l>r. .1. It. (')urke reports n case of
a man sti years of age who. with no
previous illnestr, one morning caught
hold of his beard (which extended to
his waist) und was astounded to find
Jhat it came off in his hand, lie Inter
rubbed his hand over his head and
every hair came off. In n few days
nil hair disappeared from his body.
This case cannot be explained in the*
present state of our knowledge.
Careful investigation proved that
"Schuler’s parasite” wan nothing
more than niiuill globules of the oil
which had collected on the cancer
linnue.
J. Dnnyz Kis secured a virus from
the germs of some epidemic disease
among field mice which the marine
hospital service is using experiinen-
lally tor the destruction of rats. The
virus is deadly to rats, but is entire-
ly harmless to man and to domestic
animals.
This calls to mind the fact that
the Japanese government has of-
fered a bounty for the killing of rats,
and during the first two wea?ks of
the month of June over a quarter
of a million were killed in that coun-
try. These rodents are the greatest
carriers of the infection of bubonic
plague.
The United States government esti-
mates that there are' 1^000 cases of
leprosy in this country. A case has
been discovered in St. Louis, a Chi-
nese laundryman, who has been fol-
lowing his business regularly al-
though he has been a sufferer from
the disease for two years. His cus-
tom of sprinkling his clothes with
water forcibly ejected from the
mouth would seein a means for wide-
spread contagion. A second case of
great interest is one in Minnesota, in
a young man born and raised in that
state. This case fs interesting as
it disproves the belief that all lep-
rosy in this country is found in for-
eigners.

The electro-magnet has been used
with success to draw metallic foreign
bodies from the throat and bronchi.
A nail which had become embedded
in the smaller bronlhi well into
the lung was thus removed, the mag-
net being put in the throat. Excel-
Cases of “floating kidney” have
attracted attention of surgeons for
some time; but of late there has
been considerable interest in the
“floating liver.” One case is reported
in which, when the patient was
erect, the liver sunk below the line
of the navel; but when lying down
it disappeared beneath the ribs. An,
other case is recently reported where
the liver was found in the pelvis at
about a level with the hips. It was
sewed back in its normal place with
good results.
In a village in Austria, near the
Adriatic sea, there is practiced what
is known as the nudity cure. Here
the people are exposed to the sun
and rain dressed only in short trunks
and hats. The results on cases of
nervous exhaustion or nervous pros-
tration are said to be excellent.

The London Lancet states that

Upton went aboard hvr one day down
in the lower Imy. She wan owned
i for many years by Gen. benjamin P.
Butler, and at liU death she panned to
his grnndnon, Butlir Amen, her pres-
ent owner.
After her great victory and prior to
routing into the hands of Gen. Ihitler
the America had an adventurous his-
tory. She was first purchased by ffn
English gentleman who altered her
rig and used her for cruising until aft-
er the breaking out of Ihe civil wur
when shv was fitted out ns a blockade
runner. In this capacity she was
named Memphis and was armed with
one heavy gun. lint the old cruft, was
too staunch a patriot lo thrive at that
business. She made a mess of block-
ade running and ultimately she was
sunk in the mud of the St. John’s river,
Fla., to prevent her falling into the
hands of our navy. After the war she
was raised by the government and for
a time was used as a training school
for naval cadets at Annapolis. Subse-
quently she was purchased by Gen.
Butler, on whose death she passed to
his son Paul, and 011 Paul’s death she
went to her present owner, Mr. Ames.
The Magic, which was the first to
defend the cup, defeating the Cam-
bria in 1870, is owned by J. S. Clark
and brother, of Philadelphia, and is
now laid up at Green Point, L. I. The
Magic was built at Philadelphia in
1857. She was originally a sloop and
was afterward lengthened.
The first Columbia in the list of de-
fenders was built at Chester, Pa., in
1871. In October of that year she de-
feated the Livonia in two races, but
in the third she was disabled and lost
the race. Under the rules which then
held it was permitted to substitute
another boat when a yacht was thus
put out of the contest and the Sappho
took the Columbia’s place, winning
two straight races from the Livonia.
The Columbia is now owned by Jo-
seph De H. Junkin, of Philadelphia,
and was in the racing cruise this year.
The Sappho, which was built some-
where back in the 60’s, was taken to
England soon after her victory and
there remained until four years ago,
when she was broken up.
The Madeleine, which in August,
1876, defeated the Canadian chal-
lenger, Countess of Dufferin, in two
races, all that were sailed, is still in
commission and cruising. The last
that was heard of her was somewhere
in the West Indies.
The Mischief, which in November,
1881, defeated the Atalanta, is also
still in service as a yacht. The Puri-
tan, which defeated the Genesta in
1885, was changed into a schooner ia
1896. She is owned by John O. Shaw,
Jr., and js still in service. The May-

of HurUtah, mime year* ago, wa» the

ered, nearly all of them were of little
value, being flawed and in other re-
spects poor specimens, says the Phila-
delphia Sutnrduy Evening Pont.
It \\us u great disappointment.
Nevertheless, confidence iu the re-
sources of the mines wan unshaken,
and capitalists in England were so
eager to buy shares in n company or-
ganized to exploit the ruby fields that
the police were obliged to defend,
with drawn clubs, the officers of the
concerns against a swarm of half-
erazed would-be investors.
Shares in the enterprise were
boomed to astonishing figures, but
tumbled alarmingly .when news be-
gun to leak out that tlitf ruby craze
was likely to prove a bubble. Mining
had been begt n an extensive scale,
but somehow ..e gems did not ma-
terialize, and it looked as though the
fields were much less valuable than
had been supposed, or as if the de-
posits had been exhausted. After
some years investors made up their
minds that their money was as good
as lost. Hence the great and delight-
ful surprise conveyed by the recent
intelligence that the mines have be-
gun to pay dividends.
Experience has taught improved
methods of mining, and an electrical
power plant has been set up by the
company for washing the ruby-bear-
ing earth, called “byou.’ This byou
is wfdely distributed throughout the
Mogok valley. Natives have worked
the upper crust of it for centuries,
and the idea now in view is to get at
the lower levels and dig down to bed
rock, where, because of their weight,
the largest crystals are likely to be
found. A stone of 28 carats was
picked up recently, and its value may
be imagined from the fact that a ruby
of one carat is worth four times as
much as a diamond of the same size.
The British company' (as reported
Mr. G. F. Kunz to the geological
survey ) is now producing fully one-
half of the world’s yield of rubies,
and its leases are said to include
practically all of the ruby-bearing
territory of Burmah.
