Electricity for Medicine.

Mechanical appliances have be-
come important aids to physicians
in the treatment of diseases, and
especially in the use of electricity.
Machines for the development of
this subtle fluid, force. or whatever
else it may be, are now found in
every hospital and in the consult
ing Offices of most practicing physi-
clans. Drs. Ashley and Gendron
Iof this city have each long had an
electric machine for use as occasion
required in their practice, and last
Saturday DR.. G. d. Gallup had one
installed in his office. This ma
chine of DR.. Gallup, the expert, N.
o. Nelson, who set it up says, is
one of the largest and finest static
electrical machines in the state.
The case is substantially built, of
golden oak, beautifully carved, and
the Holtz generator is especially
powerful, being composed of 80
very large glass discs, Is revolving
and l6 stationary. The power for
giving these plates rapid revolution
is furnished by one-half horse
power electric motor. Added to
the appliances for the utility of or
binary static electricity is an attach
ment for the development of the x
ray, and high frequency resona-
tor. This resonator is compare
lively new appliance, which, when
attached to the Holtz generator, de-
velopS vibrations of such rapidity
as is difficult of determination but
estimated at from 100, 900 to 500, 900
per second with proportionate volt
age. This powerful current is in
no way dangerous and is found of
much efficacy in the treatment of
certain ailments. The power of this
resona.or is intimated by the fact
that the current is apparently not
in the least arrested by the e.rdina-
ry insulators, glass and rubber.
DR.. Gallup is we'll versed in the
possibilities of electricity in its ap-
plication to diseases, as, besides
study of the subject in the Univer-
sity he had charge of the electrical
appliances in the Hudson Sanitari-
UNI for a long time under the Ia
mented DIR. Sam C. Johnson.

If further depreciation Of Panama

If further depreciation of Panama
is required in order TO glorify the
Canyon, it is only necessary to re-
fer to the subtle means of Nature
found in her employment of the
suns rays TO lift the Pacific ocean
water into the air, to transport il
across one-third of the breadth of a
continent, dropping it upon noun
tains of Wyoming and Colorado so
that it may acquire momentum in
descending the hills, in order to
push, pulverize, and float the can
yon rock to the see, incidentally
spraying Arizona in order to main
tain the local quarrying by frost
and plant as already stated.
In this great mining camp for
the establishment of new Atlantis
the mills of the gods grind slow,
but they grind continuously and ex-
ceeding fine. Every patriotic citi-
zen coming down the trail for pleas
ure or business should halt al Will
liams, run over seventy miles on
spur line, to see the Canyon. He
will go among men thereafter with
such reverence for God and for Ma
ture as has not been his wont, and
his views of himself and his inn
portance are likely to correspond
with those which his neighbors just
ly hold of him. BADGER.

These were all successful farmers
where they were as is demonstrated

so as to bring high price. These
additions to our farming communi-
ties brought with them and are
making use of it here their valuable
experience in farming methods.
They make a valuable addition to
the two counties. It is noticeable
that these new corners are improv-

chased, and for which development
they have the means to perfect.
