Americas Dead Sea.

Medical Lake, so-called on account
of the remedial virtues of its waters,
situated OH the Great Columbian
plateau, in Southern Washington, at
an altitude of 2300 feet above the
level of the Pacific, is the Dead Sea
of America. 1t is about mile long
and from half to three-fourths of u
mile in width, and with maximum
depth OF about sixty feet.
The composition of the waters of
this Alpine lake is almost identical
with that of the Dead Sen of Pales.

part, no plant has yet been found
growing in or near its edges. 1t is
oil but devoid of animal life, a species
of large ''boat-bug," queer little
terrapin, and the famous walking
fish" being its only inhabitants. This
walking fish is an oddity really de-
serving of special "note." It is
from eight to nine inches long and
has finny membrane extending from
head to head, even around both the
upper and lower surfaces of the tail.
It is provided with four legs, those
before having four toes, the hinder

1t is encouraging to know that the
scientific application Of electricity to
therapeutical work is gaining ground
rapidly. Not only are medical men
themselves actively Investigating the
subject, but electricians like Edison.
Tesla, Elihu Thomson, A. E. Kennel
ly, J. J. Carty and others, are devot-
ing considerable time and study to
it. American medical papers contain
many notes on new lines of work, and
even the more conservative English
press finds space to record advances
IN the electro-therapeutic art. The
London Lancet contains interesting
references to the very successful use
of electricity in curing trigeminal
neuralgia, and to long continued
treatment of cases of ticdouloureaux.
which is practically the same thing,
with long and short applications of
the current. Success is uniform in
all cases.

The use of the electric current in
the treatment of disease is extending,
as shown by the large attendance upon
and widespread interest in the second
annual convention of the National So
ciety of Electro-therapeutics in New
York City. Physicians of the old
schools of practice now use electricity
for many troubles.
COCalne Is one OF Tue most uSo1ut
drugs known. Its use was demon
strated on the eyes of animals by Kol-
Ter, of Vienna, not many years ago,
and it is now indispensable to the sur
geon. Cocaine applied to the eye en-
tirely removes sensibility, and allows
the most delicate operations to be
painlessly performed. 1t is also used
in operations on the nose and larynx,
which otherwise could only be per-
formed with great agony to the
patient, for the administration of
chloroform in these cases is impossible.

The Eyes OF a Portrait.

How it is that the eyes of some por-
traits seem to follow spectator
around the room? 1t is thus ex.
planned; Suppose portrait have its
face and eyes directed straight in
front, so as to look at the spectator.
Let straight line be drawn through
the tip of the nose and half way be-
tween the eyes. On each side of this
middle line there will be the same
breath of head, Of cheek, of chin, and
of neck, and each iris will be in the
middle of the whole of the eye. II
one now go to one side. the apparent
horizontal breadth of every part OF
the head and face will be diminished,
but the parts on each side of the mid
die line will be diminished equally
and at every position, however OBJ.
lique, there will be the same breadth
of face on each side of the middle line,
and the iris will remain in the centre
of the eyeball, SO that the portrait
will preserve all the character of a
figure looking at the spectator and
must necessarily do SO wherever he
stands. In portraits the apparent
motion of the head is generally rem.
dered indistinct by the canvas being
imperfectly stretched, as the slightest
concavity or convexity entirely de-
forms the face. CONNER

Iceland can hardly be considered as
o new country, admits the Washing
ton Star, for it was colonized before
the Vikings made an excursion to the
North American coast. Yet attention
is now being directed to the resources
of the island, and projects for devel-
opment are being planned and pushed
with the vigor usual when a new land
has been opened for settlement. An
English syndicate has secured con-
cession to build railways, and line
of steamers is to be established to run
all the year between Iceland and Liv.

the incentive that has given life to
these commercial projects. Iceland's
geographic position is such as to sug-
gest it as field for American enter.

Oldest Scythe in the World.

