J- ."l'he ducovery of a new. gas,. which the Inventor says will render possible the artificial production In any room of at mospheric conditions to 'combat tubercu losis, was announced here tonight. ,The gas Is made by combining ozone, or air treated with electricity, with plrtlne. the essence of turpentine. This gas Is allowed to permeate the air In a room and can be breathed without the j!;htcst Irritation. -The" Inventor of the gas, "William J. Knox, a New York chemist, said the gas had been in use for the last three mohtha , ai Bellevue hospital, the Metropolitan hospital on BlackweU'a Island and by sev eral physicians outside of hospitals. He added: ."Ono of. the chief features of this gas Is that It will enable physicians to re produce in any room, whether tn a hos pital or in a private house, atmospheric conditions such as are fqund only In high aJtUudes, where every consumptive has an excellent chance for recovery1. "'The reason Is that practically all so called, "bad air" Is air which contains UK normal amount of oxygen, but In whlch' tha oxygen Is for some reason Inert. By flooding a room with this new gas the oxygen will be put In such shape m to be readily taken up by the hemo globin ot tho blood and used as ah oxl dlier, which function the i'bad air" will not perform. "Tests have been made upon & number ot tuberculosis patients, and tn all rases a marked Improvement has taken place This chango for the better might be de scribed as a building up and filling out of the bodies ot the patients, who, at the beginning of the treatment were ema ciated and In all cases In secondary stages of anaemia." More than 109 patients suffering with tuberculosis have been treated by Dr. Bertram II. Waters of the Riverside hos-1 pltal. Regarding the new gas. Dr. Wa ters said: "While the real motlta of -the tests roust first be taken up by a medical journal, as they hardly are In the propr Xorm tor a layman to pass Judgment upon, i I will say that In all cases under my ob ecrvation, whether tuberculosis or sec ondary anaemia, the use ot this gas has brought the blood count to" normal "and above within a short time, ' and It has proved of great value In the treatment ot tuberculosis In all cases under my ob servation. It is also highly efficient as a germlddar agont." Philadelphia Ledger. AMERICAN GIRL NOT A, TYPE (till He Individuality Makes Her Dltterent frdm Olrls ot Other Nattous. Gutr.mxn Borgi urn's assertion that' thero Is no distinctive typo ot American girl has a supporter In Jerome "Connor sculptor, ot New York and Washington. "The American girl Is different from the women of other countries," said Mr. Connor, "but there is no pronounced American type. The distinguishing char acteristic of the American girl Is her personality, her Individuality, It you -like,; which makes. hec different from the girls of other, nations. But considered purely from the mold of features, tho American girl cannot be distinguished from the' English or the Irish gtrL A sculptured head and bust of an American girl can not be told from one of either the Irish or English girl. Therefore tho Irish, Eng lish, and American girls are essentially alike tn mold, but different, ot course. In personality and manners and neoes uarily In dress. If you were to olotho an Irish, an American, and an Unillsrt glfl In the same stylo of costume. It would be very difficult to distinguish their nationality.

There would not be the slightest dlffloulty In distin guishing a French girl from a German or Italian or Spanish gtrL But the fact that the American girt so closely resemv bios tho English and tho Irish girl mak It impossible for. us to assert that either Is a type. "Thero Is Unmistakable personality or Individuality about the American girl. and it Is nearly always disclosed when nh is animated.

BIBLE NAMESJHJT OF DATE Puritanic Handle. No fconR-rr Fn.li lonnMe in Nnrr nugland Families. A certain set of Christian names takn from the Scripture, havo been In use so long that we do not think of thorn as Hlble 'names. Among them ara Adam, Moses, Samuel; David, Daniel, Solomon, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Other, taken from tho saints, like Peter, Paul, John, Stephen, and Matthew, originally given to children because they were born on ths saint's day, are still so common that wo think of them as English names. These names antedate tho u.o of sur names, aa may bo Inforrcd from the fact tliat nearly all of them havo given rise to patronymics, like Jncobson, Peterson, and Btovenson. In tho twelfth century missionaries sent out by tho authorities used to baptize whole villages at- onoo, and to save time Invested all tho men with the namo of John or some other saint, and the women usually Mary or Martha. To distinguish the Johns some, additional name ilka Short or Strong or Whlto or Ulack was given him by the neighbors, and so Christian name, ana surname, wars united. After the reformation It became the fashion among the Puritans to give chil dren th name, of characters like the Old Testament and odd one. llko Mel- chlstdsk or Darxlllal were preierrea. Among those were Abel, Lovl, Jesoa, Amos, Asa, Isaiah, Bphraim, Gideon, Malaohi. Job, Abner, Hoaea, Esekloi, Jeremiah.. Zachartah. Ashar. 1311 and hundreds of others. . 1 iror some reason the use of these names has largely ceased. We can un- derstand why Ebenezer lias bean dropped, though once one of the most common ot names in Now England, for it Is dacidodly CRECIAM-Tncca aa "" 7 Cj unmclodtous.
