THE LEGEND OF EVIL.

IT IS A USELESS GIFT.
THE VERMIFORM APPENDIX CAUSES
SERIOUS TROUBLE.
Science Advances to the Ilescue and Khowa
the Only Way to Safety A Possibility
That the Coming- Man Will He Without
That Dangerous Organ.
Will the coming man have a vermi
form appendix? Who has not heard of
that troublesome little pouch in the ab
dominal region which nerves no good
purpose, but is responsible for thousands
of deaths each year?
Emmons Dlaine, Senator Hitgan and
bnndreds of other persons of prominence
had trouble with the vermiform appen
dixand they died.
Now science is asking in all serious
ness whether the vermiform appendix
shall be allowed to exist; whether it shall
not be removed entirely before it has the
opportunity to poison and destroy.
Professor U. G. Wilder has said flatly
that children should be relioved of the
vermiform appendix, just as they are
vaccinated. Hut other students in this
new field are not yet ready to pronounce
in favor of so radical a scheme.
Physicians have known for centuries
that the vermiform appendix existed, but
it was not until 1888 not until five years
Bgo that any one of the profession had
the daring to make an incision into the
abdominal cavity and remove this rank
offender against the laws of health.
The attack on the vermiform appendix
is but five years old, but it is being pros
ecuted with remarkable vigor in New
York city, where it originated, and tho
reason is not far to seek. It is simply be
cause physicians find sure that they have
evidence that appendicitis, as disease of
the vermiform appendix is named, canses
more deaths every year thaw consump
tion, the long acknowledged chief among
fatal diseases.
The appendix verniiformis in normal
condition is about the size of a load pen
cil and about 0 inches long. It is very
well shown in a specimen which was re
moved at a clinical lecture at the Post
graduate Medical school on Jan. 18.
This appendix had ulcerated and in
creased in size somewhat, but gave a very
fair idea of the part. When perfectly
normal, it so compares with an ordinary
lead pencil that it is most frequently de
scribed as like it. It is a pencil that
writes only death warranto.
Even today very few physicians out
side of New York city have any accurate
knowledge or appendicitis or would un
dertake an operation for the removal of
the appendix. So entirely is the discov
ery of the disease and the iireper method
of treating it an American development
of knowledge and practice that among
scientists of other countries today ap
pendicitis la known as "the American
disease."
Since the recent discoveries removals
of the cause of all the trouble have been
very frequent. One general practitioner
lias had 48 such cases within a year.
Speaking in the light of recent re
search, it seems safe to say that appen
dicitis is far more prevalent than con
sumption, and in just that proportion
causes more deaths, the chief difference
being that the cause or seat of appendici
tis may be removed bodily with success
in most cases, and success means restor
ation to perfect health.
The removal of the vermiform aiwen-
dix fat the eurly stages of an attack of
appendicitis is now held to be one of the
safest of surgical operations, while such
an operation, when the case has come to
near its lost and fatal stage, is one of the
most desperate. The sud case of Senator
' Hagan is one in point. Ee hod long de
sired an operation, bnt it bad been de
layed until too lute for an assured suc
cess.
And now, after all theso facts are re
cited, recurs tho question of whether the
coming man will have a vermiform ap
pendix, it is not meant by this to in
quire whether the coming man will have
his appendix slain lest it slay him. A
much wider question is indicated. The
number of appendixes removed in this
city since the discovery that such an op
eration could be safely performed is very
great, ail things considered, One gen
eral practitioner, not a surgical special
1st, told the representative of The World
that he had removed 100 appendixes In
two years. Possibly 1,000 appendixes
have lieen removed since the first opera
tion of this sort in 1888, and most of
theso in tho past threo years.
W hat follows? If such a rate is to lie
maintained, there will soon be a very
large proportion of tho people of New
York city who have eliminated their
vermiform appendixes, and we are glad
of it.
Will the children of these people be
likewise possessed of vermiform appen
dixes? Undoubtedly. But should the
eliminating process be continued for a
few generations, how long would It be
before this useless and dangerous, de
generate and rudimentary portion of the
body is permanently bred out of exist
ence? New York World.
Hypnotising Witnesses la Court.
Dr. J. 8. Wintermute, complainant in
1 141,000 damage suit against James Stin-
ion, a Chicago stockman, was accused in
ihe United States court of hypnotizing a
witness who waa on the stand. Winter
mute is said to be able to mesmerize and
hypnotize people.
Stinson sent him a lot or blooded horses
couple of years ago. They were placed
9n Wintermute's farm for breeding pur
poses, and now Wintermute has sued
Stinson for services and the use of his
farm properties. This morning the court
denied a motion for a nonsuit, and Btin
son, who had engaged able counsel, be
gan to introduce his evidence.
One of his witnesses "could not re
member." He halted and hesitated re
peatedly, and finally Stinson told the
court the witness was being hypnotized
by the complainant, Wintermute. Judge
Band ford did not seem to consider the
objection seriously. The examination
was ordered continued and the witness
asked more questions, but he still seemed
confused. Again Stinson arose and
called the court's attention to the wit
ness's mental condition and insisted that
he was under a hypnotic spell. Winter
mute was observed to be making curi
ous passes with his hands in the direc
tion of the witness. He was ordered to
keep his hands down. Stinson says
Wintermute hypnotized persons in his
house at Chicago and is positive he had
the witness under his influence. Tacoma

