Discovery of Human Skeleton by

Discovery of Human Skeleton by
Workmen Near Mentone. France.
The grottoes of Boausse- Rouse, near
Mentone, in France, are now being ex-
plored for prehistoric remains under
the direction Of the Prince of Monaco,
writes the Paris correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press. M. de Villeneuve
has been carrying on the excavations,
which have yielded some interesting
finds, especially of fossil9human re-
mains.
The chief discovery so far has been a
human fossil of a new type. At TWEEN
ty-one feet was found a complete skel-
eton and two feet lower the last burial
place, containing two bodies. The sub
1ect found at twenty-one feet is a man
Of great height, feet inches. The
skull has been reconstructed. The ia
cial part is very low and well developed
in length. This individual has the char
acteristics of the race known as Gro
Magnon. The two skeletons found at
twenty-three feet present great inter-
est. as they are of the negroid type.

Mccarthy is a popular historical au-
thor whose works have sold largely in
England and America, one of the prom

The fact is that for the past five years
Mr.. Mccarthy has been almost blind
and works under great difficulty, which
would be even greater were it not for
the devotion of his daughter. with
whom he lives.
Furthermore, he has always been
open handed and generous to a fault
and in his old age has been somewhat
straitened on that account. He is now
in his seventy-third year and, in addi-
lion to his histories. has written q num-
Der of novels At the age of eighteen

later into politics, finally entering par
lament in 1879. Seven years ago he
retired from public life and has since
devoted himself entirely to literature.

VICTIMS OF X RAYS.
Experiences of Two Surgeons of the
London Hospital.

The New York Herald publishes the
following from its London correspond
emit:
Mr.. Edison is not the only person
to suffer from the mysterious power
of the Roentgen rays. Two physicians
in the photograph department Of the
London hospital have fallen victims TO
its baneful influence, with the result
that they had to take an enforced
holiday and that the use of the rays
for direct examination Of injuries has
been abandoned.
The rays are now employed to take
the photographs from which the sur
geon works, thus avoiding the neces-
sity Of manipulating limb while tie
rays are actually playing on it. Gloves
with lead foil sewed into the back
were tried, but they were found 70
impede the hands to such an extent
that they were discarded.
Mr.. Wilson, one of the two moa WHO
used to make the direct examinations.
with the rays at the hospital explained
that he had not done this class 81 work
for the last eighteen months, yet his
hands showed but little signs of i'm
proving Hot fomentat tons were still
necessary, and it is practically certain
that his finger nails will never grow
properly again. The first symptom of
K ray poisoning is a troublesome in
fammation Of the hands, accompanied
by swellings resembling chilblains, de-
preston of spirits and insomnia.
The nails, too, are affected, ridge
forming down the centers in which pus
is generated. After the matter has
been removed the nail seems partially
to perish, the injury to the matrix i'm
pairing the future growth. The trOu
BILE is chiefly noticeable in the finger
tips, decreasing toward the wrist, but
slight evidences are generally to be
found on most parts of the body.
The eyes, too, are apt to suffer from
the ray flicker Regarded pathological
", the results of the y rays seem TO
be cumulative, being up to a certain
point highly beneficial and beyond that
the reverse.

\ PhenOminal Increase,

Notwithstanding the new facilities for manufacturing that had been added. in the last year, by the American Graphophone Company, of which the Columbia Monograph company is the sole sales agent, on account of the tre- mendousiy increased autumn and win ter demand for It's goods, 1t has been decided to add, immediately, another story to two of it's buildings to provide the required space for more machinery and more workmen. Every available foot of room in the great buildings in which the manufacture of graphC- phones and records is carried on, at Bridgeport, Conn.,, has already been utilized and the plant is running both day and night.
 In other years it has sometimes been necessary to run at night, in anticipa. tion of the holiday trade, but not until this year has the demand for goods. thus early in the season, been so press ing as to call fo: night work and this in spite of the erection of an entirely new building hich went into commis- sion in January last, the instala- tion of additional machinery and the employment of as many people as can possibly be used in the several build ings in which the work of graphophone and record manufacture-both disc and cyinder-is conducted.

She was rescued at once by George Davis, the colered man about the house, and Mir.
