PULLING TEETH BY ELECTRICITY.

A New Method Of Removing Troublesome
Molars Practiced in Boston.
Boston people nowadays have their super
huous teeth drawn by electricity. The pro-
cess is very simple, scarce any apparatus
being required beyond an ordinary two-cell
battery with vibrator attachments. This at
tachment is thin strip of metal fastened at
the ends, which is made to vibrate thou
sand or more times second by the cleo
trio current. At each vibration the circuit
is cut off and renewed again, the effect
being to give perfectly steady flow of the
mysterious fluid. In order to make sure
that the flow is quite satisfactory, the oper-
ator tunes the machine-assisted by little
reed tuning pipe-until the strip of metal
sings "a" Now, to the battery are attached
three wires. Two of them handles at the
ends, and the third is hitched to a forceps.
The patient in the chair is given a handle
to hold in each hand, and the current is
turned on gradually until it becomes pain
full. Then he is told to grasp the handle as
strong as possible, the electricity-having
been switched off for q moments turned
on again suddenly, and the dental surgeon
applies his forceps simultaneously TO the
tooth. The instant the molar is touched, it,
as we'll as the other parts surrounding, be-
comes electrified and absolutely insensible
to pain. When it is withdrawn from the
socket the subject of the operation feels not
the slightest disagreeable sensation. A
jerk, and the tooth is out, the patient drops
the electric handles and the painless affair
is over.

the unusual sight, the only one who doei
not enjoy the spectacle, except his late rider.
After this experience, which the cowboys
call Initiating tenderfoot," the Eastern
man ceases to brag about his horsemanship
and soon learns to be as expert as the best oi
the natives.
HIS MARKsMANSHIP.
The Workmanship OF the Texas cowboy
is a marvel. Hec gallop at full speed and
hit jack rabbit running with his pistol or
Winchester. Some of them become so ac-
curate in their aim while thus riding at full
gallop that they can throw up lineup and
put two and three bullets in it before it
reaches the ground.
And even the style of cowboy I have
pictured, which is the genuine Texas cow
boy, can no longer be found in Texas, except
away out on the extreme border Of the "ter-
ritory" and along the Rio Grande. He has
been crowded out by the wire fence, which
makes it no longer necessary to herd cattle.
The cowboy can flourish only where he has
to "stand guard and herd" day in and day
out, in all kinds OF weather, sometimes be-
ing several days and nights in the saddle
without sleeping, except mapping In his
seat on his pony. This he does frequently.
To see him in town is not to recognize
him except by that peculiar walk noticeable
to a close observer as belong to man who
spends most of his time on horseback. It is
walk that resembles cross between q
man trying to step over potato hills and one
trying to lift himself over the fence by his
suspenders. He can be found mostly in
Western and Northwestern Texas and in
Wyoming Territory. II the cities he
dresses in the best, is modest and quiet in
manners, observes everything around him,
puts up at the best hotels, and is lavish in
spending his money.

In WATER UP 10 HIS HEAD.
A Colored Well Digger Has a Fearf
Struggle to Escape Drowning.s

A Colored Well Digger Has a Fearful
Struggle to Escape Drowning.s
BALTIMORE, May 4.-John Simmons, a
colored well-digger, had terrible struggle
for life yesterday. He was digging a well
in the yard of 1927 West Lombard street,
and had been in the well all morning.
About 1890 o'clock Simmons was heard
to give a yell, and when assitance
came he was found to be planted in the
bottom of the well with the earth packed
solidly around his body. When the earth
fell 1t nodded itself about him so quickly
that he had not even opportunity to
straighten his limbs, and had to remain in
a painful attitude.
A man was lowered into the well and
managed to draw out from about Simmons
body the large pieces of scantling that
formed the framework which had fallen
from above. He could not extricate Sim
mons, however. By various slow methods
a portion of the fallen clay was dug from
about his body, a rope was placed under his
arms and an effort was made to pull MIN out,
but he screamed so much on account of pain
that he was allowed to sink back into his
former position. The work of digging was
then renewed. Simmons all this time was
pleading with the workmen to save his life.
As the afternoon grew on. water howedinto
the excavation, rising slowly about the poor
mans shoulders until it reached his mouth.
A man was then lowered to bail out the pitt
While the water was being taken out Sim
mons had to throw his head back in order to
get his breath. When the water had been
taken out the digging continued, and at $50
o'clock Simmons was hauled out. He had
been in there five hours

KENTUCKY DIALECT.
Queer Expressions Among the eMouutaineers
of the Blue Grass State.
T,onisviIla aCourfer-IournaI1

