ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

The Medizinisches Wochenblatt. of
Munich, Bavaria, announces that Drs.
Lange and MELTING have finally sue
ceeded in photographing the interior
of the stomach. Having for some
years experimental independently Of
each other. they have in the end COM
bined their efforts. The PHOTOGRAPH
can be taken in every case where a
tube can be admitted. The photo-N
graphic apparatus, which is fastened
to the tube, has length of sixty-six
millimeters GIG inches) and a diame-
ter OF eleven millimeters. Through
the tube runs fine wire, by means II
which the electric lamp is made to
junction. In order to photograph thes
interior OF the stomach 1t must have<a
distended surface. To produced this.
the stomach, after being emptied and
cleaned, is filled with air, whereupon
some forty or fifty photographs can lie
taken in ten or fifteen minutes. BY
turning the apparatus on its axis, re-
production of every part of the gastric
surface can be obtained. These pho
tographs have the size of a cherry
stone, but can easily be enlarged so as
to plainly show the condition Of the
mucus membrane.

An interesting feature of the equip
ment of our torpedo boats will be the
miniature generating sets like that
here shown, says Modern Machinery
This is one of a number recently built
by the b. F. Sturtevant company of
Boston for the navy. Its diminutive
size is shown by comparison with the
figure of the machinist standing be-
side it. he features of the design are
reliability, low temperature, good reg
ulation, ability to stand continuous
overloads, a minimum of attendance
high weight efficiency and great COM
pactness. This generating set was de-
signed to be able to develop its rated
output continuously with no sparkling
at the brushes and with a temperature
rise not to exceed 60 degrees F.; while
the total weight of the engine and
dynamo complete ready for steam pipe
was limited to 500 pounds. To insure
steadiness in running, as well as to

gravity was kept as low as possible by

years is illustrated in the fact that
between 1870 and 1897 the number
of professional woman writers in the
United States increased from 1853 to
1853. Yet If 1853 of these could be
picked out, how willingly could the
rest be spared. Writing is a fatally
tempting occupation to those who
have never had a training for any
thing else.
London is at least to have a real
university, and a scheme is proposed
for grand imperial institution, with
headquarters at the capital and af-
filiated colleges in the colonies, with
uniform system of examinations.
The site has not yet been chosen, but
one suggestion is to erect new build
ings on the three acres of vacant land
owned by the Imperial institute.

ELECTRIC WHIPPING POSTS.
New Device Will Administer Each
Blow with the Same Force.

Electric whipping posts may be a
thing of the future. Newton Harri-
son, editor of the Electrical Age, has
invented a mechanical appliance by
which corporal punishment may be
administered by merely touching a
button out of sight of the culprit, out
of hearing of his cries.
The greatest advantage of the cleo
trio whipping post, however, is the
fact that it is absolutely just under all
conditions and to all prisoners. 1t
cannot be bribed and is not subject
to political influence.
1t is said that in Delaware, where
the whipping-post is used, 1t is next
to impossible to administer exact JUS
tice in such punishment.
The new device insures that each
blow will be administered with ex-
actly the same force. In other words,
it may be depended upon to admins
ter automatically correct justice.
The principle of the machine is
simple. The victim is first dashed Sc
curely to the post with his arms above
his head. The whipper is a large
wheel which turns freely on an up
right. The whip or thing is attached
to the rim of the wheel, and as the
weel revolves 1t is swung violently
around.
The wheel is lowered or raised to
bring it on level with the victims
back. The wheel is revolved by a
small motor at the base of the up
right, connected with the axle by a
rear wheel.
The motor is controlled by an cleo
trio button. When the whipper
touches the button the wheel is re-
leased and the whip is swung at a
nigh speed. In moving around this
circle it travels about twenty feet,
which serves to give it considerable
momentum. The force of the blow
may be increased or reduced by regu-
lating the speed at which the wheel
revolves.
Eeach time the operator touches the
button, it will be understood, a blow
or lash is administered. The time
between the blows can be regulated as
desired. The whipping might by
this means be carried on without any
witnesses. 1t would only be necessary
for the public executioner in this case
to touch the button as many times
as the law provided and the electric
whipping post would do the rest

MEN, WOMEN AND AFFAIRS.

Mountaineers who love the jung
frau are encouraged. It is now said
that the 10000 yards of tunnel which
will be necessary for the projected
railway to reach the summit cannot
be completed in less than 20 years,
so that all Alpine climbers Of the
present day are likely to pass through
their mountaineering days undis-

A new version of an old witticism

PIN MONEY IN ONIONS.

