Ein- horn and Heinz, have discovered a new anaesthetic agent, to which they have given the name orthoform. This substance belongs to the chemical group of aromatic amido—ethers. It consists of a white, christalline powder, without taste or odor. It does not readily dissolve, and its action is slow. But this fact is compensated for by the duration of the influence of the substance. Orthoform is pro- duced with acids from soluble salts which possess anaesthetic properties. Applied to the surface of a wound or an irritated mucous membrane, or thoform, in a powder or ointment produces insensibility. Many obser- vations of sufferers bring this fact to light boldly. ,With bad burns in par- ticular—and every one knows how dis- tressing these are—orthoform subdue: the liveliest pain in a. few minutes and its effect lasts for hours. Inas- much as orthoform is not a. poison (rabbits and dogs may take with im- punity from two to six grams a day). one may safely make a. fresh applica- tion when the anaesthetic influence has begun to diminish. One discovers how great is the toleration of it by the organism, for instance, in a case 01 cancerous ulcer of the face, which is the seat of such intense pain as to ren- der sleep impossible. The ulcer is sprinkled witli orthoform for a week and the quantity applied may amounl to fifty grams. The patient ceases tc suffer, and no inconvenience follows the experiment. For the torture of cancer of the stomach Messrs. Einhorn and Heinz have administered many doses of 2 gram in the course of a single day. In affords great satisfaction in all cases of wounds or ulcers of the skin and mucous membrane, and, as it is strong- ly antiseptic, it hastens recovery from bacterial ravages. It has no action on unbroken skin, but its powerful influ- ence permits one to regard it as suit- able for a local anaesthetic in cases; where one is to operate on a mucous surface. Experiments of this him have, indeed, been made at Munich.— Paris Temps. Sold 3 Mine on a. Bet for $1,500,000. One of the most famous mines in Leadville was the Robert E. Lee. Its promise was discovered when the vein or deposit was first struck, but fox some purpose or other people who did not take kindly to it, and the owners tried in vain to sell an interest. A gentleman who happened to have a few hundred dollars was besought to take a third of it for $300. He studied the matter, and deeming the venture too risky, declined. The Lee was a pock- ety mine, and some of the pockets con- tained rich ore. To effect a sale the owners wagered that they would take $1,000,000 of ore out of the mine in twenty-four hours. By great good luck they discovered a few rich pockets and won the bet. After this there was no difficulty in. selling the mine for $1,- 500,000.—San Francisco Chronicle. . ____-—-.___—__ A Par for Stur—Gazers. There look to be a good few stars above us on a clear night. But the eye can, as a matter of fact, only see at the best about 6,000. Take a telescope that will show you stars of the eighth magnitude, and look again. Now 40,000 are in view. A more powerful glass, and you can see hundreds of thousands, even millions. But the astonishing and: wonderful part of it all is that the stronger the magnifying power the more stars you can see. The Milky Way is no longer a faint cloud of light, but flames into a. million suns. And yet this is only the beginning of the wonders which surround our uni- verse. The only conclusion we can come to is that our huge sun and great system of revolving planets is the mer- est dot—nothing but the tiniest speck in the Infinite that we are lost in.

What would the possession of one hundred thousand pounds a year for fame or applause avail to a gentleman who was allowed to enjoy it. only with the con- dition of wearing a. shoe with” a. couple of nails inside it? All happiness would disappear and plunge into that shoe; all life would rankle around those nails.” And as little thing: have the power to annoy they have also the power to comfort and help.

Cleveland, 0., Jan. 14.—Senator Han— na was received in this city yesterday afternoon upon his return from Colum— bus with an enthusiasm far greater than that which has been accorded any public man here in a decade. Long be- fore the hour of the train’s arrival thousands gathered upon the streets and began to line the sidewalks. At noon the Tippecanoe Club, the Business Men’s League and the Repub- lican Shop Clubs gathered in front of the Masonic Building, on Superior street, and formed for parade. Half the town turned out to see them. Headed by a brass band, they marched to the Union deport, where Senator Hanna was met by them. He was escorted to a carriage, and rode to the Hollenden with James H. Hoyt. The Senator was cheered lustily all along the line of march, many business houses practically suspending business for the time being. Senator Hanna re— ceived enthusiastic cheers all along the route from Columbus t) Cleveland, and at several points made brief addresses to the assembled crowds. Senator Hanna received the follow- ing telegram from Senator J. B. For- aker at noon yesterday: ' “Hon. M. A. Hanna: I congratulate you not only on your election, but also upon your happy remark to the Gen- eral Assembly. J. B. FORAKER." NO STARVATION IN DAWSON. “311' 'Department Receives Trustworthy Advices from Alaska. W’ashington. Jan. 14.——Information that the reports of starvation at Daw- son City were untrue have been re- ceived by Adjutant-General Brook in a telegram from General Merriam, at Vancouver barracks, saying that he had received advices to that effect from Captain Robinson, an army quarter- master stationed at Seattle. Captain Robinson said that United States Commissioner Jones, who left Dawson on Dec. 9 had reached Seat- tle and reported that there was no dan- ger of starvation on the Klondike. The first information for nearly four months that the Adjustant-General has received of Captain P. H. Ray and Lieutenant Richardson of the army, lwas brought by Mr. Jones. They were at Dawson and were com- fortably situated. Thirty-five men from the Klondike had reached Seattle, and many of them confirmed the assertions of Jones about the food supply. Edison’s Son to Harness the Ocean. New Yerk, Jan. 14.—Thomas A. Edi- son, Jr., has evolved a plan for the util- ization of power in the production of light, heat and electricity, which. if carried into effect, will revolutionize the industrial world in a more radical man- ner than have all the inventions of his illustrious father. Young Edison pro- poses to harness the ocean, and com- pel it to do the bidding of man. day that Edison was organizing a syn- dicate to supply electricity in unlimitgd quantity, and at such low rates that it would supercede all other means of power for use in the manufactures and arts. He says, however, that the cap— ital required is so vast that he is not yet ready to organize a company. Fort Smith in Ruins.
