THE WAR ON DISEASE.
Ko Prediction Too Extravagant in
Light of Recent Events.
DPw FUSTS HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
An Automatic Contrivance for Bringing
Down Kunaway Horses.
SEW WAT. OP ESLAKGIKG THE LUNGS
rmxFABED FOB TBI DISrATCB.l
Dr. Austin Flint about two years aco
published an article on "A Possible Revo
lution in Medicine," in which he said:
"The science and practice of medicine and
surgery are undergoing a revolution of such
magnitude and importance that its limits
can hardly be conceived. Lookine into the
future in the light of recent discoveries, it
does not seem impossible that a time may
come when the cause of every infec
tious disease will be known; when all such
diseases will be preventable or easily cura
ble; when protection can be afforded against
ail diseases, such as scarlet fever, measles,
yellow fever, whooping cougb, etc, in which
one attack secures immunity from. such con
tagion; when, in short, no constitutional dis
ease will be incurable and such scourges as
epidemics will be unknown."
It would certainly seem that this predic
tion is on the eve of verification. Dr. flint
now returns to tbe subject, and reviews the
ground covered by tbe Koch experiments,
which are supposed to be in course of con
tinuation and extension for the purpose ot
finding r. cure for typus and typhoid, scarlet
lever, measles and diphtheria. It is possi
ble tbat the line of research to be adopted
will be in the direction of finding a special
poison, produced by micro-organisms pecu
liar to each infectious disease, which will
act upon these micro-organisms and the dis
eased parts as the curative lymph has been
found to act upon tubercle bacilli and tuber
culous tissue.
I Based on this supposition, Dr. Flint
hazards another speculation as to develop
ments in medicine that may soon be looked
for. It is shown to be possible tbat in the
scar luture many curative lymphs will be
discovered, each produced by tbe special
micro-organism of a particular disease. It
will not, considering what has recently
been accomplished by Dr. Koch, be too
much to expect that these agents will
promptly arrest the different diseases to
which they are applicable. For example,
the typhoid lymph, the diphtheritic lymph,
the lymph for measles, that for scarlet
fever and so on, will promptly arrest these
diseases and save patients from the degenera
tions and the accidents which are liable to
occur when morbid processes are allowed to
run their course; and convalescence will be
prompt, because the diseases will not have
produced damage which can be repaired
only bv time. "Truly," Dr. Flint says,
"this would be a revolution in medicine,
and it now seems to be impending."
Separable Ocean Steamers.
Among tbe great industries that are grow
ing ut in the heart of our continent is the
building of ships, and a new era in the
ship-building business of this country has
been marked by the construction for our
coast carrying trade of our large steel steam
ers built upon island lakes 1,000 miles
from the Atlantic The difficulties in the
way of the successful carrying out of this
idea have been great from the fact tbat the
locks of the We Hand Canal cannot accom
modate vessels of any considerable length.
This obstacle has been overcome in a
novel mioner. It has been shown to be
quite feasible to cut a vessel in two, and pnt
tbe parts together again on reaching the
open sea, and furthermore, that the con
tingent expense of such a plan is more than
counterbalanced by the enormous saving in
building vessels in the heart ot the coal and
iron district of the countrv. A vessel con
structed on tbe shores of Lake Michigan
was recently floated down to sea in two
sections. The course was through tbe "Wel
land Canal, down Lake Ontario, and on to
Montreal, which was reached in 11 days.
The after section of the ship, contsining the
machinery, had steam in one boiler and
backed at the rate of 70 revolutions
per minute, steaming stern first, while the
forward section followed in charge of two
tugs. On arriving at Montreal the two sec
tions were placed on greased ways in a. dry
dock, and when the parts were. closed in
upon each other tbe butts came together so
closely that a knife blade could not be in
serted between the plates. The re-riveting
was accomplished with facility in the usual
way and tbe vessel was floated out of the
dock a complete hull, defying the eye of
any expert to tell where the junction had
been made. As an instance ot the propor
tions to which tbe shipbuilding industry at
the lake ports has attained, it may be men
tioned that the tonnage of the vessels built
on the lakes during the last two years is
only eight tons less than tbe aggregate of
ship-building on the entire seaboard of the
country, while the average size of the ves
sels built on the lakes was more than three
times that ot those built on the seaboard.
