walking with Broken I,ess,

Experiments have recently been
made at the London hospital with new
spllnts which enable a person with a
broken leg or thigh to 20 about his
business within a few days Of his ac-
cident. The invention halls from the
continent, where II has been In use for
some years. The principle Of the splint
is that round the seat of the fracture
Is fastened a hardened leather case
which fits the leg closely everywhere
and prevents any movement Of the
fractured bones. The weight Of the
body il then carried by jointed steel
rods attached to another case fastened
above or below the knee, according to
the place Of fracture. With this ap-
pliance the patient Is enabled to walk
before the broken bone Is Joined. and
there Is one Of that after trouble with
stiff joints which comes when a limb
has been held rigidly for weeks.-LOn'

Titles Losing Significance.

There has grown up in recent times
a system which has robbed military
titles, both of land and sen forces, of
their old time significance. Formerly
a colonel meant the commander Of a
regiment, but 1t Is not the case nj
present, as a colonel may be a pay
master or a doctor, an ordnance Off
Ger or a commissary Of subsistence

cred an officer actually commanding

ANTlToxlN.
The Way THIS Powerful Germ Killer
L. In Horses.

The recent triumphs OF antitoxin
over lockjnw have awakened II fresh
interest In this comparatively new
branch of medicine. If diphthcria and
tctanus car be cured by such n meant
physicians predict that before long an
titoxins may be used successfully for
consumption, pneumonia and other dis
eases which are known to be produced
by germs.
A horse creates the antitoxin for a
disease by being inoculated with the
toxin, or poison. which the germs OF
that disease produce. In preparing the
antitoxln for %diphtheriu, for instance,
the germs are first transplanted from
the throat OF a child to Il sort OF bouil-
Ion, made from chopped lean beef.
Here the germs IN multiplying throw
of a toxin. Or poison. which, when
potent enough. causes death to any
animal with whose blood It mingles.
II a quantity Of this toxin less than
the fatal dose IL injected into an AMI
NAL the body Of that animal generates
In its system a peculiar product which
destroys these poisons. This product
IL known as antitoxin. In obtaining
the a%ntitoxin for diphthcria from a
horse, therefore. occasional doses Of
the toxin are injected. with intervals
between to permit the animal to re-
cuperate. until after several months Of
treatment enough toxin IL harmlessly
Injected to kill several hundred horses
brought In fresh from the fields.
When the bacteriologist believes that
the horse has generated In Its blood all
the antitoxin that its system In capable
Of producing, he draws OF a half gal
lon of Its blood. A hollow needle shaped
tube Is thrust into the jugular vein.
and the blood flows through the tube
into nm alright vessel. Here the blood
serum IL permitted to rise to the sur.
face, when 1t IL siphoned OF into small
glass tubes, ready for the market, her
m~etically scaled and equipped with q
syringe attachment and a hypodermic
needle. All the various antitOxins are
prepared in much the same way.-New

There is to be a third Bull
Run battle. General Corbin will
command $4,000 troops in Sep
TENDER ON that memorable field,
in mimic warfare. Fifty square
miles Of land, including all the
Bull Run battle fields have been
rented for the purpose. The
historic Henry House, which
was the rebel headquarters Of
the first battle, still stands. We
were in the fight of September,
1862, and the division to which
we belonged of the Third corps
had gained the railroad, and we
thought we had 'em, but a flank
movement was made and the
Jonnies had us, and we had to
run, and we did. Our FOurCh OF
July races here was no compar-
ison. The two bridges over the
Bull Run were filled with artil-
lery;; infantry plunged into the
creek. The banks were steep
and soon became slippery, but
rebel bullets came like rain;
we were in a hurry so we stuck
our bayonet into the bank and
made a foot rest for ourselves,
and we hope others, for we
never got it, and in September
we would like to go down and
look it up. Woodbine Twiner.
