Moss for Wounds.

All Americans and other tourists
who have visited Scotland and the
north of England have waxed en-
thusiastic over the beautiful coloring
of the moors and mountains which
present to the eye a riot Of tints-
pink, crimson, yellow, green and rus
set. This is furnished by sphagnum
moss with which, literally, the coun-
tryside is carpeted, for it is as luxuri-
ously soft to the feet as 1t is delight
to the vision.
From an appeal issued by the Aber-
deem Spnagnum moss joint commit
tee 1t appears that this moss is being
furnished in great quantities for sur
lgical dressings by this organization
to the hospitals in Britain, France,
Macedonia, Egypt, Italy, Mesopotamia
and elsewhere. A department for sub
limating these dressings has been es-
tablished and the committee is consid-
ering plan to compress the moss by
machinery into fiat sheets, in which
form it is light and portable and emf
nently suitable for dressing stations,
field ambulances, etc., and for trans
port overseas to distant hospitals
where surgical dressings are sorely
needed.

Grafton that they might be used In tie

dreds of visiting surgeons at the Patho-

ical college at Philadelphia.
Unearthed In volcano smotAeFed Her
culaneum, they are in almost perfect
condition, beautifully fashioned. etched
and carved instruments Of bronze, for
the surgeons of the ancient Roman en-
pire evidently were artists - well -
healers.
The remarkable fact for the visit
ing surgeons was that the instruments
are in mechanical way singularly ike
the most modern instruments applled
to similar uses-modern instruments
whose perfection has been gained only
after centuries Of study and improve
ment. The ancient instruments are
much more complex In their operation
than those Of modern times, but have
been made and adapted to particular
uses with wonderful ingenuity. There
are number Of instruments used for
genealogical work and to aid In
births, and an equipment Of scissors,
forceps for various uses, lances and
knives.
One famous surgeon from the West
examined the specimens very carefully
and admiringly declared that II the In
Struments were refurbished ane
cleaned and sharpened he would not
be afraid to perform an operation with
them even at this day. IT think these
instruments over 1900 years old are
better than the instruments In use By
physicians 200 years ago." he said.

Keen Sight Of the Gull.

There Is perhaps no other bird Of
land or sea SO keen of sight as the COM
mon gull. To convince a skeptical
friend OF this an American naturalist
once made some interesting expert
ments- Two men were passengers On
steamer making twenty miles an
hour. A dozen gulls followed them In
the steamers wake without apparent
effort and circled In graceful curves
over the water. Breaking q cracker
biscuit into four parts. less than an
inch square each, the naturalist hand
ed one piece to his friend and told him
to drop It into the seething watsrs on
the starboard.
Immediately the bit Of biscuit became
invisible to human eyes. and ret BE-
fore 1t had gone thirty yards astsrn
gull detected It and. dipping into the
foam, secured It One by one II picked
up the other bits Of biscuit. thouxh
neither of the two men could see them
Tearing OF postage stamp from an
old envelope the naturalist dropped Il
overheard. The gull detected the wait
and made as II to pick 1t up. But when
within yard or SO of It the bird saw
that 1t was nothing In his line and
glided upward again to his favorite
station on . line with the topmost
truck.
