order to keep the objective lens point

small gyroscope is provided. 1t is
said that the maximum turning move

that the swing does not exceed an arc
of one degree.

handled by the camera, and pictures

special carriage. Part Of the equip
ment is a launching frame, which
guides the rocket at the time of its
flight from the ground. The vehicle
is equipped with range finder. Arriv.
ing at the point of operations the
range finder determines the direction
and the angle at which the rocket is
to be started on its journey. The
gyroscope is set spinning by means
of a weighted cord, which is unwound
from the shaft of that device. With
this little wheel spinning the rocket
is ready for it's trip aloft.
, The rocket is ignited electrically by
means Of light cable from distance
of 800 feet. The initial discharge cuts
loose the heavy weight, which sets
the gyro spinning. The second cleo.
trical impulse ignites the rocket

the ground first, and by thus light

camera descends slowly so that it
can be either caught or brought to
rest on the earth without jar.
The whole affair presents but a

will look just like croquettes. The
most successful frosting and the east

a cupful of flour all at once, cook and,
stir until it leaves the sides of the

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

In 1886 great reform in the treat.
ment of gunshot wounds was made BY
AMBROSE Pare, the father of French
surgery. For some inscrutable 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 op.
posed the barbarous practice. Soon
afterwards he devised the ligature OF
arteries as substitute for cauteriza-
ton after the amputation of limbs.
Bold and successful methods Of
treating wounds of the head and brain
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,
which are mentioned in a medical trea-
tise published in 177S.
General Marriott has described the
heroic treatment applied to his foot,
in which gangrene had developed
after it had been frozen on the battle
field of Eylau. He was held by four
men while the surgeon cut out the
gangrened parts as if he were remov-
ing decayed portions of an apple. The
surgeon then mounted a chair, satu-
rated sponge with hot, sweetened
wine and let the liquid fall, drop by
Drop into the hole which he had ex-
cavated. The pain was excruciating,
and the general had to endure it every
morning and night for a week, but
his leg was saved.
In the Crimean war $4,000 of the
French army of 100000 men died of
anthrax, scurvy, typhus and hospital
infection Death followed 81 per cent
of amputations of the thigh and SIS
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
IS ambulance and field hospital sur
geons for an army of 100000 men.
Similar conditions prevailed in the
Italian campaign 1S59-1s6O). At Ma
genta each ambulance surgeon had
ITS wounded men to care for. At Sol
ferino each surgeon had 500 patients,
so that even If he were able to work
20 hours continuously, he could not
give three minutes to each patient.
The Crimean and Italian campaigns
proved the necessity Of radical
change in military surgery. This
transformation has gradually been &C.
complished, both in the administrative
and in the medical and surgical fields.

The railway and the automobile have
facilitated the transport of the wound
ed and ameliorated it's attendant con-
ditions. Antiseptic methods have
greatly diminished mortality and has
tened cure. In large armies, however,
the wounded may still, at times, be
too numerous to be properly treated.
Important progress has been made
during the present war, but still fur
