PATIENTS LUCKY ESCAPE.
Victim of Blood Poisoning Saved His
Limb by Dodging the Surgeons
Strange But True.

I'VE certainly have some strange
cases to deal with" said the hospital
attendant. land an odd one came to
us recently. An awfully bright but
eccentric chap was brought here for
the treatment. He had contracted
blood poisoning from some colored
wearing apparel, and 1t was decided
that amputation above the knee was
the only thing that would save his
life. OF course, we told him about 1t,
and made all preparations for 1t. But
the strange part was that when we
got ready for the operation the patient
was nowhere In sight He had quietly
moved out without saying anything to
anyone. We were frightened, because
we were afraid 1t meant the sacrifice
of his life. But two days later he APP
peared again, saying that he had made
up his mind that If that was his last
chance for a two-legged bat, he was
going to have a good one. And | guess
he had had it, judging by his looks.
But the most remarkable thing about
II was that he was so much better
that the doctors found that it was not
necessary to operate. Yes. 1t is q
strange case-but It is the truth"

NO DAY OFF" FOR A JUDGE.
Barristers in Great Britain Can Apply
for Injunctions at ANY Time
and Place.

Illustrating the proposition that
Judge never puts aside his judgeship, the
Westminster Gazette has the following:
Yesterday Mr.. Justice Bucknill was
surprised on the links by barrister who
presented an urgent request for GER
tain injunction. His lordship suspended
his game. and after due consideration of
the facts made the order, which was al
once telegraphed to Cardiff. and no
doubt took effect the same afternoon.
ION another occasion a barrister on
a similar quest is rumored to have found
his quarry bathing at Brighton. With
commendable devotion to his clients in
terests. he hired the next bathing ma
chine and rapidly Joined the Judge in the
water. The judges surprise at being
suddenly accosted in the well-kncwn
formula. 4 have an application TO make.
my lord. in a very urgent matter. may
be imagined. The law sometimes atones
for It's proverbial delay by these light
ming injunctions,"

DISEASE NEEDS WATCHING.
whooping Cough Not Simple Little
Affair Many Suppose-Nearly
as Fatal as Scarlet Fever.

Eliza II. Root calls attention, says the
-Woman's Medical Journal, to the fact
that this disease is too little dreaded by
the medical profession, and that it is by
no means the simple affair that many
seem to suppose.
From the United States census of 1900
we find that 663 died in New York from
whooping cough and $40 from scarlet
fever. In Chicago 141 died from whoop-
ing cough and 373 from scarlet fever;
Philadelphia. ITO from whooping cough
1872 from scarlet fever, and so on in the
different cities. Death from whooping
cough occurs most frequently from
pneumonia as complication that in
duces heart failure, or bronchitis may
occur that ends In suffocation. Asphyxia
or marasmus due to the continued eject
ing of the food or loss Of appetite may
cause death
Even when death does not occur. Sc
we're disturbance OF the nervous system
may remain. as weakness of the intel
lect and memory, imbecility. Visual de-
fects. strablsmus, blindness and deaf
ness. partial or complete. and even deaf
mutism may remain. Whooping cough.
1t is evident, should be under the con-
troll of health authorities, subject to
quarantine and other preventive meas
nres as much as scarlet fever.

THE WONDERS OF THERMlT.
Melts Both Iron and Steel in Short
order---Burns at Temperature
of $500 Degrees.

