said the travelled man who was seeing
Off his friend. Every boulevard and
avenue has its two lines of trees. Shell
tered from the hot sun, you walk I'M
der them IN a cool green dusk. That
hot and dusty city doesn't easily keep
its trees vigorous and fresh. It must
have tree hospitals great nurseries
where, with all sorts Of liquid parasite
killers and all sorts of stimulating fer
tilizers, the rundown urban trees are

you see faded trees being taken up and
fresh trees being put down, and fresh
and faded trees alike, in those ambu-

LOCAL ANAESTHESlA.
German Scientist Devises New Method
For Operations.

German Scientist DeVises New Method
For Operations.
Professor Bier, the distinguished
south German who succeeded the late
Professor Won Bergman at the head
of the surgical faculty of the Univer-
sity of Berlin, has devised a new and
remarkable anaesthetic treatment for
use in operations upon the extremities
of the human body. BY the application
of This treatment, which is described
as q venous transmission, surgeons who
must operate upon the legs or arms
viii no longer need to administer gen
eral anaeSthesia for the purpose of rem
dering the patient unconscious, but viii
be enabled to work in perfectly
bloodless and painless area, while the
mind and the rest of the patieuts
body retain an entirely normal state.
The professor employs for his venous
TRANSMISSION a very weak solution of
cocaine. 1t is designed, of course. par
ticularly for operations upon the ex-
tremities of persons who cannot stand
a general anaesthetic. The cocaine
slowly finds its way into all the veins
Of the affected area. which has pre-
vlously been blocked off l& tight band
ages above and below, and the opera
ton proceeds in a region totally freed
from blood and pain = without the
slightest effect on any other portion
of the patients system.
To avoid the dangers of cocaine in
toXication by reason of even this weak
solution spreading into other veins aft
er the removal of the operating band
ages, Professor Bier washes out the
veins within the operating area with a
physiological salt solution before re-
moving the bandages.

Experiments have shown that the hui
hands has an average electrical resist
ance of about 5000 ohms when the
hands and the shoe soles are wet and
from 10000 to 10000 ohms when hands
and feet are practically dry. With the
last resistance a one two-hundredth
ampere current will pass through the
body If the hand completes a 100 volt
circuit through the earth. In the com
monty used alternating current of 100
volts and 80 cycles per second there
may be difficulty in letting go of the
wire, and such a circuit of 500 volts
Is very dangerous, especially If travers-
ing vital organs.

How Tin Foil Is Made.

Tin foil, which is used extensively
for wrapping tobacco, certain food
products and other articles of COM
merce, is a combination of lead with a
thin coating of tin on each side
1t is made in the following manner:
First tin pipe is made of a thickness
proportionate to its diameter. This
pipe is then filed with molten lead
and rolled or beaten TO the extreme
thinness required. In this process the
tin coating spreads simultaneously
with the spreading Of the lead core and
continuously maintains a thin. even
coating Of tin on each side of the CEN
ter sheet of lead, even though it may
be reduced to thickness of thou
sandth Of an inch or less.

Advances Made In Apparatus For
Shooting Life Lines.


Consul John L. Grifhths of Liverpool
reports that the advisory subcommit
tee appointed by the British govern
ment to formulate a report upon the
question of British ships compuls0rily
carrying life line throwing apparatus
conducted some most important expert
ments in Liverpool recently, the re-
suits Of which are briefly described.
The apparatus submitted comprised
kites, buoys and different styles Of
guns and rockets The first tests were
those of Vests drift buoys, which were
followed by the much improved Re
gurk box kite. Ii was the opinion of
those who witnessed the experiments
that the kite is a successful invention
and will be very serviceable when the
wind Is blowing on a lee shore. One
OF the most interesting of the tests was
made with a balloon constructed OF
gold beater's skin in two weights. 1t
carried a line for 1,500 yards. The
principal tests, however were made
with rockets, cannon and shoulder
guns, which have been carried to a
high state of perfection. Much interest
was shown In the results OF these tests,
both by the committee and the nauti-
cal experts.
The cannon threw line distance
of 80 fathoms, which indicates the
standard of efficiency TO which it has
been brought A projectile is inserted
In the cannon, and the cannon is fired
by means of a friction tube which pro-
pels the projectile a certain distance,
and from that point a rocket is dis
charged which carries the line to its
destination. The gun is portable and
easily handled. Another interesting
feature is that during the daytime the
smoke indicates the direction In which
the line is carried, while at night the
fire of the rocket denotes the direction.
For shore use this gun can be placed
on a small handbarrow, and, as there
are no elaborate accessories, it can be
readily worked by any person Of ordi-
nary intelligence. This gun is claimed
to be the most satisfactory apparatus
for heavy work, as, for example, from
the deck of large liners.-Consular Re-

CONCRETE PoNTooN.

four-tenths of an inch. Expanded
metal which has mesh of about two
tenths inch is stretched between the
vertical supports, to which it is at
tached by suitable metal clips. The
concrete is then applied to the skele-
ton fabric in layers inside and out
equally, the thickness of this sheath
ing varying according to the dimen-
sions of the craft.
The system has been utilized for the
peculiarly shaped boats which serve
to support the decks Of the quaint
floating bridges to be found on the
river Po Hitherto wooden boats have
been strung across the waterway, the
deck planking, built in sections, being
laid transversely across them. The boats
are Of peculiar design, having sharp
pointed rising ends. In such re-en-
forced concrete the same general lines
are preserved, only the ends are made
blunter, a greater midship beam is pro-
vided, while they have perfectly fat
bottoms, forming a kind of pontoOn.
Each boat is forty-five feet in length,
with a beam of twelve feet and
depth of $50 feet. So satisfactory have
the craft proved in service, the alb
sence Of repairs being pre-eminently
distinguishing feature, that the wooden
boats for these quaint floating bridges
are being superseded by the REINFORCED
concrete craft as rapidly as possible,
over a hundred having already been
built for this service.

In connection with the widening and
deepening of the Suez canal at Port

vessel, which ranks as the largest buck

service in the Port Said roads, which
are being deepened.
The Peluse has deck length Of 3O5
feet, with a nodded breadth of forty

Material Proves Success In Can
struction Of Beats.

The utilization Of REINFORCED con-
crete as constructional material for
various purposes for which masonry,
wood or iron work has been previously
employed has undergone considerable
development during the past few years.
One Of the most novel applications Of
the system. however, is that which has
been evolved and perfected by well
known italian engineer, Signor Carlo
Gabelini Of Rome-namely, its adop-
ton for the construction OF boats and
floating structures in general such as
pontoons. floating bridges, and so forth.
The system of construction is very
simple. The keel Is laid In the usual

of the hull in conformity with the de-
sired lines Of the craft. The iron rod
