GREATEST OF GERM KILLERS
Nothing Has Yet Been Devised That
Can Do the Work That Is Done
by the Sun.

The old sun Is the best germ killer
of them all. You remember how they
used to-and do yet-expose the
bright dairy pans and cans to the
suns rays. But a few appreciate ex-
actly the work done by the sun in
this regard. Probably only those
who are acquainted with tests which
have actually been made realize how
quickly sunshine kills disease germs
exposed to it.
This is the tests scientists used to
prove that the sun kills germs: A
mass of tuberculosis material, which
was proved to contain uncountable
numbers OF virulent tubercle bacilli,
was obtained from a t~uberculous COW
and spread in thin smooth translucent
layers on sheets of glass, pieces OF
wood and strips OF muslin. Some were
placed outdoors where the sun could
shine on them. and an equal number
were placed in a dark room.
After 80 minutes exposure in the
sun no living tubercle bacilli could be
found; every test that could be made
proved that they were all dead.
The specimen kept In a dark room
proved TO contain fully virulent, living
tubercle bacilli after 80 days. The
contrast is remarkable, tubercle ba-
cilli of the same kind, on the same
kind of material, dying in a smaller
number of minutes in the sunshine
than the number of days they re-
NAMED alive in n dark room.

On the march the whole outfit, weigh

special carriage. Part OF the equip
ment is a launching frame, which
guides the rocket ct the time of It's
flight from the ground. The vehicle
is equipped with n range finder. Arriv-

range finder determines the direction

to be started on its journey. The
gyroscope is set spinning by means
OF n weighted cord. which is unwound
from the shaft of that device. With
this little wheel spinning the rocket
Is ready for its trip aloft.
The rocket Is ignited electrically by
means OF n light cable from n distance

REFORM IN SURGERY
Matter of Slow Growth THROUGH.
out the Centuries.
Practitioners Were Slow 70 Abandon
the Barbarous Methods Which Had
Been So Long In Use-Some
Queer Remedies.

In 1886 a great reform in the treat
ment of gunshot wounds was made by
Ambrose Pare, the father of French
surgery. For some i~nscrutable reason
such wounds had previously been re.
garded as infected and therefore in
need OF cauterization with boiling oil
or water. Once, in the absence of
these antiseptics. Pare simply dressed
some wounds without cauterizing
them. and on the following day he
was agreeably surprised to find them
in better conditions than wounds that
had been treated with boiling oil.
Thenceforth he abandoned and OPP
posed the barbarous practice. Soon
afterwards he devised the ligature of
arteries as a substitute for cauteriza-
ton after the amputation of limbs.
Bold and successful methods OF
LESSONS were adopted by Berenger de
Carpi a little later.
The advancement OF the healing art,
however. was slow, and many queer
remedies were employed, such as
broths made of vipers and frogs,
tise published in 1878.
General Marriott has described the
heroic treatment applied to his foot.
in which gangrene had developed
after il had been frozen on the battle
field OF Eylau. He vas held by four
men while the surgeon cut out the
gangrened parts as if he we're remov.
ing decayed portions OF an apple. The
urgeo hen mounted a chair, satu-
rated a sponge with hot, sweetened
wine and let the liquid fall, drop by
drop, into the hole which he had ex.
cavated. The pain was e~xcruciating,
and the general had to endure it every
morning and night for a week, but
his leg vas saved.
In the Crimean war $4,000 of the
French army of 100000 men died OF
anthrax, scurvy, typhus INT hospital
infection. Death followed 81 per cent
of amputations of the thigh and %
per cent of amputations of the arm
The physicians and surgeons did their
best. but they were too few, and the
organization and equipment were de
fective. In May. 1855, there were only
rs ambulance and field hospital sur
geons for an army OF 10S 900 men
Similar conditions prevailed in the

so that even if he were able to work
20 hours continuously. he could mo-
