Electrical Anaesthesia.

OF tremendous Importance to the
world is the discovery of the produc-
don of general anaesthesia by the ap-
plication of electricity to the skull,
announced by Professor Leduc Of
France 1t is declared that a current
of thirty five volts sent internationally
through two electrodes applied to the
head will INDUCE thoroughly healthful
sleep, In which the most painful and
most difficult surgical operations may
be performed.
Tie substitution Of electricity for
Chloroform, ether or morphine as a
general anaesthetic would be a boon
to mankind comparable only to the
marvellous discovery Of the sleep pro
ducing properties of chloroform, made
by DR.. Simpson Of Edinburgh almost
sixty years ago. To obviate the dele
terious results that sometimes follow
the employment Of chemical anaes.

lists. Chloroform or ether frequently
upsets the patients digestive organs
and the gradual awakening from the
sleep caused by a drug is In some
cases long and painful process. Nor
phine is open to the charge Of laying
the foundation for the habit Of taking
the drug after the temporary necessity
FOR its administration has passed In
addition to these objections the lay
mind frequently conceives a horror of
the drug that renders the surgeons
task ~doubly difficult, as the patients
dread must be dissipated before the
knife can be applied
The cabied reports Of Professor Lee

seems to work more clearly and rapid
" after one Of the artifcially induced
electric sleeps" and that rest is
brought to patients suffering from
nervous exhaustion, ordinary fatigue
or even moral depression If these
claims are sustained by continued ex-
perlmentation the soothing current
may be Of inestimable service to man
kind in fields remote from that OF the
surgeon However, even If the use of
the electric current in producing gen
sral anaesthesia is the sole result of

WE all rather take it for granted
that the 'balance of power" in an
election, that the men who make poll.
tics a business are always talking
about, is held in this city by the 'for-
eign" vote always a purchasable
commodity by the way but as mat
ter of fact the real balance of power
is held by the solid, substantial, easy
going, property owning citizens who
are generally too busy to vote. These
easy going citizens wake up once in a
while and show that they have the
power to control municipal affairs abb
solutely when something happens TO
show them the necessity of making
an effort, but it takes at least Doodle
investigation to get any action out of
them. They pay long price for the
peace they enjoy and for their failure
to give to public affairs the intelligent
supervision they give to personal mat
tiers, but experience has shown that
they will pay almost anything rather
than be disturbed. They kick it is
tue, but they pay and that is just
what the men who are on the inside
can count on their doing with abso-
Lutte certainty ninety-nine times out
Of hundred.

If you believe that any opening in
a brick pavement can be repaired so
that it is ''as good as new" stop and
watch the repair gang at work for a
few minutes anywhere that repairs
are being made. No matter how skill
full the repair men are it is impossible
to put back all the brick taken out
even when the pavement is relaid the
same day it is torn out and if the
street is left open for any consider
able length of time the number of
brick that cannot be put back is
largely increased. It does not re-
quire an expert to figure that the
closer the brick are laid the better
the pavement is and that every brick
that is left out when repairs are made
damages the pavement and shortens
its life just that much.

The Wrong Spirit.

"The late Sir William Henry Perkin.

Philadelphia chemist 'had singularly

about the missionary movement.
"Sir William had been for years a
warm supporter of this movement, and
he praised it highly, but he condemned
certain phases Of it. illustrating the
phase he meant by a quotation from a
letter-a letter written by the notable
Captain Davis to Secretary Walsing-
ham about the conversion Of the In

"The letter ran:
"Tf these people (the Indians} were

Extravaganza Not All Woman's
Fault,

Women generally do not know how
to save. Most of them have no inner
tied facility in that direction. This is
the price which the race must pay for
making man the hereditary controller
of the purse strings. And thus in the
impoverishing bargain counter man
may see the instrument with which an
memorable fate Furnishes him for the
niggardly policy Of those forefathers
who denied to woman not only her
just earnings and Inheritance, but also
even a beggarly amount Of pin money.

sufferers so back to work. Sometimes
friends quietly raise the money to

just such needs are almost wanting,

independent and does not care to ac-

Humor of a Musician

There are not few people who pos
sess the idea that the late Joseph Joa-
chin, the celebrated Hungarian mas
ter violinist, was a man of somewhat
stern disposition, with little or no ap-
probation of humOr The Following
story from his biography written by
Andreas Moser goes a long way to dis
pei this misconception, says the De
troit News-Tribune.
Joachim was in the habit of inter-
rupting his lessons in violin playing
with pointed remarks showing a live
ly sense of humor, says the Chicago
News. One day a pupil who was g
native Of Konigsberg played the ada
gio from the ninth concerto of Spohr.
Although he played it correctly, it was
a dry performance, and Joachim re-
marked:
"My dear b., it is no disgrace to
have been born in the city Of pure
reasonX but if | were you l would not
show 1t in my playing"
To another pupil who had played
the finale from Mendelssohn concerto
very stolidly and heavily, he remark
ed, 81 beg for the next lesson that
the elves do not come to dance in rid
ing boots"
Another youth could not execute
figure that was ornamented with brill
liant shakes to his satisfaction. In
order to make the character of the

passage clear to the pupil Joachim
said, THAT passage is meant for
garland with blossoms hanging on it,
not potatoes"

Now that there is prospect of a
lively municipal campaign how would
it be for the Council to order another
general registration of voters for the
whole city2 Have the registration a
regular one, too, without any copying
of old lists, which are VIGOROUSLY in
accurate, by the clerks at the different
wards and then confine the voting at
the primaries as we'll as at the regu-
lar election as strictly as possible to
those who took the trouble to get
their names and correct addresses on
the lists. The poll lists are in bad
shape now and if the vote is to be
checked from the present lists there
are sure to be charges of fraud and
illegal voting no matter how the cleo
tion turns out. There was more than
a suspicion that there was more or
less repeating" at the last primaries
and the poll lists should DE put in
shape before next spring so that it
will be possible to catch the offenders

an inch in size and bearing a plaid so
woven that it is difficult to say what
the colors all are that go to make 1t,

suspicion of red and dull yellow and
black, all woven SO cleyerly that the
