building during the national encamp-
ment In October.
The house spent Wednesday debat-
ing the bill to increase the subsidiary
coinage by coming the silver bullion
in the treasury and to recoin stand
ard silver dollars as the public neces-
stiles may require. The limit OF SUB
sidlary coinage Is now 100000. 600.
The bill increases this 10 an inden-
mite amount in the discretion OF the
secretary OF the treasury. The Dill
aroused the opposition OF the Demo
Gratis. who claimed IL was only step

Earth treatment has entered into
very large number Of diseases from
time immemorial. 1t Is certain that
some earths have peculiar curative
properties. Hence the mud baths, mar
BILE baths and sand baths for various
ills of the flesh.
But regarding the particular case in
point, 1 do not think that the earth
burial had anything to do with the re-
covery Of the child. In the first place.
the electric spark having struck and
passed through its body did not leave
that body charged with electricity.
The child lost consciousness from shock
and when buried was probably in
trance condition. Its feturn to con-
seriousness was due to other causes
than the burial.
But the use of earth for reducing
swellings in cancer cases, in securing
equable pressure around wounds and
for poulticing Is now common in medi-
cine. The original earth poultice man
in this city was DR.. Hewson, who some
twenty or thirty years ago was very
successful in his applications of earth
poultices. To be sure, he was "crank"
about some of his treatment, for he in
sisted that his poultices should be COW
= cred with blue paper But to this day
earth poultices are used after his form
ula with great success.

The only case of moon blindness, or
'moon blink" that has ever come un-
der my immediate attention was dur
ing one of my clinics at the University
of Pennsylvania. A woman was
brought to me by two hucksters. She
said that few nights before she had
been sitting on her doorstep In the
moonlight and that she had fallen into
a doze When she awakened she said
that she found that she was blind.
"Moon blink she claimed had set in
and she had to be led around like
child.
I examined her eyes and found that
the Iris and pupil reacted to the light,
but to my repeated questions she said
that she could not see or detect the
presence of light. Accordingly l put
pair of speculums on her eyes, which
prevented her closing the lids and
turned her face full into the glare of
the western sun. A blind person would
not have been at all inconvenience
by this treatment. But the moment
the suns rays attacked this womans
eyes she became restless. Finally she
burst into a scream Of profanity the
like of which 1 never heard, and tear
ing off the speculums she bolted for
the door and out into the street COM
pletely cured woman.
1 judged from this and from other
observations that moon blink is

GRANITE FLOWS LIKE WATER;
STEEL RAILS WELDED IN - TWINHLING

derful invention was discovered, ac-
cording to the scientist seen yester-
day:
"The first demonstration of this
new agent in America was made early
in May, when certain processes were
exhibited before the Columbia Univer-
s1ty Chemical society. The invention,
like many others for which we are in
debted to the chemist, originated in
Germany. Some time ago the Messrs
krupp, the celebrated gun and armor
plate manufacturers, of Essen, reuuir-
ed considerable quantity of pure me-
tall1c chromium, the metal much en-
ployed to give extra hardness to steel
How 1t Was Discovered.
"It is comparatively easy to pro-
duce this metal, but it is not usual!
pure, and it contains a considerable
quantity of carbon. To obtain it per-
fectly pure was difficult, and 1t was
once thought impossible to manufac-
ture it on a large scale. The task of
filling Krupp's orders fortunately fell
to a skilled chemist-Dr. Hans Gold
schmidt. He saw the necessity of in
venting process of production to fit
this particular case.
''Now, it had been known for many
years that if an intimate (complete)
mixture of aluminium filings and the
oxide of chromium were heated in
furnace a violent explosion would fol-
low, owing to the great intensity of
the chemical action brought about, but
precisely how no one knew, as the ex-
plosion was so violent as to empty the
crucibles, and scatter their contents
far and wide.
DIR. Goldschmidt was ingenious and
persisted. He argued that, in such cases
metallic chromium must be found; also
that the explosion was due to the too
sudden heating of the furnace. He
was sure that if the reaction could
be made more regular the chromium
would be saved.
Gould he but start the chemical re-
action at one little point in the mass,
it would proceed more gently and itself
produce heat sufficient for its compile
ton. 1t was, in fact, the case of a
loaded railway car at rest on an in
cline. A little push would send 1t

