Ono of tlio tnoat dolicato Burglcal op nttioiis over performed in Sau Fran- dseo was that to which A. Daehm.a luitiont nt tlio City and County hospital, was snbjetted recently. The operation wuo rt-iuarknblo in that an endoscope, or Email i loctric light, was used during the process. This was thrust into tlio tho racic cavity, nud by its illumination the action of the heart and lungs was plain ly visible. This is tho first caeo re ported on the Pacific coast where the electric endoscope was used in diflicult mtrgery with beueficial results. Baolaii was nfiiictcd with nu abscess, which had formed in tho pleural cavity tnd ut tacked tho loft lung. Tho opera tion v.ms an exceedingly dangerous ono, and in order not to shock tho patient no mention of tho intention of the physi cians was mado to him. The sick man was quickly nntestho tized nud tho inflated breast was exposed fo view. A discoloration on tho left side showed that tho trouble lay under the tissue in that direction, and Dr. El lin wood began operations at onco by making two deep incisions crosswise, from which tho blood spurted in Htrcams. Soveral of tho larger blood vessels were necessarily cut, but these were quickly ligatured, with Dr. Stillmnn's assistance. Tho flaps of flesh wero laid to ono side, exposing the third rib to view. This rib was resected for three inches, and when it was cut away a dark and bloody opening was revealed, through which tho thoracic cavity and tho space be tween tho lungs could bo seen. Dr. Hirschfelder inserted tlio endoscope through tho opening in Baehiu'n breast and tho light was turned on, illuminat ting tho interior of tho cavity with re markablo distinctness. Tho heart worked slowly, owing to tho effect of other. Tho aorta dilated and fell with every heart beat. Tho lung was also plainly visible. During tho ono hour and a half consumed in making tho operation tho action of tho heat t was distinctly visible, and tho unusual sight was tho subject of much comment upon tho part of tho operators and spectators. When tho process was completed and overy vestige of pus removed, tho endo scope was withdrawn and tho opening in Baohm's breast closed. The opera tion was a highly successful ono in evory particular, and Baehm's condition shows that ho ia gaining strength. Electric ity. Showing One's Grulltudo. To an American tho sight of men kiss ing each othor is an odd ono, yet tho prnctico is common among most of the pcoplo of continental Europe. Captain Sargent, of tho steamship Indiana, re cently went to Libau, in Russia, with his ship laden with flour for famine suf ferers. Of courso tho Russians wero very gratoful for tho food given by Americans to their countrymen, and thtiy wished to show their appreciation. When Captain Sargent returned homo from his trip ho was nccosted by a ro portor. "What has becoruo of your beard, cap tain?" for a long growth of brown whis kers adorned his chin whon ho sailed. "Well, now, beliovo mo or not, but 1 havo not put a pair of scissors to that beard sinco I loft. What has happened to it? Why, it was kissed away. Talk about your gratitudo tho Russians aro tho pooplo for showing it, 1 tell you! During tho four days 1 was in Libau 1 was huggod, embraced and kissed until my bentd actually fell away. "Why, tho Russians would coma up to mo and I would put out my hand to shako them, but no, siroo that wasn't good enough for them. Plumb into my arms they would como, thoir arms would go around my neck, and for tho noxt two minutes there w.ts n catch-as-catch-can kissing match." Harper's Young Peoplo. Incident at n Illsiinp's Consecration. A touching incident marked the con secration of Bishop riorstnianuin Phila delphia. At tho closo of his Bormon Archbishop Ryan addressed a fow words personally to the bishop-olect. "May you bo over, as you havo been in tho past, tho sontinol of tho sanctuary," ho said. "You aro soon to givo us all your blossing, but first of all lot tho first blessiug of your episcopacy bo be.stowod upon your mother, who ia present Jioro to-day, nnd is justly proud of her son." Evory moinbor of tho vast congrega tion gazed expectantly at Bishop lloret mann, who, after tho miter had boon placed upon his head, passed down from tho altar and paused in tho center aisle boforo tho first pow. A tall, gray hairod woman roso to rocoivo his first blossing. Tho blossing douo, sho throw her arms impulsively about his neck and kissed him.

