BOUND AND THROWN ON A FIRE.
Man Rescued from a Perilous Posi-
ton In Pennsylvania.

Tuesday night, as Philadelphia and
Erie Railroad train was passing out from

rified to see the body of a man lying on
pile of burning ties near the railroad track.
The train was stopped and a brakeman
succeeded in pulling the man from his
awful position. His clothing was in flames
and almost the entire body was badly
burned. The man is reticent concerning
the affair, but says that n number
of men with whom he was tramping
bound him hand and foot and threw him
upon the fire TO get rid of him. The in
jured man will not divulge the names of
his enemies

A Jerseyman's Experience and Lieut.. De
Long's Story from the Arctic Region.
In this climate it il not common to
find sunburn sufferers while the ther-0
nometer Is away down near the freez-'
ing point, but there is an interesting
portion Of Lieut.. Commander De Longs
story of the voyage Of the jeanette,
which shows how plausible this. expla-,
nation is. After the Jeanette was
crushed in the Arctic ice and aban-
doncd in 1881, and De Long and his,
companions took to the ice in June Of
that year, they found themselves suf-
fcring day and night from heat, al
though the temperature OF the air YpS
never above freezing. With the therf
mometer at 60 10 25 degrees, the men
worked in their shirt sleeves and were
covered with perspiration. On June 20
De Long wrote in his diary:
"Blistering hot since midnight, al
though the thermometer marked only
33 degrees in the sun. Our hands
and faces are all swollen and blistered."
On the next day, with the tRermome-
ter at 30 degrees, he tells how curious II
seemed to see the men seeking places in
the slrade in which TO enjoy an after
dinner smoke and rest, and so day aft
er day his references to the unpleos-
ant heat continue. The party even
found It oppressive In their tents at
night, although the tents were pitched
on the ice, and the thermometer showed
chilling enough figures.

Iactated food 50 closely approaches
healthy mothers milk that the weaning
period occasions no disturbance or diff
Guilty whatever. This splendid nutri-
ment rapidly furnishes everything
needed by the rapidly growing bones
and tissues. Lactated food babies, in
the words of nurses and physicians, get
Through the trials of teething much
easier and more rapidly than others.
The reason is plain to every mother
who stops to consider the skill employ
ed in the preparation of lactatod food
using pure milk sugar as a basis be-
cause 1t is the basis of vigorous moth
er's milk: there is combined with it the
richest gluten flour of wheat and oats,
which, by long subjection to high
steam heat, under pressure and con-
stant motion, has been perfectly cook
ed and made ready to be easily acted
upon by the important addition OF the
pure malt, extracted from the finest
barley.
Such food, thus already partly di-
gested. makes little demand upon che
energy OF the digestive organs. The lit
lse ones strength is thus easily main
tained when hot weather, illness or a
natural feebleness OF the body leaves
little energy for assimilating the food
or combating disease.
Thousands of young lives are every
year saved by lactated food. Cholera
infantum and fatal diarrhoea do not
secure a hold on such well nourished
children. 1t does not require the search
ing eye of a physician to see what is at
fault with pale, dropping, sad-eyed
babies 1t Is a richer. sturdier diet that
the little sufferers need. No baby that
does not gain week by week, in size
and weight, that does not laugh and
play till sleep overtakes it, is in perfect
health. A we'll baby is always a fat
baby. It's chubby legs and body are
the storehouse for growth by day and
by night. Watch the expression on the
baby's face. If it is pinched and drawn
about the nose and mouth be sure there
is defective feeding Of the tiny nervou:
system. Try lactated food for a week
or two. and see the change in the ex'
preston of the child's face.
When young children refuse all othel
food thew take kindly to lactated food
One Of the greatest triumphs in 1h'
preparation of this remarkable infan
i food is inmaking itagreeahlet to bahy''
taste and stomach. Babies eat lactatet
food, and grow fat and rugged upon II

The Kind That Were In Use a Hundred
Years Ago.

