A WONDER OF SCIENCE.
Electricity Successfully Employed In
Surgical Operation.

Electricity Successfully Employed In .
Surgical Operation.
One of the most delicate surgical
operations ever performed in San Fran
cisco was that to which A. Baehm, Q
patient at the city and county hospital,
was subjected recently. The operation,
says Electricity, was remarkable in
that an endoscope, or small electric
light, was used during the process. This
was thrust into the thoracic cavity, and
by it's illumination the action of the
heart and lungs was plainly visible,
This is the first case reported on the
Pacific coast where the electric endo-
scope was used in difficult surgery with
beneficial results ;
Baehm was afflicted with an abscess,
which had formed in the pleural cavity
and attacked the left lung. The opera
ton was an exceedingly dangerous one,
and in order not to shock the patient no
mention of the intention of the physi-
clans was made to him.
The sick man was quickly an@sthet-
lied and the inflated breast was exposed
to view A discoloration on the left
side showed that the trouble lay under
the tissue in that direction, and DIR.
Ellinwood began operations at once by
making two deep missions crosswise,
from which the blood spurted in
streams. Several of the larger blood
vessels were necessarily cut, but these

| were laid to one side, exposing the
third rib to view This rib was resected
| away dark and bloody opening was
revealed, through which the thoraeic
! cavity and the space between the lungs
could be seen. Dr. Hirschfelder In
/ serted the endoscope through the OPEN
/ ing in Baehm's breast and the light was
turned on, Illuminating the interior of
the cavity with remarkable distinctness-
The heart worked slowly, owing to
tie effect of ether. The aorta dilated
and fell with every heart beat. The
lung was also plainly visible. During
,, the one hour and half consumed in
making the operation the action of the
, heart was plainly visible, and the I'M
usual sight was the subject of much
comment upon the part of the operators
and spectators.
When the process was completed and
, every vestige of pus removed the endo-
I scope was withdrawn and the opening
, in Baehms breast closed. The opera
, ton was highly successful one in

The director-general of the exhibi-

A SPLIT IN JUDAISM.
Orthodox Rabbits to Meet and ExOom-
municate All the 'tReformerso


New YORK, Aug 2.-The radical de-
parture in regard to the Abrahamic
rite made by the recent central con-
ference of Hebrew rabbis in this city
has created a remarkable sensation
throughout the Hebrew world. The
resolution of the conference declaring
the acceptance of the rite by proselytes
to the Hebrew religion to be optional
has aroused widespread discussion and
a movement is already on foot to ex-
press the sentiments of the conserva-
tive elements of the religion in opposi-
ton to the reform adopted by the
central conference.
There are those who predict that the
outcome of the action on both sides
will be to divide Judaism into two
seats, the so-called orthodox body
having already taken measures to call
a convention of rabbits to excommuni-
cate those who are responsible for the
change.

The German Imperial Train,

The German emperor's imperial train,
which has at last been finished, cost
altogether seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. It's construction oc-
cupied three years, and is very elab-
crate example of railroad luxury. There
are twelve carriages, all connected by
corridors" which presumably are YES
tibules, and they are all magnifcently
upholstered. The library car, for in
stance, is hung with gobelin tapestry,
and the drawing-room is furnished en-
tirely in white satin. Two of the car
riages are for the sole use of the en-
peror's children and their nurses.

Hope 1t Is Not True.

LONDON, Aug 2.-The Chronicle
hopes that the report is not true that
the British Minister at Stockholm as
sisted the King to intimidate Nor.
Teigans who Were asking for a separate
Consular service from that of Sweden
BY telling the King that Lord Sails
bury considered it impossible to deal
with separate consuls. Swedish court
organs assert that the Kings obsti-
nate resistance to Norway's demands
Tas due to the action of the British
Minister, who thinks that his staff
Would be overworked if worried by a
duplex consular service.

Matching of Teeth

Perhaps the greatest difficulty that
dentists meet with is the matching Of
false teeth with the natural teeth of
their customers. The tooth factories
supply dentists with rings upon which
are strung thin short metal bars, each
carrying tooth at it's extremity. There
are twenty-five of these sample teeth,
that run all the way from nearly white
to shade that is almost olive. Some
one of the twenty-five usually matches
the patients natural teeth, and, at any
rate, enables the dentist to match the
teeth by application at the factory

Mexico recently made favorable treaty
with Japan, and it is expected that it will
result in bringing many thousands of its
people to the land of Montezuma. The
large farmers of Mexico complain of the
unreliabiality of native laborers when
wanted for steady work. Having received
their wages fer month their disposition
is to spend the monty before they earn
more. Japan is seeking for an outlet for
its dense population, and may look favor
ably onIMexieo. Unless Sir Edwin Arm
oId's estimate of the Japanese is over
drawn, they may convert the places they
occupy in Mexico into gardens that will
be the admiration or the world. The
probabilities are however that they will
seek entrance into the United States.

MUMMY WHEAT.
Evidence to Show That There Is No Such
Thing.

Evidence to Show That There Is No Such
Thing.
Some seeds would only live very
short time after they were shed. 1t was
said that the seeds of the willow would
not live more than few days, some
said more than a few hours, they were
so speedily dried up-the little embryo
was killed, and the whole of the life
was gone. Of course, this cut at the
root of all stories about mummy wheat
It was quite certain, says Notes and
Queries, as had been clearly established
again and again, that no seed which
was buried with the mummy at the
time it was put in the coffin had ever
terminated. 1t was not only the ex-
animation of the seed that would es-
tablish that; experiments had been
made to show that this was not the
case. A large number of seeds in the
British museum had been examined
taken from mumrnies, and they were all
in the same condition that the mummy
itself was in. 1t would be impossible
to stretch out the arm of mummy, be-
cause the whole of the muscle was en-
tirely burned up by the slow action of
the oxygen, and it was completely rigid.
It was so with the whole Of those grains
of wheat and fax and various other
seeds that were preserved-they were
in the same condition. They had been
subject to the slow burning action of
the oxygen, and the whole of their vi
tally had disappeared. With regard to
what was grown as mummy wheat, it
was only form of corn that was still
extensively cultivated on the southern
shores of the Mediterranean, and was
easily obtained from Arabs and others,
who were always ready to impose upon
travellers, who brought it home as true
mummy wheat.
