First of all he laid down a solid foundation of cement, which he got locally, and prepared for the building.

The Minuet gatherings of religious so- cieties and crank associations, famous all over the world, are on in full strength. Exeter hall, in the Strand, feondon, England, has a meeting of some sort, morning noon. and night One of the strangest of the meetings there has been that of the End-of-the- Worlders. The members of this curi- tus league are aged people. Practical- ly all bf them had different ideas re- garding the end of the ,world, but the audience applauded each alike. It was generally declared that exclusive signs and wonders will' commence Will 12 years' time, but nothing serious Will hap- pen until mg. Ohe bushy -whiskered prophet -said: "Socialists will by thie time be gov- erning the world and Will have adopt- ed as their trade mark the number 66a. This will be branded or tatooed on the• forehead of all who do not wish to oe beheaded and are members of •the So- cialist Labor party. "At or about this date the earth will be invaded by 200,000,000 infernal 'demons, probably from Mars. These de- mons will begin to „kill the population. 'Finally :•will come Armageddon, • the • greatest of battlee, in which eall-ea the people of the world will fight the de - glens. "The result will be i draw, but not unlit both sides' have absolutely exter- minated. Then down will come the cur - fain, for that will be the end of the Worldn Another speaker was heroic enough to take some exception to these state - meets. He said the world would drive out the devil this year but he would ow into pewee again in three years. As regards the big battle with 200,000,- M0 devils he eves sure it wouldn't Mat- ter if there were 500,000,000 for the Arch- angel Michael's boned to win. Among the signs seriously' put for- ettard.by Some speakers, in conneetion the nearness of the end of the world were 'tne San Frei -lethal earth- quake. the marriage of the King of Spain, the size of Europeare. armaments, The unemployed ,problemS; rearing ef •ocenne, whirlwinds and tornealoes.

C. Outhrie, la: the DIAL PhYstological Laboratory at. the 'University of Citi - cage), diecoveries, have been Made that premise to revolutioniie surgery. While all the experiments have been performed on dogs, tide object was to aseertain methods of surgery that, count bet used on human being e 'to traneforeh veins into arteries, transplant organs and even to substitute the arteries and veines of an animal for the diseased arteries and veins of a raan. At the present time Drs, Carrel and Guthrie are watching half a dozen dogs that are apparently thriving with their vehis and arteries transposed in various ways. Among the facts discovered by the surgeons are these :- METHOD OF OPERATION. The transplantation of , veins on arteries produces, from a functional point of view, the transformation of veins into arteries. Transplanted veins adapt themselves -to the new functions imposed. The new arteries transmit the blood indefinitely. After ten months the cir- culation through the arteries is appar- ently as active as, on the day of the operation. The ascertained facts are insignificant compared with what the expezimenters hope to accomplish by applying their method to human beings. In a scientific treatise they have indulged in specula- tion to only a moderate extent, but their hypotheses are decidedly startling to the lay mind.. They. hope by the transplantation of a. vein on another vein to produce a devi- ation of the blood from one part of the venous system to another. The signifi- cance of such deviation is that !healthy red blood could be introduced into areas where the blood has become stagnant or unhealthy. They hope to be able by this deviation to cure diseases of the liver, kidneys, and even of the brain. Softening of the brain is now incurable, but Drs. Carrel and Guthrie expect to see the time when by sending red blood surging through the brain they will be able to revivify the brain cella and re- store the patient to a normal mental condition 'RESULTS EXPECTED. If the discoeeries are carried to their logical conclusions various affections or the heart now considered incurable will be quickly reme.died, If your heart is not in the tight place it will be trans- planted. If your kidney or liner is not hitched to the proper kind of machinery your veins and arteries wit' be dissected and grafted together in odd ways that will give new, healthy life to the dis- eased organ. .' •More wonderful still, Drs. Carrel and Guthrie, it Is, declared, have Actually succeeded in reversing the eirculationeof the blood. The results- which they ex - peel fo obtain from the reversal of the. bloe O currents have ktog been sought lh medical world. neversal of the circulation in a man, It is said, will cure gangrene, which has _been the chief obstacle confronting sur- geons in the healing of internal wounds. Where ulceration of the lining of the heart Nes set in reversal of the circula- tion will soon. restore the tissues to a healthy Condition by an increase in the flow of blood. The same result, it is thought, can be obtained in the case of any diseased gland. The experiments of the two surgeons have been confined to the transplanta- tion of veins taken from the operated animal its*elf. In time. howener, they hope to transplant veins taken from another animal of the same species and even from an animal of a 'different species. 4 PAT MURPHY'S DOG. Has Become a National, Issue in British Politics. . • A common Irish dog of unspecified pedigree has .almost distracted a Cab- inet Minister, a Government department, an M.1, a Petty Sessions clerk, and a, policeman. So important, has the ob- noxious beast become that Ile was men- tioned in Parliament the other day. The dogs belongs to an • Irishman of the name of Patrick Murphy, of Dub- lin. Murphy applied for a lieense for it in- Irish. The clerk said he could not read' it. Murphy left in anger. The ponce' summoned Murphy- for keeping Inn unlicensed' dog. The summons was delivered on Good Friday, which was illegal, .so a second one was made out. Murphy was fined half a crown. Con- stable Huggins sauntered in front of Murphy's residence to keep observation on the private life of the dog. Mr. Sheehan, the member for Mid - Cork, heard of -th& vicissitudes of Murphy's dog. He put a printed notice en the Parliamentary paper enghiring if the Chief Secretary had also heard of Murphy's dog. He asked him to state the precise position of the clerk of the Petty Sessions who reneged a license for Murphnn dog. Mr. Bryce eommunicated with Dublin Castle: The authorities there enquired in Corn as to the ante- cedents of Murphy's deg. Mr. BrYnee Chief Secretary, for, Th. lend, explained the history of the ani - mat in the Hotiee the other day. Thue the time of ti, Wind Minister and many novernment officials, with some of the nation's money, was wasted because MP. Murphy applied for a Beene° for hie dog in the native tOngue.

