A hundred years have just passed
since Robert Fulton and others made
steam navigation possible on the
waterways of this country, and nearly
century has gone by since steam
boats were first seen on the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers. The great cities
along those streams, from Pittsburg
to Cincinnati, from st. Paul 20 New
Orleans, were practically the creations
of that form of transportation. But
for half a century the waterways have
been gradually yielding to the rail
ways. The floating palaces, the enor-
nous fatboats and canal barges, have
almost wholly disappeared from the
Ohio, the Mississippi and the Missouri.
Even the trans Isthmian canal has
been opposed on the ground that the
trans continental railroads sufficed for
all traffic purposes. But now it is
evident that the business Of the coun-
try has outgrown the carrying capao.
ity of the railroads, and that the
waterways must be made, as far az
possible, to relieve them of the
heavier kinds of transportation. In
response to this demand New York il

mated cost of hundred million dol.

The Meridian Reunion.

Mr.. Editor: I know you will in
dulge an olds'Vet,'' who wishes to
tell you of the recent Reunion of
confederates, at Meridian, last week,
it being the annual meeting of the
Mississippi Division; General Robert
Lowry, commanding. On tile 26 and
81 OF Sept, just passed, Meridian
literally threw open its doors to the
veterans, and quite large and en-
thusiastic number, of old timers en-
joyed the hospitality of this grand
city. The eloquent speeches Of vel.
come were simply q forecast Of what
was in store for us; everything was
on big scale; everything was free to
the Vets and everyone seemed to

kindly attention The meeting was

suits may come from the resolutions,

showed some roo or 800 men IN line,
and we were glad to note that as q

Electricity as an AneSthesia.

1t it be true, as the cablegrams re-
port. that Stephen Leduc, the
distinguished professor of the School
Of Medicine at Nantes, has discovered
method of causing electric sleep. his
will rank as one of the greatest dis
coveries made by medical science, and
one of vast value to the human race,
for it will replace chloroform and all
other anesthetics in surgical opera
tions hereafter.
We are told that the discovery was
the result of long study by Leduc of
the effect of intermittent currents of
electricity and from the knowledge
that the skull and brain offer but
little resistance to those currents. In
the experiments which he has made
upon human beings Leduc used cur
rent of thirty-five volts applied in
termittently in it's full strength for a
minute fraction of a second, two
electrodes being placed to the skull in
a special manner, and the points Of
application being first carefully
shaved of hair. Before announcing
his discovery to the medical pro-
fession of France Leduo made scores
of experiments not only on dogs, but
on himself, and 1t is said that all
were successful.
The application of the current on
the head is declared not to be danger
GUS and no i'll effects follow even
when the experiment lasts for hours !;
therefore it is claimed for this electric
sleep that the advantages are numer-
GUS and far superior to the sleep pro-
duced by anesthetics. For example,
it is asserted that anesthesia by cloro-
form, morphine or either is dis
agreeable, always dangerous and has
often proved fatal, while the awaken
ing is painful. On the other hand,
it is commended that during electric
sleep the patient remains perfectly
quiet and the awakening occurs the
moment the electrodes are withdrawn
from the head.
Prof. Leduc declares that the sem
stations after the operations are quite
agreeable. The mind appears to work
more clearly and rapidly and the
patient experiences feeling of in
creased physical vigor. From all ao-
counts there is little reason to doubt
that he has made one Of the most i'm
portant discoveries in the field of
medical science and one that will be
of enormous value to the medical
profession in surgical practice and in
other ways. IN. @. States.

declared to be the best in the world.
In curious way he has surpassed
not only. his own, but all other per.
formsnces in the art Of engraving.
One day recently Young and few Of
his friends were discussing the feat Of
q Philadelphia engraver who in
scribed the twenty six letters Of the
alphabet on the head Of pin. Young
expressed his belief that he could do
even more than that He said that
while the Philadelphia man had
engraved the twenty-six letters on the
head Of large pin, he GOULD put all
letters on the head of small pin,
and then have room left for another
matter. A wager was made that he
could not accomplish the feat. Young
worked now and then on the task for
q week and then showed his friend
the result. He had actually engraved
two full alphabets on the head of a
pin only sixty five one-thousandths of
an inch in diameter and had room
enough left to engrave his name,
young at the bottom.
Spurred by Young's feat, the other
government engravers succeeded in in
scribing on the head of pin the com
plete alphabet. Then Young de-
termined to set an example that
would stand. He took q small.sized
pin and in single half day engraved
sixty -one letters on the head.
The letters are not observable with
the naked eye. In fact, the ordinary
observer would not know that the
that the heae of the pin had any en-.
craving on it. Only with a power
full msgnifying glass can the letters
be made out. They are separate and
distinct and each one is about the
same distance from that next to it.
Every one of them is formed perfect.
ly and the lines separating them are
clearly defined. 1t is regarded as
likely that Young's feat will stand
unapproached for many years, even
if it should ever be equaled -

