FUTURE WAR SURGERY.
Itis Expected That Many 1Peands UM be
Less Severe Than In former Wars.
It would appear probable that in a
future war many of the wounds pro-
duced by the new projectile will be
surgically less severe and prove amen-
able to effective surgical treatment,
writes Sir Wm. MacCormac. Probably
also, the number of severe injuries will
be very great, when we consider the
enormous range of the new weapon
and the penetrating power of the pro-
jectile, which enables it to traverse the
bodies of two or three individuals in
line, including bones, and to inflict scr-
ims or fatal , wounds at a distance of
3,000. or 4,000 yyards. It is impossible to
say what the proportion between
these two is likely to be. At nearranges
the explosive effects will be much the
same as before ;;but at long range the.
narrow bullet track, the small exter-
nal wounds, which often approach the
subcutaneous in character, and the
moderate . degree of comminution and
fissuring of the bone will be surgically
advantageous. These will form the bulk
of the gunshot injuries of the future,
for it would seem impossible with maga-
ziAcquick-firing rifles to maintain a
contest at close quarters without
speedy mutual annihilation.
We may take it for granted that the
number of wounded in proportion to the
numbers engaged and actually under
fire will be greaterthan before. The
supply of ammunition will be larger,
the facility for its discharge greater,
and smokeless powder will increase" the
acauraoy of aim.
I think wo are justified in believing,
although there is high authority for a
contrary opinion, that the nexC great
war will be more destructive to human
life, bloodier, in feet, than any of
its predecessors; and that the numbers
of injuries and in many eases the se
verity of the injury will be largely in-
creased. But very inany crises will re-
main less severe in character, more
capable of successful treatment, and
less likely to entail future disablement,
while improved sanitation and anti-
septic methods will enormously increase
the proportion of recoveries.

Light and Disease.
Two objections are commonly brought
against the disinfectants recomznended
for general use; they aro expensive and
cermet be used promiscuously without
more or leas :damage. It will be wel-
come news, therefore, that investiga-
tions are now going on, looking to some
praetical application of the well-known
disinfecting properties of light.
Various species of microbes have been
examined to ascertain their power of
resistance to the sun's rays. Per ln-
stanoe, Kochhas shown that the germ
of consumption can withstand the solar
rays for only a Obert time. Cholera
germs are easily rendered inert under
the influence of direct sunlight, and
other germs are susceptible in vary-
ing degrees, to the same influence.
Experiments^have been made upon
'fabrics and rimaufactured articles of
household 'use, like furniture, by first
impregnating them with germs and
afterward exposing •them to the direct
action of the sunlight. It is found
that while the rays have
a dis-
tinct action uothe upper
layers of
stuff, the disinfecting process is some,
what retarded in the lower or deeper
layers, Objects of a dark color are but
little affected.
Investigators report, that direct solar
light kills In from one to two hours any
germs of typhoid fever which may be
present in water. Evan diffused light
exerts an appreciable effect in purify-
ing water. In fairly clear water the
effect has been known to be exerted at
a depth of more .than six feet.
In bodies of water exposed to the
rays of the sun a minimum of germs is
found in the early evening and night
hours, and as might have been expect-
ed, a maximum of the same germs _ is
found in the early part of the day.
A study of .the action of artificial
light upon disease has revealed the
fact that nearly every germ develops
iu some ono or two particular rays of
the spectrum. For instance, typhoid
germs multiply rapidly in orange,deep
red, or deep- violet rays, while they
cease to develop in green, blue, or pale
violet rays,
This corresponds In some degreeto
facts elicited by a study of the action
of artificial light upon plant -life in gen-
eral, of which latter facts growers have
taken advantage to produce wonderful
results.
Of all forms of artificial light the arc-
electric seems to promise greatest re -
Stilts to the experimenters on this in-
teresting subject, but it is probable
that nothing can equal the direct rays,
of the sun itself.
That the sun does exert an impor-
tant influence as a disinfectant—and
this of merely because of its warmth
�
v
or drying poweir—is not to be disput-
ed.
Do Not Smother Them.
Young mothers especially seem to
think that babies' lives can be snuffed
out, as a candle, by the least puff of
wind, hence commence early to wrap
and bind the poor little thing in a way
little less than criminal. That babies
are smothered to death is an every
day occurrence, but the wonder is that
not many more are killed' by wrapping
their heads up in thick shawls or
blankets, which gradually come in con-
tact with .their lips, close their mouth
and nose and when the little one is
next looked at, attention being at-
tracted by his prolonged silence, baby
is limp and blue—the spark of life lit-
orally smothered out. This fearful
sacrifice is not necessary, certainly
greatly, mourned when it occurs, but it
Ls another of the many calamities due
to thoughtlessness, nothing less. Let
the child breathe; admit sufficient air
to his mouth and nose, see that noth-
ing comes in contact with his lips, neith-
er shawl nor veil, that his breathing be.
absolutely free. Babies nave died at
the breast, pressed against it to nurse,
and so suffocated.
Those having .charge of infants and
very young children should think what
they do; it will save vain lamenting
after the evil is done.

