DENTAL FoRceps IN ANTIQUITY.
Proof That They Existed, But No spe-
cImens Are In Existence.

DR.. Sudhon not long ago read pa
per before the Leipzig Medical society
on dental forceps in antiquity. He said
that even before the time Of Hippo
crates reference to the use Of such in
struments are found, but no specimens
are met with among the surgical i'm
plements belonging to classical times
that have been discovered. This can
only be due to the material of which
they were made Unlike the mass of
other Graeco-Roman surgical instru-
ments, which were nearly all Of bronze,
the dental forceps of antiquity must
have been made Of iron or steel, al
though no medical writer mentions the
fact. In the Aristotelian Mechanical
Problems" however, there is a pas
sage which, ACCORDING to DR.. Sudhoff.
has hitherto been overlooked, IN which
1t is mentioned as a familiar fact that
dental forceps were made of iron. In
the museum at Homburg, where there
is an almost unrivaled collection OF
iron implements, two steel-plsted den
tai forceps, one for the upper, the
other for the lower jaw, have been
found. That dental forceps should
have formed part of the armamentari-

cRIMsoNs POWERFUL
LEG DRIVE.
Coach Wray Is Shaping His Crew for
Another Cornell Victory.

Coach Wray Is Shaping His Crew for
Another Cornell Victory.
Harvard's varsity crew squad was
given a lot of hard work last week in
authorization of a gradual let-up prior
to the race with Cornell the last Of
this month. The warm days brought
the first really good rowing weather
that Harvard has had this season, and
the men were able to work out and
timber up IN better shape than at any
previous time this year.
This week will practically finish the
preparation for the race. and the fol-
lowing week the crew will be given
enough work to keep it in condition
for the race on the 31st at Ithaca. The
men will leave Cambridge the middle
of next week and will put in a couple
of days practice on Lake Cayuga.
As a crew, this years Harvard
eight has developed rapidly, and Wray
had a finished crew this season sew
eral months earlier than Harvard has
had for q good many years back.
In the Columbia race the Harvard
crew was at its best, and since their
lay-off following the race with Column
bia, the men have had more individ-
ual coaching. The great source Of
speed In this years crew has been all
along in it's powerful leg drive. This
has been combined with the short
heave of the shoulders and body with
out any break in the stroke and has
made the boat travel smoothly between
strokes. Aside from this there is
nothing remarkable about the form
which the men have shower, and there
has been q number Of more or less Sc
rious defects, which Coach Wray has
been working to eradicate.
This week tho crew is having a
lighter work and the stroke will be
worked up again gradually to get
ready for the two-mile race with Cor
nell. oBth Wray and the crew have
their minds set on winning this race
so that last years surprising victory
over Cornell will not be looked on as
q fluke. If Wray keeps his men in
good trim and they regain what they
have lost of the snap they had at the
time of the Columbia race, Harvard
ought to be a slight favorite over Cor
nell.
After the Cornell race will come
the real test of Wray's skill as a
trainer in getting the men whipped
into shape for the Yale race. At least
a week of easy work viii be necessary
to get the men back into form, and
by that time it will be about time FOL
the crews to start for New London
It will require careful watching to
keep the men from getting stale be-
fore the all important race of the
year, but Wray is not letting thi:
bother him much at the present time
but just now is concentrating all his
efforts on getting his crew into shape
to beat Cornell.