The Review Of Reviews for Octobe

The Review of Reviews for October
observes that it is not wise to p1oph-
esy overmuch about business con-
ditions, since no one knows what is
going to happen; but ventures the
assertion that it is unlikely that for
the next year or two productive en-
terprise will make such demands upon
the labor maket as to call for million
fresh immigrants annually, as during
the past three seasons. Luxurious
expenditure will be somewhat cur
tailed. it thinks, and less money taken
out of business for such agreeable di-
versions as automobiling over Europe.
Then, it may be hoped, season or
two of good crops will maintain the
purchasing power of the farmers, keep
the, factories going, and tide the coun.
try over period Of somewhat
painful but necessary liquidation and
re-establishment of credit.

Whenever you hear of great
career ask for the woman in the case.
Edward Grieg, the great Norwegian
composer who died last month, owed
a great part OF his genius to his
mother and much of his inspiration
to his wife. The home in which he
was born was surcharged with must
cal atmosphere, and it was by the ad-
vice of Ale Bull, the lannon's violinist,
that he was sent to Leipsic that he
might become professional musician.
He married his cousin, Nina Hagerup,
who inspired many of his best songs,
and by her singing helped to spread
his fame in the great capitals of
Europe.

A Soft-Money Democracy.

A visitor to this city yesterday
rendered gold coin of the United
States in payment for purchase and
was informed that the gold was not
wanted, and if accepted 1t would be
at q discount Of per cent, or cents
on the dollar.
Some years ago it came to the
knowledge of the writer that lady
visitor from Texas. being supplied
only with gold coin, found. such
difficulty in shopping with it that it
became necessary to exchange 1t for
paper. 1t was offered in a prominent
bank in this city and although the
coins had just come out of the San
Francisco Mint, the bank would only
accept them at discount. The
situation seemed either SO absurd or
so unreasonable that it was only
cleared up by taking the money to the
Subtreasury, where it was at once,
and without the slightest hesitation.
exchanged for greenbacks.
1t has become an interesting fact
that, although the Democracy in the
South had BEEN from its beginning
and up to the civil war hard-money
party, its success IN paying debts with
confederate papers seems to have
turned its head, and it became the
most strenuous champion Of paper
and silver money. The prejudice
against gold is remarkable.-N.

CLAIM JUMPERS FOOLED.
Management of Montana Mammoth
FOrstalled Raid of Jumpers.

Management of Montana Mammoth
Forstalled Raid of Jumpers.
In its monthly report the C. e.
Mitchell company says:
Early in November word came to
the management of the Montana
Mammoth that an attempt would be
made by few low-minded persons
to involve the company in litigation
by jumping the ground, under claim
that the land could not be held un-
der the patent title which the COM
pany had acquired. A message was
Immediately sent to the mine in
structing the superintendent to with
draw the men from the tunnels and
to stake the entire property into min
Ing claims. This was done, and the
Jumpers" were thereby shut out.
They showed up to do their dirty
work, but finding bright, new stakes
in sight all over the hillside, they
went away disgusted.
Stalking the property resulted in
good to the company in two ways: 1t
forestalled litigation and resulted in
the digging Of 10 assessment holes,
each 10 feet deep, one on each of the
10 claims into which the land was
divided. In all but three of these
holes mineralized rock was found. In
four OF them high-grade ore carry
Ing native silver was found. These
holes have proven that the entire
acreage of the company is one great
mineralized mass and seems to prom
ise the fulflllment of a prediction
made by railroad man, who visited
the porperty during November, who
said: All you need here is big