Tbe extent to which the traffic in iron, coal
and grain is increasing points to the prob
ability that before long the building of ships
in tbe lake ports will be developed into a
gigantic industry.
Developing the Lungs.
A device recently invented for the pro
motion ot deep breathing is likely to be of
value to flat-chested, round-shouldered and
weak-lunged people. If the means utilized
in this invention shall induce the full, deep
restoration of which so many people are ab
solutely ignorant, it will prove a welcome
addition to our hygienic appliances. The
device is a small belt or cord which encir
cles the chest at the point of its greatest ex
pansion, and a take-up mechanism to which
the ends of the belt or cord are attached.
The take-up mechanism consists of a coiled
spring, adapted to tighten the belt at inter
vals, and a train of wheels, by which
the speed of the spriDg in taking up
the belt may be rezulated. TJnon
the exhalation of tbe breath, alter
the full expansion of the lungs, the chest re
turns to the size natnral to it in ordinary
breathing, thus le-iving the belt loose. Im
mediately the take-up mechanism begins to
gather in the slack of the belt, which it
continues to gather, and finally it tightens
the belt about the chest, until the pressure
is uncomfortable to the wearer, nd compels
him to take another full inspiration, thus
lengthening the belt. This lengthening is
accomplished by the withdrawal of the strap
from the case, which act again coils the
spring. The spring in turn, when tbe
breatb is exhaled and the chest resumes its
natural size, again begins to gather up tbe
slack of the belt. These processes are con
tinued as long as tbe device is worn. It is
claimed tbat the use ot the device induces
full breaths at intervals, and thus naturally
strengthens and enlarges the lungs and
chest.
Device for Stopping Runaways.
An ingenious contrivance has been de
vised which, when attached to a vehicle,
will stop a runaway horse or speedily arrest
a vicious or frightened animal. It consists
of a removable sleeve which acts in con
junction with a central pulley and side
leTers, which are under the immediate con
trol of tbe driver, and by which an instant
rearward revolution of the central pulley
can be effected. A substantial band,
preferably of leather, is secured around the
central pulley and extends lorwardly, its ex
tremity having lateral straps attached to it
and also to the bits of the horses, so that the
revolution in a direction away from the
horses will shorten tbe band and pull the
heads of the horses downward and rearward
in a forcible manner, throwing the animals
upon their haunches and quickly arresting
their forward movement. Provision is also
made for automatically locking the central
pulley, so that tbe tension of the hones will
cot be removed if they back up. This pres
sure, however, can be readily, removed by
the driver's pressing with his foot on the
treadle when it is desired to control a team
of fractious horses with trammeled heads.
Reform in Railway Construction.
Oberlin Smith, in summarizing the vari
ous elements which are likely to enter into
the coming reform in railway construction,
says that tbe locomotive is probably destined
to be supplanted by electro motors attached
to the car axles; the weight of even the
lightest cars, supplemented by that of the
passengers, being ample for tractive pur
poses. -The speeds attainable would be per
haps two or three times greater than can be
reached with the present car of Juggernaut
as it pulling machine. In regard to the actual
tightening of the cars themselves, it is possi
ble that luture designers may, after per
sistent study and experiment, put into th'e
best possible shape, for strength and light
ness, some combination ot steel, alumiuu j,
india rubber, leather and paper whichwill
make a more scientific car than the joint
product of the foundryman, coaih builder,
house carpenter and upholsterer that is at
present in use. Electric cars are now run
ning with a total dead weight per capita of
less than 600 pounds when but half loaded.
There can be no question about the practi
cability of reducing this weight to COO
pounds, and it seems probable that, with the
refinements of construction above indicated,
we may at sometime get these figures down
to 400 pounds or lower. If it shall prove
practicable to use rubber tires upon the
wheels we may expect, not only very high
speeds, but an almost ideal smoothness of
motion. We shall then look back, Mr.
Smith says, to the railway car of to-day and
find that its construction and action com
pare with those of the new vehicle somewhat
as a navvy's wheelbarrow compares with a
lady's tricycle.
Economy in Cookery.
