W VTBP-r 12 THE PITTSBUBG- DISPATCH. SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1891. v''mrfF'' THE BUNDLE rnon the HTOCAEiAir or tioritz jokai. One of the celebrated inedical fpractition ersof-Pcsth, Dr. K , 'was one morning at an earlv hour oblieed to receive a verr' pressing visitor. The man, who ivas wait-, ing in the anteroom, sent in word by the footman that all delav would be dangerous to him; he had, therefore, to be received im mediately. The doctor hastily -wrapped a drcsine-e;owa about him. and directed the patient to be admitted to him. He found himself in thepresenctxd" aman' who was a complete stranger to hini, but' who appeared to belong to tne Desi-socjeiy, judging from his manners. On his pale face could be discerned trace ot great phys ical and moral sniff-rings. He carried nis risht band in a sling, and though he tried to restrain himelf, he now and then could not prevent a stilled sigh escaping from bis lips. "You are Tr. K ?' he asked in a low and feeble tone of voice. 'That is mv name, sir." "Living in the country, I have not the honor of knowing you except by reputa- He Carried iris Jlig?U Hand in a Sting. tion. But I cannot ay that I am delighted to make your acquaintance, because my -visit to you is not a verv agreeable one." Seeing tht the sufferer's legs were hardly able to sustain him, the doctor invited him to be seated. "J-ain fatigued Tt is a week since I had any sleep. Something is the matter with mv right baud. 1 don't know what it is whether it i a carbuncle or a cancer. At first the pain was slight, but now it is a continuous, terrible burning, increasing from day to day. I could bear it no longer, so I tnrcw myself into my carriage and came to you to beg jou to cut out the af fected spot, for an hour more of this tor ture will drive me mad." The doctor tried to reassure him by sav ing that he might be able to cure the pain with dissolvents and ointments, without re sorting to the use of the bistoury. t ".No, no sir!" cried the patient; "no plas ters or ointments can give me any relief. I must have the knife. I have come to yon to cut out the place which causes me so much sufferins." The doctor asked to see the hand, which the patient held out to him, grinding his teeth, so insulferable appeared to be the pain he was enduring, and with allimagina bleprccaution be unwound the bandages in which it was enveloped. "Above all, doctor, I beg of you not to heritatc on account of anything you may see. My disorder is so strange, "that you will be surprised; but do not let'that weigh with you." Dr. K reassured the stranger. As a doctor in practice he was used to see every thing, and there was nothing that could surprise him. What he saw when the handrwas freed from its bandages stupefied him neverthe less. Nothing abnormal was to s seen in it neither wound nor graze; it was a hand like any other. Bewildered, he let it fall from his own. A cry of pain escaped from the stranger, who raised the afflicted member with his left hand, showing the doctor that he bad not come with the intention of mystifying him, and that he was really sutTering. 'Vberc is the sensitive spot?" "Here, sir." said the stranger, indicating on the back of his band a point where two large veins crossed, his whole frame. trembling when the doctor lightly touched. it with the tip ot nis anger. "It is here that the burning pain makes itself felt?" "Abominablyl" "Do you feel the pressure when I place my finger on it?" The man made no reply, but his eyes filled with tears, so acute was his saffcring. "It is surprising! I can see nothing at that place." " or can I; yet what I feel there is so terrible that at times I am almost driven to dash my head against the wall." The doctor examined the spot with a magnifying glass, then shook his head. "The skin is full of life, the blood within. it circulates regularly, there is neither in flammation nor cancer under it; it is as healthy at that spot as elsewhere." "Yet I think'it is a little redder there" "Where?" The stranger took a pencil from his pocket book and traced on his hand a ring about the size of a sixpenny piece, and said: "It is there." The doctor looked in his face; he was be ginning to believj that his patient's mind was unhinged. "Eemain here," be said, "and in a few days I'll cure you." "'I cannot wait. Don't think that-I am a lEfldman, a maniac; it is not in that way that vou would care me. The little circle which 1 have marked with my pencil causes me in fernal tortures, and I ave come to you to cut it away." "That 1 cannot do," said the doctor. "Why?" "Because your hand exhibits no patho logical disorder. 1 see at the spot you have indicated nothing-more amiss than on my own band." "You really seem to think that I have gone out of my senses or that I have come nere to mock you,'" said the stranger, tak ing from his pockeibook a bank note tor 1,000 florins and laying it on the table. "Now. sir, ycu seo that I am not playing off any childish jest, aud that the sen-ice I seek of you is as urgent as it is important. 