OLD TIME SURGEONS.
They Had to Work Rapidly Before
Anmsthetics Were Used.

Before nnasthetics were known the
surgeons only expedient was to abridge
his patients sufferings by working
rapidly. In this the old time surgeons
did wonders. They had control and a
surety In their hands that are now sell
dom found. One day the celebrated
surgeon MaisOnneure had TO amputate
the leg Of Il poor devil who began to
howl in advance. "I'll give you my
watch" said the surgeon, IF the oper-
alton lasts more than n minute" The
man accepted the offer. but was obliged
to forego the handsome watch, as the
operation took less time than II re-
quires To describe.
To amputate an arm at the shoulder
is a most difficult operation. DR.. Lam
genbeck of Germany did II In two min
ntes. A young physician who came to
see him perform the operation adjusted
his spectacles to his nose SO as not to
lose single movement, but when the
spectaclcs were I'm place the operation
was over. and the severed arm lay on
the floor.
Times have changed much since then.
II suffices to put bit Of chloroform or
ether on n compress and let the patient
breathe through it for n few minutes
to put him into a slumber so deep that
he remains inert while the surgeon
makes his inclsIon. cuts, files the bone
and sews up the flesh. On awaking the
operation is over, and the patient
knows nothing of It. Thanks to chlorO-
form. surgeons can practice operations
today which arouse our admiration.

CONSTAN TINOPlE.


Constantinople looks much better
from the water than II does when view
ed ashore The tourist who touches at
the port. remains on board and sees the
city only from the sea retains an en-
tirely different impression from that Of
him who goes ashore. Seen from the
water. Constantlnople Is very beauti-
full. Seen from the shore 1t is the
apotheosls Of everything that is filthy
and foul. do not say that it is un-
worthy of visit, but | do say that he
who stays on board will take away a
much more picturesque impression.
The site Of Constantlnople Is ideal.
There is probably no finer site for a
city In the world. 1t Is situate on the
Bosporus. between the Mediterranean
and the Black seas. 1t lies between Eu-
rope and Asia. for Scutari Is part Of
Constantlnople. and Scutarl is on the
Aslatic shore 1t is cut off by natural
boundaries into municipal divisions,
for the Golden Horn divides Stamboul,
the Mohammedan, from Galata, the
Christian, city. SO the Bosporus di-
vides Scutari. the Asiatic. from Con-
stantinople, the European. city; yet all
OF these places make one great city
under the general name OF CONSTANT
nople. And this great city is guarded
also by nature. 1t has the sea Of Mar
mora close at hand. with Notifications
at either end Of this great water high
way. rendering the city unassailabIe
by sea. II has n penlnsular conforma-
ton which also renders ii. properly for
tilted, impregnable by land as well as
by sea. 1t Is as If San Francisco were
to have batteries OF heavy artillery all
around her water front. from India
basin TO the presIdlO. from the preside
to Lake Merced and then across the
neck OF the peninsula from Lake Mer-
ced TO India basin. With all these fac
tors in its favor no wonder that Con-
stantinople has always been looked
upon as an ideal site for a city. That
so many races should have battled over
Byzantium for so many hundreds Of
years Is not surprislng-Argonaut.

Map Making,

Map making has kept pace with the
progress of other arts, though It's steps
are not so loud and are heard Oftenest
in the scho0lrcOm. 1t Is really an art
to make map and has always been
so. From the time Of the earliest
crude affairs TO the elaborate and ex-
act pictures of today a great degree of
skill has always been necessary TO
give a perfected representation. Map
making is now at the height OF its OK
cellence and popularity. Tie man with
land TO cultivate, houses 10 build or
land to sell must have everything set
dcwn on his map for reference. No
body thinks OF travelling any great dis
tance without consulting n map. In
deed It IS almost impossible to escape

II into ones hand with thoughtful
kindness, mindful Of the advertise
ment within the pages as well as Of the
convenience of the tourist. Maps are

Nearly every nation has It's own par

some races would not, as the express
sion goes. touch with the tongs" are
considered by others as the greatest

lotus bread and dhourra with the relish
Of fresh dates. the Greenlander gorges
himself on animal fat and whale oil as
the necessary means OF keeping
warmth in his body. HindOos will not

NEW YORK TIME.

It IL the Standard Used In All Our
Weather bureau stations
When we read 4 report from any OF
the 100 regular weather bureau sta.
tons throughout our land bringing the
information that Il rainstorm, tor
nadO or some other meteorological phe-
nomenon began at a certain hour we
need not suppose that the hour men
toned refers 10 the time at the place
where the observation was made. The
hour given is the exact New York time
for every clock ut the regular weathel
bureau stations all over the land is SET
10 the seyenty-6fth meridian, or east
ern standard time, which is exactly
five hours behind Greenwich time.
Only this standard of time is used
in the text of the Monthly Weather
Review, and all weather bureau OBJ
servers are required to record obserya-
tions by it. The reason for this is that
the best scientific deductions from the
weather reports must be based upon
the conditions Of the atmosphere exist
ing Simultaneously in different parts
of the country.
1t would be very ludicrous if all the
hundreds of reports sent daily had TO
be changed at the central Office in
Washington from local TO eastern time.
and SO all the regular observers are re
Quired TO use the New York, or eastern
time, in making their reports.
There are many volunteer observers
and newspaper correspondents who in
reporting weather phenomena use 9th.
er standards Of time. If the weather
bureau has occasion to use their re-
ports the time is often corrected tc
agree With the eastern standard or the
local standard is mentiOned.-Detroii

that there must be no mistake as TO the
