Surgery on Heart

Surgical operations upon the heart have become
more or less OF a commonplace in medical history.
Something approximating 100 cases of the sewing
up OF heart wounds on record and the recov.
cries have been considerable when one considers
the highly dangerous character of such work Hith.
erto however heart surgery has been limited to 40
cident cases.
In recent issue of the annals Of surgery one Of
the workers at the Rockefeller institute for
medical research discusses the possibility OF
treating diseased hearts surgically. He has made
numerous experiments on animals and believes
that such operations win be successfully performed
on human beings in the near future His tests
have convinced him that the heart can be opened

battling armorclad.
In order to enable the officers the bridge to
be at all times closely in touch with all parts
OF the ship this elevated promenade is made the
nerve center of elaborate telephone, telegraph
and signaling systems that afford instantaneous
communication with the engine and fire rooms

Near the bridge of a battleship is the wireless
telegraph station which is one of the newer yet
easily one of the most important adjuncts of the
up-to-date battleship. However, the wireless tee-
graph is not used for interior communication
aboard the battleship but solely for the exchange
of messages with other ships and with shore sta
lions. What are sometimes referred to 'tee-
graphs" on shipboard are not telegraphs at all,
as the lay reader understands them, but are
rather signaling systems The most common Of
these communicative systems is that whereby the

COUNTRY AWAKE TO DANGER
Increase Of sanatorla and Hospitals
for consumptlves Is Most
Gratifying.

The growth of the crusade against
tuberculosis in the United States is
shown to good advantage in the two
directories that have been issued by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis and
the one in preparation. The first tu-
berculosis directory published in 1904,
by the tuberculosis committee of the
New York Charity Organization Socle-
ty and the National Association listed
1873 sanatoria and hospitals for con-
sumptives in the United States, for
some Of which preliminary provision
only has been made. The combined
capacity of these institutions was only
5000 beds. Thirty-two special dis
pensaries and thirty-nine anti-tubercu-
losis organizations summed up prac-
tically all Of the fighting force emu.
merated in the first directory. The
second directory was prepared by the
National Association for the study and
Prevention of tuberculosis and pub
lished under the auspices Of the Rus
sell Sage Foundation in August, 1908.
This directory listed 240 sanatoria and
hospitals, an increase of 107 from the
former directory; 1853 dispensaries, an
Increase Of 1875; and 1876 associations,
an increase Of 156. The number of
hospital beds listed in 1908 was 14,014.
The new directory that will be Is
sued soon, will list over 400 sanatoria
and hospitals with a bed capacity Of
nearly $4,000. more than 200 special
tuberculosis dispensaries; and fully
$50 anti-tuberculosis associations and
committees. Since the first directory
was issued in 1904, the increase in
the number of agencies fighting con-
sumption aggregates nearly 500 per
cent.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
would like to get in touch with all
agencies engaged in the fight against
tuberculosis, in order that they may
be listed in the new directory.

and white lights, and there Is the elecric cOrch
for unofficial messages
The American navy has been the most sue
cessful military organization, from its very incep
ton, which the world has ever seen. That is
pretty broad statement, but 1t is absolutely uae'
There are good reasons for this.
In the early days we were commercial people.
We were natural sailormen. Our people hVeo
along the shores. They made their money IN
commercial pursuits. The men who commanded
merchant ships were not only good sailors; they
we're good merchants, and the foundations Tor
many of the great fortunes of this country nave
come from that source. In order to protect them-
selves they were obliged to go armed Thelr
ships were armed as were privateers In time OF
war The result is that they not only knew naVi-
CATION, but they knew gunnery, and combined
with these qualities the intelligence which makes
great merchants.
Naturally, when those men came into positions
where they commanded men-ofUar, they were
equal to the occasion, although they hhd had no
naval training AS time went on they acquired
naval training so that in the later wars, In the
early part of the nineteenth century they met
every requirement, and in the recent wars the
graduates of the Naval academy have been equal
to every duty which BIAS been imposed upon
them They have made record of which every
American citizen should be proud.
The American saorman has always been EN-
Client They were good men in the time OF the
Revolution competent men In the time of the
war of 1872 They are better men today than they
we're in those days, because today 95 per cent. OF
them are American citizens and not man is
shipped in the American navy who has not de-
clared his intention TO become citizen. Twenty
five years ago not more than 30 per cent OF our
men-of.wars men were American citizens.
The American navy has been successful be-
cause our ships have always been as good ships
as any that were built in the world Our merchant
men in the Revolutionary times, and down TO
the Civil war were the best merchant ships sail
ing the seas. They were, no doubt the best
manned aud they made the fastest time. During
the period OF wooden ships, when we built men
of-war they were of the same general character
our men-of-war. gun for gun, were equal to, and
probably superior to those of any other nation

The Reward Of Obedience.

The Joy of Christ dwells in those
who do his will. AS it was the Joy
and satisfaction of Christ to do the
Fathers will, so it is the joy and meat
Of the Christian to do Christ's will.
Those who love him keep his COM
mandments. Their obedience is sun
shine and music, for their hearts
prompt 1t. They serve Christ not as
his slaves, but as his friends. His
will has become their will. Their obo-
dience is perfect freedom. His Joy
is fulfilled in them. When we have
made Christs will ours We become
fearless, strong elastic and tireless.
Unrest is gone. for his viii is our
peace. Small duties and great are all
blended In one deep harmony. Every
department OF life's activity Is flooded
with beauty and gladness,
