MODERN DENTISTRY
Artistic and Intricate Gold Filings
 Thing of the Past.


 Thing of the Past.
 "The modern dentist need not be nearly as skilled a workman as his father was" said one of the craft yes terday, as he merrily knitted up q foot or twoSof nerve with his little crochet Eeal antiFely disregarding his patients
 You see. there are no beat-
 and artistic gold filings put in | days. As soon as a tooth gives an opportunity for showing skill in fiii- ing, presto! it is cut off and crowned or bridged with gold A gold tooth is considered not unbeautifuI, it seems but nowadays porcelain filings are preferred to metal ones for conspieu- ous places. The porcelain comes in a powder, an impression of the cavity is taken, the filling made baked hard. in serted, and secured by the cement with which the cavity has first been padded. As all shades Of porcelain are to be had to match the different tints of teeth, these filings are quite ineonspieaoHs. There are Q few people still who don't .AAA 2tiOts HIS to94N 4i41iO VI llCAl tAhSJ open their mouths, and among these are colored people, who seem to think they gain certain amount of distinc- tion from such a display. Among the most curious requests that I have had in regard to work was one from an &C., tress to extend cavity she had in a front tooth so that it would form 3 J, and fill it with gold. She explained that she was going to marry man named John, and that she thought it would be perfectly lovely to have his initial in evidence whenever she talk ed. finally dissQaded her from this original project by pointing out that it might be embarrassing in later years, if she should chance to marry a man named Thomas or Richard She eyi dently saw the good sense of ny re- marks, but she relinquished her re- markable idea reluctantly. Women generally very sensibly want to make the fact that they have had to resort to art to preserve their teeth as imper- eeptible as possible, so. as said be- fore, there's no really beautiful work done at present in the way of intricate filings, and that's fact Baltimore News.

Forgot Ills Native Tongue.

Andrew Lawson, a Norwegian cooper was struck on the head by a falling block while at work on one of the piers Of the Atlantic Transport company, New York city. on Sept 5, 1S98 He lay like one dead in St. Vincents hos. pital for two months. His life was despaired of, but finally he rallied and regained part Of his lost strength. Lawson is in normal condition in every sense, with the exception that he has forgotten all about his former life and companions, and has no remem- brance of his native tongue. Try as he will he cannot converse in the lan- guage that he learned in Norway. His wife is instrucing him as she does their four-year-oId boy. Lawson speaks the English language only imperfectly. The case has attracted the attention ot scientists and specialists.

How the System Of Signaling Now in
 Use in South Africa Is Operated
 Heliographing is sun writing By the use of the heliograPh the suns rays are flashed over long distances. The letters of the Morse telegraphfc code are used and communication IS comparatively easy on bright days. The instrument that is now used to transmit heliograph messages is ex- ceedingly simple. It consists of 6 tripod carrying a horizontal rod at the top. On this rod is a mirror on one end and on the other a small upright rod with movable button. This mir TOT is usually four and 8 half inches in diameter, and is so arranged that it can be rotated both on horizontal and on vertical axis. In the middle Is a small unsilYered spot The mir TOT is sighted by means of this unsil- vered spot and the button on the rod in front. exactly as a rifle would be aimed. If the button is raised so as to cover the destination of the mes sage, which can be found by compass II II Ed11loL Ut o6t1ts dHd tilt 6tiddOW thrown by the unsilyered spot in the middle of the reflection covers the but ton, the instrument is in position. There is contriyance by which the shutter is operated, opening and clos ing over the mirror by means of a key, which is pressed like the key of a telegraph instrument A long flash stands for a dash, a short one for dot in the Morse system. The greatest distance ever overcome by the helio- graph was that operated over by the United States signal corps between Mount Uncompahgre, in Colorado, and Mount Ellen in Utah. This was 1S3 miles The flashes came and went as regularly as though the distance had been much shorter r.-Indianapolis

Mendlcant students.