1 beg you to remove this part of my hand." "I repeat, sir, that for all the treasures in the world you cannot make me regard as unsound a member that is perfectly sound, and otill less induce me to cut it'withmy instruments." "Ana why not?" "Because such an act would cast a doubt upon my medical knowledge and com promise iuy reputation. Evcfybodv would say tbit you were mad; that I was dishonest in taking advantage of your condition, or ignorant in not perceiung it." "Very well. I will only ask a small service of you, then. I am iuvself capable of making the incision. I shall doit rather clumsily with my left hand, but that does not matter. Be good enough only to bind uji the uound after the operation."" It was with astonishment that the doctor Faw that this strange man was speaking seriously. He stripped off his coat, turned up the wristbunds of his shirt, and took a bistoury in his left hand. A second ljter aud the steel had made a deep incision in the tkiu. "Stay!' cried the doctor, who feared that 3iis rinticat might, through his awkward ness, sevor some important orgun. "Since you have determined on the operation, let inn .rt frt w i ' .Ai lt..W.U. He took the bistoury, and nlaeine In his left llflirl filP TITllt. lTlH t ln rtntlnnt begged htm to turn away his face, the sighe. of blood being insupportable to many per-, sous. ''liait" nocdlcs.

Tile open hand did aot even quiver in that of the doctor, and v. hen the circular piece -was removed, hi sighed profoundly, like a manexperi eiicinrui normous relief. "Nathlrsg bums you now?" fff OE LETTERS- "All has ceased," said the stranger smil- mjj. "The pain has completely disappeared) as if it had been carried away with the part excised. The little discomfort which the flowing of blood causes me, compared with the other pain, is like a fresh breeze after a blast from the infernal regions. It does me a real good to see my blood pounug forth; 'let it flow, it does me extreme good." The stranger watched with an expression of delight the blood pouringfrora the wound, and the doctor was obliged to insist on bind ing up the hand. During the bandaging the aspect of his face completely changed. It no longer bore a dolorous expression, but a look full of good humor was turned upon the doctor. "So more contraction of the features, no more despair. A taste for life had returned; the brow was once again calmed; the color found its way back to the checks. The en tire man exhibited a complete transforma tion. As soon as his hand was laid in the sling he warmly wrung the doctor's hand with the one that remained free, and said cor dially: "Accept mv sincere thanks. You have positively cured me. The trifling remunera tion I offer you is not at all proportioned to the service vou have rendered me; for the rest of my lifc'l shall search for the means of repaving my debt to you." The doctor would not listen to anything of the kind, and refused to accept the 1,000 florins placed on the table. On his side the stranger refused to take them bapk, and, observing that the doctor was losing his temper, begged him to make a present of the money to some hospital, and took his departure. K remained for several days at hiB town house until the wound in his patient's hand should be cicatrized, whicli it did without the least accident. During this time the doctor was able to satisfv himself that he had to do with a man of extensive knowledge, reflective, and having very positive opinions in regard to the affairs of life. Besides being rich, he occupied an important official position. Since the tak ing away of his invisible pain no trace of moral or physical malady was discoverable in him. The cure completed, the man returned tranquilly to his residence in thecountry. About three weeks had passed when, one morning at an hour as undulv as before, the servant again announced the strange patient. The stranger, whom K hastened to re ceive, entered the room with his right hand in a sling, his features convulsed and hardly recognizable from suffering. "With out waiting to lie invited to sit down, ne sank into a chair, and being unable to master the torture he was enduring, groaned, and without uttering a word held out his hnnd to the doctor. "What has happened?" asked K , stu pefied. "We have not cut deep enough," replied the stranger, sadly, and in a fainting voice. "It burns me more cruelly than betore. I am worn out by it; my arm is stiffened by it I did not wish to trouble you a second time and have borne it, hoping that by de grees the invisible inflammation would either mount to my head or descend to my heart and put an end to my miserable ex istence; but it has not done so. The pain never goes beyond the spot, but it is inde scribable! Look at my face and you will be able to imagine what ft must be!" The color of the man's skin was that of waxj and a cold perspiration beaded his forehead. The doctor unbound the bandaged hand. The point operated"- on was well healed; a new skin bad formed, and nothing extraordinary was to be seen. The sufferer's pulse beat quicklv, without feverishness, while yet he trembled in every limb. 