WATCHING ONES BLOOD.
AN INGENIOUS METHOD By WHICH THE
CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD CAN
BE OBSERVED.

An ingenious method has just been
devised for actually observing the Cir
culation of the blood in man. Hitherto,
eyceut in the case of Purkinje's expert
ment. in which an observer can see the
circulation in his own retinal blood yes
sells. the evidence of circulation in the
human subject has been entirely circum-
stantial. derived from the facts of struc-
ture of the circulatory organs, and from
the manner in which the blood flows
from severed arteries and veins; but by
means of a simple arrangement invented
bv DR.. c. Huter, of Greifswald, it IS
now possible to witness the actual flow
of blood in the blood vessels of another
person, and that with sufficient accura-
CIV to detect any abnoTmality in the cir
culation, and so to obtain Invaluable as
sistance in the diagnosis of disease.
In DR.. Huter's arrangement the pa
TENTS head is fixed in a frame, some
thing like that used by photographers,
on which is a contrivance for supporting
a microscope and a lamp. The lower
lin is drawn out and fixed, by means OF
clips. on the stage of the microscope,
with inner surface upward /; strong
light is thrown upon this surface by
condenser. and the microscope, provided
with low power objective, is brought
to bear upon the delicate network OF
vessels. which can be seen in the posi-
tion indicated even with the naked eye.
The appearance presented is, at first,
as f the vessels were filled with red iu-
lection but by focusing small super
tciaI vessel, the observer is soon able to
distinguish the movement OF the blood
stream, rendered evident by the speck-
like red cOrpuScles, the flow of which,

by Huter to be especially beautiful. -
The colorless corpuscles, are distin-
guishable white specks, occurring now
and again in the course of the red
stream. Besides the phenomena of the
circulation. the cells of the pavement
! epithelium lining the lip, and their nu-
clei. can readily be distinguished, as
we'll as the apeTtures of the mucous
glands.
Besides the normal circulation, vari-
GUS pathological conditions can he ob-
served. BY a pressure quite insufficient
to cause pain, the phenomena of blood
stagnatiOn--the stOppage of the flow,
and the gradual change in the color OF
the blood from bright red to purple
are seen. y momentary stoppage is
also produced by touching the lips with
ice. a more enduring staSis by certain
reagents, such as glyceTine OF ammonia
Huter states that he has already
proved the great use of "CheilOanglos
copv.'' as he calls the new process, il
his medical practice The variations il
the blood flow and in the diameter o
the vessels. the crowding together of til,
red corpuscles, occurring in certain dis
eases, all these may be observed readil.
and exactly 1t will, indeed, be at ono,
obvious how great is the Importance of
method like this. by which an actual oh
servation il made possible, especially
when it is borne in mind that even tn
rough and ready method of feeling tn
pulse affords a valuable Indication o
the state of health. NjHeteeuth Century

Mechanical Training for Boys.

What to do with the BOYS who are
coming up has always been, and always
will be, a standing puzzle to right-think
ing parents. TO let a boy grow up with
out any effort to find out what his turn
of mind is, or what he is best fitted for.
is to plunge his frail little bark into the
turbid waters of life without sail, rud-
der or compass, and, except in rare in
stances, to defeat or mar the world voy
age. Many man is n mere lifelong
human machine, who might have been
an originator or director of machines, or
have taken rank in some other and more
congenial field of effort, if the guidance
that only parents can give had not been
withheld in the boyish days, when there
is still something to be gained from cir
cumstances, and when guidance may be
counted upon to affect the future.
Many man is poor mechanic who
might have eXcelled in some other dir
ection, and many good mechanic has
been lost to himself and to the world
from lack of early introduction into me-
chanical channels.
The parent who prefers to leave boy s
whole choice Of career to the boy him
self, forgets that the boy can usually on
" judge in a blind, indistinctive way,
and utterly without knowledge of the
power OF beTeOuy III llldhlnH COTIeCJ
choice. The parent whose life has been
spoiled by lack of direction, or by wrong
direction, and who, as every such per
son always does come to feel in time
{when it is too late to alter anything J
against his son, if the boy slavishly fol-
lows certain channels because they are
family channels.
Nor is any parent without means of
observation regarding his boys tastes,
and abilities, il he so wishes. The four
year-old boy who spends hours fat upon
his stomach, engaged i'll regulating the
stoyepipe damper or dissecting the fam
lily clock, and trying to find out how and
why they work thus and so, may usually
be set down as mechanic in embryo.
The boy who developes such tastes,
with the addition of free hand with
pencil or charcoal, and illustrates the
/ subject with profuse drawings upon the
front door or side gate, may usually be
regarded as future draughtsman or de-
siguer, And there is hope that the boy
who adds reading tastes and mathemati
cal tendencies to all this especially if
instead Of taking mud baths or worry