An Jintzlneer ISacHpr "It is wonderful how a limn will ro hiember liitlo things in timo f thinner nnd how a llaph of memory often num u man's life," said T. E. Whiteaides tho other day to a reporter. -Mr. Whito Bldes is an engineer on tho Panhandle nnd was in charo on the day of tho fatal i.-ock in tho cut near Bnrgetts town some timo ago. Ho gives the fol lowing graphic description of tho wreck, nnd how ho nnd his fireman wero saved from death: "Wo wore going nttho rate of twenty five miles an hour, and just ns wo en tored the cut I saw the runaway cars coming toward us. To shut off steam anil whistle down brakes was tho work of a momont. 1 was off my seat and on iho step tho next second. All this timo my mind was nt work. To jump meant death, for tho sidosof the outwore steep nud to jump against it would only result in lx'iug thrown under tho train. 1 re momborcd n plight depression about tho center of the cut, which if we reached before wo struck tho oncoming cars wo might jump and be huvlhI. it was the last desperate chance, for to rido into tho wreck meant sure death. I was on the enginu step nnd my fireman on tho tender. Wo had not exchanged a word. Wo did not have timo, for it was all over iu a fow seconds. "Tho depression was reached and wo both jumped together and landed in the hollow, plowing up tho ground with our noses. Tho noxt instant the crash came. 1 got up and walked about ton feot, but had to givo up. The jar was too much for mo. 1 cscapod with badly sprained ankles and bruises, while tho firoman had nn arm broken." Said ho in con elusien: "1 havo been on the road for eleven years aud that was my first so rious wreck. I had often noticod that little hollow in passing nnd thought it might como iu handy someday." Pitts burg Dispatch. A "Corridor" Train in Kugland. Tho Great Western Railway company has now a new train running between London and Birkenhead, which is called tho corridor train. Its distinguishing featuro is a corridor along tho side, run ning tho whole length of tho train (240 foot), with flexible gangway connection between the carriages. As the train is designed for long distanco journeys, with fow stoppages, toilet rooms aro provided for all classes of passengers. In each class of carriago thero is a largo smoking saloon provided, and special compartments are set apart for ladies adjoining the ladies' toilet rooms. Tho train is warmed throughout by steam from tho locomotive, the supply of which can be regulated by the guard. To call tho guard in caso of emergen cy, nn electric bell is fitted iu tho brake van, which may bo rung by pressing an ordiuary push button in each compart ment throughout the train. In addition thero is tho cord outside tho carriage, which on being pulled stops the train almost instantaneously. Tho train, which has been dpsigned by Air.

"You li"ar n great deal about aanilraf'.'jiig" just now," eaid a Cen tral rtti.' detective "Tho 6aud bag is no ! .ngor used by a profes sional criminal; there avo bettor ways of robbing a man than by knocldng him ovor tho head with a weapon which, if found on tho pos Bessor, would mako it protty bard for him to oxcapo tho rough hand of tho law. "Tho sandbag, anyhow, is an an ciont weapon. If tho pounding into insensibility of a victim is desired a 'billy' is far handior than a sandbag. Nowadays tho crooks carry as few evidences of their calling as possible. A vnst number of them go entirely unarmed. As for tho highwaymen, many of them havo neither rovolvei nor 'billy' when pursuing their pecul iar business. "Tho old, old system of garroting is tlio favorite method in vogue, and this is invested with certain modern details. Tlio victim, instead of being pounded into insensibility and hurt so as to bo iKjrmanently disabled, is left with a temporary feeling of dis tress, wliilo tho safety of the high waymen is its nasured 03 it was under tho old plan. Tho modern highway men travel in twos, threes or foura. Usually thoy go hi pairs. It is lato at night, we'll say. A streot is al most deserted. A pedestrian hurric3 along. Ho sees ahead of him two men, walking slowly, almost side by side. "As tho fellow in a hurry nears them they separate to let him pahs between. When you ceo this movo made you can gamble tho fellows aro highwaymen. As our friend passes between them the man nearest him throws an aim deftly under his chin, and tho grip on his throat provents any