MEDICAL AMENITIES IN BRAZIL.

Experiences of DR.. Fort, Who Criticised
Brazilian Doctors.
In 1880 French medical graduate
named Fort established himself at Rio
de Janeiro, where he soon acquired
great reputation as skillful surgeon,
thereby somewhat arousing the jeal-
ousy Of the local practitioners Re-
turning to Paris after some years OF
repatriation he published his impress
sions Of the Brazilian capital, making
particular mention of the defective sys-
tenn of instruction in operation at the
School of Medicine, and animadverting
with much severity on the extreme lack
of zeal manifested by the students. A
few months ago DR.. Fort again visited
Rio de Janeiro, but had it not been for
the intervention of the French ambas-
sador the reception he was accorded
by his former colleagues and their pu-
pills might well have been attended by
serious consequences. The following
description of the fracas is furnished
by local paper: AT midday Our door
street was blocked by upward Of 500
students crying with one voice, Death
to Fortr Dividing into groups they
then proceeded to the various neWspa-
per Offices in the town, demanding the
cooperation Of the press in publishing
the base maligner Who,in their persons,
had dared TO insult the whole of Brazil
and it's inhabitants After this they
searched the hotels for their victim in
order to lynch him, but happily DR..
Fort was absent from the city that
day. Thus foiled they organized an
execution in effigy with a funeral pro-
cession, the starting point of which
was at the Medical Faculty. Upward of
thousand students accordingly
emerged from the faculty the next
morning in regular order, each individ-
ual carrying in his hand a lighted Ia
per, while at the head of the column
there was a catafalque with coffin
containing the eff1gy. On either side
robed students bearing extra large cam
dies marched as pallbearers, and scat
tered along the line was a plentiful dis
play of banners decorated with asses
heads and uncomplimentary illusions
to Brazils caluminator. So realistic
was the whole scene that prayers for
the dead were chanted while the pro-
cession was en- route, and when the
final act of cremation took place in San
Francisco square it was accompanied
by the solemn strains Of De Profun-
dis" By a later account we learn
that DR.. Fort was able to embark on
the La Plata safe and sound" and also
convinced, we should think, that Bra
lillian medical students have still some
zeal left.-The Lancet.

An Aerial Torpedo.

The torpedo consists of small sized
gas-filled ballon, capable of sustaining
for any length of time from thirty to
forty pounds at an elevation OF from
500 to 1000 feet above the earth. In
side of the lower or smallend of the
balloon is placed metal cylinder,
which contains an electrical device,
the purpose of which is to ignite the
gas in the balloon at any stated period.
Underneath the balloon is suspended
case or basket containing high ex-
plosive. similar to dynamite, which ex-
plodes with terrific force when strik-
ing a hard substance, like the earth or
walled entertainments. In action, the
management of the torpedo is described
as very easy and simple, the inventor
stating that corporals guard can with
it accomplish what would require a
large force to do by the usual methods
now employed in the siege OF cities,
or the scattering of large bodies OF
troops. The torpedo complete is small
and compact, and a large number can

Until recently. however, only expensive

At present it seems almost impossible

KILLED nv Popularity.

When ON his death bed Du Maurier
declared that popularity had killed
him.
I believe he spoke the truth, and
that he made a better diagnosis of his
malady than the scientific one which
the doctors give. Under a nervous
strain such as ''Trilby's" creator en-
dured, no man may last long unless his
heart be Of stone and his nerves Of
steel.
Long years before, in the quest Of
fame and fortune, the poor artist Gas
all poor artists do) had worn out his
nervous system-as many a man OF
genius has done before the unheeding
world discovered that he was verify
of Gods elect.
And then when the thunder burst OF
applause did come, the shock was too
great-and it killed him.
"Killed by popularity! 1t sounds
incredible, doesn't it?
And yet popularity is what killed
poor Shelley, and the tendervoiced
Keats, and, latterly, our own Eugene
Field.
But, brother, to have written such
things as these men wrote might make
one we'll content to die in the fullness
of ones prime.-Cincinnati CONNER
