RECENT ADVANCES IN
SURGERY ILLUSTRATED.
New Method of Trepannins-Improv
Method for Blood TRANSMISSION.

Boston, Oct. 26.-Recent advances in
surgery were illustrated in hospitals
here today in connection with the ses-
sions of the clinical congress of sur
geons of North America. A new meth
cd of trepanning the skull. a perfected
operation for cataract and an improved
system of blood TRANSMISSION were
among the features of today's clinics.
DR.. Harvey Gushing of this city per-
formed the trepanning operation,
which. it is claimed, obviates the ne
cessity of inserting metal plates in the
skull.
In transfusing the blood of healthy
person to the veins of a patient it is
no longer necessary for the two to be
together. according to another opera
ton demonstrated today. The blood of
the healthy person was placed in a
wax-lined tube and at the surgeons
convenience conducted to the veins of
the patient. This method, it was point
ed out. means facility of operating, no
destruction to the radial artery of the
healthy person, no danger of blood
clotting while operating and the pos
SibiHty of exactly measuring the
amount of blood to be transfused.
Improvements made in operating
upon cataracts. it was said, reduce the
time Of the patients blindness, because
it is now no longer necessary for the
victim to wait for the cataract to
'ripen," a process that sometimes re-
quires several years.

RUMoRS OF A FRENCH
CREDIT IN NEW YORK
Between $1o.ooo,ooo and $4,000. .Ooo-
Solely for Munitions.

New York. Oct 96.-Wan Street to-
day heard, on seemingly good author
ity, that preparations had been al
most completed for the establishment
of a French credit in this city of from
$10,000,000 to $15,000,000.
According to reports current in the
financial section, the sum was to be
used solely for the payment of muni-
tions shipped from this country for
the account of France. What form
the credit would take was not divulged
but it was thought that it would be
in the form of acceptances which could
be discounted by member banks Of
the federal reserve. II so, such ac-
counts probably would run for ninety
days with privilege of renewal.

with Japanese vessels whose crews are

American Capital Shy.
TT is not strange the report con-
tinues, that American capital has dis
played little inclination to embark
upon shipping ventures which the gov
ernment promised not to oppose with
uneconomic competition. This alone
was sufficient deterrent, but in the
midst of the agitation another unfa-
vorable policy was introduced by thS
enactment Of the seaman's law, which
in its present shape virtually places
upon American ships alone in foreign
trade burdens in excess to those found
in the maritime legislation of any ma.
tion with which American ships arr
expected to compete"
