CHAINED TO HIS BED.
Frightful Fate of Captain Dreyfus on
Devils Island.

Frightful Fate of Captain Dreyfus on
Devils Island.
The immediate results of the recent
campaign in France for reopening
of the trial of Captain Dreyfus. the
French officer sentenced to solitary
confinement for life for selling military
secrets to the Germans, have been an
aggravation in the situation of the
prisoner of Devils Island. A cable
dispatch has reported that he is now
chained to his bed as soon as night
falls upon the dreaded rock off the
Guiana coast. Moreover, the French
government, which has already dis
placed two chief wardens suspected OF
intentional carelessness, has increased
by six men the number of the prisoners
guardians, and transferred him to new
quarters, in order to make his escape
less easy than it might have been be.
fore.
Dreyfus was sentenced just three
years ago by court martial to life
imprisonment in penal colony. II
seems impossible to conceive, says
the Petit Parisien, how he could have
endured the physical and mental suff-
erings he has experienced. Day and
night he is watched by two guardians,
who are forbidden to exchange sim
gle word with him. He does not see
anybody else, with the exception of
infrequent visits of inspection made
by the governor, the director of the
penal establishments of Guiana, and
the general attorney of Cayenne, the
capital.
During the first months after his
landing on Devils Island Dreyfus &C.
cupied a miserable hut, completely
isolated, but near and in view of the
ocean. Afterward he was transferred
further inside the island, and put in
a small wooden building, divided into
two parts, one for himself and the
other for his guards. He had the use
of small Enclosure, where he could
take some exercise and enjoy the view
of the sea. But since the recent agi-
tation q wooden wall, two metres high
has been erected all around the small
space of ground which served for a
promenade.

Louis sprang joyfully out of the

them from the station to the Grange.

How changed from the grave, de-

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

The most easily digested meats are
cold mutton, mutton chops, venison,
sirloin, roast beef and chicken.
Green vegetables and good fruit
contain certain salts and acids which
may be called natures medicine.
A boon for vegetarians is peanut
butter, which surpasses the best dairy
butter in purity, and is found to be
especially well adapted for use in
gravies and for shortening. An ex-
tensive demand is expected.
Street lamps can be mounted on a

The aurora borealis, according to
the theory of Herr Gustav Wendt,
may be regarded as an electrical

other paramagnetic matter-or matter

Medical authorities appear to be
becoming convinced of the efficacy Of
alcohol, in the treatment Of cancer.
It is used in hypodermic injections,
and its strength has been gradually
increased from ten per cent. solution
until the pure alcohol is often used.
The injections are repeated after five
to seven days. The cancer cells are
destroyed, the growth gradually be-
coming smaller. and finally leaving q
hard mass that may be ignored or cut
out.
A floating scientific station was the
novel suggestion made to the inter-
national geological congress by Pro-
lessor Andrussow. It would consist
of ship fitted with apparatus and
laboratories for geological and biological
study of the ocean bottom, and would
be kept constantly exploring the diff
ferent parts of the world, the expense
to be met by international contribu-
tons. The scheme was warmly ap-
proved by DIR. John Murray and other
scientific leaders.
During the Zulu war DIR. George
Stoker observed that wounded natives
quickly recovered in mountainside
places to which they were carried.
This led him, on his return to Eng
land, to experiment with oxygen as q
dressing for wounds, the result being
the establishment of q home where
the oxygen treatment is carried out.
The application is made by enclosing
the injured limb in suitable case,
which is kept charged that the gas.

John De Saline bears the unique
distinction Of being mayor of the
smallest city in the world. He is the
chief executive of Fenton, a beauti-
full little hamlet on the picturesque
Meramec river fifteen miles to the
south and west of st. Louis.
There are less than one hundred
people in Fenton, yet it has been an
incorporated city for more than twenty
years. And during that time it has
grown considerably. When it was
first incorporated there were less than
forty-five inhabitants in the place.
1t is the only city of its size, in all
probability, in the world that is in
corporated and has mayor and q full
quota of city officials.
None of the city officials of this
unique little place are paid salaries.
Instead they receive certain fees for
the performance of their specific
duties. 1t has been long time since
any of them collected any money, and
even the city marshal, who constitutes
the entire police force of the city, has
not made cent out of his job for
something like three years. No ar
rests are made in Fenton, and it has
been so long since the squire had a
case that when the last magistrate
died some years ago it was not
thought worth while to elect his sue
cessor.
There is no politics in Fenton-at
least, not in SO far as municipal cleo
tons go. And, for that matter, there
have been no elections for decade.
There never has been a defalcation
in FentoD. Fred Wehmeyer was de-
tailed by the board of control to keep
the books of the corporation, and the
public funds raised by taxation were
expended by the mayor in person, by
and with tire consent of the board. -
