Local Anesthesia.

A discovery in surgical science
claimed to be the greatest since Lis
ter founded antiseptic surgery, has
been made by Professor Leduc, a
prominent French scientist, and is
now being exhibited in London. The
purpose of the discovery is to render
a patient locally insensible to the pain
Of an operation by applying an cleo.
trio current to the part Of the body
to be operated upon. It's action is
said to be such that even when only
q small amount of current Is applied
needles may be stuck deep into a
mans flesh without his feeling any
sensation of pain whatever. This To-
cal anesthesia consists of a series
of electrical impulses to the number
of 100 to the second, each shock last
ing one-thousandth part OF second.
These brief and rapid galvanic cur
rents coming at regular intervals rem
der the particular part to be oper-
ated on quite insensible to pain with
out producing any i'll effects. The
current is applied by two metal pads
covered with wash feather and made
wet before the operation and pressed
against the flesh. The apparatus
works on voltage Of 60 and for or
binary operations a strength of cur
rent of two milli-amperes Is consider
ed sufficient.

" unable to concentrate ner mine
on her work, she threw aside her PEN
Gil and petulantiy, for Peggy. e1-
claimed: "How can I write love
stories when my own is such puz-
xle!" and her brown eyes filed with
tears.
Throwing herself in big easy
chair, she sank into a deep reVerie
and called two men before her minds
eye.
First, there was Craig Bennett, al
most old enough to be her father, but
a man Of the world, cultured. well
poised, who knew 30 well how to pay
those fattering little attentions so
dear to the womanly heart, and whose
brilliant conversation made him a
welcome dinner guest at the dinner
tables Of many lands-a man OF parts
and money. And then there was blue
eyed Jean Graham, with the good REQ
blood of health and youth staining his
Drowned cheeks and Frightening his
eye, not prone to ready speech, rough
In his manner at times, perhaps,
Judging by the standards Of her little
world, but honest and true. Only q
mechanic, but with wealth OF love
and ambition In his heart a world OF
romance in his young brain, and ten
derness in his toil-hardener hands
and yet
Which would it be?
The door was flung noisify open
and her studio mate, Helen Curtis,
entered; but the quiet figure In the
big chair by the window never
stirred.
Peg, dear, wake up. We've only
time for a cup of tea and bite OF
lunch. Such luck! I've got two tick
cts for the matinee to see Peg O My
Heart" and vigorous shake brought
the dreamer back to earth. ~
All the afternoon they laughed and
cried at the will of the winsome little
star, whose delightful Irish brogue
only gave her lines added piquancy
Peggy Bronson seemed to drink In heI
words. and az the play progressed
her eyes grew tender and her faca
alight with a new happiness.
When the last line had been spoken
and the carIy-headed star refused to
respond to just one more curtain call
it was a happy-faced audience that
filed from the theater. Peggy Bron
son was beaming.
Helen, do you know I agree with
the other Peg-there's nothing 80
sweet as loves young dream"
With roguish glance at the happy
girl beside her, Helen Curtis laughed
and chanted:
Change the name and not the letter
Change for worse and not for better
And Peggy blushed.
A ray of the setting sun, breaking
through the rain-soaked clouds, fell
as a benediction on Peggy's dark hair
as she spied a workman passing by
and joyously called, Jean, oh JeaE,
and as his blue eyes met hers in glad
surprise she murmured softly, Jean
I've just awakened to the glory Oh
loves young dream"

AGAINST HOTEL
ISCOnENGED
Chinese Asks Damages for the
Death of Young Son Through
Elevator Accident

Asking $4,000 damages from the
Alexander Young Building Company
for the death Of his son, who was
killed in the elevator of the Young
hotel on November 13, 1911, All Kwai
Yee Wo, a Chinese merchant, has be-
gun the active prosecution of his suit
before jury in Circuit Judge Dick
ey's court. The hearing probably will
continue several days.
Caught in the narrow space be-
tween the elevator and the elevator
shaft, the little body of the 5-year-old
boy, Lew All KWai, was crushed, the
cage shot upward from the first floor,
the mangled corpse falling into the
basement The accident occurred at

not asking pecuniary assuagement for
the grief and anguish caused to him
self and family by the boys death,
but sought damages from a purely
commercial standpoint. He said they
would endeavor to show that the
chances favored a longevity of more
than so years for the boy; that from
Ii to 81 years of age, as his fathers
servant under the law, he would have
become increasingly valuable until he
attained majority, and thereafter
would be worth something to the par

Mould Make Many Changes on
Line of Speed Laws of
Wisconsin

-
Almost ready now to be introduced
before the board Of supervisors. P. L
Weaver. first deputy city and county
attorney, Is completing traffic Law
for Oahu which is reported to be by
far the best ever written for Homo
lulu Many Of its provisions are based
on the Wisconsin speed laws. which
are known over the country for their
success
For weeks Attorney Weaver has
been working on this ordinance. 1t
viii call forNmany changes in regu.
lating the speed OF vehicles, their
right Of way, etc One Of the promi.
|nent features is that the law calls for
but one front light for an automobile
in place of two. and the speed of the
machine while travelling at night is
regulated by the distance this light
will show an object the size of man
In front Of the machine.
There are other features Of the or,
dinance. discussed by Attorney Wea.
yer in an interview appearing below.
To his mind, one Of the most inpor.
tant changes he plans to make in the
present law relates to the right Of
way. He fixes one simple rule, apply,
ing at all places over the island II
is called the left and right rule. /"
The following is his interview:
VIII BE Improvement
The police department has pro
posed a number Of changes to the
present ordinance. many of which !
have already drawn up All of them,
Il believe. will be an Improvement on
the present law. NJ
"The present law is very complete
in certain respects, and we can learn
nothing more from the study of other
ordinances where the general rules
Of the road are set forth, except those
in which experience has proved that
some alterations should be made.
I have made thorough study OF
ordinance IL. with the improvements
proposed by the police department.
In my proposed ordinance about all
these suggestions. win be included,
many of which have alreaSv been
preDared by me after study Of other
ordinances. ~
"Our ordinance is defective in not
requiring more rigid qualifications for
persons driving automobiles. Such
persons should be in all respects
able-bodied with good eyesight and
hearing.
Another defect is the way the
speed of automobiles running at night
is limited. propose to COPY a sys-
tenn by which the automobiles must
be regulated according to the distance
which the front lights of the vehicle
will show on the road in front of the
machine. This seems to me a more
logical method than any limit of
actual speed. s
Il have noted that the old ordinance
is not sufficiently specific as to how
the number on an automobile is to be
placed and kept where it is visible
when running under road conditions
