CURE FOR BLOOD POISON.
Formalin Used With Good Effect on
Intractable Malady.

From the New York Herald.
The remarkable recovery of the female
colored patient of Bellevue Hospital from
blood poisoning as the result of an intra-
venous injection of formalin will doubtless
be hailed with great satisfaction by the
medical fraternity. So far as one case mag
prove point there appears to be no doubt
regarding the direct relations OF cause and
effect. The alleged remedy needs now only
to be tried and proved in other and similar
conditions Of disease to give 1t a leading
place in the treatment of one Of the most
intractable of human ailments
Puerperal fever in its more serious forms
is almost invariably fatal. From such
point of view the result in question appears
little short of a miracle. most promising
feature in the outlook is the simplicity OF
the measures adopted. Furthermore, the
theory-not new one in itself-is founded
on the rational and Ineligible basis of d.
rectly attacking the primary cause OF trou-
BILE. Heretofore all efforts to apply 1t TO
practice have failed.
Although blood poisoning Is complex

tion, according to the character and degree
OF Infection. It Is initiaiiveiy due 10 Iae
entrance of certain poisonous bacteria into
the circulation. How to Kill these micro
organisms without harming the patient has
always been problem. Hence the pi ssent
departure from the usual course OF treat
ment Is as radical as It seems promising
So far as single trial goes there appears
to be no doubt that the bacteria were act
ually destroyed by the antiseptic, as proves
by meteorological examinations before and
after infection. The patient was eyideruy
dying from septic intoxication due to toxins
secreted by the disease germs. This form
OF chemical poisoning was neutralized evil

that the producing agents were DESTROYED
Such theory Ii reasonable enough under
the circumstances. The only thing thai
now remains Is to prove its application to a
SUFFICIENT number OF other cases.

quite probable that the new remedy Will be

Result Of Autopsy.

Deputy Coroner G.azebrook testified that
he performed an autopsy on the body at the
mcrgue. Witness found three hemorrhages
between the scalp and the skull. There
was no fracture. Witness said the mans
death was due to heart clot following an
attack OF acute pneumonia. There was no
hemorrhage Of the brain, but there was a
softening Of 1t, showing evidences of
meningitis. Witness found evidences of
three distinct wounds of the head, but
could not tell how they had been received.
There was no evidence of sufiicient injury

The American Girl.
ON the woman's Home Companion.

From the Woman's Home Companion.
The American girl Is admired and liked
at home and abroad because she is the
happiest. healthiest and friendliest Of girls
Usually unframed by any self-conscious-
ness. she is not apologetic and morbidly
sensitive, as are many girls brought up In
the close. conventional air of European
civilization. She likes the world, and is
alive to everything beautiful and good in
existence. She is easily pleased. and her
unstudfed. fresh enjoyment OF simple pleas
ures gives happiness to every one around
her By its simple. wholesome expression
through her face, figure and voice.
American girls. when you study them
critically. are not more beautiful than Eng
fish or French girls. but somehow an
American girl always contfives to make
pretty picture of herself. and neither
she nor any one else can explain how she
does It. She Is adaptable to an astonfsh-
ing degree. and she can dress for q walk.
an outdoor game. q dinner or q ball SO
as to make the impression that IN each
particular garb she Is at her best. TINS
power to change her appearance SO as 20
look almost like another person is one or
the American girls chief charms, and she
owes It to her keen appreciation OF the
people and circumstances around her. She
has imagination ana intuition and genius
for fitting herself TO the hour

Geneva and It's Royal Refugees.

Yesterday I met a friend who has Just

Intimate contact with the little group Of

Princess of Saxony he describes as a rather
commonplace-iooking woman and n Giron

has a rather weak face, with a small re-
ceding chin. but he appears to have some
shrewdness. for the conduct Of the crown
princess brother In relinquishing his royal
rank and rights is inexplicabe to him.
There was nothing but flight for him and
the erring princess. but he cannot und sr-
stand why the grand duke should have
behaved in such quixotic fashion. 1t was
quite unnecessary, NJ. Giron contends. for

imperial family, the two cases being entire

CANCER RESEARCH
Some Interesting Facts Regarding It's
Development.