Concerning the poorer students of Russia the Saturday Review says: Their mendacity is passive rather than active. Unlike the mendicant friars, they never ask, but they know much will be given them They know, too strange fact in a strange country-that the university is open to all, irrespec- tive of means or position. Thus the university becomes the poor Russians golden opportunity, for here, as else where, there are many posts, for which graduates alone are eligible. A stroll through the streets of Moscow during term time furnishes abundant evidence of the popularity of the university. The uneempromislng military blue ana green uniform which stamps the stu- dent, and which he can never, save under dire penalties, exchange for plain clothes, is to be met with at every turn. A few rich students are caught sight of driving; the many are on foot

cAmpHoR GROWING IN NFLoRIDA
Much of the Gum in the States Comes
 From the Everglades.

From the GYerE Etadess
 Florida is in a fair way to become the rival in camphor production Of China, Japan and Formosa. Hereto fore the world has derived it's supplies of that gum from the countries named, but of the vast camphor forests that once existed in these regions but 8 small portion remains This is the direct result of the wanton waste in the process #practtced for obtaining the gum from the tree. Camphor is usual ly obtained by boiling the chips of the wood and roots and bark in great ket- ties with water and eondensing the vo- IatiIized gum on rHshes suspended over the kettles. In this process the entire tree is cut down and even the roots dug up, but in Florida it was found that the gum could be commercially pro- duced from the leaves and tWigs, sey- enty-seven pounds of which yield one pound of gum Hence the bearing tree need not be disturbed or injured in any way, as the foliage it bears is very dense and may be thinned down one | The tree, besides, bears a very great amount of pruning without injury It is an evergreen, and makes three growths a year-in April, June and De- tober The tree removes nothing from the soil, the gum being formed entire ly from the gases of the atmosphere and hence the leaves, when deprived of their camphor and returned to the soil, constantly enrich the soil, which in time requires no fertilizing what ever Aside from it's commercial uses the camphor tree is one of the most ornamental ever cultivated. tts beaQtt> ful shape being eqaaled by the arbor. vitae only.

BATHING IN ELECTRO LIGHT
Painful Ailments Quickly Banished b.
 the Heat Rays.

Painful Ailments Quickly Hanished by
 the Heat Rays.
 It has been found that there are many painful ailments which, when acted upon by electric heat and light rays are completely banishea from the sufferers body, says =Pearson's Maga= zine. Strong electric light is thrown i onto the seat of suffering; the patient basks in bath of light and heat, ex- periencing nothing but pleasant sensa- tions and. in most cases, an immediate and comforting sense of relief from pain Men and women who for years have lost control of their limbs and who have nnavailingly tried every known cure. have arisen after a course of eleetrie-heat baths and walked with perfect freedom. The apparatus which enables patients to bathe in electric light is extremely simple. To an ad unstable stand are fitted two large cop per or nickel-plated reflectors, which can be moved in any direction. + a patient is lying in bed refeetors are placed on either side, adjusted to the exact position for locating the rays where desired. On the refiecting sur faces are the electric lamps which ra- dfate the luminous heat rays The heat may be regulated by varying the dis tance of the refecters, or the number of lamps, or by means of a special regulator which controls the electric current. Those parts of the body, such as the armpits or shoulders, which it would be impossible to treat locally with other arrangements, are easily dealt with by the new system. When the patient is in the right position and is comfortably settled Che may be fully clothed, or covered with blankets. without affecting the power of the raysl, the current is turned on and heat and light of considerable intensity are immediately produced In few moments the thermometer will register 800 degrees Fahrenheit. I have seen patients chatting eheerfully and ex- periencing no inconvenience, while an affected limb has been exposed to heat rays at a temperature of foo degrees Fahrenheit. It might be supposed that such a heat as this would roast a limb. Undoubtedly there would be evil re- suits were 1t not for ths important fact that dry heat is employed, which eyaporates precipitation as soon as 1t appears on the body.
