A report comes from London that Dr.
Peter Stlona , a Russian physician living' '
'
there , has dovlssd an apparatus , In which
electricity la a factor , whereby the blind
way bo mode to sec , oven , when their oycs
arc hopelessly destroyed. Dr. Sltcng ex
plains that his Invention Includes an ap
paratus which focuses nn Imago of the ob
jects before It as the human eye does.
This Image Is then conveyed by electricity
to the brnln , Independently of the oycs ,
whether the subject potfieteos them or not.
Dr. Stlengwill not divulge tlio complete
nature and working of his Invention , because -
cause ho says It la not yet perfected.
A correspondent of the New York Journal ,
who visited Dr. Stlcns and Induced him to
glvo a demonstration of his Invention , re
ports : I was tnkcn Into a pmall dark room
end there heavily blindfolded. The doctor
then struck a number of matches , which I
heard , and flashed a Inmp before me , as ho
told me , but I tvas not able to perceive the
faintest glimmer of light ,
Dr. Stlcns then connected my head with
tils apparatus. Immediately I began to
eec a dim light , which suffused my whole
eurroundlngfi. Tbo doctor then asked mo
It I could distinguish any object. I looked
end caw a hand held up with outstretched
flngors , which I could distinguish rlnarlv.
The light gradually became brighter and
I saw other objects In the room. I could
distinguish chalro and tables. It seemed
to mo that I could see moro and moro all
< ho tlrno and I had an Impression that I
ehould bavo been able to see perfectly If
I had remained In connection with the ap
paratus long enough.
While I was going through this experi
ment I felt n sensation llko that of a mild
electric current passing through my tem
ples. As soon as the apparatus was dis
connected everything appeared black to mo
an before.
Of course I am not able to declare posi
tively that I was not the subject of a
trick ; that the bandages over my eyes were
not manipulated In some way , or that the
X-rays did not produce the results which
I have described , but I was certainly unable
to detect any such fraud.
Several other newspaper men were experi
mented on In the same way by Dr Steins ,
tind all of thorn agreed that they could only
explain what they saw by accepting the
statement of his Invention.
The doctor , as I have eald , was not willing
to dlvulgo the entire secret of his Inven
tion , but ho was willing to explain the
principles on which It Is based.
"Man , " ho said , "does not see really with
his eyes , but with his brain. The cyeo are
only an Instrument for receiving Images ,
which are convoyed to the center of per
ception In the brain toy the optic nerve. The
blind man who perceives the size , shape
nnd nature of an object with his hands sees
In a limited sense. If men had evolved
without oyca , but with all their present
brain power , they would doubtless be able
to see by some other method. Some of the
lower animals have no eyes , < but. percelvo
light with their whole bodlvs.
"Now , If an Imago of material objects
can bo conveyed to the br.iln by some other
ngcncy ttuin that of the eyes , It follows that
n blind man who has a sound mind will be
nblo to oeo perfectly well. This Is exactly
what my Invention accomplishes.
"An'Image Is gathered ori'n ' screen Instead
of on the retina of the eye and la conveyed
directly by an electrical current to the brain.
Such a u e. of the electric current has al
ready been foreshadowed In the process well
known to science ns cataphoresls. By this
It Is possible to convey medicines , anes
thetics and other substances Into the In
terior of a man's body without his being
aware of It. By Its aid cocaine can be sent
through the solid bone , conveying Inucnsl-
folllty to ncrvo. or marrow ,
"My Invention may bo compared In certain l
respects to the telephone , -which receives f
an Impression of the human voice and reproduces -
duces It artificially somewhere else.
"Tho full development of this Invention
nnd the principles upon which It Is based
will lead , I hope , to many wonderful re
sults. "
Frpiictt Onerntors.
American newspaper men nro accustomed
to think that the only enterprising papers
1) nro In this country. The correspondent of
the Now York Sun at the Dreyfus trial
notes : "Papers tn Japan and even In Tur
key sent correspondents to tell this story
nt ncnnes. A paper which I bad never
heard cf In Norway ppent $100 a day to glvo
its readers an account of the trial , and a
elnglo Journal In Vienna expended more than
J20.000 In telegraph tolls at urgent rates. "
American telegraph companies are accus
tomed to doing big fents on occasions. The
FrenJi operators secin to bo as great
hurtleiB. Mr. Chamberlain adds : "Tho best
apparatus and most skillful cpcrators In
Franco were assembled at Ilennea for the
tremendous task of convoying the cows of
the trial to the ( our quarters of the world.
