DOES AWAY WITH ALL PAIN
Remarkable Anesthetic May Soon Be
Employed in Delicate Dental
Surgical Operations.

A coal-tar chemical for the elimina-
tion of all pain in dental surgical op-
erations, simple of application and
suitable for repeated and universal
use in oral surgery, according to the
Scientific American, is announced by
DR.. Joseph A. Klein of New York
city.
This new chemical is liquid in form,
Is applied on pellet of cotton to the
gum or mucous membrane surrounding
the tooth to be anesthetized or into
a cavity prior to excavation where q
tooth is to be filled or treated. 1t
produces complete local anesthesia in
from two to eight minutes and elm
mates all: feeling for from one to six
hours.
Doctor Klein has extracted teeth
and pulps painlessly by the use Of this
chemical. Its effect is entirely local,
so it may be applied with perfect safe
ty, regardless of the patients age or
general physical condition, and it is
particularly valuable as an anesthetic
in the extraction Of childrens teeth.
1t leaves no disagreeable after-effect,
but because Of it's long period of &C.
tivity gives the nervous system ample
time to recover from the shock Of op-
Grafton before the nerves in the area
of the operation regain their normal
feeling or activity.

GOWN WORN BY JOHN WESLEY
English Wesleyan Body Receives Gift
of Robe That Belonged to Found
er of Methodisin.

The Wesleyan Methodist COnnexion
has just received from one of its Lead
ing laymen q gown that belonged to
the founder of Methodism, according
to the London Daily News. John Wes-
ley died in 1901, so that the garment
is more than 100 years old. ..
Time has, of course, left its marks
upon, the gown. Some parts are dis
colored and others are worn and
patched. The material is heavy, and
upon it, worked in black, are flowers
and prancing horses. AS the great
preacher was little man, the gown
must have hung about his heels.
1t is claimed that the gown was a
preaching, gown, but it is very dis
similar to the ecclesiastical garment
that, according to authentic records,
John Wesley wore in the pulpit. This
one possesses an ordinary sleeve, and
generally speaking, it seems to accord
with the style Of black study-goWn.
The donor of the gown has also pre-
sented pair Of slippers belonging to
Wesley. These are in good condition,
and are Of the kind that he would
wear in his study.
Wesley, of course, travelled through
out Great Britain and Ireland in al
weathers on his preaching tours, and
it was suggested that he wore this
heavy gown as a protection against
atmospheric conditions.
The Wesley museum contains d
large number Of interesting relics OF
John and Charles Wesley. 1t possesses
the study CHAIR of John, and presently,
as a gift from the donor Of the gown,
Charles Wesleys study chair will be
placed there.
A large proportion of the visitors to
the museum come from the overseas
dominions and the United States,
where the interest in all that relates
to the early history Of Methodism is
very keen.

AustraIia's Geographic Position.

Australians exact position on world
maps, originally determined by Cap
tain Cook, the early explorer, was
brought into question recently when
wireless authorities, after direct check
ing by radio with standard time
clocks at Lyons, France, said they be-
lieved there is an error Of perhaps
100 yards on all maps in Australians
north-south lines.t ~ -. !is re-
Seafarers who first sletched Aus
tralia's position based their 'caleula4'
lions on the chronometer, the finely
made watch which. keeps Greenwich
time. Corrections were made from
time to time, until final checking by
cable was believed to be, accurate.
Lately however, Sydney, wireless
men who have been listening to the
clock ticks at Lyons, say they have
discovered there is, perceptible loss
of time in transmitting the correct
seconds over the cable. The loss, it
is said, led to errors in map-making.

Les Angeles Man Has Fashioned Re-
4 production of Most Terrible Pre-
i historic Beast. 4..>s.. s...

>, Gone from the earth before the con-
tract was let for the Pyramids, the fe-
rocious and all-deyouring saber-toothed
tiger that ruled the animal kingdom
100000 years ago has no secrets from
the scientists Of today, and a Los An
geles srnan even has gone, sc. far as to
sculpture in concrete what he consid-
ers to be q perfect reproduction Of
the terrible monster with the sabered
mouth. ..2.y s.-.
The scientist, William Spalding,
has the sculptured piece in the work
shop at his residence. He was presi-
dent Of the Southern California Acad-
envy of Science for, four TERMS. and In
that capacity he had occasion to learn
as much about the saber-toothed tiger
as men Of today are permitted to
know.
He was instrumental in opening the
famous fossil beds at Brea, where the
remains Of the tigers were found in
good enough preservation to recon-
struct the skeletons.
From the relics of the skeletons,
uncovered in the Brea pits, he has con-
cluded that the tigers Of 100000 years
ago were similar in size to the Bengals
Of today, differing essentially from
them in their outstanding feature
the long saber teeth from which no
enemy could be safe.
With the skeleton remains Of the
tigers sufficiently reproduced to- out
line the forms and physical character
istics Of the tigers, Mr.. Spalding found
little difficulty ina making likeness
of the animal. In his art work he has
reproduced the skeleton e proportions
and added the external characteris-
tics of the cat family, whereby he be-
ljeves a perfect COPY has been accom-
plished of the fire-eyed feline demon
that roamed supreme in the days be-
fore man was.-Lo7 Angeles Express.

SEEING Without Eyes.

That the blind can perceive Hight
and darkness is, asserted by Dr. A.
Cantonnet in Met1fcine (Paris). Doctor
Cantonnet tested eyeless seeing ma
chnery by bandaging his eyes light
proof and concentrating his attention
for so hours on perception of light.
He found that he could then perceive
not merely light and darkness but
also large and shining objects.
Testing many, blind persons ne
found the same ability. He attributes
this vision without eyes to Ranvier's
sensory cells, which have a nerve
sensation with the brain centers.
