Washington defended. The solid good
Of America Is that when all is said
and done she Is a republic. public
thing and a people representing itself.
There are men rich enough and strong
enough, almost, to starve America, but
there are no men strong enough to
silence America. No oligarchy acts as
an entirely false interpreter between
Americans and the world. America
and the Americans may be right or
wrong. But England may actually be
wrong while Englishmen are right
We have said, then, that the true Amer
lean virtue is this candid and complete

weeks or months before the lung would

a gain Vas made in the convalescence
of the patient. 1t was said that the
little boy recently operated on would
0e out in less than month.
The positive air pressure apparatus
and its methods will be applied in the
near future to other operations in
which the thoracic cavity is opened.
For instance. there is carcinoma of the
oesophagus.
Prior to the existence of the positive
air pressure apparatus it was impossi-
bic to operate for this disease. The
operation. however. to relieve this has
been performed successfully In Europe
with the use of the apparatus. 1t was
thought. too. that the new apparatus
might lead to important results in tn
berculosis. 1t was said that certain
parts of the lungs could be cut away.
since the apparatus would keep the
lungs inflated with every respira ton
while the surgeons worked in ordinary
atmospheric pressure.

ming the EtS Iifeboat5.
Aboard an ocean liner the other day
several officers were talking about the
length of time required to launch and
man one of the large lifeboats that
swing from dnvits sixty feet above the
sea. 1t was agreed that boat can be
lowered with it's crew and get away
from the ship in two minutes in any
thing like decent weather.
An instance was related where a
man had fallen from the liner while
she was speeding II knots. The alarm
was sounded. Il boat lowered and the
swimmer rescued after considerable
row back over the course to where he
was fioundering about. The crew had
the rescued individual back to the ship
with the boat in its checks III just sew
enteen minutes, which is regarded a
most creditable performance. There
was no ice on the rope falls to hamper
the work ard everything worked
smoothly or the boat would have been
much longer on its mission.
A steamship Of 10000 tons when go
ing at full speed has momentum suffi
cient to carry her at least two miles
after the engines are stopped, provid
ing the sea is fairly quiet. Crews oil
lifeboats frequently have hard work

has been stopped.-Boston Herald.