SINGLE RAIL TROLLEY R0hDS

the installation Of rapid transit facili-
ties between small towns or in the
country is the great cost of the power
house to generate and distribute the
electricity, the laying of double track
and the cost Of maintenance. Mr..
Tunis declares that by his system he
can lay two tracks-so that If one be-
comes obstructed the car can be
switched over to the other-and the
trusses or bents which guide his car
for just one-half of the cost Of trolley
line.
AS each car is propelled with its own
motor power the great expense of
power house is not only eliminated, but
the system is not in danger OF being
paralyzed by a breakdown in the cen
trail station. Each car with Its trailer
is absolutely independent of every
thing save itself.
The single rail is laid just like the
tracks of the ordinary steam rail. Over
it, at fixed distances are bents or truss
es supporting the guides which keep
the car always in an upright position.
The car can be built of any length re-
quired. In the forward end is the en-
CINE, supplied by gasoline oil or steam
power.
The experimental road which Mr..
Tunis has built and over which he is
now sending a rudely constructed car
at frequent intervals is two thousand
feet long. Here the trusses are of
timber, but steel or iron will be used
in actual equipment. The car is nice
ly balanced on the single rail, the
wheels being of the grooved pattern.
The centrifugal motion Of the car on
curves is provided for in the slant of
the trusses.
A compact four-hors power engine
in the car.With coal oil fuel that costs
ten cents an hour, is sufficient to drive
the big car at a fifteen mile per hour
rate. A sixteen horsepower engine
will give, Mr.. Tunis declares, speed
of sixty miles an hour on a forty-foot
car and trailer filled with people, and
at cost Of forty cents per hour.

WILKESBARRE.-L struck
the house of John Hudock, a Russian,
several days ago. 1t passed down the
chimney and struck child in cradle,
running down its body from the right
shoulder to the left hip and then down
the leg and across the right foot, burn
ing the flesh all the way. When the
parents rushed to the cradle the child
showed no signs Of life.
Neighbors fiocked in, and as soon as
it could be done grave two feet deep
was made. The child, stripped of all
clothing, was covered with earth, it's
head being left free. The rain poured
down, but the crowd stood about the
grave, praying.
Half an hour later DR.. E. M. Davis
reached the place and found the child
conscious and suffering very little. 1t
was taken to the hospital and is likely
to recover.
The theory of the Russians is that
the earth absorbs the electricity from
the body.

PROVIDENCE, r. I,-After an ILL
ness of two years, Miss Leonie Jodoin,
20 years old, has died at her home in
Jericho, r. I. A part of this time was
spent as novice in the Roman Catho-
lie convent at Flushing, L. l., which she
was forced to leave on account of ill
health.
The case had baff1ed New York and
Rhode Island physicians and a post
norton examination was required to
clear up the mystery. At first hemor-
rhages were frequent, and Miss Jodoin
had been treated for consumption. Sew
eral months ago hard lump was de-
tected In her stomach, and an opera
ton disclosed common sewing needle,
one and half inches long, which was
removed. This operation gave her
great relief and recovery seemed GER
tain until recently, when the old pains
returned.
The post mortem examination re-
vealed, piercing the outer envelope of
the heart, steel hat pin, four and one
fourth inches long, without head and
in the stomach another headlesS hat
pin, one, one and one-half inches long.
Miss Jodoin never gave any eXplana-
ton of how the needle got in her stom-
ach, and DR.. G. E. Chagnon, the family
physician, expressed the opinion that
while in a fit of hysteria Miss Jodoin
forced the hat pins into her body.
BY Dr.. Howard chiIds Carpenter.
Hysterical persons as rule do not
injure themselves purposely. When
they, do hurt themselves, it is generally
to secure sympathy and excite COM
passion. When they throw themselves
about and fall they choose soft spot,
such as sofa or a bed or pile Of
rugs. Even in their hysteria they do
not deliberately plan personal dam
age of any kind So, in the case Of
Miss Jodoin hysteria may be eliminated
as a cause for the self-inficted wounds.
Her using pins in the way that she
did has the appearance Of dementia
rather than anything else. Demented
persons might stab themselves in the
manner described and then keep secret
the cause of their suffering. Regard
ing the pin which pierced the outer
covering of the heart, / am inclined to
believe that it was the immediate cause
of her death.
Bullets have been known to penetrate
the heart, and the wounded person to
recover. But it Is different where
rigid instrument pierces the sack of
the heart. In that case the muscular
movements of the organ would tear
the wound larger and larger, and would
set up Inflammation which would soon
cause death.

According to high authority it is

1.-THE human mind" says a New York
scientist, "can form no appreciative
conception of what such a tempera-
ture means. 1t would melt the most
refractory rocks and cause them to
flow like water"
The interior of Mont Pelee, whose
fiery blast destroyed st. Pierre in a
moment and crumbled it's buildings
into dust, would be cool compared with
this temperature of 5,40O degrees. 1t
would melt the White Mountains into
rivers of liquid fire. Nothing could
Withstand its consuming power.

the scientist yesterday, but it can be

ing and welding masses of iron and
steel. 1t is equally valuable for pro-
ducing hitherto rare and costly metals
in state of almost absolute purity"

force? The answer seems incredible as
