The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1892-07-01

The heart worked slowly, owing to
the effect OF ether. The aorta dillated
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 distinctly visible, and
the unusual 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
endoscope was withdrawn and the
opening in Baehem's breast closed.
The operation was a highly successful
one in every particular, and Baehm's
condition shows that he is gaining
strength.
Improved Appliance In SketohlnR.
Some OF the many who will spend
a large portion OF the next few months
OF their life in the open air will be in,
terested to know that new appliance
has been brought out for facilitating
the making of sketches OF landscapes,
buildings, etc. The device comprises
an instrument to enable a draughts-
man to mark off on sheet OF paper
the relative position OF as many
points in the view as may be consider
ed necessary to obtain correct repre-
sentation. This instrument, which is
based on the well-known method OF
measuring with the pencil and thumb,
is likely to be OF service to artists in
making sketches from nature involv-
ing complicated detail, not TO men,
ton the large number OF amateurs
who begin sketching and coloring be-
fore they can draw, The appliance is
made in two forms, and may be Of
metal, wood or other suitable ma
Jerial. The first resembles pair of
compasses, with fixed limb between
the two legs. The movable legs move
smoothly on their pivots with suffi-
cient friction to remain in any posi-.
ton in which they may beplaced, and
on them is placed running slide, so
that the location OF any point in the
landscape can be instantly indicated
for transference to the sketching pad,
The second form OF the instrument,
which involves the same principles,
consists of a straight rod 8 or more
inches in length, half an inch wide and
quarter OF an inch thick, on which
are two or more slides moving freely
with q slight grip on the rod. The
positions Of the various parts OF the
instrument are regulated by means o.
cords.
A New System OF Eleotrlo lllumin-
alton,
II we could produce such a current
as would have 500 million. million al
formations per second, the conductor
carrying it would glow with light-no
! as we produce it, by means OF heat
, but without heat, since none OF tn
slower heat vibrations would be pro
duced. Mr.. Nikola Tesla, has gon
further towards utilizing these ethe
: rial vibrations for luminous purpose
I than anybody else, and his results
though still far from those suggeste
j above, and due more to the impact {
! vibrating molecules than to the rapid
. ity OF etheric oscillations, point on
r that the greatest possibilities are with
q in our reach. Mr.. Tesla shows that
. the walls of q room, for instance, b
made the seat OF rapidly alternatin
y currents at high potentials, the Who'll
. of the space within that room is s
q filled with ETHEREAL oscillations, that
3 nacuum tube or lamp bulb will glo'
h with light wherever situated and witt
4 out electrical connection with thos
9 walls. He also exhibited sma
e motor operated by single wire col
;. nected with his source of electricity
q and many other phenomena whc
{ are in direct conflict with the know
n laws of electricity. But We must bea
4 in mind that the force which pre-
;. duces these phenomena, although Sc
3 into action by electricity, is not itse
q electricity, but radiant energy, {
: which light and heat are familia
). manifestations. - Electricity, Me-