'This really smacks of the marvelous!" exclaimed the doctor, more and more as tonished. "I have never before seen such a cae." "It is a prodigy, a horrible prodigy, doc tor. Do not try to find a cause for" it, but deliver me from this torment. Take your knife and cut deeper and wider; only that can relieve me." The doctor was obliged to give in to the prayers of bis patient. He performed the operation onoe atrain cutting into the flesh more deeply, and, once more, he saw in the sufferer's face the expression of astonishing 'relief, the curiosity at seeing the blood flow .from the wound, which he bad observed on "the first occasion. when the band was dressed the deadly Epallor passed from the face, the color re- Every Day Appeared Happier Than the One Before It. 'turned to the cheeks; but the patient no more smiled. This time he thanked the doctor sadly. "I thank you, doctor," he said. "The pain has once more left me. In a few days the wound will heal. Do not be astonished, however, to see-me return before a month 'has passed." "Oh! my dear sir, drive this idea from your mind." The doctor mentioned this strange case to several of his colleagues, who each held a diflcrent opinion in regard to it, without any of them being able to furnish a plaus ible explanation of its nature. As the end of the month approached, K awaited with anxiety the reappearance of this enigmatic personage. But the month passed and he did not reappear. Several weeks more went by. At.fcngth the doctor received a letter from the suf ferer's residence. It was very-closely writ ten, and by the signature he saw it bad been penned by bis patient's own hand; from which he concluded that the pain had not returned, for otherwise it would have been very difficult for him to have held a pcu. These are the conteuts of the letter: "Deak Doctor I cannot leave cither you or medical science in doubt in regard to the mystery of the strange malady which will shortlv carry me to my grave. "I will There "tell you the origin of this terrible malady. For the past week it has returned the thjrd time, and I no longer struggle with it. At this moment I am only able to write by placing upon the sen sitive spot a piece of burning tinder in the ,form of a poultice. While the tinder is burning I do not ieel the other pain: and h ii hat distress it causes me is a mere trifle by comparison. "Six mouths ago I was still a happy man. "was on good terms with everybody, and en .ioved all that is of interest to a man of five- rund-thirtv- 1 hud marrird ft vpar Thefn I married for love a young lady, handsome. wuu a cumvaiea mina, ana a nearc as good as any heart could be,,.who had been a gov erness in the house of a countess, a neigh bor of mine. She was fortuneless, and at tached herself to me, not only from grati tude, but still more from rea'l childish af fection. Six months passed, during which every dar appeared to bo happier than the one whicli had gone before. If, at times, I was obliged to go to Pesth and quit my own land for a day, my wife had not a moment's rest. She would come two leagues on the way to meet me. it i. was detained late, she passed a sleepless night waiting for me; and if by prayers I succeeded in inducing her to go and visit her former mis tress, who had not ceased to be ex tremely fond of her, no power could keep her away from her home for more than half n day; and by her regrets for my ab sence she" invariably spoiled the good humor of others. Her tenderness for me went so far as to make her renounce dancing, so as not to be obliged to give her hand to strang ers, and nothing more displeased her than gallautries addressed to her. In a word. I had for my wife an innocent girl, who thought of nothing but me, and who con fessed to me her dreams as enormous crimes, If they were not ot me. "I know not what demon one day whis pered in my ear: Suppose that all this were dissimulation? Men are mad enough to seek torments in the midst of their great est happiness. "My wite had a worK tame, tne drawer ot which" she carefully locked. I had noticed this several times. She never forgot the key and neverleft the drawer open. "That question haunted my mindl "What could she be hiding there? I had become mad. I no louger believed either in the in nocence of her face or the purity of her looks, nor in her caresses nor in her kisses. What if all that were hypocrisy? "One morning the Countess came anew to invite her to her house, and, after much pressing, succeeded in inducing her to go and spend the day with her. Our estates were some leagues from each other, and I promised to join my wife in the course of a few hours. "As soon as the carriage had quitted tho courtyard I collected all the keys in the house" and tried them on the lock ot the lit tle drawer. One of them opened it. I felt like a man committing his first crime. I was a thief about to surprise the secrets of my poor wife. My hands trembled as I icarefullv nulled out the drawer, and, one 'by one, turned over the objects within it, so that no derangement ot tnem mignt be tray the fact of a strange