There is no process of cooking which re
quires so much care aad is so ofteu neg
lected as boiling. This is tbe most extrava
gant method of cooking any meat if the
water in which the meat is cooked is not
utilized as stock, Of necessity no meat can
be boiled without losing some of its nour
ishing qualities and enriching the water in
which it is cooked. The French process of
braising, bv means of which meat is closely
covered and slowly boiled in a stock which
becomes gradually absorbed by the meat, is
tbe only one by which tbe meat does not
suffer actual loss. There should be a slight
ebullition at the edge of the pot, nothing
more. This ebullition should be kept up
steadily until the meat ir tender, and no
longer, as nothing is more injurious to any
boiled dish than Jo allow the boiling to stop,
or to cook it after it is done.
A Novel Door.
A novel door, specially intended for the
economy of space, has just been patented.
The door is an adaptation of the principle
of the roller-top desk and cover, and con
sists Of a series of slats about one and one
half inches wide and three-quarters of an
inch thick, joined together by wooden spin
dles, one revolving within another. In the
roller-top desk the slats are joined by .rib
bons of steei or canvas. When the door is
opened it is wound upon .a spiral drum at
top and bottom, and all is enclosed within
the door casing. A three-foot door winds
up in a roll seven inches in diameter. Or
dinarily a three-foot door occupies about 14
square feet in swinging, and the new rolling
door enables tbe builder to economize all
that space.
Tin From Dye Waters.
A prize has been given in France by the
Society for the Encouragement of National
Industry, for a process for recovering tin
contained in the wash ot water from silks
which have been treated with bichloride of
tin, for the purpose of giving weight.' By
adding mils: of lime to the water, and by
properly agitating, the tin settles down in a
few hours in the state of oxide, which can
be readily collected and disposed of.

GEN. SPINNER'S BODY
On the Way to the City of His Birth
for Interment. I
HE AkRAKGED HIS OWN FUNERAL.
Warner Miller Will Deliver the Address at
Bis Krqaest.
BOW A FAMOUS SIGNATURE WAS MADE
.New Yoek, Jan. 3. The body of Gen
eral F. F. Spinner, who died in Jackson
ville, Fla., arrived in Jersey City to-day
over the Pennsylvania Bailroad. Tbe
Adams Express Company had charge of tbe
body, which was transferred to the National
Express Company's office at Weehawken
lor transportation to Mohawk, N. Y. At
8:30 o'clock to-night the body was forwarded
to Mohawk, where the interment will take
place to-morrow at 2 P. M. Several or the
friends of the deceased accompanied the re
mains to their final resting place. Mohawk
is the birthplace of General Spinner.
The arrangements for the funeral at Mo
hawk were made by General Spinner him
self. THE TVOBLD-FAMOUS SIGNATURE.
The signature ot General Spinner is per
haps more familiar to the people of the
United State than that of any other man,
living or dead. In making this signature
the General stabbed bis old pen. with its
three points, down into the pudding-like
ink, which stuck to the bottom of the
broten-nosed pitcher, and proceeded to pile
it up in ridiculous little heaps on cross
angles. -The-'Jesuit of his piling was his
sicnature.'"' It yas considered a great tri
umph to secure the General's autograph.
This is what ha himself once wrote about
his wonderful signature:
I first practiced on It while In tbe Sheriffs
office, say, in lS35.Jused it while commissioner
for building the State Lunatic Asylum at Utlca,
In 183J, and as cashier and President of the
Mohawk Valley Bank, and lor franking while
in Congress. It w as brought to the highest per
fection while 1 was Treasurer.
AWAKENED BT AN IMPRESSION.
It is told of General Spinner that before
he began sleeping in the Treasury building
he was awakened in the night by a strong
impression that something was wrong in tbe
department Se lar'for a long time tossing
uneasily upon his bed and trying to close
his eyes and convince.bimself that it was a
mere freak of an Overtaxed brain; but it
would not be'driven away.
