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

Surgical anesthesia term means
that abolition of sensation, either To-
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 70 years ago-the amputation Of
a 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 DIR. Will
liam T. G. Morton in 1916 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 Inconsistencies
and with it the loss of all sensation.

more about food than she ever knew
before, says an exchange.
Not long ago most Of us were con-
WINGED that cornmeal dishes were out
of place in summer. We believed
they were "heating:" The experts
have declared to the contrary. Now
they want us to eat more cheese, and
they assure US that we can partake
of this nourishing food in generous
quantities without any disarrange-
ment of the digestive tract.
A pound of cheese supplies more
than twice as much energy as a
pound of fowl or of round steak, and
almost twice as much protein as the
same amount of fowl or ham. 1t is
accordingly cheaper food than
meats, and it is palatable and whole
some. We shall be the gamers if we
forget some Of the comic paper jokes
about Welsh rarebit and begin to par
take of the cheese as a real food and
not merely as an annatizer

ELECTRICITY AFTER WAR.

Much attention is being given to
the investigation and recommended
tons 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 ACCESSIBILITY 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 a cheap sup
ply of power for their development.
The INSTRUMENTATION of existing
municipal electric plants and the es-
tablishment of central generating
stations are among the questions now
being given practical attention.

UNCLE SAM AS TRUCK USER
Government Introduces standardlza-
ton Which Is Expected TO Dc q
BID Value to Industry.

The fact that Uncle Sam mas
standardized his trucks, so that any
MART broken in action may be re-
placed by similar part taken from
another truck, does not necessarily
mean that the most efficient delivery
system can be obtained only by the
use of fleet of trucks identical IN
model and design, says II. W. slau-
son. in Leslie's. 1t does mean, how
ever. that there must be at least
certain standardization Of methods
and a certain interchangeability OF
parts which will enable each truck
to spend its actual time in the most
effective service.
What the truck industry has need
ed most has been a standardized sys-
TEN of truck installation, operation
and cost keeping. Without such a
system it is impossible to determine
whether a truck or feet of trucks
is operating at its maximum effi-
cheney or whether an improvement
of some SO or even 100 per cent In
effectiveness could be made by a
change here or an elimination OF
waste effort there. Now, however, it
seems probable that this deficiency
is to be changed, and that Uncle
Sam, as the worlds greatest truck
user, will evolve a truck system
which will prove Of intestimable
benefit to every user of trucks be-
fore, and during, as well as after the
war.

REMINDED OF GRANDFATHER

Justice Pendleton of the New
York supreme court was examining
applicants for citizenship recently
when band in the park began play
ing "The Star Spangled Banner"
1t was written by Francis Scott Key,
Justice Pendleton's grandfather.
The justice turned his head toward
the window, and the hubbub in the
court ceased. Then the justice rose
to his feet, and the men who we're
seeking the right to take the flag as
their own rose with him. Everybody
faced the flag that was draped on the
courtroom wall. Not a soul moved
until the music ceased. Then the
justice bowed and resumed his seat,
and the work of making citizens
went on again.

MINERS LONG IN SERVICE
Some Diggers Have Been Working I'm
derground for More Than Sixty
Years, the Records Show.

Some interesting facts on longev-
ty among coal miners have been
compiled by the anthracite bureau Of
information in Wilkesbarre. The
recent retirement from active serv-
ICE of W. D. Owens, superintendent
Of the Lackawanna division of the
Lehigh Valley Coal company, serves
to call attention to the number of
workers who have filed out long ca
reers in the anthracite mines. Owens
has served as foreman and superin-
fendent for 80 years, and, although
he has turned over the active duties
Of his position to his successor, is to
remain with the company in an ad-
visory capacity.
A few weeks ago occurred the
Heath Of John T. Williams of Lans-
ford, a pioneer miner in the Panther
Creek valley. He was seventy-fve
years old, and had spent 81 years as
an employee in the mines, and had
been with the Lehigh Coal and Nav
igation company for IS years. Dur
ing the last year, because Of deaths
in his family, Thomas Parry of Mes
lueehoning decided to move from
The anthracite field to make his home
With a relative. The decision to quit
the mines came after period of
50 years had elapsed since he first
commenced work in them as a boy.
4 long stretch of time marks the
service period Of Robert r. Smiles of
Pittston, who lately resigned his po-
7ition with the Pennsylvania Coal
company after being continuously
employed for 81 years. Smiles be-
gan work as a report boy, and had
filed most of the positions in and
about the mines. For "a years he
had been continuously employed as
an engineer at one mine.-Provi-

GENERAL KNOWN AS DANCER
Man Who Is Leading italian Drive
upstairs to Vienna" Favorite
Member of Royal Circle.

When the world on this side of the
water reads of General Cadorna's
thrilling onward smashing drive
toward upstairs to Vienna" as the
Italians express it, no one thinks Of
this foremost Italian diplomatist
and soldier as Queen Elena's favo-
rite member of the royal dancing
circle-the man to whom her maj
esty most frequently accords her in
frequent honor of extending her
hand for his kiss. General Cadorna
is accounted the best sixty-seven-
year-old dancer in his country, and
it is whispered that he not infre-
quently even at this time, with all
of his martial cares heavy upon him,
INDUCES in a waltz OF a polka as
half hours recreation. from his
steady strides toward that upstairs

The Countess Cadorna, still love-
ly, was known until far past her ff-
tieth year as famous beauty, and
to this adds the rare gift of tactful-
ness, a fine attribute in its way for
the wife of any man, even though,
as in the present case, he is the idol
of his men for what they account
his greatest charm, ''politeness of the
heart"

A $4,000 MAP.

In the lobby of one of Chicago's
large Office buildings is a huge relief
map of the European countries
where the war RACES, exhibited to the
public and lectured upon by a for
mer war correspondent. The main
map is 10 by 20 feet, but owing to
its convex construction it contains
an area of 800 square feet, says Pop
ular Science Monthly. 1t is a,seg-
ment of a 90-foot globe. 1t was

them nine months to make it. In
Guiding labor and materials, the cost
of the map is estimated to be

lNVENTS NEW MACHINE GUN
Mechanically Operated Loading Device
Keeps Belt Filled, Despite Con-
tinuous Use.

There comes now an inventor with
the significant name of Ford-not
Henry, however-with some start
ling Improvements for the machine
gun, asserts Edward G. Crossman in
the Popular Science Monthly.
The first one is a mechanically OPP
Grated loading machine to keep the
belt of the gun filled all the time re-
gardless of fire and the duration
thereof. The belt loader is operated
by the power of the machine on
which the gun is mounted, this to be
motorcycle, motor tricycle., automo-
bile, airplane or other power vehicle
The second is a circulating water
cooling system, la automobile, in
which the water passes from the
jacket around the gun barrel to a
regular automobile radiator, which
in turn is cooled by a fan driven by
the power that operates the loading
mechanism and which in turn is
merely the power plant of the car. A
centrifugal pump makes the water
move, although it would surely ther.
mosiphon hurriedly if this system
were used instead of the pump.
The third STARTER is the fact thai
the gun is designed to be an integra
part of its carriage, which is a gas
engine propelled vehicle. Perhaps
this idea was borrowed from thu
fighting airplane, in which the ma
chine gun is rigidly mounted to fire
