i X A ,1 i I 2 THE IUNETCSCWE. Recent Uses of the Invention In the Study of Disease. ' Edison's Fart la tb Perfection of tbe Won derful Machine What Hay Ite Ao eompllsnad by Bla Other inventions. The invention of the kinetoscope, which is at present attracting a largo amount of popular interest, resembles some of Mr. Edison's inventions in b'jing really an improvement on or an adapta tion of discoveries of other men. This in no way implies that the fame of tho American inventor is undeserved. On the contrary, it is due to his genius that mere experiments of scientists have been converted into things of real and lasting benefit to civilization. ' Sir Humphrey Davy discovered that car bon could be rendered incandescent in a current of electricity, and that oxygen consumed the carbon; but it remained for Edison to exclude oxygen and to give the electric light to civilization. The main essentials of the phono-paph were in use before Edison conceived the idea of making a practical use of the machine. ; The Muybridge. photo graphs were the forerunners of the kinetoscope.. ., , , It has been proclaimed, says the Bos ton Advertiser, that the time is now at hand when books and theaters will be come rarities, and the average citizen . will be content to use the phonograph and the kinetoscope for his pleasure. Such a prediction is over-sanguine, as yt, for tho reason that these inven tions are not yet perfect. The beauty of concerted music or of rare singing is still marred by the electric whir and the false sounds that issue from the phonograph's diaphragm. The splen did color and dazzling luster of the opera's stage are yet beyond tho grasp of the kinetoscope. Perhaps these things may come some day, but they have not come yet, and in the meantime the1 present generation is concerned chiefly with the things of to-day. Tho telephone, for instance, is of more im mediate use to civilization than are the phonograph and kinetoscope com bined. Science has already found certain uses for Mr. Edison's later inventions, however. Tho phonograph counter feits permanently many sounds that are useful to therapeutics; the normal and unsound heartbeats, "rales" in the lungs, certain vocal sounds depending upon special conditions of tho throat and tonsils. It is of decided benefit to science to have permanent records that can always bo of easy access without recourse to a special patient. In the same way the kinetoscope promises to be of great utility to medical science by reproducing physical action that ean bo studied in detail or comprehensively as the student desires. In this city some effort in that direction has already been undertaken, and more will be de veloped from timo to time, especially in .nervous disorders that bring on certain physical action that is pf ten so violent and vigorous as to baffle any attempt at close study by means of the nuaiUeu eye. The Muybridge photographs showed some years ago that tho eye was unre liable for the detection of the absolute details of rapid animal motion. In stantaneous photography alone gives a correct representation of tho different attitudes taken by men oranimulsin rapid action, and it is quite possible that medical science may achievo fresh discoveries by the help of the khioto scope. , Thus, in studying tho muscular action that results from certain nervo disorder's, it may bo possible to tnuo the nerves which are affected. Even in less complicated eases, like lameness, a surgeon may oe auio to reach conclus tone with groat quickness and certainty by securing tho details of musjaleV action of tho affected limb, as the niiced vi mo Kineioscope may be rccrulated a will. Altogether, then, while tho repro duction of grand opera for tho mulll uae may oe a matter of the remote future, the kinetoscope is something of more use 10 civilization than a mere pictorial toy.

