Headlights for Surgeons.

Quite a radical revolution has been
made in the matter of illumination, for
it has been found to be much more eco
nomical to have a small, empowered
lamp in the immediate vicinity of the
work and is much superior to a number
of higl-powered lamps scattered around
in the remote distance
By the latter system much useful en-
ergy is lost. while by the former it IS
conserved. Following this out, nearly
all modern machines have facilities for
mounting small lamps at convenient
places about it, and in this line is .kc
