Amateur Aatronomers.
The number of amateur astrono
mers ia considerable, and it ia safe to
say that of all the sciences thia is the
one that can boast the most adepts
among private persons. Among 1,100
astronomers now living, whose works
Lave gained a footing in science, about
half are amateurs with private ob
6ervatories. In England, including
official establishments and those at
tached to the universities, there are
31 observatories; in America, more
than 80; in France, 17; in Austria, 21;
in Italy, 21; in Russia, 15; and in Bel
gium, 5. We may say that an ama
teur, armed with a telescope, is to be
found at every point on our planet,
ready to observe a celestial phe
nomenon. In Chili, Honduras, I'era,
New Zealand, Tunisia, and Tasmania
we can meet astronomical amateurs
provided with instruments, who de-
vote their night hours to contemplat
ing the beauties of the starry vault ami
to collecting obsoryations which shall
bo useful for the advancement of
science.
Most of the discoveries of comets,
email planets, variable stars, and
star-clusters are the fruit of individual
researches. Were not all those ama
teur astronomers who, in the first
ages of history, in Chaldea and Egypt,
China and Mexico, drew from Nature
the first explanations of culcstial
phenomena? From the beginning of
historic time down to near our period,
astronomical science lias advanced
only by the labors of philosophers,
who pursued it as a matter of taste
and not officially The Popular
Science Monthly.
An Automatic Pitcher.
An automatic machine has been de
signed in England for the use of crick
eters, which it is proposed to utilize
with some modifications for practice
in base-ball batting. The new autom
aton is specially intended ro meet the
wants of small cricket clubs whose
finances will not admit of their em
ploying a professional "coach." In
this invention they find a bowler who
never gets tired, is never off his play,
never grows impatient with the young
ideas, who will deliver balls at exact ly
the speed and pitch desired, and with
the assistance of one small boy will
bowl from morning until night. The
mnchina is of simple construction. A
cogged disk contains what may be
called the "prime mover," in the shape
of a powerful spring, and a slender steel
rod carrying the ball is fixed thereto; a
few turns of a handle wind up the spring
in readiness, and a slight pressure on
a shorter handle releases it and de
livers the ball. By an ingenious ar
rangement the speed may beiegulated
and maintained with tho greatest
nicety, and the pitch of the ball can
be determined beforehand and sus
tained with wonderful exacitude. The
pace may be increased or reduced
without altering the pitch, and the
pitch may bo adjusted nearer to or
father from the batsman without
changing the pace. The disk is en
graved with a" register and carries a
suitable pointer, to enable the mani
pulator to obtain the delivery desired
and alter it when necessary. The baH
rests upon a rigid steel loop, and is
held'in place by a leather cap, the
steel" ring on which is retained in place
by an automatic catch, and the prin
ciple of the machine consists in releas
ing the ball from the delivery arm at
a definite and predetermined point in
its revolution. The direction is regu
lated by a large cross-handed screw in
the base of the staudaid on which the
device is fixed, and sight s on the de
livery rod emible Ike operator to lay
the ball dead on any recpiired spot,
the machine remaining so t rained un
til intentionally altered.
The Pasteur Institutes.
The Aanales uol'Institut Pasteur
have just been publhhcl, and contain
complete statistics of inoculations for
1890. In that year 1,C10 patients
were treated at the institute. The
foreign contingent in 1800 was about
one-fifth of the total number, the ma
jority coming from England, Belgium,
Greece, and Portugal. However, the
spread of the system, and the estab
lishment of similar institutions in
many of the large towns of Europe,
will decrease the foreicn element con
siderably. Varsovia, Odessa, Lisbon,
Milan, Naples, Bucharest, and, in
America, New York all have Pasteur
Institutes. The institute at Buchar
est has distinguished itself by as strik
ing a victory as that which heralded
the Pasteur Institute in Paris. Nine
teen Russians were bitten by a mad
wolf, 188(5; and although a fortnight
J elapsed between the accident and the
treatment sixteen are alive and well
to this day. Tlie bite of a wolf is con
' sidcred as far more dangerous than
that of a dog, the mortality being 00
' per cent.
