FIND NEW GURE

French Surgeon Gives Medicine to
Government for Testing Purposes
—Injection in the Brain.
PARIS, Dec. 22.—Dr. Levabiti, one
of the best known surgeons of this
country, today announced that he had
secured a cure for paralysis. The new
cure is injected into the brain. The
discoverer of the new cure has also
announced that he has made numer
ous tests upon animals and humans,
with the aid of other physicians, and
that 90 per cent cf them have been
successful.
The medicine used in the operation
has been turned over to the govern
ment to make such further tests as
may be desired.
AUTOSKILLMANY
IN NEW WCIII
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—During the
past eleven months automobiles have
killed 180 persons in the city of New
York. Most of those killed were eith
er very old persons or children. The
condition has become so bad that the
police magistrates the past month
have been imposing heavy jail sen
tences on all chauffeurs who are ar
rested for speeding and especially
those found operating machines while
under the influence of liquor. A fall
ing off in the number of killed have
been noted and the police will con
tinue the work of arresting drunken
drivers.
The Engineer.
(By George Fitch.)
The engineer is the large, quiet man
in overalls who a«jts as mahout of the
modern locomotive.
In the last 30 years locomotives
have quadrupled in weight. But the
same sized engineers are still used,
and are giving very good satisfaction.
The engineer is one of the few men
who can ride free on our railroad
trains nowadays. His !s a pleasant
life. All he has to do is to sit on a
cushioned seat and career blithely ov
er and through the space and scenery
and various obstructions.
He does not have to work at all.
The fireman does the work. All the
engineer does is to pull the throttle
and yank the reverse lever and ma
nipulate the brake and watch the
' steam gauge and supervise the forced
! draft and jolly along the headlight
dynamo and lubricate the steam dome
• and keep an eye on the superheater
1 and block up one side occasionally,
: when the high pressure cylinder head
blows out.
The rest of the time he rides en
tirely at his ease and amuses him
self by wondering if he can pick up
the next switch signal soon enough to
stop the train if it happens to be fed.
The engineer, it will thus be seen,
leads a jolly life and enjoys a great
deal of travel during the year. He
usually travels about 250 miles a day
and when he gets off his engine he
looks like Othello in overalls. If he
travels too fast the company lays him
off for speeding. If he travels too
slow the train dispatcher reports him,
and it he suddenly stops traveling al
together in the middle of the journey
the coroner usually sits upon him and
the officials try to prove that he
wrecked his train and himself on puiv
pose.
The engineer is always present at
alt train wrecks, and usually he is
in a reserved seat in the front row.
When the engineer observes anoth
er 200-ton engine approaching his on
the same track at the rate of 60 miles
an hour he is supposed by etiquette
to remain at his post. This he usu
ally does and when the wreckage is
cleared away he is discovered holding
the attacking engine in his lap.
There are a great many different
causes of wrecks in this country, but
there is usually one standard result.
The engineer is ruined for all fu
ture use as a citizen. It almost
seems, sometimes, as if many rail
road companies used no precautions
against accident beyond supplying
engineers to serve as buffers between
the opposing trains.
