ala. The most common form of Ihe dia
ls consumption, and all men remem
ber the sensation which followed Ihe an-
nouncemenl by Trof. Koch, lhat he hop'
ed thai he had discovered a remedy. liut
tuberculosis kills thousands of babies
when It attacks them In Ihe bowels, and
ll cause, many men lo walk with
crutches. The disease Is protean In char
acter: there la scarcely a portion of the
body It may not Invade, and II kills
about one-lhlrd of all who die.
In order 10 understand Ir. Kdson'a dls-i
eovery. It Is nerrasary to remetnlier that
Pasteur and Koch discovered and eetab-;
Halted Ihe fact that germ diseases had aa
thHr ultimal. cause Ihe presence In the;
body of minute organisms, called germs, j
microbe, and th. like. Jt was not long
before tbesM) germa were cultivated, as It
was called. That Is. some germa from at
diseased person were transferred lo some
outllon. I nan moss, or some eminence
on which they would grow; placed In a
machine where the temperature waa
maintained at that of Ihe blood, and
there allowed to Increase and multiply
which they did with amaslng raldily.
These cultivated germa were Identical
with those In Ihe diseased person, aa waa
proved not only by the experiments with
guinea pigs, hut by the fact lhat many
of the .dentine men studying them have,
by accident been Innoculated with them)
and have died as the result.
Having the cultivated colonies, th. aol-
enttflo men have made many experiments.
They found disinfectants would kill these
germs. They found, for example, that It
a mixture of one-part of phenol or car
bolic acid, lo three thousand parts of
water were floated over a colony of germs
and left there for twenty-four hours, all
these germa died. Jt naturally occurred
lo them that If carbolic acid would kill
germa outalde the body. It would kill
them Inside; and the conclusion that If
they could kill all the germs In Ihe
body, they could destroy the cause of
the disease and thus cure the latter was
apparent. The experiment waa promptly
tried. The result waa aome of those In
whom these Injections were put, develop
ed abscesses at the point of Injection.
Far more, however, were poisoned by the
acid and Ihe Idea had to be given up.
It waa loo fascinating, though. Dedal.
of I'arla, made a mixture of one of the
acid lo one hundred of water, and put
ting In a little salt, continued the Injec
tions, getting from them a larger per
centage of cures.
Dr. Kdson had his attention directed In
this subject In the early part of !&. andj
he began the study of ralhollc arid. He
found Htadler, Merck. Ilrlrger, Balowskl
and other great chendsta agreed In de
claring thM phenol waa a normal con
stituent of the urine In man, the horse
and the cow. Aa whatever la In the urine
comes from the blood after It haa been
strained through the kidneys, this meant
phenol or carbolic ncld waa always In
the blood of man. Merck's figures were, I
In the urine of a healthy person, CM
grma of phenol lo Ihe litre; Pa'owskl d
dared that durlrs; disease this amount
rose lo LSSiS gri" per litre. In oiIit
words, nature hcrnolf Increosed the
amount of carbolic. In the blood over one I
thousand times aa soon as the person!
became alck. Yet, all observers acreel
carbollo acid could not be Intected Into
the blood without poiaonoua effects. I
In other works. Dr. Kdson had the
problem before him about aa follows:
Here la a auhstance, a known antiseptic
which will kill the cultivated germs;
not only present In the blood at all limes,
but Inrrrased by nature during disease.
hi'-h all men say cannot be Injected
without poisoning the patient. Why?
Dr. Edson answered his own question
by aaylng: "Because we have not yet
found Ihe right form or solution of It.
If w. find that wo can Inject."
He began the aearch and after a long
and tedloua experiment produced a fluid
which he calls Aseptolln. It Is perfectly
colorless, looks like crystsj, and smells
strongly of carbolic acid. It contains
176 per cent of carbollo acid, and to
every ounce of It there Is added one
hundredth of a grain of a new salt dis
covered by Dr. Edson during his work,
a salt called pllocarpln-phenyl-hytrovlde.
Th. Aseptolln Is Injected under the skin
and thus directly Into the blood. The
dose Is 100 minima or drops. Injected with
a hypodermatic syringe once In twenty
four hours.
Now, what happens after the InJeetidnT
If the total amount of blood In the'per
sorf be remembered it will be seen tbnt
after th. Injection the blood becomes a
liquid having one part of carbolic acid
to from 1200 to 1500 parts of blood. In
other words It Is a liquid from two to two
and one-half times aa strong with the
acid aa was the one to three-thousand so
lution which killed the cultivated germa.
The circulation of the blood applies this
cer nolle solution to every part of the
body many limes In an hour. Wherever
there Is disease and the germa which
cause It, that spot la being continually
washed with this carbolic solution In
which no germ can live more than a few
hours.
Tuberculosisconsumption Is a germ
disease being caused by what tire called
I hi" tulierclo bacilli. It. Edson discovered

