AppRoAcH or DISEASE.
May Now Be ForetOld by the Condition
of the Blood.

Nay Now Be Foretold by tho Condition
of the Blood.
DR.. II. l.. Watkins calls attention
to the remarkable revolution which
appears imminent in the ordinary
forms of medical treatment of the
DAY. II is now possible to foretellthe
approach of many subtle diseases
months before the ordinary symp-
toms appear. The blood gives un.
mistakable signs of the approach of
disease, and all the pathologist needs
to read its warnings is microscope.
By doing this systematically doctors
will be able 10 detect the disease in
its premonitory stages, and have an
infinitely better chance of arresting
or curing it than if it had time to de-
velop. Consumption can now be sus-
pected from the appearance of the
blood year or more before any cough
sets in. AT this early stage the blood
is seen to contain number of small
gray granules which float around in
the liquor of the blood. Collecting in
patches, they presently develop into
red cells and pervade the lung tissue,
forming tubercles. These cells form
the feeding ground of the familiar
bacilli of consumption. The symp-
tom of the incipient stages of apo
plexy is the appearance of a long line
or rift sharply dividing the blood
corpuscles. Should this line be
sharply defined fatal stroke ofpar-
alysis is probably near at hand, but
otherwise there is no immediate
danger. Although this indication
can be often observed before there is
any other sign of the disease, it is not
entirely reliable. A very curious har-
binger of paralysis is the web feet in
the blood. The presence of these in
large number shows that the heart
is not strong enough to pump the
blood properly. When the blood is
in this state i'll marked degree the
red corpusclcs often appear to be
entangled in mass of web. Their
tendency then is to clog the muscular
veins, or those of the heart. The clog
ging of the heart veins is followed by
paralysis, while if the veins of the
brain are INSTRUCTED paralysis of the
limbs is to be expected. The pres
ence of certain other eXtraneous mat
ter in the blood leads to rheumatism
of the heart and the rupture of blood
vessels. When this matter accumu-
latcs beyond certain degree it pro-
duces convulsion of pain in passing
the heart, and tends TO stop the ac
ton of that vigorous organ. Blood
of this kind may often be diagnosed
when seen under the microscope.

MULT1pLEx TELEGRApHY.
New Rowland System Will Greatly In

New Rowland System Will Greatly In
crease Capacity of Lines.
The Rowland multiplex printing
telegraph has come we'll out of some
tests recently instituted between Phil
adelphia and Jersey City. The mes
sages are printed on tape, or page
like that used on the typewriter. ex
ccpt that i'll the latter case an endless
roll is employed. The sending ma
chine has series of keys, arranged
as in the typewriter. A message can
be sent at the rate of 40 words min
ute, although a speed of 60 words a
minute has been made by. an expert.
This machine is part of system in,
vented by Prof. Rowland, including
method of relay1ng by which the
whole country cam covered without
trouble. BY this system eight brokers
in another city can each be in COM
munication with one of eight brokers
in another city over one wire between
the cities, in such a manner that the
communication is perfectly secret.
Prof. ROwland's system is claimed to
give n large increase in the capacity
of telegraph lines, which are thus en-
abled to do two or three times the
business they can now cover between
the main points by means of the
quadruplex, and four times that by
the duplex. Only a sender is needed
instead Of sender and receiver, as in
the Morse system. Any typewriter
can learn to send 35 or 40 words a
minute with a weeks or months prac-
tice, according to brightness. 1t en-
tirely does away with that curse of
telegraphers, writer's cramp. Hither-

of developing this disease, often cures

stantly out of order, and it works at

THE POINTS OF 4 CAT.
what to Look For When Choosing
Your Pet.

IOuI EGls
A good cat-the kind you want to
have in the house, if any-will have
round, stubby, pug nose, full, fat
cheeks and upper lip; well developed
bump on top of the head between the
ears, betokening good nature. A
sleepy cat that purrS good deal is apt
to be playful and good natured.
BY all means TO be avoided is cat
with thin, sharp nose and twitohing
cars. It must be remembered also
that a good mouser is not necessarily
q gentle or desirable pet. Although
any good cat will catch mice if she is
not overfed, quick, full, expressive
eyes generally betoken housing cat.
= The greatest mistakc-and prob
ably the most common one-in the
care of domestic cats is overlooking,
particularly too much meat. In the
wild life cat has exercise which en-
ables her to digest food. In the lazy
house life the same full feeding leads
