BERLIN. Nov. 26.-(special TO The Bee)
Several OF our surgeons here have ex-
perimented much with bloodless surgery
and, reports have IT, with much success.
The results OF their work in that direction
will soon be published. Some OF tho re-
suits are said to be almost marvellous.
with the usual conservation Of Germans,
they have refrained from declaring the sys-
TEN a finality.
Surgical operations without boodshed are
the latest triumphs of electrical science.
he discoverer is Or. +. Nagelschmidt,
who has demonstrated it to the Royal So
ciety Of Medicine The advantages claimed
| are that the operation can now be per-
formed without blood being split, as the
passage of this type OF electricity through
! the diseased tissue coagulates all the al
! bumen In the blood and tissues, and pre-
vents the blood from flowing This Will be
particularly useful, it is stated, in the case
| Of large cancers on the surface OF the
| body, and particularly in the type called
zen Cuirasse," The current that the doctor
uses is a distinct modification Of the ordi-
nary high-frequency electricity. 1t is ap-
/ Dlleu as 1QllOWbs Two wires lehQ from the
generator to two electrodes. These are
placed on each side Of the part to be
operated upon. and the flow of blood in the
region between the two electrodes is
stopped. All blood and tissue contain a
very large proportion Of albumen-a sub
stance similar to the white of egg-and
this the current coagulates so that the
| flow of blood Is arrested.

The Berlin police are searching for a
young fellow who called himself Charles
Juller, buyer for an American jewery firm,
and who, 1t is said, has represented him
self to be the son-in-law of Theodore
Roosevelt 1t is alleged that a wealthy res
dent OF this city paid MI Juller $500 marks
in Amsterdam for jewels which, he says, he
saw sealed on package When he opened
the package, he declares It contained only
soap. He reported the matter to the po-
lice, and when he received a letter from
Amsterdam In which Mr.. Jullsr' re-
quested a loan Of 400 marks, the money TO
be sent to the postoffioe in the Tauben-
strasse, this city. the police watched all
day there. No one, however appeared
for the letter, the dispatch OF which is sup
posed to have been a ruse.
Police system Satisfactory
Herr Won Jagow, the chief of police, has
returned from London quite unconvinced
OF the reputed superiority OF British po-
lice methods over those which obtain Ia
Germany. He declares that after visiting
England he realizes that when people
speak OF Prussian police tyranny it is moth
ing but empty talk Prussian subjects, he
declares, enjoy in many respects more per-
sonal liberty than English. BY way Of
illustrating this statement. Herr Won Jagow
cited the compulsory closing OF licensed
houses at the hour OF 1880. excIaiming:
What would happen in Berlin IL the res
taurants, cafes and other public resorts
were compulsOrly closed half an hour after
midnight?"
Chief Jagow has drawn up an elaborate
report concerning his trip and what he
learned. 1t is not thought he will make
any changes.
Such good results are daily being OBJ
tanned by the employment Of police hounds
that the authorities have decided to in
crease the number OF hounds for use in
connection with the police force No fewer
than 10 policemen have volunteered to
{ take a three-months course OF instruction