From eleven to twelve of these Rns
l sians would therefore have perished
r but for inoculation. A similar occur-
I renco has just taken place at Iiuko-
wina. A she-wolf attacked and bit no
i less than twenty-nine people, who
were at once despatched to bucnarest.
Three died but the rest returned
cured to their homes. Out of the
I 1,5-1(5 patients treated in Paris in
I 1890. eleven after inoculation, giving
a mortality of 71 per cent. Out of
T these six succumbed within a fortnight
t after inoculation, and five only alter
a longer period. Experiment proves,
; it is stated, that if the patient suc-
enmbs before a fortnight has elapsed
; after inoculation it is because the vi
rus has affected the nervous centres,
outstripping the antidote that is,
' the treatment was too late to beeflec-
!f tive. This reduces the mortality to
five out of 1,516 or 32 per cent.
The New Bullets.
There is quite a difference of opinion
I about the humanity of the new style
I of bullets for military purposes, which
are claimed by the German surgeons
to be the most humane missiles yet
i employed in war. The new projectile,
irhi' hu made to t r fired from a
r'ulo oi Miuiil c a! ilfr, is lone, fo that
its "weight of wction," na it h termed
by sold ieM, is largo, while its arUml
weight may be smaller than that of
bullets of the old chape. By combin
ing great weight of section with small
diameter great velocity is given to the
projectile, as well as such penetrating
force that it will easily go through
two or three men at the distance of a
mile. M. Delahaye, who is calling into
question the mercifulness of the new
bullet, regards the new process of
being drilled through by a bullet
sha ped like a lead pencil not much more
humane than that of being shattered
by an old-fashioned "slug," but the
Germans pay that the new projectile
will not remain in the wound, but will
make a straight perforation through
the body, greatly simplifying the sur
gical treatment. There is no doubt
that the camp undertaker will in fu
ture have more to do after a battle
and the surgeon less than under the
old regime, but asa soldier dreadslong
suffering from a wouifd as much
as death the balance of "hu
manity" may after all be on
the light side. As lead bullets
of the modern shape would tie likely
to bend they are cased with steci or
nickel tubes, which gives them the
property of penetrating the hardest
bone without
deviating irom uieir
course,
To Stop Coughing; and Sneezing.
Dr. Brown-Sequard, in one of his
lectures, dwells with great emphasis
on the importance of general knowl
edge in the matter of checking cough
ing and sneezing. lie states that
coughing can bo stopped by pressing
on the nerves of the lips in tho neigh
borhood of thenose, and sneezing may
bo stopped in the same way. Press
ing in the neighborhood of the ear,
right in front of tho ear, may stop
coughing. It is so also of hiccoughing,
but much less so than lor sneezing or
coughing. Pressing very hard on tho
roof of the mouth is also a means of
arresting a cough and the will itself is
oftenfound to be a wonderful preven
tive. Dr. Brown-Sequard points out
that in addition to the many ordin
ary reasons why people should know
these simple facts, there are condi
tions under winch this knowledge may
prove of the greatest value. In bron
chitis and pneumonia, or any acute
affection of the lungs, hacking or
coughing may lead to serious results
and the ability to readily mitigate or
arrest them is" of the highest impor
tance. An Automatic Telephone.