An International Episode,
An international incident of an un
usual and amusiug sort has given inter
est to the news of the week from Can
ada. Admiral Magnaghi arrived at
Montreal with his ship Etna, and as he
dropped anchor ho fired a number of
guns prescribed by naval etiquette as
salute to the flag of a friendly nation.
But Montreal has a mayor who does not
recognize the kingdom of Italy, and by
his orders the salute was not returned.
It is understood that he bases his refusal
to recognizo King Humbert on the
ground that Victor Emanuel wronged
the head of the church or wlilcn lie is a
faithful member, and that the king of
Italy is, therefore, in some way a usurper.
The mayor of Montreal is evidently a
long way behind the times. But Ad
miral Magnaghi is not, and he forthwith
telegraphed the Ottawa government, de
manding that the prescribed amount of
powder be burned in honor of the Italian
flag, and intimating that unless this
were dono without further offensive de
lay he should fuel compelled to resent
the Indignity by sailing right away out
of the St. Lawrence. Bo the premier at
Ottawa ordered the mayor at Montreal
to fire tho salute, the admiral is ap
peased, and the international incident is
closed. Boston Commonwealth.
Tho White Cruiser Chicago at Dublin.
The stars and stripes are as familiar
to Irish eyes as the flag of green, but not
often is the symbol of the United States
of America seen on an American battle
ship in Dublin bay. A warship is re
garded as a part of tho territory of the
state to which it belongs, and therefore
the Chicago may bo looked upon as tho
port of the great country in which so
many of our people have found a home,
and not a few of them have found fume
and fortune. It was only natural, there
fore, that her advent to our shores
should have stirred Irish hearts, and
that the flag flying above her should
have conjured np visions of battle days
when side by side with it was carried
the flag of gieen. Ireland gave Barry
to the American navy, and the blood of
Old Ironsides coursed through the veins
of Charles Stewart Pornell, and tho
Irish nature would have ceased to be
Irish if our warmest affections were not
successfully appealed to by the sight of
part of the armed force which the genius
of Barry helped to create and of the flag
under which the grandfather of the
Irish leader served and fought. United

Gentlemen Who Aspire to lie Flunkeys.
With the exception of Lord Corring
ton (who did very well indeed) the offi
cial actors in the ceremonial at the
duke's wedding appeared to be very im
perfect in their parts, and it is a wonder
that no accident took place. It was odd
Indeed to see a number of arlstocratio
personages walking backward with the
appearance of being saturated with tho
most slavish servility, but even more
grotesque and remarkable were the con
stant and profound bowings and scrap
ings of all the courtiers.
Lord Palinorston once remarked to
Lord Dulling, who repeated the saying to
Charles Lever, "What a happy arrange
ment it is that in an age when onr flun
keys aspire to be gentlemen there are
gentlemen who ask nothing better than
to be flunkeys," and he never said a bet

