An AutOrEaphfc Skin.

From the Cleveland Leader.
Autographs skin was the curiosity pre-
sented at the Cleveland Medical Society s
meeting last evening. Over fifty of Cleve-
lands best physicians frankly acknowl-
edge that they had never seen anything
like 1t. Skin which can be written on with
anything from a match to a poker, and
leave the tracing as true as if written
with pen on parchment, and which is yet
to all appearances healthy and natural, is
something out of the common.
After a paper had been read by DR.. I.
J. Kerr, and several interesting subjects
had been discussed, DR.. c. ]. Aldrich in
troduced young man who is possessed
of skin which deserves to be placed by the
side of the rubber skin of the museum man
and on a par with 1t as a curiosity. A few
days ago he called on DR.. Aldrich to have
his lungs examined.
In making the examination the doctor
noticed that wherever he passed his fin
gers sharply over the young mans skin it
would turn red and then begin to rise in
welts. The doctor had read of the phe-
nomenon called autographs skin, but had
never seen a case of it. He hastily COM
pleted the examination of the lungs and
began to write on the young mans body.
using a match. The patient said that his
skin had exhibited that peculiarly for
years, ever since he was boy, in fact
the members of the society see him, and
appeared before them stripped to his
waist match, a toothpick, a pair of
scissors, pencils and fingers were used to
trace letters and figures on the young
mans back and breast. The word "Cleve-
land" was written in a neat hand across
his back The letters could be dimly seen
at once, the skin turning red under the
irritation. Soon the skin began to rise
where the pointed instrument had touch
ed. and In few moments the word stood
forth beautifully embossed. The letters
became paler. later, and the skin around
them was very red. The young man said
there was no pain, the only sensation he
felt being slight burning where the let
tiers were traced. After twenty minutes
or so the letters began TO sink a little, al
though letter ID" which he himself
traced on his arm about 1880 O'Clock. was
still plainly visible at 8 o'clock. The swell
ing had subsidized. however, and the letter
was visible only by means Of the red.

MADE AN ELECTRIC SPRING.
Many InvaIids Were Cured There BE-
fore the Deception Was Found Out.

lore Nnt w hN Ohhs
From the Cleveland Leader.
In one of the shipyards Of Cleveland
there is a young man who demonstrated
to some people of the Rocky mountain
country the great influence OF the mind
over tho body. In their cases this influ-
ence was sufficient TO cure various dis
eases, until they discovered the hoax. and
then a relapse came TO some who had
not as yet thoroughly recovered.
The young man and his companions were
not posing a priests OF any peculiar faith,
but were simply looking out for the dol
lars that might come from their patients,
and the cures were In no wise credited TO
faith. but TO the natural properties of an
electric spring" This they claimed to
have discovered under the blum of Pixies
Peak. and over the water they built
fancy sanitarium. Soon people came
from far and near, and not only came,
but were cured. From various diseases
the patients obtained relief, and the suf-
ferers from rheumatism were numerous,
some being terribly crippled.
The phenomena of the spring were re-
markable and unique. Those who bathed
in it's waters felt pleasing currents of the
subtle energy coursing through their
anatomy; and when a cup (Which was
chalned) was touched 70 its surface a
shock was felt by the arm which held the
cup Marvellous success came to the SAN
itarium, and wealth was rapidly coming
to the young men during the several
months that the cure was in operation,
until one day party Of electricians visi-
ted the place and discovered the secret OF
the springs peculiar action. Thereupon,
fearing the wrath OF the people the young
men fled leaving everything behind.
The visiting electricians. strolling over
the mountain, had found wires. and these
were traced into the spring. Beneath the
rocky bottom Of the basin there was a
network of the conductors. The secret Of
the shock obtained at the drinking place
was found to lie in the fact that the water
was connected with wire, and when the
cup touched the surface a circuit was
formed. The discovery of tho fraud de.
stroped in many cases all the good that
had been done by the treatment
