Inoculation For Yellow Fever.

AT the meeting of the American Pub
lie Health association at Denver, DR..
Manuel Garmona y Vale Of Mexico
read description Of his discovery of q
certain cure for yellow fever, which he
has used successfully in hundreds Of
cases. His method is to make subcu-
famous injection in the cellular tissue
of the arm Of secretion taken from @
yellow fever patient between the fourth
and fourteenth days Of the fever. This
effects cure, but the disease can be
guarded against in this way, just as
smallpox is guarded against by vaccina-

LIQUID AIR.
1t May Take the Place of Oxygen In SUBJ
marine Navigation.
Times.

Liquid air may play an important part
in submarine navigation. 1t was believed
fow years ago that oxygen would solve
tho problem of furnishing q reasonably
wholesome atmosphere to submarine boats,
and submarine craft equipped with oxy-
gon rctorts instead of compressed air re-
forts remained many hours under water,
while its occupants played cards, ate
hearty meal and did other things that had
hitherto been done only above tho surface
of tho water. Tho advantage of oxygen
over compressed dir lies in the fact that
less of the formor than of tho latter IL
needed in submarine navigation, and there
fore q less weight of metallic rotorts has
to be carried. In the seemingly successful
experiment the oxygen was permitted to
escape In small quantities into tho atmos-
phcre of the vessel when tho conduct of q
small flame indicated tho presence of too
much carl1onic acid and consequent dearth
Of oxygen. Little has been heard of oxy-
gen equipped submarine craft since the ex-
pertinent, and now liquid air has arrived,
perhaps to furnish exactly tho thing need
cd, rather than makcshift substitute for
normal atmosphere.
Since London company has been form.
ed for tho purvoying of liquid air, it looks
as If tho proper apparatus for handling it
had been provided, nnd suggests the early
employment Of the liquid in submarine
navigation. There seems tho possibility
Of submarine craft that shall get rid of
Its impure dir by soIne means yet to DO In
vented, and substitute for 1t tho needed
amount of pure air slowly converted from
the liquid to tho gaseous form. An ingen-
ious but totally unscientific person has
suggested tho possibility of submarine
craft safely navigating tho still ocean
depths, undisturbed by motion of wind or
wave, with retorts of pure liquid mir care
fully kept i'll freezing mixture, but con-
stantly permitted to leak the necessary
quantity per minute to supply tho place of
tho Initiated air laden with poisonous exha-
lations from the lungs of the crew and
passengers. Tho hostile battleship would
mover be safe from sudden submarine at
tack and the pcstiforous smuggler would
bob up seronoly at midnight iii remote
harbors, land his contraband goods, and
be off.-Now York Sun.

WHAT THE GRAND DUKE HEARD.
European Officers Discussed the Capture
of American Cities.

of American Cities.
The Grand Duke Alexis was Mt Kiel.
BE is full Russian admiral now, and
the head Of the Russian navy. He was o
frequent visitor to the Americans, and,
like all the other notnbles, talked with
the utmost frankness to our officers.
One day, Watching the Columbia as
she rode the waves rs lightly and with
the easy grace Of blue wing teal, the
grand duke said to a captain: m glad
you Americans are rebuilding your fleet.
Do you know what most impressed me
when I visited your country? Let me
tell you. The first thing was your WON
derful national wealth; the second, the
absolutely inadequate means ut your dis
posal for national defense. You were
like drunken man with pockets full Of
money and two or three hungry ruff1ans
on the dark side Of the street waiting a
chance to attack him."
"Why, do you mean to say began
the somewhat startled captain, when
the Russian put his hand on the others
arm and said: "Twice in my career I
have heard the project Of capturing one
or two Of your great cities and holding
them for ransom deliberately discussed
by officers Of European fleets whose
countries had hard work to make ends
meet. And they meant it too. once
made sensation when, after listening
to conversation of this kind, in which
the officers of four different fleets took
part, I said: Gentlemen, the United
States and Russia are friends. Should
she be unjustly attacked, Russia would
help to see that the wrong was righted ,

Tho Faust Legend.