At last ab$ut' 2 .o'clock in the morning,
in order to assure himself that his impres
sion was at fault, be, arose, hastily dressed
and set out for tbe treasury. On his way
he met a watchman from the department,
hastening to arouse 'itim'with'tbe informa
tion that the door of one of the, vaults had
just been found standing wide. open. A
careless clerk, whose duty it was to close
and lock .the "doorhad" faJIed!jto perform
his duty tbat night, and the'watebman, in
going his rounpv ha'ddisebvered the ne
glect r , ,
WHEN BICHMOND FELL;
This incident is also characteristic of the
General: The news ot the fallof Richmond
was flashed ver' tbo wires, Teaching Wash
ington about 11 o'clock in the morning, and
just after the' daysbusineisiu thot Treas
urer's office' "ha3 fairly" begun. Xne Gen
eral hastily cami to the counter in tbe
cashier's room, and, in a voice fairly tremu
lous with repressed excitement, called out
so that all could hear the peremptory com
mand: "Put that cash into the vault, boys, and
get out from here as soon as you cant I
want you all to yell! We've got Kichmnndi''
No order was ever obeyed more quickly
or perfectly, and. in the tremendous shouts
of excitement and exultation. General Spin
ner's voice was heard, loud and clear, every
time.
SNAPPISH BUT AMIABLE.
General Spinner when Treasurer was an
object of personal curiosity to all sightseers.
He was bluff and even snappish at first ap
proach, but alter a little snarling he sub
sided into the most amiable of men.
He was an exception to the official class
in his hate of exclusiveness and his never
failing accessibilitv. While he was Treas
urer of the United States every afflicted soul
in tbe great establisment was given a cour
teous audience, and redress if it was possi
ble. SITTING BULL'S WAK-CLUB. t
An Ohio Editor With a Fondness for Belles
Is Now Its Frond Possessor.
The recent killing of Sitting Bull, the fa
mous Indian chief, recalls the fact that Mr.
Max K. Dickerson, of Shelby, O., editor of
the Shelby Dree Press,
is the proud possessor
ol this great chiefs pri
vate war-clnb, says tbe
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Mr. Dickerson secured
the club from EIroy
Post, a scenic artist
in the employ of the
Union Pacific Bailroad
Company, who received
it as a present from Sit
ting Bull himself sev
eral months ago. Mr.
Post was doing some
work for the railroad
company at the time in
and around Sitting
Bull'sheadquarters,acd
the chief took a great
liking tohim, but would
have nothing to do with
the rest ol the men, al
though there were six
in tbeparty. In return
for his kindness Mr.
Post painted lor Sitting
Bull two large pictures
Bitting SulVs

(FromaPDotoj:rpa.)of his two favorite po
nies, Dry Camp and Never Fret, which so
pleased the old chief that he said he would
like to present bim with something in re
turn for the compliment Noticing a large
war-club hanging up in the chiel's tepee,
Mr. Post said he would like to have it
Sitting Bull mentioned tbe fact that the
club was an old relic, had been in service
over 40 years, passed through numerous bat
tles, and because of its curiosity he would
give it to him.
The club is a vicious looking weapon,
about 214 feet long, with a buffalo horn
firmly secured in the club or heavy end, and
bears .the signs of having seen a large
amount of service. Mr. Dickerson has the
necessary credentials to provefconclusively
that tbe club was tbe only one ever used by
Sitting Bull, and that it is the one used by
this chief during his career. Mr. Dickerson
recently received two different communica
tions from the Smithsonian Institution, at
Washington, D. O., relative to tbe purchase
of the relic, but has not yet disposed of it
THE LAZY MAM'S PIPE.
All Be Has to Do Is to Press the Button, It
Does the Best.
New York Herald.
Tbe most curious pipe of tbe year is the
lazy man's pipe. As its name expresses,
this is a pipe requiring tbe minimum of ex
ertion to use it Naturally, it is of a some
what complicated design, consisting of a
tube to hold the tobacco, and a stem run
ning crosswise of this for the mouth. The
pipe is held by passing the two first fingers
of the hand through two rings, one on either
side ot the bowl stem, and the mouthpiece
being placed in the mouth, 'the pressure of a
small valve that lies iust under tbe thumb
sets the ingenious mechanism inside to work,
and the smoke is iorced automatically into
tbe month.
It is more than probable that this pipe
will be taken up by the medical profession
for use in throat and lung disease.

SCOOPS HOT APPRECIATED.
An Amateur News Vender Finds It Difficult
to Collect His Fay.
New York Tribune.
