New stanch For Blood Flowing.

An original and efficacious device for
stopping the flow of blood has for some
time been used by the Chinese meth
cd, it is stated. still entirely unknown
to the medical fraternity of this coun-
try and Europe. The plan is to use
sachets filled with charcoal powder OBJ
tanned from straw, the application Of
these fine bags showing considerable ad-
vantage over the ordinary medicated
gauze. The bags shape themselves per-
fectly over wounds and have consider
able absorbing power, while the cost is
almost nothing. They can be made also
wherever they are to be used and in a
shape to suit each particular case,
which is fact of no little importance
i'll using for field hospitals and surgical
cases. In preparation clean straw is
taken. placed i'll large vat, put Oh fire
and cover which closes Theoretically
is placed on top. The combustion of the
straw is slow and the product is, Of
course, aseptic-that is, devoid of mi

Teeth and Health.

In late years more and more attention
has been paid to the condition of the
teeth of candidates for life insurance,
and now the report Of the dentist is con-
sidered of proportional value with that
of the physician in determining the value
Of the life. So important are the in
dications afforded by the teeth Of the
general health and strength of the con-
stitution of candidates for the United
States navy that unless a would he ca
Diet can pass creditable examination
at the hands Of the dentist he must
make up his mind to look for another
calling. 1t is argued that if the teeth
are not in good trim the digestion, and
eventually, Of course, the general health,
and consequently the professional eff
cheney of the candidate must be impair
ed. These restrictions are now likely to
extend to the army. One of the first
signs of this movement is the announce
ment that bill is to be passed to es-
tablish dental corps in the United
States army. 1t is proposed to make the
army dentist a part of the medical
corps, assigning one surgeon dentist,
with the rank of major, to each brigade,
and one surgeon dentist, with the rank
Of captain, to each regiment. The army
dentists are to be graduates of reputa-
BILE dental colleges The teeth Of the
rank and file Of the army are to be in
spected periodically and kept in order,
and the soldier himself is to be instruct
ed how to second the efforts of the den.

Pharmaceutical Soaps.

The medical journals Of Germany
make mention Of a new sulphur soap
hiosavonal-soluble in water. For the
production Of soaps Of this character
sulphurized oils are used. The thick
liquid THO oil is made fluid with alco-
hol, and gradually mixed while being
continually stirred with an equivalent
volume of potash lye, which is likewise
thinned with alcohol The addition of
large quantities Of potash lye at one
time produces separation of sulphur,
but this danger becomes less toward the
end of the saponification, and at last a
small excess Of potash I've is used. The
fact that all the thiosebacic acid has
saponified is indicated by the liquid APP
pearing clear as a whole and sample
taken being clearly soluble in water as
we'll as in alcohol. The excess of allsali
is neutralized by volatile fatty acid.
Tie soap solution thus obtained is freed
from the alcohol in steam bath and
boiled down to the consistency of soft
salve. being occasionally tested for neu-
trality. Eighty-fve parts of this soap
are mixed with Is parts of glycerin.
The percentage of water in this mixture
is 12and that of thiosebate of potassium
is g.

Novel Fire Engine.

Enthusiastic descriptions are given,
according to the Philadelphia Record,
Of new hand fire engine for use in
suburban and country towns where the
public service is not within easy call
which has lately been brought out in
England. This machine is portable, le-
ing mounted on pair of strong iron
wheels, and can pump some 90 gallons
of water per minute against head Of
60 feet, or, when used in emergency,
can be forced to deliver 100 gallons IL
minute. The engine rests on four iron
feet, this position being effected by
raising the handle of the carriage and
lowering the boiler 1t is of the quick
raising steam type and may be run up
to a working pressure i'll a few minutes,
which for emergency work is of course
of great Importance. The pump can To

DENIsON MARKET SUMMARY
The Same Old Plan.

Beyond question more mares have
been bred this year than III any year
since 1898. A good many of them have
been bred to a very inferior class of
horses, just as they were in the palmy
days of horse breeding, when every
thing was bred and every stallion S
book was full. Go into any locality in
the country, and farmers will be found
who are pursuing the same old plan
the plan that produced colts that Went
to market owing their breeders more
than they brought. Some have learned
the costly lesson, and large breeders have
mostly learned it, but too many have
failed to profit by their losses in the
past. There will be no scarcity of scrub
horses in the future, whatever may be
true Of other kinds.-National Stock

v1,vAL TRACTION.
IA Ohio Canal to Be Operated by a
Trolley.

