IT sometimes happens that physicians
could do more for patients, who do not
possess the means to pay for expensive
medicines, il they were authorized by
The city council to use such medicines
with the understanding that re 1mburse
ment for OUTLAWS would fol low. Several
fatal cases Of diphtheria have come to the
notice Of the health officers which might
have been successfully treated if ante
toxine we're used. But this remedy is
very expensive, so expensive as to pract1-
cally preclude It's use among that class
OF patients from whom most is to be
feared II the way OF spreading the conta-
gion of this dreadful disease. The city
as a whole has an interest in such mat
tiers, and could well afford to pay the
comparatively small amount needed for
the above purpose.

4 Land AMI Water Steamboat.

An interesting steamer is Just about
TO be started on some lakes few miles
distant from Copenhagen. the peculiar
feature being that the steamer las to
make II short journey overland, the
two lakes being divided by strip Of
land. Across this railway has been
constructed, crossing high road,
which nccessitntes gradient on both
sides OF l.J0, the metals being orli.
have been carried into and under the
water on wooden structure. By
means of piles the steamer il guided
on to the rails, which correspond in
position with two wheels fixed on each
side of the steamer. Tho steamer goes
then on to the rails at "lull speed
and travels up the rails on thc one
side and down the incline on the other,
into the water, where the propeller
again takes over its function. The
engine IL comparatively powerful, aud
in addition TO the usual propeller shaft
there isanother shaft, which, by means
OF chain, works the small wheels on
WHICH Iut SltltleE CEOSstb tut INliN.
The boat also has powerful brake to
moderate its speed down the Incline.
The steamer is forty.four feet long,
capable OF holding seventypassengers,
and the engine indicates twenty seven
horse power. All the trials have passed
off perfectly satisfactorily.
This reminds us OF tho celebrated
Orukter Amphibolos, invented by
Oliver Evans, OF New York, in 1903,
which traversed land anl water 1t

for land service, and u propellinG

was driven by steam aud operated with
success.

water, paddle across, then wheel up
the bank, and away it would go. Oliver

leased n part OF the lower Sturtevant
factory at Bean Hill, Coma, from
Charles Bard, trustee OF tho Sturte-

design to demonstrate tho practical
and prc-emincnt value OF tho Chinese

How TO Dry Umbr,llGs,

During tho frequent use o, umbrcl.
las we should keep in mind the Off
repeated caution concerning care in
drying them. They will last much
longer il they arc always placed when
wet with the handle downward t." dry.
The moisture then falls from thI edge
OF the frame and the fabric dries uni.
iormly. When it stands handle up
ward, which is commonly the case the
top OF the umbrella holds the moist
urc and not only takes long ti''' , to
dry, but soon Injuries the silk or vther
fabric used for the cover aud rusts the
steels. This is the cause of this part
of the umbrella wearing out before
any other part. Umbrella cases are
also responsible for the rapid wear OF
the silk. The constant friction causes
the tiny holes that appear so provok'
ingly early. When not in use leave
the umbrella loose.

Archbishop Kahn Makes Public the Dis
patch From Rome.
ST. LOUIS, June 6.-When shown the
Associated Press dispatch from Rome
denying that Archbishop Kenrick had
been deposed, Archbishop Kahn said:
'sIn order to settle, once for all, the
conflicting stories concerning the arch
diocese Of st. Louis, I will give out the
dispatch to be published, and those who
read it are at liberty to form their own
conc u q, have nothing to say.

of the 8 gram to Archbishop Kahn

forward, ou, the sovereign pom
TIT has Ssrred archbishop Ken
rick to an -sner a5ckep,scopal see, and
named you archbishop Of st. Louis.
The letter is ON the way"
According to this John Joseph Kahn
is archbishop of ST. Louis. while the
venerable Richard Peter Kenrick, who
has had direct charge of the diocese for
nearly so years, has been transferred to
an archepiscopal see in the far East,
probably to Drosa. The title of arch
bishop of Drosa is an empty one, carry
ing no responsibility, and serving
merely to allow the archbishop to die
in the high office.
