SAYS nix CURED CONSUMPTION.
Italian Scientist claims to Have Invented
a Gas That Will Do It.
Rome, May 15. -Prof. Cervello, at the
Palermo Hospital, has invented what he
claims is a cure for consumption. The
principal feature of the cure is the inhal-
ation of gas produced by a powerful
antiseptic called formalina. Cervello says
he has tried the method on 20 consump-
tives in the third stage of the disease in
the Palermo Hospital. Two died from
debility before the cure could operate; 13
'recovered within a month, and five are
fast recovering their health. A factory for
the manufacture of formalina is being
erected. Treatinent is expected to cost $10
a day. Prof. Cervello will shortly go to
Berlin to lay his discovery before the
Berlin Congress on Tuberculosis.
Is Title liritain's Scheme?
, London, May 15. -Twelve million dol-
lars is the sum paid annually in Great
Britain for cablegrams to British colonies
and America. There is a scheme to con-
nect all existing land lines, by which it
is thought this outlay could be reduced
75 per cent. By building a Ebert line
across Afghanistan a complete land line
can be established between London and
Bombay at llo a word cost, as against el
by cable. Only 850 miles of land line is
necessary to connect London with Mel-
bourne.

When his arms were first seized tWa

him, with revolvers pointed to bis bead,
end be was told that "it you open yonr
peep we will shoot you," They took front -
his pocket a pair of handcuffs, alla, Vas-
ing his bands behind him, handcuffed
him, and ha Was then marched by the two
men toWartie the bank. Before be was
gagged Metcalf said; "Boys, is this a
gamer" thinking it might be theta local
sports playing a trick on him. One
promptly answered, "NO, It's business;
we are going through thebank,." Re Waa
taken a few steps south of King street,
beside the bank, and his legs tied with *,

One znan stood by bim as be sat on
the eidowelk with Metcalf's revolver,
which they had Taken from Linn in band,
While the others, at least five in number,
proceeded to do the jab. A large pane of
glass was crit with a ale from a west
window rend an entry mitered to the
manager's office. The front door was
pried open. Very soon he heard an ex-
plosion, tho men baying run OD to the
street by the front door. They immedi-
ately returned to the building and in h.
few minutes there was another explosion.
The burglars bad now secured entrateer
to the inside vault, where they rifled tbe
contents of several boxes, some belonging
to the resmager and others to customers
who had placed them there for safe keep-
ing. Before the third explosion, whick
blew open the massive safe, Metcalf was
moved a Yew yards farther south so as to
be away. from danger should the twills be
blown crut. This explosion, like the
others, was very successful, and it was the
work of only a few minutes th secure tbe
contents.
The amount of money stolen Is over
$11,000 belonging to tee bank, and $90
to the Canada Life Insurance Company,
for which Mr. W. Jones, the manager,
Is agent; 8110 belonging to the Queen
Fire Insurance Company, both of which,
were in a private pouoh. Many valuable.
papers are also missing„ receipts, drafts,
etc.
When the burglars got through with
the Joh, which lasted only about 30 min-
utes, two of them carried M4tcalf into the
bank, laid him on the matting on the
-
floor, and left him there gagged and
bound. Ho soon began shouting, but not
till about 5 o'clock was he discovered by
Frank 5. Garrett. Chief Richard Jarvis
was soon on the spot and removed the
handcuffs, and Mr. Metcalf was once
more at liberty.
The bank robbery has been discussed
on all sides and many theories advanced.
Some think the safe-crackers had an ac-
complice staying here for some time.
Others think they have spent a night or
two in the town in the guise of tramps.
Certain it is that their movements show
evidence of the familiarity with police
regulations and how to carry their
scheme to a successful issue with the least
disturbance.
