COCAINE PREFERa3IE

Elysee Reclus, the famous scientist
mas recently read before the Academy
OF sciences in Paris a raper ab,ut
eucalne, which by some German sct
entlsts IS preferred to cocaine as = II
cai ahaesthetic, says the Philadelphia
RECORD. He compared the two sub
stances by injecting a 1 per cent solu-
tlon into the region where he desired

Inc result was entirely in favor Of CO.
came for several reasons The infec-
tlon or the eucaine is more painful
than that of cocaine, which Is con-
str1ctlve, while the eucaine Is dilatiye
ana, therefore, fills with blood the part
to be operated upon by opening the
arteries. The insensibility produced
by eucaine lasts thirty. or at the most
thtrty-hve minutes, instead of sixty
or seventy minutes of insensibility pro-
duced by cocaine. The only advantage
of eucaine would be its lesser viru-
lence, and it is questionable whether
that property would fully compensate
for its shortcomings in the three points
mentioned above. Prof Pouchat has
experimental with eucaine on animals
and found that the effects of eucaina
were in some respects similar to those
of cocaine, but considerably more pro-
nounced. Prof Reclus warns, there
fore, against the use of eucaine and
advocates strongly the retention of
f. cocaine, which he has used to produce
an anaesthetic state more than 1000
times without one single fatal accident.

The adjournment of the legislature
brings the end to hard winters work
on the part of the executive council
of the state federation of labor. So in
dustriously had those composing the
council applied themselves to the task
mapped out for them by the last con-
vention of the federation, and so little
was their reward, expected through
the agency of the legislature, that the
end comes as a most welcome relief.
About twenty meetings have been held
by the council since last December,
and the manner in which the business
was transacted has excited favorable
comment from the observant organized
workers of the state, Nothing now re-
mains for the council to do except to
prepare its report 10 the federation. A
discussion was had on this subject at
a meeting held last Tuesday, but the
shaping of the report will not be begun
until the next meeting, which will be
at the call Of the secretary. The net
results of the legislative session just
closed may be summed up as follows:
Bills suggested and advocated by the feder-
alton: Passed, BARRIERS, plumbers and horse
shoers' license: repeating struck jury law.
Failed of passage: The more prominent ones:
Free text books, eisht-hour. labor bureau re-
organization, compelling corporations to pay
interest on deposits 10 guarantee faithful
service. to label prisOn-fuade goods.
OF the bills Objectionable to the federation
which failed of passage, the antitrust, i'm
migration bureau and a personal injury meas
ure, by Senator o4rnla, are~the most promi-
nent.
The Powers investigation although it can
not be c.assed as iecls'at.on, is the most If
not the cnly tangible result OF the session,
from the standpoint of organized labor.

work for the city of London has the
stipulation that the trades union prices
shall govern all wages paid. Nearly all
work is done directly by the city; the

wages as the others, the city looking to
him as security for the quality of work

Italy, where tradition is a voice calling
