TO STOP BLEEDING.
Electricity Now Declared to BE the
Most Emcnciou. Measure
Employed.

The arresting of bleeding in surgical
operations has always been one of the
difficulties in certain cases, and the cleo
trio current has been used before this
with view to bringing about that con-
dition of heat which is necessary in or
der to cause the blood to clot and so
act as block to the mouth of bleeding
vessels, arrcsting hcmorrhage.
This, indeed, has resulted in the utili
Zatlon OF the electric cautery, as it is
called, III certain operations, the plat
mum wire At Il red or almost white heat
even supplanting the knife, because it
burns through the tissues and at the
same time prevents the'wound bleeding
10 any great extent. This effect of
heat was, indeed, known to our ances-
tors, who used red-hot irons or boiling
pltch to scar the surface of the flesh
after their operations, thus causing an
immense amount of suffering to the pa
tlent, before the days of chloroform.
a new adaptation of this use of cleo
tricity for the purpose of stopping
bleeding has been devised by inclos-
ing platinum wire in pair of forceps
or other instrument, the wire being in
sulated in bed of burnt pipe clay, and
as soon as the bleeding vessel is seized
by the forceps and compressed in the
ordinary way an electric current is
turned on, whose effect is so great that
the tissues and the walls of the blood
vessels are all agglutinated, so that the
blood is no longer able to pass. o..

WOOD EMITS SWEET TONES.
South American Tree from Which
the Natives Make In
struments.

Chicagoan recently returned from
n protractsd visit to South America
relates that the Indians in Ecuador,
Peru and Bolivia make an excellent mu-
*Ical instrument out of the wood of
TIC hor;i'I"ui.la. a. tree that grows abun-
"an;!y n those countries. The instru-
...r"i is cH the principle Of the we'll
i;cWn Xy!ophonc, only that under
"&IrI each piece they construct n
.'H"dinG box Of the same wood, varying
III size 10 the note to be augmented
'.nd sustained. Some of these instru-
:hGn;s arc mounted OH stands and have
us many as As tones. These large in
3trumcnts are played by four and five
operators. The tones are quite unlike
those of the xylophone, as they are not
short and sharp, but are sustained by
the sounding boxes, so that at q short
distance they give the impression more
of an organ than even piano, Expert
operators play opera pieces and the
latest music upon the large instruments
with most remarkable effect. This in
strumcnt is said to be very old one,
tradition dating it back to the days
Of the meas, being one Of the few
remaining evidences of the old prehis-
toric civilizations. A party of Peru
VANS lately Travelled through Mexico
with one Of these large instruments and
created quite n sensation among the
music-loving Mexicans. .u
