A DRAMATIC INCIDEN !
a Lecturer Discovers His Danger
and Loses His Life.

1t is a scene in the lecture room of a
medical college in New Orleans The pro
lessor is lecturing before an intelligent
class of medical students. He is deserib-
ing the human body, its defects and the
danger by which it is surrounded. In or
der to illustrate it he has fluids from the
human body, which he is subjecting to
chemical tests.
Gentlemen" he said, It have described
to you the appearance of the human fluid
in a diseased state; viii now show you
how the same fluid appears in a healthy
state" and he subjected his own TO the
test. As he held it up to the light for a
moment, his hand trembled, he caught
his breath, he paled and exclaimed; Gen
tlemen, l have just made a most horrible
discovery; I myself have Bright's disease
of the kidneys"
In less than one year he was dead.
The above dramatic and strictly true in
cident shows the terrible danger and mys-
terious nature of this modern disease,
which may well be called the demon of
the present century. 1t steals into the sys-
tenn like a thief, manifests it's presence
by the commonest symptoms and fastens
itself upon the system before the victim
is aware. 1t is nearly as hereditary as

any attempt on the part of the British to
force an entrance, and calling a council Of
his officers, they agreed with him that the
ships would be exposed 10 a great danger
The gallant Capt. Dent and the other
ships hauled Off and returned to Rear Adj
miral Knowles explaining why they had
returned. The chief commander was flu
rious, and wrote complaint to the admir-
atty against Capt Dent and on the lat
ter's return to England he was court mar
tailed, but honorably acquitted. Rear Adj
miral Knowles later on found the Spanish
neet between Tortugas and Havana, and
gave battle, resulting in the Dons losing
several ships and the remainder being
forced 20 flee. Knowles failed to follow up
ms advantage, and he was subsequently
court martaled and censured. but in the
meantime the fleet was generally democrat
ized, charges and counter-charges were
made by the several captains and there

From the New York Commercial Adver-
t!seT.
Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. 15.-This city has
somewhat remarkable case of love and
knaVery. Ten regiments of volunteer troops
have for some months been quartered near
here In one of these regiments is a pri-
vate, who may be called William Morse.
He became very much enamored of one
of the society girls of the city, and, not
withstanding their differences of station.
aspfred to her hand Though employed as
a teacher in a graded school, she came of
a good family. Being an unusually attrac-
tive young woman she is recognized as one
of the bellies of place noted for ats pretty
girls.
1t was on a day when she, with others,
visited the camps that Morse fell desper-
ately in love with her He obtained an in
PRODUCTION ard asked IL he might be per-
mitted to call. He was young fellow of
prepossessing appearance so, after hnding
out what she could about him, she gave
him the desired permission. Morse at once
became her devoted slave; he sent her
flowers and In many ways paid her the
livelest attention. All went well at first
The young lady smiled upon him and
seemed to enjoy his society. But he soon
found, to his sorrow, that his salary as a
private in the volunteer army did not ac-
cord with his pretensions. He could not
pay his bills. So he decided that ne must
stay away from his charmer and retrench
his expenditures. Accordingly, for an en-
tire week he failed to see her; then came
the day of tragedy.
Meeting him upon the street one day, she
asked him sweetly whether he had been
I'll. He replied in the negative, and, turning
accompanied her home. Arrived there he
accepted her invitation TO come In. and she
gave him a seat in the parlor, while she
went upstairs to remove her wraps. II
was then that temptation came TO her
caller. She had received her salary that
up in her pocketbook This she had left
lying on the table, while she went up
stairs Morse took the money.
That same afternoon, after he had left
her, the young lady was pleased to receive
a choice hot house bouquet with a card
from Morse. The following morning
brought a fve-pound box of CONNECTIONS,
with a note accompanying It, asking for
the privilege of taking her for a drive.
Meanwhile she was racking her brain in
the effort 10 remember what she had done
with her pocketbook. She remembered hav-
ing brought II home, but In her haste, she
hads forgotten where she had placed II. A
few days later II came TO her In fash
that the money had been left on the table
in the parlor, and that Morse was In the
room at the time. She placed the matter
in the hands of the police. and they con-
fronted him with the charge of having
stolen the money. lie broke down and

In the capture of Santiago de Cuba
America has succeeded where Great Brit
ain failed on two occasions. The first at
tempt was made in 1912, and failed be-
cause of lack of harmony between Vice
Admiral Vernon and Gen. Wentworth,
commanding the joint naval and army
forces The expedition sailed from ia
maica July /, 1912, and consisted of eight
ships of the line, thirteen frigates and
about forty transports with 540O land
forces. The fleet anchored in Waltenham
harbor, sixty miles by land from Santiago
de Cuba, and Vice Admiral Vernon was
so sure of success that he changed the
name Of Waterman into that of Cum
berland, in compliment to his royal high
ness. the duke The Spanish fleet was at

San Francisco is slnkingl This Is the
startling statement OF the civil engineer
who conducts the work Of the city and
county surveyors Office at the city hall.
Sinking. slowly but steadily, each recur-
ring year bringing additional evidence that
a large portion Of the city would In a few
decades be below the water OF the bay
There Is no wild or irresponsible state
ment, but a cold fact demonstrated and
proved by the careful scientific obgerva-
tons of engineers In the service OF the
municipality men who have been estab-
fishing levels throughout San Francisco
for years, and have the data and records
of the city surveyors office as the basis
of their discovery. These engineers find
in surveying, or leyelng, I'm the unstable
districts that the official monuments in
dicaing the levels or nights above the
city base. have sunk with the land, and
so 1t Is necessary to begin on firm ground
and carry lines over those sunken marks,
and always with the same result--streets,
sidewalks, curbs, street railroads, build
ings all have gone downward together
The peculiar feature of the sinking phe-
nomenon is that the whole surface settles
equally, a fact which has not only averted
attention from the constant settlement,
but also been the source Of endless dis
putes between owners Of land in the lis
trict, who imagine the grade Is raised up
on them by city surveyors every few
years
An interesting field for mathematical ef-
fort is opened through the city surveyor 8
figures upon this subject. The average
sinking Of those districts which insist on
moving into neither regions is two inches
de- "a. 'feFla 10 q
less as the years pass, though the settling
does not stop and the ratio Of tine de-
crease Is so insignificant In comparison
with the time as 10 be barely worth con-
sldering. Two inches may, therefore, he
taken as the basis of calculation. In 100
years the water Of the bay would be ebb-
ing through the first stories of buildings,
and the second floors would be what sea-
men call awash. But as the inhabitants
of San Francisco viii keep on filing the
land there win be 10 likelihood OF such
strange happenings.
The cause OF this singular condition In
large area Of the city Is sscribed to the
nature OF the soil. which engineers de-
scribe as a mixture Of alluvium washed
down from the hilisides, ooZe from the bay
and decsyed vegetable matter, the forma-
ton OF ages upon the original bedrock.
Engineers say that IN places no bottom has
been reached with piles sixty TO eighty
feet long. and the heavy structures erected
thereon sustain the tremendous weight by
force of friction. or resistance, against the
sides Of tine piles. How deep Is the ooze
has not been ascertained Ia most places IN
the sinking area. Nor Is il positively
known whether the soft substratum moves
out into the bay under fi1e pressure or
merely packs frmer, and 50 become more
stable.
