Music in AnestheSia.

IT is reported that Redard Of Geneva
l Switzerland, successfully employs
music to soothe and tranquilize the
dreams of persons who have taken
ether or chloroform in order to undergo
surgical operations.
The music is begun as soon as the
anesthetic begins to take effect. and
is continued until the patient awakes.
1t is said that not only does this
treatment prevent the ,hysterical ef-
fects sometimes witnessed, but that
the patient, on recovering, feels no
nausea or illness. Redard also uses
blue light to produce anesthesia. The
light from a sixteen-candle-p power
electric lamp, furnished with a blue
bulb. is concentrated upon the pa
tients eyes. but the head and the
lamp are enveloped in a blue veil, to
shut off eXtraneous light. Insensibility
is produced in two or three minutes.

Marching Sands.

FRENCH geologists have long taken
interest in the eastward march
of the sands along the northern
coasts of France. Belgium and Hol-
land. A fine sand originating on the
shores of Normandy has been found
distributed on the beaches as far east
as Denmark. 1t was shown, after a
careful investigation of this phe-
nomenon. that the eastward march
of the sands is due to the fact that
all the sea waves approaching the
coast froYDBrittany break in nearly
parallel lines with an easterly mo-
tion. The result is that the sands
always progress in that direction.
But the progress is slow and gradual
and measurements have proved that
the sand traverses, forward and back
ward, perpendicular to the shore, a
total distance of 5000 times as great
as that which it covers in the
same length of time in its eastward
progress.