A woman recently died in a neigh boring town, and beside a granddaugh ter aud her cynical husband, she left a few relatives and $S0 in gold with other things. The woman, says the Worces ter Uazette, was over US when she died, and tho $80 included her wedding presents. Like many persons in those days, she held fust to the shining ea gles, and had had them " forbear) v 77 tin . , ... . years. nen sno tliou, of course, the birds were distributed among the heirs. The cynical husband, Who was married to tho old lady's favorite grauddaugh ter, mused upon the $80 in gold and stripped his thoughts of all sentiment, as he speculated in his mind what might have been. He has not quite got through figuring yet, and his constant query is, if grandmother had only put that $S0 in the bank when she firat got it, what a clutch of golden eagles we would have now! He mused ou this as he got ready on cold mornings to go to work, and his favorite topic of thought was suggested as ha jingled a nickel and a bunch of keys looking for his car fare Then he began to figure that money at 6 per cent, doubles in about 11 years, and he lost sleep as he thought how many times 11 years went in 77 years. When the cynical husband finally referred the question of his losses to a bank man he learned that in 60 years the $80 in gold would have amounted to $1,473.60. Without figur uring any further on the problem, the bank man said he would easily con sider that $10,000 was lost by saving $80. It is not on unusual thing in some of the old batiks to have an account doub led uiany times over and over again. One day last week in the Worcester county institution for savings, an nc count was reckoned at 1244.0:1, which originally was but $10.65. Nothing had ever been added or taken from the bank account, and it was left to accu mulate. It took about 50 years for the original sum to gather all that moss. There was another recent in stance in the same bank where 81 t imes the original sum was paid to a depositor. No one wonders that some body discovered and said that money makes money.' , STAGE v COACH DAYS. How People Traveled In the Middle State Forty Vears Jcu. Forty-two years ago last New Year's day tho last throngh United States mall arrived by stage coach from ISaltimore at Wheeling, W. Vu., says the Balti more Sun. John E. Keeside, now a rc.iident of Baltimore, was in charge of the stage which made the last trip, urriving in Wheeling New Year's day, 1S53. - , Mr. Kceside'a father, tho late James lloeside, was a pioneer in this travel. Tho son entered the same business when about fifteen years old, and con tinuetl extcudin,' ctiige-eoaeh lines westward ur.til they reached the Pacific coast. Ilailroeds tollowett in the wake of the coach lines and took away their business of carrying passengers and mails. l'robably the most interesting of Mr. Ilccside's experiences were in connec tion with the national road, or "old pike," projected by the national gov ernment in 1800. This road extended from Cumberland, Md., westward over the AlleghitnloH to the Ohio rivar. It ivim tho main artery of travel for pas senger, iimil and freight traffic until the liultiiDore & Ohio railroad took its place. From llaltimore to Cumberland the turnpike was older, having been con structed by private persons and compa nies. , "The stnV-coach headquarters in Bal timore,: caul Mr. Keeside, "were at old Iiarnnm'a hotel and the Fountain inn, which Ktrod on tho site of theC'arrollton hotel. The conches used wore open at tho fnmt !.;:d kiC.vh, with seats for eleven passer-frem besitlon the driver. All t;t ats fawd the front of the vehicle. f'udiUtliigs, which were carried in that tiraefcrbBrtr-Sffe, were hung on the I'Osts supi oi -.a-. tho top- of the stage. A miiuU rack behind for trunks was r;oMom u:wd. A tin lantern, with a tallow clip, placed over the driver was tiid at niiIit. "Four strong horses drew these coaches, with relays; every ten or twelve miles ut or Rations, from which probably cai.io the i.ar.io of tho vehicle. Tho average rate of fare was six cents u mile, At first travel was only in tho daytime, with stops over night at .tho liunibenie..! exeollent luns or taverns which li.n-il iho roud.

