CATARRH AND ITS SYMPTOMS.


, Catarrh is an Inflammation OF any
Of the mucuous membranes OF the
body. 1t is marked by the usual signs
Of Inflammation and, rs the word I'M
plies-being derived from a Greek
word meaning to flow down-by
more or less profuse discharge. Ca
tarrh may be acute or chronic, and the
latter, as will be explained later, may
be either atrophic or hypertrophlc.
Acute catarrh unfortunately needs no
description, for it is only too tamlllaf
to us all as cold in the head. In TINS
case it is the mucous membrane OF Ihe
nostrils which is inflamed. The most
obvious symptoms are swelling OF the
membrane, which may be so great as
to close the nostrils completely, and
profuse discharge. When acute catarrh
attacks the pharynx or Iarynx we nave
sore throat, and if the inflammation
extends still farther we have brohchl-
tbs. In the latter case the most evident
sign is a cough due either to the pres
ence of a mucous discharge, or to II
ritaton caused by the air passing
through the infamed bronchial tubes.
In young children the Inflammation ia
the larynx causes much swelling, ana
| this gives rise to the difficult breathing
and hoarse voice which characterize
one form Of Group. If catarrh attacks
| the stomach it causes severe indiges-
| ton, and when the Intestinal mucous
membrane is affected the most proml-
| nent symptom is diarrhoea. Commune
| tivitis and acute Inflammation OF the
| ear are the expressions of catarrh OF
! the eye and the drum of the ear. IN
| chronic catarrh the process is less ac-
tive; there is usually little or no PAIN
but the discharge is profuse and thlck.
In hypertrophic catarrh the mucous
membrane becomes permanently thlch-
| ened, but in atrophic catarrh IT, Is
thinned. Atrophic catarrh is not real
" an Inflammation, but rather the
result Of a previous Inflammation
which has destroyed the mucous mem

MUSICAL BEETLES.

The researches OF Mr.. c.. J. Gahan
show that while the structure OF the
musical or stimulating organs of bee
ties is extremely simple. they some
times possess contrvances for varying
he pitch. The general structure Of
such an organ is hard surface coy
cred with situations, over which some
other member of the body furnished
with rasping edge or area is rubbed.
When the strated surface is divided
into parts with finer and coarser mark
ings, variations of pitch can be pro-
duced. The organs occur in various
species on the head, the legs, the wing
cases and the hind body. The katy
did and the cricket, which produce mu-
steal tones in the same way, do not
belong to the beetle family.

A PAIR OF RUNAWAYKITES.

Two kites, which were the leading
members of flight of five sent up last
summer from the Royal Aeronautical
Observatory near Berlin, broke away
from their companions, and, dragging
a long wire which touched the ground
and extended two miles behind them,
fled before the wind almost 100 miles
before they were brought to the earth.
The resistance of the wire trailing over
the land sufficed to keep the kites prop
erly presented to the wind, and their
lonely journey lasted through an en-
tire night. When the kites started on
their remarkable break for liberty they
were at height of more than two and
half miles.

A LESSON FROM AMERICA.

During the Paris exposition an
American firm obtained permission to
drive an artesian we'll in the Bots de
Vincennes near Paris. The city OF
Paris has two artesian wells which re-
quired respectively nine and six years
to be driven. The American we'll was
sunk to a nearly equal depth. 1885 feet,
last summer in two months The
French were surprised at the rapidly
of the work: as wei! as by the homeli-
ness and simplicity of the apparatus.
The American company has since Of
fered to donate the we'll to Paris as
an addition to it's water supply, and
some of the French scientific journals
express the hope that 1.-THE practical
lesson which the new world thus offers

