Its Value as . Preventive amG Cure
of Palinonary Diseases.
DR.. 3. Fletcher Ingals Of Chicago, in
paper with this title, said that che
absence OF Systematic study by physi-
clans and the very meager literature
compelled him to be somewhat dogmatic
in his paper. One of the most common
observations made by medical men, he
said, was that the long. narrow, fat
chested individual was the one liable to
the development of tuberculosis and
that in patients presenting this form of
chest the chances for recovery were rs-
duced TO mif:imum.
This observation he considered suffi-
cient TO suggest that Systematic physical
training in siding the development Of
the respiratory muscles, thoracic walls
and pulmonary capacity would be Of
great service in preventing tuberculosis
and in curing it's early stages. Collapsed
air cells, be said, furnished most IA
vorable indus for the development OF
tuberculosis. Therefore for the preven-
tion Of the disease measures should be
adopted to expand the lungs and bring
the air cells into the best possible work
ing condition. @
He thought it probable that in most
cases there was an early tuberculous
localized anemia, diminishing the nutri-
tion of the parts and making them more
susceptible to the tubercle bacilli and
their toxins. OF the large percentage Of
the human family said to be affected by
tuberculosis $50 per cent?, the majority
recovered, even when the disease affect
ed the lungs, il not proving fatal i'm
more than ~ per cent.
He stated that in most of those who
recovered the disease had made but lit
tie progress, and that it was only at
autopsy after death from other causes
that its presence was detected, in view
of which it was the physicianea duty to
recommend measures likely to strength
en- the resisting power Of the lungs.
The beneficial influence of high alti-
tude he considered probably due to the
increased distension of the air vessels,
and that as means Of prophylaxis the
first measure should be to teach the pa
tient to breathe deeply.
Careful physical training, he said,
was of the greatest Importance, it being
possible for the long, narrow, fiat chest
ed to increase the expansion of the chest
two or three inches, improve the form
and increase the circumference. He be-
lieved it possible by physical develop
ment to check the process Of tuberculosis
| when il had become established in tbs
chest and to promote recovery. y.-Med

90 Move the EnRfh.
Statisticians sometimes have queer
ideas. Dnc of them has amused hitnseIf
by calculating how much energy, water
and coal 10 would take to move the
earth foot. supposing that it was sub
jected throughout its mass to force
equivalent tr terrestrial gravitation.
This Is graf -itous supposition, for in
spite Of its enormous mass the earth
weighs nothing.
Starting with the fact that the earth's
mass is about 8. 100 million million
million tons. our statfstioian calculates
that We shocld require 20, 600, 900, 600
years for q 10000 horsepower en-
gins to move our globe . foot. The
boiler that should feed this engine
would vAporize = quantity Of water that
would cover the whole face Of the globe
with layer 500 feet deep. The vapori-
nation Of this water would require 4, 900
milliun-million tons Of coal. This coal
carried in cars holding ten tens each
and having total length Of 80 feet,
would require 400 million-million cars,
which wuuld reach so, 900, 600 times
around the earth. This train, moving
nc the rate Of 40 miles an hour, would
take more than 1000: 600 years to trav-
erse It's own length. Il would require
for storage q shed that would cover
1000 times the area of Europe.
II we realize that Isis fantasticaIly
huge amount Of energy is nothing at all
compared with what the earth possesses
in virtue Of It's rotation about its axis,
its revolution about the SUM- and its
translation. in space with the solar sys-
tenn, OF which the earth is but an In
flnitesimai part and which itself is but
an infnitesimal part Of the universe.

of man in the universe and estimate his

Warming to Those Who Would Send
Trade Circulars Abroad.
Manufacturers who wish to do an ex-
port business must have their circulars
and catalogues translated into foreign
languages, says Engineering, but care
should be taken that the translator is
not only good linguist, but also an ex-
pert in the particular business to which
the documents to be translated refer.
Otherwise the translation is apt to be a
matter of ridicule to those to whom it
is sent.
We cannot well give an instance to
show how an English circular might be
translated into bad German, for exam
pie, but the London Engineer gives us
the following illustration Of transla-
tion from another language into English,
which is probably no worse than many
translations from English.

cular, con making You known that the

they went catch you. They are nearly
as swift. as horse, and their endurance
is as great as their viciousness.

al a station for train, says Household
Words. Being in good time, his Lordship

down the platform. While thus engaged,
he came in contact with a young officer,
whose face seemed familiar TO him. Meet
ing him again, he said Good morning -
AT the next rencontre che Bishop stopped,
saying, How is your father?" The gall
liant soldier replied: He has been dead for
many years. The Bishop tried again with
the query: How is your mother?'

she must be all right, or you would have
heard had she been indisposed" The
Bishop walked away, but his curiosity
was greatly aroused. Seeing the station
master he at once asked him If he could
enlighten him as 10 who the young officer
was with whom he had been conversing.