"The two hundred Snd seventy-two miles from liultimore to Wheeling were first made in four dn vs, with nMitlv i stops. - TlftTiestsfajM coach time was afterward reduced to fifty hours by the old Eclipse line, established by James lieeside." Mr. Rcesldo ia probably tho only sur viving stage coach contractor of na tional prominence. He is a native of Cumberland. Samuel Lurman, said to he tho oldest living stage coach driver, now lives in Cumberland. Home Unearthed Near Pompeii. A valuable discovery has been made at rianulla-Setteimiul, near Pompeii, on tho property of a certain M. Vin cent de Proseo. A house has been un earthed which was covered at the timo the city was buried, and it is said to bo in a more perfect condition than any building yet discovered. It contains several large apartments, and threo bathrooms with the basins in sculp tured marble, and with leaden pipes ornamented with bronze faucets. Tho threo rooms correspond, says a writer, in describing the discovery, to the "calidarium, tepidarium, and frigi darium, which were always to be found in ancient houses of the first class. In consequence cf the eruption of Vesu vius, A. I). T'., tho Pompeiian houses brought to light heretofore have been roofless,, almost without exception. Fortunately, however, that on the property of M. do Preseo is perfect, aud aroiituoio;rists are happy over that fact. The roof measures almost forty-four foot in lonurth." Japanone Officers. A war correspondent, writing after familiar association with Japan's lead ing soldiers, says: "Tho Japanese if ticors am a mixture of tho French olll e;!rs,und tho German nous officers. They live rlsrht imioug their men. sle?a nvixr them, cat tho rsiuo food in sight of nil, e.VKxio themselves to all kinds of il.!ii;;cr und luir;'hip. No wonder the aohlk'rs hove the greatest confidence in them I found every Japanese general I mot to bo bravo, generous, kind, no- lite, ready to Rive his life for his men .yntV.for.JUj Hug. t When tho detailed history of the life of some of these men is written it will undoubtedly call forth the admiration of the world." Collisions and derailments were re sponsible for the death of 431 em ployes during, the year ending Juue SO, 1891 Of this number 836 were trainmen. ' ; Tun largest number of casualties to railway employes during the year end ing June iti), lMf.2, resulted from coup, ling and uncoupling ears, S7S employes having beea killed and 10,819 in Jured while rendering this service. Y Uiu-0 Ul'.HUlWJSiJ. The Animate Turned to When Dead.' Account From Their Careaatee Olia and FertUbing Material Are Rendered How the Different Parts Are I'aed. Farmers whose horse are played out and useless no'w know Where" to dispose of them. The' lieil them as low as two dollars apiece to an establishment here that converts the animal into a fertil izer, and then later on the farmer pur chases the fertilizer and plants the out put of his old horse where it will enrich his crops and IldstU'ri tfaiiir growth. The concern that deals in old horses, says the Chicago Tribune, is in tho business of producing fertilizer, and the more horses available the better It is for the trde, for this is an industry that has always prospered despite hard times and business depression. The concern stands ready to purchase all the horses that can be procured. The price paid is one dollar and a half to two dollars a head. They are worth nothing to the owners, and when it is considered that about five hundred pounds of fertilizer is procured from each animal it eatl easily be seen that a good margin of profit is made. If the supply holds out they kill on an average three horses a day all the year round at these works, and, as the busi ness is of long standing, it is estimated that enough norscs have been disposed of to supply a largo standing army. Tho ages of these infirm brutes range from fifteen to twenty-five years, and their condition depends largely upon the life they have led. Many of the animals look as if they hadn't seen t:i since they were eolts, and others are np:ivi.ied-sprnng at the knees and blind. An apartment of the building is set apart as the death house, as it is iicre the executioner wields the instru ment of death. Tho manner of disposing of the ani mals is this: When led from the pen the horse is tied to a post and tho "black cap" placed over its head. The executioner then strikes it a blow across the head with an ax and the an imal falls helpless to the floor. . Its throat is then cut and life vanishes. This done, the process of dissection und separation begins. The hide is first removed and the carcass boiled, if it contains any fat.' The grease is des ignated as "horse oil." The bones of the lower limbs are boiled, and the fat extracted from them is called "ncats foot oil." When tho flesh of the car cass has been thoroughly boiled and the grease skimmed off tho surface of the vat it is thrown into the cellar and allowed to remain there for over three months, all the time being subjected to the influence of potash and gypsum, which is mixed with it, and which rots it. The bones- pass through two crush ers, the first of which reduces them, and the second grinds them to powder. Several chemical ingredients are then mixed with the bone dust. This prep aration is what is commonly known as bone fertilizer, and