STAMP AFFIRMING MACHINES.
In large offices, where thousands OF
letters are sent out every day, some

sort of a stamp-affiXing machine Is a
necessity, and the more accurately and
rapidly it will do it's work the better.
as it is often desired to catch a mail
with batch of letters written late IN
the afternoon. BY the old hand meth
cd of af1ixing the stamps it would re-
quire the whole office force to do the
work, but shown herewith is ma.
chine which the inventor claims will
require next to no attention, the only
aid necessary being a boy to feed the
stamps. If the latter could be had In
long strip instead of ten in a row
the machine would take care OF itself
after once started. The machine Is de.
signed to be run by a small motor OF
other belt power, but it may also be
operated by foot or hand power. The
envelopes are placed in the upright
tube on the right, and are fed across
the intervening space to the rollers by
an endless belt, which is perforated
at intervals, and forms, together with
the rollers and sidewalks, an air cell.
From this cell a tube leads to a sue
ton fan, which. being set In motion
by the starting of the machine, Gre
ates a partial vacuum inside the belt
chamber and thus holds the letters
firmly on the belt by drawing air rap
idly through the perforations. The
stamps are suspended in tray in con
/
which transfers the stamp past th'
moistener and delivers it to the envel
ope at the right instant. Tho machine
is also adapted for the placing Of gum
med labels on envelopes. and may thu!
be utilized as an addressing machine:

Use OF Ice In Brazil.

Consumption of ice in Brazil Is con.
stantly increasing. This is due prin-
cipally to the demand for ice in res
taurants, hotels and other public pla.
ces. Foreigners are most insistent in
their calls for ice. Our consul at San

pany would prove a profitable under.
taking in that place, the use of ice be-
ing practically unknown in the fish

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.
New Spinning Machine.

Some two years ago a resident OF
Boston, Mass, devised new spinning
machine, which he took with him to
Bradford, the center Of the spinning
industry of Great Britain. There, add
ed by local engineers and experts, he
improved his appliance, which is now
in active operation. It is capable of
spinning variety OF materials, such
as asbestos and peat moss, as easily
and readily as wool, and when COM
pleted it is difficult to determine the
original nature Of the fabric.

Clark Brothers Glass Company at Eli
wood City, Pa, which, too, is included
in the combine.
Frank B. Clark, secretary of the Tren-
ton anu Ellwood City plants, was seen
yesterday. He said that opinions had al
ready been promised on the two establish
ments, and a deal would probably be con-

were White and Hamill, and they were
in this city to get a chicken thief
For a long time back the residents of
Asbury Park have had large numbers of
chickens stolen. In February the two
constables found two bags in the woods
back of the Park, containing over thirty
five chickens. They hid nearby and
watched for the return of the thieves.
When the thieves came back, Hamiil
caught one of the men but the, other es-
capped. They located him in Greenville
Hamill and White are both very small
in stature, and if the thief puts up much
of fight when taken they will have to
use all of their pluck to get by. Hamill
said, in talking about arresting the other
man.

SURPRISE FOR ELECTION BOARD.
Certificates Issued to Voters Under
Unusual circumstances.

The members of the County Election
Board were much surprised this morn
ing when it was learned that about thirty
named therein had removed from the
places where they lived at the time of
registration, were filed in the office of
County Clerk Stack. Under the Jaw these
certificates can only be issued by the
local Election Boards to persons who APP
ply for them on election day and prove
that they are entitled to be transferred
to other voting places.
There is a suspicion existing that this
may be a move on the part of the Cen
trails to strengthen it's forces in some sec
ton where they are thought to need it.
On account of the Saturday half-holiday,
the certificates could not be Investigated
before going to press.
The county election board is sitting at
It's office adjoining the Court House this
afternoon for the purpose of registering
those persons residing in the seven towns
Of the county whose names were omitted
from the lists inadvertly or through tenn
porary absence on the regular day of reg
istratlon. All the Union Hill books which
were not produced last Thursday were
filed this morning. but there are four
short in West Hoboken and some of the
other towns.
Up to noon today not a single citizen
from any of the towns had applied to be
registered. The Board will continue in
session until five o'clock this afternoon.
