IMAGINATION AND TEETH.
An Anaestheticl Failed, but the Patient
Felt No Pain.

Felt No Pain.
Writing to a London paper, med
ical man tells this story:
ga remarkable incident happened re-
Gently at London dental hospital. A
young woman went there to have five
teeth extracted. The anaesthetic de-
cided upon by the dental surgeon was
ethyl chloride. and this was admins
tered by the usual form of apparatus.
An india rubber cap is placed over the
patients mouth and nostrils, and con
nected with it is a bag into which a
sealed capsule Of ethyl chloride is in
froduced. By the turning of a screw
from the outside the capsule is broken
and the anaeSthetic liberated The
screw was turned, the patient went off
gradually into the usual condition of
tnsensihility, five teeth were extracted.
and the patient awakened without feel
ing any part Of the operation.
The whole case appeared perfectly
normal Only when the young woman
had left the room and the apparatus
was being made ready for another pa
tent was it discovered that the cap
sule of ethyl chloride had by some
mischance not been broken at all. The
whole condition of insensibility had
been brought about by the self hypno-
tism of the patient. The idea that an
anaesthetic was being administered
was so strong in her mind that she had
passed into insensibiIity entirely nv

Its men knew little or nothing of
firearms save the fintlocks of their

their shops Or homes, except in the far

A Chicago-New York Thoroughfare.
A Chicago-New York national high
way may be an issue in the next Pres
idential campaign, according to DR..
Gardener S. Chaplin and H. Sargent
Nichols, two Chicago good roads en-
thusiasts, who stopped in Utica en-
route to New York. With them was
Wallace Busch, also a Chicagcan.
Mr.. Nichols talked of the pro-
posed highway, and asserted it would
be a general benefit to the people
along the route, to farmers 10 less
than others. The plan was to make
it free to all except automobiles,
who should pay a toll for the use of
the road. the proceeds to be used for
maintaining the land.

Mr.. Nichols believes that a ma

cost of from $4,000 to $4,000 a mile,
n the distance from Chicago to
New York by the proposed route
would be a little mor than 100

9 ROAD S.

ebert For County Roads.

lie FOH OOUuly 1eOaASe
One of the papers read before the
Alabama Good Roads Association at
tbe Birmingham meeting related to
the use of ebert on county roads. It
is a material found in nearly every
part of this district, and experts agree
in considering it the best Of natures
material for road building. It is one
of Alabama's natural endoWments,
lying in great beds near Florence,
Fort Payne, Birmingham, Leeds. Bes-
semer, Admission, Jacksonville, and
perhaps a dozen other North Ala
bama towns.
While perhaps it is better in the
larger towns to employ in road maxi
ing former material, yet for use in
the smaller towns of this State and
on the country roads ebert is the best
possible material. 1t is easily mined,
requiring no preparation whatever.
It wears well and smoothly. ebert
roads that are scientifically construct
ed call for practically no repairs, and
this cannot truthfully be said of
roads constructed from any other ma
terial.
The time is coming when a great
demand for ebert will spring up in
this State and in the surrounding
States. The good roads movement is
constantly widening and deepening,
and when every county wakes up to
the value and true economy of good
roads the Alabama ebert will be in
demand. The present demand is con-
siderable, and the transportation
companies are beginning to give it
the attention it deserves.
ebert f. O. b.. cars in this county is
worth about sixty cents a ton, and
aav locality I, with this price be-
fore it, quickly calculate the cost of
q needful supply. Contractors stand
ready to supply it. The quantity de-
nosited here is practically ipexhausti-
HE, and so is need of good roads
throughout the South.-BiTmingham

Manner of Leaf Fall.

The manner in which the leaf
fall proceeds in different trees is
noteworthy. The ends of the
branches lose their leaves first in
the ash, beech and hornbeam. when
the body of the tree is still clothed
with bright foliage. The poplars
and willows have an exactly contra.
ry habit, for when the trunk ia
stripped of foliage the branch ends
are still decorated with a few lone
leaves which wave like ragged ban
ners beneath the November sky. II
is remarkable how tenaciously these
last leaves cling to the tossing
boughs. At last they also come
hurting to The frozen ground, and
the bare trees of the forest give
forth once more, under the strong
winds urging, that stern, sonorous
m which will last throughout
the winter.-St. Nicholas.
