Skillful Surgeons.

A story which almost deserves to rank
with "the fairy tales of science" was told
at Ipswich last week in the course of an
inquest on pauper lunatic named
Timothy Sheehan, aged seventy-two. 1t
seems that Timothy was transferred to
Ipswich from Camberwell few months
back. On his arrival he was found to be
suffering from emphyzema of the lungs,
bronchitis, heart disease and kidney
mischief" As il that were not enough,
he presently developed swelling of the
hip, so DIR. Lewis Rowe, and Dr. Tidbury,
the asylum doctors, proceeded to make
''the usual examination of the hip joint"
This is where the scientific narrative
reaches its eliminating point. The doc
tors went to work and twisted the bones
about" and 1.-The result discovered that
the deceased had extensive disease of the
Joint" That, however, was not the only
result for in the midst of the investiga-
ton During the twisting of the bones
about, take it), report was heard, and
the two medcos surmised that fracture
had taken place. They then set to work
to look for the fracture, but were unable
to discover it. When however, the de-
ceased died-as marvellous to relate he
did month or so later, Notwithstanding
all the scientific resources at hand-a
post-mortem examination disclosed that
fracture really had taken place, appar-
emily just Mt the very identical time
when the bones were being twisted about
and the crack was heard. The coroner
spoke vory enthusiastically of the high
qualifications of tho two medical gentle
men; the jury seemed to have boon
equally delighted; and for my part am
only too happy to offer my humble tribute
in the same direction. 1t is only when
we read story like this OF the breaking
of patients thigh in the attempt to dis
cover whether he has discussed hip
that we perceive as fully as we ought
what beneticent profession is that of
medicine, AMI how much we shall still
have to be thankful for, even if the
worst comes to the worst, and we find our
way into pauper lunatic asylums.-

A REMARKABLE RECORD,
Wonderful Growth of Shipping on
the Great Lakes.

The history of marine architecture
does not furnish another instance of so
rapid and complete a revolution in the
material and structure of floating equip
ment us has taken place on the great
lakes since 1886. In that year the total
valuation of the vessels by Lloyd was
about S30,600,000. In 1889, sixty new
steamers and eleven sailing vessels, ag-
gregating 10000 tons and valued at
So, $50, 900, were added to the fleet.
During the four winters of 18S6-1S9O
the tonnage of the lakes was nearly
doubled; FOG vessels, measuring 399, ,975
tons, were turned out of the ship.yards,
with valuation of $27,389,O0 During
the same time the number of steamers
of more than 1,500 net register
tons increased from 81 to ito.
The two valuations of the fleet al
ready presented differ by more than
50, 100000; but either one emphasizes the
fact of the very recent and extraordin-
ary growth OF this commerce, and rem
ders 1T difficult to predict the increase in
the tonnage and in the size of vessels
upon the lakes during the nine years
that remain till the opening of the next
century.
More than one-half of the vessels on
the great lakes are assigned to Chicago,
Port Huron, Detroit, Milwaukee, Grand
Haven, Cleveland and Buffalo.
The number of Canadian vessels on
the lakes is 647; tonnage, 32,971; val
uation, $3,939, ,130. For further COM
parison, it may be stated that the total
of coast and inland shipping registered
in Canada is 7, 153 vessels, of 1,040,4 ,4Sl
register tons, valued at $31, ,213,4
The increase in population of the lake
ports indicates the great increase that
must follow, necessarily, in the business
of the lakes and also of the railways
tributary to them. Buffalo has increased
from about 1900 in 1850 to 255,0 900 in
1890; Cleveland from 1900 in 1860 to
262 900 in 1890; Chicago, from 10000 in
1850 to |, 100000 in 1890; while Detroit
and Milwaukee exhibit remarkable
parallelism in growth the former having
increased from 116,340 to 205,S76 in the
last ten years, and the latter from 115,-
5S7 to 2O4, ,46S.-[Scribner.

formed before number IT medical stu,
dents, the legs and arms of the patient
were tightly bound at the thighs and
shoulders, so that the circulation of
blood in these members was stopped.
when the ether was applied to the mouth
and nostrils, it saturated only one-third
OF the systems blood, and unconscious
ness was produced with about one quarter
OF the quantity ordinarily required.
when the operation was finished the
bandages were removed and the untaint-
ed blood, which they had confined, rushed
back to the heart and throughout the
body, producing u revivifying effect, and
almost immediate consciousness. The
patient spoke intelligently within three
minutes. The small quantity of ether
used, and the rapidity with which the
stupor is dispelled, renders this method
peculiarly adapted to weak or sckly per
sons.-LPicayune.

many, and all diseases depending upon a
watery condition OF the blood or shattered
