The Egg in Medicine.

Tn medicine the shell of an egg is used as an antacid, being better adapt ed to the stomach than chalk. The white of an egg is an antidote in cases of poisoning with strong acids or cor rosive sublimate. The poison will con gulate the albumen, and if these poi sons be in the system the white of an egg, if swallowed quickly, will combine with the poison and protect the stom- ach. An astringent poultice is made by causing it 10 eoagulate with alum. This is called alumcurd and is used in certain diseases of the eye. The yolk of the egg is sometimes used in jaun- dice and is an excellent diet for dys- pepties.

land and provided with proper ammu- milton there. Owing to this advantage, her craftsmanship has been vastly more effective than that of any other of our warships.
 Some of the experts in the navy de- partment want to make the three new battleships considerably longer than has been contemplated, in order that they may accommodate bigger boilers and engines, with 6 view to increased speed. This plan, however, will not be adopted. One Improvement decided on for all war vessels built from this time on is fireproof wood. The fights at Santiago and Manila have proved that one Of the greatest dangers in mod ern sea battle is fire, the exploding shells igniting everything that is in fiammable. It was fire that destroyed the Spanish ships at Santiago. The moral of this is obvious, and in future every bit of wood put into our fighting craft, including the three new battle ships, will be subjected to process by which it is rendered as non-inham- mable as asbestos. The process con- sists in withdrawing the sap from the wood in vacuum, and then filling the pores with a chemical salt which prac- tically mineralizes the material.
 The turret armor is to be 14 inches thick, and the sides of each ship, from the armor belt proper up to the main deck will be protected by 5A inches of steel armor from barbette to barbette. For additional protection, coal is to be stored ip bunkers back of this 51s-inch armor. Nowadays pretty nearly every thing on board of a ship of war is run by electricity and the new battleships will be provided with every thing that is newest and best in this line. The electric generating plant for each yes sel will weigh 24,0O0 pounds, and the total weight of the electrical appar- atus for each ship including dynamos, engines, etc, will be in the neighbor- hood of "A tons. The ships will be steered by electricity, and the same fluid will operate their turrets and load their guns. In short, they will be the most complete and perfect types of warships constructed up to the pres eht daee. RENE BAcHE.

SHOT IN THE NECK.

Yesterday evening while lot of
boys and negro men we're congre-
gated about the tent of the Great
London Liliputian circus, at the
foot of Dudley Avenue and Broad
street, a fight engendered between
two negroes and one of them was
getting the worst of it and he call
ed to a companion to shoot the
man on him. The boy drew a 80
coibre pistol and leveled it on the
crowd and pulled the trigger. The
ball flew wide of its mark and hit
Wilfred McFadden, son of T. c..
McFadden, in the neck and lodged
there. The boy came up town
bleeding, to get an officer to ar
rest the negro and found Deputy
Sheriff Casey, who carried him home
Mr.. McFadden telephoned for DIR.
D, S. Williams, who soon after ar
rived at the McFadden house and
cut the bullet out of the young
mans neck. The officers have been
searching for the negro who fired
the shot but have not caught him.

Washington, Apr. 2,-Believing

Arrangements have also been made

.CROND|NG THE PRESIDENT.
Congress Tells Him He Must
Act or They viii Take the
Initiative,
THE SENATE TO THE FRONT.
The Senate Has Drafted Resolutions
Holding Spain Responsible for
the Maine Destruction.

Washington, April 2.-It is stat
ed tonight that President McKin-
ley will send his message to Con
gress Wednesday; that up to this
time he has not determined iully
what recommendation he will make,
but that he will make a recommen-
dation without leaving the initiative
to Congress. What that recon-
mendation will be the President
does not himself know He has not
yet settled his policy, but he will
communicate with Congress Wed
nesday.
Washington, April 2,--Convinced
that Congress will compel action,
either with or without suggestion
from the White House, the Presi-
dent is preparing message to the
legislative branch.
1t may completed by Monday, but
probably will not be sent in until
Wednesday. 1t will be an exhaus-
tive document, and while making
no suggestion OF war or interven-
ton, will present such a case as will
leave no other course open.
While the time when hostilities
will commence cannot now be fixed
definitely, there is no escape from
war. Nor will there be great delay.
Both houses are ready for action,
and the slow, deliberate Senate is
keener for immediate action than is
the emotional and clustering House.
Diplomatic negotiations between
the United States and Spain have
ceased,
Washington, April 2.-It will
meet with popular favor that the
Senate Committee in its report will
refer to the destruction OF the
Maine as one OF the moving causes
for Intervention. Whatever may
be the opinion of international ju-
rists, Americans think, as a rule,
that that terrible disaster is the act
for which the hardest blow must be
struck at the treacherous Span
iards. And so it is regarded, in
fact, in the minds of the members
of the Senate Committee, and ex-
pressed prominently in their report.
In all their meetings during the
last three days, like Banquo's ghost,
the Maine has entered, unbidden.
The sentiment of the House also
is strongly in favor of making the
destruction of the Maine the princi-
pal indictment against Spain.
On the other hand, the President
is firm in the determination that
this shall not be done. 1t is said
that he will carry his opposition to
an extreme point.
