Work of Physicians.

THE hospitals. dispensaries and med
ical work of the American missionaries
are doing wonders. They treat between
$4,000 and 10000 patients year. and are
wonderfully successful In that way
they get into the families and secure the
confidence of the people and persuade
them to send their children TO school.
Their medical treatment ranges from the
administering of a dose of Quinine to
the performing of the most serious and
dangerous operations, and the patients
come long distances from the inner and
most inaccessible regions of the country.

J. Thoms. who had begun medical work
at Muttrah, has had some interesting
experiences He landed there last April
with his family and bags and baggage
and the sultan received him without any
favor. His majesty showed a fearful
dislike to the idea Of medical mis-
stonary entering his dominions. He
called DR.. Thoms before him and told
him there We're already sufficient doc
tors in his realm and that he must
leave at once. But DR.. Thoms put up a
good bluff and pointed out 10 him that
there was only one doctor i'm Muscat
and none at all In Muttrah, unless he
counted the native 'hakims,' who could
not even remove a splinter from foot
without exposing the patient to blood
poison. He declared that there was
plenty of work for at least six doc
tors. and as long as the treaty with the
United States gave him the right to
practice he proposed to stay and offer his
services to the people. And he did So
although he received no support from

Moslem and a Britisll-Indian subject
and that is the only representative of
the United States between Beirut and
Bagdad. a distance by coast OF more
than 5000 miles. That DR.. Thoms ar
rival was welcomed by the people is
indicated by the fact that he treated
800 patients the first week after his ar
rival, and in one day treated 2l2 pa
tients.'

Demonstrates His Plan.

In his room at No. 23 West oath street
Pickerill gave a World reporter re-
markable demonstration of the efficacy
of his new instrument last night. Previ-
ously the World man had telephoned this
message from the Waldorf-Astoria to the
Atlantic City station of the United Wire-
less Telegraph Company:
Whether walking Or riding is better,
who knows?"
The wording had been purposely made
nonsensical, so there would be no chance
of Pickerill guessing it. and no one ex-
cept the reporter knew what the message
was. The Atlantic City operator had
been directed to send the aerogram out
at 1890
In the wireless mans room, near the
bed, stood the tuner" connected by
about four feet of wire with the frame
of the iron bed. That was all the appa-
ratus. With the receivers to his ears,
Pickerill announced that the Manhattan
Beach station reported the steamship
ChristobaI had passed Cape Maysi. at the
eastern end of Cuba. at 3 o'clock and "a
little later that the same station was
trying to pick up the steamer San Juan.
Then, a little after 1870, he began to
write, and soon handed the World man
correct copy of his telephone message,
sent from the Atlantic City station,
nearly 100 miles away.

Abolition of High Aerials.

Il have always thought ii would be
practical to do away with the high aeri-
ais said Pickerill, so l brought home
some wire with the intention of stretching
it across the room near the ceiling. Then
it occurred to me that the bed might act
as an aerial, so | attached the wire to
the bed and the tuner, and the very
first thinS ! heard was message from
Manhattan Beach. l had only hoped to
catch the Waldorf-Astoria station. Since

The tuner consists of two cyHnderA
each wrapped with fine copper wire. The
smaller cylinder slides within the larger

pulling it out the tune" of the particu-

his neck and throat so torn as To cause

Found Dead in the Dark.

While Louise stood in the dining room
doorway her mother felt her way In the
darkness by means of the furniture over
to the mantelpiece. She had to pass the
dogs corner in doing so. and was startled
by almost tripping over heavy obstacle
which felt odd to her foot on the way.
She found the matches, however, on the
