Immediate Morphinlsm Cure,

''''SA'osV VIOI SSIH'oIu SOISs
In the Medical Record for April 10,
DR.. Margaret B. Halleck of the New
York State Reformatory for Women
reports four cases of successful treat
ment of the morphine habit by sudden
ly and completely stopping the supply
of the drug, and administering strych-
nine sulphate, hyoscine hydrobromate
and codeine sulphate.
Summing up the result of her treat.
ment, DR.. Halleck says: "Strychnine,
hyoscine and codeine certainly form a
perfect antidotal combination and one
which works quickly. Morphine, as
we know, depresses the nervous sys-
TEN, reduces metabolism, hinders the
action of the liver, finally paralyzes
the vaso-motor centers, and lessons all
secretions. Strychnlne, on the other
hand, stimulates all functions, in
creases the appetite and while doing
this it is eliminating the morphine
Nausea, restlessness, insomnia and
pain are cared for by the hyoscine
and codeine. It seems reasonable that
this combination should cure in time,
but the celebrity of cure, with no SUI
fering to speak of, and the very small
amount of medicine used, is certainly
remarkable. These cases may relapse,
but it will not be because they are
unable to fight the habit"

ending in a spring buffer at the high

it's power for damage. A double-ended
buffer has also been designed, having
the same principle, but serving to re-
ceive the rear car of the train on one
side as the engine of the train in the
rear rolls up the track on the oppo-
site side. The buffer car itself is CIV

Transporting Power.

Transporting Power.
A Scottish power scheme of great
interest, which has been recently ap-
proved by the British Parliament, will
soon be under way. Instead of trans
porting fuel over railroads by the aid
of locomotives consuming large guam
titles of coal, it has been suggested
that the power be generated at the
mine and carried over wires instead of
rails. This proposition is a parallel
to the generally acknowledged view
that it is cheaper to transport the
finished product than raw material.
1t is proposed to generate electricity
in the vicinity of the coal mines, and
to transmit it to the city of Glasgow,
and industrial establishments along
the Clyde in the neighborhood of that
city. Three generating plants will be
established, located at Yoker, Mother.
we'll and Crookston, and the ultimate
capacity of this trio will be $4,000
horse power. The two first men,
toned will be built at once, but the
initial installation will be only about
half of the total contemplated.

A DoubIe-Faced Dance:

To be very queer, indeed, this

Gun on the Animal Trap,

If the small boy don't steal or Dor
row this new mouse trap to celebrate
the Fourth of July with, we shall be
very much mistaken, for he can make
just about as much noise and run just
as much risk of blowing off a hand
or putting out an eye with this trap
as he can with the toy cannon de-
signed especially for the above form
of celebration. When used as a
toy the boy will insert the cartridges,
pull back the firing pin inside the
coiled spring at the rear Of the "gun''
until it hooks over the trigger at the
rear, bend the rod forward and secure
it beneath the wire bale to set the
trigger. Then he will place his finger
on the fitting platform, either in front
of tho gun or at one side, as suits his
fancy, and give a slight downward
pressure to release the trigger and
allow the spring to drive the rod for:

Engraving Glass With Geiatine,

. A singular property of gelatine.
when spread upon glass, has lately
been experimental with by the French
chemist, Cailletet. When a thick layer
of strong glue, that has been allowed
to dry upon a glass surface, is de
tached, it carries off scales of glass
and leaves designs resembling those
OF frost on a window pane. Polished
marble and quartz are similarly at
tackled. With glue containing 6 per
cent of alum, Monsieur Cailletet pro-
duced five designs, resembling moss in
texture. Hyposulphite OF soda and
nitrate of chlorate Of potash, added to
the glue, produce analogous effects.
The glue while drying exerts a power

A Way to Make Money.


When you boys and girls were ba-
Dies and knew no better you used to
pull every one of your toys to pieces.
No matter how pretty or how expen-
slVe they were to pieces they would
come. And probably mother and faith
er, after trying to break you of this
bad habit, made up their minds that
you were genius, and wanted to find
out how all your different toys were
made.
How many of you could put the
pieces back in place? Not many. I'll
warrant.
But now, that you are older, it is
easy to replace the loose parts of toys
and other articles.
Why not make this a. little business
and earn some money by it? There
are many homes where broken things
accumulate for years., ~ sometimes
never being mended

accurate eyes, this is a good sugges-
ton for. you to follow.
small bottle of glue, if you have
enough money. If not, mother or faith
er or uncle will perhaps lend you the
money for an investment.
Armed with these weapons, visit the
neighbors and offer to mend china,
crockery and bric-a-brac. Practice at
home first if you can and be sure your
pieces are in the right places.
AS you become expert, you will find
that you need plaster of paris, putty, a
small box of paints and some varnish.
The plaster and putty are to fill up
chinks where pieces are missing; the
paint to color them, and the varnish
to finish off if. necessary
Try this little plan and see what a
success you can make Of it with the
help of the three p's-pluck, patience
and perseverance.

Bit for RESTRAINING Horses,

Until the day arrives when the
automobile has displaced the horse
completely there will continue to be
reported accidents caused by fright
ened animals running away and up
setting carriages, with more or less
serious damage to the occupants. A
restraining bit designed by three Kan
sas men provides a means by which
leverage on the jaw can be obtained
whenever the animal takes fright and
starts to run. Instead of attaching
the reins directly to rings at the ends
of the bit, they are secured to the
lower ends Of pivoted plates, with a
short strap passing beneath the chin
to connect the upper ends of the two
plates.
It will be seen that a pull on the
reins will swing the plates on the

The Spectroscope,


The spectroscope is an instrument
which has done much to increase our
knowledge of the sun and the stars.
BY it's means the astronomer tells ex-
actly what is the chemical compost
ton of celestial bodies, of what met
ais or gases they are composed, and
even assures us that in some of the
distant stars-suns, some Of them, far
more brilliant than our own-sub-
stances are burning, the like of-which
cannot be found on our planet With
the development of photography the
spectroscope became more and more
valuable. BY combining the spectre
scope and the sensitive Photographic
plate a new instrument, the spectre
graph, has been obtained, by means
of which star-spectra are permanently
recorded for the study of the astro.
physicist.

jolly Evening Games.
A number of jolly evening games
can be played with ordinary pins, one
scent paper of which will supply the
foundation for an. evenings amuse-
ment.
A paper-spearing contest-Tear or
cut clean scrap paper into inch
squares and pile them on a paste
board box lid. There should be sew
eral handfuls, enough to make a good
sized heap.
Place the box lid in the center of
the table at which the game is to be
played and give each player a PIN
The fun consists in seeing who in the
fifteen minutes allotted to the game
can spear the most pieces with his
pin.
BY the rules of the game only one
piece of paper may be taken on the
pin at one time. If two are captured
by mistake both must be returned to
the pile.
A small prize may be given to the
boy or girl having the most squares
when the game is at an end.
Pins and marbles-Each boy or girl
receives three pins, which are stuck
upright in the carpet. Marbles are
then used to bowl over the pins. Nat
urally, there must be a prearranged
place for the pins to be stuck and for
the bowler to stand, in order that
everybody shall have an equal chance.
If more than one boy or girl should
succeed in downing all three pins in
the three bowls allowed by the rules,
