A Now sureicaI 1nstrument.

An instrument which, as the name de.
notes, is intended for the arrest OF
bleeding in surgical operations, has been
perfected by Lawson TAFT, of London.
A platinum wire, arranged to carry a
current of electricity, is inclosedSn the
blades of a pair of steel forceps or any
other requisite instrument, the wire be-
ing insulated by bed of burnt pipe
clay. A current of suitable voltage is
turned on, the artery seized and COM
pressed and in a few seconds the tissues
and arterial walls are so agglutinatcd
that the passage of blood Is rendered
impossible. The temperature employed
is about $50 degrees Fahrenheit, SO that
it will be seen that the principle is fun
damentally different from that of cleo
trical cauterizing instruments. 1t is
stated that by Mr.. Tait's instrument
the necessity of a ligature is removed,
and new and completely effective
method is placed in the hands of the
surgeon for the treatment of surface
oozing.

A WONDERFUL sEAwgep.
Has Stem Sometimes Three Hundred
Feet Long.


Feet Long.
One of the most extraordinary sea-
weeds among the Laminariace@ is the
Nereocystis, the stem of which OCCASION
ally attains length of 300 feet, though
extremely slender, even at the top,
where it is surmounted by huge float
ing bladder six feet or seven feet in
length, that affords favorite resting
place to the sea otter. This plant is
found on the northeast coast of
America and the opposite shores of
Asia. The filiform stem, which is
about as thick as pack-thread, sudden
" swells above, when two feet or three
feet long, into a globose bladder, from
the top of which springs a tuft of ger
inmate leaves mostly rising on five
petioles. AS the plant grows older the
stem increases enormously in length,
but only slightly in thickness. The
globose bladder swells into a turnip-
shaped or retort-like cyclinder, six feet
long and four feet six inches or more in
diameter in the widest part, the lower
extremity gradually passing into the
stem. The leaves, which at first were
marked with few faint nerves, split in
the direction of the latter, cover a wide
space by their entangled mass, and at
tain length of so feet or more. When
the plant grows in any quantity, 1t
forms large floating islands, and the
surface of the sea becomes impossible
to boats. The stem, when dry, is en-
ployed by the Aleutians for fishing
lines, some of which have a length of
40 or more fathoms. The large bladders
are used by the same people as syphons
for pumping water out of their boats

UNHAPPY AUSTRIA.
Her Only Capable Parliamentary Party

Her Only Capable Parliamentary Party
Is Broken by Dissensions.
The cruel humiliation Austria suf
fered in Italy was followed by the
crushing blow at Sadowa, and the not
less painful collapse of a brothers am
billions in Mexico, says the Saturday Re
view. If the dignity of Caesar was to
be saved for the Hapsburgs out of the
wreck, Il seemed most likely to be
achieved on the lines suggested by
Count Beust. The choice once made,
it was impossible to turn back. What
is given as boon to distressed nation
sfterward be withdrawn on the plea OF
prudence. The result is pathetic, but
there is no help for it.
We see Croats, Ruthenians, Poles,
Servians, Wallachs and the rest of the
half-barbarous hordes cutting one an
others throats when they are not COM
bining to insult the civilized Hungarians
and Germans, whose fate it is to be
their neighbors; we see Vienna itself
in the hands of fanatical anti-Semitic
rabble, and we see the power of the only
capable parliamentary party in Aus
tria broken by hopeless discussions.
Truly, the domestic state of the empire
is nothing less than pitiable. Its in
f1uence in Europe is also thing of the
past. The Balkan states, which were
its props in the south, have publicly
gone over to Russia, and its solitary
remaining protection against dismem-
berment is the alliance with Italy, which
covets Dalmatia, and with Germany,
which is moving heaven and earth to es-
tablish secret relations with Russia.

CAPTURING ELEPHANTS.

Sport That the Maharajah Occasionally
INDUCES In.
The enterprise is organized for the
amusement of the maharajah, and takes
place only once in about four years,
else the forest would be denuded of big
game. A small army, consisting Of
about $3.50 men and perhaps three ele-
phants and few horses, take part In
the hunt, says Chambers Journal, and
they carry tents and provisions, just
as If o campaign against a powerful en-
envy were in progress. When the pad
marks of the elephant are found he Is
steadily tracked down, and as soon as
he is found a trained fighter of his own
species is urged against him.
As q rule, he steadily retreats upon
sight of his pursuers, and their OBJ
ject is to press him so as to tire him
out BE then stands at bay, and tho
tug of war commences. The opposing
animals butt at one another with their
heads down, and should one show his
TANKS, he is quickly brought to earth.
When finally conquered, the wild ele-
plant is pressed by his pursuers toward
water, of which he Is so much In need
after his exertions that his hind legs
can be shackled as hedrinks. He Is then
kept attached by ropes 10 other ele-
phants until he gradually becomes 40

cure for all pulmonary complaints. Its
effect upon throat, lungs and bronchial

all the digestive organs, promotes assirnila-

tains elements that work directly on the
nerves, giving them steadiness and strength.
1t is for this reason highly recommended to
those suffering from brain flag, overwork
and loss of sleep. Thousands of people
have testified TO the wonderful benefits re-
ceived from this great medicine. Among
them, Mrs Ella Howell, of Derby, Perry

portions of it must, of course, be reabsorbed by
the blood. It is thus carried all over the body,

serious symptoms. 1t can be quickly and perma-

Prof. Todd Discovers Trembling Hin
in the Bad Lands.
Prof. ]. E. Todd, state geologist of
South Dakota, who recently left YER
million in charge of geological survey
ing party for q tour of exploration in
the Black Hills and vicinity, is sending
back reports of much interest concern
ing the discovery of what looks like an
extinct volcano on Sand creek in the
Bad lands, not far from Hermosa.
Near the point where the creek empties
into~<he White river is a hill so feet in
height. This hill, he states, vibrates
and groans almost constantly. The
men living in the vicinity are given as
authority for the statement that it has
once or twice trembled SO violently as
to overturn wagons and throw down
persons standing upon it. About half
way up it's side is a bed of volcanic ashes
ten and fifteen feet in depth. Another
peculiar formation reported is that of
valley near Pine Ridge in which are
numerous shifting dunes. They are
believed to change their positions with
every change of the wind, and are re-
ceiving much attention from the sur
veying party. 1t is expected that the
results of the expedition will be of
great value.