outcry. Tho other fellow punches him in tho bread basket. You know how a man feels whon ho's hit in tho stomach. In a minute thoy havo rifled his pockets, havo disappeared, and tho victim, dazed and distressed, is lying on tho ground recovering from the shock. "With an occasional variation to suit circumstances tins is tho favorite method of tho highwaymen. A fow try tho plan of holding a revolver under a man's nose. Some still use tho 'billy,' sneaking up to their vic tim from behind. But thoy aro bunglers. If two men aro walking ahead of you, or are coming toward you, and separate to let you pass be tween them, don't pass. Take tho middle of tho street and bo prepared to run. "When highwaymen travel in fours they work this way : The quar tet stands at a corner waiting for a victim. They see him in tho distanco approaching. Two of tlio crooks walk ahead. Tho pedestrian, uncon scious of danger, walks after them. Behind him fall in thoother two rob bers. Tho man is surrounded two crooks half a block ahead of him, two half a bloek behind. This procession is kept up till a favorable spot is reached. The men ahead slacken their pace. Tho men lxjhind hasten. Tho victim is hemmed in. Tlio chances aro that ho will meet with violence, for these fellows aro des perate. They use a revolver or 'billy and drag their victim into an alloy if ono ia near. It is a bad trap to fall into. "A man who is held up generally doesn't caro about tho valuables he loses so much ns about tho slugging. Some lughwaymon aro unnecessarily brutal; the expeit resorts to no need less violeiico."

EEEECrS-M PSiijiSf Electrifying Seeds. Dr. Leicester, of Bristol, England, has been studying tho growth of seeds in earth artificially electrified. A box threo feot long by nearly threo wide was filled with choico soil. At ono end a zinc plate and nt the other end a coppor ono wero placed, and wero united outsido by a coppor wiro. They woro about ono foot square By tho chemical action on tho zinc plate, a current passed through tho earth toward tho copper plate, and returning by tho coppor wire mado a circuit. The box was thu3 a very simple cell or battery. Seeds were sown in tho soil be tween tho plates, and thoir growth was much moro rapid than that of similar seeds planted in a similar box, but ono without tho metal plates. Similar experiments mado with glass tanks filled with soil show sim ilar results. Hempseed,"sown in an electrified glass tank, was fully an inch high beforo any sprouta could bo seen in unelectriiied earth. It was found, too, that if tho doctor watered tho soil with a littlo very dilute acetic acid tho growth was much quicker in tho electrified soil. Now York Ledger. A Unique Appeal for Mercy. Ex-Governor Taylor tells a story of how ho saw a man como before tho governor of a state with a rude fiddlo a poor convict had fashioned with his pocketknifo and sent to tho custodian of the pardoning power as his only appeal for mercy. Christ mas evo was approaching, and away up in tho mountains stood a little cabin. Tho fire on tho hearth was almost gone. Tho little children, ragged and unfed, clung about a weeping and disconsolate mother, and tho day which should bring peaco and joy to all promised only sorrow and wretchedness. Tho governor received tho simple, rough fiddle, which was a moro elo quent plea in its maker's behalf than any human tonguo could have mado. Tho records wero looked up, and on Christinas day thero was rejoicing in a littlo homo ovor a husband and father restored to his family. Louis ville Courier-Journal. Celluloid. Culluloid, tho composition of which was long kept secret, has for some years been largely employed for im itating articles mado of horn, shoU, ivory and oven marble. It has the imnionso advantage that it can bo wolded, melted, molded and shaped without difficulty, and it is for this reason now largely employed for tho manufacture of walking stick han dles, umbrella handles, piano keys, etc. It has also been used for mak nig rulors, set squares and other sim ilar instruments of precision, for it has been shown that tho expansion of this substance is much moro regu lar and uniform than that, of wood, and that errors previously unavoida ble can bo eliminated by its use. This industrial product, now indis pensable for a number of articles of everyday use, is simply mado up of nitro-cellulose, camphor and water. Montreal Star. Old Comical Pictures.
