Within short time three great discov-
cries have been made known to the world,
DR.. Edson's consumption cure, the discov-
cry Of the north pole and the photography
Of the cathode ray.
DR.. Cyrus Edson's newly discovered
remedy for consumption, aseptolin, con-
tinues to attract great deal of attention
in the medical world. A large number of
cases have been treated in New York and
with highly encouraging success. The for
mula for compounding aseptolin is,
Water, (H2O) 97,2411
Phenol (C6H7O) 2.74Ol
Pilocarpine- -phenyl hvdroxide
(C11H1GN2O2CH CGH5, 0.0188
Total, 100.
This REMEDY is introduced into the sys-
TEN by hypodermic injection and the fluid
acts upon the blood, destroying the bacilli
of tuberculosis in whatever portion Of the
patients organism found. DR.. Edison does
not claim that his discovery is a positive
cure for all cases of tuberculosis; but be-
lieves that aseptoln will successfully check
the progress of tuberculosis in its early
stages and completely and thoroughly rid
the system of the bacilli If this remedy
proves as effective as believers in it think it
will it will be one of the greatest discov-
cries in the history of the world and place

everlasting fame.
Last Thursday the world was startled by
the announcements that DR.. Fridjof Nansen
of Norway had discovered the north pole.
This report was at first discredited but in
dications are that the great explorer
actually reached the vicinity of the pole
and is on his way home.
Nansen took the preliminary steps
towards fitting out his expedition and the
Fran was planned and constructed. She
is generally classed as a three -masted
| sailing schooner, but she had 160-horse
! power steam engine in addition to her sails.
Her displacement was 800 tons and her
sides were so constructed as to force all ice

thus preventing ''pinching" and "screwing. .
The Norwegian Parliament allowed Nam
sen about S52 900 to fit out his craft, and
IN addition he was assisted in his work by
many private subscriptions, including one
of $1,000 from King Oscar The Fran
was launched on October 26, 1892, al
! Laurwik, near Christiania
The ration OF each man is to consist o.
four biscuits day. This, at least, wa.

Silk Is used as the most suitable materia
for tents, as it shuts out the cold better
than anything else.
The crew numbered II men and all oc
cupy the cabin, which measures only l;
feet square. There they dwell, eat ant
work. The suits they wear cannot be pen
etrated by water.
The expedition sailed from Christiani,
June "a, 1898, the doctors plan being t.

thence head north until the Fran, bcin.
imbedded in the ice, would be compelled
Ito drift along the west coast of any Ian,
which might be found.
The system of photography by means G
the cathode or X-ray is just now engrossin,
the attention of the scientific world. An,
one doesn't know yet whether it is fray
or not. Some of its effects have been dis
covered but what the thing itself is no on
has affirmed with certainty. A '.rayn is