Queer Expressions Among the Mouutnineers
ofthe Blue Grass State.
Louisville Courier-Journal.l
The Kentucky mountain vernacular also
has peculiarities, which Charles Egbert Grad
dock did not find or notice in his Tennes-
see mountaineers. Here man who wants
to say he fired two shots says he shot
two shots. The Western expression OF get
ting the drop is never used, the noun
taineer saying instead that he "throwed his
gun furst." The prefixes in and i'm are not
known, un being used instead, as "unpossi-
ble," for instance. To "mislist" q man is
to deceive and i'll treat him, and when a
man says "his word is his jint" he wants
to convey the impression that he is speaking
as truthfully as if under oath.
The queer expressions are so numerous
that it is hard to understand all that is said.
A dialogue that was gem in its way was
INDUCED in by two young mountain gal
lants, one asking: "Be it mohe fur you to
see Nance this afternoon?" The answer
was: 'No; don't have bound to, but I
aim to-" The man who has knocked on q
door, when asked what he wants, says: "I
want in," and in the same style he would
ask stranger: "How might you call you?"
They have no difficulty in understanding
each other, however, for English is treated
in the same manner by all, and even those
who can read and write talk great deal as
do the less learned.

Converting Crude Iron Into Steel.

M. Robert, of stenay, France, has patent
ed rapid mode. of converting iron into
steel by providing means tor maintaining
constant relations throughout the whole
period of conversion, which is effected by
varying the position and volume of the
blast. He applies blast of air to body of
molten metal at a maximum pressure at the
beginning of the operation, and after thus
overcoming the inertia of the metal and i'm
parting to it the proper speed of gyratory
motion, he lowers the level of the blast, with
out carrying it into the body of the metal,
and varies its pressure and volume in ac-
cordance with the requirements caused by
the reduction in the combustib1e elements of
the iron and the increased fuidity Of the
metal.

An Improved Boiler.

arsenal in Brest, France, by the officers Of
the Government with boiler furnished with
tubes having ribs or fanges on the inside, so
as to prevent larger surface for the absorp-
tion of the heat of the fire. The projection
of the fanges is about one-quarter the diam
eter of the tube, and eight OF them are placed
at equal distances around the inner surface.
The results gained would seem to indicate
an economy of 1S to "a per cent in the con-
sumption Of coal. when compared with the
working of the ordinary smooth tubes.

work Done b. the Telephone.

1t is pointed out in New York electrical
paper that the statement that the Bell Tele-
phone Company of this country have In
operation about 17O, 900 miles of wire, over
which 1,055, 900 messages are transmitted
daily conveys to the average mind no
realization of what the figures actually
mean. 1t therefore puts the matter differ
emily. when we say, however, that if the
telephone wires were stretched in continu-
Gus line they would reach about seven times
around the world, and that, If the messages
transmitted every day were sent through
one set of MISUNDERSTANDING two min
utes for each message-it would require
something like ten years to transmit them
all, we get some sort of an idea of what an
important factor the telephone is in the
great mechanism of modern civilization.

How Imported Iron Can be Made Into Rails
Without Paying Duty.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Inquiry was re-
Gently made at the Treasury Department as
to whether railway iron can be imported
from England for re-manufacture into frogs
and switches and re-exported to Mexico for
use by the Mexican Central Railway with
out payment of duty. Assistant Secretary
Tichenor has informed the inquirer that if
the frogs and switches referred to shall be
manufactured exclusively of imported ma
terial drawback can be allowed on the ex-
portation of the anufactured articles equal
to the amount of duty paid on the imported
material used in their manufacture, less the
legal retention of 10 per cent, but that if any
domestic materials whatever are used in the
manufacture of said articles no drawback
can be obtained thereon.
Assistant Secretary Tichenor also said
that there is no provision of law under
which imported rails can be manufactured
in bond into other articles and exported
without payment of duty.

OIL ON Stormy Seas.

A most ingenious and valuable invention
is the cartridge devised by Mr.. Walker, Of
Hartford. Conn.,, for distributing oil over
troubled waters. 1t holds about two ounces
of oil, and can be fitted in an ordinary
cartridge shell and discharged from an or
dinary breech-loader. The cartridge, weight
ed at the end with lead, sinks into the
waves and the oil rises to the top and
spreads like film over the waves. By
means of these cartridges. it is stated that a
path an eighth of mile in breadth can
be made through the heaviest of seas.

DR.. Elliot, in a recent lecture at Toronto,
gives the four principal conditions that must
be observed for the treatment of inebriates
to be successful. The first is abstinence;
this must be absolute, and on no plea what
ever, of fashion, of physic or religion, ought
the smallest quantity of an intoxicant to be
put to the lips Of an alcoholic slave. The
second condition is to ascertain the predis-
posing and exciting causes of inebriety, and
to endeavor to remove those causes, which
may lie in some remote or deep-seated phys
icai ailment The third condition is to re-
store the physical and mental tone, and the
fourth condition is employment; let the
mind of the patient be kept occupied by at
tention to regular work. and the task of
reformation will be shorn of half its diff
culty,
