within 3 generation the lower half OF
North America from being . Spanish
country became part Of the United
States. u California was added to- the
United States In 1s4S, after the Next
can struggle. 1t embraced the I'm
mense tract that is now divided up into
six States, and In 1S49 1t became the
Territory of California. A few men,
now known as ."the forty-niners," went
there and came back with such as
founding reports of the richness OF its
fruit, the fineness Of Its wood and the
variety Of its ore that others started
out. There were fairy tales told Of its
glittering sand, In 1850 It became a
State and soon proved to be the purse
of the United States, holding money
that could be traded OF with foreign
countries for that which the United
States needed.
Neither Spain nor Mexico would have
parted with California, including Ore

The old Spanish residents tried to keep
the secret, and from that fact comes
the romantic Spanish stories of the

Cost of Trolley Power.

A table taken from the annual re-
ports of the railroad commissioners Of
New York and Massachusetts for near
ly all of the street railway properties
shows the cost of the electric power re-
quired to run a car one mile, under av-
erage conditions of load, etc. The table
gives the number of ears owned, the
car mileage per year and the cost of the
electric power per mile and per passen-
ger. OF the nineteen companies OPP
Grating less than 100000 car miles four
are obtaining power at cost Of less
than cents per car, six between 2 and
8 cents, five between and 4 cents, one
between 4 and 8 cents, and three at
more than5 cents: of the five companies
operating over 100000 car miles per
year one obtains the power for less
than cent per car mile, three between
1 and cents, and one between and 3
cents; other similar figures are also Civ
en- between these limits. The Brooklyn
Heights Company has the cheapest
power, 0.S6 per car mile, followed by
the Binghamton with 0.94; the cost OF
power for Massachusetts roads in
cludes repairs and depreciation of the
station plant, which is not the case OF
the New York roads.--Street Railway

A Magnetic Drill.

The use Of magnets for lifting pur-
poses and as substitute for clamps is
rapidly extending, and to see the ease
and facility with which a five-ton cast
ing can be picked up and carried
around the shop Is very striking. With
the old process holes have to be bored
in masses Of metal in all sorts of odd
and inconvenient places and at angles
so that very often it Is necessary to rig
clamps for holding the drilling machine
to its work. The application of the
portable electric motor for this purpose
was a long step In advance, and this
method has been of great service I'm
dealing with the armor of the new
cruisers. When portable drill, how
ever, is coupled with magnetic clamp
ing device the ideal conditions are real
lied. DR.. Louis Bell recently described
a drill Of this pattern. 1t consists of q
motor and it's worm-driven drill. to-
gether with n universal mounting of
four adjustable feet. When placed fair
ly upon ships plate or other mass of
iron these drills have an adhesive force
Of nearly half ton each. The drill
can then be adjusted and clamped by
the simple turning of key, and it will
then bore holes up to an inch In diam
eter as fast as it can be safely worked.
The whole affair weighs only about 200
pounds. These portable drills in small
sizes, particularly when the clamping
is magnetic, are invaluable in general
machine shop practice. and in modem
building work.-Engineering Magazine

SHOWING APoPLEXY.

Of the day. A physician who has made
several valuable discoveries concern
ing the effect Of consumption on the
blood, said to World reporter:
1T Is now possible for medical
science to foretell the approach Of the
most dreaded diseases many months or
even years before the ordinary symp-
toms appear. This new science, it
seems to me, will in time revolutionize
the ordinary forms Of medical treat
ment Of the day. 1t has been found
recently that the blood not only Of man
but Of most animals gives unmistaka-
BILE signs Of the approach of disease.
Important discoveries in this new
science have been made recently in
France and Germany. l believe that
1 may claim the credit of first discov-
ering the first germs of the dreaded
consumption.
1T Is Only necessary to see drop or
two Of mans blood under the micro
scope in order to foretell disease with
scientific accuracy. The earliest
symptoms of apopiexy. paralysis, heart
disease and consumption may be rec
ognized very readily. 1t will, of course,
be readily understood that it IS very

