BLUE LIGHT AIDS SURGEONS,
Co1ored Rays of Electric Globes Found of Great Value in Their
 Operations.


 A St. Petersburg physician has ex- perimented with blue electric light, which showed noticeable results in many phases of diseases and surpassed the efficacy of the white electric light usually employed heretofore.
 The journal, Prof. Mendelschn's Care of Patients, of Berlin, states that 1t is possible through the use of blue electric light to make operations pain- less without resorting to other anaes- thetics. Burns of the skin, and espe- cially of the mucous membrane, are said to have not only been rendered painless but healed also more rapidly.
 The value of this treatment beco.res s important from the fact that it ean easily be employed where it is difficult to use other therapeutic remedies on account of location. as in the threat or deeper down in the alimentary ca- nal.
 It is also to be noted that the use of the blue electric light contributes much in lessening the pains caused by cancerous growth in marked degree. and is said rapidly to effecta complete cure of lupus, this very severe disease of the skin which frequently resists every other method of treatment.

FENCE TO KEEP IN RAIN.
It Is Suggested That One 300 Feet High Would Act as Do Moun-
 tain Masses.


 It is matter of common knowledge that in hilly situations the rainfall is much above the average, and that a town may be so situated with regard to neighboring elevations that it will re- ceive two or three times the amount of rain in year that falls on place only q few miles distant, says Cham bers' Journal.
 A case is quoted in one of Prof. Tyn- dall's lectures, where the rainfall of one Irish town amounts to 59 inches. and of another to only 21 inches, the difference being due to the action of the Kerry mountains in forcing the moist winds up suddenly to a higher level, where they meet with the cold necessary to precipitate their moisture as rain.
 Rollo Russell has suggested that we might control the rainfall artificially by the erection of immense walls, ex- tending for some six or seven miles in length, and from 300 to 400 feet high. Such walls would act as natural hills in diverting the path of the moisture laden air, and the clouds would be forced to yield their treasures.
