Physicians say That the Liausd Reaches

One of the most cherished tenets OF

hat gargling with a mixture of vine

J Now come physicians with their cold
science to say not only that the vine

whole idea of gargling is ineffective.
In brief, they say that gargling Is 1T

declare that liquid cannot reach the
onsils or back of the throat because

In paper read before the Paris
Academy of Sciences entitled faction
of Some Gases on Caoutchouc." M.
DArsonyal showed that ut pressures
varying from one to Ave atmospheres
caoutchouc absorbs large quantities
OF carbonic acid gas and at the same
time Increases in volume and becomes
more gelatinous and less elastic. On
exposure to air the gas is gradually
lost and the caoutchouc resumes its
original properties Hence vessels of
eaoutchoue readily allow carbonic acid
gas to pass through their walls. The
action Is much slower in the case of
oxygen and is slight with nitrogen.
From these experiments NJ. D'Arson-
val suggests that bicyclists should in
nate their tires with nitrogen. This,
however, would not seem to be neces-
sary, according to Invention. for after
the tires have been repeatedly debated
through loss of oxygen and then
pumped up with ordinary air the pro-

light glimmering about, and playing
within each of the side befths.
While shrinking into corner of
the cabin, with eyeballs straining,
gazed at them alternately with spe
cies of horrid fascination. The two
lights were weird, wavering and pale;
they seemed to me as two warnings
from the land Of spirits, for they play
ed upon the curtain and in the recess
of each berth, port and starboard in
which dead man had been found.
And while these lights shone, there
came upon my ear the palpable sound

from the oppressed chest of some one,

THE eyes that in the dark seemed to

with its mates Lynx and Sunfsh, left
st. Ives on a passage to Falmouth. On
the way the Thrasher grounded ON
point, causing serious injury to the
boilers and the bursting of the main
feed-pipe. The burst pipe instantly
filled the stokehold with scalding
steam. In it were two stokers, Ed
ward Lynch and James Paul. All the
rest Of the boats company were land
ed on the rocks. but the doubling up
Of the deck had prevented the egress
Of the stokers by the starboard hatch
way. There was still a port hatch
way, which was partially closed, and
towards this the two men made their
way, Lynch in the lead. Directly un-
der the hatchway and discharging
through 1t, was the break In the steam

Lynch lay down on the deck with his
head and face in the escaping steam,
seized hold OF the sinking Paul. ana
by q remarkable exercise OF force and
tenacity drew him up on the deck.
Lynch then rose to his feet, but it
was observed that he was badly scald-
ed about the head, arms and upper
part Of the body. The surgeon began
to apply oil and wool to his burns, but
he repealed the attention. I'm all
right" he exclaimed; look after my
chum! He's very bad" He had said
nothing about the way he had rescued
Paul, but his manly conduct led the
surgeon to Investigate, and it was as
eertained that, in order to rescue his
comrade, he had plunged the whole
upper part of his body into what was
practically a boiling cauldron. More
than this, it appeared that Lynch had
previously sacrificed his own chance
OF escaping from the stokehold the
other way in order to stay with Paul.
IN recognition of this act of selfsae-
rifce and bravery, Lynch was pre-
scented with the Albert Medal OF the

The use of track tanks by which To-

trains may take water without stop
ping is almost universal on the larger
Eastern roads. where fast expresses are
the rule. The B. & O. r. r. has
number between Washington and Phil

cision was recently arrived at through
the use of passenger locomotives,
equipped with water scoops, on fast
freight trains. II was found that much
time was saved, danger from stopping,
being reduced to a minimum and cost
of running lessened. The extra stops
for water take much time and the wear
