planter shot and killed the sutton.

GUARDING the Public Eyesiuht.

There is a controversy in England
between the doctors ami the opti-
clans, who have been increasing their
scientific equipment and prescribing
at a much lower price than the ocu-
lists, while general practitioners as
rule know little about optics and the
prescription of glasses. 1t Is curious
thing that there has been no organ
lied crusade by the profession against
allowing the public to select its own
spectacles from the exposed stock, as
has been the practice ever since
glasses came into use in the seven
teenth century, though this is obvi-
ously more injurious. Blu. now that
the opticians have undertaken to
prescribe the doctors want that for
hidden by act of parliament, leaving
the public free as before to choose its
own spectacles The opticians have
prepared a counter bill. providing for
opticians diplomas to be awarded by
a central council of the whole trade

ward, upon slicing his ball into the

lated: "Croton,' What do you
mean by the word 'Croton.' Mr.. R?'
inquired his partner 1T sounds like

HOSPITAL CAR IN AUSTRALIA
Innovation Has Demonstratedeits Ma
terial Usefulness, w

A hospital on rails speeds across the
southern Pacific continent, a luxur-
ious car equipped with a ward of
eight double berths, operating rooms,
baths, and surgeons apartments. The
berths can be locked in any position
and placed at any height. They can
be lowered to the level of the floor
and the springs and bedding removed,
and the cot with patient placed direct
ly on the frame, thus making it pos
sible to avoid any unnecessary hand
ling of the injured. Berths not in
use can be lowered out of the way in
to the floor, and in their place set
easy chairs which are stored below
the floor when the berths are in use.
The car is held on special side
track at the railway company's hos
pital. A trained nurse and cook are
regularly assigned to it to see that it
is always ready for instant service.
In case of call as many physicians
and nurses as may be necessary are
