by terrific explosion. Something
struck the floor beneath them hard
enough to loosen the boards, and the
air was filled with the flvor Of newly

The mans wife hurried to the cellar,
where she found her husband lying on

Reaching for Columbus's Laurels.
From the London Pail Mall Gazette

From the London Fall Mall Gazette.J
Capt. Gambler, r. N, goes a step fur
ther than the assertion that Columbus
did not know what he was discovering,
and denies him the merit of having dis
covered at all. The first sight of amer
ica, he says in the F5rtnightly, was obtain
ed by one Jean Cousin'o of Dieppe in l4SS,
four years before the arrival of Columbus
at San Salvador Cousin actually sailed
up the Amazon River, which be called
after the native name "Maragnon." On
board his vessel was man named Pin
con, who was tried and punished for in
subordination on the return to Dieppe.
Being banished from France this Pincon
made his way to Palos, in Spain; and
though there is no direct evidence that
Columbus sought him ont and obtained
information as tc Cousins voyage, it IS
remarkable fact that one OF Columbus
vessels was actually commanded by. a
man of this name, who was accompanied
by two brothers.
The principal thing to be said in oppo-
sition to Capt. Gamblers theory is that
France, which assiduously lays claim to
every scientific invention and discovery
that can be named, has never been known
to put forward a pretension to the dis

RELIGION AND THE DOCTOR.

Some months ago, believing that the
oft repeated assertion, that the majority of
medical men were unbelievers, is not true,
DR.. J. Frank Locke. of Pillsbury, Mimi,
asked the readers of the Medical BrieJ
to reply to the following questions:
81. Do you believe ID the Christian re-
ligion?
- Do you profess it?
'.3 Are you church member?
Answers were received from hundred
and seventy-nine physicians living in
thirty-four states of the Union. Of this
number, one hundred and fifty replied
afirmatively to all the questions. Nine
answered "Yes" to the first two questions
and mo" to the third. Seven responded
in the affirmative to the first question, and
in the negative to the two latter. Thirteen
T. piled negatively to all the questions.
The sentiment in favor of Christian
belief, then, is in the proportion of hun
dren and thirty-six to thirteen, or practl-
cally, thirteen to one.
Two who answer th: first two ques-
tions with decided negative, answer the
third in the affirmative; thoy do not be-
liere in the Christian religion. yet belong
to church. Five of the thirteen who an
swer with negatives write that they were
once believers and church members"
The following characteristics OF the re-
plies received are noteworthy, as having
decided bearing on the character OF the
respondents:

lively have nearly all done SO with SIM
pie Yes or I do; while ten ont OF the
thirteen answering IN the negative have

devoid of personalities and covert sneers,
while nearly half Of the negatives offend
in that direction.

question affirmati7ely.
Il. Three who have answered IN the
negative say they cannot understand how
one can practice medicineif he believes IN
the Christian religion, while thirty eight
of those who have answered all questions
in the affirmative say they would not dare
practice their profession without the as
surance of divine assistance"

,ice to the demand that such barbarities

voice TO the demand that such barbarities
shall cease.
From the unfortunate people who have been
tortured and slaughtered by the Turkish SOL
diery comes an appeal 10 the governments OF
all civilized nations, not only for immediate
succor. but for such action as will make re-
currence of the atrocities impossible That
appeal cannot go UNDECIDED. and it will not,
for Europe, long weary Of ''the sick man by
the Golden Horn, will give him to under
stand that he has outstayed and outlived his
time.
The fact is that the Turkish empire is an
anomaly among the other European nations.
In all its aspirations and tendencies it is reac-
tionary It is dominated by ignorance so
dense and fanaticism so intense that the at
triton of centuries has not been able TO
change its methods. With "a government more
autocratic than that of the Gar OF Russia;
controlled by a religious ianaticism that sees
in all other beliefs only material for persecu-
ton; its governmental machinery rotten to
the core; burdened with debt which it can
never hope and does not expect 10 pay-such
is Turkey as it has been and is to-day.
When Turkey is blotted from the map OF
Europe and its government consigned to the
limbo of past ard forgotten things blot upon
civilization will have disappeared.

VIII Coroner Hammett act?
DOLLAR GAS.

It is reported that foremost among the
measures 10 be pushed to consummation by
the Senate Committee on the District Of Co
lumbia is that which provides for dollar
gas" Some nope is even held out that this
bill may really pass at this session.
There is not. so far as anybody knows, the
slightest objection TO the passage Of this bill;
except, OF course, on the part of the stock
holders Of the Washington Gaslight Com
peny, whose fat dividends Will suffer some
slight curtailment. Yet, none need waste a
great deal OF compassion upon these gentle
men, for the quarterly returns upon their
holdings viii still make a very respectable
showing.
It has been pretty conyincingly demon
strated that eighteen-candle power gas can
be sold at a fair profit at thirty-fve cents per
thousand feet. That being the case, twenty
two-candle power gas, which the bill in ques-
tion calls for. can probably be furnished for
nfty cents, and perhaps less, leaving profit
Of more than 100 per cent. Not a business
man but would be satisfied with half that
amount
& 1.-THE investigation made by the Senate com
mittee during the last session respecting the
price and quality OF the Illuminating article
furnished the people Of this city by the Wash
ington Gaslight Company is evidently bear
ing fruit, for the bill already referred TO i'm
poses a penalty Of 500 for each day on which
the quality Of the gas falls below the twenty
two candle power standard. Rejoic,ngly,
therefore, everybody in Washington may look
forward to the time when darkness shall no
longer be made visible by the apologize
glimmer that now passes for street lighting.
and the thrifty housekeeper need not light a
talIow dipto find out whether or not the gas
is burning.
By the way, there is another gratifying
feature in all this hoped-for change. When
we once shall have dollar gas. perchance 90
cent gas may not be an impossibility.