More Troops for Porto Rico.

There is considerable speculation as to
why so many troops are being hurried to
Porto Rico. Our dispatches yesterday
stated that Gen. Grants brigade was be-
ing dispatched from Newport News as fast
as transports could be obtained. and the
announcement is made that the whole of
Gen. Wade's division, consisting of 10000
men, is to be sent there.
From the accounts that are appearing
in the public prints Gen. Miles has all the
troops he needs for the capture of the
island. He has not called for any more
troops
There must of course be some explana-
ton for this movement of troops TO Porto
Rico. Several explanations have been Civ
en-. but none of them seem to be wholly
satisfactory. One is that it is the desire
Of the administration to give each state
representation in actual service. Another
is that by the time the fresh troops reach
Porto Rico the troops now there will be
in need of rest. The reason. however.
which appears TO be the most plausible.
| is that service in Porto Rico VIII have the
effect OF making veterans of the men The
charge the volunteers as soon as the
treaty of peace Is signed. There win be
need Of a large army for year. and per-
| haps two years. after hostilities cease. 1t
may be that all the volunteers now en-
! listed viii be required 10 maintain order
| in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
! In some quarters the thought is being
| thrown out that there is politics in this
movement of more troops to Porto Rico
| than are needed there. The suggestion is
| that the President doesn't want any of
| the states to feel that they have been
| sighted because none OF their troops have
| been sent to the front II is hardly prob
! able however, that the President would
| spend from eight to ten millions of dol
/ lars simply to crafty a feeling of state
! pride, and at the same time make himself
solid with the politicians and the soldier
boys. Perhaps the treaty of peace will
/ be signed before Gen. Wades division gets
started. In that event there will be no
excuse for sending more troops to Porto
Rico, and there viii be no room for any
| political or other kind of a scandal con-
nected with the sending OF troops to that
/ island.

Guggenheimered.

A new verb has been added to the Ian
guage in New York. ITO guggenheimer"
means to tranepose swearing from those
ordinary and well-known terms of profan-
ity which have been prescribed by NUM-
cipal ordinance into terms and phrases
which will pass the censorship of the
minions of the law. The guggenheimered
expletive, as a matter of fact, seems to
lose much of it's pungency and expressive
ness, still it cannot be denied that there
is a picturesqueness about it which will
appeal to the inventive genius of habitual
swearers as well as to admirers of linguis-
tic bric-a-brac. The etymology of the
new verb may be quickly detailed. Mr..
Randolph Guggenheimer is responsible for
an ordinance under which it costs a New
Yorker anywhere from 50 to IS TO use
profane language within the corporate
limits. In order to evade the law, and
at the same time relieve their minds of
burning thoughts the New Workers have
evolved a new system of swearing, as
Bob Acres did. 1t was necessary to have
a new verb to express the application of
the system, hence Mr.. Guggenheimers
name goes into the language pretty much
as Capt Boycotts did
Some neat examples of guggenheimered
swearing are presented by the Morning
Telegraph, which a few days ago sent a
bright young man out to see how the peo-
pie were surviving the hot weather and
the new anti-swear ordinance. What the
bright young man learned is thus set
down:
f. E. Rice had a narrow escape from
sbeing run down by a cable car. As he
skipped lightly to the sidewalk in front
of the Casino he exclaimed: a
We'll, I'll be good and Guggenhefin-
cred! ia like 20 do a cakewalk on his
sanity bodyl" Then he drifted along up
town.
"Ar' Hayman sat In his office mapping
his noble brow when friend entered and
propounded the fatal conundrum:

bane "Ars" reply. Get out of here, and

The summer gent retired hastily. and
Mr.. Hayman shook his head dolefully as
he remarked; IT'S not the real thing. II

as if 1 hadn't 30 Guggenheimer it."
Just a little further up town w. A.

greeted Manager PurdY.
