forate the coating and drop down into
the cavity Of the eyeball. Especially is
this the case when IL passes through the
iris or the pupil. One instance was
mentioned to me by the attendants at
the hospital Of q splinter which passed
entirely through the eye and lodged in
the coating ON the other side Of the ball.
Applied to the eye. the big magnet will
reveal with accuracy to the skilled sight
of the physician the position Of the
troublesome particle. Knowing this, he
can remove it by an operation. Only ip
the most desperate cases need loss of
sight follow.
It is now little more than year
since the first experiment with the mag
net was made at the infirmary. During
that entire time not single failure has
been recorded. The magnet is as relia.

a dozen persons with unimpaired sight,

A Broken Tooth In His Tongue Over
Thirty Years.
DR.. John j. II. Love of Orange, N.
j., recently removed from the tongue of
Lieutenant A. p. Haring of Montolair
q piece Of tooth that had been imbed-
ded beneath the surface for 81 years.
Lieutenant Haring was wounded at
the battle Of Kinston, N. O., q bullet
having entered his left cheek, fracturing
the jawbone and breaking of five of his
lower teeth. The wound healed up and
fragments Of bone were gradually re-
moved, but the veteran bad been trou.
bled at times Of late by some object
which seemed to be lodged in his tongue.
Mr.. Haring finally became very much
annoyed by soreness at the tip Of the
tongue, and DR.. Love was consulted.
The doctor made an incision and re-
moved the upper half Of . tooth which
an enemy's bullet had shattered. The
piece Of tooth had worked its way
around from the left side to the right
side OF the tongue. and never came near
enough to the surface to cause any i'll
effects until recently. y.-Excbange.

saw-excepting the lady married. Do

For some time she kept closely to her
fathers tent, but gradually, in that de-
mocracy of intercourse which prevails in
winter frontier camps and hay rides, we
by degrees saw more and more of the young
woman until Starlight-that was her
name-became part in all the camp life.
You have guessed the result. Bob fell in
love with her. Ho raved about her until
threatened to no longer share our tent
with him. Needless to say, gave him
good advice; needless to say, he scoffed 1t.
He would take her to his people in the east

"A STRANGE MAGNET.
EXTRACTS PARTICLES OF IRON OR
STEEL FROM THE EYES.

This Electro Magnet Has . Drawing Force
Of Sixteen Pounds - It Has Nos Yailed
since 1t Was First Used, About Year
Ago.
The magnet has now become one Of
the greatest aids to the eye surgeon.
The wonderful power Of electricity for
human good is demonstrated every week
at the New York Eye and Ear infirm-
ary. Few persons know of the seeming
marvels which have been accomplished
with the giant electro magnet. which is
located in the operating rooms Of the
institution referred to.
The particular use to which the cleo
tro magnet at the infirmary is put is to
locate or extract particles of iron or
Gteel lodged in the eye. The simplicity
and utility of the plan are obvious, and
yet this magnet represents the first
practical experiment in the use of elec-
tricity to aid the surgeon in removing
the bits OF iron and steel which have,
previous to the adoption Of the magnet
system, generally caused blindness.
The soft iron core Of the magnet is
about two feet long and three inches in
diameter. It is pointed at each end.
The winding is disposed ON spools
and is supplied with current from the
house mains The whole magnet rests
on stand and Is arranged TO turn easi-
ly at the touch Of hand. The most
wonderful feature of the whole thing is
the fact that this great power here dis
played can be manipulated in 90 deli
cate q manner as to perform the incest
of operations.

struck In the eye by . fne splinter Of

quires the attention cf the most skillful

once to the hospital. Tie first thing to
do is to locate the piece of metal. The