Considering the facilities available the rc-
Bult wan probably the best accomplished In
telegraphy in this or'any other country. OT
1
the first day moro than 650,000 words were
transmitted by telegraph alone. This quan 1
tity was exceeded on the day Laborl wa j
shot , and on other days It varied between
the maximum nnd a minimum of 350,000
words , " And the copy was written in all
eorts of foreign language ; , too.
Copper mill Aluminum ,
Ono of the unexpected effects of the In-
rrcnso In the prlco of copper , reports the
Philadelphia Hccord , has been the disap
pearance from circulation tn China of ft
largo part of the currency , which consists j 1 1
chtolly of copper coins called "caah. " It
has always been the custom In China to
make the weight of the cash coins equivalent
to the full Intrinsic vnluo of the metal , and
since the prlco of copper has nearly doubled i
In the last two years It has been discovered
that the purchase of these coins for tbo
purpose cf melting Into copper Ingots Is n
profitable operation. This business has
been quietly conducted on such a large scale
that there Is now a great scarcity of cur
rency in China. The September Issue of
the United States Consular Reports contains
a long article on the United States trade
in China , by United States Consul Fowler
Of Chefoo. The consul ays.
"A real difficulty which the government
has to face Is the scarcity of copper cash
a difficulty which \a \ likely to increase , as
the Intrlnolc value of the cash is actualy
greater than that of the sliver for which
they at present exchange. The copper
money purchasable for R tael of sliver costs
the government for metal ( copper and zinc )
net Icsa than 1,354 ta ls , which docs not
include the cost of minting. Tills condition
ha4 not only restricted coinage , but has
resulted In a serious disappearance of the
coliu , duo to melting down for the sake
of the copper ; and a further fall la to be
feared. "
Not long ago It was reported that several
tons of copper coins had arrived at New
York from India , where they h d been
bought up and exported to be melted into
In gotis.
Tbo great increase In tbe prlco of copper
U ft very serious matter to all the electrical
Interests , for the tcllinp ; price of copper I
Is about double what It wao a couple of
years ago. While copper has been rising In I
price per pound , aluminum has been de- J
dlnlnR , RO that nt the present relative rates
the Utter Is cheaper so far as bulk Is con
cerned. Thlfl Is owing , of course , to the
light weight of the aluminum as compared
with copper. The price of copper per pound
now Is about ono-hMf the price of aluminum
per pound , hut n casting made of copper
and zinc will weigh about three times as
much as an aluminum casting made from
the- same pattern , and It has been found
that the aluminum can be made much stlffcr
and harder by melting a small quantity of
nickel with the metal.
The rise in the prlco of copper has In
creased the market value ot several well
known copper mines to an almost Incredible
degree and the profits ot some of three
copper-producing companies nre far larger
than those of the moot Important gold mlnn
In the country. U Is apparent that It the
demand for copper shall continue to be
so insatiable the price must continue to
climb toward a still higher point ; but It
so , It Is equally certain that some substi
tute must bo found for copper , or else there
will be a falling off of now electrical en-
tcrprlocs.
Aluminum trolley wire Is now being
tested at Niagara Falls. U Is the same
size ns the copper feed -wire , Is much
cheaper , will not rust and can stand a llg
load of electricity.
ItocntKcn Ilnj'x In Surnery.