Thos. Il. TurIey Who Succeeds the
Late Isham G. Harris.
Thomas B. Turley, appointed United
States Senator from Tennessee in place
Of the late Isham G.. Harris, is a we'll
known lawyer of Memphis. He has
never held office of any kind. He is a
member Of the law firm of Turley &
Wright. In 1870 he was married to
Miss Irene Rayner, the daughter OF the
late Eli Rayner Of Shelby County. Mr..
Turley is 81 years old. He was not yet
out Of school when the war came, but
he promptly enlisted in the Maynard
Rifles, Company /, One Hundred and
Fifty-fourth Tennessee regiment of the
Confederate army. He fought at Shi-
lob, and was wounded there, and he
was also wounded at Peach Tree
Creek, before Atlanta. He was cap
tured in the battle Of Nashville and
taken to Camp Chase in Ohio and held
there until March, 1866, when he was
exchanged and returned to the South.
At the close Of the war Mr.. Turley en-
tered the University of Virginia and

be entangled in mass Of web. These
are likely to clog the muscular veins,
or those of the heart. If the heart
veins get clogged up paralysis follows.
while If the veins of the brain are OBJ
structed paralysis Of the limbs is to be
expected.
Rheumatism Of the heart is due to
the presence Of dirt or other extraneous
matter in the blood. This often results
in the rupture Of the blood vessels.
When this extraneous matter accumu-
lates to a certain extent it produces a
CONFUSION Of pain in passing the heart,
and tends to stop the action of that
vigorous organ. Blood Of this kind
may readily be diagnosed when seen
under the microscope. The blood Of
the human system can readily be clean
ed by electricity and other agents, and
be freed of all foreign matter. The
time may not be far distant when peo-
pie will have their blood regularly ex-
amined and cleaned"

" he was ambassador in Rome; ana
from that position, and only 4S years
old, he Is called upon to fill the highest
place in the Prussian diplomatic SER
vice. His political convictions are I'M
known, though 1t Is claimed by those
who know the man well that he Is too
much Of cosmopolitan character to
affiliate with the reactionary feudalists
who now compose the Kitchen cabi-
net" Of the German emperor. On the
other hand, no liberal policy can be ex-
pected from him, because his training
as well as his family traditions natur-
ally places him in the conservative
ranks. AS such he is likely to stand for
a strongly developed protective tariff,
as well as against bimetallism, repre-
senting in both respects the personal
policy of the emperor. He has had very
little opportunity to pose as public
speaker. What he has done in former
years In the Prussian diet and in the
German reichstag was to read from
manuscript his carefully prepared
speeches, which are described as mar
wells of elegant diction and clear cut

An Italian Solomon.

The Duke of Ossone, while yicerOy
Of Naples, delivered many quaint and
clever judgments. The case is relat-
ed where young Spanish exquisite
named Bertrand Solus, while lounging
around in the busy part of the city, was
run against by porter carrying a bun
die of wood on his shoulder.
The porter had called out, "AISke
way, please" several times. but with
out effect He had then tried to get by
without collision, but his bundle caught
in the young mans velvet dress and
tore it. Solus was highly indignant,
and had the porter arrested. The vice
roy, who had privately investigated the
matter, told the porter to pretend he
was dumb, and at the trial to reply by
signs to any question that might be
put to him.
When the case came on and Solus
had made his complaint, the vl,eroy
turned to the porter and asked him
what he had to say in reply. The por-
ter only shook his head and made signs
with his hands.
what judgment do you want me to
give against dumb manT asked the
viceroy.
"Oh, your excellency," replied Solus,
falling into the trap, 'the man Is an inn
poster. assure you lie is not dumb
Before he ran into me distinctly heard
him cry out, Make way"
Then" said the viceroy, sterniy, IF
you heard him ask you to make way FOR
him, why did you not? The fault of the
accident was entirely with yourself

Mad Cats Worse than Mad Dogs.