The small farmer who lives near a
city market and teaches his boys and
girls to raise onions on their own lit
tie plot on his farm is giving them a
chance to make all the pin money
they need and put something In the
bank besides. There is more profit
in it than keeping chickens and sell
ing eggs. Onions are easy to raise,
and on part OF the land that isn't
wanted for any other purpose. Ones
the seed is sown there isn't much to 20
but keep the weeds out. The onions
can be harvested and left to cure when
the tops have died down, and II isn't
much trouble to get them TO market.

teen cents a quart in tn eff all OF the

The treatment of itching, says
medical contributor to Youths Com
panlon, varies with the cause, but
some form of external application Is
almost always used, whatever MAJ bs
the underlying trouble. In case OF
general itching much relief Is often
afforded by an alkaline bath made by
dissolving three or four ounces OF Dor
AK, or five or six gallons OF blcarb6n-
ate OF soda In 30 gallons OF water.
When the itching Is local, a useful
plan is to mop the part with sponge
or cloth dipped in a saturated solution
of borax as hot as can be borne, or 10
apply a hot-water bag. The itching
is often made bearable, II not actually
cured, by application OF dilute water
OF ammonia, vinegar brandy. soln-
ton OF carbolic acid-one part acid IN
20 parts OF water--or carbolized Of
OF 20 per cent. strength. Finallyy We
may repeat the advice which DOCTORS
always give, and which few do or car
follow-don't scratch!

WHEN MAN is IN HIS PRIME.
Ages at Which He is Best in Mental
and Physical Strength.

The question has often been asked,
When is man In his prime? But for
obvious reasons satisfactory answer
has never been given. II prime" be
taken as the time when a mans in
tellectual powers are most highly de-
veloped, then IL is apparent at once
that this is not likely to correspond
to the age when he is in the acme of
physical strength.
Tests to determine when man is
at his best physically and mentally
have recently been made In London.
and the results have caused a deal of
establishment to those who believe
man is in his prime between the ages
of 40 and so. Tests OF the strength,

HORSERADISH TIME.
Uses of This Pungent Root That
Some People Don't Know
About.

OF the itinerant merchants whose
raucous cries are just now particrlar
ly penetrating none is more insiste1t
than the purveyor OF horseI adish n
vender almost peculiar to the East
side and upper sections of New York.
He comes a tritle early this year. per
haps, hut he says on being question ned
as to this previouspess that the horse
radish crop is very nu ch ahead IF its
time.
Properly" said one of the vendors
to me, 1.-The season does not begin I'M
til oyster time: but since the crop
insisted on coming to perfection some
weeks in advance and horseradish is
mighty good as a relish for all sorts
of cold meats, why, sckon no one
objects to that fact, least ways not the
restaurant keepers.
Good cooks always buy plenty of
horseradish of us hawkers, for you
have no idea how many are the fine
dishes which may be made with the
root. Lots of people make a very
toothsome sauce by covering one
pound of sliced horseradish root with
Spirits OF wine anu keeping tHt HIN
ture tightly corked. Then this is
added drop by drop to the white
sauces used for meats or fish. When
mixed with little fresh mustard and
red pepper the horseradish and spirits
of wine make a great sauce for broiled
beef or deviled chicken.
"Horseradish vinegar is another
connection much used in New York,
and the way to make it is to soak
cupfu! of freshly grated root to-
gether with an ounce of minced on
ions, piece of garlic and n pinch of
red pepper in quart of cider vinegar
After this has been kept corked up
for week it is strained through a
cloth and bottled for use. 1t is pleas
ant addition to number of salads.
MANY of the restaurants uptown
where the cooks are foreigners grow
very fine salad from horseradish.
They take the crowns which are left
after the roots are dug up and bury
them upright in moist beds which they
keep specially for the purpose in the
dark, warm cellars under the restau-
rants."-N. Y. Herald.

A Breezy Time.

Hoot, mon! Pretty girls disguised in
bathing suits. Rag time music on all
kinds OF instruments. Funny men and
hundred laughs minute.
This was the record of "a Breezy
Time" as played two nights last week at
Mason's opera house. There is no plot,
no counterpart to bother the people,
Just succession of broken links OF the
chain of mirth and jollity. There was
an admixture of farce, extravaganza and
vaudeville, the bright particular stars be-
ing Jack" and "Daisy." End men
jokes were frequent, some new. some
stale, some horrid. OF the latter kind
the German dialect comedian said 4:
Love is intoxication marriage delirlnm
tremens; divorce is relapse" The
breeze began as soft as a cooling dove /;
then gradually blew gently as the zephyr
that tries in vain to fill the sails of the
Columbia and the Shamrock. 1t then
developed with such intensity as to ex-
tinguish not only the incandescents in
the theater, but all over town, winding
up in genuine cyclone.
The manager promised to visit Yakima
again when the new opera house is COM
pleted, and "a Breezy Time" will be
more than welcome.