hand having dis turbed them. "My bosom was oppressed; I was almost stifled. Suddenly, under some lace, I put my hand upon a packet of let ters. It was" as if a flash of lightning had Eassed through me from my head to my eart. Oh 1 they were the sort of letters one recognizes at a glance love letters. "The packet was tied with a rose-colored ribbon, edged with silver. "As I touched that ribbon this thought came into my mind: Is it conceivable? Is this the work of an honest man? To steal the secrets of his wife! secrets belonging to the time when she was a young girl. Have I any right to extract from her a reckoning for thoughts she may have had before she belonged to me? Have I any right to be jealous of a time when I was unknown to her? "Who could suspect her of a fault? Who? I am guilty for having suspected her. The demon again whis- pered in my cars: But what if these letters date from a time when you already had a right to know all her thoughts, when you might already be jealous of her dreams, when she was already yours? I unfastened the ribbon. Nobody sW me. There was not even a mirror to make me blush for my self. I opened one letter, then another, and I read them to the end. "Oh, it was a terrible hour for me! "What was there in these letters? The vilest treason of which a man has ever been the victim. The writer of these letters was one of my intimate friends! And tho tone in which they were written! what passion, what love,certain, of being returned! How he spoke of "keeping the secret!' And all these letters dated at a time when I was married and so happy! How can I tell you what I felt? Imagine the intoxication caused by a mortal poison. I read all thos; letters every one. Then I put them up again in a packet, retied them with the rib bon, and, replacing them under the lace, relockcd the drawer. I knew that if she did not see me by noon she would return in the evening from her visit to the Countess as she did. She de scended from the caleche hurriedly, to rush toward me as I stood awaiting her on the steps. She kissed me with excessive ten derness, and appeared extremelv happy to be once again w lth me. I allowed nothing of what was passing within me to nppear in my face, we conversed, wo supped to gether, and each retired to our bedrooms. I did not close an eye. Broad awake, I counted all the hours. When the clock struck the first quarter after midnight I rose and entered her room. The beautiful fair head was there pressed into the white pil lows as angels arc painted in the midst of snowy clouds. What a frightful lie of na ture's is vice under an aspect 60 innocent! I was resolved, with the headlong willful ness of a madman haunted by a fixed idea. The poison had completely corroded my soul. I lcsolved to kill her'as she lay. "I pass over the details of the crime. She died without offering the least resistance, as tranquillv as one goes to sleep. She wns never irritated against me even when I killed her. One single drop of blood fell on the back of my hand vou know where. I did not perceive it until the next day, when it was dry. "We buried her without anybody suspect ing the truth. I lived in solitude. Who could have controlled my actions? She had neither parent nor guardian who could ha e addressed to me any questions on the subject, and I designedly put off sending the customary invitation" to the funeral, so that my friends could not arrive in time. "On returning from the vault I felt not the least weight upon my conscience. I had been cruel, hut she had deserved it I would not hate her I would forget her. I scarcely thought of her. Never did a man commit an assassination with less remorse than I. "The Countess, so often mentioned, was at the chateau when I returned there. My measures had been so well taken that she also had arrived too late for the interment Ou seeing me she appeared greatly agi-, tated. Terror, sympathy, sorrow, or I know not what had put so muoh into her words that I could not understand what she was saying to console me. "Was I evcu listening to her? Had I any need of consolation? I was not sad. At last she took me familiarly bv the hand, and, dropping her voice, "said" that she was' obliged to confide a secret to me, and that she relied on my honor as. a gentleman not to abuse it She had given my wife a packet of letters to mind, not having been able to keep tbem in her own house; and, these letters she now requested me to re turn to her. While she was speaking I sev eral times felt a shudder run through iny frame. With seeming coolness, however, I questioned her as to the contents of the letters. At this interrogation the lady" started, and replied angrily: " 'Sir, your wife has been more generous than you! When she took, charge of my letters she did not demand to know what they contained. She even gave me her promise that she would never set eyes on them, and I am convinced that she never read a line of any of them. She had a noble heart, and would have been ashamed to forfeit the pledge she had given.' " 'Very well,' 1 replied. 'How shall I recognize this packet?

