The latest adjunct that science gives
to the surgical operator is an electric
eye Strictly speaking, it is not an eye
at all, but rather sort of searchlight,
which is used to aid the human eye in
delicate surgical operations.
Oftentimes surgeons are handicapped
in their work by the fact that they can
not see distinctly the parts upon which
they must operate. The formation of
the human body is such that in many
instances no light can be put directly
upon the particular part of the human
anatomy that is to be operated upon
The eye can see to the extent of human
capability, but in intricate operations,
however strong the light in the operat-
ing theater may be, the rays lack that
penetration and power of concentration
SO necessary to delicate surgical opera
TONS
Professor Charles e. Quimby, of
Bellevue hospital, New York, has pat
ented this new aid to surgery. From an
ordinary electric light wire connection
is made with this device, which fits the
face much in the manner of a pair Of
spectacles. The appliance in itself con-
sists of two small incandescent lamps,
which are fitted one above and the other
below the eye of the operator They are
so adjusted that the rays focus at point
sufficiently near the ordinary point Of
vision to throw all the power of the
electric rays upon the point desired.
1t is practically a portable searchlight
adapted to The operating theater. The
lamps are in the form of an annular
glass globe, with an Illuminating con-
ductor. An insulated backing, consist
ing of metal leather lined band, which
passes around the head, prevents the
heat from affecting the wearer, and at
the same time holds the light in position
and prevents any possible effect that
otherwise the electricity might have
upon the wearer The lights more near
ly resemble long glass tubes than any
thing else. Within these tubes are placed
the lamps, which can be adjusted to any
desired angle. When direct downward
ray is desired. small reflector is fixed
above the light and the rays thrown in
the desired direction. Francisco

William E. Curtis, the newspaper
correspondent, tells the following story
of Washington colored woman: "The
wife of a naval officer in this city,
whose husband has just returned from
long cruise, is fixing up her home here
and sent her lace curtains to a colored
woman to be done up. The 'washlady'
returned them on the day agreed upon,
but apologized because they were SO
'lmpsey' and offered to do them over
again If she were allowed few days.

of Cold Harbor.

Terrible Scenes That Followed the Battle
of Cold Harbor.
General Horace Porter. in Cam
paigning With Grant," in The Century,
telling Of the the battle of Cold Har-
! Dor, says:
The general in chief realized that he
was in a swampy and sickly portion of
the country. The malaria was highly
productive of disease, and the Chicka-
hominy fever was dreaded by all the
troops who had recollection of its
ravages when they campaigned in that
section OF the country two years before
The operations had been SO active that
precautions against sickness had neces-
sarlly been much neglected, and the
general was anxious, while giving the
men some rest, to improve the sanitary
conditions. By dint of extraordinary
exertions the camps were we'll policed
and large quantities of fresh vegetables
were brought forward and distributed.
Cattle were received in much better
condition than those which had made
long marches and had furnished beef
which was far from being wholesome
Greater attention was demanded in the
cooking of the food and the procuring
OF better water. Dead animals and offal
were buried, and more stringent SAM
tary regulations were enforced through
out the entire command
What was most distressing at this
time was the condition of affairs at the
extreme front No one who did not wit
ness the sights ON those portions of the
line where the opposing troops were in
exceptionally close contact can form an
idea of the sufferings experienced. Staff
officers used to work their way on foot
daily to the advanced points, so as to
be able to report with accuracy these
narrowing scenes. Some of the sights
were not unlike those of the s'bloody
angle at Spottsylvania. Between the
lines where the heavy assaults had been
made there was in some places dis
lance of 30 or 40 yards completely COW
cred by the dead and wounded of both
sides. The bodies of dead were fostering
in the sun, while the wounded were dy-
ing torturing death from starvation,
thirst and loss of blood. In some places
the stencil became sickening Every at
tempt to make a change in the picket
line brought on heavy firing, as both
sides had become nervous from long
watchfulness, and the slightest move
ment on either front led to the belief
that it was the beginning of an assault
In the night there was often heavy ar
tillery firing, sometimes accompanied by
musketry, with view to lettering the
other side from attacking, or occasioned
by false rumors Of an attempt to as

