ELECTRICITY AFTER WAR.

Much attention is being given to
the investigation and recommends
tions of the committee appointed by
the board of trade of Bradford, Eng
land, to report upon the possibilities
Of extending and interconnecting
various sources Of supply and provid-
ing economical and convenient cleo
trio power for British industries. 1t
is suggested that a national power
distribution system is as important
as national railway, road, telegraph
and telephone systems, and stress is
laid upon the advisability of insur-
ing that there shall be an adequate
and economical supply of power for
all classes of consumers in the
United Kingdom, particularly indus
tries that depend upon cheap sup
ply OF power for their development.
The intercOmmunication of existing
municipal electric plants and the es-
tabllshment of central generating
stations are among the questions now
being given practical attention.

WORLDS DEBT TO AMERICANS
Benefieent Uses of Nitrous Oxide Gas
and Ether Were Discovered by
Yankee Dentists.

Surgical anesthesia term means
that abolition of sensation, either 10.
cal or general, which enables the sur
geOn to perform an operation with.
out pain to the patient. We of the
present day have little conception OF
the horror Of surgical operation 60
or 20 years ago-the amputation of
leg or an arm, for example-per-
formed without an anesthetic. Nor
is it advisable to let our imagination
attempt to picture tive can let our
thoughts dwell on pleasanter topics.
From the earliest times in the his
tory of medicine there are records of
attempts to deaden the pain of the
knife. In their efforts to relax
spasm and to dull sensation, sur
geons gave tobacco, opium and alco-
hol internally, and applied balsams
and volatile oils locally-poor make
shifts all. Not until the middle of
the nineteenth century did anyone
discover a real surgical anesthetic.
For this boon the world is indebted
to two American dentists-to DR..
Horace Wells in 1874 for the use of
nitrous oxide gas, and to DR.. Will
liam T. G.. Morton in 1846 for the
use of ether. In 1847 Sir James
Simpson of Edinburgh introduced
chloroform, and in the same year a
German named Heyfelder employed
ethyl chloride. All these, given by
inhalation. induce unconsciousness
and with it the loss of all sensation.
