KEPT HIS NERVE.
The Lecturer Was Equal to the Occs,-
sion when Asked an En;b
RAISING Question.

The late Isaac Bromley, a noted ed
itoria writer, was "cool, calm and col
lected." Seldom was he put into place
so tight that his nerve" did not dis
close an open door. The New Haven
Register tells this story of the way he
once saved himself Bromley was
lecturing before a local institute in
I.itchfield county, Connecticut, upon a
trip he had recently made to California
and the Yosemite valley, and concluded
with beautiful description of the
Bridal Veil falls, which so charm all
who visit them. As he took his seat
he was surprised to see the man who
forward and say: In accordance with
our usual custom we shall now be glad
to hear any questions that the lecturer
may be desired to answer in relation
to the subject upon which he has been
taking. At this tall, red headed man
rose in the audience. and with rasp-
ing voice said: Il would like 70 ask the
lecturer the exact height of the Bridal
Veil Bromley, who had expected
nothing of this kind, and was never
strong in figures, was entirely taken by
surprise, but gave no sign thereof as he
rose and advanced to the front of the
platform. and coolly answered: did
not measure them, but as nearly as
can remember the exact height is 361
feet 91a inches No further questions
were asked ~

BLEACHING A NEGRO.
Strange story from Vienna of the
Eject of ELECTRICITY Upon
Black Skin.

Two years ago, according to the Vi
emma Fremdenblatt, a Viennese mer-
chant brought back from a business
trip in Africa Soudanese negro 10
years old, named Ibual Lacho.
Ibual soon learned the ways of vi
emma, beginning with the German Ian
guage, astonishing the boulevards with
elegant costumes and finally acquiring
certain fashionable nervous disorders.
These u famous homeopathic specialist
subjected to electrical treatment
Strange to say, Ibual began to grow
white, gradually passing through the
cotfee-and-milk stages, until he became
in complexion Caucasian. though the
shape of his face remained unchanged.
lbual's doctor thinks that the black
pigment in the boys skin was gradually
disintegrated and washed out, as it
were, by the electrical current The
chief coloring matter, melanin, or pig
mentum nigrum, found in the eye, hair,
and skin of the negro, contains iron and
strongly reacts upon electrical applica-
ton.
American physicians will hardly
know how seriously 20 take this report.
1t is well known, however, that negroes
are much more susceptible to the action
of electricity than white men. There
have been several cases of the severe
burning of negroes by the application
of the Y ray, usually harmless to white
skins. 1t is now generally considered
dangerous to X-ray black man.

German Soldiers Toothbrush Drill.

The German military Medical Maya
zine pleads in the interests of the COM
munity for more careful supervision
of the teeth of soldiers. A military doc
tor has collected material from his own
regiment, and finds that 1000 men have
among them 1850 decayed teeth. Only
l64 men were found with all their teeth
intact. The use of the toothbrush is
one of the duties of every soldier, but,
as this officer maintains. the tooth
brush is employed for any purpose ex-
cept to keep the teeth clean. He there
fore suggests that superior officers
should pay more attention to this point
and insist on the noncoms. seeing that
the toothbrushes are used. for their
destined purpose. He further pro-
poses that certain number of young
dentists who are serving their year
should be supplied with instruments
and look after their comrades' teeth.
