Once aboard the train Harm gton

Change of Names.

1t wa. declared by British Judge
that anyone could assume whatever
name he liked, and the act did not re-
quire royal license. He quoted cases
in point, one being that of a man
named Bugg, who, being displeased
with that appellation, assumed the
name of Norfolk Howard-as a result
of which, added the court, certain in
sects came to be called Norfolk How
ards."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Metals as Fuel.

metal may be burnt for the sake OF
the heat and light they produce, just
as ordinary fuels are burnt" said Prof
Roberts-Austen in a recent discourse
at the Royal institution in London. But
the burning of metals, he proceeded to
show, differs from that of ordinary
fuels, in that the products of combus-
tion are not gaseous but solid. "The
burning of aluminium gives sapphires
and rubies in the place of ashes" An
instance Of burning metal for the sake
of light is furnished by the mag
nesium star" contrivance by which a
shell packed with magnesium and at
tached to a parachute is fred cleo
trically, high in the air, thus produc-
ing an illumination of the ground be-
meath at night. This finds its use in
warfare. Recently aluminium has been
found to be an admirable fuel for pro-
ducing an intense heat to be used in
welding. This kind Of metallic fuel
has assumed much Industrial impor-
tance at Essen, in Germany. where, in
consequence, ''metallurgy enters
upon a new phase."-Youth's Com

It has always been the custom,
when large blood vessels have been
injured during an operation, to ligate
or tie off the vessels. Gangrene, or
death of the tissues, has often re-
suited. DR.. A. Il. Halstead, of Chi
cago, recently opened the auxiliary
artery (the main artery of the arm)
during an operation. Instead of
hgating the artery, DIR. Halstead
merely sewed up the rent in the
vessel wall with minute stitches.
The result was excellent and the
achievement is accepted by surgeons
as a demonstration of what can be
done in this dangerous class of cases.
Hydrocephalus (popularly known
as water on the brain') is being
treated by tapping the skull and
draining off the fluid and filing the
space with sterilized air. The air
is introduced to prevent the loosened
skull bones from collapsing down
upon the brain.

QUEEN TO PRESIDENT.
Desk at White House Has Remark
able History.

Amelia ". Wells in Success.
There is a desk in the private Office
of the president of the United States
which has remarkable history. 1t
represents an exchange of govern
mental felicitations which not only
lena a special interest to it as a piece
of furniture. but recall. at this par
ticular time, many tender memories.
1t occupies position in the center of
the large apartment which the presi-
dent uses as his sanctum sanctorum.
The desk was constructed from the
timbers of the historical Arctic ship
"Resolute," and was presented by
Queen Victoria, through Sir Edward
Thornton, the British minister at that
time, to the president of the United
States, through William NJ. Evarts,
then secretary of state.
This circumstance cannot help but
revive the interest felt in that vessel,
calling to mind a graceful act of this
government. Congress, in 1856, passed
a resolution authorizing her purchase
from the salvOrs, Great Britain hav-
ing relinquished all claim to herr, di-
recting that the vessel be fully re-
paired and equipped at one of our navy
yards. with the request to her males.
tvs government that the United States
be allowed to restore the "Resolute"
10 the service to which she had former
ly belonged. and for which purpose the
sum Of forty thousand dollars was ap-
propriatcd. The formal transfer of the
vessel to the queen Of England took
place on December l6, 1856, at Cowes.
1t may be well to refer to the re-
markable career Of the "Resolute," and
the unique circumstances attending
her rescue by the United States. She
sailed from England i'm 1852, in search
of the missing explorers composing the
party of Sir John Franklin. Having
been frozen up, her officers and crew
We're obliged To abandon her, seeking
refuge on vessels more fortunately sit
uated, which conveyed them in safety
to England.
The vessel, then left to her fate, with
not soul on board to direct her move
ments, drifted a distance Of twelve
hundred miles, and, though hard
pressed by the ice, was, when discov-
cred, on September Is, 1856, by Captain
BuddingtOn, of the American whalcr
George and Henry" found to be
stanch and seaworthy.
The "Resolute" excited so much in
terest throughout England that the
late queen expressed a desire To visit
her. requesting that the ship he taken
to Cowes for that purpose. The ves-
sci, on that occasion, was dressed with
flags, presenting fine appearance;
| and, what proved most pleasing to the
eye, was the spectacle of the American
and English ensigns flying side by side.
The desk sent to the president was
made, by order of the queen, from the
| timbers of this historical vessel, when
| she was broken up.
