rapidly that 1t would seem to be ample as
basis for paper circulation with which
to transact the business of the country.
We can. of course, use many millions OF
silver dollars as fractional currency and
subsidiary coin If made redeemable in gold.
If we do not need a great volume of silver
TO carry on our exchanges, why should we
continue TO send commissions to monkey
with European governments about bimet-
allism? If those governments want silver
restored TO it's former place as a measure
of values let them make it known to us,
instead OF us constantly sending agents
abroad to induce them to adopt the views
OF our silver mine owners.

When VIII the LitigaTIOn End?
Just at the time when it seemed that the
Ohio Southern was to be placed on it's feet
financially and the property taken out of
the hands OF the court, the situation has
been further complicated by certain parties
said to represent general mortgage inter-
ests taking steps to stop the foreclosure
proceedings of the frst-mortgage bondhold-
ers In commenting on the condition of
this property, the United States Investor
says: isn't this disgraceful showing,
deficit of 1902, 62s for the year ending June
80. 1897, on Ohio Southern? Since that
date earnings have still continued to de-
cline until September arrived, showing an
increase in gross of 1884. What Is going
to become of this property? The first
mortgage bondholders claim that the gen.
eral mortgage bondholders are unneces-
Sarily ObStructing a. foreclosure and sale of
the road and the general mortgage bond
holders claim that the first-mortgage bond
holders are unreasonable and unwilling to
meet them on what they claim is a basis of
fairness. A member of the first-mortgage
bondholders' committee tells me that the
general-mortgage bondholders have, within
the past few days, submitted another plan
for their consideration, but that 1t has been
rejected, being no more satisfactory than
former proposals. The general-mortgage
bondholders claim that their offer amount
ed to as good as a cash offer Of par and
interest for the firSt-mOrtgage bonds, but
the holders of the firsts don't see 1t in that
light The longer foreclosure is delayed
the worse 1t certainly is for all concerned,
and especially the general-fnortgage inter-
ests. Already $4,000 of receivers certifi-
Gates have been issued ahead of the first
nortgage and $4,000 junior to it, the last
and very recent iSue being to meet the final
payment of $4,000 due on car trust obi
cations.

THE PULSE OF BUSINESS
INSPECTION TOURS A GOOD METHOD
OF OBTAINING INFORMATION.
Future of the Ohio southern-The p,
ID. & e. Reorganization plan Ap-
proved by All Parties.

One of the best methods of feeling the
pulse of the business of the country is
through the inspection trips of railway Off
Gals and capitalists interested in railways.
Recently the views of President ingalls,,
of the Big Four: Ripley, of the Santa Fe
lines; Cable, of the Chicago & Rock Island,
and Hill, of the Great Northern on the
business situation have been published,
and without exception have shown that the
reads were prosperous and that the outlook
for business generally was very promising;
but the views of neither of the persons
named carry more weight than those of
the Pennsylvania inspection party, as their
lines strike the very heart of many of the
largest business centers. That corporation
operates 1852 miles of road, reaching into
fifteen States. and having close connections
with roads running to every part of the
Union. The trip of President Thomson
over that magnificent system brought him
into close relations with the leading bust
ness men in the principal towns and cities
Of those numerous States. That, in con-
Dection with the inspection of the condition
of the road and its business at the i'm
portant points, enabled Mr. Thomson to get
the best possible idea of the condition of
business and the outlook for the future 1t
is gratifying under these circumstances,
to have his testimony to the fact that pros
perity has come to stay. keen and ex-
perienced observer as Mr.. Thomson is, with
such unique opportunities for feeling the
public pulse, make his testimony Of unusual
weight.
But deeds speak louder than words
Convinced that the outlook is a bright one
he will proceed to push energetically the
great improvements projected some time
ago in the way of eliminating curves and
grade crossings. building more double
track. new bridges, new cars and engines
and so on. Few roads would undertake
improvements in the way of removing
grade crossings etc. unless compelled to
do so. But that is not the policy of the
Pennsylvania lne which is of the most en-
lightened character. The people appreciate
that fact, as is shown by the returns of
nearly COO passengers carried in one
year by the roads operated by the COM
pany. Pennsylvania can we'll be proud of
this model corporation.

SWALLOWED A SPONGE.
Process of Laundering a ChicagOan's
Stomach Seen by Y Rays.

From the Chicago Tribune.
With a little machine. which looks like
an gg-beater, DIR. Benton B. Turck has
performed the feat Of laundering the in
side of mans stomach at the Post-grad-
rate Medical School and by means of the
Roentgen ray he at the same time viewed
the internal apartment where his little de-
Vice was at work. The operation marks an
era of progress in the medical world. as
the experiment was the first of its kind
made in full view Of the operator
One of the largest and most complete
Roentgen ray outfits ever produced was
furnished to the college for the experiment
Attached to the end of Dr. Trucks in
strument, which is called a gyromele. or re-
volving sound, was flexible cable of spiral
steel wire on the end of which was a small
sponge. The cable was incosed In a rub

was stripped to the waist, then stepped
before the Roentgen light, the doctor put
the horoscope to his eyes, and an attend
ant turned the handle of the gyromele
The cable revolved as fast or as slow as
was desired. the sponge at the farther end
proceeded with its work of cleaning the
inner walls of the stomach. while the doc
tor viewed the work by locating the me-
taIlic cable by means of X rays.
By pushing or pulling In the cable the
various portions OF the inner walls Of the
stomach We're operated upon. and the mat
ter which was gathered in the sponge was
then removed for microscopic examination
No nausea or other discomfort was felt by
the patient, though he stood before the
rays for over an hour while the doctors in
attendance, the nurses. the operator of
the X-ray outfit and newspaper man ex-
amined his interior.
The Roentgen ray outfit used in the oper-
alton is capable of throwing a 14-inch
spark of great density and Illuminating a
very large Crookes tube By its means it
was not only possible to see the ribs and
backbone of the patient, but to view the
vibrations Of the heart and to outline the
liver and kidneys DR.. Turck Is enthusi-
astic over the success Of the experiment