One story - the story of the passengers Oa the steamship City of Para, as it mine in- to the bay immediately after the earth- quake and as they viewed the city from the rails has not been told her in the East. Major A. H. Hutchinson writes about that incident as follows in a letter addresseetio a friend: "A man I talked with the other day had rather a ghastly experience. He was aboard the _City of Para, which arrived the morning of the earthquake. All the paesengers were counting up the minutes till they could go ashore, and it was sometime before they noticed that the officers of the ship were dieSturbeel over something. No pilot came to meet them, and when they got into the bay there was something peculiar about its appearance.

With eager response, and gladness on his uneared for face, he replied: "Why, Normandy, sir." • The medicine was ready, and with a 8igh of relit( 1 sent him home.

The remarkable increase „ during the last few years in the number of women employed in various branches of Ma- mereial life in Japan must be regarded as a very significant sign .01 the times,, says the Japan Chronicle. Not content with the occupations which have almost exclusively belonged' to,. female, they have now invaded those. fields which have hithetto been considered as be- longing to the male sex. The experiment made in the employ- ment of women as clerks and book- keepers has been found satisfactory, and we now find girls employed by many of the firms and stores in Tato and other large cities. The employment of women in these various directitms will do much toward emancipating the Japahese wo- men, who have *MUG now been entirely dependent on men for the shaping of their destinies. It is only natural, under such circumstances, that female educa- tion should engage serious public atten- tion. Tho number of girls receiving a .achool edireation, it is slatedis now mare than eight times the number .of those at ebhool ten years ago. More re. markable are the flutes given by the Tokio Eduentional Society. Fifteen years ago the percentage of females admitted to 'the training school for teachers was less than 20, as compared with the men, but today the rate has been completely reversed, the number of male applicants being now about 15 per cent. of 'the total! It is said that ,wor-len. as leath- ern, are proving thernseivee euperioe to Men, -and that there is consequently InOre dereaptl for the former, than the latter. There is no doubt that the ern- ployMent, "woreen in tie various branches of business activity will Mead= ily increase with the advence of eduea. tiort among them. • Itt i‘t " 4 t le Amazon there are known to tuna at least n000 speetee of fish, and the usual landmarks -the 'Cliff House, Call building, dome of the city hall and Ferry building -were all stand- ing, and from a distance would appear undisturbed. "As the steamship slowly came up the bay the appearance of the water feont was not unusual, but the bay was strangely deserted. Not a ferryboat or a tug was in sight; the quarantine or cuestoms-house boats did not come out, and it was not till they.approached the Mission street wharf that they saw the arnolee, the wreckage of the wharves and a fireboat at work. Then a launch aproached and gave them news of the disaster. It was a situation that 'a story writer could make good use cf, and the gentleman who told ran about it paled as he enlarged upon the awful uncertainty they felt overthe desert- ed appearance; of the usually lively bay with its myriad boats." Major Hutchinson notes two striking instances of 'the grit of the San Frahcis- cane. He went downtown immediately after the quake and noticed the Signs over two new stores. One read, "There will be An 0 so different opening here In anew days." The other read, "There will be something doing_bere sheeny.' Concerning his experience in getting out a newspaper under difficulties, the major writes: "My 'small press had been shifted About eighteen inches to the west, but was not injured. I went to work and Set e up a little account of my trip down- town, which appeared in the extra, de- signing it for my regular use. 'THE FOLLOWING MOIINING I :planned the extra and, not wanting to use the little stook of paper I had for a regular issue, I printed it on the brown paper which was part of a stock that had been On the oflice four years. nOf coorse, the papers say there is employment- for everybody who will work, blit it is an absurdity, for how can a man who has been used to office work do much Imodling bricks? Ile would need a new pair of hands every hour. Besides that, the relief work has got into a snarl of red tape that makes a man work a week to collect a week's wages. The worst feature of this red- tapeism, .though, is to see great 'stores of needed goods lying idle for no ap- parent reason. Tons of . bread have spoiled and gone moldy at a time when it was badly needed. • At out nearest station we, did not get any bread at all for over a week, and then only in ,the proportion ef one loaf to a family of stk. ,Meat rth cut up" and, lies a day or two before 11. 18 distributed, and men are going' about wtth their feet tied up in rags while immense stocks of shoes are lying tied ap waiting for requisi- tions te be passed upon. In the way of clothing and tents there is more of .a supply on hand than has been distribut- ed and much of the f000d supply that was absolutely needed was spoiled by, rain ,a.rtn exposure. Lots of times can- ned goods were given out instead of fresh when fresh goods were epolling, in the depots. I do not think any of the main officers are responsible for this, but it is regrettable that some im- derstrtipper can so tangle things up in a time ef need."' SIMELE LIFE APOSTLE.