Humanity, which swelters in a heat
Of 80 degrees, and withers and dies II
the mercury runs up 10 or is degrees
higher, finds 1t hard to realize a heat
of $500 degrees. Yet, says the Brook.
Ign Eagle, that is the heat developed
In the combustion of thermit, a heat
which YIELDS together pieces of the
most ponderous machinery, which
makes 1t possible to mend iron cast
ings weighing tons, which heretofol q
had to be replaced at great expense Of
labor and time; which can unite iron
rails so perfectly that the jolting can
scarcely be seen or felt. and a rail can
be made miles long. instead Of so or
a hundred feet at the outside.
This thermit is a compound discov-
cred by DR.. Hans Goldschmidt, Of
Essen, Germany, who has been lee
turing in this country before chemi-
cal and engineering associations on
this chemical discovery of his that is
so full of engineering possibilities;
discovery that, unlike SO many scien-
tific discoveries. is not merely inter-
esting to the scientist. but CONNER
cially valuable in the industrial world.
The thermit is mixture Of finely
granulated or powdered aluminium
with some metallic oxide. most fire.
quently oxide of iron This mixture
looks not unlike gunpowder, or to
a housewife would suggest mixed tea,
the light granules being aluminium
and the dark ones oxide of iron. In
burning this mixture creates a tenn
perature, as DR.. Goldschmidt ex-
pressed it in a paper read at the an.
nual meeting of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers, about equal
to that of the electric arc light"

THE voRAcloUs DooFIsH
Will Annihilate Maine Fisheries If
Government Doesn't Help
Kill It.

Fish Warden N. J. Hanna, of Rock
land, has the following to say, according
to the Portland Press, relative to gov
eminent bounty on dogish;
There is no doubt but that for five
years these scavengers of the sea have
wrought more damage to our fishing in
dustry than in quarter of a century.
They swarm every bay and even pene-
trate our rivers. They came into Cape
Cod by the million five years ago and
now Names fishing industry is at their
mercy. Years ago they came only about
a month or six weeks each year from
August to September and at the first
northerly wind they disappeared, but
now they are with us about all the year.
What are known as the whip lash
dogfish are our scourge-a small, vora-
cious fish that feeds on every other fish
that is not its master. A species of the
shark, the large one, will attack a man.
| remember go years ago boy fell over
board off Monhegan and before he was
rescued he was literally torn to pieces,
the water surrounding being covered
with blood
They are not menace to the lobster,
as claimed. A dogfish has to turn upon
its back to bite, and the lobster being
bottom of the sea shell fish has ample
protection in his location. There should
by all means be a government bounty of
five cents apiece or over for these dog
fish If something is not done there will
be in time humiliation of one of Names
greatest industries-her fisheries"

Commercial camphor.

Practically all the camphor of com
MERGE comes from Japan and Formosa.
which is a Japanese colony. AS Japan
needs it for making smokeless gunpow-
der, the government has forbidden its
export. so that Russia may not get any !,
and also in order that the Japanese pow
der mills may not run short Japan's
control of the camphor trade gives the
mikado a sort of control over war
among other nations.

FRANKLY OWNED HIS FAULT.
Incident Of Recent Occurrence illus
trating French Army Discipline
"A Grenadier's offenss.

Although there has been complaint
Of late about growing lack Of disci-
pline in the ranks OF the French army,
the Generalization has not. 1t Is b,r
eved, progressed seriously, as the
ollowlng incidents, coming from u
french naval port, will illustrate:
A general holding a high command
made his appearance a few days ago
at the barracks of an infantry regi-
ment, which, in obedience to his or
ders was promptly drawn up in the
yard. Then he explained the reason
in a brief address. He said that as
he was walking in the town attired
in mufti on the previous day a man
belonging to the corps, who was the
worse for liquor, accosted him rudely
and asked him to stand him drink.
Let him step out of the ranks" Ire
concluded.
Immediately bugler emerged, and.
-aluting. said: ut is l, mon general"
The incident is characteristic and
lpropos of 1t one is reminded of such
an adventure which befell a certain
French marshal. A grenadier. who
vas exasperated at some injustice
that had been done him, pointed his PTS
toll at him and pulled the trigger, but it
lid not go off. without moving a
muscle, the veteran cried: -Four days
in the cells for keeping your arms In
4 bad state" The bugler's honesty

tenuation of his offense in the eyes
Of the general.
