TO WASH THE BLOOD.


FAace OF TranSfustOn.
Washing the blood Is the latest remedy
for diseases bfought on by, or causing, q
sluggish circulation and low state Of the
blood. The washing process is performed
by plain salt and water. From pint to
two quarts ofs fswater are injected into the
system by means of an ordinary hypo-
dermic syringe.
A vein is opened in the arm of the patient
with the usual lantiseptic precautions, and
the salt water injected In large doses. A
profuse perspiraticn and general activity
of the secretofy organs follows, carrying
away the noxious matter present in the
blood. The new remedy is recommended by
several doctorsttn papers read recently be-
fore the the ACADEMY Of Medicine in Paris and
GUS instances. II In cases of anaemia, ty
phoid. hemorrhages. sudden shock, and
even in cases of intoxication, this blood
washing, 1t is said, works wonders. FOR
some years surgeons have used saline
injection in cases of collapse after an op-
GRAFTON. 1t is the most powerful tonic
known, and has saved many lives. Its
e1cacy IN ordinary diseases has, however,
only recently been discovered.
Modern medicine has a tendency to re-
sort to simple methods which recognize
the all-curing powers of water. Washing
the stomach, as practiced by several New
York physicians, Is of very recent origin
and is considered invaluable in cases of
Indigestion. A simple hath of warm water
is often all that is necessary to restore
the stomach to its normal condition, by re-
moving the poisonous waste products which
are not profusely thrown off by the secre-
tory organs. By means of soft rubber
tube put down the throat water can be
poured into the stomach and sphoned out
again. To wash the blood is of course
ore difficult, as the water has to be in
jected into a vein
1t Is well known that the blood of a frog
can be drawn off and the blood of another
frog substituted without greatly inconveni-
encing the creature. 1t was then found
that salt water solution can be substi-
tuted instead of blood. to a consider a BILE
extent. at least, and the frog will live and
be as sprightly as ever. This fact first
gave the scientists the idea of injecting an
artificial serum into the veins of a human
being. either anaemic or intoxicated The
new remedy Is very simple in it's action
and can always, 1t Is said, be employed
with safety.

STEAM REVOLUTIONIZED BUILDING
The Elevntor and Derrick Made High
Structures Possible.

The Elevator and Derrick Made High
Structures Possible.
From the New York Post
The application of steam power to the
working of derricks and hod -hoisting ele-
vators was an improvement in methods of
construction of the farthest reaching con-
sequences. 1t reduced the labor cost of
construction to remarkable degree; some
builders have estimated the reduction as
high as 80 to 50 per cent. Steam power was
economical only in buildings above three
stories in height. but since 1877 there nave
been very few mercantile or office buildings
or hotels built that were not five or more
stories high. With every additional story
above four the economy of the steam der
rick and the hod-eleVator became more ap-
parent. and when iron construction came
into general use, in the modern skele-
ton frame building. its use was practically
indispensable. Which has been the most
effective influence in the DEVELOPMENT of
the modern Office, mercantile or hotel
structure-the improved methods of con-
struction, the use of the passenger ele-
vator. or the advance in the art of archi-
tectural design, would be hard to decide
They have worked together harmoniously
and inseparably. Perhaps their claims to
the distinction are equal But from the
beginning of theft employment in construc-
ton the building trades began to be differ
entiated and specialized and largely in
creased In number. The day when the ma
son and carpenter and painter were COM
petent for all the demands of mercantile
and residence construction has long gone
by.
To begin with the design of the building,
the architect has encountered new prob
lens. which have forced upon him the study
Of engineering. or the employment of an
engineer as associate in the designing of
his tall building! In some of the larger
buildings recently, built now in course
OF construction. the engineer has been
first consulted. and he has had the selec-
uon of the architect who should be his as
sociate. For the problems involved were
less architectural than engineering. They
dealt with sufiiciency of foundation: !:
weight, size and strength of steel con-
struction; lateral strains. wind-pressure
ana economy of wall spaces. When the en-
Slneer mad first say in the matter he often
laid out the heating. ventilating and cleo
tric plans as well, and in some cases de-
term1ned the character and extent of the
elevator service. But the architects have
taken means to defend themselves on this
sloe OF their professional work of late. and
now the representative men in this nrofes
sion are architects and engineers.

It's noisy place for a home, but a pair
of busy English sparrows have chosen IT.
Just where the Alley L. railroad crosses
street, on the outer edge of one Of the
big iron girders the nest Is built. 1t is
made of straws interviewer with horse
hairs and twigs. and it has the usual fluffy
appearance of a sparrows nest. Every few
minutes all day long the trains roar past
on the track above. jarring the whole struc-
ture, but Mrs. Sparrow doesn't seem to
mind it a bit. She has already laid part of
her eggs and Mr.. Sparrow often sits on the
iron rail near her side and tells all his
friends about it in the loudest of chirps.
Perhaps this sparrow family enjoys be-
ing rocked to sleep by the jarring of the
rains. and perhaps the corner of the iron
girder is regarded as particularly safe
place for home, because no boy can get
to 1t without a good deal Of dangerous
climbing. The workmen on the IL" road
rather like to see the birds about. They
say that where the birds build-and there is
more than one nest on the iron structure

DISTRIBUTION OF SEEDS.
How the Elements Garry Plants to
Long Distances.


RO" tnO kEAemSnt0 CaEEY FlAnt1 to
Long Distances.
From Meshan's Monthly.
1t Is said that on visit to the Island of
krakatoa. four years after the outburst Of
the volcano had destroyed every living
thing. a traveller found 248 species of plants
that had already found home there. Es-
says have treated on this fact as inducing
the wonderful power of the wind in carry
ing seeds long distances, and Of the re-
markable contrivances in the nature of
wings by which seeds are enabled to be
transported by winds.
theoretically one might reason that wings
are given to seeds to enable them to f1y;
but when the matter Is tested practically
the result is a surprise. In the case Of the
linden, the seeds which manage to get any
considerable distance will be found to be
hollow. The sound solid seeds are all un-
der the trees, or at most but little dis
tance away. The dandeion and similar
plants are continually used in illustra ton.
II we watch dandelion as the breeze
foats over the crown of pappus. the seeds
are seen to fall a little aside, and 1t snaps
from It's feecy crown, the latter floating
away. leaving the seed behind. II we
gather head and give ii a jar, the pappus
does not separate, and we can see how
awkwardly it floats away. 1t is indeed i'm
possible by reason of the weight for the
downy head to carry the seed far away. II
it will be found usually hollow or imper-
feet. In many pine seeds it will be found
that only the hollow ones are carried any
considerable distance. II we are to look
for single purpose only, 1t would be just
as reasonable to conclude that wings were
provided i'll order that the light seeds
might be famed out, in order that the good
seeds might have better chance to grow.
1t is one Of the weaknesses of modern
scientific philosophy to imagine that ma
tGre has but single purpose in view in the
arrangement of things
Nature Is a grand instrument in which a
few things can be made to produce an in
tinity of harmonious sounds. 1t is not fair
10 assume that any arrangement, however
peculiar, was provided for any one purpose
wholly.
AS to the distribution of seeds on islands,
the muddy feet of BIRDS their feathers, or
oven material for building nests, more
responsible for results than the winds. 1t
would be interesting to know how many of
the 2i6 species had wind-loving seeds.