In addition to the ordinary public
telephone in the post office of the
Frankfort Electrical Exhibition, there
has just been installed, for the con
venience of visitors, by Messrs. Gould
and Co., of Berlin, a new automatic
telephone. The person wishing to
make use of this instrument inserts
the sum of 25 pi'ennige threepence ,
in two ten-pfennige pieces and one
live-pfennige piece, in the inevitable
slot, and presses a button in order to
establish tho connection with the
office, which then effects the further
connection with any desired subscrib
er m Frankfort and district. Should
the required connection not happen
to be at the moment available, the
official in the telephone office in his
turn presses a button, rendering it
possible for tho person at tho auto
matic telephone to resecure possession
of his 25 pfennige, which is certainly
more than the ordinary run of auto
matic machines will perform if they
fail to make due delivery of the
desired sweetmeat, cigarette, or boy
of wax vestas. Iron.
A Paper Hotel.
There seems to bo practically no
limitation to the uses to which paper
can be and is applied. To - the long
list of articles intended for personal
use, and in tho smaller det ails of con
struction of rolling stock, such as
wheels, axles, etc., there has been
added a more extensive applica
tion to the needs of everyday life by
the building of a hotel constructed of
this material. This novel residence
which has just been finished, and is
situated in Hamburg, has been made
entirely of paper boards which, it is
said, are of the hardness of wood, but
possess an advantage over the latter
material in that they are fire proof,
this desirable end being affected by
impregnation with certain cheniiciv
solutions.
Artificial Teeth for Horses.
The inventive Yankee is now manu
facturing false teeth for horsos. A
New York veterinary surgeon says
that wonderful progress has been
made in the art, and anything that
can bo dono in human teeth can be
done in horses' teeth. "I heard of a
case a few days ago when this new in
vention was tried with pertect success.
The horse's teeth were pulled out one
by one, and in the cavities new teeth
were inserted. They were literally ce
mented in; mid, although the gums
wore sore for a week, they finally har
dened, and now give the animal no
pain. Filing horses' teeth and clean
ing them are common" things now, and
in a few years the practice will be gen
eral." Cast-iron Railway Bridges.
Sir John Fowler's report to the di
rectors of the London and Brighton
Railway with reference to their bridg
es states that the company has 17L
cast-iron bridges altogether, and that
81 of these ought within three years
to be replaced with wrought-iron or
steel structures. He does not state
that any of them are unsafe, and con
cludes his report by saying "the result
of my investigation does not indicate
any unusual weakness in the Brighton
bridges, which are neither better nor
wore than those of similar lines oi
railways at home and abroad."
Lighting Mixture.
If a small quantity of chlorate of
potash be powdered and mixed with
an equal quantity of powdered sugar,
a candle may be lighted by means of
the mixture without matches. Place
a little of it in the depression around
the wick of a candle that has been
previously used and then touch the
mixture with a glass rod, the end of
which has been dipped in oil of vitriol;
t will burst into tlame, lighting the
candle.
Dirit riictciA.
IU Symptom. Fatality, Origin, Mml of
Fropagatlon and the ICriurdlr
By Dr. A. V. Bunu of Lincoln.)
Ia mild cases the symptoms are mack
like a com on cold,' often the false mem
brane forms ia the throat and on the ton
eels, there is a sensation like cotton stick
in the throat, and the patient makes con
stant efforts at hawking and 'coughing to
dislodce it. The duration Twill be from
ten to bfteen days' It leaves behind it
great debility and prostration which con- !
tinues for weeks and months even ia the j
mildest cases. In severe cases the thao.it
is sore, and the soreness increases rapidly.
The tonsels swell in a few hours so as to
almost shut up the passage to the tbroat,
the patient cannot swallow food or drink
without great suffering. A thin serous
fluid is constantly discharged from the
throat and nose. The glands about the
neck swell in proportion to the severity of
the disease. If not hard and much swol
len the patieut may recover; on the other
hand if there is much tumefaction the case
will end fatally. In from twelve to forty
eight hours the false membrane forms on
the tonsils, vale of the palate, and ex
tends up to the nose or down into the
lungs, about the fourth or fifth day the
throat and larynx close up and the pa
tient dies suddenly of suffocation. If the
false membrane is kept dissolved with
alkalies, and constant watchfulness, the
patient will live until the tenth or four
teenth day, finally dying of exhaustion.
