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.

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. IMO IAT NOW BE 111 I 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 not t s of s abs ed he stied i to a series , p n ns to figures like the turning 1 1 os - 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.

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 A. DE.MDIOAN Whotesale an 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.