From time to time tbo records ot the med
ical profession glvo evidence of the Important
plnco which the Hocntgen rays have per
manently takrn In both medicine and sur
gery. The fluorescent screen has now
reached such a degree of perfection that
with fluoroscope In hand , the physician can
detect the minutest movement of the heart
and lungs , and tbo least change In the action
of the diaphragm can be watched and stud-
led at leisure In the living subject. In
short , there Is scarcely any change In con
nection with th"e lungs and the heart nnd
great vcascls which cannot now be seen
and photographed , and scarcely a disease
of the chcet or of the organs which It con
tains concerning which the mcst valuable
Information cannot bo obtained. A surgeon
can now tell whether Injured bonea nro In
their proper relative situation without touch
ing the splints or giving the pntlcnt n mo
ment's pain. Ono of the most beneficent
results of radlograpblc progrccn Is the fact
that , the detection of renal calculi can now
bo looked forward to with a fair degree
ot certainty. Dr. C. M. Moulin believes that
before long the examination of a patient's
chest through the fluoroscope will bo con-
clJored as much n matter of course In all
doubtful case * as nn examination with the
stethoscope Is at the present time , Tliu
X-ray is now employed for the detection ot
incipient pneumonia , also In cases whcra
the symptoms suggest tubercular meningitis ,
and in pleurisy with effusion or empyema.
A cure la recorded of tuberculosis of the el
bow Joint. The Joint was exposed to the ray
two or three times n week for two hours
each time , until the total exposure was about
twelve hours. After each exposure a wet
dretslng was applied. Boon nil algn of In
flammation had disappeared and tbero was
no return of the disease. Extraordinary re
sults have been recorded In the treatment
by X-ray of lupus and various skin diseases ,
chronlo eczema , favus , psoriasis , etc. , and
now children are regularly examined by the
eamo medium , the size and position ot the
liver and spleen , as well as of the kidneys ,
being even moro readily determined than
with adults. By giving subnltrate ot bis
muth with bread and milk , changes In the
size and shape ot the stomach after a meal
may bo followed.
Electricity In Cnpnalen.
In New York the latest thing Is electricity
In capsules. A company has been formed
with $15,000,000 copltal to supply power In
ten and twelve-grain capsules , which can
bo bought by the box and carried around
, ln the vest-pocket. One of these capsules
will furnish""electricity enough "to keep a
light burning all night. The 'assertion Is
made by a representative of the company
that the light can be furnished at leas than
one-fifth of a mill per lamp per hour for
each slxteen-candlo Incandescent globe. The
company Intends to sell power nt 10 cents
an hour for one full horse power. The cap-
sulca can be used for propelling automobiles ,
and It Is said that they will take up so
IHtlo room and welEht that the weleht of
tbo nutomobllea will be reduced materially.
A battery of the new power , weighing only
360 pounds , can run an automobile four or
five times as long and as far as the largest
batteries now in use , which weigh 2,000 or
3,000 pounds. If nil this can really be done
It will revolutionize the automobile Industry
and remove one ot the strongest objections
to Its use Its great welglit. Automobiles
ns nt present made , weigh 4,000 pounds and
upward , the heavy burden they are obligee
to carry for propulsion making it Impera
tively necessary to construct the carriages
on the strongest and heaviest ncale. When
ono can buy electricity in the same shape
as a box ot quinine pills U will be possible
to use It for many purposes for which 1
Is unavailable at present. The president o
the company , John Feat , who is the din
coverer of the new power , says It can be i
used In the mcst remote and Isolated places I
as easily as In New York City , and that a ( !
farmer can employ It to heat and light his
house , to draw water , to make butter , saw
wood , run a threshing machine , drive fans
anil keep out flics. If It can do all this
men will no more think of being without
capsules than of going down town without
change In their pockets.
Stenni 1C n K ! no Here to Stny.