In accordance with an act passed by
the Ohio legislature, says the Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune, w. G.. Wag-
enhals, general manager of the Cincin-
natl and Miami Valley Traction COM
pany, operating an electric line between
Dayton and Hamilton, has been granted
the privilege by the state board of pub
lie works of experimenting on the Miami
and Erie canal with an apparatus for
driving boats by electricity. If the ex-
pertinent proves a success, the agree
ment is that he is to have franchise
granting him the right to operate line
of boats for term of years, paying to
the state the tolls as are now paid by
the owners of boats drawn by mules.
Mr.. Wagenhals entertains no doubt as
to the result of the experiment and is SO
thoroughly convinced of its success that
he will, without delay, proceed to equip
the Miami and Erie canal with line of
boats which will be drawn by an cleo
trio motor of special design. He says
that four months and an expenditure of
$3.50, 900 will berequired to put the en-
terprise in operation and that he is al
ready backed by an abundance of capt.
tai with which to push the work to an
early completion.
Mr. Wagenhals' scheme in brief is to
lay an ordinary standard gage track
along the towpath of the canal, and by
means of an electric motor, designed for
this especial work, and for which he
has applied for a patent, to draw his
coats in about the same manner as they
are now slowly and tediously drawn by
mules. The motor will be about four
feet in height and will weigh in the

NEW LIFEBoAT.
A Craft Which Will Right Itself when
Unset.

The accompanying illustration repre-
sents novel lifeboat which has been
devised and patented by James Mitchell,
ST., of Arrow River, Manitoba, Canada.
In general form the boat is cigar shap-
ed, tapering from the middle to both
ends, and is constructed either of metal
or wood. The boat pictured in the en-
craving is formed of wooden slaves, sur
rounded by hoops and strengthened from
within by stout ribs. A large conical
block at each end of the boat is provid-
ed with passage or rope guideway,
whose ends are at right angles to each
other. A rope passes through these
guideways, extends through the whole
length Of the boat, and is attached to q
ship by the usual means Within the
body Of each conical block and inter
secting each rope guideway is recess
containing spring pressed block.
When the rope is removed, the block is
automatically forced down so as to pre-
vent the entrance of water Should it be
impossible to lower the boat in the or

HOW ALUMINIUM is MADE.
1t Is Now About as Cheap as Brass, Bulk
For Bulk.

For Bulk.
Aluminium is now made about as
cheap as brass, bulk for bulk, but not
pound for pound. for aluminium is very
light, its specific gravity being only
about one-third that of iron. Native
aluminium is found in clay and in q
state of silicate, as in felspar. 1t is
found i'll great quantities in southern
Georgia, mixed with red oxide of iron.
1t is the alumipa there which is the
oxide of aluminium. When separated
from other substances, alumina is a
white powder. Electricity is the chief
factorsin the production of metallic
aluminium. The powdered alumina is
placed in watts lined with carbon. The
description of the process is as follows:
Immediately over the vat is con-
structed metal framework, through
which are inserted large number of
carbon rods about Is or 20 inches long
and from 2 to "a inches in diameter.
This framework is insulated electrical
ly from the iron crucibles. The frame.
work and the carbons are connected
with the positive conductor of the cleo
trio current and the vat or crucible with
the negative.
These conductors are very large,
something like foot in width and an
inch in thickness, and made of some
good conductor of electricity. They
have to be very large, because they car
ry current equal to $3.50 horsepower.
The current is one of great volume, but
very low voltage, the electro motive
force at each vat OF crucible being only
about seven volts.
AS the process is electrolytic, and not
simply heating process, the direct
current must be used, and therefore
must be transformed twice-frst, to
bring it to a proper voltage, and, second
ly, to change it from an alternating to q
direct current. These iron watts or cruel
bles are connected up in series electric
ally, and then they are filled with the
alumina and certain other materials,
which act either as flux or as means
of increasing the conductivity CT the
mixture. just what this substance is is
probably one of the secrets Of the proc
with the mixture, the current is turned
on and kept on continuously night and
day seven days in the week. All of the
material in the different crucibles is
heated to redness when the process of
separation takes place. The oxygen Of
the alumina is thrown off as gas, and
other residuum floats to the top Of the
crucible and is skinned off.
Metallic aluminium in melted state
sinks to the bottom of the crucible,
where it is dipped out from time to
time with large iron ladies and poured
into sand and nodded into blocks similar
to that Of pig iron.
Aluminium is most useful as an alloy
with other metals 1t is being extern
sively used in many directions, and
would be vastly more used except that
up to date no satisfactory way has been
discovered to solder it. In different
compounds it is estimated that alumni
ium forms about one twelfth of the
crust of the earth.-Chicago Times
