strengthens the very foundations Of the

demaeoguery of the campaign of the
opposition, and clear, cool diagnosis

HAPPILY UNCOMMON.

The Painful Disease From Which a
Ten-Year-Old Boy is Suffering,
There is now under treatment In the
Melrose hospital boy, ten years old,
suffering from condition almost un-
known to physicians. Last June he ex-
perienced an attack of typhoid fever
which ran it's usual course and from
which he apparently perfectly recov
cred. He went to the seashore for the
rest of the summer, swan in the sea
daily, grew strong and robust, and was
to all appearances quite well. After
being at home in Melrose for a short
time, one day about six weeks ago, af-
ter riding during the afternoon with his
parents, the boy complained of pain in
his left ankle The next day DR..
Charles C. Odlin of Melrose was sum
moned. Upon examination the doctor
found no swelling or redness Of the an
kle, but after week or more the ankle
began to swell and grow red, and the
shoulder and arm on the same side be-
came similarly affected. Upon the ap-
pearance of these symptoms the doctor
made free missions into both ankle and.
arm, which were followed by copious
discharge of pus. AS the discharge
continued it was determined that there
must be necrosis of the bone, and the
boy was removed to the Melrose hospi-
tai to be operated upon for the removal
of the decayed bone. When DR. Odlin
opened the leg for this purpose he was
surprised to find the whole bone abso-
lutely rotten, even the marrow being
black and decayed In order to save

4 NEW UONDER.

The announcement is made that Sig
nor Marconi has practically solved the
question of ocean transmission by wire
less biography, and will soon be able
to use his system across the Atlantic.
1t is said that Signor Marconi's infinite
capacity for taking pains has enabled
him to construct apparatus whereby he
can lengthen the air waves to an al
most unlimited extent. Furthermore,
by the same ingenious device, sound
will be made to travel close to the sur
face of the ocean over the whole dis
lance, thus circumventing the dreaded
difficulty presented by the curvature of
the earth. Hence the masts erected at
Southampton and on Long Island need
not, it is now contended, be higher than
the roof of New York skyscraper.
If Signor Marconi's infinite capacity
for taking pains has enabled him to do
this it is wonderful, so wonderful that
it is hard to believe but after what has
been done it is not wise to be of little
faith in the matter Of new wonders.
