 1874, just half century ago. The orbit
OF Devices comet was computed by Bruno,
and found to be within that of Jupiter, its
aphelion closely approaching the orbit of
the giant planet. and Its perihelion lying
just within the orbit of the earth. Its
period was a trifle less than five years and
half Co. 409 years., and it should have re-
appeared nine times since its discovery, but
IL did not return as predicted. or If ii has
returned IL was never seen. The re-
searches OF NJ. Leverrier indicated that it
was Identical with the comet observed by
l-ahiere. at Paris. in 1878. though it was not
detected at any one of the many returns to

orbit was direct and IL was inclined only

than that OF the planet Venus and far less
IMAM that OF any other comet discovered
IN IN the, present century. Now. the inclina-
ton OF the Edward Swift comet Is about
three degrees. or only six minutes greater
man Devicos, and DR.. Barnard OF the
LICK observatory, who has been studying
II through his great thirty-six-inch refrac-
tory. suggests that it is identical with the
iong-iost comet of Devicio, which would
be just about due at this time being its
ninth periodical return since 1874. The diff
Terence in inclination might be accounted
Ior py perturberation arising from being
snghtly swerved from its true course by
the powerful attraction OF some of the
planets 1t has approached in its mighty
gourneyinSs through space. If il proves to
be the long-iost comet astronomers will
be keenly interested in its career, and If
II were not 50 faint they would be obsery-
ing IL in all parts of the world Professor
Barnard can scarcely discern ii with his
twelve-inch glass, and Eastern astronomers
have not been able TO detect III as vet IL
Is probable that the comet is receding from
the sun and the earth and DR.. Swift esti-
mates that IL is now about 100 600 600 miles
away, or three times the distance OF the
planet Mars in October

Mr.. CLEVELAND at His OmcinI Post.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-President Cleve-
land came to the White House from Wood
ley at 10 o'clock this morning. 1t was
the first visit he had made to the city in
two weeks past He came alone. and was
met by Private Secretary Thurber. The
President looked very we'll, considering the
severe illness he has suffered from, and the
only outward sign OF his a!lment was the
pronounced limp which characterized his
walk from the carriage into the house.
Probably because his coming had not been
generally expected there were very few
callers at the White House in the morning
the only one of note being Representative
catchings, OF Mississippi, who, i'm behalf
OF the Speaker. came 10 inquire whether

Royal Buckwheats.

For generations it has been the Gus.
tom to mix the batter for buckwheat
cakes with yeast or emptyings, retain
ing portion Of the batter left over
from one morning to raise the cakes
for the following day.
Ifkept too warm, ornot used prompt
~, this batter becomes excessively sour
and objectionable. Buckwheat cakes
raised by this means are more often
sour or heavy than light and sweet. II
eaten daily they distress the stomach
and cause skin eruptions and itching.
Instead of the old-fashioned way we
have been making buckwheat cakes
this winter with Royal Baking Powder,
mixing the batter fresh daily, and find
the result wonderfully satisfactory.
They are uniformly light and sweet,
more palatable and wholesome, and
can be eaten continuously without the
slightest digestive Inconvenience. Be-
sides they are mixed and baked in a
moment. requiring no time to rise.
Following is the receipt used:
Two cups of pure buckwheat -four
mot prepared" or mixed); one cup of
wheat -four, two tablespoons of Royal
Baking Powder and one-half teaspoon
full of salt, all sifted we'll together.
Mix with milk into a thin batter and
bake at once on a hot griddle. Once
properly tested from this receipt, no
other buckwheat will find its way to
your table.-Domestic Cookery.
