cal joke played upon him by a number
of friends at No. IL Engine house. The

was turned On than was intended. In
jumping from the chair after receiving
the first shock, Patrolman Roemer fell
back and struck the iron rod which
carried the current. Before the cur
rent could be turned off he had been
severely cut and burned. It was nee
essary for his physician to take II
stitches in the wound, and he will be

SILENT SALUTE OF JAPAN.
Other More impressive than EnthusL
aetic Cheering.

AT the recent grand review of the
Japanese fleet, when the milSado's,
launch passed, the civilians removed
their top hats, and the officers stood
saluting in absolute silence In the
same profound silence his majesty was
received on board the Asama, lined
along the sides with motionless men.
There was something much more i'm
pressive about this than the most en-
thusiastic cheering would havel been
1t is considered more respectful by
, the Japanese. Only once was he
greeted otherwise, which was consid-
cred quite an ovation. That was on
the occasion of his entry after the VIC
torious war with China, when the en-
thusiasm and loyalty of the people
burst forth into an ovation such as few
. monarchs have ever received.
AS he stepped on board, the royal
standard was fioated from the mizzen-
mast-a great crimson flag, with the
chrysanthemum in gold. Precisely at
$50 the Asama began to move in the
direction of the fleet, and then all
the assembled ships, including those
of foreign nationalities, fired royal
salute simultaneously.
The Meyallao and Chihaya took up
their places behind the Asama, which
slowly and deliberately steamed down
between the lines. She passed between
the Japanese admiral's flagship at the
head of the line and H. NJ. S. Glory,
the flagship of the British admiral,
which respectively headed the lines OF
Japanese and foreign vessels. The
emperor was greeted with three Brit
ish cheers as he passed, and as the Jap
anese have taken the British navy as
their model, each of their ships re-
piled with three cheers to the words
"Ho hal" (honorably salute)
Including the foreign ships there
were four lines; the tonnage of the
Japanese amounted to 100000 tons.
| The emperor passed down between the
! first and second, and returned between
the third and fourth lines. The Chen
Yuen, captured from the Chinese, was
at the end of the second line-a fine
war trophy for that young fleet. Pass
ing through these lines of grim death
machines, one was struck with the
thought Of the wonderful things these
, people had accomplished in thirty
| years.
What retrospect might pass
through the mind Of that man on the
bridge of the Asama! Marquis Ito
stood behind him, to whom more than
any other that fleet owed it's existence.
1t was a proud day for him, and for
| those who had labored with him in the
ney (Australia) Town and Country
! Journal.

new USE FOR PHoNocRAPH.
with It q Physician Cures a Case
without Seeing Patient.

"A novel use for the monograph
impressed me the other day." says a
clergyman in the Philadelphia Record.
Il was calling on my doctor and he
told me of 1t then. He said a patient
or his, while on visit to California,
mad developed bad cough and feared
that this cough was of q tubercular
nature. His heart also was weak and
he was anxious about that, too.
We'll, for the doctor to 60 all the
way to California would have been
expensive and for the patient to have
come to Philadelphia would have been
impossible. In the dilemma a phono
graph was called in. The sick man
first talked into the photograph all
his symptoms. Then he coughed be-
fore 1t, and then, with the help of an
instrument that highly magnifes
sound. two or three minutes beating
of his disordered heart was registered
on the sensitive cylinder.
THE outcome was wonderful. The
Philadelphia doctor, receiving the
photograph record, ascertained that
his patients cough was not a con.
sumptive one, and that his heart was
not seriously affected. The doctor let
nae listen to the record in his Office.
1t was impressive. First I heard the
patient, In weak voice, detailing his
symptoms-a pain here, an ache there,
and SO on. Then heard him cough
ing. Then heard his heart pulsatins
in an odd, irregular way.
Thanks to the phonograph, the
doctor said, 4 diagnosed that case az
well as though nay patient has sat be