" Yes, yes that is it! See! the knot I myself made has never been touched.' "I dared not raise my eyes to hers; I jlg; ; I Felt Like a Man Committing His First Crime. fearcd lest she should read in them that I had untied the knot of that packet, and somcthinc more. "I took leave of her abruptly; she sprang into her carriage and drove off. "The drop of blood had disappeared, the pain was not manifested by any external symptom; and yet the spot marked by the drop burned me as if it had been bitten by a corrosive poison1. This pain grows from hour to hour. I sleep sometimes, but I never cease to be conscious of my suffering. I do not complain to anybody; nobody, indeed, would believe my story. You have seen the violence o"f my torment, and you know how much the two operations have relieved me; but concurrently with the healing of the wound the pain returns. It has now attacked me for the third time, and I have no longer strength to resist it In an hour I shall be dead. One thought cousoles me it is that she has avenged herself here below. She will probably forgive mo above. I thank vou for all you have done for me. May Leaven reward you!" A few days later one might have read in the newspapers that S , one of the rich est landowners, had blown out his brains. Some attributed his suicide to sorrow caused by the death ot his wifo; others, better informed, to an incurable wound. Those who best knew him said that he had been attacked by monomania that his incurable wound existed only in his imagination.

It was announced to-day that a syndicate had been formed which agrees to guarantee to provide Union Pacific with all the money it needs to take care of its floating debt during the next three years. An institution will be named which will be empowered to negotiate loans for tho company, and if that Institution is unable to borrow money in the market it can call upon the syndicate, which stands ready to furnish funds at any time. Comprised iu the syndicate are Messrs. Gould, Sage, Dillon, Ames, Dexter, Atkins and Dodge. The first call was made on tho syndicate yesterday when it was asked to meet loans which had been called in on the company. It is said that so far this week the loans called in amounted to 81,000,000. Jav Gould is said to take an interest of 85,000,000 in the syndicate and Russell Sago 51,000,000. F0BOED BAYAsb'6 NAME.

TTS MornEBSwlll And Mrs. Winslow's 8ooth ing Syrup the best reniody for thoir children USE OF OIL AS FUEL. It Has Many Advantages Over Coal Upon Both tho Land and Sea. MAY BE ADOPTED FOR THE NAVY. The Liquid Article Is Especially Adapted for Smaller Men-of-War. USEFUL TO STTA3I PLEASURE TACIITS All difficulties in burning oil for the pur pose of generating steam have been sur mounted, and it only remains to be seen how far petroleum and the different oil re siduals will replace coal as fuel. For years past, says the Baltimore Sun. steamers' on the Caspian Sea have burned petroleum in their boilers, and no less than 32 large man ufacturing establishments near Chicago have recently adopted fuel oil, aided by the enterprise of oil producers of Ohio who have piped the oil from the wells to South Chicago, where it is stored in enormous tanks, sufficient to supply all demands in definitely in case of accident to the pipe line. It is not probable that oil will replace coal everywhere, but only in places where there are such special facilities for its de livery that the price is reduced to a min imum. Nor is the world's -supply of natural oil sufficient for all industrial and com- 'meroial demands. The total output of the oil wells of the world is about 7,000,000 .tons, and a very large part of this is trans-ferred-into lubricating oils, benzol, paraffin, etc, and is needed for other purposes than for fuel. Unless tho oil Biipply is very Inrgely increased by the discovery of new oil fields there will not be enough to meet the demand for oil fuel in steam naviga tion, which would alone be at least 0,000, 000 tons of oil the equivalent of 12,000,000 tons of coal now used on the sea. IT MAY BE USED TOR TOBPEDO BOATS. Although oil may not be used for fuel ex cept in certain localities on land and sea, in the industrial and commercial pursuits, where its cost is the question of importance, there are certain tactical advantages in its use for war nurnoses that mav oomDel its adoption for torpedo boats and small cruis ers. Cost is not always considered in war. All danger from the storage and use of petroleum for fuel afloat may bo avoided by proper precautions such