NEW WAY TO CLOSE WOUNDS.
An Invention That Causes No Pain
and Performs the work
ExpeditiOuaIy,

A novel and most useful instrument
has been invented by DR.. Paul Michel,
a well-known French physician. With
1t wounds on a body can be stitched
effectively, quickly and without caus-
ing any pain to the patient. Hereto
fore wounds were stitched by hand,
and this operation was not only some
what dangerous and slow, but also de-
cidedly painful, says the St. Louis Re
public.
The new instrument consists of q
forceps or pinchers, and of case or
sheath, which contains a number of
nickel hooks or bands somewhat SINH
lar to those which are frequently seen
on the corners of cardboard boxes. A
slight pressure suffices to free these
hooks from the sheath, and within one
minute between 20 and 30 Of them
san be placed on a wound in such a
manner that they will effectively close
1t. The reason why they cause no
pain is because their tiny rounded
points only penetrate the epidermis.
and not the lower layer of skin. Other
advantages which they possess are
that they can be easily disinfected.
that it is no trouble to remove them
from the skin after the wound is
healed, and that they leave hardly any
trace of scar.
DR.. Michel has received congratula-
tions from the most distinguished
European physicians, and his instru-
ment is being rapidly introduced into
leading hospitals.

containing the results of observations
on a monkey which was carefully

of the greater part Of the gray matter
of the middle and interior portions
of the left hemisphere of the brain.
The character of the animal, whose
little tricks and peculiarities had been
studied for months before the opera

traits remained unaltered. On the
other hand, disturbances Of move

Americans are always adopting the

TRANSPARENT MIRRORS.
Exceedingly Curious and Interesting
Optical Eject of the New
s'PIatiniHed Glass;

Mirrors that one can see through
are a new invention already coming
into use. They are of so-called "platin-
ized glass;" being backed with a COM
pound made of 95 per cent. silver and
five per cent. platinum, and, optically
speaking, they are exceedingly curious
and interesting. Looking into a glass
Of this kind, one finds frst-rate re-
fection; it is a mirror and nothing
more. At the same time, person on
the other side can see directly through
it, says the Saturday Evening Post.
For example, a glass of this sort
placed in front of the prescription
desk in an apothecary shop perfectly
conceals the prescription clerk and his
apparatus. Thus the privacy of that
department is secured, while on his
part the clerk is able to survey the
shop and see everybody who comes in
Just as IL the mirror were ordinary
glass. 1t is transparent to him, but is
like any common mirror from the
viewpoint of people in front. It is
easily seen that glass of this kind is
likely to be useful for a good many
purposes. 1t can be put in the doors
of dark bathrooms, or of any other
rooms where privacy is desirable and
light is wanted. Anybody who has OBJ
served his own reflection in the plate-
glass windows of shops will under
stand the principle well enough. The
effect is merely enhanced by an ex-
tremely thin coat Of the platinum sill
YER, which allows light to pass
through, and yet furnishes an excel
lent lookng-glass. The process con-
hsts in pouring over plate-glass nitrate
of silver and platinum, and then ap-
plying Rochelle salts.

Prof. Arlini, of Naples, has just per-
formed a remarkable feat. Some time
ago he offered to make a bet that he
could recite the whole of Dante's
"Divine Comedy" by heart. His abil-
ity to do this was doubted, and his
wager was taken up. A select au-
dienoe was invited to hear the pro-
fessor, who detained from eight
o'clock in the evening until two
o'clock the next afternoon. The re-
citer stopped occasionally, but it was
not because he had forgotten the
poem; 1t was simply to moisten his
tongue with sugared water. He won
his wager, for the audience had to
confess that he got through the 900
verses, more or less, of which the
poem is composed, without the least
difficulty.