Years Ago.
The horse boats between the cities Of
New York and Brooklyn may be cited
as early attempts 10 solve the problem
Of transport by water. An interesting
feature of these early constructions was
the use Of a water wheel 10 feet or so in
diameter, with "a floats, the latter in
clined slightly to the radius so ~ TO
avoid the lifting Of the water, which is
SD troublesome a feature Of the radial
float. These horse boats appear to have
been Of three general designs. In the
first a frame, shaped somewhat like the
letter "a" OF an inverted ~, was
mounted TO turn around it5 vertical
axis Four Of these frames, dividing the
circle into eight parts, made sort of
skeleton cone, and this cone was caused
70 revolye by eight horses moving in
horizontal circular path about 30 feet
IN diameter The face gear, 10 feet In
diameter, drove three foot pinion
mounted upon the axis on the water
wheel shaft and the wheels were within
the franc in an opening between half
hulls.
The second plan was Of a conical
skeleton frame at an inoline Of about
one in two, so that the horses had TO
travel up this inclined surface, causing
it to rotate with their weight and trao-
ton.
In the third plan--a smaller design
the paddle wheels were brought into a
wen between the two half hulls Of the
Loaf, oatanaran fashion, as in the first
arrangement, and the frame was mount
ed above the wheels, and its rotating
motion was transmitted by intermediate
idlo wheels to the water wheel shaft
Bohts cf the first and second class seem
to have been about 20 feet long.
II Is interesting also 20 observe that
The swinging bridge for ferryboat serv-
ice bad been already thought out by
Fulton carly in this century, with its

Reys the San Francisco Examiner.
The physician is now almost con-
vinced that there was q clash between
the two ferments in the blood, and
that the virus of the vaccine vanquished

In discussing the matter DR.. Woolsey
said;
''rhe thought suggested by the re-
cent cases of mine is the antagonism of
one disease for another, like erysipelas
to cancer, which is an entirely new
idea as applied TO diphtheria. Wheth-

BABIES IN SUMMER.
Their Whole Duty is to Keep
Well and Grow.
SOUND SLEEP AND RAPID GROWTH
DEPEND ON PROPER DIET.
Ideal Infant Food in This Awful
Season is Lactated Food.

A baby does its whole duty II it eats
well, sleeps well and grows rapidly. No
one expects more of it than this
These are great expectations, and are
not always met, specially during such
hot weather as now may be expected.
Babies do not invariably thrive, even
on mothers milk, because this infant
diet, unsurpassed when 1t is sufficiently
rich and abundant, often becomes def
cient both in quality and nourishing
power. Hot weather very commonly in
terferes with nursing.
These are the times when lactated
food stands pre-eminent in the minds
OF physicians and experienced parents
above any other means Of feeding Che
child. When the time for weaning
comes a safe and adequate substitute
for babys first diet must be secured.

SUPPRESS THE SCoRCHER.
DIR. Willis III. Vittum Seriously In
jured by Reckless Rider.

DR.. Willis II. Vittum was seriously in
jured in bicycle accident on St. Peter
street, near Sixth street shortly after IL
o'clock yesterday morning. DR.. Vittum was
the victim of a "scorcher," who, without wait
ing to ascertain the result of the accident,
mounted his wheel and rode rapidly away,
not escaping, however, until fairly good
description of him had been secured. The
police are now searching for the reckless
rider.
The force of the collision threw DR.. Vittum
to the asphalt pavement, where striking fun
upon his head, he was rendered unconscious.
With blood flowing from two deep cuts on the
top Of his head, DR.. Vittum was carried by
witnesses of the accident into the bicycle store
of E. NJ. Hallowell & Co., 3S2 st. Peter street,
where he was attended by Dr. Robert Whea-
ton. Subsequently the unconscious man was
removed to the physicians office and was
only in condition to be taken home after
several hours work by different physicians.
Last night DR.. Vttum was still in a semi
unconscious condition and suffering great
pain. In addition to the scalp wounds, DR..
Vittum was badly bruised about the body,
and while the full nature Of his injuries can
not yet be ascertained, he is known to be
suffering from a serious, if not dangerous,
conclusion of the brain.
When Dr. Vittum was run down by the
scorcher" he was on his way home to din
ner. He was riding slowly along, near the
corner OF Sixth street when lowly bent
figure on a bicycle whirled around the cor
ner and dashed full into his handle bars.
Witnesses of the accident say that DR.. Vittum
did not see the racer and that even If he
/, rapid rate, and especially around the curve,
that collision would have been inevitable.
Both riders were thrown from their wheels,
but the scorcher seemed uninjured. Neither
wheel suffered much from the accident and
the unknown, seeing DR.. Vittums uncon-
sclous form lying on the pavement, hurriedly
jumped upon his machine and disappeared
toward Third street. Those who witnessed
the accident were loud in their condemnation
Of the recklessness Of the person who caused
it.
Though early in the season, a number of
accidents have already occurred from the
reckless riding of ''scorchers;' and their
fool-hardiness in endangering the lives of
other wheelmen and pedestrians has aroused
the police department to the necessity Of
stopping their amusement. A prominent DO
lice official stated last night that the only way.
to put a stop to the work of these fiends
was to arrest any one violating the bicycle
ordinance prescribing the proper speed in the
public Streets and that the ACCESSIBILITY of
mounting several officers on bicycles to patrol
the busiest thoroughfares was under consider
or