had to lie close to the ground in narrow

There is only one pearl farm in the
world. 1t is in the Torres strait, at the
northern extremity of Australia, and be-
longs to James Clark of Queensland
Mr.. Clark, who is known as "the king
of the pearl fishers, " originally stocked
it with $50, 900 pearl oysters Now
1880 men-200 of whom are divers
and $50 vessels are employed III har-
vesting the crop.
l have been 10 years engaged in
pearl fishing" Mr. Clark told a CORE
spondent of the Melbourne Age. 81 began
in small way and have given the fish
cries my close attention during all this
time. My experience has led me to the
belief that, with proper intelligence in
the selection of a place, one can raise
pearls and pearl shells as easily as one
can raise oysters.
81 started my farm three years ago
and have stocked it with shells which
obtained, in many instances, far out at
sea. To grow shells successfully, how
ever, according to my experience thus
far, the water must not be too deep.
"My pearl shell farm covers 5,OS9
square miles. Over most of it the water
is shallow. In shallow water shells at
tain the greatest size, and, besides, it is
hard on the divers to go down deep for
them.
II ship my pearls to London in my
own vessels. The catch each year runs,
roughly speaking, from 5000, 900 worth
up to almost five times that amount. -

Enown generally among the meolcaI
profession. DR.. Clado, French surgeon
and investigator, sought an explanation
OF the comparative immunity of the fe-
male sex from the malady, and discov-
cred that the appendix in woman has an
extra blood vessel that does not exist in
man. This discovery was hailed with
delight by the surgical world. 1t was
not only a bit of new knowledge of in
finite value, but was an additional proof
OF the theory that the collapse of the
appendix is always due to its want of
vital resistance New York Journal.

queer. The San Francisco Post, for in
stance, tells how laboring man in that
city found himself fortunate in a way
most unexpected.
When the noon whistle blew the other
day, he sat down ON a box in the shade,
thrust his hand into his overcoat pocket,
looked surprised and then remarked:
"I've lost my lunch.
He pondered over his predicament a
moment and then added:
We'll, I've got something to drink
anyway" And he pulled bottle of
coffee out of his other pocket.
He slowly drained the bottle, threw
it aside and sat lost in thought for a
moment. Suddenly he sprang up, slap
ped his thigh and exclaimed:
'It's a good job lost my lunchp'
why so?'' inquired another work
man.

THE MANIAC IN THE CAR.
A Drama With Satisfactory Ending For
All but the Nervous Woman.

Drama With Satisfactory Ending For
All but the Nervous Woman.
Itwas perfectly obvious that the man
In the corner was crazy. At least it was
perfectly obvious to the nervous looking
woman who sat just opposite him in
the cable car. 1t was not so much the
mystical series of wigwag signals which
he was making with his handkerchief
as the amazing contortions of his face.
In the intervals Of these contortions he
stared intently in the direction of his
nervous vis-a-vis, but at nothing in the
world, so vague was his look Then he
would tap the bridge of his nose with
his finger, grimace and screw up his
features into horrible expressions of
malignant madness.
The poor woman didn't know what
to do Her alarm was SO apparent that
all the others in the car noticed it, even
the man himself in one of his lucid in
tervals, and thereafter his performances
became more violent than ever. Every
physician knows that maniacs delight
in playing upon the terrors of those who
exhibit fear Of them. Perhaps the wom-
an herself knew it. At any rate her
feelings finally reached an intensity
such that when the man half rose from
his seat she shrank into her corner with
a stified squeak, which brought from
him glance of triumph, or perhaps it
was surprise. But he only sank back
again, with an expression of disappoint-
ment, as If his time had not yet come
which indeed it hadn't. Thereafter she
held herself gathered close, with every
muscle strained, ready to spring and
flee. She didn't have long to wait
The man looked toward her with that
terrible. unseeing glare. His fists clinch-
ed The handkerchief clinched in one
of them jerked in short, sharp oscilla-
lions. His eyes began to bulge out His
face became purple. Beneath his curl
ing lips could be seen his teeth, bare to
the gums. He leaned forward toward
the horror struck woman, his face pro-
truding almost into hers. His sharp.
hot breath was on her cheek, and Just
as his arms went up to clutch she made
one bound from her seat that took her
half way down the car.
Two more leaps landed her on the
platform. Thence, with a mad yell, she
launched herself forth, despite the re-
straining grasp of the alarmed conductor,
and was fortunately caught by a police
man, who escorted her to the sidewalk,
where she wept. From behind she heard
a mad, gasping roar of baffled rage, but
the maniac did not follow.
He didn't want to- He sank back in
his seat again and wiped his fearful
eyes. Then he took out newspaper and
began to read. 1t had been hard strug-
gle, but it had ended in victory. He had
got that sneeze out.-New York Sun.
