of his studies of neurasthenia, or nerv-
ancholia is the mental reflex of nerv-
Gus fatigue. In a great sorrow the brain
is violently overwrought. There results
q slackening in the functions of all the
organs, dimunition in the tensity of
the muscles, general weakening of
which the brain becomes conscious
through the medium of the sensory
nerves. 1t is this consciousness to
which NJ. de Fleury gives the name of
melancholy. Despite a few excitable
outbursts, he has found neurasthenic
patients habitually sluggish OF. ,diges-
ton, feeble and weakened. The heart
sends q weak stream of pale blood
through the body. Lack of mental en-
ergy also exists, shown by restlessness,
indecision, sloth, lack of concentration
and hypochondria. On the other hand,
cerebral stimulus is shown by pride,
faulty, anger, selfishness and cruelty.
Administer a sedative to one of these
stimulated subjects, and he becomes
sad, passive, timid. Give tonic to a
downcast man, and he will become
gay or passionate. Herein lies the dan
ger in alcohol. A low pressure of blood
in the arteries causes apprehensiveness,
a slightly higher is only indicated by
melancholy and exhaustion, then in
progressive order timidity, gentleness,
Indifference, next cheeriness, mirth, hi
larity. Greater pressure stin brings
courage, tenacity and ardor for work.
Increasing pressure brings the dan
ger point again, as is indicated in turn
by excitability and irritable tendency,
anger, fury and paroxysms-homicidal
tendency. DIR. de Fleury seems con-
yinced that by use of shower and salt
baths, massage, hypodermic injections
Of salt water and artificial serum, phys
ical fatigue and melancholy may be
removed and patient raised to a prop

Carnival of Music and Flowers to be
Held December IA to II.

Carnival of Music and Flowers to be
Held December IA to II.
1t is learned from many of the re-
tail dealers of the city that projected
music and flower festival is very favor
ably considered. The concensus Of
opinion among them is that the dates,
December 18th to 18th, are very desir-
able. The country people who are to
be induced to visit the city will come
for business at that time. The season
has been prosperous and they have
more money to spend now. San An
tonic has always been noted for its
gorgeous Christmas displays, the show
windows being the wonder Of all. Wis
itors will come long way to see them
The unique plan of attaching a cou-
pom to every railroad ticket purchased,
which entities the holder to free adj
mission to all the entertainments OF
the festival, will prove a drawing card
The railways will give the visitors
four days in the city at low rates.
Usually these visitors calculate on sew
eral dollars to spend for admission to
entertainments. On this occasion
superb series of musical programs
will be presented by our best talent.
A popular opera will attract, with
grand concert, while a flower show
will be held during the entire period
This show will offer premiums for out
side exhibits and do everything possi-
BILE to make it attractive. This feat
ure has proven of itself a success in
the past and in combination with a
grand musical entertainment ought to
be more successful this year.
Prof. Schemmel, of the Conservatory,
yesterday formally accepted the direc-
torship of the festival and will do all
he can for it's success. To a Light
reporter he said: san Antonio can
produce an opera that will surprise
everybody. We have the talent and
all 1 am waiting for is the assurance
of the club that they have raised the
funds necessary. Then 1 go to work
to organize the different musical feat
ures."
This entertainment win involve some
expense, Of course and those who reap
the benefit must bear it. The fund
of one thousand dollars ought to be
forthcoming in one day for such a pur-
pose.

NEW ELECTRIC LAMP.
IL May RevoIutionize Present Meth
DDS of illumination.

IL May RevoIutiOnize Present Meth
DDS of illumination.
1t is prophesied that present methods
of illumination are to be superseded by
lamp nearly perfected by Puluj, of
Vienna, one of the earlier experiment
ers on cathode rays. For 10 years he
has been working upon it. Not only
does it generate intense Roentgen rays,
but it also transforms nearly all the
energy of the electric current into light.
Prof. Ebert's experiments prove that
a single horsepower of electric energy
would be sufficient to operate 10000
Puluj lamps. Prof. Lodge, head of the
department of experimental physics
in Universal college, Liverpool, says
that "if mechanical energy can be con-
verted entirely into lightalone one man
turning the crank of a suitable ma
chine could generate enough light for
a whole city," Puluj claims that his
lamp fulflls this condition. Our pres
emit electric lighting system only util-
ICES from one to three per cent. of its
energy in light, the rest passes off in
heat. Puluj's lamp is lighted by means
of an induction coil or a glass plate
electric machine. The static electricity
is the same as lightning. Puluj is in
"the development of ether
cal light vibration by chemical means"

nnnger in EInsttc bands.

A physician recently speaking on the
subject of broad, tight elastic bands
worn to reduce adipose tissue, said that
the desired effect could be easily pro-
duced if the bandages were worn day
and night, but at great cost; that sit
is a, well-known fact that pressure on
any part of the system causes atrophy
and considerable wasting of tissue.
1t acts, in the first place, by shutting off
circulation through the pressure on the
small blood vessels, which bring nutri-
ton to the parts" Air and light are
shut out. The finger wastes where a
ring is constantly worn. An elastic
band worn around the waist reduces
the fat, but also Injuries the internal
organs, producing indigestion and vari-
Gus other ills.

A south Heights resident tells the
story that recently fond mother was
complacently watching her first born
as he prattled on the floor at her feet,
gently gnawing on an apple and play
ing with half a dozen buttons. She
thoughtlessly turned her head away to
glance out of the window for a mo-
ment, while baby tucked the buttons
under the rug on which he was sitting
took an unusually large bite of the
apple and became somewhat strangled
thereby. Hearing him cough the
mother turned about, saw baby as II
in the act of choking and also discov-
cred that the buttons had disappeared.
With a loud scream for help she
snatched the infant up and began
pounding the little one in the back.
Neighbors, hearing the screams, soon
came in, hubby was sent for and
shortly arrived with doctor and all
set to work to save the poor child, ev-
eryone, the doctor included, believing
the buttons had lodged in it's throat.
1t was given various emetics and roll
ed on it's stomach, ETC., to cause the
buttons to remove themselves and ev-
eryone had about decided that the
child must die when suddenly one of
the party accidently kicked the rug
over and discovered the buttons.
The doctor went without bidding any
one good bye, the neighbors present
giggled, poor hubby went straight
back to the office and WHEY tucked ba-
by gently to her bosom and called him
mammals little ducky ducky." The
physician never told the story him
self.
