The Velocity of lioht.

Light moves with the amazing We
locity of $4,000 miles a second.
speed a million times as great as
that of rifle bullet. 1t would make
the circuit of the earth's circumference
and the equator, seven times in one
beat of the pendulum. For a long
time the light was thought to be in
Simultaneous but it is now known to
have a measurable velocity. The dis.
covery was first made by means of
the eclipses of Jupitar's satellites.
Jupiter, like the earth casts shadow
and when his moons pass through It
they are eclipsed, fast as our moon is
eclipsed when passing through the
earthis shadow Jupiter's shadow far
surpasses in magnitude that of the
earth. His moon revolves around him
more rapidly than our moon revolves
around the earth, and their orbits
are nearly in the plane of the planets
orbit. Consequently they all, with
the exception of the fourth and most
distant satellite, pass through the
planets shadow and are ecipsed at
ever ution.-Hesperian.

physician can be of greater service to
the public and himself.
In time medical men will probably
advertise as much as those in any
other profession. 1t is acknowledged,
of course, that an advertising physi-
clan, who makes false claims, may
delude the public and do a great
deal OF harm. A physician who ad-
vertises what he cannot perform Is
undoubtedly quack, but there are
quacks also among those who never
advertise at all--the worst kind of
quacks and frauds. False advertis-
ing does not pay permanently in any
line and what is contemplated, when
prediction Is made of doctors eventu-
ally taking full advantage of their
opportunities, is truthful statement
of the advertisers name, location,
hours, fees, and, If he is a specialist,
an announcement to that effect, with
clear explanation of what he can do.
The possible patient, who is now de.
liberately kept in ignorance of the
means by which he may be cured,
has some rights also in the matter
for which the old system does not
provide.

Fireproof CelIuIoid.

A process has recently been invent
ed for rendering celluloid noninfiam-
mable. In its broad principles the pro
cess may be said to consist of intro
ducing into the mass of celluloid
when it has reached the highest der
gree of fiuidity during its manufact.
ure of certain quantity of salt.
such as phosphate, bicarbonate of
ammonia or magnesium or still
others. These salts possess the pro-
perry of giving off under the influ.
ence of heat great quantity of gas.
which stops the progress of the com,
bustion. 1t is claimed that quantities
of uninfiammable celluloid can be
manufactured by the new process
into any form and size desired

Physicians Not Up.to-Oate in This

An applicant for a license to prac

to the courts for adjudication. ought
to.
so called medical ethics Is involved
in the controversy. A majority Of
the physicians, particularly the older
ones. hold to the theory that the
standards OF the profession require a
member not to inform the public Of
his qualifications, but to let it find It
out by inquiry or experience who are
the competent practitioners Some
times ethics allows doctor to pub
lish Z board containing simply his
name, address, and office hours; some
times even this is frowned upon. The
effect Of such a system Is clearly In
furious to tell the public be,fdo-sCi
furious to the good physician. not al.
lowed to tell the public what he can
do toward relieving its ills, and TO
the public, deprlving it of the oppor.
tunity of learning who are the cap
able doctors, while it Is a distinct aid
to the mediocre practitioner, who
would be able to get very little bust
ness were he compelled TO compete
for 1t on his merits. Nevertheless
there can be no serious objection on
the part of an outsider # any doctor
chooses to adopt such a course for
himself If he does not wish to adver.
tise, that is proper for physician to
follow an obsolete plan, which works
in the interest Of mediocrity, If he
pleases, but this does not satisfy the
men who chance to be on the state
board of medical examiners. Not
satisfied with being what they regard
as ethical themselves, they demand
that everybody else shall do as they
do or quit practicing medicine This
Is the question which may go to the
supreme court and on which a de-
cision will be of great interest and
Importance.
Ultimately, of course. irrespective
OF the determination Of the present
controversy, the medical profession
will move up with the rest of the
world. Many of the best physicians
are now good advertisers, though
they do ii so cleyerly that ethics are
not violated. Connection with an i'm
portant case, which attracte atten
ton, in the newspapers, such as the
Illness of president, is worth thou
sands of dollars to a physician as
pure advertising. The name of the
attending physician printed In con
nection with the report of an accident
is of considerable value, fact which
Is keenly appreciated None of these
things offend medical ethics, though
they are similar in principle to any
other advertising, bring pecuniary
gain to the person mentioned, but
they show a dawIing comprehension
