A CURIOUS CALCULATION.
Around the World 2oe Times.

An eminent physician has made curious
mathematical calculation in giving the
workings of the human heart in mileage.
He shows that in lifetime of "a years
the blood as ii passes through the heart is
thrown a distance Of 9, l50,SSO miles, which,
in continuous stream, would reach around
the world 206 times
Keeping in view this constant strain on
the heart, and taking into consideration the
abuse it receives from over-exertion, alco-
holic and other stimulants, is ii any wonder
that it finally becomes affected, refuses TO
perform its work, and causes death2 The
fact can be readily understood that one in
four has weak heart, also the Importance Of
treating that organ as soon as its affected con-
dition is in the slightest degree manifested.
Reader, II you have any reason whatever
for believing your heart to be affected, you
should attend to it at once. Do not hest
tate Many persons who die suddenly Of this
disorder have never suspected its presence.

years ago began to have difficulty In breathing,
palpitation Of the heart set In, and my limbs and
ankles were badly swollen. Physicians said

In a lengthy criticism Of Mr.. ElIo'S
Dosit:on. the Washington Post points Gus
that there may be, and doubtless are
some people" who would like TO sSe
the gates closed against any and all I'M
migration. but their number is small.
They have not been sufficiently poten-
nal to impress their views on Congress
or either Of the great parties. None OF
the immigration bills introduced during
the last session of Congress proposed
10 shu: out such immigrants ~ az gen
orally deemed desirable elements IN a
community. The greatest restriction
Droposed-and the influence OF Dr..
Elior,s fellow-citizens of Massachusetts
was behind twas the exclusion Of per-
sons over fourteen years Of age who
could not read and write in any language
Considering the discouraging prevalence
OF fli,eracy in this country. in spite OF
enormous expenditures for education, it
does not seem expedient 70 increase it
by importation. Looking
a, the statistics Of our penal institutions,
aad seeing how large a number Of Hit
crate aliens they contain, it seems mex
pedient TO 20 on importing such persons.
II we look in.o me labor market we find
little encouragement for importing per-
sons too ignorant to get living by any
other means than competition with those
who do the coarsest work for the lowest
wages.
We have NO doubt that it is unfair to
charge the defects Of municipal govern
men. TO naturaliz7d citizens. We realize
as fully as DR.. Eliot can the great bene-
fits which immigration has conferred on
this country. We have no sympathy
with any proposition looking TO the ex-
clusion Of immigrants who would be
helpful factors in building up States.
But il is evident to all who know any,
thing Of the subject that the character
Of European immigration to the United
States has undergone a great change int
recent years. We are getting much ma
-erial that we do not want and cannot
afford 10 take. DR.. Eliot, in the extract
quoted above. is far more sentimental
Than practical.

A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
RAYMOND UttermOhlen, aSouth Side Boy
Has a Leg Crushed By Wheel.
The Mishap Occurred at the Boggs
Run Mining Company's Coal
Shute at Forty-Bighth Street.
Amputation of the Limb Render
ed Necessary Victim will Re
cover.

A very distressing accident occurred
Friday evening at the coal chute OF the
Boggs' Run Mining Co., At Forty-eighth
street. As q result the victom. Raymond
Uttermohlen. a boy eight years of age. has
lost his left limb. The mishap took place
while several cars of coal were being
taken out of the mine by means of a long
cable.
The cable makes several turns around
a number of wheels on the otside and
heavy power is used to pull the cable
with the heavy load attached. In the
winding of the cable around the wheels
anything that would come In between it
and the wheel would be literally crushed.
This is just what happened to the un-
fortunate boy. He tried to step across the
cable near the wheel Whine it was in mo-
ton. and by some miscalculaion got his
leg caught by the cable. The cable drew
his leg further toward the wheel and in
much less time than it takes to tell it, the
member was terribly crushed between the
cruel wheel and the heavy rope.
So tightly was his limb wedged in be-
tween the two that the wheel ceased 10
revolve and the cable kept slipping around
the motionless wheel. The boys pitiful
cries attracted the attention of the man
ager. who was in his house near by. He
rushed to the bell wire and gave it a
terrific pull The engineer promptly
stopped the machinery and the suffering
lad was lifted up.
He was removed to DR.. Haskins Hos
pital and it was found that his left leg
at the knee was terribly crushed. 1t was
found that it was impossible for the blood
TO circulate and yesterday afternoon it
was found necessary TO amputate the leg
near the knee.
This was skllfully done and at last ac-
counts the boy was resting easy. The
victim is a son of VIM. Uttermohlen. of
Forty-eighth street, who is much sorrow
stricken over the terrible accident that
befel his son. Another son was killed a few
years ago by being run over by an engine
at the Riverside mill.

England is a great "bluffer. The
remainder Of the world have lost faith
in her promises. For awhile it looked
on open mouthed at her brave threats
against the Turk. But England is owned
BY her immense private financial inter-
ests and while her statesmen might do
the right thing and stop the atrocities
Of the Turk they are not allowed to by
the moneyed interests, who fear in case
Of war the consequences TO their purses.
But there is some humanity left in
European governments and it is notice
able mat since the French minister to
ConstantinOple has commanded the Sui
tan to stop the present reign of terror
or take the consequences, all Europe has
pricksd uD its ears. 1t looks good deal
more like business than anything thd
English have done to stop the infamous
and brutal slaughter Of the Armenians
and ne horrible atrocities practiced upon
those helpless people.
