ADpenOiCitlS.

The position is taken by DIR. McBur-
ney, in the London Medical News, that
there really is no medical cure for APP
pend!citis, even though some cases re
cover without operation; he considers.
too, though appendicitis is surgical
disease, yet operation may not be nee
essary in every case. the fact being
that this ailment is a stoppage OF the
drainage from the appendix to the CO.
ion, and preliminary treatment Is often
worse than useless. Thus, the opium
treatment relieves pain and discomfort,
but entirely masks the symptoms at a
most important time, for 1t Is in the
first twenty-four hours from the begin
ming of the attack that physicians can
decide not only as to the diagnosis, but
as to the result and course probably Of
the case. II, for instance, there Is no
increase in urgency in five or six hours,
the patient Is not in immediate danger
If kept at perfect rest In bed; on the
other hand, If IN twelve hours there Is
still no increase in the severity Of the
symptoms, the patient should begin to
improve. But, II the urgency Of the
case has steadily increased in twelve
hours from the time when the dag
nosis was made, an operation will prob
ably be called for. After two attacks
a patient Is sure to have a third, and
each attack renders operation more diff
ficult and dangerous; all the advan-
tages lie with operation between the at
tacks, and in an operation during an
acute attack the prognosis Is worse.

civilization brings risks as we'll as ad-
vantages. The people who lived a hun
dred years ago could not travel so rap
idly nor communicate with each other
across great distances so conveniently
as we do; but ON the other hand, they
were strangers to some perils which are
familiar nowadays. Their journeys
were slow and serious affairs; but they
were in no danger of being blown up
ON steamboat, or tumbled over rail-
way embankment, or even Of being run
over by trolley-car or "scorching'
wheelman. Their houses were not
lighted by electricity or by water gas;
but they were not burned up by reason
of badly insulated wires or asphyxiated
in their beds. They knew nothing of
fifteen-story buildings, but they also
knew nothing Of elevator accidents.
Nevertheless, it is doubtful If more lives
are lost by accidents of travel, in pro-
portion to the number of people travel
ing, than was the case century ago.
Hundreds of people travel by water
now where one did so then; but ocean
travel has been made relatively more
safe as well as more swift and COM
Portable, by modern appliances. There
are still possibilities Of collision or of
striking reef in a fog, but it almost
never happens that a modern sea-
worthy vessel founders through stress
Of weather. One steamship company
which has sent it's steamers back and
forth across the Atlantic for more than
fifty years is able to boast that it has
never lost the life of passenger in the
service. AS to the railways, in 1896
one hundred and eight-one passengers
were killed ON the railways Of the
United States, and nearly twenty-nine
hundred were injured. When these
figures are compared with the amount
of passenger tfaffic, it appears that the
railways carried nearly three million
passengers for every one who was
killed, and about one hundred and
eighty thousand passengers for every
passenger injured. A famous humorist
once compared the number of people
killed in railway accidents with the
number dying in their beds, and reach
ed the conclusion that it was several
thousand times more risky to lie In bed
than to travel on railway. It was Il
playful exaggeration; but 1t is true
that, If modern discovery and invention
have resulted in new hazards to human
life, they have also supplied new safe
guards and preventives.

strike involved the question Of an

points the men were defeated. 1t Is
estimated that the strike caused loss

The United States has long enjoyed
the distinction of producing more gold
than any other country, but in spite of
the recent discoveries in Alaska, and
the gold that is being brought into the
country via the Pacific, 1t is thought
that we are to be robbed of this dis
tinction. There is reason to believe
that the Transvaal will soon take the
lead In gold-production, If it has not
already done so. The Engineering and
Mining Journal recently estimating the
output of gold for the year, credited to
the United States $50, 49S,95O and to
the Transvaal $55,472,3OO. The sig
nificance of these figures is understood
by comparison with the figures for
1896, which show that the increase in
the United States was only $3,O00,O0O,
while the Transyaal made a jump of
no less than $135OO,OOO. If the Tral-s-
vaal keeps up anything like this pace
during the present year, there is little
doubt that we shall be left behind in
the gold-producing race. It is not i'm
possible, indeed, that the United States
may drop to the third place before long.
Australia is increasing her production
Of gold rapidly. Her total last year
was more than $49,OOO,OOO, and this
without counting New Zealand and other
adjacent islands. This shows gain of
nearly 100000 over the yield Of 1896;
so it will be seen that if Australia con-
tinues to gain at the same rate and the
United States makes no more progress
than it has in the last twelve months.
there will be two countries in the world
with better gold-producing record
than ours.

to dig for gold ore there. They intend
to admit as many as will venture their
money, and so make themselves COM
pany. Two hundred and fifty pounds
Is the lowest share for every man."

pursuit is gold-hunting in Africa, but 1t
likewise reveals the purpose Of the

THE PRIMARY LAW OVER
III. s. FairchiId Thought That It's

The chamber of commerce yesterday post
pored discussion of the proposed primary
election law for two weeks. The question
caused considerable discussion. H. s. Fair
child objected to the clause which provides
fcT the disqualification of a citizen who does
not vote at the primary. He declared the
law would be unconstitutional If the clause
was included. There is no constitutional re-
qulrement that voter shall have voted at
a primary.

Quite breeze was stirred up by the mer-

renorted that 1t was better to have open

was IN response TO q request OF the local
labor unions to let local stone cutters only
work on public buildings. The comm: ttee's
report was unsatisfactory and 1t was referred

thought that 1t was but recently that a
movement was started in this city TO patronize

TO prove the sincerity of the business men
interested In It.
