As History Might Be Taught.

Another way of teaching history
which the schools might adopt has
apparently not appealed to them. A
good newspaper, if the teacher
knows how to interpret its daily rec
ord, may stimulate an interest in
history itself. If the pupil can be
taught the continuity and relation of
events, an awakened interest in the
daily happenings will arouse a de-
sire to trace them back through pre-
ceding stages. It is the break in
continuity between the past and the
immediate present that deadens en-
thusiasm. By studying history
backward from the immediate pres
ent this chasm would be bridged
and the passion for tracing to cause

DEATH TRAP FOR BIRDS.

tract and Kill Thousands.
One of the keepers who came ashore
from Boon Island recently tells the
story of the strange death encoun-
tered by thousands of the migrat-
ing birds every spring. Flying along
the coast at night they are instantly
attracted by the powerful light from
the watch tower, as moths are drawn
to a candle. Thousands of these
olrds in their passage north fly with
full force against the thick glass OF
the brilliantly lighted lantern
Stunned to death they fall to the
rocks below or scale away for lit
tie distance and fiutter helplessly in
to the water. The light of morning
sometimes reveals the rocks covered
with the little creatures whose jour
ney to their summer homes has met
this sudden and fatal termination.
Hundreds of species are found
among the unfortunate little tour
lists. Most of them are easily rec
OgniZed as belonging to the various
common classes of song birds. But
very often large birds of beautiful
plumage come to their final resting
place in this manner upon the bleak
rocks, of Boon Island. On one occa-
sion several years ago the thick
glass of the lantern was shivered to
atoms by the impact of some strange
bird of powerful bill.-York Tran

New York City.-Human blood
went at bargain-counter prices In
Bellevue Hospital when for $40 a
guest of Mills Hotel No sold ff-
teen ounces Of his life fluid, thereby
probably saving the life of John Den
nison, 10 years old. patient suffer
ing from malignant growth on the
right leg. There was nothing heroic
aboEt the manner in which the man
sold his blood. 1t was purely a bus
iness proposition. The Mills Hotel
man needed the ten-spOt and +zIt he
could spare the blood. The father
Of the patient, though poor, felt he
could spare the $40 in view of his
sons need for the fresb h.ood.
Striking bargain between buyer
and seller was easy. Dennison's faith
er went to Mills Hotel No. and
announced he was in the market for
human blood He explained that his
son was in Bellevue Hospital and
that the surgeons were anxious to
transfuse the blood OF a healthy per.
son into the body of the boy.
''The doctors want a strong man
who is healthy in ever Uyg" tAA
father explained.
A guest registered as RArk Owen,
who refused to tell anything further
about himself. stepped forward, and
remarked he would like to know
more about 1t.
Big, broad-shOuldeTed with the
glow of health in his cheeks, he
looked as If he would pass the test of
the physicians.
'1 guess you'll do" said Dennison-
How much blood do you wants
asked Owen.
Fifteen ounces"
How much do I get?"
Ten dollars"
I'm your man." and the bargain
was struck. The rate was Sc 2-S
cents an onuce.
Up to Bellevue Hospital marched
Dennison and Owen. The surgeons
examined the man who was willing
to sell fifteen ounces Of his blood for
$40, and told him he would do. The
nature of the operation then was ex-
planned to him.
He was told that the patient was
suffering from what is known as saS-
coma, a malignant growth. To saws
the boys life 1t was necessary to take
from his body about sixteen ounces
of the impure blood and transfuse in
the body about fifteen ounces Of
healthy fluid.

Dennison was placed on the cp.
Grating table and Owen was laid on
another table Between the two was
a narrow table upon which the boy
and the man each placed an arm.
The surgeons made an inCisiOn in
the boys upper arm and blood was
permitted to flow from the upper
part Of the median vein, while the
lower part was closed. In this way
the boy was relieved Of about six
teen ounces of his impure and un-
nourished blood. An incision then
was made in the forearm Of the man.
The surgeons rapidly connected the
lower ligament Of the mans radial
artery with the upper vein of the
boys arm, and the blood of the man
began to pass into the body Of the
boy.
Dennison and Owen watched each
other coolly throughout the opera
ton. Not a whimper came from the
boy, net q groan from the man.
When the operation was over the
boys temperature showed marked
improvement.
Owen was weak after the opers-
ton. He took a stimuIant and then
left the hospital, not forgetting, Of
course, to collect his $40 before
leaving.
