Brain Injuries and Ready Missile.

Brain injuries ana deaoy missile.
From the New York Herald.
In these days when stones are SHE'D at
the heads of automoblists, when sim
pie and accidental tap from polo mallet
causes the lamentable death of a young
and promising student, when fatal frac-
ture Of the skull is such a frequent result
of runaway accident, the nature Of the
brain injuries thus resulting is perhaps
of more than passing interest Although
the brain is apparently well protected
against wounds In general, it Is more than
ordinarily susceptible to the jar of concus-
sion pressure from blood clot or de-
pressed bone. Thus often what might be
a comparatively Insignificant blow to any
other organ would be fraught with the
gravest results IL inflicted directly Upon the
head
In any event afl forms of head injury
are sources of anxiety to the surgeon In
the case of the young student a fatal re-
suit was due doubtless to a secondary hem
orrhage from a ruptured vessel and was
precipitated during the reaction from the
shock by some trif1ing exertion causing
the escape of the temporarily plugging clot
There was OF course, no means for antic-
ipating such a calamity, and the sequel
only proved the treacherous outlook of
such injuries. Too much care cannot be
taken in protecting the head from all pos
sible danger. Nature teaches this by the
instructive raising OF the arms against an
impending attack and the outstretching of
the hands when falling. But what quick
missile of some youthful mscreant who
may choose at any time to dispute the
rights of some innocent and unsuspecting
pleasure taker?

NEW LIGHTHOUSE IN PROSPECT
Located on Chesapeake Bay, West Side
Of Craighill Channel.

A new lighthouse is to be built on Chesa-
peake bay. near the mouth OF the Patapsco,
and is to be known as the Baltimore light
station. 1t is to be located on the west side
of the Craighill channel into Baltimore har-
bor. in q depth of water Of % feet at mean
low tide. Borings made on the site of the

representative of one of these arts should
be called TO speak TO representatives, of the
other.
WITHOUT us the world could not get
along" he declared in humorous vein.
Before proceeding very far. he expressed
the fear that he would soon be talking
about his beloved food Investigations and
forget the matter in hand. II am almost
tempted to do it, ne said several times
Continuing, he said that medicine was
more of IN art than science-an art based
on science. The successful physician is a
good artist, he held. for he has to study
carefully the idiosyncr&sie3 of each patient
ard treat each differently from the other
He believed the physicians of the future
would be teachers of health above every
thing else.
You should not look forward for your
prosperity to a time OF universal disease
but to a time when there Is no disease at
ALL he said.
Advice was given to steer clear of the
quack. the chariatan and the nostrum. He
urged hls hearers to prefer death in the
hands OF n regular doctor to recovery
through the treatment of quack. THAT is
the real patriotism" he said.
In conclusion he deplored the fact that
the legislation of the country was enacted
by men who knew so little about medicine
and the laws of hygiene, and advised young
doctors to try TO get elected to Congress,
&c that they could influence the enactments

Port Arthur Is Safe.

Russians Think laps Have
Concealed Their Losses.

St petersburg, March 3-Since the dis
appearance of the Japanese fleet from
before Port Arthur the Russian authori-
ties have been awaiting anxiously the
next move of the japanese on sea. There
is an inclination here to believe that the
Japanese have been discouraged by the
failure of their attacks and perhaps by
losses they have not announced. 1t is
evident even from the meager information
regarding the Russian dispositions in
northern Korea that the plan for check
ing the Japanese land advance is per-
fected and that heavy reserves are be-
ing brought up the Yalu river. Every
energy of the authorities is now directed
TO prevent a blockade on the Siberian
railroad Twenty new sidings. each Of
1900 feet are being erected. Owing to
the heavy movement of rolling stock car
rying achievements, war munitions and
commissariat stores eastward, there is
great danger that in bringing back the
cars the whole line may be stopped With
the siding now building the authorities
hope TO be able to keep the line clear
and to send eleven trains in each di-
rection daily
