ANCIENT ANESTHETICS.
Nepenthe and Other Agents Were Used
by Old Time Surgeons.

Those who imagine that surgical
knowledge began with later genera
tons and that the discovery of chloro-
form revolutionized the science should
read an article published by DIR. j. de
Fenton in the South African Journal
Of Science
Various anesthetizing media and
methods were well known both in an
tiquity and during the middle ages.
Homer mentions the anesthetic effects
Of nepenthe; Herodotus states that the
Scythians obtained similar effects from
the vapors of hemp. produced by
throwing hemp seed on hot stones. A
Chinese physician Of the third century
B. c.. gave his patients preparation
of hemp to make them insensible dur
ing surgical operations.
The most important anesthetic of an
cient and medieval times was. how

DUMBEsT OF ALL ANIMALS.
This Creature Sits on Its Mouth Dur
ing Its Entire Lifetime.


What would you think OF an animal
who sat on his mouth? You would
guess he didn't know very much,
wouldn't you? Neither does he. You
could call him the dumbest OF dumb
animals. In fact, he's so very dumb
that most people don't know he's an
animal at all. He's the sponge
No, not the sponge you are acquaint
ed with-not the bathroom kind That's
just his skeleton. The sponge we're
talking about Is the one that lives I'm
the bottom Of the sea, where he sits all
day on his mouth.
In the beginning he's an egg, which
splits all up in many cells and then
swims around for day or two. Then
there comes dent In one side-that's
his mouth. Soon the sponge stops
swimming and sinks to the bottom,
mouth downward. There he eats and
eats until sometimes he gets to be
three feet tall and as thick as he is
tall
He's covered with jellylike flesh.
When sponge fishermen hunt him to
sell they go out in boats and pull
sponges from the bottom OF the sea
with long handled forks, Then they
put them on the shore to dry After
days the jellylilSe flesh drops off and
the fishermen tramp the sponges with
their feet Then they are considered
clean enough to sell. We really get