is probably the best artificial commodity used in agri culture. The horse hides are disposed of to leather manufacturers, and bring more than was originally paid for the entire animal. But not horses alone are used in the production of fertilizer. A great many cattle go that way too, and as for bones, those of any animal are valuable. Tho concern here does not draw tho line on live animals; dead ones will do, providing they nro not too old. It is a very strange coincidence that but very few cows are disposed of lu this way, and that may explain where much of the tough beef comes from. Several qualities of fertilizer are pro duced from animals, it all depending Upon the amount and quality of the in gredients used. Various vegetables and csranls require fertiliser of a cer tain strength, and while n certain qual ity will produce good results on one kind of vegetables it will destroy an other. Tho price per ton ranges all the way from twenty to thirty-live dol lars. Tho product of this ono plant is disposed of direct to the farmers and about oue thousand tons are sent out annually. Tho works are capable of turning out three tons per day. The present executioner of horses has been identified with tho works ever since they were established, about fourteen ycar ago, and during that time it is es timated that ho has put to death three thousand animal. . TERRAPINS AS PETS. Easily Tamed and May Bo Taught to Do Certain Trlctia. The latest fad in the way of domes tic pets is the diamond-backed terra pins. They can bo found now in artists' studios, men's smoking-rooms, and even in tho ladies' boudoirs, says the New York World. The terrapin ia a most convenient pet so; far as feeding him is concerned. You can train him to eat almost any thing in the way of meat, or if you do not give him anything to eat at all for a year or so it does not ftppour to dis tress him to any great t- r .;. It only increases his wtikofuh:e...s tiul activity. At first he will only feud ia water, out! will eat nothing but hard or soft shell crabs and clams. Ho is especially foad of the former, After a time, however, as he becomes more, domesticated, he will readily devour cooked beef or mut ton chopped up fine, and will learn to take it out of your hand. When first introduced into the domi cile the diamond-back is very restless. He seems to wunt to investigate every possible corner of tho house. But as soon as ho has taken tba bearings of his quarters ho subsides into a condi tion of quiet content and will allow yon to try to teach him tricks. Everybody who possesses a diamoud-bncit speaks of the readiness with which they ean be tamed. - A well-known New Yorker declares that he has succeeded in teaching his terrapin to do the da use du ventre. But this cannot Iks verified. EXTRAORDINARY VITALITY. Tha LongeTlty of Toad u;:.l irnge gald ta It KurprUlU);. The persistence of life in frogs is very long.

Ia both cases the animals in question had been for several days in the condition of cadavers. Toads have been shut up in blocks of plas ter, and then, having been deprived of all air except what may penetrate through the material, and of all sources of food, resuscitated several years afterward. The question pre sents one of the most curious problems that biological science has been called on to explain. The longevity and vital resistance of toads are surprising. Be sides the experiments we have cited, nature sometimes presents some already made, and vastly more astonishing. Toads are said to have been found in rocks, Such cases are rare, but it would be as unreasonable to doubt them as to believe in some of the mirac ulous explanations that have been made of the matter. The phenomenon is marvelous, it is true, but it is sup ported by evidence that we are not able to contest; and skepticism, which is incompatible with science, will have to disappear if rigorous observation shall confirm it , ' MILITARY SYSTEM OF GERMANY The Country That Uaa Bean the TFar School of Europe. : The military history and successes of Germany have easily made her the war school of Europe, and the scientific de velopment of the military art, to which she is indebted for the overthrow of Austria and France in her later wars, has compelled the others to follow her example and imitate her methods even to the particulars of organization and equipment, though unable probably to rival her in systematic thoroughness of preparation and sustained attention to detail. The system evolved by Germany and now substantially common to .all the continental states, says the North American Review, is as a whole simple enough, and has for its practical object the conversion, so far as may be, of the entire nation into a military body with the largest amount of training that the finances and other public exigencies will permit. The controlling principles may be summarized as follows: 1. Liability to service universal, and actual service compulsory at the discretion of the state. 2. The thorough training and maintenance under arms in readiness for immediate service of as large a force as practicable. 3. A secure simplicity and perfection of organization and equipment in every particular, large and small. 