SAVING THE SOLDIER
WONDERFUL ACCOMPLISHMENTS
OF MODERN SURGERY.
German System SO Perfect That oos.
perately Wounded Men Are Re.
stored TO Service In Compare
lively Short Time.

With their characteristic thorough
ness the Germans have set themselves
TO the task OF saving every wounded
soldier sent back from the front who
is not beyond their aid. They are ac'
complishing wonderful results ana
thousands OF disabled soldiers are
soon restored to health and sent back
to the firing line, who might have per
ished miserably were 1t not for the
scientific management of German hos
pital work.
There is no neglect OF the wounded.
From the time man is hurt on the
battlefield until he is installed IN
hospital, perhaps far away from the
scene Of hts injury, all that could
possibly be done for him before he
reaches the hospital has been accom-
plished by skilled hands and when he
reaches his destination competent
surgeons, who specialize in the kind
OF wound he has received, begin the
Gnal work of healing. Instead OF being
the most common operation in war
surgery, amputation is not practiced
now, except as the last resort. ANTI
septic treatment has so minimized the
danger Of infection that the most des-
perately wounded soldiers are saved
and dismissed from the hospitals with
their full complement of limbs.
Not only are German surgeons do
Ing splendid work, but American
French, English and Austrian sur
geons are every day performing re
markable operations. Recently an op'
Grafton was performed by Prof Albert
Tietze on a soldier who had a serious
wound in his head. After a large frag'
ment of shell had been removed the
X-rays showed that a small piece OF
shell remained. Professor Tietze said
this particle could not safely be left
In the skull because it might become
dislodged in future years and cause
Instant death.
1t was suggested that a magnet be
used to draw out the splinter. There
was no instrument of the sort avail
able, but engineers of the telegraphic
division soon made an electro-magnet.

Orchids in a Skull,

At the international flower show in
New York the most interesting exhibit
was a moth orchid growing in hui
man skull The skull is that Of an
old tribal chief of the Philippine
Islands, who was killed forty years
ago by Guanu, a SURFACE chief. for
stealing one of the latter's wives
Guanu kept the skull as trophy un.
til his death, when it was placed upon
Guanu's grave as tombstone. An
orchid took root and as the flower
bloomed it was zealously guarded by
the natives, who thought the orchid
was the spirit Of the chief. In the
year 1902 a traveller passing through
the village saw the freak, stole it
from the natives and sent it to a for
list. The expansion of the roots had
caused the frontal bone to crack. The
roots extend down through the skull.

GOOD WORD FOR THE BIRDS
Beautiful, and Useful in Their De-
strueton Of Much Insect Life
That Is Harmful.

The warm weather has brought the
birds again. Their chirping and sing
ing make morning symphony the like
of which can be heard from no trained
orchestra. They dot the landscape with
a beauty that no artistic skill can
rival. They are beautiful, useful in
their destruction of harmful insect
pests and aid us nightly in appreciat-
ing the JOY of living.
Now. then, is a good time for re-
newed appeal for the lives and we'll
being of birds.
The best instincts of the human race
are devoted to the saving of all kinds
of life, and sanction the taking of life
only when such destruction serves a
purpose useful to mankind.
This cannot be urged in the case Of
the birds. For the most part they are
not food animals. The higher intelli-
gence and spiritualism of humanity
should bring about concerted move
ment for small bird protection.

Bad Opera Kills Good Hound.

Held before canned music II. :.
chine, a big collie belonging to Miss
Jane Detrick of New Market, Md, was
called to dog heaven. The dog died
in an hour after being forced to lis
ten to the music. Miss Detrick had
just purchased the machine and was
trying it out, with a seven-dollar grand
opera record, made by several great
singers. She wanted her pet to hear
the music and held the animal before
the instrument. The dog whined pite-
ously and finally wriggled from the
arms of his mistress.
After getting loose the collie raced
through the house, chewing its paws.
Thinking that the dog had gone mad,
Miss Detrick sent for a veterinarian,
who announced that the dog, which
was a high-strung animal, had died
from excitement and fright.

Edison Batteries for Submarines.


The disabling of the submarine F-4

which at present writing has not been
ascertained has led to the surmise
that some trouble might have been
experienced with the batteries. Should
sea water have come into contact
with the sulphuric acid of the bat.
teries, chlorine gas would have been
generated. OF course sulphuric acid
is not the only electrQlyte that need
be used in storage batteries. The
Edison battery, for instance, uses a
potash solution which gives off no
poisonous gases when coming into
contact with sea water Public inter

an incident about party named Pat.
Some time ago Pat was taken to a

removed, but it was several days be-
fore the patient could distinguish the
adjoining scenery.
"How about it now, Pat?" said the
doctor coming into the room one aft

any?"
Sure, doctor, an they are thot,"
was the glad response of Pat.

ABOUT ORNAMENTAL TREES

Ornamental trees and shrubs may
be pruned any time during the winter
If they need it. Bear in mind that
pruning should not destroy the char.

If blooming shrubs are continually