He opened the door of the editorial room
in a hesitating sort of way, and stood gazing
about him in uncertainty. He was dressed
in garments redolent of hay, and his boots
were badly spattered with yellow mud.
After a couple minutes of embarrassed hesi
tation, during which nobody seemed to take
any notice of him, he inquired, "Is is
this the place where you take the news?"
He was informed tbat it was.
"Well," he said, "I've got a little thing
Iwantertell you. .It's about a piece of
news that happened the day before yester
day, yil have it all to yerselves, ier I
promise I won't give it to no other paper.
I was there myself, an' seen it all. NYou bet
the people up to hum are go in' to stare when
they see it in print They don't know
cothin' about it, an'
"Gotothatraauatthe desk in the cor
ner." said the busy editor, "and tell him."
He approached the reporter's desk.
"I've got a blame nice "
'Well." interrupted the busy reporter,
"make it brief."
"Y' see," began the countryman, "I come
inter town with Mrs. Jackson tbe other
mornin'. She come in ter sell some apples. I
work fer her. You know Mrs. Jackson,
don't yer? She lives in the third honse to the
right across the Wesel bridge. It's a big
white house, with a farm around it I work
on the farm, an' "
"Well, what happened when you came
into town with her?" asked the reporter.
"Y' see, she was gittin' out of the wagon,
an' the horse gavo a sudden start, an' she
fell."
"Yes."
"An' she conld hardly stump around when
she got up, an' when she got, home her ankle
swelled up, an' she had to lie in bed all day
yesterday. She brought it down pretty well
with arnica, an' she's up an' she's around
to-day; but she looks pretty bad, an' she
won't be herself agin for some time."
"All right Thank yod," and the re
porter tnrned to his work.
The countryman did not move.
"Will y' put it in?"
"Yes."
' Silence for a minute.
"I kin give y' lots more news. I come
inter town three times a week,an kin tell y'
lots oi things that happens up our way. Old
Si Jenkins fell off a load o' hay the other
day, an' got a big bump on the back of his
head. Si's a church member, but be swore
nwiul that time. I guess y'd better not put
that in, though. Si might know who tole
yer, an' then he'd be inter my wool."
Silence. Then
"Well?" from the countryman.
"Well? What is it now?" asked the
reporter.
"Ain't that news wuth something? I
ortergit the price of a sqnare meal, any
how." Silence again.
"l Kin bring yer lots of news. I've got
away. But I kin let you know in a few
days. By goshl it'll make a lively time up
our way when that there gits in print."
. "The business office is downstairs," said
the reporter. "We don't pay for anything
here. Take this note to the clerk at the
desk downstairs." And he handed the
countryman a note written in shorthand,
which the clerk downstairs couldn't under
stand. The man then left the reporter and went
downsta'rs to the busy clerk. Tbat
lunctionary bad a hard time setting rid of
him, but finally convinced bim that tbe
only proper course would be to make out a
formal bill for his services, and leave it to
be acted upon by the Finance Committee of
the Board of Directors, who would meet
some tirm the following spring. .This rather
discouraged the countryman, and he went
away.
A BABE OLD INSTRUMENT.
A Costly Violin In the Hands of a Southern
Gentleman.
Hon. D. P. Wells, the representative from
Marion county, has in his possession one of
the finest and rarest violin's in the country,
sajsthe Savannah News. It bears tbe stamp
of the far-famed Stradivarius and the date of
1716. These Stradivarius violins are so very
rare that one in perfect order recently sold
in Europe for $10,000, and they are eagerly
sought after by all violinists, but a genuine
one is seldom found. Mr. Wells does not
know the history of the violin bsfore it came
into his hands. He bought it from a tobacco'
hauler who came through the country with
acaravan of wagons from Virginia.
Since he bas had the instrument it has
been examined and played by many fine
judges of the points of a violin, and they
have all pronounced it a remarkably fine
specimen. He recently had it examined by
an expert, who pronounced it a genuine
Stradivarius. Its tone is remarkably strong
and sweet, and with the exception ot' a small
crack on one side it is in perfect order. Mr.
Wells says it is not for sale, but thinks that
an offer of $10,000, snch as was recently paid
for a SUadivarins abroad, might induce him
to part with it
