X-Rays and the Heart.

Professor Benedict, of Vienna,
states that the most important result
of the employment of the X-rays in
internal diseases has been the ascer.
tanning Of the strength and extent Of
the hearts movement under healthy
and unhealthy conditions. They have
shown that the work performed by q
sound heart has been greatly overesti.
mated, and thus the vibrations of q
diseased heart have been rendered
easier Of understanding. Doctors arc
now in position to learn the size and
position of the vital organ in cases
where the former methods of ausculta.
ton and percussion would afford them
no help. By the X-rays it is possible
to observe deterioration Of the valves
at a much earlier stage than formerly,
and to gain exactinformation as to the
relations between the heart and the
diaphragm, as we'll as to observe the
movements of the membrane. In the
early diagnosis, especially of disease
OF the lungs, stomach and kidneys, the
rays are now Of the greatest service to
practitioners, and it will in future be
possible to gain knowledge of such
diseases at stage which they have
previously entirely escaped detection.

The Anti.Break1ast Cra,a,1e.-

It is not safe to say positively that
il is best for everyone to go without q
breakfast, eating enough at the other
meals to make up any deficiency
caused by it, but many of those who
have experimental on this line have
found that for them it has proved q
blessing. The corpulent, the dyspep.
tic, the over-eater, and sedentary per.
sons are almost always benefited, and
the breakfast diet has more adher-
ents than many suspect. The theory
on which these two-meals-a-day folk
base their conduct is that, no work be-.
ing done after the late and hearty din
ner, and little tissue waste following
during the hours Of sleep, the body
has sufficient energy stored from the
evening meals to meet the demands OF
the next iorenoon's work. To take a
hearty breakfast, they claim, is simply
to provide surplus of supply, and by
just that much overtaxing the system.
The elimination, therefore, of one.
third Of meals year means conserv.
ing of energy, which, in the aggregate,
can be used for other purposes. They
say that after the first week or two il
requires no effort to begin the day
without food, and even the aromatic
Mocha, steaming through the house,
produces no effect upon their resolu,
tons. Many years ago there was a
similar practice advocated, but it was
to 60 without the third meal instead
Of the first one. Those who advocated
it also claimed to be much benefited.
There are still people who omit this
third meal, but the latter-day practice
of emitting the breakfast instead OF
the third meal is considered to have
hygienic advantages. Only expert.
ence can decide the matter. It would
be a great saving IN household labor,
and women who have so many little
cares would certainly be benefited.
Those who try it should not content
themselves with a few days trial;
nothing less than a month, or even
more should be thought of, and Ger.
tainly no harm could come from it.
One great benefit is in the splendid
appetite guaranteed and for brain
workers the clearness Of the brain dur.
ing the forenoon when no energy is
drawn off to digest the food.-Journal

Electric Heat Coming.

There are number of appliances
which utilize the electrical current for
domestic heating. The prime cause
OF delay in their popular use is the
cost of the current. This first cost is
being constantly lowered, and in the
near future electric heating will be-
more economical than any other sys-
TEN. In Maine-at Lewiston-the
current is to be generated at a nearby
waterfall, and the projectors agree to
furnish power at less than $36 per
horsepower by the year, and that
they can heat a ten-room house with
three horsepower the year round.
With the splendid power of the Chat
tahoochee at our doors we ought to
have equally cheap power for all pur.
poses, and the heating Of our houses
be much less than in the arctic regions

Reminded of the Debt.

Peterhof.

'Peterhof, where the Emperor and
Empress Of Russia are to receive the
German Emperor and Empress, and
also President Faure, has been the
favorite summer residence of the i'm.
perial court ever since the reign OF
Peter the Great. The vast palace,
built Of granite and marble, painted
in red and white, with gorgeous iron
roof and many gilded domes, stands
on cliff overlooking the Gulf of Fin
land. The rooms are sumptuously
decorated and furnished in the style
OF the last century, and the palace is
crammed.with'' pictures, tapestry, china,
malachite, bibeloterie, and curios Of
all kinds. including many historical
relics. The red room contains nearly
400 portraits of beautiful women in
all parts of Russia, this collection
having been made by Count Rotari
for Catherine II.
The gardens are the great feature

was originally taken from the ruins OIL
ancient Troy and brought to England
by Brutus, who with his own hand
laid it as the first block in the founda,
ton OF the city now known to the
world as London. More than thou.
sand years ago it was taken from its
original bed in the first wall and taken
up on Cannon street, where it was set
deep in the earth at place said to be
the highest spot Of ground in London.
According to Camden, it was not orig
inally set as stone in a wall, az
claimed by those who say that it was
brought from Troy by Brutus, as re-
lated above, but was stone specially
made and set in place as millarium,
or milestone, similar to that in the
forum at Rome, while London was
under Roman rule. Camden considers
it as being the stone which marked
the point from which all British high.
ways were to radiate from the capital.
and from which all distances were to
be measured.
After the great fire of 1866 Sir
Christopher Wren changed the city's
grade and the stone was taken up.
That which is now reserved by the
city as a relic of its very earliest days
is said to be but a mere fragment Of
the original stone. It is not more
than foot square at the present time,
and it is built into niche in the out
side Of the Church Of SIS. Swithin and
