seem. the most optimistic of aviators ad-
init the present type of airship can have
no place In warfare. unless it is OF the

by his long-sustained flights, has shown
just what place this type of sky craft

With the marvellous feats accomplished
in engineering within the past decade,
there is no limit to the achievements that
may be looked forward to. Tunnellings

have elapsed since wireless telegraphy

first messages were exchanged across the
Atlantic between Cape Breton and Corn

In connection with the achievements of
the Octopus the name of Lieut.. Kenneth
Whiting, an American naval officer, stands
boldly forth. While in the harbor of Manila
last August he demonstrated that it was
possible to escape from a submerged sub-
marine by being shot to the surface
through a torpedo tube. His feat was no
less heroic or daring than that of Con-
FRESHMAN Richmond Pearson Hobsen, the
hero of the Merrimac and one of the real
heroes of the Spanish-American War. 1t
is confidently expected that Congress at
its present session will vote a medal to
Whiting, for his daring feat has shown
his brother officers aud the men under
them a means of escape from one of the
most horrible of all deaths.

for altitude was made by W. Graham, in
1888, when he climbed to the peak of
Mount Kabaru, in the Himalayas, a
height of 24,015 feet. Mount Goodwin
Austen is the second highest peak in the
world, Mount Everest topping it by $50
feet. thus showing that the Duke and his
party were $3.50 feet from the summit OF
Mount Goodwin-Austen when they turned
back.
Few of us fail to recall the eclat with
which Nellie BLY, was received when, after
making a trip around the world for the
New York World, her time was announced
as sixty-seven days. This was in $780,
and sirct thel her figures have been
smashed to smithereens. The time was
gradually lowered to forty-three days,
where the record stood until last August
when Walter Drew and John Munich,
New York school boys. encircled the
globe in forty-one days and eight hours.

yet withal they penetrated to the farthest
south. and profiting by this experience,
they assert that they will make still an
other dash and reach the long-coveted
goal.
OF course the discovery of the two
poles means much to science, and the
world at large was intensely interested
in the respective narratives of these in
trepid explorers, but now that the first
flush of excitement has passed, even in
terest in the bitterly contested contro-
versy between Peary and Cook has begun
to wane and the average reader of news
papers asks: ''Now that we own the
pole what shall we do with it?"
OF far greater interest to the average
man and woman are the feats of the
little band of bird men who have mas
tered the currents of the air and so set
their planes that they fly aloft and skim
through the air with all the grace and
speed of fast winging eagles. Here. too,
America comes to the front, as the Wright

doses of the stovaine and administered
them hypodermically between the twelfth
dorsal and the first lumbar vertebrate.
The first patient was boy of four and
a half years, who was suffering from
paralysis. In few minutes the patient
became temporarily paralyzed below the
point of injection His inaction was so
complete that it was unnecessary to
fasten his neither limbs to the operating
table. His hands were tied, to prevent
his interfering with the operating surg
con, and the operation went on to sue
cessful termination.
The second operation was that of a
girl afflicted with a club foot. She was
successfully operated upon, as was boy
suffering with hernia, and each patient
watched with interest the work Of the
surgeon and did not feel one twinge of
pain. The last person used as demon
strating medium a woman 80 years
old, suffering with a fracture of the
neck of the femur, which was reduced by
q surgeon after Professor Jonnesco had
injected his stovaine. None of the pa
tients showed the least signs Of distress,
and all OF the 30 medical men present
acknowledged that the day of painless
surgery had arrived.

to pick their way over mountainous gla-

and skirt the Drinks of deep and forbid

The medical world Is greatly interested

in painless surgery made by Prof Thomas
Jonnesco, and eminent surgeon OF Rou-
mania. Professor Jonnesco discovered sto-

deadens the sense of pain that the use of
aIiaesthetics is unnecessary in the most
delicate and serious of surgical opera
tons.
When Professor Jonnesco arrived in
New York early in December some of
our most eminent surgeons were prone
to scoff at his claims for stovaine. Two
weeks Later he gave a public clinic at
the Hospital for Crippled and RuptHred
Children, in New York, that amply
proved all he claimed.
The actual operative work was not done
by Professor Jonnesco. He prescribed the