During the second week the false mem
brane extends to the s'omach and bowels.
I have seen it when the tongue and lips
were covered with it and both nostrils
filled full so that it protruded half an inch
or more. If the patient finally recovers
great debility of the vocal organs remain
and many do not recover luiiy lor nve
years, and some never luny recover.
FATALITY OF DIPHTHERIA.
The average mortality is about the same
as in cholera ana yeiiow xever aoout
thirty-three per cent, or about one-third
including the mild and severe cases. It
frequently takes four out of five, and nine
out of ten, and twelve out of thirteen in
families and sometimes destroying entire
families.
Its fatality is chiefly among chil
dren under 1 1 vears of age. But it has
carried off some of the most eminent med
ical men of France. A physician or nurse,
can net examine the throat of a patient
without running the risk of dying in less
than forty-eight hours.
ITS ORIGIN.
The history of the disease reaches back
more than 2,000 years. Egypt is its native
land where it has been known for thous
ands of years as the Egyptian ulcerated
sore throat. It was unknown in France
until about 1745, when it was brought to
Paris by a legion of soldiers from Egypt.
In 1859 there was a severe and fatal
epidemic in Taris when Ereatcnneau gave
it its present name. Aitken says it has
prevailed in every part of the world dur
ing the last 200 years; that it terminated
the life of George Washington and that
of Empress Josephine.
Dr. Beache says Washington died of
quinsy; Prof. Wood says of acute laryngi
tis. About forty-seven years ago Mr.
Corwin of Pennsylvania, had two little
girls, one was taken sick with canker-ash,
as they called it, and died suddenly on the
fifth day very unexpectedly. A week later
the other died with the same disease in
spite of the best medical skill. This was
the first year of the potato rot which was
widespread, and I suspect there was some
connection between the disease and potato
rot. The symptoms were these of
iiphthcria.
ITS PROPAGATION.
The serous fluid in the throat is a dead
ly Doison. and the chief source of the in
fection. It generally flies out during the
act of coughing; a particle lodges on the
hps, tongue or eye, or on any aenuaea
surface or abrasion, and gives the
disease, which always concentrates in the
throat. The false membrane is equally
poisonous, and it is probable that all the ex
cretions of the body are capable of giving
the disease, if the sputa or spit rags are
thrown out where dogs, swine or sheep
get them or come in contact with, they
take the disease as well as man. In France
the women cure the sheep and hogs
by swabing out their throats
with salt and vinegar. It may be
taken from a spoon, tumbler, towel or
sleeping in a bed at a hotel or on the cars,
after a diphtheria patient, or in the bath
tub, but is generally disseminated by
coughing at schools and churches or other
public places. It is rarely given by the
breath or carried in the atmosphere like
measles and smallpox.
I saw one woman who had a slight burn
on the wrist; she had been washing out
spit rags, and the disease took effect in a
spot not larger than a dime, on her wrist.
Valleix, one of the most eminent medi
cal men of France, while attending a girl
with sore throat not a severe case a lit
tle saliva spurted out into his mouth by
her coughing. Next day on one of his
tonsils appeared a smalr peculiar deposit,
he had slight fever, and some hours later
both tonsils and the uvula were covered
with false membrane. Soon afterwards
there was a promise discharge of serous
secretion from the nose. The cervical
glands and cellular tissue of the neck and
infra maxillary region were a good deal
swollen, delirium supervened, and in for
ty-eight hours Valleix died without the
larnyx being affected. (See Tiousseau'
clinical lectures, page 497, vol, 11) Dr.
Gillet of Paris had performed tracheotomy
on a child with croup (diphtheria) which
was likely to strangle. In the emergency
of the moment he put his lips to the wound
and sucked out the blood. lie died forty
eight hours afterwards with maligna! sort
throat, with similar symptoms to those
just narrated.
