DUEL OF BIRD AND FISH.
KipRflsker Attacks a Dig Pickerel
and fn the Struggle Bird and
Fish Both Die.

back of Lackawanna, once" said War
rem K. Ridgway, ex-sheriff, ex-treas-
urer. and ex-county clerk Of Pike coun-
ty, Pa, according to the New York
Sun. "While l was waiting for bite
a kingfisher dropped down on a branch
of dead tree that stood on the edge
OF the pond, not more than five rods
from where l was sitting in my boat

watch for a chance TO get its dinner
l quit fishing and kept my eyes on the
kingfsher, anxious TO see 1t dive Tor us

fore a fish came within line of the
birds vision. The bird dropped into
the water like stone and disappeared
beneath the surface.

rowed TO the spot where it had gone
down to find an explanation OF its ex-
traordinary disappearance.
"a dead pickerel about eight inches
long. was floating on the surface. a
hole through the body showed plainly
enough that this pickerel was the one
the kingfsher had speared.
l drifted about the spot some time
and then something came to the sur

the great jaws Of the pickerel The
pickereTs long teeth were set through
and through the leg. The hngfisher's
spearlike bill ran clear through the
pickerel's body from side to side, afew
inches below the gills.
''The situation explained itself to
my satisfaction, but my amazement
was none the less. The pickerel had
seized the hngfsher by the leg as the
bird was rising from the water with
the small fish, and pulled II back into
the water, expecting, Of course, to dine
upon kingfsher.
"Thc bird had instinctively turned
and jabbcd its sharp beak through the
pickerel, inhictinR mortal wound.

ADMINISTERING CHLOROFORM.
Certain WeakneeseE OF the Heart
Make 1t Necessary to Exercise
Great Caution.

Two kinds of accidents happen from
the administration Of chloroform.
One. from prolonging the use OF the
drug too far and occurring after tn pa
tient is altogether insensible, Is rather
uncommon. The more numerous class
of cases occur during the prelim-
mary stages of anaesthesia. VI the
two these are the more perplexing, not
to say startling. 1t is customary WheC
a surgeon is considering the advisable
ity OF operating on person to consld-
err the condition of the latter's heart.
Certain weaknesses there are liable to
make mischief when chloroform Is
given. Under these circumstances 1t is
usual to employ ether instead or rely
on local instead of general insensibil-
ity. Just why the heart behaves as 1t
does it not yet fully known. Some
new light is thrown on the problem,
though, by the researches of DIR. En-
bley, of the Melbourne hospital, which
are reported at length in the British
Medical Journal.
According to this expert chloro-
ways at once, at least in the beginning.
There is partial paralysis Of the
heart muscle, in consequence of which
the blood pressure falls off, and occa-
sionally there is a cessation of breath
ing. simultaneously what is known as
the vagus nerve, which controls the
heart, lungs and other organs, expert
ences temporary excitement or lr-
ritability. This state of things, in
stead of stimulating, depresses the
heart, as long as it lasts. The second
effect is usually not lasting, though,
and gradually passes off. Only one in
fluence then operates.
The great lesson which Dr. Embley
draws from these discoveries is that
great caution should be shown at the
commencement. He thinks that only
one per cent. Tor less) of the vapor
breathed by the patient at the outset
should come from the chloroform, and
that the rest should be air. Others
have repeatedly pointed out the ex-
pediency Of beginning slowly, but he
shows why such proceeding is neces-
sary.
Commenting on these revelations,
the London Hospital says: "Anaes-
tbetists have shown themselves Curl
ously obstinate and retentive of ira
ditional methods; but it seems very
clear that, if DR.. Embley's experiments
upon dogs are to be taken as indicat-
ing the course of events in human be-
ings, it will become our duty to throw
aside all preconceived IDEAS as to the
safety of towels, masks, drop bottles,
and all such rough and ready meth
DDS of producing chloroform vapor.
and appeal to the mechanicians to sup
ply us with an apparatus for use dur
ing the early stages of anaesthesia
which shall by positive measurement
and with unerring exactitude supply

containing not more than one per cent.

such an apparatus exists at the pres

THE FRIAR PROBLEM.
English Opinion of American Policy
Toward Orders in Philippines.

From the London Spectator.
The Vatican has not succeeded in its ne
gotiatons with Washington about the Phil
ippines. The friars Of the great orders,
who have large property there, are detest-
ed by the Filipinos, and the American gov
ernment were anxious that they should be
withdrawn. They offered extravagantly
liberal terms. and it seemed at first as il
they would be accepted, but a committee
of cardinals appointed to examine the af-
fair contained majority of friars, and the
clause p!edging the papacy to their with
drawal was rejected as implying a slur
upon the orders. The American commits
sioner Mr.. Taft. was Immediately with
drawn. and 1t is believed that the Ameri-
can government will act without further
consideration for Roman feeling. The
friars in fact will be deported as danger
Gus to the restoration of order in the is
lands and will receive only the bare value
of their property.
The belief in the Vatican is that the
friars have right under the treaty of
Paris to pursue their occupation but 1t
is most unlikely that Senior Sagasta, who
Is pledged to restrain the orders at home,
will engage in diplomatic quarrel for their
sake. while in America itself ii is held as
dogma that every church in American
possession must be finally disestablished.
The only feeling in favor Of the orders will
be as to their compensation.

Naval Officials Much ENCOURAGED bv
Recent Results.

The navy people hope to offset the recent
development in high explosives and armor
piercing projectiles by the army through a
considerable Improvement in the resisting
power of the armor plating of a battle
ship. Lieut. Cleland Davis, attached to
the naval ordnance bureau, has produced
an armor platt which recently was tested
at the proving 3. ounds at Bethlehem, and
the results encourage the naval officials
here to believe that the armor plate has
again overtaken the gun IN the reverend
ing struggle for supremacy This plate is
obtained by a novel process, carbon being
driven directly into the surface of the hot
plate by an intensely powerful current of
electricity, the result being a face as hard
as glass and Of any thickness desired, sup
ported by tough back which, it is claimed
cannot be cracked. The depth of the hard
ening is regulated by the length of time
the current plays upon the plate. 1t is
claimed that an average plate can be COM
pletely treated electrically in five hours
Moreover. the plate is claimed to be third
lighter for the same resisting power which
means great saving to constructors.
