Hundreds of attempts an? mady to induce men who hold high rank to betray their country; and before Score-L Service. was brought to such a bw art as it is today, attempts were still more numerous. While he was governor of Gibrsl- tar the late Sir Henry Smith one day received a. mysterious letter offering 21,000 in return for " slight service," which the letter did not describe. _ .

But in a. few days came another letter increasing the oiier to £2,000, and covertly sug- gesting that the governor might turn a blind eye on the landing of men and weapqns bshindAhe.Re. Next, a notable sheik, Wait Ma- lwmct Ali, called and offered 23,- 000. finally 25,000, for the favor mentioned. _ Rising abruptly from his seat the gmernur, a big, powerinl man, took the sheik by the shoulders, twisted him round, an him to the door, and sent, him sprawling down a flight of steps. book.

Fe The great European war has seal the application of new methods i9] military surgery. It is said than among the French troops there have been very few cases of infect- ed wounds. The percentage of re- coveries has been s'surprisrairlyliirh, and relatively few limbs have been amputated. The methods employed in the treatment of the wounded are new within the last few years, and they represent the greatest ad, vance in operative and clinical sur- gery since Lister discovered and _revealed the principles of anti- lsepsis. A 551mm. Even so shore a time ago as dur- ing the spanish-America? war it was customary to wash wounds with soap and,water before apply- ing a. dressing. The surgeons in the French and German armies to-day do nothing of the kind, writes Dr. Rupert Blue, sungeon general of the United States public health ser- vice, in the Youth', Companion. Thev do not wash wounds at .all. They do not wash Wounds at an. Instead, the military doctor picks up a. wad of sterilized absorbent cotton with his forceps, dips it into a. bottle that contains a mixture of iodine and benzine, and gently (labs it over the lacernted part. Probing is avoided. Iodine is now recognized as the best germ killer in existence. Benzine isa first rate cleaner; as it evaporates it takes the grease offihe skin. To finish the cleaning and leave the wound in a germ free condition, ready.tor the application of the sterilized dress- ‘ing, the surgeon uses a mixture of lone-third iodine and two-thirds al- oohol. Mab- er Amputation" and Hospital Gangrene Is Almost l'nknowm . In bhe present conflict nothing is heard of "hospital gangrene." Happily. this worst horror of war has now been done away with. A few years ago hospital gangrene was a mystery ', no one Knew whence it came or how it was com- municated. To-day we know that' the malady is ,ttruuy!ta.blt to unpe- cifio germ, and that in former times when ignorance regarding it pre- vailed, it was spread, chiefly by the doctors and nurses in the military hospitals, as they went from pa- tient to patient dressing the wounds with bare, trerm-etrrryiyr hands. k .-. . , 7 - -,1s Wllall mic, an... ‘.....,-..u “V, Everything possible is done with inatrumeata.-If the wound is u out, forceps with her-rated edges for grasping is employed, after the wound has been cleaned, to draw the lips together. Then the lips are sewn together with a. needle that has been sterilized in boiling water. Suppoee that the leg bone has‘j been broken by a. fragment of a shell. When and: a thing happen- ed in the Spanish war, the surgeon, after carefully shaving the leg, washed it with soap and water. Now the military surgeon merely ‘disinfecte the wound with an iodine mixt,ure in the manner already de- scribed. He removes any frag- ments of bone or foreign matter, sets the leg, in order that the brok- en parts may unite, applies a eter- - - . J t___.., st., p“.- t, an“, .1...-_.__, The military surgeon to-day is ex- tremely reluctant to ampotate. The surgeon does not amputate un- less he is absolutely compelled to do so, and even then he cuts off as little as he can. If a. man's hand is crushed and even the little fin- ger can be saved, it is well worth saving. inasmuch as it can hold something. The soldier'ts leg may be trightfully injured, yet the sur- ’geon will not cut it off except as h Last Resort. Rather than do so, he will leave it alone for a while to take care of itself, after applying, of course, the necessary treatment with anti- septic cleansing and suitable dress- ing. His object is to give nature a chance to accomplish all that she can do. When amputation has to be performed. the patient's chance of recovery under modern condi- tions, with the help of the scien- tifie methods of treatment now unv iderstood, is certainly more than twice as good as it used to be. The number of men wounded 7n the battles on the present war is enormous, but the percentage of deaths is said to be remarkably small. That, of course, is largely owing to the improved methods of surgical treatment and also to the fact that modern rifle bullets inflict much mmaller and cleaner wounds than the/bullets of former days. Ulla-l .A-v ._,._,, - _ The bullet in use to-day, although only three-tenths of an inch, has great penetrating power. lt leaves the muzzle of the rifle at a speed of newly half a. mile a second, and easily passes through the thickest part of a. man. It does very little tearing. and 39 makes a, wound with iii"iri'Ues, which is much less like ly to catch and hold germs. In the present. conhiot a vast amount of buffering for the wound- ed is prevented by the use of an- aesthetics, especially where opera- tions have to be performed. It is likely that pie, French and Ger- mnnl in their field and base _ho/.spit- als are using, when amputation-s have to be made, such special pain deadeners as novocaine and seapo- lamine, which are injected into the spinal canal. They have the ad- vantage that they do not leaye a man helpless for many hours after the operation. They are utilized, however, only in cues when sper- Hospital G angrcne. _ "Fl-3"! ww. .. -v- EP-" the but}! ,t3tet'ylpown, in mod- ern' surgery iOeind used in the treatment. of the Wounded in this Mai.