precautions, for instance, as are observed in the storage of gunpowder, high explosives and ammuni tion of all kinds. Accidents have happened on board the Caspian sea steameis, but they were all due to carelessness and could have been easily avoided. The tanks to contain the oil must be carefully constructed, so as not to leak, and open lamps must not be used in spaces where the explosive vapor of ,oils maybe expected. "Means must bo pro vided tor properly ventilating tanks that are empty and allowance must be made for the expansion of oil with a rise of temnerature. From the tanks the oil is fed to the furnaces by pumps through pipes, and the supply may be increased, diminished or shut off altogether by valves. Inside tho furnuco the oil passes from the pipes through a number of "sprinklers" l. e., nozzles con taining many small holes, through which the oil is forced in fine jets. Through an other series of holes surrounding the oil jets air is forced at a suitable pressure, the effect of which is to give an ample supply of oxygen, and thus the oil in this finely divided condition is burned completely. So complete is the combustion that there may bo no smoke or residual whatever. Experiments having been made abroad to demonstrate the feasibility o.f using petro leum for fuel in torpedo boats, the Naval Intelligence Office at Washington has taken up tho subject and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of fuel oil as..comparcd with coal for torpedo boats and men-of-war. THE -LOADISO IVILIj BE VERT UAriD. The advantages are: First The rapidity with which oil may .be taken on board. The Caspian steamers can take on board 800 to 1,000 tons of fuel wiL in from three to four hours. A torpedo 'boatj therefore, would take its 20 tons of jiquiu iuei iii-a lew minutes, auu a wjioio flotilla would require no more time than it takes to coal a single torpedo boat. Second Oil may be stored in parts of the PTehip that are unfit for other stores or ma terial, such as the double bottoms and keel Bpaces of men-of-war. And as the oil fuel will occupy less space, it may be possible to make engine rooms more spacious and con venient, especially in small ships. Third The diminution of the staff of stokers and of the physical fatigue of stokers. As the oil is sent from the bunkers to the furnaces by means of pumps, coal trimmers are not required. Only one stoker is wanted for each furnace to regulate the "sprinkler" and to keep the water at the right level in the boiler. The Caspian-! steamers only have one stoker and two bovs in each watch. The largest steamers would only require one stoker and four boys in each watch, or three stokers and 12 bovs altogether, whereas at present they require a staff of 60 men, or more, whoso wages J amount to a large sum oi money. Fourth The greater evaporative power, of liquid fuel. One pound of oil is equal to pounds of coal. This would enable a steamer to take a much smaller weight of fuel on board to cover a given distance, or to steam nearly twice as far with the same weight. Fifth The more perfect combustion of oil prevents the formation of residuals and smoke. Consequently ashes and cinders do not occur, and the furnaces need not bo cleaned nor the flues swept. The first cir cumstance is of the greatest importance with regard to torpedo boats, which gen erally have only one furnace, the grates of which, after a six hours' coal fire, are covered with clinker. It then becomes im perative to clean the grates if the same speed is to be kept up. SMOKE WILL-BE ABOLISHED. The abolition of smoke is also of great tactical'importance. The torpedo boat that 'does not betray itself by a column of smoke is very difficult to discover on the horizon, and will have a great adt antage in that it can easily .distinguish larger vessels by their smoke columns. In the case of liquid fuel forcing the fires will diminish the smoke. On the other hand, dense volumes of smoke will proceed from liquid fuel when the draft is shut off. It is necessary, therefore, to shut off the supply of oil aud keep the forced-air draft going nt full pressure when ever the speed is reduced. In this way a little oil only is burned, and the combustion of this little is complete. It is possible, therefore, to get rid of smoke uuder all cir cumstances with oil fuel by a proper ob servance of this principle. Sixth The improved ventilation of fire rooms, caused by the forced draft and the ndmixture of the air with the oil iu tho ' "sprinklers." The temperature of the fire- rooms 13 uracil iuwer