valuable time to have TO grind first the
roasted coffee bean, which in Prussia
every soldier is bound to carry about
him, Oppler recommends the use of cof-
fee tablets, which have been recently
discovered by Hamburg firm, and
which answers their purpose admirably
well, as it is only necessary to rub these
tablets little. when they at once assume
powdered form.
DR.. Oppler presented two cases at the
meeting where an injury of the head,
accompanied by a great deal of liberation
of the soft tissues, had been treated with
powdered coffee alone. and when the
wounds had healed rs we'll and as quickly
as under strict aseptic treatment. He
applies the coffee in q similar manner as
gypsum is used in bandaging, viz: He
takes gauze bandage and partly spreads
the powdered coffee over it, partly
presses it into the bandages with which
the wound is covered.

COFFEE AS A DLSIN rAE AAST.

: Years ago some studious German made
the observation, the correctness of which
he endeavored land to q great extent also
succeeded) to establish by statistical
data, that coffee, if taken early in the
morning on the empty stomach, acted as
q preventive against infectious and
mainly acute epidemic diseases. He
quoted great number of cases where
individuals accustomed to drink cup of
hot coffee for breakfast had either es-
capped an epidemic of typhoid then raw
aging the part of Germany in which the
observer lived, or if attacked by the dis
ease contracted it in o much milder
form, while all those who died from the
disease had not been in the habit of
taking coffee in the morning. This was
good number of years ago. at time
when in many parts of Germany coffee
was still either an unknown or so costly
beverage as to be looked upon as
luxury that only the rich could enjoy.
We have forgotten the name of the
physician, but remember that the medi-
cal profession did not take kindly to the
idea of coffee being disinfectant. or. as
they then said, anti zynotic, and those
who could not deny the correctness of
the observation itself ascribed the appar-
ent immunity to other causes, many to
the hot water with which the coffee was
prepared.
That the physician. however, has not
been so wrong has been but recently
proved. During the last meeting of the
Prussian army surgeons in Berlin Medical
Director Oppler reported that after extern
sive investigations, which he related in de-
tail. he had discovered that we possess in
coffee an antiseptic remedy of no mean
value, but one which could we'll serve
for the purposes of n first dressing of
wound received in battle. If employed
at once it totally prevents suppuration,
but if used after puss has already accu-
mulated in the wound, it leads to the
formation of scab, beneath which the
wound heals with complete asepsis. The
coffee should be employed in the form of
powder and as it might entail the loss of

FOR TIE PEorEcr1oN OF PLANTS.

The protective mechanisms of plants,
30 far rs they are directed against aggres-
Eive animals, are 10 he looked for mainly
in the neighborhood of the young grow
ing parts or the reproductive organs.
Not exclusively. however, but generally
the older veg tative parts are defended
by their own inherent qualities, such as
their hardness or wireless, which keep
them from being suitable for the food of
their assailnnts Such young growing
parts in many plants. particularly those
growing i'll exposed regions. ure plenti-
fully supplied with thorns, spines, or
prickles, rendering them in many cases
extremely formidable. The thorns or
prickles may be produced on almost all
the vegetative organs, and may be cpl
dermal structures, or much stronger in
composition, containing considerable
developments of woody tissue. These
thorny plants are most noteworthy in
desert countries, some that are met with
there, notably the so-called "wait-a- bit"
thorn of Africa having spines of inn
mense length. and being quite impene-
trable by man or beast. Gases are not of
infrequent occurrence where even the lion
himself is considerable sufferer by
coming into collision with this plant.
So great is the development of the thorny
character in this region that Grisebach
connects it particularly with desert ex-
posure and scarcity of vegetation. A
further popularity may be noted in con-
nection with these plants: often the
thorns do not occur above the point
which is assailable by the animal in its
search for food, while, when the shoot
has outlived its period of succulent con-
dition, and its tissues have become hard
and dry, the thorns do not persist, being
much more numerous when the part is
young.

Physical Changes in the holy Land.

