OOctOr0' "Cat Maps"
The ''cat maps" INDUCED in by the
late DR.. William Pepper constituted a
standing joke among his intimate
friends. He had the faculty of going
to sleep ut will and waking up when he
willed. He would sometimes when I'M
der mental strain keep roomful Of
patients waiting while he slept soundly
in his private Office for three minutes
or five minutes. or as long as he wish
ed. Then he would resume his duties,
greatly refreshed.
Another prominent physician has O
queer habit, Of mapping, although he
only takes one day and that directly
after luncheon, which with him is a
hearty meal. He repairs to his Office
and throws himself in chair at o.
point where the polished wood door ia
not covered by the rug. He holds a
bunch Of keys between the forefnger
and thumb Of his right hand. which is
allowed to hang loosely over the arm of
the chair. Then he dozes of. but it is
never more than a doze, for the mo-
ment his fingers relax the keys drop to

the law, which abolished the can.
teen, repealed at the next session
of congress. Statistics will be
padded and everything that will
detract from the law will be
brought forward to be used as a

bend that the military surgeons
will be disappointed in their eff
forts. It is getting to be nova
days that whiskey is the stand
ard drug in the medical profess
sion and no matter how trivial
the sickness, like Sarsaparilla,
will cure anything but the jim
jams. The sooner the medical
profession lifts itself to a higher
plane than endorsing saloons the
more respect it will get from the
the public at large. The canteen
is nothing more or less than a
legalized saloon and is a disgrace
to the nation. If army post Of
ficers and surgeons exercise
their authority in the proper
way the adjustment of the can.

The next congress will have a
hot fight and the friends of

will be on hand in force to see
that their interests are looked
after.

The governor of South Caro-
lima has made one grave mistake
since he was inaugurated and
that was when he refused to &C.
cept the designations of Senators
Tillman and McLaurin when
they were handed to him. These
two senators are keeping things
in that state, politically, to a boil
ing point, all the time, as we'll as

pointed two good men to the

would have had plenty of time to
cool off.

1t is said that the editor of
Minot Optic has come out in an
editorial declaring in favor Of
the prohibitory law. If this is
so the Courier editor congratu-
lates the Optic editor on gaining
his second sight, for he has
been the most bitter opponent of
prohibition in the state of North
Dakota and has used the columns
of his paper week after week in
ridiculing those who are in favor
of the law and the law itself.
Prohibitionists, like any other
class of citizens, may carry their
views to extremes in some cases,
and they very often do, but they
do not do so any more than the
ball crank, the horse crank and
a whole category of cranks of all
descriptions. Those who lived
in this state before prohibition
went into effect must certainly
admit that our towns and villages
are cleaner and better now than
under a saloon regime and the
morals of our communities are
on a higher plane. Not only that
but money that would have gone
into the saloon keepers pocket
have been kept and put into
clothing and food for families
who would otherwise have suf-
fered. The saloon has gone for
good in this state.

ST. PAUL's LIGHTNING RODS,
TAe Great London Cathedral h Now Thoroughly Protected from
 Storms.

A total encouragement of the syn- tenn of lightning conductors on St. PauFs cathedral. London, is now vir- tually complete It is interesting to learn from the electrician under whose superintendence the work has been carried out that the old idea of the erection of lightning rod on the highest point of structure protect ed an area all round it is quite it. lusory. The safeguarded area was supposed to be the space within a circle whose radius was equal to the height of the lightning rod. This theory, we understand. is now dis credited, says a London paper, and the cathedral hes been protected by a system of conductors, perpendicular and horizontal, comprising over a mile of cables, on which at various prominent points are placed about 50 "aigrettes"-groups of solid copper spikes radiating upward and effectual- ly connected at the base with cables.
 The old system of joint-maling by
 junction pieces" or splicing and sol dering, has also been abandoned, it having been found that if surfaces were merely screwed together they were apt to oxidize and set up resist ance, and if they were soldered the soldering sooner or later would be very likely to become loosened and detached by the natural expansion and contraction of the metals.
 A new method of running to earth has also been adopted. The usual plan is to connect the conductors with plates of copper imbedded deep down in the moist earth. and these plates, to be effective, must be of con- siderable size. It is often difficult to get them down low enough. At St. PauPs cathedral they have made earth connection by means of iron pipes perforated at the bottom and driven into the ground by special tackle, thus affording passage down which the conductor is passed to the neces- sary depth and by means of which, if necessary, the earth below may be watered. The whole work has been carried out by the cathedral sur veyor's staff under the personal su- of the electrician