Quietly reposing on one of the
many well-fillod shelves in Flinders
Petrie's private museum in London is
an ancient agricultural implement
which throws much light on the art of
husbandry as practicei by the prehis-
toric Egyptians. This antique farm
ing tool is a wooden scythe blade,
which was found securely imbedded
in the mortar of one OF the Oldest
tombs of the valley of the Lower Nile.
The shaft of the instrument, as al
ready stated, is of wood of some un-
known species, the edge being carefully
set with a row of fints SO as to pre-
sent their jagged edges in a manner
not unlike that exhibited by the teeth
of saw. These fints are of uniform
size. the base of each being fashioned
so as to fit the curve of the wooden
blade. The teeth are not set into a
groove along the edge of the blade, as
one would naturally suppose, but are
each firmly cemented in place, the
material being of such excellent CON-
position and the workmanship of such
superior quality that after lapse OF
time closely approximating 5000 years
they appear as sound and perfect as
when first taken afield by their origin

How Pepsin Is Prepared.

Pepsip, which in various forms is
so largely used as remedy for indi.
gestion and stomach trouble, is oh.
tanned from the membrane that lines
the stomach of various animals, that
of the hog being most largely used.
The fresh stomachs are deprived OF
their fat and divested of their outer
coating, cut open, gently washed with
cold water and macerated for several
days in pickle. This pickle is com.
posed of water thirty parts and hydro.
chloric acid one part, and requires
frequent stirring. The liquid is nexi
strained and filtered clear through
coarse paper or allowed to stand
tventy-four hours and then poured off
Common suet is then added and thor.
odghly mixed with the liquid. The
pepsin rises to the top, and after
standing is SKINNED off. After this it
is drained in s.rainer, then submit
ted to strong pressure to force out all
that is possible of the saline solution.
Next it is carefully dried in warm air
without other heat. The resultant
constitutes the crude pepsin, which is
used for making purified pepsin, etc.
Purified pepsin before drying in water
accidulated with pepsin before drying
in water accidulated with hydrochlorio
acid, then adding just sufficient salt to
separate it from it's solution. 1t is
next washed gently with cold water
and drained, pressed and dried rapid

Chinese Victims of Consumption.

That there is large Chinese popu-
lation in Boston is we'll known, and
yet it is seldom that one hears of q
death in the Chinese quarter. The
proportion of Chinese residents is
small as compared with those of other
nationalities, and there is no way to
tell tho exact number of deaths among
them, as they are recorded by the city
officials under the head of miscel-
laneous nationalities. Inquiry reveals
the fact that Cinnamon in nearly every
case die of consumption. They are i'll,
as rule, but short time. In their
native country their principal diet is
rice, which from its healthfulness,
tends to lengthen life. When they
begin business here all their
habits change. They work early and
late, seldom leaving their shops, and
as they succeed they begin to eat
American food. 1t is remarked by all
with whom they have dealings that
they always buy the best the markets
afford. 1t is their custom to work un-
til midnight or after, and then enjoy
a hearty meal. If they are well-to-do
they are certain to have chickens and
whatever fruit can be procured, no
matter how expensive it may be. If
they have just started in the laundry
business it is quite likely that they
will form company and adjourn to
the nearest might lunch wagon" or
restaurant.
Living as most of them do, in such
small rooms, when sickness overtakes
them they cannot receive proper care,
and they are carried to the hospitals.

Moving Mountain.

A travelling mountain is found at
the Cascades of the Columbia. 1t is a
triple-peaked mass of dark brown
basalt, six or eight miles in length
where it fronts the river, and rises to
the height of almost 1000 feet above
the water. That it is in motion is the
last thought that would be likely to
suggest itself to the mind OF anyone
passing it; yet it is well-established
fact that this entire mountain is
moving slowly but steadily down to
the river, as if it had deliberate pur-
pose some time in the future to dam
the Columbia and form great lake
from the Cascades to the Dalles, says
a writer in Goldthwaite' Geographi-
cal Magazine. In its forward and
downward movement the forest along
the base of the ridge has become SUBJ
merged in the river. Large tree
stumps can be seen standing dead in
the water on this shore. The railway
engineers and brakeman find that the
line Of railway that skirts the foot of
the mountain is being continually
forced out of place. At certain points
the permanent way and rails have
been pushed eight or ten feet out of
line in q few years. Biologists at
tribute this strange phenomenon to
the fact that the basalt, which consti-
tutes the bulk of the mountain, rests
on substratum of conglomerate or of
soft sandstone, which the deep, swift
current of the mighty river is con-
stantly wearing away, or that this
softer subrock is of itself yielding at
great depths to the enormous weight
Of the harder mineral above.
