ELEPHANTIASIS ATTACK
MAY KILL WOMAN
! Formerly Weighed 145 Pounds
But Now Weighs 525 and Is
Daily Gaining Elesh.
New York, September 11.—
Physicians at the King’s county
hospital, Brooklyn, have there a
liiiist, remarkable case of that rare
di-ease, elephantiasis. The pa¬
tient is Mrs. Juliette Felt, of
Brooklyn, widow, 03 years old.
Before she was attacked by the
disease she weighed 11!) pounds.
She now weighs 525 pounds and
is gaining daily in size. Her skin
is thick, hard und coarse, like an
eleobant’s.
The disease first manifested it¬
self seven years ago. It, began
with an itching in one of her legs.
This ceased after a time, but it
was presently followed by a swell¬
ing of the limb, accompanied by
pam, Then she took oil weight
rapidly. The body, arms and
legs have been the parts affect¬
ed, but not her fact?.
8lie thought herself growing
fat from natural causes, but could
not account for the pain which
attended her increase in bulk.
| Two weighed years 3f>0 ago pounds she and found then she in
alarm she resorted to medicines
and dieting, but t hese measures
were of no avail. A week ago a
physician diagnosed her 'trouble
as elephantiasis. An idea of had the
effect of the disease may be
from the fact that each of her
legs is as large in circumference
as the body of a woll-dedeioped
man. The doctors do not yet
know whether she will recover.

BIlSitLL'S TUHTLE,
Career of the First American
Submarine Vessel.
IT WAS A MG ST UNIQUE CRAFT
Launched In 1775, It Made Several
Frantic Efforts to Blew Up British
Warships and Nearly Succeeded—Its
Untimely Fete.
The first submarine craft which real¬
ly navigated titular serious conditioas
was the invention of an American,
Daniel Bushuell of Sayhrook, Conn.
Busline!I was graduated from Yale
in 1775 and in that same year com¬
pleted the submarine vessel on which
he had been at work since 1771. He
does not seem to have named the boat
himself, but it has cotue to lie known
as the Turtle because of its shape.
The entrance to the vessel corre¬
sponded to the opening made by the
swells of a turtle shell at its head.
The boat was about seven and a half
feet long and six feet deep, large
enough to contain (lie operator and
sufficient air to last him half an hour.
It was ballasted chiefly with perma¬
nent lead ballast. In addition to this,
s mass of lead 200 pounds in weight
could lie let down forty or fifty feet
below the vessel, enabling the operator
to anchor or to rise quickly to the sur¬
face in case of accident.
A water gauge illuminated by means
of a cork with phosphorus on it, which
floated on the water within the gauge,
registered the depth of the Turtle. By
means of a compass, also illuminated
with phosphorus, the operator was able
to direct the course of his vessel,
An oar formed on the principle of
an old fashioned screw was fixed in
the forward part of the Turtle. The
operator by turning it in one direction
could propel the vessel forward or in
the other could propel it backward.
Another oar, placed near the top of
the Turtle, worked on the same prin¬
ciple. By means of the latter the
■operator, after having established the
equilibrium of the vessel, could move
it either upward or downward. A rud¬
der in the after part of the Turtle could
be used for sculling.
The entrance to the boat was elliptic¬
al and so small as to barely admit one
person. It was surrounded by a broad
elliptical iron baud, the lower edge of
which was let into the wood. Above
the upper edge of this iron band
was a crown resembling a hat. It
t hut water tight upon the Iron band,
to which It was hung with hinges,
turning over sideways when opened.
In the crown were three round doors,
one directly in front and one on each
side, and large enough to put the hand
through. These, when opened, admit¬
ted fresh air. Their shutters were
ground perfectly tight and were hung
with hinges. There were several glass
windows in the crown for the admis¬
sion of light and two air pipes.
A ventilator drew fresh air through
one of the pipes and discharged it at
the bottom of the vessel. The Impure
air escaped through the other pipe.
These, of course, wore used only when
the Turtle was floating on the surface
of the water. The valves opened au¬
tomatically when they came out of the
water and closed as soon as they en¬
tered it.
When the operator wished to de¬
scend be placed his foot on the lever
£
the vessel, thereby allowing the water
to enter the tank. When a sufficient
*rnantity had been obtained to cause
^ vessel to descend very gradually
JZ
forated „, ute .
The water could be discharged from
the tank by the brass force pump,
When the vessel leaked the bilge
could be pumped out by a similar
P«mp. Everything in the Turtle was
brought so near the operator that he
c°«W find in the dark what lie wished
and without turning either to the right
or to the left. A firm piece of wood
was framed parallel to the short diam
oter 0 f the vessel to prevent the sides
from yielding. This also served ns a
seat for the operator,
111 the fore part of the brim of the
brass crown was a socket with an iron
l >assin S through it. At the top of
f he tubt \ 11 "oml screw fixed
by means ot a ,ou " !lic!l P ase,oa
through the tube. When the wood
screw had been made fust to some ob
jeet it could be cast o:r by unscrewing
the rod. Behind the vessel and above
the rudder was attached a magazine
composed of two blocks of oak wood,
hollowed out so as to hold loO pounds
°f tmwilor. 1 his was fired by a perens
" orlv d cyice. A u>pe timed extended by means from of the clock- mag

