THAT CANCER CURE.
WHAT NE'y YORK PHYSlclANS HAVE
 TO SAY CONCERNING IT.

All Greatly Interested, but Add That Dis
 patches Are Not Explicit Enough to
 Warrant Precise opinions-what pr.
 Loomis Has to Say.
 Concerning tho new cancer and con sumption cure said to have been discovered in Germany by Dr. Louis Waldstein of New York well known physicians say:
 The news concerning Dr. Waldstcin's discovery of specific for cancer and con sumption was received with profound surprise among physicians in this city. The statements in tho dispatch were too general for them to correctly determine either tho extent of the discovery or to form any intelligent idea of the method of the treatment but the moro fact that tho methods adopted by Dr. Waldstcin were directed toward the development of tho power of tho white colpusclcs of the blood was sufficient to mako them deeply inter- estcd.
 Experiments have been making by phy sicians and rathologists concerning the white corpusclcs for some time past. They are recognized as tho great remedial agent in tho human systom-the enemies of all sorts of disease The effort has been made to discover some means by which they could be rallied when needed at q certain point of the system so that they could over como toxic action.
 It has been ascertained that when there is local disorder tho white corpuscles as semble about tho part affected and fight the bacteria of disease. In most instances they overcome them. If, however, the bac- teria arc too strong for tho corpusclcs, they retreat into the system and wage u guerrilla warfare there until they arc completely overcome and the patient 9os.
 If Dr. Waldstein has found any treat ment that will stimulate these corpusclcs into energy when they have been dispersed, physicians say, he has made a great discov cry, whether it applies directly to the euro of cancer or consumption.
 "He is very bright man, said Dr. Loomis, tho well known physician, "and, though pilocarpine has never been regard cd as active in the manner the dispatch i'm dicates, still ho may have found some new method of administration. 1, too, under. stood that he was going abroad to study diseases of the stomach, and of course it may be that in these experiments he has found that tho drug has n beneficial action on tho blood
 Every interesting experiments have been made in the Skin and Cancer hospital in New York with Il comparatively new trcatf ment for cancer. The result has been very promising. But here the germs of erysipf elas have been used to fight tho cancer. The germs have been administered to tho patient both directly in their primary state and after culture Several cases have been reported as cured The use of pilol carpine has been restricted, believe, al most entirely to cases of Bright's disease. swelling of the feet, dropsy plcurisy and chronic rheumatism.

Japanese Paper, Suit.

As we write we are clad in suit of pa- per as supplied to tho Japanese soldier on service. It is thoroughly light. easy under tho arms and over the chest. The trousers, 1t is true. are lsnickerbockcrs. and lead to tho impression that tho Japanese soldier invariably wears his left leg shorter than his right, but this, we believe is tho result of art rather than nature. It is said that this papor neyer tears, is very warm. and seldom wears out.

WARSHIPS IN BATTLE.
Photographs Showing How They Behaved
 In Actual Warfare.

American naval officers have been study ing the recent battles between the Chinese and Japanese fleets in eastern waters. They have large photographs of Q number of the engagements which took place be- tw cen tho hostile cruisers and battleships, and naval expertsg give lectures every week on tho tactics and niaiicuvers employed in these combats.
 One beautiful photograph which at tracts much attention in tho navy depart ment shows tho Chin Yucp after her bat teries had been silcnced by the Japancse fleet.
 By the aid of a magnifying glass the number of places where the Chin Yuen was struck by the enemys guns can be seen in the photograph. Forty-scven shots struck the foremast and its top, and B struck the mainmast and its rigging. Thus in space 150 feet long and perhaps 30 or GO wide more than 100 shots were effect ive.-Chicago Times Herald.

 Now comes the sequel of this story, as told in tho Blackpool QJancashire) Adyer- tiser of March Is last, which says; Lucy Dewhirst is girl of scarce 10 summers Last October Lucy's mother took her to Lawrence, Mass, where sho found q home in her brothers family and obtained om- ployment in ono Of tho Lawrent factories. Hor mother left there some two months ago to return to England, and Lucy begged unavailingly to To allowed to go back with her.
 'On the morning of Feb. 10 sho started from tho house, as the family supposed, to . 20 to her work, us usual, but did not TO- turn Subsequent developments show that her plans had Ecen well maturcd be- forchand. Going to barbcr's shop sho had her head 'shorn of her beautiful tresscs to quote an American paper's description of the affair, and then at Q friends horso she left the dresses which covered sSa 8 suit

It Is Proposed to Take Visitors In 1900
 Nearly Mile Underground.
 Having sealed the heavens at the last exhibition, it is now proposed in Paris to furnish, as the chief attraction in 1900, facilities for descending into the depths of tho earth. M. Groussct, member of the chamber of deputies for Paris, has sub mitted plan fer testing the point whether there is central fire beneath tho earth S crust. He finds that in mines the temper
 ature down to certain depth is practical ly tho average temperature above ground. Descending beyond that point the ther- mometcr rises about l 11 degrees in every hundred feet. He desires to tost the . thermal law at Q much greater depth than has yet been reached. Should it be found to remain constant, tho boiling point would bo reached about 9,000 feet be- low the surface, and the 666 degree point, at which nearly all bodies are in state of fusion, would be some 12 miles down. Of course, M. Grousset would not take Parisians down to the point of fu- sion, but only until tropical heat is reached. After that he would continue his experiments by borings. The plan of M. Grousset's inferno comprises a series of vertical shafts each GOO feet long and ter minating in a vast subterranean gallery. Each shaft would have couple of passon- ger elevators. The lowest circle would be at depth, of about 900 feet. Each gal lory would be fitted in keeping with its special temperature. There would be cleo trio lights throughout and perfect ventila- tion would be secured. Tho cost of the undertaking is estimated at @, 500, 900, as- suming the lowest gallery depth at 4,600 feet. As mere spectacle M. Grousset is confident that the venture would pay, but he hopes to strike upon fresh source of

To Out-of-Town Patients:

Since the establishment of the South ern Medical Dispensary in this city several years ago, and which, by the way, was the first medical institute in Pirmingham-as the fles of the city papersAwill show-our success has been so pronounced es to encourage other less competent doctors and self styled told reliable specialists" to im itate our mode of advertising, and by their spacious prete nsions end heroic self praise make capital for themselves by their questionable methods. We therefore advise all those who may not be personally acquainted with Dr. Do- zier, before submitting their cases to any specialist, to consult their own in- terests and safety by first making an investigation of the home character of the man that they would have treat them.
 If you are member of any church, or if you are Mason, Odd Fellow, K. of H., K. of F., or belong to any order or organization, then write to some leader, officer or member of such church or order in Birmingham and inquire concerning our professional, social and financial standing. After doing this, write to us a plain state- ment of yonr case and inclose a stamp for reply. We will give you then our opinion, terms for treatment, etc.
 Our system of mail treatment is the best ever devised, and enables us to cure thousands every year who could not otherwise have been reached by US. It will cost you nothing more than a stamp to get our opinion of your case, which may prove valuable indeed to you.