WHY BOOK9 ARE CHEAP.
A Machine That Prints and Folds Three
Thousand Erery llonr.
There are various rumors nnd tales
floating about town among those in the
business concerning some wonderful ma
chinery over on the west side of the city
In a certain monstrous bookmaking es
tablishment. The "novel machine" is a large web
press similar to the kind newspapers are
printed on, but arranged to take curved
electrotypes of each page of a book in
stead nf a single large metal cylinder
casting. There are two cylinders, on
each of which 144 pages may be screwed,
and as the long strip of paper goes
Kirough, first one side is printed and then
the other, making it possible to print 288
pages at every revolution. The strip of
paper, after being carried over rollers
which dry the ink, Is cut, folded and
brought together in the shape of a small
volume, with the edges all trimmed. Ev
ery time the great cylinder goes round a
novel is printed, folded and trimmed, and
0,000 of these are turned out every hour,
while, if it were necessary, 7,000 or 8,000
might be the quota.
From the printing press these books
are carried to a little machine that looks
like a sewing machine, and two wire
stitches are taken in the back of each.
The stitched volumes are then carried to
the covering machine, where they are put
side to side in a long feeding trough. At
the end of this is a little compartment
large enough to take a book, carried on
an endless chain running over wheels at
each end. Indeed, there are series of
little compartments on this chain, and
as the chain moves along each one re
ceives a book. As the book proceeds a
wheel running in a gluepot presses
against its back, smearing it with gluo.
A little further along there is a pile of
covers that comes np at just the right
moment, lexving a cover sticking to the
gluey back of the book.
In this way SO books can be covered
every minute. Two hundred and fifty
thousand of these paper covered novels
are thus turned out every two weeks, and
extra editions of 60,000 or so are often
worked In lwsides. New York Commer
cial Advertiser.
The Last English Babbit.
The game of the world is decreasing,
and as new lands are opened to civiliza
tion so it will get less and less. In the
struggle for existence, there will be no
room for the sportsman. His require
ments will grow more modest as time
advances, bnt thoy will not be satisfied.
The last British wolf was killed in Snth
erlandshire about the year 1700 by a man
named Poison. Who will be handed
down to posterity as tho slayer of the last
British rabbit? What a pn tho tie picture
might he drawn of the last cock pheas
ant! Perhaps some Macatilay of the far
distant future may astonish his readers
by his account of whut went on in the
rural districts of Great Britain in the
nineteenth century.
He would relate how, owing to the
scantiness of the population, men used to
shoot partridges and pheasants by the
thousand on ground then and for gener
ations past the sites of immense towns;
telling how the great garden of England,
thon mapped out into small tenements,
each laboriously and minutely culti
vated, with no waste of wood or hedge
row, used in those far away years to be
furiously ridden over by hundreds of
horsemen in pursuit of an animal long
since extinct in the land and only known
to the curious in old books of natural
history. Macmillan's Magazine.
! French Servants and Wealthy Shopkeepers.
I The one extravagance of dress of the
l French servant irirl lies in havincr her
best gown made by a dressmaker instead
of making it herself. Hence her corsages
always fit her well, and her plain stuff
costume nas a degree or style ationc it
which she is fully capable of appreciat
ing. The ladies of the so called bour
geois set the wives and daughters of
rich shopkeepers and manufacturers
very rarely Indulge in rich fashionable
toilets. Mmo. Boucicaut, the foundress
of the Bon Marche, was worth millions
upon millions. Always arrayed in black
silk or satin of excellent quality, but
made in the plainest possible style, she
looked to the last hour of her life just
what she was the greatest and richest
shopkeeper in Paris possibly, but still a
shopkeeper, and one that never tried to
look like anything different. When the
daughter of one of these wealthy trades
people marries, her trousseau is usually
very superb, but the famous masters of
the art of dress are seldom or never
called upon to exert their inventive tal
ents in hor behalf. Lucy Harper in
Home Journal.
Astouuuing Memories.
Horace Vernet is the best example of
visual memory, lie could paint a strik
ing portrait of a man, life size, after hav
ing once looked at his model, Mozart
had a great musical memory. Having
heard twice the "Miserere" in the Sis
tine chapel, he wrote down the full score
of it. There are soloists who during 24
hours can pluy the composition of other
masters without ever skipping a note.