From the London Chronicle
Anything which bears on the subject of
cancer. In relation to It's cause. is of para
mount interest alike to the public and the
medical profession, as well as to biologists
at large. Hence recent pronouncement
concerning cancer in relation to certain
phases of bodily development cannot fail to
be read with attention. Dr. ]. Beard Of the
University Of Edinburgh. In the course of
an address given before the Royal Physical
society OF that city. remarked on the divi-
sion OF the cells. or living units of the ami
NAL body. into two groups, such as Weis-
mann inquired forth. These are first the
ordinary cells comprising the tissues OF the
frame, ana. second, germ cells on which
rests the duty OF reproducing the species
DR.. Beard thinks the two groups OF cells
are distinct from the first. which is rather
surprising. seeing that evolution being pos
tulated all through, a common origin might
be regarded as indicating the real manner
OF their development. Be that as II NAV
Dr. Beard pointed out that germ cells are
known to exhibit certain eccentricit!es of
disposition during the progress of develop
ment Thus they may stray away from
their proper and natural environment and
take up their abode In tissues to which they
are strangers. When these vagrant cells

ELECTRICITY FROM THE SKY.
The Scheme Pronounced as Ridiculous
as It is Absurd.


From the Electrical Review.
We have been asked to comment on the
announcement recently made in the daily
press that a man has invented a method OF
drawing electricity from the outer ether In
unlimited quantities. The apparatus by
which this wonderful feat Is to be per-
formed consists merely OF a metallic cable
stretching upward a distance of 275 miles.
The cable Is made up of several sections OF
different materials. but the reasons for this
construction are not given. The following
sentence gives the inventors explanation
OF how this cable Is to be kept in its posi-
tion, as given In a Chicago paper: "A mass
of matter moving through interplanetary
ether. elongated one thousand times the
length Of its diameter always moves on
path coincident with Its path of elongation
and the weight of such mass Is always
around the elongated centers at right an
giles to its path Of motion and elongation.''
We have tried to grasp the meaning Of
this statement. but have not succeeded. The
newspapers however. explain that the dis
coverer asserts that after a body reach y
. certain height above the earth the actior
OF gravity Is reversed and acts Outwardly,
80 that after projecting this cable to a GER
tain height 1t will be necessary to hold 1t
down rather than to hold 1t up.
To the ordinary technical mind these
statements have no meaning. When We
learned our physics we were taught tina.

space by the attraction of the earth. and

COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP.
Result Of Intermarriage Of South
Carolina Families.

"Tell you a story? Yes will with pleas

tangling the state of affairs that am about

person In our section of the country can,
and will confer a blessing on a much-mar-
ried family" said Charles D. Harris of Co
iumbia. S. c., at the New willard Mr..
Harris settled himself in a comfortable arm
chair, and having provided himself with
pencil and paper that he might put the fea-
lures Of his narrative before his hearer,
told the following story:
1.-THE complications of relationship In a
family already particularly mixed were in
creased last week by the marriage OF Miss
Addie Smith to Fayette Rivers. few
years ago William A. Smith, q wfdower.
married Miss Ella Rivers. A year or two
later Gary Smith. son OF William A., mar
ried Miss Laura Rivers sister of his
fathers wife. Now Fayette Rivers. brother
Of Mrs. w. A. Smith and Mrs. Gary Smith.
has married the daughter OF w. A. Smith
and sister Of Gary Smith.
w. A. Smith has a. son by his second
marriage. and Gary Smith has a daughter.
In ali attempt to solve the problem OF re-
lationship one who Is immune to dizziness
and has never suffered from hallucination
has worked out the relationship after sew
eral nights Of toll to the relieving extent:
''W. A. Smith IL the brothef-in-law of his
own son and daughter. and the father-in-law
OF his wife's brother and sister. He Is the
grandfather Of his niece, the uncle Of his
granddaughter and the great uncle Of his
own son. His youngest SON is the brother
OF his uncle and aunt. and the nephew of
his brother and -sister-in-law. Gary Smith
Is the brother-in-law of his father and the
stepson of his sister. His little daughter 10
the niece of her grandfather. the grand
daughter Of her aunt and the first cousin Of
her uncle.
Mrs. w. A. Smith Is the stepmother of
her brother-fn-law and sister-fn-law and the
mother-in-law Of her sister and brother.
She 10 the grandmother Of her niece and the
aunt of her granddaughter. sShe'is also the
mother Of her sisters brother-in-law and
the sister-in-law OF her sons brother.
This is as far as the poor fellow got In
working out the problem. While the menu
bers OF the family do not appear to be dis
turbed over the Relationship. doubtless they
would be glad to know their exact status.