gavc the operator time to retire to a
safe distance.
BnshneH made many trials cf the j
Turtle Itefore sending it against n Brit-;
ish vessel. He found it very difficult ■
to obtain a skillful operator. In re-1
part of UIs worU Ue wrotc j
111 “1st essay with the Mlb&Ul
r j ntf vessel I took care to prove Its
strength to sustain tim great pressure ;

deep tic fore 1 trusted any person to
descend much below the surface, and I
never suffered any person to go under (
water without having a strong piece of
rigging made fast to it until l found
him well acquainted with the opera¬
tions necessary for biosafety. and
“After that I made fflm descend

rising or sinking, row by the compass,

til I thought him sufficiently expert to
put my design into operation.
“I found, agreeable to my expecta¬
tions, that it required many trials to
make a person of common Ingenuity a
skillful operator. The first I employed
was very ingenious, but was taken sick
in the campaign of 1770 at New York
tiefore be had an opportunity to make
use of his skill and never recovered his
health sufficiently afterward.”
In the summer of 177u, when Admi¬
ral Howe lay with a formidable British
fleet iu New York bay, a little below
the , Narrows, Bushuell attempted to
destroy one of his ships, the Eagle, of
sixty-four guns. The operator whom
the inventor selected to make the ex¬
periment was Sergeant Ezra Lee.
lie had had little experience with the
Turtle und was therefore inexpert.
Lee, however, successfully navigated
the Turtle under the Eagle. He at¬
tempted to fix (he wooden screw into
her bottom, but struck, as he supposed,
a bar of iron which passed from the
rudder hinge and was spiked under
the ship's quarter.
Bushuell said that had Lee “moved
a few inches, which he might have
done without rowing, I have no doubt
but lie would have found wood where
he might have fixed the screw, or if
the ship were sheathed with copper he
might easily have pierced it; but. not
being well skilled in (he management
of the vessel, in attempting to move to
another place he lost the ship. After
seeking for some time lie rowed some
distance and rose to the surface of the
water, but found daylight had ad
vane(*<1 so far that he durst not renew
(he attempt.”
On Ms return from the Eagle. Lee
passed near Ooveraors island, which
was then occupied by the British. Be¬
ing in baste and thinking he was dis
covered by the enemy, he cast off the
magazine, supposing that it retarded
his movement. After an hour, the time
the mechanism was set to run, the
magazine exploded with grea t violence,
to the consternation of the enemy.
Two subsequent attempts were made
with the Turtle against the British
shipping. In one of these the operator
succeeded in getting his vessel under¬
neath a BriUsh ship, but the tide ran
so strong the Turtle was swept away.
Finally the British sunk a* American
boat which had the Turtle on board.
The inventor afterward recovered his
vessel but did nothing further with it.
His health was poor, and he was till¬
able to obtain money and assistance
with which to prosecute Uta experi¬
ments.—Navy.
He V/juried Coirq-atiy.
Shortly after 2 o'clock one bitter
winter morning a physician drove tour
miles iu answer to a telephone call.
On his arrival the man who had sum¬
moned him said;
“Doctor, I ain't iu any particular
pain, hut somehow or other I’ve got a
feeling that death la nigh.”
The doctor felt the man's pulse and
listened to his heart.
“Have you made your will?” he ask¬
ed finally.
The man turned pale.
"Why, no, doctor. At my age-oh,
doe, it ain't true, is it? It ean't be
true”—
“Who's your lawyer?"
“Higginbotham, but”—
“Then you’d better send for him at
once.”
The patient, white and trembling,
went to tlie phone.
“Who’s your pastor?” continued the
doctor.
“The Bov. Kellogg M. Brown,” mum¬
bled the patient “But, doctor, do you
think”—
“Send for him immediately. Your
father, too, should be sumriioned; also

“Say, doctor, do you really think I'm
going to die?” The man began to
blubber softly.
The doctor looked at him hard.
“No, I don’t,” he replied grimly.
"There’s nothing at ail the matter
with you, but I’d If to to be the only
man you've made a fool of on a night
like this.’’—Everybody's.
