the other. the upper and lower containing
the orange juice, wine or whatever pleas
ant liquid you may prefer. The middle
one contains the medicine. The two
partitions are movable and must be ad-
justed to rest upon the liquid so as to
leave no air spaces. These partitions are
pierced with oblique grooves that make
it impossible for the liquid in one COM
partment to pass into another except by
flowing horizontally. This prevents the
liquids from mixing.
When you raise it to your lips. you
drink first the contents of the upper
compartment; when this is almost empty,
the contents of the middle compartment
begin to flow, and when this has gone,
the lowest compartment gives out its con-
tents in turn.

BAFfLINGThE FORGER

The suggestion has Just been made
that in future, with a view to guard
against fraud, artists should stamp their
works with their finger prints. The idea
emanates from Professor Bordas, to
whom II was suggested by noticing that
In a landscape by ,Vollon the artist had
accidentally left a fnger-print in the
sky. The professor mentioned his sug-
gestion to a number of eminent artists,
including Rodin, Harpignies. Bonnat,
and Allouard. all OF whom pronounced
It good. To make It complete. all that
would be necessary for the artist to do
would be to register his hnger-print.

The pomponette holds twice as much

be drained at one draught. However,
there is no difficulty in this connection

How to Detect
AduIterated
Food

IT is almost certain that the present &C.
cason will be seized upon by some
people to adulterate foodstuffs. In
certain directions prices tend to be rather
high: the authorities are much engaged;
now is a real opportunity for those who
practice this crime against the commun-
ity.
Alum may be freely used in bread to
hide inferior or badly-damaged -four. 1t
Is easy to find out whether this harmful
ingredient is present by soaking sample
of the bread in a solution Of tincture OF
logwood. obtainable from any chemist.
II the least trace of alum is present the
bread turns blue; II none has been added
the color is bright pink.
Salt is often used in comparatively
large quantities to make the bread take
up as much moisture as possible. This.
of course, adds to the weight, without
in any way increasing the food-value.
Milk is, Of course. easily adulterated
with water. but 1t is a simple matter to
detect the fraud. Secure stoutish knit
ting-needle which is very bright and
plunge this into the milk. II large
drop forms on the end and hangs for a
considerable time We may feel sure that
II the milk runs down the needle quickly
and does not form a lasting drop it Is
probably "watered" article.
Butter should always be closely
watched. OF course. good margarine Is
a very wholesome food and is quite all
right, but 1t is a shame to sell this as
dairy butter and charge accordingly.
Here Is a very simple test which is quite
reliable Take a small portion Of the
article about the size of a pea. Place
this in an iron spoon and hold over
sasburner. Good butter bubbles quietly
with a great deal Of froth: margarine or
worked-up butter crackles with noise
resembling that which is experienced
when a green stick Is held over a fire.

Surgeon Sews
Wounded Hearts

A RUSSIAN surgeon named Zeldler re-
~ ports thirty-one patients who recov-
cred from stab wounds Of the heart
in the hospital at Obuchow. Prompt and
rapid operation is the probable reason for
this good showing
The patients were all put under the
influence of ether very soon after the
injury. part Of the chest wall was re-
moved. the heart lifted from its bed, and
the stitches quickly introduced between
pulsations. The bony chest wall over
the heart was not put back in place, that
organ being left covered only by skin
and muscle. This was done to give the
heart room to expand and to prevent
adhesions from embarrassing the hearts
action. Several Of the patients are at
their daily work after seven years since
the operation.

OphthaImic MalIein
Urgedfor Chambers

PECIALISTS Of the United States De-
y partment of Agriculture recommend
the use OF ophthalmic mallein for
the diagnosis OF CHAMBERS. This test, it
Is held. is more accurate, easier Of ap-
plication, and gives results more quickly
than the other methods. At the same
time, the use Of this test does not inter-
fere in doubtful cases with subsequent
serum or simultaneous mallein tests.
In considering the good results OBJ
tanned and the advantages Of this method
OF testing. a concentrated mallein has
been prepared for this purpose by the
Bureau Of Animal Industry. and this was
made available to a number of practicing
veterinarians who desired to give this
method Of testing a thorough trial 1t
mas also been employed by inspectors Of
the Bureau Of Animal Industry In their
Held work. and reports are accessible re-
garding its action for diagnostic pur-
poses on more than $4,000 cases.
The results from all sources were uni
formly satisfactory. Practic;ng veterina-
rians who have given this method a trial
have reported favorably on the results.
and the tests conducted by the bureau
inspectors on several thousand animals
were also satisfactory. The method has
been applied in Washington whenever
possible. and recently in some fmmuniz-
ing tests Of glanders conducted by the
Bureau Of Animal Industry there was a
good opportunity to repeatedly employ
this test. In all these instances the re-
suits were uniformly good. In cases Of
CHAMBERS there appeared q marked puru-
lent conjunctivitis, and the reaction at
times was SO severe that the animal
could not open its tested eye.
The success of the test. the specialists
find, depends upon the degree Of concen-
tration Of the mallein.

A LFRED E. BAWTREE, Of Sutton.
~ England. has invented a machine
on the order of the photograph
which makes bank notes of a special
design call out their exact value. thus
checkmating the forger and proving that
money talks
The apparatus is something like q
small talking machine. through which.
between two metal rollers. the bank
notes are passed. Connected to the ap-
paratus are two eartubes, through which
the bank note can be heard calling out
its value. Put as simply as possible. this
is the idea and system of the invention:

graphed by an ingenious process onto a
film. A picture of five dollars" is q
