HumAnity's Great Debt to Him-A Few
olution In Surgery.
Sir Joseph Lister Acknowledges his
supreme Indebtedness to Pasteur for
the discovery that putrefactioa was Q
fermentation due to microbes, which
could not arise de novo from the de-
composable substance, says Scribner's.
With this as a basis the great surgeon
persisted, in the face Of much opposi-
ton, in perfecting a simple antiseptio
dressing-that is, one which would de-
stroy any microbes that could fall on
the wound and purify the surgeons
hands and instruments. His success
accomplished a veritable revolution in
surgery. To select a single instance:
The general hospital at Munich had
come to such a state Of unhealth that
fully so per cent of all wounds were
infected by the poisonous gangrene. 4
surgeon was sent to England to learn
the new "Listerism," and after his re-
turn not single case of hospital gan
creme appeared in the Munich KraD-
kenhaus. Many allied dangers were
totally destroyed by this gospel Of
cleanliness. and in addition the suffer-
ing OF patients during necessary opera
tons was vastly relieved, owing to the
absence Of Inflammation. The most
conservative savants estimate that the
Lister antiseptic has increased the field
Of remedial surgery twentyfold and
that the mortality OF hazardous opera
tons has been reduced from probably
so per cent to something like 1 per cent
With antiseptic treatment the skull,
even the viscera, can be safely entered
for operation, and 1t is literally true
that modern surgery can without dan
ger remove any part Of the human
organism which Is not itself essential

Halley's comet Ia coming back-the

scnquest and whose terror-inspiring
visit was commemorated BY the hand
Of Queen Matilda In the Bayeaux

the comet that in 145s, the year Of the

BY g bull from the pope; the comet
whose strange, scimiter form sill
chilled the marrow OF the ignorant

In 1885. It Is yet far away, but the
eye of science sees It, already within
the orbit Of Neptune. rushing sunward
and earthward with constantly increas-
ing velocity as it falls along the steep
curve Of its orbit. And cali to arms,
q call for preparation, has Just been
issued from one Of the chief watch
towers OF astronomy. Prof. Glassnapp
announces that the computing bureau
established by the Russian Astronom-

comet with a view to predicting the
exact date of the next return He
hopes that astronomers acquainted
with unpublished observations Of the

It was finally swallowed from sight.
It will be in perihelion again about
1911, but with the great telescopes now

The Smallest Dog In the World
The English papers record the death
Of q celebrity, in the person, so to
speak, Of the toy terrier Tiny, who was
rsputSd TO be the smallest dog In the
world. Though Tiny was the property
Of q general, Sir Archibald McLaine,
As was scarcely a war dog.
Tiny was four inches long and could
easily curl up and lie down on the
hand Of a young boy. He had, how
ever. reached adult years. Like most
toy" dogs, which are really a perver-
sion Of nature, Tiny was . very weak
and unpleasant specimen Of doghood-
He had no appetite and could harsly
al enough to keep himself alive. He
died at last Of a cold, though he was
always scrupulously blanketed when
he went out and his master, following
Q custom which is quite general in Eng
land, had his little body skinned and
stuffed and presented 1t to the 70
illogical museum in London. Tiny, like
almost all the very smallest Of pigmy
dogs, was Of the black-and-tan terrier
breed. His small size was not the re-
sun, as some people suppose In such
CAGES, Of dwarfing the creatures
growth by feeding 1t on whisky, but
Of selection in breeding.