Kleetrle Freight Engines.
The three electric locomotives being
constructed by the General Electric
company to haul cars through the Blt
railroad tunnel are nearly complied.
The machinery is about finished, and
the generators are well under way. The
locomotives will lie of 1,200 horsepower
each and will consist of three separate
trucks conded together to form one
motor. The weight on drivers will be
AX) tons, and the numlier of drivers to
each locomotive will be 12. The maxi
mum weight of freight trains to be
hauled is placed at 1,200 tons, which can
be carried at a speed of 15 miles an hour;
maximum weight of passenger train,
COO tons; speed, 80 miles an hour.
Each axle of the locomotive has mount
ed upon It a gearless motor flexibly con
nected to the driving wheels, and means
are provided for controlling tk-e motors
and commutating them, so that high ef
ficiency can be attained at nearly all rates
of speed by running the otors either in
series, multiple series or multiple, ac
cording to the load to be hauled and
speed desired. The current will be sup
plied to the motors from the generators
by the regular trolley wire, with ground
return through the rails. Where switches
and sidings occur special arrangements
will be made to prevent the trolley by
any chance from jumping the wire.

To lie Ttorled Allre.
The mind reader, A, J. Seymour, is
generally known in Illinois, and his pro
posed attempt to be buried and remain
In the ground while a crop of barley is
grown on his grave creates interest
throughout the state. Dr. E. C. Dunn
of Rockford has been selected by Sey
mour as manager. Dr. Dunn says:
"There Is no question that this feat
con be performed. I have seen it per
formed successfully three times in India,
at Allahabad, Delhi and Benares."
For several days Seymour will be fed
upon a diet of fat and heat producing
food. He will then throw himself into a
cataleptic state, the lungs will le filled
with pure air to their fullest capacity
and the tongue placed back and partially
down the throat in such a manner as to
completely close the aperture to the
lungs. The nose, eyes and ears will be
hermetically sealed with wax.
After parafflne has been spread over
the entire body to close the pores it will
be ready for burial. The body will be
put into an extra large casket. This
will be placed inside another, Bud both
will be perforated In order that if any
poisonous gases exude from the body
they mny make their escttpe and be ab
sorbed by tho soil. The interment is to
be made in a clay soil.
An Old Carpet Worth 818,1100.
The longer a carpet is used in tho
coiners' department at the United States
mint the more it is worth. Wear and
tear do not diminish its value. Yester
day a thick woolen carpet that has been
on tho coiners' floor for seven years was
taken up and carefully cremated. The
precious ashes were scrupulously gath
ered together, as if they were the relics
of some departed saint, and by an elab
orate refining process the government
recovered 279 ounces of gold, worth over
$.1,000. The metal had been deposited
there by tho infinitesimal abrasions and
disintegrations of the yellow metal while
being converted from bullion into coin.
Even the heavy gloves of the men who
handle bullion are incinerated, and tho
gold is brought back to Uncle Sam's cof
fers. Even the smoke from the furnaces
used for melting the metal la made to
redeliver the treasure with which it is
trying to escape, and from the soot in
the chimney cunning little bars of the
yellow stuff are secured. San Francisco
Examiner.
The Energetic Camera Fiend.
For several days an enterprising pho- -tographor
from Kansas has had a masked
camera so arranged in a tent at the main
crossing into the Cherokee Strip that he
can take a negative of everybody pass
ing without his knowledge. As the
department holds that every person who
now goes upon the strip is a "sooner" and
loses his right to take land there, these
negatives will become very valuable evi
dence against those going in now to hunt
out good claims, and the owner of them
can command a good price from each
subject to have his negative destroyed,
or can sell the same to contestors or the
government attorneys employed to hunt
up evidence against perjurers. Guthrie

A Clock That Registers the Tide.
The chamber of commerce of Rouea
has erected a clock tower which gives
the time on three sides and the height of
the tide on the fourth, namely, that front
ing the harbor. The tide indicator con
sists essentially of a float, which, by
means of a cord and counter weight huag
on a drum, actuates a series of shafts
with bevel wheel gearing and moves a
hand or pointer on a dial like that of a
clock, marked with the necessary figures
to show the level of the tide. The dials
are of opal gloss and are illuminated at
night. The clock has an apparatus for
distributing the time to other clocks in
Rouen and also for unifying the time
after the method adopted in Pari.
