War Develops the Science
of Constructive Surgery

An intensely interesting development
of war surgery is bone grating. Sur
gerry used always to be destructive. At
the beginning Of the war there were
so many amputations performed that
the cities were filled with cripples. But
now a constructive surgery has devel-
oped, consisting of putting new bones
into old bodies with 30 perfect graft
that the body does not know the diff
ference. For instance, shin bone has
been placed in a cheek to take the
place Of fractured jawbone and soon
became a perfect At. BY the use OF
electrically driven tools graft may be
secured from a tibia in from ten to
fifteen minutes, cut any size and fitted
in a few minutes for any part OF the
body that needs 1t.

BILLIONS WASTED EACH YEAR
That country's Water Power Is So LII
tie Used Is Reflection on citi-
zens' Intelligence.

In the early days Of this country the
grist mill was built where there was
water power, and in time other indus
tries also located there for the same
reason, n. II. Windsor writes in Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. Many Of our
largest manufacturing cities have
grown up around these grist mills. But
SO inaccessible, and the surrounding
country so unfit for agriculture, that
no mills and towns have ever taken
advantage Of the cheapest mill power
known.
Today, thanks to the electric motor,
transmission lines, and high voltage,
the factory may locate convenient to
transportation and labor, and have the
water power brought to it.
Every "a hours there goes to waste
unused water power equivalent to the
coal energy Of 100000 tons, or $685.
600 900 tons each year. At low aver
age of present prices this waste repre-
sents $1,000, 100000 yearly.
Switzerland gets her coal from Ger
many. This year the supply is only
two-thirds Of requirements, yet Swift
zerland will pay Germany over $4,000
100000 for coal. At the present mo-
ment there are undeveloped water pow
ers In Switzerland amounting to $780,
600 horse power which, with $4,000
horse power already harnessed, would
make Switzerland almost independent
of outside coal supply.
Our own unused water powers remain
undeveloped because the restrictions
our government demands do not appeal
to private enterprise, which naturally
is reluctant to invest vast sums under
franchise which may be terminated
at any time. With the financial burdens
with which our government will
| emerge from this war, it will doubtless
be years before congress would feel
justified in appropriating the money.
necessary to make this development.
| It would seem wise, therefore, rather
than wait an indefinite number Of
| years, that franchise Of say 80 years
should be granted, with privilege OF
taking over the properties at the end
Of that time on some basis of valuation
fair to government and owners. On
such a basis development would begin
| at once.
In the meantime the 100000 tons
value of coal is rushing to the sea
every "a hours, an absolute waste,
without the slightest benefit to any
one.

Red Cross Arm Of Government.

The American National Red Cross is
under government supervision. The
president Of the United States (who at
present is also president Of the Red
Crosse, appoints part of its directors,
and it's accounts are audited by the
war department. 1t IS virtually an arm
Of the government, maintained by vol
untary contributions. Such of its Off
Gals as are paid receive salaries pro-
vided for from general fund derived
from endowment and sources other
than contributions for relief work,
which are never used for this purpose.

Doc Brought Criminal to Justice.

Traced by dog, a criminal was
brought to justice at johannesburg.
South Africa, recently. At the trial
interesting evidence was given by the
police as to how the accused was
traced by dogs after the scent was
taken by one Of the dogs from che
scene of the struggle. The detective
described the dogs movement until it
came to a stable boys room. In which
there were two natives and two beds.
The two natives were sitting on the
one bed, and the dog went up and
smelled one Of them. She then went
to the vacant bed, smelled that, sat
down and barked. The accused sat
IN the vacant bed and the dog went
first to accused's companion and
smelled him, placed her forepaws on
his knees and barked. She subsequent
iy picked accused out when he was pa.
raded with eight other natives.