Mad Cats Worse than Mad Dogs.
According to the returns just publish
ed by the Pasteur institute at Paris,
fully 10 per cent Of the patients treated
there owe their injuries to the bites Of
cats afflicted with hydrophobia. These
wounds are considered by the medical
officers In attendance to present a
greater degree of danger than the bites
Of mad dogs, not because there is any
difference In the virus, but because, in
the first place, the teeth of cats, being
more pointed than those of dogs, infiict
a deeper wound, and also because q
mad dog usually fastens his fangs into
the arm, the hand or the leg, while n
cat invariably jumps for the face of
the person 1t attacks. The nerve cen
ters are far more exposed in the face
than In either the arms or legs, and
hence the virus enters into the circu-
lation more rapidly by means of bite
In the face than through one elsewhere
In the body. 1t may be added that the
returns Of the Pasteur institute for the
last year show that per cent of the
patients who have submitted them
selves to treatment have been bitten by
mad cows.

CHAMPION FLoArea CATCHER.


That Distinctiou.
After twenty-five years of hard work
along the levees of South st. Louis,
Uncle ed Jackson, the undisputed
champion ''fioater" catcher of the Up
per Mississippi, has retired from active
operations, says the st. Louis Post-D Dis
patch. Uncle Eb is S3 years old and
has snatched from the arms of the
mighty Father of Waters q body for
every pickaninny that plays around his
door on Krauss street.
The contrary current breaks sharply
of from the main flow about two and
half blocks below the old uncle's
home, and sweeps back to Krauss
street with considerable force. The
bodies Of those tired souls who seek
rest In the Mississippi's bosom are
whirled into the pool in such numbers
as to earn 1t the title of dead Mans
Eddy" A floating body must be very
near the Illinois shore to escape this
eddying current, and once Is comes In
contact with 1t coroner's jury finds
occupation. Nothing that floats has
been known to get away after once en-
tering the eddy. Here 1t is 90 per cent.
of the waters victims are found, and
here 1t Is for quarter Of century the
old darby has piled his gruesome voca-
ton they call ''reachin'."
For many years Uncle Eb had clear
field and many a "hoedown" was given
In the one-story shanty on the river
bank when business was good and
profitable. OF late years the profits
from "reachin'" have fallen off large
ly by reason.of competition. 1t was this
competition, however, that brought the
old man the title champion reacher."
With his SD birthday last spring came
rheumatism and sore eyes, but still he
stuck to his post until his rivals with
their sharper visions clearly outclassed
him. Then he pulled his old boat high
on the shore and confded to his niece
he was done.
"Yessir, l amt goin' to reach no

much easier to treat any disease If it
be discovered in its earliest stages.
Consumption can now be detected
from the appearance of the blood a
year or more before any cough sets in.
At this early stage the blood will be
found to contain a number of small
gray granules which float around in
the liquor of the blood. These often
collect in round patches and in time
develop into red cells and pervade the
lung tissues, forming tubercles. The
familiar tuberculi baccilli of consump-
ton in turn feeds upon these cells.
Il have found that when long line
or rift appears sharply dividing the
blood corpuscles the patient Is suffer
Ing from the incipient stages of apop-
lexy. If this line be long and sharply
defined fatal stroke Of paralysis may

BLOOD FoReTELLs DISEASE.
Early Symptoms May Be Easii:
Recognized Under the Microscope.

Early Symptoms May Be Easily
Recognized Under the Microscope.
The doctors Of the future will proba-
bly, be the preventers rather than the
healers of disease, says the New YORK
World. The early symptoms of disease
can now be observed SO long before
the actual sickness sets in that the mall
ady may be averted with almost abso-
lutte certainty. The approach of almost
all the most dreaded diseases, 1t has
been found, can readily be detected by
observing the condition Of the blood.
1t Is believed that If men would have
their blood examined by blood special
lists as often as their dentists examine
their teeth the prevalence of disease
of all kinds would be very greatly re-
duced. At present there are very few
blood experts practicing in the United
States, but the friends Of the new
science claim that this novel treat
ment will In time take the place Of the
common forms Of medical treatment