"Ten years from now , " said a prophetic
gentleman at the Illinois Central depot to
a New Orlans Times man , "these ugly ,
( snorting , odoriferous steam locomotives \\lll
be as antiquated as cocked bats and rrlnn-
lincs. In their place we will see- light nnd
graceful electric engines , without smoke ,
without " "Hold on a bit ! " Interrupted a
practical machinist , who happened to be tn
tbo group addressed. "I don't like to destroy -
stroy a pretty picture , hut It's extremely
doubtful whether you or anybody else will
even se an electric engine pulling a fast
train. That light , graceful affair you wore
just describing wouldn't bulge a single car ,
no matter how much energy It developed ,
U would simply stand still and the wheels
would spin around. To secure enough ad
hesion to pull a heavy load requires weight
and lots ot It , nnd an engine that exerts a
starting power of 20,000 pounds must weigh
between forty-five and fifty tons. That Is a
stubborn fact and can't be dodged , and as
there would be no scnso In loading an. elec
tric englno with mere dead metal It Is H
hundred to ono that tbo power , if It Is
over used In ordinary railroading , will be
applied In some other way. The chance *
am that each car will have a motor of Its

At any rate the usual fancy portrait of an
electric locomotive at the head of a train
Is a rclentlflc Impossibility , I know , ot
course , that there are n number of specially
constructed electric engines now In actual
' use , but they are adapted to peculiar con-
ntttons and not to general service. It may

Trinity Cathedral was crowded yesterday
morning with a notable audience assembled
to witness the consecration ot Hov. Arthur
Llewellyn Williams , bishop-coadjutor of the
dloceso of Nebraska. All the pews wore
taken early In the morning , an hour or more
before the beginning of the lengthy scrvlcw ,
and at 10 o'clock , when the ceremonies
opened , there was scarcely standing room.
H was a representative audience of prom
inent Omaha people , with a. distinguished
aggregation of visiting clergy. The corn-
monies were Impressive and grand.
A striking feature of the opening core-
montcfi was a procession of the clergy nnd
others which formed In Gardner Memorial
parish house and marched up the center
aisle of the cathedral , acting under dlrcc-
lon of the master of ceremonies. In addl-
lon to the clergy were members ot the
choir , cross bearers , lay officers of tbo dlo-
cesa of Nebraska and others. This proces-
ilon waa an Inspiring sight. While the
ilehops were entering the sanctuary the In-
trolt , Psalm cxxl , was sung.
Special effort bad been made to provide
music of a high class for the occasion And
.ho effort was a success. In addition to the
regular cathedral choir there were numerous
noted singers from other churches , BO that
a great volume of voices was heard. Mrs.
Ella Cotton was prominent In arranging the
music and hymns and anthems were freely
nterwoven throughout the program.
Kt. Rev. George Worthlngton , S. T. D. ,
lili , D. , bishop ot Nebraska , wea tbo presid
ing bishop and consccrator. The co-consc-
craters were 1U. llev. John Francis Spaul-
dlng , D. D. , bishop of Colorado , and lit. Rev.
Theddore Nevln Morrison , D. D. , bishop of
Iowa. llev. Morrison served as substitute
for lit. llev. William Edward McLaren , D.
! > . , D. C. L. , bishop of Chicago , who was
unable to attend on account of Illness. Rev.
McLaren had been mentioned on the pro
gram as the preacher of the official sermon
nnd In hie absence Rev. Morrleon delivered
the sermon ,
lIlHbop JIorrlHon'n Sermon ,
Ho talked at length on the evidences of
the existence of a God ; evidences that maybe
bo seen la every day worldly affairs. He
legarded belief in a supreme being as a vltul
Issue , and Indicated that the world In gen
eral knows positively the existence of n
God. He referred to the great numbers that
have professed belief In Christian science ,
and while he was not advocating such doc
trine , he used it as an Illustration to show
that the Christian Scientists have built up a
largo following because they nre pronounced
In their belief In a God. Rev. Morrison Is
one of the most prominent of all the blahopa.
Ills sermon was well received.
At the conclusion of Bishop Morrison's
sermon Rev. Williams arose and received an
eulogy pronounced upon by the speaker.
Illnhop-CnndJiUor In Prevented.
After the music that fojlowed Blsaop Mor
rison's sermon the elected bishop , veatcd
with his rochet , was formally presented to
the presiding bishop. Testimonials of the
standing committee of the dloceuo of Ne
braska were read by Very Rev. Campbell
Fair , D. D. , president of the standing com
mittee. Rt. Rev. Isaac Lea Nicholson , D.
D. , bishop of Milwaukee , read the certificate
ot the presiding bishop of the church. The
commission of the consecrators was read by
Rt. Rev. Frank Rosobrook Mlllspaugh , D.
