ensign on the Alaska. He proved the
stuff of which he was made by risking
his life to save seaman who fell over
board from the vessel while she was
cruising off the coast of Spain. Heroic
deeds since that time have won him
a gold medal from the state of New
York, q silver one from the state of
Massachusetts and gold medal from
congress. In November, 1877, when
the United States steamer Huron was
wrecked off Cape Hatteras, he volun-
teered to swim ashore through the
breakers with line, and after having
been in the water for almost seven
hours, during which he made four trips
from the shore to the vessel, he res
cued many of his shipmates and finally
secured assistance which resulted in
the rescue of over 80 men. On that
occasion he sustained injuries which
caused slight permanent lameness.
For his heroism on that occasion his
native state presented him with
sword, and congress enacted special
legislation raising him to the rank of
lieutenant. In 1898 he took promi-
nent part in the stirring events which
followed upon the revolution in Ha-
wall, but at a Fourth of July celebra-
ton shortly afterward he caused the
navy department considerable trouble
by a speech made at Honolulu, in which
he welcomed the Hawaiians into the
fold and expressed delight at our ac-
QUESTION of the islands. While con-
nected with the bureau of records in
Washington he wrote book on the
subject of the Hawaiian islands, which,
when submitted to Secretary Herbert,
was in turn submitted to President
Cleveland, with the result that it was
promptly suppressed.

larynx, capable of speaking in mono

diaphragm answering for the CLOTHS,
and vibrating in monotone as the pa
tient speaks. A metallic grating pre-
vents the ingress of food into the
windpipe and such liquor as is swal-
lowed falls into funnel and drains to
the esophagus.
According to cable dispatches, Great
Britain, more than France, should be
interested in this especial case, with
reference to the reported condition of
King Edwards throat. Chicago ply
sicians are recalling, in connection
with this French case, the death of En-
peror Frederick of Germany when an
artificial larynx was ready for inser-
ton in his throat, but when the judg-
ment of the German doctor Won Berg
mann was overturned by that of Eng
lish Sir Morrill, Mackenzie as to the
necessity of the operation.

became minister of foreign affairs,
and in 1882 he was appointed grand
vizier. This position he held for three
years, when he was succeeded by
Kialnil Pasha. He became grand vizier

the crisis of 1895 was dismissed, and
ordered to resume the portfolio of for

and the emperor died because OF, it.
Now it looks as if that situation might
come home to roost on. the English
throne"
According to DR.. F. Ho.inger, Chi
cago authority on throat troubles,
however, the whole French sensation
is considerably belated and out of date.
''The artificial larynx is nothing
new,' he said, land in the hands of a
surgeon who knows his business little
danger or difficulty attends its use. 1t
has been used since 1870 or earlier by
Prof. Won Bruins and has been much
improved. 1t is an appliance that can
be bought in any weil-regulated in
strument store, but its use is confined
to extreme cases only. tuberculosis
or cancer is the disease which makes
it seemingly necessary, but even then
the use of the artificial ,arynx is avoid
ed through the great improvement in
methods of diagnosis and treatmen Mt of
cases by way of the mouth.
Ceases where the artificial larynx
has been worn for years are not rare.
One of the most remarkable on rec
ord is the case of German officer,
who wore one for 25 years, in this time
giving instruction in horseback riding
and yet making his commands UNDER
stood above the noise of horses hoofs
in the ring.
''Inthe French case, an improvement
seems to have been made in that the
patient is abe to swallow. But the
great disadvantage of all these appli-
ances are the consequences of the pres
sure they exert on the living tissue,
which often lead to sores and scars that
make prolonged use a bore and even
danger to the patient"
In brief, DIR. Holinger's idea is that
in almost any case patient would bet
ter lose his voice than risk an arti-
fetal ,arynx.
Anton A. Frank, Chicago surgical
Instrument dealer, has an artificial
larynx in stock, though he. has never
sold one. It is of solid silver, with a
CLOTHS of the same material inserted.
The mechanism is nearly four inches
long. weighs two ounces, and costs $50.
To wear this the throatis opened just
above the Adams apple, and the cor
rugated end of the larynx is grasped
by the vocal chords. The CLOTHS drops
into the lower tube, which extends
into the windpipe, downward. Breath
ing with such an appliance would be
through an auxiliary tube and the pa
tient to talk, would have to close this
tube with his fingers. The worst fea-
ture of the appliance, to the eye, is
that loop from 1t projects through
the neck above the pomum Adami,
through which lace must be passed
for tying around the neck.

briquetting coal can be successfully

along the way had slight attrac-

behavior during the ride might have
been criticized. Many passing in
