The Deadly Turned Down Lamp.

Who would suppose that turn

diphtherIa? We are all accustOm-
ed to the disagreeable fumes arising
from this cause; and when New
York was suffering from an cpl
demic of diphthe,ia, the board of
health decided that it's presence was
to be attributed to the fumes Of a
kerosene lamp turned down low
more than to any other single
cause. Whether or not this be so.
it certainly is a mistaken kindness
on the part Of an indulgent moth

turned down. A turned down kerr
osene lamp is magazine Of deadly

Cleveland Advice.

The Star says that recently Pres
ldent Cleveland stated to a promi-
nent politician his views on the
democratic outlook. He expects tC
see the party brought back into
the true democratic path. His idea
seems to be that because the major
lty of the democratic party failed
to support Mckinley and follow
the Indianapolis platform that they
ought to repent and follow after
those who know right from wrong
himself, for instance. He fur
ther says that the radical element
OF the party, composed as it is of
men who enthusiastically endorse
all the dangerous doctrines pro-
claimed at Chicago, will shortly be
swallowed up in the populist Or
ganizatlon." If that element Of tie
party, to which Mr.. Cleveland re-
tiers, is the democratic party it will
consume the greater portion of the
true democratic party, and in its
next convention will not include
the traitors who have by skull
duggery" sold out to corporations
and betrayed sacred trusts. Gro
yer Cleveland has betrayed his par
by once, and if he eyer again claims
allegiance, he will have to a party
pot bearing the name, Democratic.

Engiand's Famous House.

The news that the house No. 10
Downing street, London, is to BE- torn
down, to make room for more pre-
.ensious structure, has created much
discussion throughout Great Britain
md cannot fail to arouse interest here.
For 200 years the mighty British en-
3ire has been ruled from this dingy
house. which is associated not with one
liustrious name alone in English his
DRY, but with hundreds of them. No.
10 Downing street has been the official
Great Britain since the beginning Of
he last century, it's first occupant of
hat rank being Sir Robert Walpole.
Among his successors at No. 10 Down
ing street was Lord North, the states
man to whom England is mainly in
debted for that war OF independence
that resulted in the loss OF the Ameri-
can colonies. 1t was TO room at No.
10 Downing street that the great Lord
Chatham was carried after he swooned
in the House Of Lords during the men,
orable debate on American affairs, and
.
the heaven-born mZiister, who made it
his constant residence, had his heart
broken by the first Napoleon. Fox lived
there, and so did Charming. while the
only occasion on which Lord Nelson
ever met the great Duke of Wellington
was In the waiting-room Of No. 10
Downing street, where both were wait
ing to see the prime minister. Well
lington, at that time only Sir Arthur
Wellesley, knew the celebrated admiral
from his picture. Nelson, however, did
not know Sir Arthur, but was SO struck
with his conversation that he stepped
out Of the room to inquire who he
might be- Earl Grey made Downing
street his residence, as did also Mr.
Gladstone and Lord Beaconsfield. while

X Rays and Tuberculosis.

Exhaustive experiments with y rays
on the germs of tuberculosis have been
reported to the French Academy of Sci
ence. A number of guinea pigs were
inoculated with tuberculosis virus. Half
of them were subjected to the rays
every day for eight weeks. Both lots
were treated precisely alike. with the
exception of the application Of the rays.
At the end of the experiment 1t was
found that the guinea pigs treated with
the rays were In excellent health and
had grown fat. The others had devel-
oped assesses and were evidently all
ing. 1t Is fact long established that
light kills certain sorts Of germs. 1t
may be that in this wonderful discov-
cry cure for or mitigation Of this
dread disease has been found. Certain
ly 1t would seem to be in order to pur-
sue this subject with good deal of
earnestness. tuberculosis patients
might be put under the X rays with a
view to ascertaining their effect upon
the human organization. If X rays
kill tuberculosis germs, discovery has
been made that will rank with any
thing ever developed in the study Of
medical science.

Water Born Diseases.

There are and have been filters and
filters, many of them utterly worthless,
and most of them but a poor apology
for the work they claim to dc. What
is known as the Pasteur system is high
ly spoken Of, as it Is conclusively
proven that many contagious diseases
have been almost IL not altogether
checked by it's use. In India, where
cholera has fiourished for many years.
the health of the inhabitants has i'm
proved wonderfully and the death rate
has decreased since the Pasteur filter
has been introduced. The filter plant,
while it is not especially complicated,
is complete and thorough. The minut-
est flaw in the pipes and cells can be
Immediately detected, as compressed
air fills certain portions of the pipes
during the clearing process. Acidulat-
ed water is driven through the cells,
removing all deposits and sterilizing
the entire system. One man is able
to manage a plant of large size, and as
there is but little wear and tear, the
cost OF maintaining a system is but
trifiing.

bulb, which just fits into the hand.
A short rubber tube extends from one
end of the bulb to a rubber band which
is fastened about the wrist. This band
is double. and the outer band is pune
tured with numerous small holes which
allow the air within the bulb to escape
when the hand is closed. When the
hand is opened the air is drawn into
the bulb. and the exercise consists in
opening and closing the fingers OF the
hand. the muscular action required to
force tho air from the bulb giving the
necessary exercise. On the same prin-
ciple that a person who sits all day
finds rest and relief in walk, so the
exercise of one set of muscles in the
hand rests and brings relief to another
set which may be overworked, and no
iii effects are felt.

cies Of fish during a summers dredging
but 1T has been many years since so
rare a fish was caught as the one call
ing forth this article. On Sept Is
1896, while fishing on the banks some
twenty-eight miles south-southwest OF
Cape Flattery in the schooner Weno
ma, Capt. jacobson caught a strange
and uncommonly beautiful fish in
eighty-fve fathoms of water. The fish
is 26@ inches long. II inches deep. and
about four inches thick. 1t weighs
twenty pounds, and in high coloring
surpassss nearly every other fish OF the
ocean. The top of the head is a brick
red, the back is a metallic blue, shad-
ing to an aluminium color on the belly
The mesian line is strongly arched and
marked by a series Of large scales. The
whole fish is covered with pure white
round spots. The fms are strong spined
and extend nearly the whole length OF
the fish. The long spine of the dorsal
is ten inches in length. The tail is
lunate. The color of the fms is bright
vermillion, edged with sulphur yellow.
The mouth is small and toothless, the
lower lip protruding and Of vermil-
lion color. The eyes are large and
round. None of the books on fishes in
the libraries of the University Of Wash
