Animal Surgery.

Animal surgery has now reached
such high degree Of development that
almost every operation to which hu-
man patients submit Is made use OF to
prolong the lives Of pet animals. The
animal surgeon can rejuvenate the
aged dog by fitting it with a perfect
set of false teeth, and he can substi-
tute glass eye for the optic lost by a
cat Quite a number Of dogs and cats
which are minus leg have been fit
ted with artificial substitutes. usually
OF leather, whereas In former days
they would after losing limb have
been either killed or left to limp about
on three legs. In one recent case a cat.
having swallowed a small hatpin, was
placed under the X rays. and the pin.
having been located. was drawn out
by a skillful operation.

Enormous Value of Utilised Wastes.
Thirty years ago for every ton of
finished product turned out by our
manufacturers there was from one to
several hundred pounds OF materials
which were thrown away as waste.
Not only was this SO called waste
material considered valueless, but the
disposition Of 1t was often a source Of
considerable expense and annoyance
to the manufacturers. Owing to the
wonderful progress Of chemical knowl-
edge during the last quarter Of cen
fury and the constant finding Of new
revelations and uses for substances Of
all kinds a complete revolution has
been wrought In nearly every branch
Of the manufacturing industry. In
stead of this waste material being a
source of expense to manufacturers
the experiments Of chemists have
shown how 1t can be converted into
products which have a high marketa-
bic value, and it is no exaageration to
say that the value Of products annual
~ manufactured out Of materials
which thirty years ago were thrown
away as waste today amounts to fully
$500.000000, sum equal to nearly
seven times the annual production Of
gold in the United States.-Henry @.
Nicholas in Moody's Magazine.

How Paris Gets Pure Food.

The maintenance of the "halles," or
public markets, Of Paris under strict
municipal control enables the city au-
thoritles not only to supervise careful
ly the condition and quality Of the food
materials furnished to the 2,7S00o0 in
habitants Of Paris. but to collect and
publish very accurate statistics Of the
relative quality Of each kind Of mate
rial sold from year to year and Its
wholesale market value as distributed
to retailers and consumers throughout
the city. 1t is estimated that about so
per cent of the food products brought
into Paris pass through the halles.
The remainder-fruits, vegetables, etc.
are brought by the greengrOcers and
small marketmen, who have their own
gardens and other sources Of supply in
the country and bring in such products
In their own carts, which pass the
gates during the night and early morn
