MODERN SURGERY.
The Great Debt It Owes to Pasteur and

The Great Debt It Owes to Pasteur and
Sir Joseph Lister.
Sir Joseph lister acknowledges his su.
preme indebtedness to Pasteur for the dis
eovery that putrefaotion was a fermenta-
ton due TO microbes which could not arise
de novo from the decomposable substance.
With this as q basis the great surgeon per
sisted, in the Face Of much opposition, in
perfeoting simple antiseptlc dressing
that is, one which would destroy any mi
crobes that would fall on the wound and
purify the surgeons hands and instru-
ments. His success accomplished a yeri-
table revolution surgery. To select a
single INSTANCE, the great general bospi-
tai at M1nioh bad come to sloh a state of
unhealth that fully 90 per cent of all
wounds were infected By the poisonous
gangrene.

Many allied dangers were totally destroyed
by this gospel OF cleanliness, and in addi-
zion the suffering Of patients during neces-
sary operations was vastly relieved owing
to the absence OF Inflammation. The most
conservative savants estimate that the Lis
ter antisepsis has increased the field of
remedial surgery twentyfold and that the
mortality OF hazardous operations has been
reduced from probably so per cent to some
thing like per cent with antiseptio
treatment the skull, even the yiscera, can
be safely entered for operation, and it is
literally true that mndern SURGERY can

Held By IT. Giittsring Eye. . Rabbit
Awaited Certain Death.
A gopher snake at Escondido has been
the cause of much earnest discussion
among local naturalists recently. The
question discussed was, "Do Snakes
Charm or Hypnotize Their PreyY'' One
Of the naturalists had the unusual but
fortunate experience at Escondido of
happening upon n large gopher snake
just as the reptile was about to over
come trembling oottontail rabbit and
envelop the animal in its deadly coils.
For some time the naturalist watched
the snakes movements.
II was within 10 or 10 inches Of the
apparently fascinated rabbit. Silently
and almost imperceptibly the snake had
wormed Its way nearer and nearer TO
its victim. Its eyes glistened with an
intense brightness Not movement did
1t make which might alarm the timid
rabbit The forked tongue. which to the
eye Of human being is so repulsive
and intended to be terrifying, appeared
to exert an entirely different influence
upon the mind Of the innocent rabbit.
This darting tongue either excited the
victims curiosity on caused the animal
to 10 concentrate its mind ON the snakes
tongue rs to throw that mind into a
hypnotic condition Of such strength that
IL could not break the spell and run
away from impending death. The forked
tongue darted out Of the snakes mouth

falls In the cloth. The 1.-THE body crept
nearer and nearer. The rabbit was mo-
tionless It's eye was fixed ON the pierre
ing eye Of the snake. Even the waving
Of the wind kissed shrubs about the
rabbit failed to break the spell, and
softly and slowly grim death in snake
form wreathed its folds about the crea-
ture. Then was the spell broken.
To the naturalist who watched the
capture of the rabbit il appeared as IL
the snake had certainly fascinated the
animal As gopher snake Is not poi
sonous and has no well developed fangs,
Its only means of killing prey is by con-
striction. In order TO catch an animal IL
seems almost necessary for the snake to
fascinate the victim. Washington Post.
