instruction of Medical Students.
At Conversations in Glasgow, DR..
AIacintyre has shown that the phono-
graph is destined to take its place as an
instrument of instruction in medical
teaching. He transmitted number of
cough sounds and varieties Of hoarse-
ness due to different pathological condi-
tons to distance by means of COM
bination Of the photograph and the
telephone, and registered the heart
sounds by special recording arrange
ments. Stethoscopic sounds have hith-
erto offered tile greatest difficulty Of all,
but by suitably devised conducting APP
paratus, DR.. AIacintyre has secured ex-
cellent records Of different sounds
heard within the chest. He exhibited
q number of micrOphOnes-sOme OF the
ordinary varieties and others especial
" adapted for medical purposes. The
principal one Of interest was an instru-
ment enabling a number OF students to
listen 70 the sounds at the same time,
and also to transmit these sounds. This
apparatus which consists of a small
battery and telephone receivers, is de-
signed by DIR. Macintyre for enabling
students in a class room Of medical
school to hear the chest sounds of pa
tient in a distant hospital. In fact, DR..
Macintyre looks forward to the regu-
lar fitting up Of medical schools so that
large numbers Of students may be
trained at the same time to appreciate
the sounds heard within the body, even
though the patient may be at con-
siderable distance, and. with improve
ments in the recording apparatus OF the
photograph. to take permanent records
Of the same.

Carriers ON the Ocean.
Eugene Z. Chamberlain. the United
States commissioner Of navigation, has
sent out an abstract Of Lloyd's Regis
ter, which gives the tonnage of very
large part of the seagoing vessels of the
world-that is, over 100 tons burden,
but so far as this country is concerned
not including our inland commerce.
says the Boston Herald. BY this it ap-
pears that while in 1890 the lumber
of vessels in the world engaged III
ocean commerce of 100 tons or over
was 53,298, having q tonnage Of 3d.
ISL ,651, in 1893 the number of YES
sells had sunk to 32,O1O. but the gross
tonnage had increased to the amount
of "A ,259,375 tons. That is. VIII le there
has been a constant diini l,ltion in the
number of vessels employed, there has
been a seady advance i'll the average
been q steady advance in the average
capacity is greatly increased, with pre-
samably reduction in the cost Of
maintenance
There were in 1890 11,1OS steam YES
sells, having O tonnage of 12,9S5.S72;
In 1898 the number of stern vessels
had increased to 1868 and the ton
mage to 15,264,41S. In this case there
had been all increase both in number
and in tonnage, though the Increase in
the latter was very much more marked
than in the former. OF sailing vessels
there were in 1890 p 100, but IN 1893
1882. The tonnage at the first period
was 9,16G279 and in the latter $685.
957. This shows Il large falling off
in the number of vessels /, nd also a
falling off in the tonnage, indicating
clearly the decline in this respect that
is steadily going on by The substitution
Of steam for sail. Equally noticeable
is the substitution of steel for wood
and iron in the construction of hulls.
In 1890 the wood tonnage was 1861
1856; iron, 10,517,513; steel, 4,435,20S
In 1898 the wooden tonnage was 1884,
$50; iron, 9,793, S72; steel, 7,9G6,333. It
will be seen from the last statement
that wooden and iron vessels arc pass
ing out of use in a decidedly rapid man.
ner, while steel vessels are coming into
use with such rapidity that there was
nearly twice the tonnage of them in
1898 that there was in 1890.

did not meet with the success that VI as
anticipated for them. These machines
were loaded every morning with the
latest editions Of the leading ncwspa-
pcrs, and were so arranged that they
would give out a paper and the cor
rect change, but they were, Of nee essity,
very expensive, owing to the compli-
Gated machinery. and the busy public,
having become accustomed to look upon
such cOntrivances as the mere dispcns-
ers of cheap chewing gum and. cheap
chocolates, did not take to the idea,
and 1t has now been practically aban-
doncd. Then a man always wants to
see the date of q paper before he pays
for it. Why this is remains mystery
when he knows that news stands and
newsboys could not afford any more
than any other dealers to tiagrantly
impose upon the public and expect to
retain their customers, but, neverthe-
less, he will always assure himself
of the date Of a newspaper before he
puts down his coppers, although he
will stop at the grocery and order sew

But the bootblack will soon be almost
a relic of the past. Those now in the
business will soon grow up and pro
mote themselves into more dignified
callings, and by that time there won't

Mr.. Holloman Nails Two Or Three
Campaign Lies.

