FISH THAT FISHES
He Lies on the Bottom of the Sea,
g Waiting Motionless for the APP
prOach Of His Prey.

Most remarkable of strange fishes is
the angler fish, whose very name seems
a paradox. The fishing fish is never
theless a reality, and stern one to
all that approach those awful jaws CT
his. With a body the color of mud he
generally lies in the shadow of some
rock on the bottom of the sea, waiting
motionless for the approach of his
prey. He is provided with an odd
kind of fin just over the mouth, and
this is held out in front of him to give
warning of the coming of something
to be swallowed. One taken alive was
experimental on and it was found
that if this projecting fin was touched
with a stick, even though the stick did
not come near the mouth, the jaws
closed convulsively. This shows that
the fin by some provision of nature
closes the jaws as soon as it is
touched. The mouth is tremendous,
growing to the width of foot when
the whole fish is only three feet long.
One of these anglers was caught not
long since and though it was only rs
inches long, fish IS inches long was
found sticking in it's throat. The
angler is provided with peculiar teeth

RICHNESS OF THE NOSE.
The Disc0lOration IL Very FREQUENT.
ly Caused by the Wearing of
Wells in Cold weather.

Rosenbach (Berliner klinische Woch-
enshrift). calls attention to the. devel-
ment of abnormal redness of the nose
in consequence of the wearing of a veil
in winter. The discoloration is most
pronounced at those points where the
veil is most intimately applied to the
face. The effect is partly due to the me-
chanical action of the sharp and rough
texture upon a sensitive skin, and to
the influence of the watery vapor that
collects within its meshes and pre-
vents evaporation. Blood is thus driven
from the tip of the nose to adjacent
parts, whose blood vessels in conse-
quence become enlarged and conspicu-
Gus. The condition is exaggerated if
the use of the veil is persisted in Oh
passing from cold to a warm atmos-
phere. The alterations tend to become
permanent the longer the veil is worn
without airing, the longer its injurious
action is maintained by compression,
the colder the season, and the greater
the exposure. Sometimes the cheeks
are also affected similarly. The treat
ment of the condition consists in dis
carding the veil, avoiding for time
sharp winds and great cold, and, when
exposure to cold air is unavoidable, sud-
den changes from a cold to warmer
temperature. Gentle massage should
be practiced, and applications of a thin
layer of lanolin, vaseline or cold cream
may be made, followed by that of some
simple powder such MS tale or chalk.
When the use of veil is necessary, it
should not extend below the nasal ORR
fees, so as to permit the escape of wa
terry vapor. Further, it should not be
too heavy, nor should it be too,tight.

MRS. EICKsENs WOVEN BANDAGm
of strong, heavy wool, or in some cases
of heavy flax cord.
Mrs. Eicksen regards her invention
not only as a benefit to the injured, but
is also trying to introduce the knitting
OF these bandages as new occupation
for women, especially for the blind or
decrepit, who cannot engage in more
active pursuits. She has not patented
her bandage, but is now travelling all
through Germany teaching every one
who wishes to learn how to knit the
bandages properly. There is special
stitch required so as to make them both
strong and elastic, and the value of the
invention is being more and more ap-
preciated daily. The inventor suggests
that her bandages will also prove serv-
icable as strengtheners of the wrists
for tennis players, as well as belts for
mountain climbers, being light and
strong, and far better than the stiff
leather belts usually worn. For bicycle
riders, too, who wish to have free use
of their bodies, and at the same time
not look "dowdy," she suggests waists
woven in this way. The bandage has
been used with great success by Ger
man physicians in cases of broken arms
and legs, of men, women and children
and even of animals, for which it is not
ably difficult to find a good splint that
will stay in place. This bandage stays
exactly where it is put, and this is one
of it's great advantages. 1t might be a
good idea for some American woman
who is in Germany to take few lessons
in this bandage-knitting, that she
might teach it over here. ..

VElgTI(1N.'


The latest invention tending to di-
minish the suffering Of humanity is
that Of Mrs. Therese Eicksen, a German
Of considerable energy and ingenuity.
It is nothing more or less than woven
bandage for the use of those who have
broken or srrained limb. It is APP
proved by many physicians because it
conforms SO perfectly to the shape Of
the limb, supporting it at all points and
at the same time is not so stiff as tia
usual splints or wrapped bandages. III
addition, its meshes permit the free
circulation of the air, and in this way
contributes to the speedy healing of
the injured member. The support at
forded by this naturally elastic band
age is such that it obviates the neces-
sity of remaining in bed with some in
iuries which were thought heretofore
to require such confinement. It. made

first, then hydrogen, then magnesium,

have first breakfast, with the empress, con-
sisting of tea and bread and butter. At eight

among other things, thoroughly grounded
in foreign languages, particularly French.
