The RED Light Treatment.

The interest lately excited in England
in what is known as the ''red-light
treatment" of smallpox, wherein the
patient is confined in room into
which only red light is admitted, calls
attention to the remarkable way in
which modern science seems to rsvive
and reform empirical methods CT the
past. Even so far back as the xeign
of Edward ". smallpox patients were
treated by wrapping them in rec COW
ers and putting red balls in the 3en.
1t was thus that John Gaddesden tr eat
ed prince of Wales. This method Las
also been noticed as popular custom
in Roumania. In recent years. toe, a
French surgeon has told of smallpox
patients in Tonquin being isolated in
alcoves almost darkened by red carpet
hangings, and of wonderful cures en-
suing. In Japan the patients were COW
cred by red blankets, and the children
given red toys to play with.

MIXING OF CONCRETE.
New idea, Put in Practice by GOV
eminent Engineers, Upsets Some
Cherished Traditions.

Concrete consists of SO many parts
of Portland cement, so many of
sharp sand and so many of broken
stone. The proportions vary consid-
erably, according to the particular
service required. Until within few
years, though, it has been thought
that the pieces of stone should not
only be nearly uniform in size, but
should not have a diameter of less
than an inch and a half or two
inches. Of late it has been conceded
that a considerable variety in size ia
preferable, and gives a better cen
crete. Still, it has generally been
supposed that a certain amount of
screening or washing was desirable,
to remove the fine dust. 1t was
hardly deemed safe to take the stone
exactly as it came from the crusher,
though it would save a good deal of
trouble if one could do so. One dan
ger was that the dust would add I'M
duly to the proportion of the sand
in the compound, but it was feared
that a distinctly detrimental effect
would be produced.
Some surprise will be created,
therefore, by the announcement that
the United States engineers engaged
in building new breakwater at Buff.
fa1o harbor have been making ex-
tensive use of concrete in which the
stone was taken right from the
crusher. The official in charge de-
clares that che believes it is the best
practice, and that engineers have for
years been discarding from their con-
crete the hest and most val11a bIe
parts of the broken stone"
Commenting on this statement, the
Engineering News says: ''The con-
c1usion, if it be generally true, is an
important one, since it means a saw
ing in screening and washing, which
in large works form an important
item of the cost. It also means, if we
are not mistaken, that more care
full inspection of the work of proper
tioning the concrete is necessary"

edge of a receiving vessel. There is
also plug to fit in the spout of the
kettle, thus affording but one exit for
the steam, namely, through the pipe
and into the pail, 1t is obvious that in
passing through this pipe the steam
will condense and form in drops on the
inner surface of the pipe and pail, fall
ing thence to the bottom of the lat
ter. To disengage the condenser from
the kettle it is only necessary to turn
the clamps and detach the connecting
rod, but the inventor states that the
connection between the vessels is rigid
enough to permit water to be poured
from the kettle without interfering
with the receiver. The inventor of
this apparatus is Emma Jester, of Pu-
