Photographing the stomach.

Two English physicians have succeeded
In taking photographs OF mucous mem
brane OF the stomach in the living subject.
stomach tube sixty-six centimeters
long, with diameter of eleven millime-
tiers, is introduced, having at the lower
end an electric lamp and at the upper end
a camera. Tue stomach is first emptied
and washed and then distended with air.
Then fifty pictures can be taken in
rapid succession in from ten to fifteen
minutes. BY turning the apparatue on
its axis, all parts of the mucous mem
brane can be pictured. The photographs
are about the size Of a cherry stone, but
OF course they can be enlarged to any ex-
tent.

LIQUOR THAT BLINDS.
Jamaica Ginger Robs Drinkers OF
Their Eyesight.

One and possibly two wholesale
druggists of this city will, it is said, be
made defendants in prosecution that
will cause tremendous sensation, not
only in Baltimore, but throughout the
United States, and will prove OF unus-
ual interest to the oculist word, says
tie Baltimore Sun.
The charge, which will in general
sense be the using of dangerous adul-
terant In the manufacture of Jamaica
ginger" will contain the specific decla-
ration that by substituting methyl or
wood alcohol for ethyl (pure) alcohol
many persons have been stricken blind.
: In certain local option towns OF
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia an d
Pennsylvania Jamaica ginger is used
by tobers and victims of alcoholism in
lieu Of whiskey or other stimulants. 1t
IS always easy to get Jamaica ginger in
country towns, and it is said that OF
late its consumption has grown to
alarming proportions.
Jamaica ginger properly manufac.-
ured-that is, with pure ALCOHOLICS
said to be practically harmless. But
pure alcohol costs $2.45 per gallon.
The manufacturer in substituting wo, d
alcohol, at a cost Of from IS to 80 cents
per gallon, thus enormouly increases
his profits.
The discovery that the use of wood
alcohol causes total blindness has
aroused the medical profession and the
inquiry set on foot to discover who was
responsible for using the cheap adulte-
rant in the ginger led to piling up
proof against two firms in this city. 1t
is said that the investigators have Sc
cured, under legal advice, the kind of
proof that will be accepted by Judge
and jury.

MOB BURNS a NEGRO.
Indiana School Teachers Murder Is
Thus Avenged.

George Ward, negro, was dragged
through the streets OF Terre Haute,
Ind, Tuesday with rope around his
heck and swung from bridge span
ming the Wabash river by mob. he
as then drawn back and cremated.
Miss Ida Finklostine, school teach
or, was shot and her throat was cut by
an unknown negro. Several arrests
were made, and after being fully identi-
fed by two men Ward name a con-
fession. His only excuse for the MUIR
der was that Miss Flnklestin, called
him "dirty niger" and slapped him
in the face.
A few bours after his arrest an angry
mob battered down the doors of the
Jail, dragged the prisoner to the bridge
and hanged him. Not content with
the hanging, the crowd cut the body
down, klndled fire and cremated the
remains.
Souvenir-hunters were on hand in
force and fragments of the body were
scattered broadcast. One man, while
the feet still protruded from the flames,
offered 81 for toe from "the nigger's
foot" A We. .resome youth, drawing
knife from his pocket, made a dash
for the prize. He quickly amputated
toe, delivered the goods aud got his
money. As the bones began to crnm-
BILE and fall apart the fragments were
drawn from the fire and carried away.
At 3 o'clock there was nothing left OF
the body except small section OF the
trunk and the back part OF The head.
Busy hands kept the burning fagots
piled upon the roasting segment.
Women went to the scene by scores
and elbowed their way into the inner
circle Of spectators uudsterred and APP
parently unmoved by the horror of the
spectacle.
No attempt at disguise was made by
any member of the mob, and as public
sentiment upholds the lynching, no
prosecutions are expected.

Like most boys do, Louis writes to his

ELIJAH'S INTERVIEW.
BY THOMAS CAMPBELL.

On Horeb's rock the prophet stood
The Lord before him passed,
A hurricane, in angry mood,
Swept by him strong and fast.
The forest fell before its force,
TIE rocks were shivored in It's course.
God was not in the blast
Twas but the whirlwind of His breath
Announcing, danger, wreck and death.
1t ceased. The air grew mute-a cloud
Came muffling up the sun;
When through the mountains, deep
aud loud
An earthquake thunder'd on,
The frightened eagle sprang in air
The wolf ran bowling from his liar.
Gcd was no. in the storm.
Twas but the rolling of his car
The trampling of bis steeds from far.
Twas still again; and nature stood
And Gained her ruffied frame;
When swift from heaven, fiery flood
To earth deyouring came.
Down to the depth the ocean fled
The sickening sun looked wan and
dead
Yet God filed not the flame.
Twas but the terror of His eye,
That Gghtened through the troubled
sky.
At last voice, all still and small,
Rose sweetly on the ear,
Yet rose so shrill and clear that all
In heaven and earth might hear.
1t spoke OF peace-it spoke OF love
1t spoke as angles speak above
And God himself was there.
Eut o, it was fathers voce,
That babe the trembling rejoice.

This novel arrangement was duet an
almost general quarantine because OF

closing of schools aud the prohibition
of all public assemblies. The Baptist
pastor, Rev. G. s. Northrup, arranged
with the telephone company for unin-
terrupted use of the lines, which he
needed during the hours ordinarily
passed in church. The pastor and the