WashliiKton. Feb. 10. ISM.
torla Chamber of Commerce, Astoria,
Oregon:
repairs of the steamer Corwln com-pe'-d
today. The vessel Is now at Se
attle, nnd has been ordered to search for
the llrltlsh ship Cadsow Forest.
The first movement to obtain relief for
this missing ship was made by the K. V.
'edge, of Astoria, which telegraphed tr
Ihe department and received the reply
that no vessel was available with which
0 make Ihe search. The Scandinavian j
'lenevolent Society, to which belonged
Ihe pilot on board the missing vessel,
then took the matter In hand, and author
ised the board of directors to prepare a
dispatch to the department at Washing
ton, to lie sent by the Chamber of Com
merce. President Wlnpnte sent the mes--ape,
thus fully cooperating with the so
ciety, which paid for the message. The
result is chronicled In the telegram re
elved yesterday.

Naval officers on duty at the, depart
ment who know what they are talking
about say lhat if the cost of the changes
In th. Texas doe. not exceed th.
government will eacnpe lightly. It Is
th. Intention of Secretary Herbert to put
the Texaa In a seaworthy condition, no
matter what the cost of the change may
be, and he will give order, to this effect
In the next few days.
It is learned today lhat the report of the
court of Inquiry which recently investi
gated the engineering department of the
New York i.avy yard vindicates the offi
cer, and subordinates against whom
charge, were tiled. The court found,
however, some small violations of the
regulations, and Secretary Herbert will
Issue within a few days an order to clear
up the regulations so as to prevent mis
takes In thHr construction In the future.
Lieutenant T. II. Stevena haa been
recommended for promotion to the grade
of lieutenant commander. Secretary
Herbert haa approved th. flnding. of the
board which examined him, and bis case
haa gone to the White House for execu
tive action.
Captain R. D. Evans, commanding the
j battleship Indiana, who directed the
practice wnn tne guns or mat vessel,
had an Interview with the secretary dur
ing his stay In Washington recently, and
said plainly that superposed turrets were
out of place on board thin. Captain
LKvans had been told, I understand, that
the board or inspection and survey, which
will Inspect th. Indiana on the isth Inst,
will remain on board the vessel for a
week and that It will pay particular at
tention to the battery location of the In
diana. It Is the Intention of Captain
Evans to fire the S-lnch guns of the ship
over the IJ-lnch turrets to demonstrate
lhat no ill effects will result from the
blast. He would have so tired the guns
during the recent practice had he not
been afraid that the wooden pilot house
would be destroyed.
It may be that aa a result of the report
of the board of Inspection and survey, in
case it is highly favorable to the Indi
ana's battery. Secretary Herbert will re
consider his determination with regaid to
double turrets and give the Kearsnrfre
and Kentucky batteries of the Indiana
type.
liida have been opened at the navy de
partment for furnishing forslngs for th
!S-inch and 8-lnch guns of the new battle
ships, the Keararge and the Kentucky.
Thi forgings will amount to about a mill
ion and a half pounds on both classes ot
BU'.is. In the 13-Inch class the Beth
lelirm Iron Works offered to furnish forc
ings at ti cents a pound, to be com
pleted In S3 days. The Mluvalc Steel
Works bid 27.5 cents a pound, completed
In im) days. In the S-lnch clo-is the Mld
ale company was the lowest Wilder, 2S
cents a pound, to be completed In 27c
days. The bid of the Bethlehem Ann in
this class was 2SCi cents a iiound, to be
.-ompleted In S30 days.
Hear Admiral J. O. Walker appeared
before the senate committee on coast ,le
fenses and presented many arguments In
.'avor of the Immediate carrying out of
tho plans for efficient coast defenses. He
urged that the work of building up an
Invincible navy go hand In hand with thi
construction of great defenses on land,
for by such combinations only could thif
'ountry, with Its enormous const line,
sucoessiuiiy wunstami attack by any
,,,,,1 maritime power.
Secretary Herbert has asked congress
or on appropriation of Ksn.uw) for the re
pair and construction of naval vescsels, to
ue immediately available. The original
appropriation for this purpose Is nearly
exhausted, only SSO.000 of It remaining for
work already or to be hereufter author
ised. Commander T. F. Jewell has been or
dered to relieve Commander Charles
O'Nell, in command of the Marhiehead;
Past Assistant Engineer W. M. I'srks, to

