TEMPORARY BLOOD SUBSTITUTE.


Why Saline Solution II Injected Into the
Veins Of Wounded Persons.
Occasionally in cases Of serious
wounds where there has been great loas
OF blood the published reports state
that "saE,e solution" was injected into
the veins to supply the deficiency. The
average reader. however. has a very
vague if any idea how . solution Of
salt takes the place of blood.
Not to go into a complies analysis OF
the blood, it is sufficient to note that Of
1000 parts, $50. Is is composed of wa
ter, albumen 65 parts. sodium and po-
tassium S.371, coloring matter (sup-
piled by the red blood corpuscles) 1873,
leaving only some IL parts to be COM
posed OF fibrin, fat, calcium and mag
nesium. etc. Where there is serious los,
Of blood a state Of collapse sets in, be-
cause the normal weight of blood being
reduced the hearts action is dimin-
ished, there being less resistance for
that organ to overcome
To counteract the result Of shock and
collapse it is necessary to stimulate the
heart by restoring the normal weight,
In other words to get it to work by Civ
ing it something to work ON. As the
analysis shows, Of 1000 parts Of blood
nearly 800 are composed of water and
sodium, and therefore q plain saline
solution makes good substitute. The
heart does not know the difference, and
il goes to pumping away as usual as
soon as this imitation blood gets in the
veins. The saline solution serves to tide
the patient over the danger point. As
tho food is converted into chyle, new
blood is formed, the red corpuscles are
supplied rapidly from the normal tissues.
and the saline solution is thrown of
through the secretions in the usual way.
Formerly TRANSMISSION Of blood was
the means employed. but this always
objectionable method has been supplant-
ed. The greatest objection to the trans
fusion of blood from one person to an
other was that to supply the necessary
amount to restore the wounded patient
it was inevitable that the volunteer
should be almost as badly drained, so
that the physician Would have two pa
tents on his hands where he had one.
Besides there was always the risk Of
transfusing disease to the patient with
the others blood. Dogs and sheep have
been sacrificed to surgery for this pur-
pose, but most people prefer to use blood

At terminal points ON the elevated

guards on the trains go through the cars
and pick up anything that may have
been left by the passengers and turn it

the Manhattan Railway company, at 80
Greenwich street. There the article is
inspected and record Of the finding of

made in book kept for that purpose
there is book for each division of the
road. Then it is wrapped up, properly
tagged or labeled, and held to await its
owner. Sometimes the ownership Of a
package is discovered upon examining it.
Then If it is not called for the company
notifies the owner Of the finding of it.
In this way articles are restored to their
owners daily.
Umbrellas are the articles most nu-
merously found Of these there are found
from $500 to 5000 year; they are of
all kinds and qualities. The number, of
umbrellas found increases from year to
year about In the same proportion us the
increase Of travel. Next to umbrellas in
the numbers found come satchels, and
after them, about in the order named,
come hats, shoes, books and the various
things that arc done mp in packages.
There are found also watches, diamonds,
hardware, music, bottles and in the
course Of the year many other things in
greet variety.
Altogether from the various divisions
Of the road there are turned over to the
lost property department about $4,000
pieces year. About haif Of these lost
articles are called for. Articles of small
value are kept six months; articles Of
greater value are kelk a year. Things
not called for are finally sold by public
auction at sales held semiannually.-

The Experiment ScEgested By FFanklin aA6
Performed BY DAlibsrd.
To Benjamin Franklin belongs tie
merit of having perceived that q direct
experiment. was needed to prove what
60 far was only guess. In an article
entitled "Opinions and Conjectures
Concerning the Properties and Effects
of the Electrical Matter Arising From
Experiments and Observations Made at
Philadelphia, 1749. the following pas
sage occurs:
''To determine the question whether
the clouds that contain lightning are
electrified or not, I would propose IN
experiment to be tried, where it can be
done conveniently. On the top Of some
high tower or steeple place kind of
sentry box, big enough to contain man
and an electrical stand. From the mid
die of the stand let an iron rod rise and
pass, bending out of the door, and then
upright>2 20 feet or 80 feet. pointed very
sharp at the end. II the electrical stand
be kept clean and dry, man standing
ON it when such clouds are passing
low might be electrified and afford
sparks, the rod drawing FIRE to him
from q cloud.
"N any danger to the man should be
apprehended, though I think there
would be none, let him stand ON the
floor of his box, and now and then
bring near to the rod the loop of wire
that has ono end fastened to the leads.
he holding it by wax handle. 50 the
sparks, if the rod be electrified, will
strike from the rod to the wire and not
affect him."
The experiment. suggested by Frank
lin was successfully performed in Marty,
France. by D'Alibard. ON May 10, 1853
in London by Canton, in Spital Square,
on July 80, 1869, and by Wilson In
Chelmsford. Essex. on Aug. 12 of the
same year. Franklin himself described
having used q kite in Philadelphia in q
letter dated Oct 10, without giving the
date Of his observations. But this must
be supplied in some passage which
have not been able to find, for Rosen-
berger ('Geschichte der Physik." vol
ume 3, page 316) mentioned that it was
done in June.
Franklin's disbelief in the dangerous
character. of the experiment must have
received Asevere shock when he heard
of the death of g. W. Richmann, who.
In the year 1853, was killed by an cleo
trio discharge drawn from the clouds