An interesting account of the discov-
cries and general results of the recent
geological and geographical expedition
to Egypt, Arabia and western Palestine
was embodied in the annual address de-
livered by Professor Hull, L. RS. before
the Victoria (philosophicaD Institute, in
London, on May 20. The speaker, who
had charge of the expedition, described
the course taken by him, which, to con-
siderable extent, was the route ascribed
to the Israelites. He gave an account of
the physical features of the country,
pointed out evidences of old sea margins
200 feet above the present sea margins,
and showed that Mt one time an arm of
the Mediterranean had occupied the
valley of the Nile rs far as the first cat
aract, at which time Africa was an island
IAN opinion also arrived ut by another of
the institutes members, Sir w. Dawson),
and that, at the time of the exodus, the
Red Sea ran up into the Bitter Lakes,
and must have formed barrier to the
travellers progress ut that period. He
then alluded to the great changes o
elevation in the land eastward of these
lakes, mentioning that the waters of the
Jordan Valley once stood 1902 feet
above their present height, and that the
waters of the Dead Sea, which he found
1850 feet deep, were once on q level
with the present Mediterranean Sea
margin, or 1899 feet above their present
height. The great physical changes
which had taken place in geological
time were evidenced by the fact that
while the rocks in western Palestine
>were generally limestone, those of the
mountains of Sinai were among the most
ancient in the world. The various geo.
logical and geographical features of the
country were so described rs to make
the address q condensed report of all
that is now known of them in Egypt,
Palestine and Arabia Petrna.

AN ERRATfC RIVER.
young.

Z To the millions who inhabit the GEN.
trail plain of China. the Yellow or
Hoangho river is great source of
trouble. Nine instances are on record
of its making complete change of
course. It has moved its mouth from
south to north over four degrees of lati-
tude, leaving many sandy wastes and
shallow lakes where populous plains had
existed. Western engineers have been
much interested in the question whether
these disastrous overfows and changes
in the river can be checked. They have
been convinced for some years of the
feasibility of keeping the rivers cratic
tendencies within limits, and in the
course of human progress "China's sor-
row" may some day be robbed Of It's

What the Hindu Lives On.

Human life is supported in India upon
the barest minimum of neccssaries; the
village population feed upon the COM
monest grains, never eating animal food
(Which is contrary to their religion) and
'arely tasting the finer grains, such rs
wheat and barley. The clothing worn
s of the scantiest, and was distressed
10 see many of the people in tho North
west Provinces shivering and half naked
in weather SO cold that I was glad to
wear two topcoats. The houses are
'uilt of clay. and almost destitute of
furniture, and understand that large
,ortion of tho population only eat one
meal day. OF course. this in Eastern
country does not signify what it does in
Europe-life can DO sustained on less
food and less nutritious diet than in
Northern chimes; the labor power of the
IIindus is small there is far less taken
out of the human machine than in our
laborous Western life; it consumes less
and produces less; besides, the Asiatc
has the power of digesting greater
quantity of food ut one meal than is
possible to Europeans; but, when due
allowance is made for this, it is not to
be denied that the poverty of great
part of the people OF India is extreme
and more acute than what we witness in
Europe 1t may be said with truth of Il
great part of the rural population that
it is never far removed from famine. A
scanty harvest any year brings that
calamity within measurable distance;
q failure of crops means death to
large part of the population unless fed
by government.

AmerIean Enserprlae.

No invention Of the nineteenth century
has worked greater revolution in house
hold economy or conferred more Of bene'
fit on humanity than the sewing machine
The first productions were crude and un'
couth In the extreme, and Il was reserved
for American skill and ingenuity to bring
forth machine Of any practical value.
In order to appreciate the great advance
ment which has taken place It Is only nee
essary to compare one Of the machines built
during the infancy of the invention with
one Of the latest improved "Light. Running
New Home.n
All the really good points contained In
other machines have been utilized In Il
construction. Many new improvements
and devices have also been added, the re-
suit Of which Is machine as nearly perfect
as 1t Is possible to make one.
For simplicity, durability, ease ofmanage-
mcnt and capacity for work, the Light
Running New Home" has no rival, and the
happy possessor Of one may rest assured
that he or she has the very best the world
affords. See advertisement on another page
