A DOCTORS DISCOVERY.
Wood Pulp for Poultices and Surgical
Dressings.

Mr.. Frederick I. Gordon, hos
pital steward at the League Island
navy yard, has been for some time
conducting experiments on the use OF
wood pulp in surgery and he gives the
results Of his experiments in recent
number of the Medical Record. Wood
pulp is obtained in its crude form
from the manufacturers and comes in
sheets of any size and thickness. It's
cheap, easily obtained and possesses
valuable properties, When macer-
ated in water, it wells up and absorbs
from four to five times its weight Of
liquid, retaining it for long time.
AS the pulp becomes soft a poultlce
of any desired consistency can be
made by varying the quantity of the
water. BY using hot water the result
ing poultice will retain its heat and
moisture much longer than a similar
poultice made Of bread or tlaXseed. OF
course, antiseptic drugs soluble in wa
ter NAV be dissolved in the water in
which the pulp is TO be soaked, as the
pulpitselfis unaffected by most drugs.
When dry the pulp will absorb both
oils and fats, This is particularly
valuable, as It can be used as an emol'
lent and antiseptic substitute for
salyes, etc, on lint as surgical dress
ing. Wood pulp can be nodded when
moist, so that it can be used as splint,
owing TO the fact that it dries very
hard. When kept slightly wet with
an antiseptic solution, the pulp re-
mains soft and can be used as an alb
sorbent dressing. Crude wood pulp
can be sterilized by heating in an or
binary sterilizer. If the heat is in
creased so that the surface is charged
it will act as a deodorizipg dressing
Poultiaes of wood pulp are far supe'
rior to iiayseed, and being perfectly
stable do not deteriorate in any eli
mate, and owing to its small compass
n considerable supply can be carried
Should it become wet, il can be dried
in an ordinary stove, tits an idea,
material for the country practitioner
being always the same, insuring uni
form results. A sheet four feet square
costs only about ID or 20 cents,

portant achievement for one so young.
At this time, too, Edison was thinking
about his quadruplex system-a sys-
tenn of telegraphy by which four dis
tinct messages, two in each direction,
may pass simultaneously over single
wire. This, however, was not per-
iectcd till many years after.
The story Of Watt and his early en-
pcriments TO test the power of steam
is too hackneyed to quote. Every
body knows Of the scrapes which he
managed to get into for being idle;
how he kept taking the lid off the
kettle and putting it on again; how
he held teaspoon over the steam a.
it rose from the spout and counted the
drops as they fell.
But there are plenty of similar in
cidents as fresh as this is stale. Bru-
mel, for instance, of Thames tunnel
fame, invented, at the age of ~, a
nightcap-making machine which is
to-day used by the peasantry in little
village in Normandy where he first
saw the light. Again, Bewick in the
early days of his apprenticeship in
vented a graver with a fine grave at the
point that enabled himto cut outlines
in the wood at a single operation.
OF living boy inventors there arc
doubtless many. A boy of ten, in
Ohio, little while ago, fitted to his
bicycle an electric light apparatus, of
his own invention, the power of
which was obtained by the revolving
Of the wheels when riding. The light
was a good success, and when in work
ing order lighted up the whole of the
roadway.-London Tit-Bits.

BOYS AS INVENTORS.
Many a Useful Continuance Due to Youth
full Ingenuity.

1t is well-known fact that laziness
has been the means of supplying the
world with some Of its greatest inven-
tons, and many of them, too, by lazy
boys. Humphrey Potter, for in
stance, when a mere lad, was an at
tendant on Newcomers engine-a
sort of link between the steam pump
and the engine OF to-day-and his
duty was to open and close valve.
But Humphrey was an idle lad, and
he saw that he could save himself the
trouble of attending to his work by
fixing plug on part of the engine
that came to the place at the proper
time by the general movements. He
accordingly did so, and by hi: ingenu-
ity thus made the important inyen-
ton in Newcomers engine known as
the "hand-gear."
Humphrey Potter did nothing else
worthy of note; but Thomas Edison,
who invented contrivance similar
in one respect to his, has followed up
bis success.
When the great American inventor
was a boy, he was engaged as a teleg-
raphist at Shotford, in Canada. He
was a night OPERATOR and had to re-
port "six" every half-hour to the cir
cult manager. The object of this rule
was TO prevent an operator sleeping
while on duty. But Edison fitted up
a wheel with Morse characters cut in
the circumference in such a way that,
when turned by a crank, it would
write the figure six and sign his office
CALL. BY a little bribery young Thorn
as managed to get the Waterman to
undertake to turn this wheel, and the
youthful telegraphist slept with safe
ty. Again at Shotford he tried an ex-
pertinent. which showed his inventive
powers. In the rear OF the Office where
he worked was II large sink filled with
beetles that could not be extermi-
mated. One day Edison fixed a few
wires to an electrical machine, placed
the free end of them into he'sInk,
and turned on the current. In a few
moment all that was left OF those
beetles was-ashes.
A little later, at the age OF ~, the
famous inventor worked at lndianap-
oils, where he completed his frat sue
cessful telegraph instrument. II was
an automatic repeater an instrument
which transferred the writing from
one telegraph line TO another with

was Immediately recognized as an i'm.

 MT. Maier's prOgTessiveness led him tc combat the competition that came from the east and established a big packing establishment here. He set the pace for the others and the result was the usual one. It is said that the rival packing houses offered to patch up truce with Maier, but it could not be made, and the competition went cu. to the advantage of consumers, but to the ruin of Maier.-I-2s Angeles Record.

But he is never so deeply interested that he misses other papers as they are left behind, and unless there are tco many of his competitors on the spot he usually gets three or four papers every morning. .
 The clerk said that the sane class of customers may be found in every hotel These men are good representative Of the class which is willing to p2y $1 to get something that is worth 50 cents for nothing.
 These men are known to tfe hall boys and other hotel employees a3 newspaper grabbers."

DIR. E. D. EBRIGHT,
PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON.
j WELLINGTON. KANSAS.

The exact origin of the practice Of
medicine is obscure, but 1t is certainly
c0incident with the existence Of the
human race. for even in the most
primitive ages there is recognition Of
the healing virtues Of different foods,
roots and herbs. "Hippocrates," who
lived about four hundred years B. c., is
known as the Father of Physics" and
from his teaching has developed what
is today the regular schools Of medi-
cine. Through all the ages we find the
members Of the profession Of medicine
the objects of regard by the people, be-
ing respected for their learning, devo-
lion to their calling, and their unceas-
ing toll in the advancement Of the art
Of healing.
Leaving the general field, we would
direct the attention of our readers to
the career of DR.. E. D. Ebright, Of
wellington, the subject of our sketch.
The doctor was born in Ohio, but hav-
ing lived twenty years in Marion coun-
ty he has been virtually brought up in
Kansas. After receiving his primary
education in the early schools, he en-
! tered the Southwestern Kansas college
at Winfield in 1889 and finished in 1892.
Shortly afterwards DR.. Ebright went
to Kansas City and took up the study
Of medicine at the Kansas City Medi-
cal college. from which institution he
was graduated in 1895. He began the
practice Of his profession at Marion,
where he remained one year. during
which time ne held the office Of county
coroner. His next move was to our
city Of Wellington where he has been
in continuous prac ice ever since. The
doctor has ever had the interests Of his
profession at heart He does a general
practice. but if there be one branch Of
he profession to which ne devotes sDe-
cial attention it is that Of surgical dis
eases. AS a practitioner he is pains
taking, thorough and skillful, and che
study which he devotes to each indi-
vidual patient contributes largely to his
success. Since locating in Wellington
DR.. Ebright's practice has been stead
