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.

An Old Lady's 880 In liol.l uu Which Khe
Lout V 10.000.
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

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

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

probably cai.io the i.ar.io of tho vehicle.
Tho average rate of fare was six cents

"The two hundred Snd seventy-two
miles from liultimore to Wheeling were
first made in four dn vs, with nMitlv i

afterward reduced to fifty hours by the
old Eclipse line, established by James

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.

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.

have been shut up in blocks of plas

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.

FROM THE ORE,
Seme of the Processes in Steel and Iron
Manufacture..
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.
