ologists have been able, with injected
fluid, TO wash out The system through
the natural channels Of circulation
and DIR. Max Hildebrand, Of San
Fra ncisco. states that IL is possible 10
infuse into the veins, without danger
to the organism, al amount OF fiuid
equal to four times the normal guam
THY OF blood. In experiments made
about three years ago u OF per cent
solution of salt was injected directly
into the veins Of dogs and rabbits. AT
\ certain rate. the salt water could be
forced for hours, AMI was promptly
discharged IN the urine, but too great
pressure was fatal, aud the injection
was safe only when the heart was
healthy. by a new method, due 10
Cantani, the injections are now made
hypodermically without risk, this pro.
cess being called "hypodermoklysis."
1t was first employed TO prevent dry
ing up of the tissues after great loss OF
blood aud in cholera, but has given
promising results IN cleansing the
blood from poison, such as those OF
typhoid fever, uraenIia, septic blood
poisoning, gastric or intestinal Ulcers,
and snake bites. In asphyxia from
chloroforn il has saved life when cleo
triciiy and artificial respiraiions had
failed. The salt waller, with antiseptic
precautions, is injected into the rellu-
lar tissue under the skin, usually of
the abdoman, causing Il tumor which
lasts two or three hours. The usual
time for injecting 30 ounces OF solu-
ton is about five minutes.
RECENT TEbEPHoNY.-During The
last two or three years, trials have
been made in the French army Of The
quite remarkable telephone system Of
Capt. CharOllis, which depends upon
the use of the Martin bi.metallic wire
or steel core covered with copper.
This wire is stronger and rusts less
readily than that ordinarily used.
With magnetic receiver at either
end, the wire Is unwound upon wet or
dry earth. or even in water, and with
out nsulation-c0ntrary to usual the
ories--cOndWts sounds to u consider
able distance. The military telephon-
lists are organized in sets OF two men,
each set having equipment for mile
line. The simple receiving and trans
hitting apparatus are fixed to the
military cap; and the wire is carried
on reels in sort Of breast-plate, being
so light that a mans ordinary equip
rnent weighs less than six pounds.
The wire is rapidly laid by foot sol
diers, cavalrymen or bicyclists. BH
successive sets Of operators d line four
teen miles long was established in five
hours and taken up in one hour; and
an order of assault, setting in motion
two army corps, was received aud put
in execution in ten minutes.