Henry Blache, , a yonng physician ol
;reat promise, sat up three nights, with a
mild on which his father performed
racheotomy for croup. On the evening
sf the third day his throat was very sore,
ind he left immediately to see his father.
The swelling about the neck was enormous,
Ikcharae from the nose incessant, and
Henry Blache died in seventeen hours.
Trousseau gives an accountof a young
man who had an eruption back of the cars
whn slent opposite a diphtheria patient.
I He took the disease in this locality. Another
who had a blister on the back of his neck,
I took it when it first appeared, on the blis
tered surface, and extended over almost
the entire back. Another was the case of
a woman confined and delivered with for
ceps. Three days afterward diphtheria
exudation appeared on one side of the
to the uterus, which was thor
oughly cauterized and suppposcd to b
uusiaed, Out three days later it appeared
in the pharynx, and she died on the thir
teenth day. Her child had the diphthe
ria on its head where the skin wat
abraded and died the same day, ten hours
after its mother.
M. Herpin. surgeon of Tours, while at
tending a patient in the act of coughing,
a little diphtheria matter was thrown into
one of hi3 nostrils. The disease set in,
extending back into the pharynx and was
so severe that he did not recover in six
months.
Dr. Gendron received a little of the
matter on his lip in a similar manner. The
disease commenced at this point and ex
tended back through the mouth into the
pharynx, and it was only by the most en
ergetic treatment that his life was saved.
M. Bretonneau gives an account of a boy
in 1862, who bathed after a diphtheria pa-

KAll'St OF THK COXTAGIO.
The poiyon is acid and not entirely oo
lite that which issues from the fangs of
the rattlesnake or the bee'i stinger, but
resembles the oil of cantharides nearer than
any other agent the chemist has been able
t j discover for which there is no antidote,
j Professor Aert of Germany, introduced
small particles of the false membrane inta
the haunches of rabbits and they died
I with diphtheria in from twelve to twenty
! four hours.
J
I It is be'ieved by some authors that the
contagion remains in the room where pa
. tients have had diphtheria for a long pe
' riod of time adhering to the walls, chairs,
carpets, bedding, etc. No pains should be
spared o destroy all contagion and stamp
out the disease.
TUB FEMEP1BS.
The first of all remedies is to keep chil
dren and young people entirely away from
the disease; keep them out of the room;
another house is preferable. Always
avoid a croupy coujh at school, church,
hotel, on the cars or at the party and
dance in fact every. where. Young chib
dren will refuse food and drink, and all
medicine on the fourth day and cannot
swallow it if they would, therefore but
little can be expected from the healing art
in severe cases. Membraneous croup is
the former name of diphtheria fifty years
zgo. During the first week keep the
mc'.iibranes dissolved if possible. The in
halation of spirits of ammonia is useful.
Gargles may give some relief, Gener
ous diet and good ventiilation are not to
he forgotten. According to the experi-
n:cnU made by Bricbeteau and Adrla, the
Tube membrane ia dissolved in diluted
lactic-acid, (of 20 per cent strength) in
frcm 14 to 15 minutes; in lime water in
from 18 to 20; in a saturated solution of
chlorate of potassa in from 20 to 25 min
utes. The fumes of tar and sulphur have
been recommended. I prefer the fumes of
to! en (tolou is the frankincense of the
ancients used for our savior) and
balsam of perue to tar, and sul
phate of scda to take internaly to kill the
Lnctcrh fungi. During the second week
efrgnog is to he given freely, new milk if it
can be taken, chicken broth etc. Oil of
turpentine is highly recommended of late.
Brandy should always be at the bed side
and it may be given freely as the signs
of heart failure come on. Mercury and
its compounds, and sulphur and its com
pounds are the chief medicines relied on
at the present time. The fumes of acetic
acid gives great relief when inhaled.
