- the appendicitis dinner" given the
sther night by Miss Emily Rosenstirn
at Ban Francisco, says the New York
Herald.
All those invited had been operated
upon for appendicitis, but no hint was
dropped beforehand that this fact had
aught to DO with the assembly. Not
until they entered the dining room did
the guests become aware Of the partic-
ular tie that made them all akin.
The table was decorated with a sug-
gesttOn Of the experience which had
been the lot Of all present to undergo
at some time. Upon miniature
equipped opera ting table, which held
the center Of the board lay blond
haired doll, sheet enBhrouded. All the
appliances for an operation for appen-
dicitis were at her side. With his little
wax hand upon her little wax pulse
stood doll In the white cap and uni
form Of a surgeon. Near by was q
small stand. on which were placed cot

surgical instruments. Little rubber
tubes ran to the chandelier, where were
fastened hot water bags scarcely an

cttis were seated. there was much mer-
riment, mingled with amused exclama.

GIANT SUBMARINE BOAT.
Frsnos - Baild One With Four Tor.
DeAo Tubes-Cost. s2oO.OOO.

Frsnos T. Build One With Four Tor.
DeAo Tubes-Cost, $3.50, 600.
The French ministry Of marine has
just announced that the construction
Of a submersible Qarge submarine
boat, the dimensions of which will
surpass those Of all the submarines
which have been turned out or are BE-
ing built In France, will be begun this
year, says the New York Times.
Hitherto the largest submarine, the
Gustave Zede, had a displacement Of
PES tons, but that of the new boat will
exceed $50 tons when 1t is under the
water. 1t Is to be 40 meters in length,
4 1-5 meters in breadth, and its draft
Of water will be about 2% meters. The
craft Will be provided with a single
screw, and 1t is expected to sail ON the
surface Of the sea at the rate Of eleven
knots. 1t is to have four torpedo tubes,
and the cost Of Its construction is est.
mated at $25O.OOO, or one-third moro
than the price Of the most expensive
submarine hitherto built.
1t Is added that the problem of craft
of this category IL now definitely
solved. The submarine is only to be
regarded as purely defensive, whereas
the submersible which Is about to be-
constructed will, it is thought. be able
to attempt an attack on the enemy's
ports and also to cruise along the COM
mercial routes. 1t Is expected that 1t
will be completed in about two years.

Big TRACTION PROJECT
Unique Scheme to Improve
Beach at Atlantic City.
ELECTRIC LINE ON OCEAN FRONT.

Syndicate Proposes to Build New
Board Walk, With Trolleys UAAer-
nenth-It VIII be Ten Miles Lsag.
New Promenade to Extend, when
Finished, From the Inlet to Long
port.
The most ambitious scheme for the
development Of a seaside resort ever at
tempted, In the United States at least,
Is taking shape at Atlantic City, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch. 1t Is backed
by a syndicate Of railroad men, and,
inferentially, by the Pennsylvania
railroad. 1t has for its object the solu-
ton Of the rapid transit problem along
the ocean front and the development
Of the beach front all the way from
the Inlet to Longport.
The present scheme Is to suspend cleo
trio cars from the steel girders of the
board walk and operate them by means
Of the single rail system. This plan
would obviate the chief objection to q
transportation line along the beach
front from the fact that II would nei-
Their interfere with view of the ocean
from the promenade or the beach front
hotels nor obstruct access to the bath
ing grounds from the lighthouses.
These considerations have blocked all
previous plans for transportation facil-
tiles on the ocean front, because all Of
them interfered more or less with the
view or travel to the beach. To over
come these objections and to put the
present plan into execution would re-
Quire the elevation Of the board walk
from four to six feet. In other words,
an entirely new board walk would have
to be built throughout its length Of I'VE
miles. This the syndicate would un-
dertake to do, In addition to extending
1t to Longport, total distance Of ten
miles.
The promoters of the traction enter
prise propose taking this contract from
the city and building the promenade
on line to be agreed upon by the city
authorities and the property owners.
The new structure will be built on mas
sive steel pillars, and the walk will be
eighty feet in width, and probably 100
feet in the congested district in the vi
cinity Of the big ocean piers. The cleo
trio line will be double tracked from
the Inlet to Chelsea and single tracked,
with switchouts, from that point to
Longport.
The syndicate will also build at least
four immense hotels-one at Chelsea,
one Ventnor, another at South At
lantic and the fourth at Longport.
Cottages and villas will also be erected
along the entire line of the road.

Case of Asti9matism Cured By .

Medical circles will be much inter-

New York Medical Journal, published
the other day, Of the recent cure Of 4
case of astigmatism by DR.. George J.
Bull through an operation upon 4
young womans eye.
The patients eye had an inverse a.
tgmia, as DR.. Bull prefers to call 1t;
in other words, one in which the 70
fraction is greatest in the horizontal
meridian. The eye, looking at the radi-
ating lines on distant clock dial, could
see distinctly only the horizontal lines.
Describing the operation, which Ii de.
clared by oculists to mark new era
IN the cure Of astigmatism, DR.. Bull
says:
II made complete tenotomy Of the
left external rectus, being careful not
to cut the capsule much beyond the
upper and lower borders Of the tendon.
Three days later the ophthalmometsf
showed that the corneal astigmia Of
the left eye had disappeared. The eur.
Nature Of the vertical meridian had not
changed; that Of the horizontal merid-
ian had diminished
Knowing from experience in other
cases that operations on the reet mus
cles frequently cause changes in the
refraction, and particularly In astig-

that they blurred her sight. Upon tax
