A single tree, according to a com
putation in knowledge, is able,
through its leaves, to purify the air
from the carbonic acid arising from
the respiration of considerable num-
Der of men, perhaps a dozen or even
a score. The volume of earbonic acid
eXhaled by a human being in the
course of twenty-four hours is put at
about 100 gallons; but by Boussin-
gault's estimate, & single square yard
OF leaf surface. counting both the up
per and under sides of the leaves, can,
under favorable circumstances, decom-
pose at least a gallon OF carbonIc acid
in a day. One hundred square yards
Of leaf-surface then would suffice TO
keep the air pure for one man. but

present a surface of many hundred
square Yards.

Thore never was another camp in
the southwest like that at Tombstone
in 1879 and 1880. Indeed, there have
been very few similar conditions in the
world. For over seven months the
daily output of precious metals aver
aged about 1000, says the New York
Mail and Express. Over dozen men
went there penniless and came away
worth over 100000 in less than a
year, and six or seven men struck 1t
rich and sold out for 81 100000 each.
Fully half the population walked hun
dreds of miles TO get there No rail-
road ran through southern Arizona in
those days, and the awful Colorado
and Mojave deserts had to be crossed
in wagons or on foot by the nulti-
tude of fortune seekers from Califor-
MIA. Desert sandstorms were encoun-
tered. and for days travellers to Tomb
stone endured a temperature OF over
$50 degrees in the shade. Many man
died on the hot, sandy plains. Miners
on their way to the new camp from
the east and south toiled across the
Arizona alkali plains through i'm
mense cactus areas. and risked their
lives in the then hostile land of the
Apache Indians.
When Tombstone was reached there
were new privations and more physi-
cal distress for the greater number,
especially for those who had fastened
from Offices, stores, clerkships and
their pastors study. Over one-third
of the men in camp had very little
money, or none at all, and knew no
way of earning it except by the hard
est kind of manual labor, to which
they were unused. 1t cost 81 night
to sleep in a dirty, rough, pine bunk.
Water sold at 20 cents a gallon. a
small dish of beans at so cents. tai
low candle at two bits (25 centsl, com
mon overalls at So each, smoked hams
at $12 each, and cowhide boots were
disposed of as fast as they could be
hauled to camp across the desert from
Los Angeles and Yuma for $50 a pair.
In 1881 all the Tombstone mines that
paid well were in the hands of few
persons and the population Of the place
had gone down from 10000 to 5000.
In 1883 the mines, with two exceptions,
began to peter out and the population
dropped to 5000. Since then 1t has
gone down slowly to less than 1000

The Baltimore and Ohio South West
ern Railway has been experimenting
with electric motors on turntables.
Turning locomotives at divisional
points and terminals is a service of
much annoyance and no little expense
to railroad companies. 1t generally
takes four men to turn a locomotive,
and while they are doing so their reg
uTs work is abandoned.
Experiments were made with an
electric motor on the 60-foot turn
table at Chillicothe with such success
that the Park Street turn-table in
Cincinnati was similarly equipped. The
result has been rather astonishing in
the matter of expense. The current
was purchased from the power plant,
and it cost on an average of less than
one-half cent for each time the table
was turned. When this same table was
operated by hand it cost IL cents for
each engine. The yearly saving is
about $709.

ANTS USED TO SEW WOUND
Remarkable Surgical Methods Practiced
by Native Indians OF Brazil

GractIceu
by Native Indians OF Brazil.
Science has made vast strides during
the last half Of the century, and in no
branch of knowledge is this progress
more marked than in that of surgery,
says the New York Herald. Many an
operation is now performed with facil-
ity and safety which was not dreamed
OF nifty years ago, and many an opera
ton which we now consider trivial aid
beneath remark was then considered
as next TO impossible TO perform. The
introduction of anaesthetics and the
researches of Lord Lister in antiseptic
surgery account largely for this state
OF affairs. Indeed. before the intro
duction of antiseptic methods in the oD-
Grating theater as many lives were lost
nom those bugbears of all surgeons,
pyemia and septicemia, as resulted
from the operations themselves. The
method. therefore, of securing wound
which is still prevalent among the Bra
lillian Indians can be looked upon as at
least strictly antseptic. The materials
required for performing the operation
are found handy almost anywhere in
Brazilian forests. These are q species
OF very large ant, which has mandi-
bles which can bite through almost any
substance. The mouth is furnished
with transversely movable jaws and
does not possess a sting. A bite from
one OF these ants is perfectly harmless
and is followed by no swelling or other
evil results. The lower lip of the ant,
instead OF being simple cover to the
mouth, is developed into a strange
jointed organ, which can be shot out
much further than the upper lip, or
when at rest can be folded fiat over the
face and can be rapidly protruded or
withdrawn. 1t is furnished at its ex-
tremity with pair Of forceps, and
is able to grasp objects with the
strength and firmness of a small pair
of pincers. Nothing, unless cased IN
metal. can resist those jaws. What
the Brazilian Indian does when he or
one of his patients receives a cash is
this: He catches some of these ants.
and holding them to the wound, which
he has previously closed together. lets
them bite. They fix their mandibles
on each side of the wound and then
he pinches off the rest of the body,
leaving the mandibles and jaws to close
up the wound. A row of these ants
heads keep wound closed quite as eff
fectively as the needle and thread of
the surgeon, but the pain given to the
victim of this rude style of surgery
must be considerable. Rude as this
method may seem, however, it has its
advantages in being strictly antiseptic
and causing no evil after effects. The
jaws of the ant are extracted with a
pair of forceps after the wound has
satisfactorily healed.
