lamp, the preparation of the subject, and

Of the Lancet is employing a new me-
dunn for the direct view SCREEN which
gives excellent results.
Recently he undertook to obtain 4
photograph of the course and location of
bullet which was presumably lodged
between the heart and lungs of a British
officer. The gentleman, Maj. A. Leon
ard, was shot at the battle of Abu Kru,
during the Nile campaign in 1885. For
long time his life was despaired Of,
but he recovered, and is now curious to
learn whether the Remington bullet of
the Dervishes can be extracted, as the
army surgeons failed to find it with the
probe.
After an exposure of thirty-two min
utes to the Roentgen rays, the lamp hav-
ing been placed at Maj. Leonard's back,

But this is unkind. The Carnation is
of too pronounced a type, too dazzling
and piquant to be lightly forgotten or
jestingly spoken of. The most fragrant,
almost, of all the flowers, we must speak
of it with reverence and respect.
The Carnati is the "Flower of Wit

Fashionable FreemaSOnry.

There is sort of frpemasonry among
people belonging to what is known as the
''snlart set and they have almost an
"argot" of their own, with the shib-
boleths and passwords that happen to be
in the fashion for the moment, and
which. before they are even perceived
by outsiders, pass out of existence.
One of the chief and most marked
characteristics of the day: one which up
to certain point is certainly desira BILE
and commendable, is an entire want of
affectation in the majority of this ''set."
It seems to be 'the thing just now to be
quite genuine and natural. and it is con-
sidered bad form to be otherwise. An
glomania. which was rife few years
ago. seems to have disappeared entire

class are today frankly and decidedly
American. All this is, as has been said.

this naturalness, if one may call it so,
is apt to go too far among intimates, and
become little too free. and easy, while

Teaching Young People to Walk.

In the smart private schools of Gotham
nowadays the youthful 400 are taught
to walk properly, for Il graceful gait is of
the highest Importance to woman who
is ambitious to shine in society. She
may have lovely face, Il superb figure,
but if she has an ugly gait the charm is
lost and she sinks into commonplaceness
at once. Nearly every woman walks far
too rapidly for anything like grace to
enter into her movements. Tall wom-
en-, for some reason, walk more slowly
than short ones, and, therefore, are more
graceful.
The jerky woman is to be found in
large numbers among nervous society

A Meteor When In Business.

We owe our immunity to our atmosphere,
which serves as a bulletproof cuirass for
the world. When meteor enters the at.
mospkere, the friction produced by its gi.
gantic speed makes it flash up like the ar
row Of Acestes, only more so. The ingcn-
ious experiments of Lord Kelvin have
shown that the heat thus produced, just as
brake showers sparks from carriage
wheel or u lucifcr match lights Oh the
box, is sufficient To consume the meteor as
II it were suddenly cast into "a furnace
heated to three or four million degrees.
Obviously the smaller meteors are utterly
consumed before they have penetrated far
into the atmosphere, which their fate has
shown to rise to a height Of about 100
miles
Only very Argc one can descend, as
that Of Madrid Is said TO have done, To
within 20 miles Of the earth before being
burst by :he expansion due TO heat and by
the resistance of the air. The fact that
fragments do occasionally reach the earth
is the best proof of the great size OF some
of the meteors that we encounter. IL IL
were not for the blessed air, the explo-
sion of them all, with the accompanying
fervent heat, would take place in our
midst. 1t is safe TO say that such a state
of things would render our great towns
uninhabitable. In London we are some
what inclined to gird at the atmosphere,
with its smoke, and its fog, and it's east
wind But none OF us can tell how oftep
1t has saved him from terrible and invis-
ible fate, In being, as Mark Twain has it,
"shot with n rock" IL we are more in
clined to recognize the atmosphere services
In future, the Madrid meteor will not have
exploded In vain.--London Spectator.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 3.-The papers in
a sensational suit in the United States court
have been served. 1t is the suit of L. G..
Dillman, prominent real estate dealer, Of
Spokane against the Northern Pacific Rail-
road company, and in the complaint he tells
In full the story of the gigantic frauds prac-
ticed by Schulze, In connection with the sale
of lands adjacent to Spokane.
Dillman asks for the return OF $312, 900, OF
which he says he was deliberately defrauded;
for $112, 400 damages, which he claims to have
suffered by reason of false representations,
and for the further sum Of s65, co., which he
claims to have paid out on promissory notes
signed in behalf of the road. This suit is di-
rected against the receivers, McHenry and
Bigelow, of the Eastern district, and Receiv-
er Burlegh, of this district, and also against
the Farmers Loan and Trust company, as
holding a mortgage on the Northern Pacific,
the complainant claiming that the money has
passed into the hands Of the receivers, and
was used by them to pay interest on the
mortgage, and that they now hold the bal
ance in the treasury, of which they have
control.
DilIman states that the receivers are per-
fectly willing to make proper adjudication
If the courts can decre6 the real amount OF
the indebtedness. He asks that the deeds to
the Spokane property be declared deeds for
his benefit, and that the property be excluded
from the smortgage held by the Farmers
Loan and Trust company He asks that all
persons be enjoined from taking possession
of the property until an investigation OF the
charges made by him can be had, and that
the reorganization or passing of the road
from the hands of receivers into those OF
bendholders be stayed or held subject and
subordinate to his rights, and those rights
shall be decreed by the court.
