Great Surgeon in No Way Inflated by
His Success.
e,mrL,UITY OF DR.. LCRENz.

Great Surgeon in No Way Inflated by
His Success.
Probably no one who has cncoun-
Vienna surgeon, has failed to be
struck with a certain simplicity in his
manner that differentiates him from
the more familiar type of medical men
in this country, whose sphinX-like Wis
age and air of impenetrability make of
him a colossal mystery to the layman
DR.. LoreIZ appears to be frankness
mpersonated. He is just a man who
las by hard work learned to do a
thing or two better than anybody else,
and is not at all puffed up about it.
Not a young doctor saw him operate
but was greatly enthused and encOur-
aged. And through all his clinical
work there has run Il refreshing cur
rent of humor that on occasions has
fairly convulsed his heaped.up audi.
ences.
At one clinic DR.. Lorenz was eX.
planning how little girl who had been
operated on for double dislocation of
the hip, would be able to move around
in play, Notwithstanding that her legs
were held by plaster casts at right an
giles with her body, with the limbs free
to move only below the knee. To
the amaZement of everybody there,
particularly the big wigs of the pro-
fession, DR.. LorenZ, to illustrate, as
sumed a squatting attitude, with his
legs is a position like that of the little
girl and executed a comical hippity
hop around the room.
Like leetle toad" he said, in his

will be pleased to learn that
Congressman Naphen says the commit
tee on interstate and foreign commerce
after learning that considerable money
had been expended on Castle island by
the city of Boston and of it's popu.nr-
ity as the finest section of the park sys-
TEN in our locality, and after it was
shown that ether islauGI cOr1d be
used for lighthouse purposes to as good
advantage, members of the committee
felt. as do the people of Boston, that
the island should be Gained for the
it voted at the close Of the hearing to
report favorably on the matter.

A Deed of Darkness.

Boston, Mass.-Extraordinary nerve,
aided by the terrific fog, witch
shut out the movements of the thieves
from any one more than six feet away,
enabled express wagon thieves to seal
not only the contents OF an express
wagon. but the wagon and the horse
attached to it, as we'll G. f. Andrews,
an eXpressman, drove up to the curb
stone on Dover street, near Shawmut
avenue, at o'clock, and left his horse
and his wagon, containing load of
butter, cheese and eggs. and cask OF
gin, while he stepped into a store for a
couple of minutes, and when he came
out. horse, wagon and load had disap-
peared as completely as though the
fog had swallowed them up.

In some parts of the west there are
great banks Of pebbles and boulders
in watch gold is to be found, 1t Is
not there AS nuggets, or even as ore,
but as fine particles that have been
washed down into the depths OF the
hills by the long.continued action of
latural forces.
This gold cannot be obtained ny the
usual methods of the miner; 1t would
not pay him to adopt them, because
the particles are so fine and are SO
scattered that the time consumed in
getting them out would be worth more
than the product
To the successful working OF these
great pebble cliffs the miner has
the work thoroughly unaided by any
force except its own.
In many directions, away up on the
surrounding hills, sluices and water.
ways are constructed SO that the lit.
tie streams and rills will send their
waters down to reservoir which is
built somewhere within 300 or 400
yards or the CllH mat Is to be worked
and 100 or l50 feet above 1t. The
reservoir having been built, an iroH
pipe, varying in diameter from six to
twenty inches, according to the work
that is to be done, Is laid from 1t to
what is called the working level; that
is to say to the point from which the
workmen will direct the stream thus
conveyed to them.
AT this point a piece of machinery
is built, which weighs from one to