Almost every renowned man Of an
tiquity in the middle ages was believed
to be attended by spiritus familiaris,
and not few were suspected of being
in direct league with the devil. Proba-
bly, the Oldest legend Of which the Faust
legend is continuous thread is that Of
Simon Magus, mentioned i'll the history
of the apostles.
According to Justin, he was native
Of Clifton, village il Samaria. He
was, no doubt, man Of great intellec-
tual powers. He was the father of the
school Of the Gnostics. 1t is also report
ed Of him that he could make himself
invisible, that he could pass through
flames unframed, could transpose mat
ter, maize gold and exercise demons-in
fact, he laid claim to all these powers
and his name lived in the mouths of the
people as sort Of Demiurg through
many centuries until some other miracle
working personality took his place at
the popular fireside. Unusual accom-
plishments, great erudition, were at
trlbuted to the supernatural influence,
and the general disposition to supersti-
tious assumption was strengthened on
the ono hand by dogmatic affirmation
on the part of the church of the exist
ence of personal satan, with his nu-
merous household, and, on the other
hand, by incorporating the magic arts
among the practical sciences, of which
astrology and alchemy occupied no mean
part. -Menorah.

SPECIAL COTTON DYES.
IMPOSSIBLE FOR WOOL DYE-sTUFFs
TO COLOR COTTON GOODS.

beautiful and Brilliant OoIors In Diamo nd
Dyes That Will Not Fade-sImple and
Easy for Home Use-AbsoIuteIy Fast.
It is an absolute impossibility to find
dyes that will make fast colors on both
cotton and wool goods, as the former is
vegetable product, while wool comes
from an animal, and hence the two are
so different that 1t dem ands different
kind of dye for each, The truth of this
he's been found to their sorrow by
women who have tried to dye cotton
with package dyes that claim to color
both cotton and wool, for they mako
only dingy color that soon fades.
The special fast cotton colors of
Diamond Dyes. such as turkey red,
brown, pink, purple. yellow, and half
dozen others, are prepared specially for
cotton goods. and give colors that even
washing in strong soapsuds and exposure
to the sunlight will not fade.
It is an easy matter to dye with Dla-
mond Dyes. as thousands OF women
know from practical experience, and in
this way, oae can make the old clothing
look like new and save great many
dollars In the course of the year.
Do not risk your goods with the ordi-
nary dyes that some deslers may urge
yon TO buy. simply because they make
more profit In selling them. There IS
n,ahing that equals the Diamond.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Miss Nethersole as "Denise " In the Prov
idence Opera House.

At one time Denise Brlssot, then
young girl, was madly In love with Fer
nand dc Theuzette. The upshot OF the
passion was disgrace and abandonment.
To save the young sister OF the man she
loves with all her maturer neart from
falling into the hand OF the same liber-
tine, Denise tells the story OF her early
shame. She tells II fully, comp letely.
and with ample details. She doesn't
mince matters in making her confession.
The telling OF the story to the man whom
she loves and who loves her is the strong
scene OF the play. The audience weeps
quite generally in sympathy with the SIM
ulated tears OF the stage. Needless to OBJ
serve, the story Is neither a pretty nor
delicate tale. II is not the kind OF
Story, for instance, that the m odern
young woman would care to permit her
ma NINA to hear. II is nearly all there Is
to "Denise,', that and the side lights
from il.
This play OF Dumas assumes to show
how people holding different relations to
the shamed girl would take the story OF
how they should take it-and the girl.
There is the mother, the father, the lover
and the inevitable friend OF wise saws
and worldly philosophy all cog infant Of the
story and the play presents their different
emotions under the circumstances. Ii
also presents the pic. ure of a woman whose
love is enough to prompt her to sacrifice
herself and all her prospective happiness
rather than to be untrue to a better
nature.
so there is emotionalism enough and in
great variety. Unlike most emotional
dramas, Denise ends with the promise
OF happiness.
An impression Of the kind OF play 1t is
gives an ample idea OF what Miss Neither
sole did with II. The Providence Opera
House was we'll filed last evening, and
the ovation given the charming actress
was exhilarating. "Denise' does not en-
tirely control the stage The balance OF
the cast has strong parts and strong
scenes. The company appeared to remark
able advantage. Miss Nethersole simply
drained her audience dry OF tears. No
character in her repertory commands
more from her wonderfully deep, appeal
ing voice than does .Denise.n She was
delightful.
Tonight and for the balance of the week
"Carmen," new piece, will be presented
except for Saturday evening, when
"Deaise' will replace 1t.