It Is. a quadrangular building with towers at The four corners, surrounded by a deep moat over which there is a bridge end a drawbridge. The walls of many of the rooms are covered with tapestriese of which , the most notable are some fine Gobelins after Teniers. and some copies of Goya's pictures made in Madrid. But perhaps the most inthrenting work in the whole building is the best painting that has come down to us of the Admiral' Gas- per Becerra, the stories of Medusa, An- dromeda, and Perseus on the vault and walls of one of the smaller roman but it has been shamefully treated and link- ered. On the right of the stairease is an equestrian portrait of John of Aus- tria, the bastard of Philip II.; it is ,at- lributeci to Ribera, and bears an imi- tation of his signature, but it is obvi- ously a forgery or, at the best, a bad 'copy. Elsewhere there are some fairly 'good allegorical frescoes by Bayou and Mariano ° Maella, a few paintings by Morales, two' nice little Vanioos, a Ocean of a Velasquez that ought to be burned, land a Rubens in the chrome) lithogra- phic manner. In the chapel, which was built in the reign of Philip V., there is a good St. Ferdinand, by Lucas Jordan, over the high altar. h The furniture 18 fairly good -in the drawing room beautiful classic frames in gold and white, covered with purple damak; the curtains and screens ef Talavera silk are unusually fine, and there are some bronzes. and candelabra of merit. There is a profusion of china, which, however, amounts to nothing more than a,nice little, collection . of bis- cuit figures and the inevitable gilded and painted vases of royal parlors. Besides the palace itself and an attend- ant building, in which are- the stables and staff rooms, a little way to the north is a pretty title building called the Prince's house, built by Charles IV. be- fore he came to the throhe. Owing to theeeneegy of Colonel Rip- olles, the chief "engineer of the royal household, to the incessant personal at- tention of pork_ Alfonso himself, aril to the .labor of 200 workmen, a, great trensformation to modernity has been made in the old house.

A eensational statement -was made the other day before the Academy of Medi- cine by Professor Dieulafoy, who said that many persons merely suffering from muco -membranous or sebulous typhle- colitis are wrongly operated on for ap- pendicitis. Muco -membranous typhlo- colitis is characterized by periods of constipation and diarrhoea, the ejec- tions having certain characteristic fea- tures. There is pain in the right iliac fosse which resenibles that caused by appendicitis. Dr. Dieulafoy pointed out That ite was very rare for a person to suffer from appendicitis and typhlocolitis at, the same time, and in any case appendicitis Is neither"' a cure for nor a result on typhlocolitis. He expressed the opinion that the number of. erreors of diagposis and un- necessary operations performed were ever on the increase. It had been dein- onstrated, he said, that mtico-membran- ous typhlocolitis has nothing to do with the appendix, the ablation of which cOnsequently had no curative effect whatever. It was necessary,. therefore, that great care be taken in making the dlagilosis, as it was time to put an end to useless suegical operations. Dr. Dieulafoy said he was as much as ever hr favor of the ablation of the ape pendix in eases of real appendicitis. Dr. Doyen fully StippOris the views of Dr. Dieulafoy, and *says :- "I could cite many cases NAhere nil operation was decided upon merely be. the diagnosis was insuflOcient. There has been a tendency blindly to decide Upon surgical intervention, anti operations have even been carried out on patients in the oat/ singes of tk- nhoid°, fever. "Quite reeently a ehild was brought to me. 1 was •fteked le proreed to an operation for appendicitis.
