Valuable Species of Wood.

One of the most remarkable products
of Nevada is a species of wood known
as mountain mahogany, which, when
dry, is as hard as lockwood, very fine
grained, red in color, and OF vary high
specific gravity. 1t has been used for
boxes for shaftings, and, In some In
stances, for slides and dies In quartz
batteries. 1t burns with blaze es long
lasting as ordinary wood, but after go
ing through what appears TO be regular
combustion it is found almost IN
changed in form, being converted into
charcoal that lasts about twice as long
- ordinary wood, giving out intense
heat, greater than coal, all the time.

BOMB FOR PHYSICIANS.
Remarkable Views Expressed by
the Noted DR.. Schweningsr
Bismarck's Medical Adviser Says Nature
Is the Best Healer and Drugs Are
of Little Use--How Best to
Preserve Health.

There is a good deal of commotion
in medical circles at present in conse-
quence of lecture which was recently
delivered by DR.. Schweninger in Ber-
lin. DR.. Schweninger has been foa
years Prince Bismarck's physician, and,
like the eX-chanceller, is extremely
blunt and outspol1en. He has strong
convictions and never takes the trouble
to conceal them. When he prescribes
his favorite course of treatment, in
which the use of water plays leading
part, he sees that his instructions are
obeyed, and not even Prince Bismarck
ventures to disregard them.
I In word, says the New York Herald,
the doctor is a man of striking indlvid-
uality, and hence his opinion on any
subject is interesting. Especially
worthy of notice are his views on medi-
cine, as this is the subject to which
be has devoted the best years of his
life.
In his lecture the doctor spoke of
medicine and doctors of medicine in
O manner that will astonish all con-
seryatiye physicians. We have no more
physicians, he said, but in their place
we have d host of specialists. Medical
men of the old school have passed away,
making room for men of younger
generation, each of whom, instead of
laboring to acquire thorough knowl-
edge of medicine in all its branches, is
satisfied if he can acquire a sufficient
knowledge of one branch to enable
him to style himself a specialist.
Equally radical are his views in re-
gard 10 the new therapeutical methods
of treating various diseases. Serothera-
Ply, in his opinion, will have outlived
it's usefulness within the next half
century, and the practice of vaccination
should only be tolerated and should

and thereby to the rear axle. The We
hicle is made of hickory wood and steel
tubes, to secure the greatest lightness
and strength. 1t has been tried in Ber-
lin, and has been found to reach high
er speed than the apparatus drawn by
horses, which in any German city is not
saying much, and, if the distance is not
too great, gets the men to the fire in ex-
cellent condition. So far as the trials
have gone, the firemen easily become
accustomed to pedaling in unison, so
that hills are even taken without diff
Guilty. The wagon has proved itself
very easy to maneuver, and to be espe-
cially easy 10 turn. 1t carries only the
most important fire approximations,
axes, etc. 1t is intended to be u sort of
vanguard of the not too expeditions
fire apparatus of Berlin and to get wa
ter to the height of a fourth story be-
fore the engines arrive, which can be
done by the pressure at the hydrants.
The Berlin fire department has already
adopted the bicycle as an adjunct, and
expects to obtain valuable results from
the use of the same principle of locomo-
ton in this wagon.

under no circumstances be made com
prllsory. To many modern "fads" the
doctor Is decidedly opposed, and he
says, without fear OF consequences, that
cycling rs the cause of many ills.
He goes even further. Our modern
dress is not pleasing to his eyes, and
| he insists that men and women cannot
! enjoy perfect health as long as the lat
ter wear corsets and the former hats.
away with hats and corsets' is his
persistent cry. And he tells us why he
is convinced that these articles of APP
parel are injurious to human health.
The popular opinion is that corsets are
likely to prove injurious on account
of the pressure which they bring to
bear upon delicate portion of the
body, but DIR. Schweninger, on the
contrary, maintains that they are in
furious not because they fit too tightly
round the body, but because they are
too heavy.
He objects to mems hats for much
the same reason They press too heavi-
ly on the head, he says, and also pre-
vent the air from circulating as it
should, the result being general ten
dency to badness. The modern fash
ion of wearing the hair short is also
distasteful to him, and he warns us that
our health is not improved thereby.
He would much rather see us wear
our hair long, after the fashion of the
old Merovingians and the modern ath-
leteS.
1t will be seen that onall these points
the doctor is a reactionary, a pro-
nounced laudatur tempoTis acti.
AS regards the benefits of medicine
he Is decidedly skepttcal. Know your
self Is his advice, and then, II you take
proper care Of yourself, you will not
need any medicine. Should some dis
ease unexpectedly attack you, the best
thing you can do is to wait patiently
until ht leaves you. AS a rule, he
claims that drugs and doctors prove of
little service
The doctor, as will be seen, Is In many
respects a true disciple Of Htppocrates.
Tho latter believed firmly In the heal
ing power OF nature-the words natura
medicatrix were ever ON his lips-and
the former chanceilors physician Is
also firm believer in the same power.
He reminds us somewhat, too, of Galen
and Parecelsus, and there Is no doubt
that he has learned from these ancient
worthless.
His views on medicine and other mat.
ters are certainly novel, but it would
be rather rash to assume from them
that the doctor is utterly opposed TO
all modern methods of treating the
sick. He rather seems to urge us not
to have recourse to drugs on every
trffing occasion, but to accept nature
cs our healer He says no harsh words
about physicians, and it is evident that
he would give his best support to those
brethren of his own profession who
would be willing to take Hippocrates
and nature as their guides and to aban-
don many of our vaunted modern drugs
and so-called panaceas.
In conclusion, it may be said that
DR.. Schweningers reputation as ply
stefan was made years ago, and his
views, therefore, on this vital subject
are entitled to every consideration
Even those who disapprove of them
must admit that they are exceedingly
original and interesting.