Ed. egister-keferring to the circular
sent out by the Chairman of the Re-
publican Committee of Iron county, to
far as l am concerned, every charge is
absolutely false. When the subject of
Railroad Taxation was before the Leg
islature for consideration. l voted for
an amendment to the bill proposing to
tax all railroad property In the State
at par value. The amendment was Of
fered by Mr.. Tubbs of Usage county.
In his natural ignorance. the Chair
man of the Republican County Com
mittee knows nothing of my record in
the Legislature and makes assertions.
thinking the voters Of Iron comfy will
be foolish enough to believe him; and
when he drifts into demogogery and
says that favored legislation for the
rich against the poor. he makes an as
sertion that every we'll informed voter
knows is not the truth.
l supported, worked, and voted for
the bill regulating the stock yards of
Missouri when a tremendous lobby
was sent from Kansas City and ST.
Louis to defeat the bill, and they did
knock it out on the first round. 1t is
a fact well known to every farmer and
stock raiser in Missouri that these
stockyard corporations are extortion=
ing en the shippers by charging q
dollar bushel for corn and thirty dol
lars a ton for very Indifferent hay. In
every instance l voted against the cor
poration lobbyists. They are not in
Jefferson City in the interest of the
people, land in danger l always take
the safe side"
In their desperate endeavor to cap
ture the Missouri Legislature, the Re-
puhlicans, as usual, are STOPPING to
slsndor and Misrepresentation.
Respectfully,

The Ok Team Going.
THE STURDY FARMERS OLD STANDBY
RAPIDLY FALLING INTO DIsUsE.

hAEAOL4 ALLlNG Dl5USEs
From the Easthampton News
Cattle Inspector Whitmash has fin
ished his rounds, and reports not one
team of oxen owned in town. Last
year there was just one, which was
sold for beef on the day after his call
was made. This, the last team, was
owned by Jarius F. Burt. This VAN
ishing of the heavy OK team marks an
era in our progress just as surely, if
not as noticeably, as the coming of
steam after the stage coaches and
canals, or the entrance of the electric
car to supplement and in some respects
displace the steam locomotive and the
horse team. Years ago the farmer was
not to be found who did not own an
OK team, and oftentimes more than
one.
The land was heavier than now,
much of it was new sod, and the roads
were far harder than even at this date,
when we are apt to think them anything
but good. But with the coming of bet
ter roads, the more complete breaking
of the fields, the invention of power
| full machinery and cheap explosives
for removing stumps and rocks, and
more especially the breeding of heavier
| horses, the patient OK has, like the
Indian, gone out of our civilization
gradually but surely, but, unlike the
Indian, he has not gone West. TO the
little folks to-day the massive yokes
smooth and glistening with the labor
of straining shoulders, are curiosity.
The big-tongued cart is almost as oh
sOlete as the OK himself, and the Ions
whip has gone with the "haw" anC
"hee" and gee" and other strange
terms of now almost dead language
AS in so many other respects, classic
reference to "Ox-eyed Juno" will hav,
to be explained before long, with refer
ence to the COW as the modern proto
type, and undoubtedly the reviser
will have it Conveyed Juno" in the
editions of decade hence.
So we progress from crude muscle
and the tugging of sinews to thu
power of swift horses, tireless steam
p and now stand on the threshold of the
universal electricity that has beer
back of all these forerunners ami il
now fast supplanting them. Their
may be a pair or so of oxen agail
owned in town, but, like the the get
ting out of the old tin lantern, it will
be but Pickering revival of the pas
already dead.

Skurrying off to Europe.
ACROSS THE OCEAN FOR $40.

The recent cut in steerage rates incl
dent to the steamship war between the
English and Continental Lines has
brought about such a rush to take ad-
vantage of the low figures that all of
the lines have had applications for
more business than they can handle.
The agents are wondering where all of
the people come from. Nearly every
day since the reduced rates went into
effect vessels have gone away with
their steerage quarters crowded and
hundreds have been unable to secure
passage.
The steamship Southwark has 700
passengers already booked for Liver
pool and the British Princess carried
away 527 on her last sailing. The
Red Star Line steamship Waesland
sailed yesterday from New York with
$50. The White Star, American, Ne
therlands and Red Star offices in Phila-
delphia, have been jammed with per-
sons desirous of seeing Europe for the
low price of of SO.
This excess of business has stitlened
prices, and while the rate war is still
in full force, some of the lines are in
clined to push up to higher figures.
The Cunard is reported to have ad-
vanced its prices already on some OF
the boats. In many cases the railroad
fares from the starting point to the
steamship wharf are heavier than for
| the 5000 mile run across the ocean.