Dr. Sanders, of Grand Island has just re
ported the successful treatment of eight
cases with iodide of soda in drachm doses.
Jacobs has treated 1,000 cases with chlo
rides of mercury in half grain doses with a
very small mortality. Probably there are
no two more effective remedies than sul
phate hypo-sulphate of soda and brandy
Oninine iron and chlorate of potash
may be useful but they are not roliable.
All to be diluted with wat;r.
A physician is the best prescription and
be should visit the patient twice a day.
The clothes, and sheets of the patlpnt,
are to be boiled lu soda, 1 drachm to half
gallon of water. The room before occu
pation is to he fumigated with sulphur or
mercury.
PUBLIC FUNERALS.
There is no instance of taking diphthe
ria from a corpse after it was put in a cof
fin, but there is danger of taking it from
the other membeis of the family who at
tend. It is occasionally taken while lay
ing out a corpse, but could not be con
tracted from a cold corpse without diratf
tontact.
The Alliance tireator Ttiun It Loader.
The Farmers' Alliance, as the g-roat
farmers' organization that is awaken
ing so much alarm ia political circles,
is infinitely greater than any one or a
'dozen men in it. There Is not an in
' dividual member enrolled on its list
'of membership, from the president
down, that would not be given to un
derstand by evidonco most unmistak
able that his services is only necessary
in, so far as his utterances and influ
ence harmonizes with tho demands of
tho united organization. No miOn, we
caro not who ho is. or what ha3 been
his past services, can de?inta a hair's
breadth from tho course mapped out,
but what ho is chccltel by a reminder
that tho path in which ho is to walk
is as straight and narrow as tho way
to glory, and tho admonition, "walk
thou in it," accompanies tho reminder.
Thci-o is 110 instance row recorded
whero any one man or set of men who
attempted to run tho machine to suit
his or her own personal ambition, but
what ho or they have coino to gnat.
If this is s: of those, within tho
ranks, it is nls: eminently' trtto of
those without, i.ud has been already
forcibly illustrated. This is 0110 of the
most significant facts which " poes to
make up tho grand ajrgregalo of testi
mony that tho Alliance is most thor
oughly organized, and is a unit in
its conception of the evils against
which it is contending, and thoroughly
in harmony as to the remedies
necessary to correct existing abuses.
No outside issues seem to disturb or
distract They have thoir eyes and
minds steadfastly fixed upon tho goal
they have sot out to roach. Kidicule,
sophistry, abuse or appeal arc equally
vain. They are moving as an ava
lanche, and gathering in volume of
members as they move, and defeat
and disaster awaits every issue or
policy which impedes thoir advance.
One year ago politicians scorned and
ridiculed it; one year hence they will
tromblo and quako as they are scat
tered like chaff in tho current which
accompanies it. Tho cloud i.s gather
ing; tho storm is approaching. Its
bursting will not have been w ithout
warning. Wc arc an army of men,
every oao of which is a leader, and
the singleness and oneness of purpose
quiets discord and smothers jealousies.
A long communication in a reoont
Issue of a partisan political paper at
tempts to prove that tho governmr-'it
does not lend tho national batiks t: r
money of circulation under the p: sil
ent system. It is admitted that the
government makes the dies, prints the
bills, turns them over to tho banks
and k'liarnntoes their ultimate redemp
tion, and to mako it perfectly safo
from loss takes a deposit of bonds
from the bank us collateral to secure
tho payment of all obligations by the
bank, and as a remuneration charges
tho banks 1 per cent per annum. If
that is not a loan then the treasury
notes proposed to bs advanced on the
collateral under the sub-treasury plan
is not a loan, and if the 1 per cent per
annum is not interest the 2 per cent
charges on the use of the money in
the sub-treasury plan is not interest
Verily this is making a distinction
without a difference. When it comes
to technical hair splitting it is possible
that neither is strictly a loan, but,
practically, according to good old
farmer horso sense, both are loans.
