Dcadcning Pan---A New, Curious and
Simple Plan Discovered.

The last number ofthc Hedicoi Rec
Oui contains notice of II new and
curious method Of deadcning pain
which is Of striking simplicity. II was
discovered by Or. Bonwill i dentist Of
Philadelphia, III lS122. In 1875, DR. a.
llcwson made i favorable report Of his
experience with it to the International
Medical Congress, and att recent meet
ing of the Philadelphia County Medi-
cal Society several papers were read on
the subject, and much discussion fol-
lowed, In using the method, the OPP
pcrator merely requests the patient to
breathe rapidly, making about 100
Inspirations per minute ending in rap
id pulling aspirations. AZ the end Of
from two to five minutes MI entire or
partial absence Of pain results for
half II minute or more, and during that
time teeth may be drawn or missions
made The patient may be in any
position but that recommended is lying
ON the side and is generally best To throw
Il handkerchief over the face to prevent
distraction of the patients attention.
When the rapid breathing is first begun
the patient may feel some cXhilaration.
following this comes i sensation Of
fullncss IN the head or dizziness. The
face is III first flushed, and afterwards
pale or even blush, and the heart beats
rather fcebly and fast, but the sense Of
touch is not affected, nor consciousness
lost. The effect is produced in females
more readily than in males, and in the

near the metropolis on the 10th inst, il
was discovered that large can of dvna-
mite had been placed under the track
with the intention of blowing up the train.
Fortunately the machinery by which the
explosive was to have been discharged did
not work. As the Grand Duke Constsn
tine and several Russian official. of high
rank were to have been on the train, il is
supposed that the attempt to destroy il
was made by nihilists. All Of the old and
tried detectives Of Scotland ward are at
work on the case.

quantities of geld in solution. A man
who recently bought the Hot Springs
hotel property has been at work for the
past few weeks extracting gold from the
water, by process known only by himself.
Clearings up to yesterday afternoon showed
that he has succeeded in extracting 81 600
from ten barrels Of water. The gold is OF
the highest grade Of tineness, and as the
springs volume Of water is exceedingly
large, it would be useless to attempt to es-
innate the value ii they continue to yield
as rich returns as the experiments have
proved thus far.
