he reported chloroforming of three

The reported chloroforming of three
adults and two children by burglars In
an English town, in order that the
house might be robbed, is looked upon
by medical journals with some incredu'
lily. 1t is said that the victims knew
nothing of the presence Of the robbers
until they awoke late the next day and
found that the house had been looted
This is the point which raises the
doubts Of the medical experts. They
hold that it would be next to impossible
for the robbers to have accomplished
this without disturbing the slumbers OF
their victims. Scientists have tried
with poor success to place sleeping pa.
tents under the influence Of chloroform
without disturbing them. Dolbear Is
said to have only succeeded in the ex.
pertinent with ten persons out Of total
of twenty-n whom he treated. This
was when trained scientist worked
with the greatest care. Physicians say
that 1t is rarely, except in the case OF
infants, that the chloroforming of sleep.

opportunity for the display of sterling

One effect of the great changes which
have taken place in modern warfare,
and especially the improvement in the
destructive power Of modern gunnery,
is the abandonment of the use of colors
in the armies Of Europe. Lord Wolseley
pointed out this the other day when he
presented set of the cclors of the cele-
brated regiment, the Sixty fourth foot,
to be placed upon the walls Of cathe-
dral. In the wars of the future the SOL
diers will have to draw their inspira-
ton from something else than the regi-
mental colors. This, too, will do away
with the brave and useful officer, the
color sergeant, for, as the English gen.
eral says, 1t would be madness and
crime to order man in a war nova
days to carry the colors into the battle.
Every color so displayed would be shot
away at the first fire and it's bearer
killed. The German army, while dis
carding the colors themselves, has still
retained the poles upon which the flags
once waved, but these have to be car
ried so as not to be seen by the enemy.
This, it would seem, could be Of little
service to their own soldiers. 1t takes
the actual sight of the national or regi-
mental colors to inspire the warrior.
Not to be able to see them will, for the
veterans, be almost like seeing defeat.

Some men in Chicago are working up-
on an umbrella" sail which they pro.
pose to experiment with upon small
sailing craft. This sail was tried at the
Cowes regatta and made a sensation
among the sailors Of yachts. Scientists
and navigators believe that with GER
tain notifications this sail will be made
to take the place Of the ordinary can
vas article manipulated by ropes. The
new sail resembles a Japanese umbrel-
L., and It's upper edge is secured near
the top Of the mast with blocks and
halyards and the main sheet is fasten-
ed at some distance from the bottom of
the sail. The shape may be changed at
will to suit the occasion by opening or
shutting 1t just as though it were an
umbrella 1t can be adapted to the
ease or violence of the wind with much
more facility than the ordinary sail.
Not only landlubbers but expert sailors
have long thought that there could be
improvements made In the present
manner Of handling sail ships. The old,
method |of: sails has always seemed
very clumsy and uncertain, and maybe
this umbrella arrangement will sim
pllfy and make much safer the hand
hngOf small boats. -

There is no great loss without some
gain. The depression of the past year
has been accompanied by a noteworthy
diminution Of immigration from the
Old World. The completed returns of
the arrival of immigrants in the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1897, show that
one hundred and eighty thousand, in
round numbers, landed in America.
This was smaller number than in any
previous year since 1879. The num-
Der was less by one hundred and sixty
two thousand than in the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1896, and nearly a hun
dred thousand less than in 1895, which
was reckoned year of small immigra-
ton. AS compared with the immigra-
ton for 1892, which was more than six
hundred and twenty-three thousand,
the figures for last year are indeed
small. They represent, however, a
large mass in the aggregate; and the
fact that among them there were about
thirty-eight thousand, not including
young children, who could neither read
nor write, shows that the immigration
was larger than it should have been by
at least that figure. Until such litter
ate immigrants are definitely excluded,
our immigration laws will certainly be
in defective state. The total amount
of money brought into the country by
immigrants, presumably to be expend-
ed here, is commonly spoken of as con-
tuting a new element Of wealth for the
country. The immigrants Of 1897
brought with them total amount a
trifie in excess of six hundred and sew.
enty thousand dollars. This is re-
spectacle sum, but as it amounts to
less than four dollars to each immi-
grant, it will be seen that the line
which separates them as a whole. from
restitution on their arrival is very mar
row. Moreover, it is highly probable
that more money was sent out of the
country, earned here, to bring these
immigrants, than they brought with
them, in which cases the balance of the
account is on the wrong side of our
ledger after all.

Bad digestion irritates the heart, causing

Poor digestion poisonS the kidneys, caUs
