An Enormous Tortoise.

There is reporte from the Isles Egg
mont, in the Indian Ocean, not far
from the Isle Maurice, the capture Of
an enormous male land tortoise, the
largest thus far known. These islands
are without fresh water, though one
OF them has a salt lake of considerable
area. They have not been known
hitherto as the resort of land tor
toises, though the neighboring islands
have them in abundance. This tortoise
and his mate have been on the island
recently at various times. Here are
his chief dimensions:

Horsewhipped For Talking.

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 2S.-Capt.
T. w. Lund, of the steamer City
of Jacksonville, of the Nahant
line, has been arrested charged with
horse.whipping J. A. Flanders,
general agent of the line on Lin
coins wharf, this city. The affair
occurred last Thursday evening.
Lund has heard stories about
himself which were alleged to have
been circulated by Flanders, and
meeting the latter on the wharf
charged him with so doing. Elan.
ders denied the allegation and in a
war of words which followed Lund
became greatly enraged and
savagely dashed Flanders over the
shoulders with a whip. The men
were finally separated by bystand-
ers and the captain since has been
attending to his duties, as Elan.
ders has no power to discharge
him.

The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines
are not necessarily the best. In fact,
as a rule, they are not. What is want
ed Is something mild and sure, such as
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. That is really
pleasant to take when reduced with
water and sweetened. Then it is ac-
knowledged everywhere to be the sue
cessful remedy in the world for bowel
complaints. Ask any number Of drug
gists for the best remedy they have for
diarrhoea and fully nine out of ten
will recommend Chamberlain's. In
speaking of this medicine Mr.. B. B.
Buffum, of Friendsville, Suspuehan-
ma County, Pennsylvania, says: "We
have used it in our family for pain in
the stomach, collie and diarrhoea, and
found it to be the most effective REM
edy." For sale by all druggists.

Asleep on the Track.

An eastbound freight train on
the Southern Pacific railway last
night struck Enoch Knox, a
colored man, who was asleep on
the track near the Goliad street
crossing, in the Seventh ward.
The engine pilot was low and when
it struck him he was thrown of
the track and was not run over.
He was found very much bruised
and was unconscious. He was re-
moved to the city hospital, where
he received medical attention.

POOLING OF FREIGHT CARS

IoOLlNE of IhElGhI CARS.
The pooling of freight equipment is
a subject of the greatest Importance
TO the railways of the country. Their
is probably not single reform which
the railway companies of the country
could institute unless it be a radical
revolution of the rate fixing and tariff
soliciting departments, which would
bring such great returns as general
agreement to pool freight car equip
ment. The expenses of handling
freight in terminals and yards are be-
coming a larger and larger proportion
of the total freight traffic expenses.
The latest statistics show that there
are over One-fourth as many locomo-
tives engaged in switching service as
in road service on freight trains in the
whole United States, and in some Sec
ton the proportion rises to one-third.
This does not tell the whole story,
either, for the locomotives of way
freight trains spend a large part of
their time in switching work at unim.
pOrtant stations. An enormous pro-
portion of this switching service would
be needless if the railways would only
agree upon some plan of joint owner
ship. And this is only one, and by no
means the most important of the bene-
fits that would result from such sys-
TEN.
The fact is that the railways have
progressed so far toward common use
and ownership of their freight equip
ment, that actual joint ownership is
merely an obvious next step in ad-
vance. At present the car which one
railway company owns spends half or
more of its time in the service of other
companies, and is treated in many re-
spects when it is away from home
exactly as if it were common property.
Under the proposed pooling arrange
ment company owning cars would
receive, it would appear, just as much
revenue from them as at present
would be more sure than now of hav-
ing cars to furnish its shippers in time
of heavy traffic, and would share with
all other railways the benefits result
ing from the pooling which Mr. Cavan-
agh, of the Big Four advocates.

A New !Anti0eptic.

We are willing to admit that the ia
panese can give us points on various
industries and mechanical arts, but we
have scarcely been prepared for the
announcement that they are ahead Of
US in certain points in surgery. An
tiseptic dressings are among the abso-
lutely necessary surgical appliances.
There is more or less difficulty in pre-
pairing them, and they are for
the most part expensive, and
many of them are not at all
satisfactory. During the war ia
panese surgeons used the ashes Of rice
straw as a dressing for wounds, and
met with most remarkable success.
The wound was cleaned, the ashes ap-
Piled freely, then sublimate gauze Or
linen was used as a wrapping. These
ashes are said to be perfect antisep-
tic, and owe these qualities to the pres
ence of potassium carbonate. English
and American surgeons are trying this
dressing, and II it is as successful in
their hands as in the japanese, it GER
tainly is wonderful stride in antisep-
tic surgery, and is unquestionably the
cheapest dressing that has ever been
prepared.

DiSlnfectautS.

The diluting of disinfectaats with al
cohol, glycerine and oil makes them in
effectual. DR.. Lent, of the Hygie1ic
Institute of Naples, has found that cor
rosive sublimate dissolved in alcohol
has proved useless; even in 1850 solu-
ton on spores, which were placed in
solution for forty-eight hours, their
virulence was only weakened. By add
ing 10 per cent water to the alcohol,
thegerms were destroyedin II, 900 So
luton. A 2-per-cent solution of corro-
sive sublimate in pure glycerine was
useless even after subjecting the spores
to it for four days. BY adding 40 per
cent water they were destroyed in q
solution of $1,000 in twenty-four
hours. A 10 per cent solution of car
bolic acid in alcohol is useless, and re-
mains SO even up to so per cent. By
adding 80 per cent water the germs
were destroyed in forty-eight hours. A
10 per cent solution of carbolic aciC IN
glycerine proved Intellectual even after
seventy-two hours; 10 per cent water
added did not change it, but after 80 Vor
cent water was added it destroyed the
germs in fcrty-eight hours. A20per cent
solution of carbolic acid in oil, and 20
per cent solution of lysol in oil, ar
both useless.

According to some of the more ad-
vanced scientists. nature furnishes a
cure for every known disease. OF
course, We do not know what the cure
is for most of them, but We are slowly
progressing in that direction. Many
remedies are found out by accident,
and it is by the merest chance that q
new cure has been discovered f0r @ bfl-
liberia. Observing that milk rapidly
absorbs disease germs, experiments
have been tried with milk as a cura-
tive agent. A large sheet is saturated
with milk; the patient is wrapped in
this and tightly covered with blankets,
remaining closely wrapped for some
hours. This treatment is followed by
a warm bath, then the patient is wrap
ped in q dry sheet and put to bed.
This course has been attended with
great success, and it is proposed that
a special department in certain hos
pitfalls be set apart for this purpose.

two feet below its normal level. Dams
have been proposed and various pro-
jects have been thought of, but most OF
them are too costly, while others do
not promise to meet the requirements
Of the situation. As q result OF recent
observations it is stated that the fill
ing in of the lower ends of the lakes
will accomplish this purpose, and at a
very moderate outlay as compared with
the expense of dam-building or any Of
the other ways that have been sug-
gested. AS a matter of fact, the lock
is the only practicable and final out
come Of the problem. Filling up in