4. The formation, as rap idly as may be, of a regular reserve, from which the active ranks can be at once expanded from a peace to a war footing with fully trained, men. 5. The formation and partial training of a militia, which in the absence of the regular troops is to occupy garrisons and forts, construct defenses, maintain order at home, and supply the waste of war by filling vacancies in the field. 6. The enrollment of every citizen into a force that may be levied en masse in case of invasion. 7. Careful study and solution, in advance, of every possible military complication in order that prompt and concerted action shall fol low a declaration of war. THINGS THAT GO ASTRAY. A Peculiar Story About tha World'! . ; ' Fair. The annals of "things that go astray" contain no parallel to the case which, appropriately enough, reaches us ifrom the United States, says the Grimsby (England) Express. -It appears that eighteen months ago the Spanish government sent for an exhibition at the Chicago world's fair a priceless col lection of objects connected with Columbus and the memorablo voyage of discovery which first placed the new world upon the map. But the collec tion never reached; the exhibition authorities, and it is not the least as tounding detail of an astounding story that this exhibit of surpassing inter est was never missed. , All through the summer no one asked inconvenient questions about the missing curiosities, and in due time the world's fair closed. A fortnight ago a United States war ship arrived at Cadiz to return the rest of the exhibits. Then the outcry arose: Where was the Columbus col lection? No one knew anything about the matter on board ' the vessel, there fore warm expostulations were ad dressed to the United States authorities at Washington by the Madrid foreign office. The affair of the missing an tiquities was well on the way toward causing an international misunder standing when, Eureka! the precious case of objects came to light in a bonded warehouse, where they had been carefully stowed away, not only, from dust and damp, but also from the eyes of the millions who went to Chi eago last year and to whom they would have proved one of the most interesting features of the show. That such a blunder could have been possible cast a flood of light upon the chaos and dis order which reigned supreme by the snores oi unto calumet during last summer. New l!e for Indian Grata. Sweet grass has been put to a new use. It is woven and made into cush ions in which pins can readily be stuck with ease. In this guise it be comes a useful as well as decorative object. Those seen so far are quaint in the extreme. : There is a small doll which makes the foundation, and the woven grass becomes her gown. This last is somewhat elaborate and shows bows and ribbons enough to stand for the model of a winter fashion plate, , but all are made from the grass. The ample skirt is stuffed, and so the cush ion is formed. The whole hangs upon the wall and is very charming, at the , same time that it holds pins in safety and by the score. Metal aud Earthenwara Nolderad. A new electrolytic method of great use to plumbers is the joining of metal to earthenware. Tho earthenware should have an unglazed surface, but if otherwise the glaze is removed and , the surface coated with plum bago and placed in an electro lytic bath, thus obtaining a metal lic coating. To this coating the TFad pipe can be soldered in the or dinary way by means of a plumber's "wiped" joint. This process, it is said, will prolably supersede the use of rubber sleeves, washers and putty, with which imperfect joints have often been associated.

Iron-making is a kind of cookery on a huge scale. The earthy impurities must be "roasted" or melted out from the iron ore; the necessary carbon must then be properly mixed in from the fuel, or the unnecessary carbon burned out. This is of manufacture, says R. B. Bowker in Harper's Maga zine. A wrought-iron bar or plate is always obtained from a puddle ball, an aggregation of grains of iron in a pasty, semi-fused condition, inter spersed with a greater or lesser amount of cinder or slag. Under the powerful action of the rolls the grains are welded together, and a large part of the cinder is squeezed out, but enough remains interposed between the iron granules to prevent them from welding thoroughly and forming a homogeneous mass. The welded lumps elongate under the process of rolling, and the resulting bar resem bles a bunch of iron fibers or' sinews with minute particles of slag inter spersed here and. there. . Such ; iron varies in resistance according , to whether the power is applied with or against the fiber. Steel is the result of a fusing process. It may be crucible, Bessemer, or open-hearth steel, but in all cases it has been cast from a thor oughly melted and fluid state into an ingot mold, where it solidifies and is ready for subsequent treatment, such as hammering or rolling. The slag j being lighter than the steel, it rises on top of the melted bath, and does not mingle with the metal, which remains clean and unobstructed, and, after be ing cast into the mold, cools into a crystalline homogeneous mass in which no amount of rolling can devel op a fiber. Thus steel possesses a structure more regular and compact than wrought iron. Its resistance to strains and stresses is more equal in all directions, and its adaptability to structural use is vastly increased.
