GARDEN CRAZE IN ENGLAND.
It Has Brought About the Cult Of the
Garden Ornament.

From the London Mail.
The garden craze of the past few years.
for which we predicted brief life, though
merry one, has become what its real
votaries thought 1t would-a source of per-
manent interest.
This emphasis Of enthusiasm has brought
about the cult of the garden ornament, and
those who are able to afford to do so are
searching far and wide for some piece of
sculpture that shall harmonize with the
style of the gardens. be they Elizabethan.
Jacobean or Of the Georgian period.
Until one remembers the depredations of
the Puritans during the civil wars in this

Water That Can Magnetic.
From Success.


A reputable scientific publication is spon-
sor for the statement that there exist in at
least three places in the state Of Indiana
springs or wells whose water possesses
marked magnetism and is able to impart
1t to steel objects dipped therein. This
property has been reported Of other springs
in various parts of the world, but such
tales have been received by scientific men
with caution. In this case the magnetism
seems to arise from the fact that consid-
cradle quantities of carbonate Of iron are
dissolved in the water. When it stands for
some time this decomposes into carbonic
acid gas. which escapes, and magnetic iron
oxide, which falls to the bottom of the
containing vessel powder. When the
decomposition has ceased. the water is no
longer magnetic. These springs are said to
cause perceptible deviation of compass
needle. and a knife blade immersed for five
minutes in one of the springs is magnetized
sufficiently to sustain needles by it's point.
retaining this property for thirty hours
The water corrodes locomotive boilers, but,
when allowed to stand till the carbonate
has all decomposed, can be used with i'm
punfty.

Beri-Beri.
From the Chicago Record Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald
recent dispatch from Gen. Oku's head
quarters reported that the first south
bound train over the reconstructed rail-
way had carried away the last of the Japa-
nese wounded. and that the hospitals at
Liaoyang were now free for the care Of the
sick among the soldiers Beri-beri was
specially mentioned as a prevalent disease
Beri-ber1 is primarily a tropical disease,
out Its occurrence in the last few years in
places where 1t was not at all expected
has led to a general interest in it among
medical investigators. It Is a form of null
tlple neuritfs, disease of the nerves, ac-
compan1ed by infiamma ton. The patient
Is apt to have pain in his head, back and
legs loss Of power in arms and legs, Drop
wrist and drop-foot, muscular wasting

sorry disturbances. The progress of the

sions. The mortality is from to 30 per
cent.
3. Last year a Norwegian commission fnyes-
ugated the disease because of it's frequent
occurrence among sailors of that nation
altty, and attributed 1t to toxin poisoning
from tainted vegetables or meat. year
and a half ago there was an epidemic at
Panama. where the cause was attributed
variously to food, to special germ and to
emanations from the soil. Sometimes it is
caused by the toxins of typhoid fever or
other infectious diseases. careful scien-
tific investigation of the etiology of the dis
ease is now being made in the Malay penin-'
sula and in India.
In the Japanese army tainted rice would
be very apt to cause the trouble, or it
might be resultant of the various other dis
eases which are sure to occur among-sol-
diers. Fortunately the treatment of the
disease is better understood than its
origin.
