Underground Station.
,m the springneId Republican.

An extraordinary piece of engineering Is
begun by the municipality Of Paris, which
will keep the Place de rOpera closed for
nearly year, and when 1t is reopened 1t
will have beneath 1t an underground metro
politan railway station of three floors,
where three several lines will intersect on
the different levels. Metallic flooring will
separate the three lines. and will support
the roadway. The lowest line is 81 meters
deep but as water is reached at depth of
10 meters large part of the work will be
done by means OF compressed air compart-
ments, measuring by 70 meters.

Should be given were supplied plentlfuily
by the advisers.
The "yawning cure" was suggested as an
old-fashioned cure for hiccoughs. The doc-
tors were advised to arrange for number
of the patients friends to visit her The
visitors. according to the prescription,
should arrange themselves about the bed
side. First one should yawn, then an
other. and SO on, until there would be
regular concert of ''gapes." Care should
be taken to make the patient believe that
the yawning is not done according to a pre-
arranged plan.
The success of this prescription depends
upon the influence of the yawns upon the
patient. Judging from experience the anna
teur physician says the patient would
yawn and that yawn would be fatal for the
hiccoughs.
The pistol shot cure is the firing of a
revolver behind the patients ear. The
others depend for their success upon the
ability to make the patient sleeze.
What the doctors did to end the hiccoughs
was to give Miss Morris hypodermic injec-
tons Of hyoscin hsrdrobromate.
DIR. Arthur Dare. who is attending Miss
Norris. said that the girl had rallied under
treatment and has slept for two nights
without hiccoughing.

Fish Commission Powerless.

The fish commission has never paid much
attention to the conditions of the upper Po-

own particular bailiwick, and there was
some embarrassment about interfering with

some action, seemed to be the province of

circumstances. 1t did nothing. This is AN
wrong-right from the commissions stand

One step the commission could take. It
would be little severe on US, but it would
be right; decline to furnish any fish for
unfit waters. Demand with every applica-
ton FOR fish statement OF the environ
ment for which they were intended; to re-
gard with suspicion any waters which had
been depleted as wasting good stock for
lack OF proper care; showing either unfit
water or wanton destruction Of spawning
