New Method of Blood
TRANSMISSION Invented

! London.-A new method Of blood
transmission for treating serious cases
Of septicemia Is being successfully used
ut st. Mary's hospital, London, says
the Daily Mail. 1t Is the invention Of
the famous pathologist, Sir Almroth
Wright, who calls 1t Immune transfu-
efon."
Doctor Wright found during the war
that simple TRANSMISSION was useless in
desperate cases Of septicemia and
adopted a plan Of drawing the blood
q a healthy person, inoculating 1t with
vaccine to increase its power of kill
Ing microbes, and then injecting 1t in
the patient.
From this developed the improved
method, namely the incubation Of
healthy blood donor with vaccine and
then, when the persons blood has man
ufactured 2 large quantity of microbe-
killing substances, drawing from this
stream for injections.

The residents and the newspapers

century In Venetian life, playing
nightly during the summer in st.
Marks square, favorite haunt Of
tourists. Newspapers are devoting
columns to supporting the further
maintenance of the band.
Commissioner Giordano estimates
that the band costs Venice $4,000 an
nnally, and he desires to cut the APP

bers TO men.
1t Is expected that If Commissioner
Gi0rdano does not give In to the
wishes Of the people and the press, an
appeal will be taken to Premier Mus

RUN OVER BY TRAIN,
WOMAN STILL ALIVE
Girl Remains Quiet as Train
Strips of Clothes.

! Greenup, Ky.-Her clothing stripped
from her body when she was run over
by IS cars of freight train, Miss
Ruth Craycraft, fifteen years old, is
recovering from what likely Will be
her nearest escape fom death.
Miss Craycraft and her chun. Leona
Thompson, fifteen years old, were on
their way to prayer meeting, walking
on the railroad tracks. A freight train
ran upon them before they could jump
to safety.
Miss Thompson was thrown from
the rails, slightly injured, but Miss
Craycraft was drawn under the train.
Elghty-aye cars passed over her. She
Is very slender. She lay motionless
as the train passed over her. The
machinery under the cars tugged at
her clothing, but she was not killed.
Persons who saw the accident
rushed to where the girl lay and found
her suffering from broken shoulder,
a severe scalp wound, and cuts about
the body. She was virtually stripped
Of her clothing.
The girl was taken to hospital and
was on the operating table for hours,
but she win recover.
The engineer did not know of the

MEXICAN ESTATES.

Are Handed Down From Father to
Son--Land Is Cheap.
The great estates IN Mexico are
handed down from father to son. IL
takes an exceedingly large body OF
land to support the owners in mod
crate luxury. Even where willing to
sell, the haciendadoes want to sell
the whole tract, and will not cut It
up or sell part. The price, when
sale does take place, is from 20 cents
to $500 per acre. It is more folly
than greed that makes the hacienda
does try to perpetuate existing social
conditions. There could be no better
fortune for them than a good, consti-
tutional government, under which
they could subdivide and sell their
lands at prices such SIS prevail in.
other countries. The secret of the
low value Is not far to seek; there is
no market for anything except ship
ping to foreign countries. The great
mass Of the people can buy only a
few cotton rags and bushel or so
of raw corn per month per family.
The wages they get are from II to 80
cents per day in our money, the high
er price being paid right along the
border, where a short Journey would
take the workman into the United
States.

The Sailors Money.

Arising out Of the loss Of the II
tanic, several applications under the
workmen's compensation act were
heard at Southampton (England)
county court. It was stated that in
three cases the widows of members
of the Titanic's crew had married
again.
In one case Judge eye said: "she
can have the money. but shall com
municate with the treasury. 1t seems
to me unfair that the children should
be deprived of all the compensation
when the widow uses it for the pur-
pose of getting married again. Com
pensation was paid for the express
reason that she was dependen on her
husband. She is not now"

CORK IN A BOTTLE.

How TO Prevent II From Being
Nuisance.
1t often happens that in attempting
to uncork a bottle the stopper is
forced into the bottle instead, and
it thus floats on the liquid This
would perhaps not be drawback
were It not that each time the bot
tie is to be emptied the cork comes
to the neck and causes an obstruc.
ton, preventing the flow of the
liquid. This can be prevented very
readily, and all that is needed is to
bend piece of stiff wire in a long
U-shape, properly fitting it in the
neck of the bottle so that the loop
portion projects somewhat below the
neck Upon oyerturning the bottle
the wire loop prevents the cork from
reaching the neck to obstruct it.
