A New Clinical Instrument.

A photo optical apparatus invented by
DIR. Charles III. Duncan, which has re-
ceived a successful test in a New York
hospital, is expected to greatly aid in the
study of surgery, while at the same time
giving relief to suffering patients who
dread the ordeal OF going on the operat-
ing table in the presence of room full
of students. By means of mirrors and
camera bellows the machine transfers the
scene in its actual colors and proportions,
life size, from the operating room to a
huge screen in the amphitheater, where
are gathered the spectators. The patient
may be kept entirely unaware that the
operation is under observation. More
over, moving pictures of the operation
may be secured, and a photographic rec
ord of the accompanying lecture, thus OBJ
tanning for future use valuable informa-
ton for medical colleges all over the
world. The lens of the projectorscope, as
it is called, is placed directly above the
operating table, so as to give every OBJ
server a full view of the opera ton.

MAY REVIVE WAR TAX.
House Committee Plans Increase In
Internal Revenue.

Face to face with treasury deficit
aggregating $I9,000,o00 and that threat
ems to run to approximately Sl3O,OOO,-
600 ty the end of the fiscal year, the
committee or Ways and Means now en-
gagged 10 the task of framing a tariff
revision bill, contemplates reporting a
measure that will revise upward the in
ternal revenue taxation laws to some
thing like the war revenue figures. In
this connection, a Washington CORE
spondent learns that the committee Sc
riously considers proposing an increase
In the internal revenue tax on beer, a
commodity that now yields, at 81 a
barrel, approximately $55O00,O00 a
year. There is good reason to believe
that the committee will report in favor
OF re-enacting some of the provisions
of the Spanish war revenue act. Among
the suggestions made in this connection
is that stamp tax should be imposed
on commercial paper and ON propri-
etary medicines
While final decision as to the pro-
posed customs tax ON coffee has not
been reached, the committee undoubt-
edly will recommend a customs duty
OF cents a pound ON that commodity.
Such rate, 1t is estimated, would
bring into the treasury an addition
al $25,000,000 a year. Then there is
tea, which has not been taxed at the
customs houses of the United States
for many years.
While the members Of the committee
do not say so, it is known that in many
instances the tariff is to be revised
downward, ard such revision, accord
Ing to estimates that have been made,

UNCLE SAM AT ENEMY'S MERCY
General Staff of Army Sounds Warn
ing About California Coast.

That the harbor of San Pedro, Cal,
should be fortified without delay, is
the gist of a report Of the general
staff OF the army made to the secre-
tary of war. The report of the general
staff discusses the unprotected con-
dition of the entire southern Califor-
MIA district. The country is vastly
rich, and San Pedro would be an ad-
Yantageous point for an enemy to
land force which could hold its posi-
ton indefinitely. "A certain oriental
power is the way the report talks of
the possible enemy that might land at
San Pedro. The seizure of San Pedro
would follow after Pearl Harbor, Ha-
wall, had been occupied by the enemy,
for the sake of the argument it being
assumed that the Americans would
have no naval force in Pacific waters
strong enough to prevent the enemy's
designs

but 1t Is wiser TO wait a half hour or
an hour Don't smoke out OF doors In
a high wind or in cold. frosty wealth

and prevents proper breathing. Don't
smoke with the cigar or pipe held at
the corner OF the mouth This excites
the secretion of more saliva than when
the cigar or pipe is held straight IN
front. And. above ali, don't get In the
bad habit of expectorating frequent
ly when smoking. 1t Is quite unneces-