muinuui cum, uqu uie Btokers are not compelled to exert them selves. Seventh The greater maneuvering capac ity of the engines which is attained by the possibility ol suddenly increasing, reducing or stopping the fires. In the case of coal fires, it it be desired suddenly to shut off the steam, the safety-valve must be opened and the steam wasted or the furnace doors must be onened. admitting cold air to the boilers. tinuch "to their injury. But with liquid fuel 'the hre can oe insuinwy exiioguisneu and instantly started by shutting or opening the valves in the oil pipes. Eighth Boilers last longer with liquid fuel, because it is not necessary to admit cold air to the furnaces, thus cooling them rapidly when the speed is to be reduced. Ninth The ease and exactness with which the oil can be measured when it is taken on board, and the rapidity of its consumption verified. Men-of-war are frequently embar rassed bythe difficulty ofesHmating the exact amount of coal remaining in the bunk ers, and the captain may not know what time his coal may give out. SOME OF THE DISADVANTAGES. On the other hand, there are certain diffi culties and disadvantages to be considered if oil is to replace coal ih navigation : First Oil tanks and supply pipes would have to be supplied at certain stations along the coast. These oil stations need not be so numerous as coal stations, however, because steamers burning oil need not replenish their fuel as often as if they burned coal. The cost of erecting and maintaining such stations, with pumping machinery, oil-tight tanks and trucks with pipes, by means of which many vessels may oe supplied at the same time, "would probably not exceed the expenditure on coal stations, which must be provided with sheds in good repair, landing jetties, tipping appliances, etc. Second The combustibility of oil might occasion an explosion in case of a shell bit ing the tanks. This objection, however, can be met by the statement that the oil can be easily stored below the water line, where it would be comparatively safe. Nor is it cer tain by any means tfiat oil in n tank will ignite if pierced by a shell. In case an oil tank, partially empty, is pierced by a shell, the water that enters will rise to the top. The oil remaining at the bottom may still-be drawn off and burned, and, although water may continue to flow in until it fills the tank, the buoyancy of the ship will be in creased rather than diminished, because water is lighter than oil. On 'the contrary, if a coal bunker is riddled, it must be in stantly shut off. The coal remaining in it cannot be used, and the water that enters the bunker reduces the buoyancy of tho ship. This fact is as important as it is inter esting. IT IVOtTLD COST "SIOBE IHAS COAL. Third The cost of oil is about three times that of coal. This prevents it being used very largely in merchant steamers, for, notwithstanding tho saving in stokers, the cheapness of loading and other advantages, the saving in expense of labor will not, as a rule, compensate for tho greater cost of the oil except in certain localities where special conditions obtain. And if many steamers were to burn oil the price would be largely increased at once, owing to tbis increased demand. But war navies, not being so de pendent upon prices as the merchant ma rine, will watch tho experiments now being made to see if the much-vaunted tactical su periority of oil over coal justifies the addi tional expense. It is quite possible that England, Kussia, France and the United States may decide to usa oil for torpedo boats at least, liussia and the "United States have large supplies of mineral oil; England could easily prooure shale oil from its own bituminous slate clay, and France may draw upon its few oil wells for fuel, be cause there is danger that its coal mines luay not be adequate to furnish all the coal needed by its navy in time ot war. If the torpedo fleet burns oil, tho coal supply may be sufficient for the large ships. Liquid fuel will, no doubt, be used in all submarine boats, and it will probably be adopted by the owners of pleasure yachts, with whom economy is a matterof seoondary consideration. They will need fewer men on board, and will get rid of coal dust, smoke and cinders important points in a steam yacht. In this, as in all matters affecting the efficiency of the navy,, the Naval Intelligence Office at Washington keeps abreast the times and renders great assistance to the service by directing the attention of officers to every new phase of modern naval warfare.

