Oil Magnate Adopts Plan to Minimize
Dancer Of FORGERY.

1t developed the other day that John
D. Rockefeller, the oil magnate. has
been taking remarkable precautions of
late to prevent the forgery Of his Sig
nature. For years he used to sign his
own checks and letters. Now he does
not write his name unless it is abso-
'utely necessary, leaving the signing to
his secretaries.
This is shown by the practice at his
big Pocantico Hills estate, near Tarry-
town, N. Y. Mr.. Rockefeller signs one
draft sufficiently large to cover the
running expenses of all departments
for the month. This is checked out as
needed by the various superintendent.

Years of investigation by noted sur

patient have apparently been reward.
ed. Electricity has come to the relief
of the surgeon, and Investigations CO.
Ing on In Philadelphia and abroad, just
made public, show that electricity is
far superior to any of the drugs now
used to produce analgesia.
This discovery, if confirmed by flu
ture Investigations, as is confidently
expected, will mean a revolution of
modern methods of surgery. Persons
suffering from diseases that call for
operations, but who cannot get relief
through danger OF death If put under
ether or chloroform, can be cured, for
electricity when used as an anaes-
thetic has no bad effect on the heart.
It produces state of insensibility
by acting on the nerve centers of the
brain that is called 'selectric Sleep"
electric current is opened the influence
Is Immediately lost and the patient be-
comes conscious without feeling any of
the after effects common with drug
anaesthetics.
Brings Dead to Life.
Not only has electricity been found
of service in surgical cases, but, &C.
cording to preliminary communications
recently submitted to medical journals
by leading physicians, it can be used
for resuscitating elecrocuted animals.
The investigators are confident that
II this idea is developed it will be only
a short time before it will be possible
to resuscitate human beings who have
been electrocuted.
To Stephane Leduc Of Naples the
medical profession is indebted for the
comprehensive study of electric Sleep"
He has conducted numerous expert
ments on animals, most Of them being
very successful, and other investigators
are following in his footsteps.
In the United States the chief in
yestigator In this field has been a
woman doctor of New York city, DR..
Louise g. Robinovitch. DR.. Robino-
witch has performed some Of the most
delicate operations known to surgery
with electricity as her anaesthetic
and has been very successful. All her
operations have been on animals, the
work being still too much in the ex-
perimental stage to be used freely on
human beings.
To Be Used In Hospital.
Some Of the operations she has sue
cessfully performed are trepanning
within exposure Of the brain, exposure
Of the large arteries of the neck and
operations calling for abdominal sec
tions. She has found that electricity
can be used in operations that are
either local or internal and with equal
success.
In some cases when it is used local
~ the patient is awake and can see
the operation, as when stovaine is
used, without experiencing any pain.
At the Philadelphia General hospital
the city will shortly procure the nee
essary apparatus to be used to produce
the electric sleep" and will conduct a
series Of exhaustive Investigations. DR..
Mihran Krikor sabian, director of
the Roentgen ray laboratory at the
Philadelphia hospital, is now engaged
on this work with DR.. Solomon Soils

New Orleans, March 29.-Unspeak-

Chamorro declared that wealthy
