The question, which seems likely to
remain a purely academic one, of
whether it would be justifiable for a
physician to hasten the death Of per-

horrible agony without the doctors aic
has come to the front again. The case
supposed is generally that of an en-
gnieer pinned under wrecked tram
with fire rapidly approaching, and it
is asked: rs the physician justified IN
administering lethal dose of NOR
phine hypodermically? We see no
harm in going a little further into this
dilemma. Given the engineer and his
perilous position, but suppose the ply
sician to have lost his syringe in the
train wreck. Our question is: "Is the

novel method of recovering a
sunken cargo has been adopted by the
United States Steel Company. A large
magnet, 3 1-2 feet in diameter anl
weighing 5000 pounds, has been EN-
Iloyed in raising kegs of nails from 4
barge that was sunk in the Mississippi
river near New Orleans. The magnet
raised five or six kegs at time, or
about a ton at each lift. The az
vantage Of this method was that it
avoided breaking open the kegs, as
would have been the case had a dredge
been used. The magnet is soon to be
used for raising sunken load of wov-
en- wire and also for load of steel
