At the Brighton Abattoir to Supply
Boston With Meat.

Boston. July 17.-Never until. today,
has the demand for meat been so ur-
gent in Boston as to necessitate the
butchers at the Brighton abattoir
working Sundays and all night. From
morning until night. all the slaughter
houses presented scenes OF activity,
today. A double force of men was en-
ployed and all were working to over
come the demand which is sure to be
great. tomorrow.
Friday night SO cars Of live stock
were unloaded at the stock yards. All
day. yesterday. there were driven to
the pens in the slaughter house so as to
make room for the large importation
which is expected, early in the week.
Most Of the meat from Brighton will
go toward the supply of the people of
this city and vicinity. The authorities
are quite confident of keeping up with
the demand IL the railroad employees
do not join in the strike and thus tie
up the lines.

Mr. Perdicaris. '.as the public has the
idea that Raisuli Is common robber. This
is entirely erroneous. L consider Raisuli
to he the strongest man now available to
deal with the turbulent conditions. While
il would be an experiment, yet l am con-
WINGED that ii would be better to try the
experiment than to allow the situation to
drift into complete anarchy.

can he done by the foreign representa-
tives joining with France in upholding
Raisuli'S authority.

Gummere. the American consul general
and the British minister at Tangier. are
strongly opposed to giving Raisuli any
authority. He pays high tribute to the
American and British officials, but says
the natural result of the trouble he gave
them during the captivity incident.
With the exception of these two. Mr.
Perdicaris says the foreign representa-.
tives approve of the plan of supporting
During the interview Mr. Perdicaris
gave the following description of Raisuli
commanding appearance. His dark heav.
iy-bearded face usually has an express.
sion OF sternness, but it lights up wher
he speaks: He wears a white turban anl
flowing white and blue robes. which con.

the officials and parliamentary leaders

x.Raxa In surnsrv.

In a recent number Of the Lancet,
Mr.. Stephen Mayon describes a meth
cd Of removing small metallic for
eign bodies from the stomach by
means of an electro-magnet, aided
by X-rays. The electro-magnet is
two inches in length and five-sixths
of an inch in diameter, and is placed
in an ordinary stomach tube, with a
narrow silver band on the outer side
of the stomach end Of the tube. When
the tube containing the magnet, pro-
truding one-foarth of an inch, is
placed in an ordinary stomach tube,
with a narrow silver band on the out
er side of the stomach end of the
tube. When the tube containing the
magnet, protruding one-fourth of an
inch, is passed into the stomach, the
X-ray is applied, and the operator
is thus able to bring the magnet into
contact with that part of the foreign
body most suitable to draw into the
tube. The current is then allowed to
dow through the magnet, and the for
eign body is drawn into the tube by
means of the connecting wires When
the foreign body is shown by the X
ray to be in the tube, the whole is
withdrawn together.