Horn, 1n Forest and Stream, requires a. high tower, a. perforated pan, a. tank of wamer, and "ttnwertsd'.' led. . , Shot ia made by dropping molten lead from a. high point to the earth. The lead forms into globules just as the raindrops do when they fall from the clouds. Ordinarily, we do not realize that raindrops are little spheres, but under the proper com- ditions they frame, and we have hailstones, whidn may be called shot made of ice, _ . In the making of shot, pure load is melted and mixed with a.

If pure lead were used, it we d fall in the form of little barsxin V . of'xpupd shot. In order that5vhe globules may have plenty (if time to form, the lead must {all a. long distance, and so towers are built. The towers used to be made aahigh as two hun- dred feet and even more, but mod- ern towers are rarely over one hun- drgd and fifty feet. The perforated pan into which the molten lead is poured is at the top of the tower, and the globules of lead fall through the perforations into tanks of water at the bottom of the tower. The water cools them, and also prevents them from flat- tening out, as they would if they fell on a solid Mor. From the water the shot go to steam dryers. After drying the per- fect shot are separated from the im- perfect by means of glass tables in- clined enough so that the thot,) when poured on at one end of the table, will roll to the other end. At the farther end of the table are two gutters, side by side. The im "set shot roll slowly and with diggulty, so that they have not enough mo- ‘men-tum to carry them beyond the first gutter. The perfectly round shot roll easily and swiftly, and when they reach the foot of the ta,- ble, they jump nimbly across the t1rtt gutter and land in the second. After separation, the perfect shot are polished by rolling in plumbago, and workmen then put them in bags for shipment, or send them direct to the cartridge-filling department to be loaded into shells. Is it not possible that we who have never ventured far from our home may under-estimate the intel- ligence and brain capacity of those great tribes at savages who are but a name to us. A scientist, lecturing recently in London, stated that he was one of a party of scientists who journeyed to Torres Straits, and in carrying out investigations drseow ered that the head measurement, or cranial capacity, of the natives was ijust, about the satire as that of the average University undergraduate. l In the interior of Borneo the scien- ‘tist-s unearthed a, pevuge tribe who live in houses a hundred yards long, raised on twenty-feet poles, with chambers for each family, and a long corridor for the oommanal life of the joint tenants. The nature a these latter dwellings indisputably shows that the natives have a. keen sense of the hygienic, and their ao- cial intercourse exhibits the true spirit of brotherhood. .