I develop into a constructor or inventor
who will benefit the world by simpl!
living in it.

y WONDERFUL FISH STORY A

occasionally good sized ripple could be

fastened my attention to the particular
place. had often seen cats play with
swallows, sweeping at them, but the
idea OF fish doing the same was some
thing new to me. Presently 1 saw a
clean breach, and fine large pickerel
showed his whole size and got a swallow

An Odd Custom IN the Island Ct jersey
From the London Globe

There exists in Jersey, but there alone,
Of all our channel islands, time hOnored
and interesting ceremonial, concerning
which, We venture to say, the generality
OF readers are unlntOImed, outsiders being
seldom or never invited to witness it.
The very earliest records of the little
land tell of its practice; 1t was in full
force and vitality at the beginning of the
twelfth century, and, except that nova
days it has been shorn OF much OF the
pomp and circumstance which once
made 1t a sort OF pageant and added 8
finish and gloss TO its Importance, It re-
mains as useful and efficacious In Queen
Victoria's reign as 1t was In that OF King
John. The procedure to which we allude,
and which time has been unable TO
change. is called in official language
"Une Visite Royale." Whence it derives
its honoritic title is very obscure; posi-
bly, enough for some scion of the Duchy
of Normandy, when Jersey belonged to
that province, having conducted tue FRO
ceedlngs in rerson, as well for parade as
for arbitration and pecuGlary emolu
ments. But tor many a long century
royalty has been typitied only by the
presence and authority OF The chief insu
lar magistrate, by the Co operation OF
his brother iurates OF Judges, by his law
advisers, and by some other attaches OF
the royal court. On fixed day, once in
every six years, and ger orally before
wheat harvest, these officials meet the
Constable and other muncipals OF aselect

examinations OF finances bearing upon

A Temperance Hospital.
New York Tribuue.1

Ii is an Interesting fac that one of the
most successful hospitals in London is
conducted on temperance pr ncipies. The
rules provide that alcohol shall not be
given IS beverage to any patient. and
that II shall only be Administered as
medicine upon the written prescription of
physician. Practically, alcohol is never
prescribed, and nearly nine thousand pa
tents have been under treatment during
the past eighty months without the slight
est deviation from total abstinence. The
cssesilreated in this institution, which is
called The London Temperance Hospital,
have been OF ordinary severity, large
number of amputatious snd painful oper-
atcns having been performed, vet the
mortality has been low-sbout Az per
cent. A committee from ST. Georges
Hospital has recently investigated the
whole subject, and sscertained that in
most of the Londol hospitals beer is
given out as part of the regular diet,
and that the annual expense for
liquors exceed $40 900 in two institutions.
The Nedicdt Journal applies these facts
TO hospital practice in this city. In
Bellevue, where liquors are prescribed
without stint, 1886 cases were treated in
1878 at a cost of 50 9S2 AZ for liquors.; in
the Charity Hospital the expense was
So l0902 for 8 574 patients The cost per
patient tor liquors is from quarter to a
third less than it Is in the London insti.u.
tons. The Massachusetts General Hos.
pital with only 200 more patients than
the Roosevelt Hospital, expends nearly
three times as much for alcohol, without
any corresponding tluctuarion in the NOR.
tality rate. This single instance proves
that, although alcohol is used with more
discrimination III Am rican than IN
English hospitals it IL prescribed alto
gether too freely. Outside the hospitals,
many practitioners are, we had almost
said, criminally careless in recommend.
ing alcohol as tonic, especially to con-
sumptives.
