CARE OF WOUNDED SAILORS.
Their Position In Naval Battles Il
. Matter of Grave Com
alteration,

The British Medical association was
sitting at Cheltenham recently, and
one day some very interesting facts
were brought forward as to the po-
sition of the wounded in naval bat
ties. Owing to the alterations il,
the structure OF the ships, the old
arran ~ements under which the
wounded were at once carried down
to the cockpit cannot be continued.
and. on the opinion of Fleet Surgeon
c. kirker. the most humane course,
now adopted both by the French
and japanese, is to leave the wound
ed sailors lie where they are until
the action is over and men can be
spared to carry them down in ambu-
lances. which it will take some me-
chanical skill to devise.
A light sleigh on runners of his
own device is now being tested pre-
vious to approval. The wounded are
as safe on deck for a short time as
elsewhere. and modern wounds do
not cause dangerous loss of blood.
1t is essential. however. says the
London Spectator. that each ship
should have an operating room, which
at present is not included in the ac-
cepted designs. 1t appears that the
general health Of sailors in warships
is good. iron being much better than
wood for sanitation. but some i'm
provements are greatly required. and
should be attended to by the admir-
atty at once.

DIFFERENCES In FOGS.
Sea Mist and London Gloom Have
Nothing in CommOn-The Word
Traced Back.

The fog of London and the fog Of the
sea alike discompose traffic, and omnf-
buses and steamships alike have had to
lay to for safety. But while the Lon

The word fog" says the New York
Commercial Advertiser. has not been
traced farther back than the sixteenth
century, but the thing was known in
the early years Of the fourteenth. The
commons. with the prelates and mobiles
visiting London for the parl.aments
and on other occasions, united to petit
ton Edward I. to compel the burning
only of dry wood and charcoal, as the
growing use of sea coal corrupted the
air with it's stink and smoke, to the
great prejudice and detriment of
health. In 1906 the king prohibited the
use of coal; heavy ransom and fines
were inflicted for disobedience: in the
case of recalcitrant brewers, dyere arr
other artificers the furnaces ard kilrs
were destroyed. But the restrict'or
was evidently removed. for IN 1905

THE EARTH's INTERIOR HEAT.

The stored energy Of the heat of
the earth's interior is beyond power Of
calculation and some net entirely ua-

the surface the tempera ,ure Increases
downward at an average rate which in
dicates that at depth Of so miles il
is not less than 5000 degrees Fahren-

believing that the earth is an intense

COULD NOT CASH CHECK.
The Combined Wealth Of the Porto
Rican Town Was Unable
TO Meet 1t.

AS illustrating the scarcity Of money
in Porto Rico it is related that when
q government check for S2,049 arrived
in Manati a few days ago in pay
ment of the towns excise collections
for the preceding month it caused a
genuine sensation. says the Army and
Navy Journal. The city employees and
their immediate army Of creditors
commenced to parade in front Of the
mayor. who stood up holding the check
so that all might see. Two thousand
and forty-nine dollars! The mayor
told the people that the check could
not be cashed, as there was not money
enough in the whole town, not even
If all the business houses combined for
the purpose of cashingit. He then told
them that they had to wait for their
money until some one could go to San
Juan to cash the check.
The mayor, envied by all. became
tired from holding the check in the
air, folded it, placed it in a cigarette
box. wound it with red tape and locked

MOUNTAIN LIONS AID HERDERs
They Feed on Wild Colts and Leave
sheep and Calves of Stock
men Alone.

Mountain lions are assisting the
stockmen of southern Utah in reduc-
ing the herds of wild horses which
roam the ranges. writes the Denver
correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean. 1t is reported that the lions
have considerably diminished the
herds by devouring the colts.
Young colts seem TO be choice
morsels for the wild beasts, and it
is said that not over so colts es-
capped the lions this season on the
Boulder, Thousand Lakes and Fish
Lake mountains. The lions seem to
prefer the colts to lambs and calves.
and since there have been a great
many colts born on the ranges dur
ing the last few years the beasts of
prey have almost ceased to molest
offspring of sheep and cattle.
AS the lions are not much hunted
and have ready access to choice
food they have been increasing in
numbers rapidly and threaten to be-
come a great menace to ssockmen,
especially when the wild horses be-

Transporting GentlewOMen en-,

The subject of emigration for gentle
women is attracting an increasing
amount Of attention throughout the
British empire, both in the mother
land, where the surplus and unem-
ployed woman is a serious problem,
and in the colonies. where these same
women are sorely needed, says the
New York Tribune. 1t is said this is
partly the result of the Boer war. The
intense patriotism of the Beers and
their faith in their cause is generally
attributed to the lessons learned at
home from the women. A life in the
wilderness might not be regarded as
alluring, but there are compensations
for while the average woman in the
older countries is an unapprecia be

was one-eighteenth of a penny per

between the cost of transit by this line

MEASURED PLANET MERCURY
Warrington Finds Its Diameter
to Be 2,65S Miles.

DIR. See, of the United States naval
observatory in Washington, has just
concluded measurement of the
planet Mercury with the large tel
escope of that institution. Its diam

See calls attention to the fact that
he has never observed any marked
spots on the planets disk. not even
VIXEN the sky was absolutely pure
and the image of the planet perfect

escope His observation also is that
there is no diminution Of brightness
at the edges Of the disk, such as
would be produced by an absorbing
atmosphere. Although these results
agree in general with those obtained
at the Lick observatory. they dis
agree with those CT Schiajarelli and

EnRlish-Irieh Dialect.

An expression which English writers
frequently put into the mouths of
their Irish peasants is "By jabers."
says the Academy. I have lived the
greater part of my life in Ireland, both
in the north and south. but have never
heard it. "Bedad!" and Begor!" are
quite common. but not "By jabers."
1t would be advisa BILE for English writ
ers to leave the Irish dialect severely
alone, for they are sure to come to
grief when they try to represent it.
They generally produce an impossible
jargon. built after tho conventional

ORIGIN OF ABSINTHE.
II Was First n Harmless Medical

Physfcian.

recently much surprised at the discov-

he was living as re fugee a Couvet. IN
Switzerland, at the close of the EIGHT
eenth century. Like many other coun-
try doctors at that time. he was also
a druggist, and his favorite remedy
was certain elixir OF absinthe. of
which he alone had the secret.
At his death he bequeathed the for
mula to his housekeeper, Mile Grand
pierre, and she sold IT to the daugh-
ters of Lieut.. Henriod. They culti-
vateo in their little garden the herbs
necessary for concocting it, and, after
they had distilled a certain quantity
of the liquid they sold it on commits
sion to itinerant peddlArs. who quick

and villages.
Finally. during the first decade Of
the nineteenth century, a wealthy dis
tiller purchased the formula. and very
soon afterward he placed on the mar
ket the modern absinthe. which diff

cohol and very little ahsinthe.

New Seasickncss Remedy.

Prot. Heinz, of the University OF

an infa.lible and very simple anti

Intervals" he says, "and you will never

son, he explains, is because the ini-
tial cause of seasickness is TO be found
in a lobe of the brain, the sensitiveness
of which reacts on the stomach. and
that when fresh air is bre athed at fire.
Quent intervals the blood becomes
charged with oxygen and thus the Of
Tending lobe loses it's sensitiveness.
He adds that be has made severa. ex-
periments on himself for the purpose
of proving the efficacy of this novel
remedy, and has a,so completely cured

antidote costs nothing and can be test
