Advertisements are sometimes design
ingly worded to induce women to enter
into correspondence, supposedly with 4
woman physician. Women are urged 10
write to a woman on the plea of receiving
a "woman's sympathy" and because "a
woman best understands women" There
is no special feminine road to medical
knowledge. If a woman understands dis.
ease she understands it not as a woman
but as a physician. Mere sympathy won't
relieve pain or cure disease. The need is
of competent medical advice. AS f;0 as
known there is no qualified woman phys
stefan connected with any proprietary

US necessarily as to the state of our

him, has been simply prodigious. His
breath has stirred the veins, not of
hundreds Of men, nor Of thousands, but
of cluster of nations. The peculiar

Wonderful Feats of Shooting.

NJ. Bordeverry. a Frenchman, can
give most of the crack rife shots Of the
world several large pointers about their
art. His accuracy and rapidity of aim
are simply astonishing. At distance
of 80 feet he can cut piece of card
board through the edge as 1t Is poised
upon the head Of an assistant. At a
similar distance, leaning himself Hat on
his back over the seat of chair, with
a pistol in his hand, be can send spin
ming a threepenny piece which rests,
half hidden. upon his assistants head.
He will knock the ash off your cigar at
a distance of 80 feet or light your wax
vesta for you, if you care to hold it. AT
ten yards he can cut swinging thread.
and at the same distance, with three
successive shots, he will pick off three
small trihes balanced one upon the
other upon the head Of his assistant.

"Liszt had already played a great
fantasia of his own and Beethoven

mart of the concert. After this latter
niece he gaaped with emotion as took
his hand and thanked him for the d.
vine energy he had shed forth. AT last
I had managed to pierce the crowd ana
I sat in the orchestra. My chair was on
the same board as Liszt's piano when
the final piece began. 1t was duet for
two instruments, beginning with Men
delssohn's Chants Sans Paroles and
proceeding to work Of Liszts. We
had al,eady passed the delicious chime
of the Song Written In Gondola.'
"As the closing strains began saw
Liszt's countenance assume that agony
of expression, mingled with radiant
smiles of JOY which never cav on
any other human face; only in the
paiptings of our Saviour by some Of the
ea1lv masters. His hands rushed over
the KEYS the floor on which sat shook
like a wire, and the whole audience
was wrapped in sound, when the hand

SEA ANIMALS FOUND.
Remarkable Discoveries Lately
Made in Three Continents.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
In the summer of 1896 A. P. Low, of the
Canadian geological survey, made a journey
through the central regions of Labrador ard
revealed large extent of new country He
travelled north for 500 miles, using the little
rivers for his canoe when possible and cross
ing many portages. He finally came to lake
fifty miles long and from half mile to five
mics WIDE The lake stands 500 feet above
the sea and about 100 miles from it, The
explorers surprise was very great when he
discovered in this lake a large number OF
seals, which appeared to be the common mar
Dor seals, or closely allied species. In other
words, he found sea animals in fresh
lake far from the and high above 1t. He
learned that these animals breeding rap
idly in their fresh-water habitat and that
some OF them are killed every year by the
Indians. Seal lake is the name he gave it.
His conclusion as to how the seas came to
be in the lake is doubtless correct. He found
evidence all around that this was part Of the
region that was submerged by the sea in the
Champlain or late glacial epoch. At that
time the lake undoubtedly connected
with the sea, and when the land began to rise
again. Mr.. Low says. the seals having
found the lake full of fish, lost their incina-
living today. fully adapted to their new con-
dition CT lie.
Similar instances that are still more re-
markable have been found in recent years. In
the great Siberian lake. Baikal which is 1.500
feet above the and hundreds of miles
from it, are numerous seals and a num-
Der of species of marine crustaceans OF
course. they never originated In fresh water,
and the only explanation Is that they came
into the lake at the time when nearly the
whole of Siberia was below sea level. The
depression filled by the lake is Of enormous
depth. The bottom in some parts is three
fourths of a mile below the surface. and in
these depths the animals continue to live
and thrive.

HEAT FROM LAMPS.
Incandescent Lights Can Set Infiam
mable Fabrics AbIaze Quickly,

mable Fabrics AbIaze Quickly
From the New York Tribune.
Perhaps it is not generally known that the
incandescent electric lamp is essentially
device which transforms electricity into light,
but mostly into heat. AS is we'll known the
carbon flament of the lamp is substance
offering great resistance to the passage of
the current, and the product of this resistance
is light and heat. 1t is instance of the
translation of one form of energy into an
other. The light thus produced is, after all.
only a small percentage of the energy man
ifested-some or per cent at the most
The fact is important, bearing in mind
common notion that the electric incandescent
lamp is free from the heat rays. 1t is not
true that the lamp; when working. is not
comparable with a flame of naked light, but
at the same time the heat evolved is such as
may lead to ignition. This point is deserving
of emphasis, because the incandescent cleo
trio lamp is used for purposes of illumina-
ton in shops without any regard to the pos
sibilty-even probability-of fancy goods
which happen to be contiguous being fired.
Indeed, so firm is the idea that the mean
descent electric lamp is free from heat that
1t is frequently to be found buried in mass
of easily ignited and highly inflammable ma
terial This is a mistake and care should he
exercised with the electric lamp in it's appli-
cation in this connection. But. of course the
risk is not so great as when naked lights are
employed. 1t has been found by experiment
that, on immersing a siXteen-candle power
lamp 600 volts pressure) in half a pint of
water, the water boils within an hour, and in
proportionately less time when a thirty-two
candle-power lamp is substituted
IT, again, the lamp is buried In cotton wool
the wool soon begins to scorch, and ultimately
bursts into flame. In one experiment which
was tried this bursting into flame was ac-
companied by loud report, due to the ex
plosion of the lamp. 1t clearly appears from
this that the incandescent electric lamp can
not be regarded as an unlikely means of
starting serious fire, and shopkeepers es-
pecially those who exhibit highly inflam-
mable fabrics, should know that there is a
risk in placing such goods too close to a
lamp