D. , bishop of Kansas. Then came ono of the
Impressive features of the coneecration. . The
bishop-elect appeared and promised con
formity to his obligation , using the follow
ing form :
"In the name ot God , Amen. I , Arthur
Llewellyn Williams , chosen bishop-coadju
tor of the Protestant Episcopal church In
the diocese ot Nebraska , do promise con
formity and obedience to the doctrine , dis
cipline and worship of the Protestant Kpls-
copal church In the United States of Amer
ica. So help mo God , through Jesus Christ. "
In repeating his obligation , Dlshop Wil
liams spoke slowly , clearly and distinctly ,
so much so that every word could be heard
even In the rear end ot the church.
Prayer followed in a mcst Impressive man
ner and the audience responded to the fol
lowing form :
"That It may please Thee to bless this our
brother elected , and to send Thy grace upon
him , that ho may duly execute the offlco
whercunto he Is called , to the edifying o !
Thy church , and to the honor , praise and
glory of Thy nnmo.
"Answer. We beseech Thee to hear us
good Lord. '
Obligation of n IIIMmp.
Presiding Bishop Worthlngton , sitting In
his chair near the holy table , examined the
bishop-elect In accordance with the ritual o
the church , such examination consisting In
the asking and answering of questions re
lating to the obligation of a bishop. During
this feature the congregation stood. At the
close of the examination the blshop-elcc
vested himself with the full Insignia of his
rank , while the choir tang. Then the bishop
elect kneeled and the hymn , "Venl Crcato
Splrltus , " was sung over him , the presiding
bishop beginning and the other btsbop
answering by versos. At the close of thl
j ' Bishop Worthlngton administered the cou
{ ' eocratlon as set forth In the prayer book
i pages G28 and 520. The offertory followed
A collection was takun and a satisfactory
offering was mode for the maintenance o
missionary work In the dloceeo of Nebraska
Communion service and the singing of an
thorns closed the consecration program , th
retrocession , hymn 507 , being the conclud
Ing number.
ZVotnblo Church Function.
The consecration of Bishop-Coadjutor Wll
Hams was an event which had been looke
forward to for weeks by Episcopalians not
only in Nebraska , but In Iowa , Illinois , Cole
ratio and many other states. It was one of tb
most notable church functions with whtc
Omaha has over been honored. It brough
tcgether eminent members of the clerg
from several of the larger cities , Among
. thcso distinguished visitors are Rt , Rev.

Dean Campbell Fair , D. D. , of Trinity Cathedral -
| thedral , was active In arranging for thu con
secration. One of the most dlfllcult propoel.
1 tlona he encountered was to provide admls-
j slon for all those making application.
; Tickets were Ufced , and the supply was ex-
j hausted so rapidly that Dean Fair an-
| nounced last night that many of those en-
1' ' titled beyond doubt to gents at the service
I had not been supplied. This gore to show
hnw great was the demand for admission ,
The entertainment of visiting clergy and
others was carefully looked after by mem
bers of the parish ,

SIOUX FALLS , S. D. , Oct. 18. ( Special , )
There Is a possibility that the Sioux In
dians may again actively resent what they
deem an Infringement on their rights. Ac
cording to Information received from Pine
Rldgo and Rosebud Indian agendas , thu
Sioux on those two reservations are greatly
wrought up over the report , telegraphed
from Washington a few days ago , that the
commissioner of Indian affairs had decided
to recommend to the secretary of the In
terior that the practice of distributing
hides "gratuitously" to Indians at various
agencies In the west bo discontinued.
The'Sioux will protest strenuously against
such a change and if the department per-
clsts In making the change trouble can be
expected at both Rosdbud and Pine Ridge
agencies , and especially at the latter agency ,
as the worst and mcst turbulent element ot
all the Sioux bands are gathered there ,
bavin ? eone from other reservations to Pine
Ridge agency during the Indian trouble in
the winter of 1890-1 , and are still there.
The Indians object to It 'being stated
that the hides are distributed gratuitously
among them. Ever since the treaty ot 1868
was negotiated with the Sioux Indians the
distribution among them cf the hides .taken
from cattle killed for Issue to th'em as beef
rations has been regarded as ono of their
unquestioned rights. In fact , different sec
retaries of the interior have at various
times decided that the hides belonged ex
clusively to the Indians and that they
could do what they pleaeefl with thorn.
