GIRL TURNING INTO BONE.
Ossifcation Begins on Cheek and
Spreads Over Her Face.

Binghamton, Feb. 10.-A case of ossi-
fication, the first in this section, is
puzzling the medical fraternity. The
victim is Miss OtilIa Hornung of Au-
burn, and it is thought possible that she
may be cured. If this is effected it will
be the first case of the kind on record
The girl is 16 years old. Some time
ago she noticed that a spot on her cheek
had become hard. Soon the hardening
process spread rapidly to her face and
neck The lips were spared, but the
features assumed a bonelike expression.
There was no pain or discomfort accom-
panying the transformation.
DR.. Glasgow says he has discovered
the cause of the disease and the rem
edy. Meanwhile the girl is rapidly
turning to bone.

Milwaukee's Federal Jurist Says tn Q
Public Must Be compressed"

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 1O.-Judge
James G. Jenkins of the federal court
today announced himself in favor of
judges wearing silk gowns while on the
bench. His main reason for taking this
stand is that the average mind yet
needs mental crutches." He says:
81 favor the custom of the judge upon
the bench wearing a silk gown. 1t lends
dignity to the administration of justice.
All things connected with the courts
should be done in an orderly deliberate
and Impressive manner.
THE average mind yet needs mental
crutches. These are found in ceremon-
ial dress, giving solemnity and impress
ing the imagination. Such formality
can we'll be dispensed with when the
millennium arrives. but that day, I fear,
is far off,

Jealous Men in New York Fall Out
About q Girl

New York Feb. 1o.-A Jealous young
man flashing another amazed the tenants
of 10 Murray street this morning. And
while the whipping continued she who was
culver of fear and admira ton.
The whipper was James Higgins of Jer-

who was the cause of the whipping was
Mary Greene of Jersey City. Miss Greene
and NICHOLS are employed in the Murray

Higgins has been attentive to the girl for

sutton. He thought Nichols, although a
married man, was paying too much atten-

Colon, Colombia, Feb. 10.-The visit
of the railway officials to Panama has
proven fruitless. The strikers have
again refused to accept two dollars cur

The railway today issued a notice
saying that, relying upon the govern

This, however, is considered imprac-

REBREATHED AIR POISON
DIR. JOHN HARTLEY UPON LACK
OF VENTILATION.
Not Only Does Bad Air Garry Acciden-
tai Poisons Like Influenza and Pneu-
monia, but 1t is Poisonous Itself.

DR.. John Hartley asserts in the Lam
Get, London, that "close" rooms and
lack of ventilation are responsible for
more illness than we realize. The trou-
BILE, he says is not rightly understood;
we need, not to let little air in with
out removing the poisonous products
of respiration, but to expel these thor
oughly.
Says DR.. Hartley: ut was long ago
pointed out that certain constituents
of expired air are intensely powerful
nerve poisons. These considerations
should surely make us look on re-
breathed air and sewer gas, not as
mere carriers of accidental poisons,
such as influenza and pneumonia and
the like, but as poisons per Sc, and /
wish to be allowed to record few
very imperfect observations made by
myself during some years past chiefly
on the subject of rebreathed air, with
certain differences which l think tend,
however feebly and imperfectly to
show that the poisons we expire have
per Sc very definite effects on tissue
metabolism and need not a mere per-
functory admixture with fresh air but
very large and very continuous dilutiOn
before they are rendered innoCuous.'
After relating a number of personal
experiences that seem to him to estab-
lish his point, DR.. Hartley goes on:
preston that an overdose of waste
products, whether of ones own or 9TH
er peoples, must generally interfere
with the metabolism of nerve tissue.
Women as they grow older are apt to
live much indoors. 1 believe the fat,
flabby, paunchy woman, whether pur-
pie or pale with feeble, irritable heart,
and inadequate kidneys. is usually
the victim of rebreathed air. A close
room will infallibly give me an abdom-
inal distention and borborygmi within
half an hour, and / am inclined to be-
lieve the purity of the air breathed by
| the dyspeptic quite as important as
| his regimen or his teeth.
1t must, 1 think, sooner or later be
recognized that many of the increasing
ills which it has been the fashion tc
charge on the hurry and brain flag
! incidental to a high state of civiliza-
ton and a large population are in re-
| ality due to the greater contamination
| of the air we breathe by the waste
| products of that population, and thai
toxins eXcreted by the lungs will in
| time take high rank among these as
both potent and insidious. If this
should come to pass, the present ideas
anent ventilation must be abandoned
as utterly futile and the need will bC
felt, not of letting a little air in, bu
| of letting waste products out"

WIRELESS TELEPHONY.
Navy Department Interested in
New Invention.

Navy Department Interested in a
New Invention.
1t is said that the Navy Department is
about to experiment with the recent inven-
tion of an Italian scientist which is aimed
to prevent collisions at sea and destroy the
usefulness of submarine and other craft in
hostile operations. The Italians device is
styled wireless telephony" and by its use,
it is claimed. officers on different ships can
talk with each other without the aid of
wires.
Commander Richardson Glover, Chief of
the Office of Naval Intelligence, says that
the invention has received considerable at
tention abroad and contains elements of
success. Tho invention. IL found practical,
will probably be used in the American ma
val service.
Experiments have been made on the
Italian gunboat Scilla, in the Gulf of
Genoa, in the presence Of scientists and
naval experts. The inventor is a Sicilian
professor, Mario Russo d'Asar. Wireless
telephony announces in the darkness of
the night or a dense fog the approach of
Ships torpedo boats, and even the in
visible submarine boat, indicates their di-
rection, and places the men on watch on
guard.
Concerning the invention and the trials
which have been made, this translation of
an article in "LItalia Marianara," which
has been confirmed by official reports. is
given: "It is we'll known that transmissi-
bility Of sounds is in direct ratio to the
density of the means through which they
are transmitted. 1t is equally well known
that water is an excellent means for trans
mitting sounds to distance. 1t has been
noticed that a bather immersed in water
hears with great distinctness the sound of
a steamers engine in motion, because the
water in which the latter is immersed is in
special state of vibration. owing to the
movement of the engine and the screw
actuated thereby.
From these principles the inventor de-
rived the conclusion that II the ear could
seize these vibrations Of sound, an instru-
ment of great sensibility functioning be-
low water would be susceptible of seizing
them at greater distance and with great
er distinctness, and became convinced that
a telephone apparatus should be the point
of departure for obtaining the practical
means Of signaling between two vessels.
The water would take the place VI the
wires. 1t was necessary. fr-s C: all, to