London. Feb. 10. A dispatch to the
Central News from Lisbon sty's that R.

the Portuguese colony ot India," has been
eoalled by the government. Goa has
been the scene c-t a revnit .i.nin.1 t,
Portuguese authorities, and a number of
ne troops mere joined the rebels. It
has been discovered that the telesrnms
ont to Lisbon by De Andrade telling of
Moody combats with and victories over
the rebels were apocryphal.
In his dispatches he mentioned officers
who were worthy of distinction for the
valor displayed by them In face of the
enemy. These officers, it tencio M
personal friends of the governor general,
ami ic naa oeen rurther proved that
neither they nor the troops have ever

his own salary from six to ten 'ronton of

Is likely that he will be Severely pun

nearly every Astorian, was one of the
best known men along "the water front,
ami his supposed drowning- haa been th.
cause of general sorrow. He haa been
in this city for over twanty-ona years,
having come here on the British ship
VIctersfNyansIa; B 1S74.:' He was" about
yesj-s of age, and his pleasant disposi
tion haa made for him a host of friends.'
As far as Is known, he has no relat.ve.
In this country. Although on some occa
sions he drank heavily, he was perfectly
sober when he left the city Satun y.
He haa been reported aa having been
drowned several times, some of his es
cape appearing almost miraculous, and
there are a few who trust he may still
how up. But Ihe general opinion is that
poor Johnny haa taken his last trip. It la
understocd the search will be continued

NELSON'S BOAT FOUND.
There la No Doubt aa to the Unfortunate
Man's Fate.
About 11 o'clock Iajt night Mr. Tcter
Grant Informed an Artcrlan reporter that
John Nelson'a boat had been picked up In
Pratrie Channel, above Tongue Point, by
a party of men from Camp No. L The
news of the find was brought to the city
last night by the steamer O. K.
When picked up the boat was bottom
side up, but uninjured, and an Investiga
tion proved that three oars were lashed
inside of her. Her mast and sail wer.
gone, as also waa the rudder. There Is
not the slightest doubt but that the beat
s that of Nelson, as It was -painted
white above, and green below, the water
line. The fact that the rudder waa miss
ing proves beyond a shadow of doubt
that such Is the case. The men afcoard
the O. K., not knowing of Nelson's dis
appearance, thought the boat that of
Mr. Grant and, when the steamer arrlv-
ed last night. Informed him.
It is now thought that Nelson set sail
after leaving the Bedfordshire, and lash
ed the oars to prevent them from rolling '
around in the boat. Being struck by a
q nil. the. boat capsized, and aa It was
Impossible ' to right her while the sail
was Bet, he cut It adrift. This accounts
ior the absence of the sail in the bout.
Owing to the coldness of the water. It Is
supposed the unfortunate man became be
numbed and his efforts to right the boat
were of no avail.- He no doubt held on
to the upturned Whitehall . until his
strength left him, and then, .letting go
his hold, found a grave In the waters cf
the Columbia.
Boatman to the last, he had lashed
but three oars, leaving the fourth con
venient in case of an emergency. A most
sad feature of his death Is the fact that
ho has made the same trip so many
Imcs. He was . an excellent boatman,
and the weather must have been very se
vere to have capsized the boat.
Inquiry lute last nlsrht nnd early this
morning failed to disclose the residence
of his relatives. If is thought he waa a
Swede, but It cannot be positively slated.
The news of his sad death was received
last evening by his friends with the most
profound sorrow. A friend of the unfor-
tunnte man stated last night that Nelson
hadn't an enemy In the world, and the
news of his death has caused more sor
row than any similar event for a long
time part. .
As the tide was flooding at the time he
is supposed to have been drowned, It la
thought the body will be recovered. His
boat is still above the Tongue, but wilt
probably be brought to the city today.
Any news as to the residence of his ,
relatives will be gladly received at thla
otlice. ' '
