Rids FOR ship Contract..

Washington, Dec. 1o.-Never since
the birth of the new navy has there
been such gathering of ship builders
and metal kings as were assembled in
the Office of the secretary of the navy
to witness the opening of bids for an
amount of naval construction which
Secretary Long denominated as the
greatest industrial event this or any
other country had ever seen, involving
the placing of contracts for about $780,
OOo,OOO There were eight bidders, and
most of the bids were well within the
limit of the cost allowed by congress
for the ships. The notable feature was
the attempt on the part of younger and
smaller concerns to break the line of
the old organizations which have con-
structed all the vessels of the new
navy up to this time.

ABOUT scRoFuLA
It 4, Not Now Regarded as a Distincs
Disease.

Disease.
At the present day physicians no
longer regard scrofula as distinct dis
ease, but the term is still used in an
indefinite way to designate the pres
ence of enlarged glands in the neck
and a tendency to chronic infiamma-
ton in the skin and mucous mem
branes. The Emphatic glands in the
neck are prone to enlarge on very
slight proVocation. 1t is common, for
example, to find the glands beneath
the jaw swollen as result of irrita-
ton from decayed tooth, a canker
sore, or any other abnormal condition
in the mouth; but the swelling in such
cases is usually transient, and sub
sides with the disappearance of the
cause. Not so, however, with "scrof-
ulous" glands. These remain perma-
nently enlarged, perhaps slowly in
creasing in size. They are at first
hard, but later become soft, as
cheesy matter forms in the interior,
and eventually break down, giving is
sue to chronic discharge, which is
succeeded by an unsightly soaring of

consumption, the seat of the tubercu-
losis being the glands in the neck in
stead of the lungs. 1t is not in itself
dangerous to life, but it's presence in
dictates that the sufferer is vulnerable
to tuberculosis, and is consequently q

"Scrofulous neck" should have an
abundance of nourishing, well-cooked
food, and should be encouraged to eat
at little at time and often, rather
than to take the ordinary three large
meals a day. Plenty Of butter and
cream should enter into the dietary,
and cod-ltver oil may be taken with
advantage. if it does not disturb the
appetite or the digestion. Summer and
winter the patient should spend most

Is generally advisable to have them
removed, for if this is not done they
will finally break down and discharge,
and the resulting scars will be much
more conspicuous than those that
would have been left after the cutting
out of the glands. Besides, there is
always danger OF the disease spread
ing to the lungs or other parts Of the
body so long as the tuberculous glands
are allowed to remain.-Youth's Com

FAST TRAINS SUCTION.
1t Is Well for Bystanders to Keep at .
Safe Distance.

''The theory that a moving train
carries along an enveloping air is very
interesting" said an engineer, "and I
believe there is a good deal Of truth
in it. I first had my attention attract
ed to the subject by curious incident
that happened several years ago at a
crossing near Birmingham, Ala,
where trains pass twice a day at a
speed of about forty miles an hour
says the New Orleans Times-Democrat
THE tracks are seven feet apart, and
there would seem to be ample room to
stand between them in perfect safety.
One afternoon a small fox terrier dog
in the middle space and woke up just
as the trains closed in from each side.
There was a barrel on the ground near
by and the dog in his fright jumped on
top of it. That probably brought him
into one of the rushing envelopes Of
air; at any rate he was whirled off his
feet and thrown clear to the roof of the
opposite car. where he was subse-
quently found, damned against a VEN
a broken leg. How in the world he
ever made such journey and escaped
alive is a mystery, unless his fall was
deadened by cushion of air. Apro-
pos of atmospheric pressure, it is a
well-knoWn fact that there is vortex
space, or zone Of suction, directly
behind any rapidly moving train, and
its presence accounts for a grotesque
happening that took place some years
ago on the Southern Pacific. While
the California-bound express was 60
ing through western Arizona at a
clipping gait a passenger who was on
the verge of jim-jams rushed out to
the rear platform, climbed on the rail
and jumped off. He was wearing c
very long linen buster, and muscular
tourist who happened to be on thu
platform at the time grabbed it by the
tails as it sailed by, and yelled for
help. When some of the others ran
to his assistance they found the lun-
attic stretched straight out in the air
behind the platform, bowling like a
Comanche, but safely anchored by this
buster, which had turned inside out
and caught him at the shoulders. The
muscular gentleman was hanging on
for dear life, but had it not been for
the fact that the would-be suicide was
virtually sustained and carried along
by the suction of the vortex space
something would certainly have given
away. They reeled the man in like a
kite and he promised to be good. We
have very little exact knowledge at
present of the atmospheric conditions
that surround moving train A
fuller knowledge of them may lead to
the solution of some battling problems
in traction"

Chased By a Buck.

Williamsport (Pa.) Special Philadel-
phia Inquirer: A Mr.. Wiseman Of
Philadelphia had an exciting expert
ence with big black buck while hunt
ing on the Dtzmachson game pre-
serves. While walking through the
woods he encountered the buck, which
proceeded to show fight. Mr.. Wiseman
attempted to shoot, but his gun did
not respond. He started to run, and
the deer did likewise. The race would
have ended seriously had it not been
that the Philadelphia was able to
cross a water dam on plank. The
buck was close by, but, as it had to
swim, Mr.. Wiseman had time to load
his Winchester, and killed the deer.
