But the camel differs strkingly from the
llama in that II possesses the hump, that
fatty mass, with n special development of
some of the spinal processes For long
time l could not explain this hump. One
day, however, a poor porter having u
complaint IN his chest camo to consult me,
aud ON examination l found, half way
down his back, precisely where he was
wont to rest his burdens tumor lnrper
than mnn's fist, formed almost wholly of
adiposc tissue Ii suddenly occurred TO
me that this lump-which not only caused
the porter no inconvenience, but even aid
cd him in his work-might perhaps serve
as clew to my mystery of the camel s
hump. / succeeded In examining
40 porters OF various occupations, and. to
my great joy, was able to find four more
examples of this fatty tdmor.
What was of even greater value in our
inquiry was the fact that 30 per cent of the
portcrs examined although having no real
hump, yet presented an unusal protubcr-
anco of the spinal processes. Professor

PULLEY BLOCKS.
Lots of Them Used on Land Nowadays rs
Well as on the Ocean.

Pulley blocks were formerly made with
ropc strap placed around the block on
the outside. Now, in wooden blocks, tho
strap is made of iron, and is placed inside
the shell. Many very large blocks and
great numbers Of very small ones are now
made entirely Of iron. There arc fewer
deep water ships than there We're, their
place having been taken largely by steam
vessels and therefore fewer blocks are re-
quired to supply the demand, but great
numbers are required for the coasting
fleets and yachts. Within comparatively
recent years the use of pulley blocks on
land has increased enormously, so that the
aggregate consumption of blocks continues
very large.
Wooden blocks are made most common.
ly with an ash shell and lignum vitm
sheaves; in smaller and medium sized
blocks the shell also is sometimes made OF
lignum Vita. The use of wire rope in
derricks is familiar. Wire halyards are
now used to some extent on yachts, as well
as wiro standing rigging, and where such
halyards are used metal sheaycs are sub
stituted for those OF wood. The blocks OF
big, heavily spared steam yacht, say
barkcntine rugged, might cost 81, 800. On
the great number of sailboats and small
yachts there are used many little blocks OF
galvanized iron.
On shore there mr., now used in cities
immense numbers of little blocks for pull
Icy lines for drying clothes Such blocks
IRE made of iron and of wood in various
styles, In a city like New York hundreds
of thousands of such blocks arc in use.
The demand for the very largest of blocks
for land use has also grown within very
recent years, such blocks being now used
very extensively ON the heavy derricks
employed in the construction of the tall
modern buildings, Big blocks used on
derricks with MANILA rope arc made with
wooden shells and iron shcavcs. Blocks
used with wire rope are all iron. The use
of iron blocks is increasing. The great
wooden blocks arc made up to 16 inches in
length. Iron blocks arc made up to II
inches and sometimes to order still larger

CHINESE DOCTORS.
The Medicines That Are Used by the Co
lestial Medicine Men.

The ways of the Chinese medical man
are certainly, like those Of the heather
Chinee, peculiar. Chinese medicine is
chiefly based ON plants, and is taught in
books which are often very ancient. In
his practice the doctor strictly follows tho
methods Of the master by whom he has
been taught. He is above all things con
sentative, With very grave face, his
eyes protected by large spcctanles of thick
glass the physician feels the pulse of tho
patient and never fails to make him show
his tongue. Next he examines his eyes
and asks series of questions, the answers
to which will help him out in his dag.
nosis. Then he writes his prescription on
q piece of rice paper and hands IL to his
pupil, who proceeds to compound it, 1t
should DO observed that Chinese doctors
both prescribe and sell their remedies.
Generally the prescription is made from
the directions in some book, which are
simply referred to by name or number.
The pupil goes to the book for directions
The seeds, herbs, leaves and stems, the
essences of which are tosbe combined TO
form the remedy, are generally weighed
out or measured and given to the patients
with directions to boil them at home with
prescribed quantity of drinking water to
n measure which is exactly indicated.
Put all these plants into an earthcnware
pot with large glass of water and boil
them over bright fire down to a tcacup-
full. Then strain carefully and drink
hot The remedies are all taken in bed,
and rest or sleep, II possible, is recon-
mended The potions as administered
have very powerful effects.
Chinese doctors have various devices to
make their products attractive. They have
luxurious shops and modify with liquorice
and other substances their Wiley tasting
pills, These pills are incloscd in capsules
of wax as large IA pigeons eggs, which
preserve the compound from compact with
the air, and arc broken when the remedy
is taken. Ono of their remedies is the
au-nhu-y, medicinal oil which pro-
duces excellent effects in headache and
generally in cases Of brain WEAKNESS of
every kind. 1t is rubbed on the temples
and is inhaled by strong breathing ats
having been rubbed upon the nostrils

Heroism Of the Police.

Hon. Theodore Roosevelt writes an arti-
Gle on "The Roll Of Honor cf the New
York Police" for The Century. MIR.
Roosevelt says:
doubt If the average citizen, especially
the average stay at home citizen, realizes
how often the man of the night stick is
called upon to display qualities which In
soldier would be called heroic. His feats
in saving life or in arresting dangerous
criminals, alone and at night, attract no
special attention when mentioned in the
newspapers, but tLey often imply Just as
much courage as those Of the man who
captures an enemy s flag in battle or plants
his own flag on hostile pnrapet. The
men of the New York police force repre-
sent all the different creeds and different
