Victims Skin.
From the New York Press
One of the strangest cases the authori-
ties of st. Vincents Hospital have had in
a long time is that of John MCGUIRE OF No.
593 Greenwich street, who died at the hos
pital yesterday. He had an ailment called
emphysema, which caused the skin of his
body to become like a bladder and mir, get
ting under 1t, caused it to swell until the
man was unacceptable.
Mcclure fell or was pushed downstairs at
his home on Thursday morning. No amou-
lance was summoned till a. m, six hours
after the man had been injured. Then DR..
Denaouilly of st. Vincents Hospital found
that McGuire's skull had been fractured.
There were also a fracture OF the collar
bono, several fractured ribs and a puncture
of the lung. The last named affection, DR..
Denaouiily said. produced emphyserna.
There are only six cases of this disease
on record" said DR.. Denaoullly. Three
Of them have been at this hospital The
ailment is due to a new bug, called the
aerogenes bacillus, which germ produces
air.
Half an hour after Mcclure reached the
hospital his skin, from head to foot, was
in the same state. the skin swelling up
from the air which was pushed under 1t
and which pushed the skin out so that the
man could not be recognized. When /
pressed my hand on the skin IL cracked
as though eggsheIs were beneath the sur
face
The swelling did not go down at any
time, and the man died yesterday. The
body Is still in the same condition, and
several physicians have called at the hos
pital 20 see Il. The police have been TN

Tho revival of American shipping has aroused
public interest here very seriously for several
months. Discussion on 1t is taken outside the
columns OF the technical journals by q remark
able article contributed to the Times this week.
TIL writer mentions there that Pennsylvania
and Alabama furnaces are turning out ship
plates for European shipyards. and that the
question Is naturally being asked In America.
If VIC can make the plates and frames. why
can't we build the boats also ?" The Times. in
its editorial columns. has no doubt OF what the
answer will be. 1t says; "A country which has
turned out the modern navy OF the United
States need not fear competition In material
resources. mechanical appliances. or construc-
i've skill with any shipbuilders In the world"
Its conclusion IL that "if we were dis
posed to consider tho question solely from
the point OF view OF the Interior interests OF
this country. we should have to hope that the
repeal OF the Navigation laws OF the United
States might be delayed as long as possible.
The immediate effect of the repeal would
probably be greatly to our benefit. It might be
expected to lead = the transfer TO tho Ameri-
can flag OF a large number OF 'tramps' and
cargo boats now employed by Americans under
HforeiGn flag, and English shipbuilders would
BIO Hooded with orders from firms who are now
deferred from entering the trade by the
hopelessness OF competing on even terms with
foreigners. Any ships now ahoat under the
English nag which we're sold to American
owners would probably he replaced by their
vendors with new ships built At home.
Nevertheless, sooner or later the American
shipbuilding trade Is certain TO find
itself able TO supply all the demands OF
the country for shipping. and to that extent
the British trade must in the long run be the
loser. In other words. the Navigation laws OF
the United States really act rather as a protec-
zion to British industry than as a protection to
PSsye fnduStry. Their repeal might benefit