Three Remarkable Results Described by Well-Known Residents. OVERWHELMING PROOF Of the' Superior Skill of the Electro- pathic Physicians at 507 Penn Avenue. Mr. J. Palmer, one of Pittsburg's most estimable citizens, living on Lawn street, n-tr Craft avenue (Fourteenth ward), in speaking of tho rapid and wonderful recov ery he mado from a case of rhenmntlsm that had sorely afflicted liftn for over eight months, says: "Only those who have been afflicted wltha similar trouble can have any idea of my sufferings. These pains, sometimes dull, other times sharp and shooting, mado every musclo and nerve throb with aches that wore unbearable. 3Iy joints felt stiff, and every movement was attended with EXCRUCIATIXG SUFFEHIXGS. "Even my most quiot moments were dis turbed with the twinges of an aching body. I tried different so-called cures without avail, though some afforded mu a temporary relief. "I saw several nrtlclos In fho newspapers regarding tho physicians of the Electro pathic Institute at 507 Penn avenue, and, as a last resort, concluded to consult the physi cians In charge. They at once diagnosed my case as chronic rheumatism, and assured me that THET COULD CURE ME. "That their promise is fulfilled beyond my higheat expectations is proved by my present condition. I can walk easily, sleep well and my every movements are without pain. Each treatment has benefited me more than the last,nntilnowIam convinced that the electrical treatment as admin istered by the physicians of tho Electro pathlc Institute Is the mo3t scientific and rational, nnd productive of better and more permanent results than any other. My strongest words of approval and recommen dation shall at all times be used In their be half." PARALYSE CURED. Bed-Bidden and Suffering for Tears a Paralytic, Tet Mrs. John Fields. Un able to Move Her Limbs, Is Final ly Relieved by the Physicians of the Electropathlo Institute. "It has been over Ave years sinco I was flrst stricken with this malady, paralysis, and what I suffered in that time can scarcoly be described." The speaker was Mrs. John Fields, residing at B0 Beaver avenue, Alle gheny. "I had been feeling verv well all day, when suddenly, without warning, I received the stroke whioh made mo perfectly helpless. I conld not make any movement without as sistance. Sly whole Dody felt as cold as ice. For U months 1 lay down stairs, my 'rela tives fearing to move me. During that time a number of physicians were In constant attendance, and, while I would seem to rally, there was never any percoptlble per manent change for the better. Often times I wished at the close of the day that before morning came a merciful Providence would END MY SUFFERINGS. "My husbandhad spent vast sumsof money In trying different cures, but to no avail. I concluded to try, as a last resort, the effl oacv of the electrical treatment atuppllod by "the phvsicians of the Electropathlo In stitute, SO Penn avenue. "The Orst treatment I received benefited me so much that I was able to lift my arm above mv head. For lx months before that time I had been totally unable to raise my arms at all. I gradually improved until now I can do numerous duties that I never dreamt would be my good fortune to .do again beforo I died. "I unhesitatingly recommend these phvsi cians and their methods, and feel sure that rthey will effect a permanent cure whore ro tlief is at all possible." YEARS'OFSUFFERING. Another Local Case and Kemarkable Bcsnlt, Accomplished by the Electropathlo Physicians at 507 Penn Avenne. "Formore than Ave years I snffored as I did not think it possiblo for a human being to suffer and live." The speaker was Mrs. Mary J. Confer, who lives at 113 Lacock street. Allegheny. "I was first stricken with rheumatism, and to anyone who has suffered from this disease I need not describe its tortures. Had con-, stunt pains shooting from one musclo or Joint 'to another, and constant heavy, dnll! aohes. To this -n as added the pangs and ox- i'. crnclatlng twinges or neuralgia. "My life was one of misery, and mere EXISTENCE A TORTURE. "The constant pain I suffered Anally re sulted In complete nervous prostration. In somnia, or sleeplessness, was added to my other ills, and I was in a state bordering upon frenzy. "I doctored with the best physicians In Pittsburg nnd wasted quantities of money, all to no avail. While at times I was helped, temporarily, my case constantly grew WORSE AND WORSE. "My attention was called to the Pittsburg Electropathlo Institute, at 007 Penn avenue, and as a forlorn hope I determined to tryncoui-so of electricity. I applied to the physicians In charge, and after diagnosing my case they placed me under treatment. "To make a long story short, after a regu lar course of treatment I am entirely cured. My pains aud aches haveall left me. lean not too highly commend the Institute, or the physician in charge of it, to those who suffer as I did." Emclrojiiti" InslitalB, 507 PENN AVE., PITTSBURG, PA.