COLOR MUSICALES THE LATEST FAD
IN LONDON.
Wagner Operas Cnn Now be Shown on a
Screen—Inman 1101112+ Have Kernel s
—Other odd Facia or xew'rheary or
Har tes.
Music that you can see is the latest
and most extraordinary fad in musi-
cal circles. The music scientists have
been experimenting along the line, of
musical vibration, and have attached
to this force transmitters of forth and
color, as Keeley proposes to hitch his
famous motor to the great force of
sound vibration. The results of these
experiments have been that a Chopin
nocturne may now be played in colors
or an aria drawn in outline by sensi-
tized transmitters.
Remington, in England, has invented
the color organ and formulated a scheme
of tone -colors. Prof. H. E. Clifford, in
Boston, has produced by the vibrations
of a violin bow, or of the human voice
through a metal tube, upon a tightly
drawn catgut tambour head or a metal
plate, figure musics from a handful
of fine sand shifted by the vibrations
into plainly defined drawings.
The scientific musicale is the latest
form of society entertainment. Not
long ago one was given iu New York,
by Miss Charlotte W. Hawes, the Bos-
ton music litterateur. Miss Hawes'
musicale consisted of a monologue on
" The Music of Nature," illustrated by
the curious latter-day discoveries in
physical science on the
LAWS Or VIBRATION.
She illustrated her interesting theo-
ries with an array of paraphernalia, de-
monstrating the 'relation between the
unseen tong and the tangible and vis-
ible demonstration of form. Through
tubes vibrating on a metal surface
strewed with sand the octave was
sung first by a soprano voice, and then
by a contralto
Each note shifted the sand into a
distinct geometrical figure,.' its repeti-
tion bringing always the same form
upon.' 1110 metal, The scale, note by

g Hung of a ra olil
cope, l."aoh note, in a number of ex-
periments, has a corresponding figure,
varying il 1atly In size and detail, ae-
aring to the register of the voice.
in the same way the tones of a vio-
lin were drawn in outline iipen the
catgut in shifting sand, the eammuni-
eation of the vibration being made
through a silken string. The geomet-
rical figiues formed by the violin
notes were much more distinct and de-
licately detailed than those formed by
the human 00100. The shape of b flat
was distinctly different from a netur-
al' chords were not attempted, but it
le believed that the co-relatl n between
tone and form is to be a diiscovers, al
the investigators in physical science.
She also declared that human beings
had their keY-notes. They s eek by
custom in the pitch which nature had
given them, which is varied in
MAJOR,' OR MINOR
by tile emotions expressed, and they
naturally choose for their friends Peo-
ple whose voices accorded with tbelis.
For instance, you will rarely fine. a

Liszt's Second Hungarian Rhapsody,
and a graceful young woman looked

Notwithstanding the rapid advance or
exploration in various parts of the globe
a recent estimate by a member of the
Royal Geographical Society shows that
mo less than 20,000,000 square miles of
the earth's surface yet remain unex-
plored. The largest unexplored area
is in Africa, 0,500,000 square miles, but
even North America contains 1,500,000
square miles of virgin territory. Some
readers may be surprised to learn that
there is three times as much land await-
ing the foot of the pioneer in North

The latest discovery in the scienti•
8c world is that nerve centres located
in or near the base of the brain con-
trol all the organs of the body, and
when these nerve centres aro
deranged the organs which they
supply with nerve fluid, or nerve
force, are also deranged: When it
is remembered that a serious injury
to the spinal cord will cause paralysis
of the body below the injured point,
because the nerve force is prevented
by theinjury from reaching the para-
lyzed portion, it will be understood.
how the derangement of the nerve
centres will cause the derangement
of the various organs which they
supply with nerve force; that is,when
a nerve centre is deranged or in any
way diseased it is impossible for it
to supply tbo same quantity of nerve
foroe as when in a healthful condi-
tion hence the organs which depend
upon it for nerve force suffer, and axe
enable to properly perform their
work, and as a result disease makes
its appearance.
At least two-thirds of our chronic
diseases and ailments are due to the
imperfect action of the nerve centres
at the base of the brain, and not from
a derangement primarily originating
in the organ itself. The great mis-
take of physicians in treating these
diseases is that they treat the organs

and not the nerve centres, which ars
the cause of the trouble.
The wonderful cures wrought by
the Great South American Nervins
Tonin are due alone to the fact that
this remedy is based upon the fore-
going principle. It cures byrebuild-
ing and strengthening the nerve'
centres, and thereby increasing the
supply of nerve force or nervous
energy.
This remedy has been found of
infinite value for the cure of Nervous-
ness, Nervous Prostration, Neivous
Paroxysms, Sleeplessness, Forgetful-
ness, Alental Despondency, Nervous-
ness of Females, Hot Flashes, Siok
Headache, Heart Disease. Thefirst
bottle will convince anyonethat a
cure is certain.
South Amerietin Nervine is, with-
out doubt the greatest remedy ever
disnovered for the cure of Indigestion,
Dyspepsia, and all Chronic Stomach
Troubles, because it acts through the
nerves. It gives relief in ons. day,
and absolutely effects a permanent
cure in every 104018 cn. Do not
allow your prejudices, of the preju-
dices of others,to keep you from
wing this health -giving runtidy. It
is based on the result of years of
scientific research and study. . A.
