ELECTRO-MAGNET IN SURGERY.
L'6ed to Extract Fragments of Steel
from the Body.
A huge cleetro-magnet has been set
up in a certain hospital lu England. It
drew out splinters of steel which had
become lodged in (ha eyes of patients.
In one instance it drew out a piece of
a hammer head which had been driven
into the muscles of a patient's upper
aria, und in another case drew out a
piece of cold chisel in a forearm. The
success of the magnet Is said to have
been complete, the fragments of the
metal appearing quickly on the pole of
the magnet. It is suggested that such
an electro-magnet could be of great
use in military hospitals for the remov
al of pieces of shell and steel bullets.
Glass Wearing Apparel.
Articles of dress are now being ex
tensively made cf glass. A Venetian
manufacturer is turning out bonnets
by the thousand, the glass cloth of
which they are composed having the
eamo shimmer and brilliancy of color
as silk, iuid. whai is a great advan
tage, being impervious to water. The
spun glais, when soiled, is simply
brushed v.ith a hard brush and soap
and water, and it is none the worse for
being cither atalued or soiled. The
material is to be had in white, green,
lilac, pink and yellow, and bids fair to
become very fashionable for evening
drosses. Exchange
A New Combustiblo.
A company has been formed at Bern,
Switzerland, for manufacturing a new
kind of combustible irom peat. The
peat, Is dried under tho influence of the
eleitric current and thca further treat
ed so that under the ictlon of electric
osmose a new compound, known a os
raon, is form?d. The most recent testa
Cf the new combustible bring out the
fact that it burns as well as coal and
v-ithout giving any odor or smoke. The
ash is very email. As it does net con
tain any trace cf salphur, it does not
attack the boilers.

Widespread Earthquakes.
Some surprise has been expressed at
the largeness of the area over which the
recent earthquake in the Midlands was
felt, considering that the shock at its
worst was very slight. But the mildest
of earth movements produce, as a rule,
sensible effects over wide regions. Dr.
Charles Davison, F. G. S., who has
made a special study of recent earth
quakes, computes that the disturbance
which shook the city of Hereford on
December 17, 1896, caused notable tre
mors over 115,000 square miles, which
is about twice the size of England and
Wales, this estimate being based on
2,302 records from 1,943 places affected.
The Inverness earthquake of Sep
tember 18, 1901, though of still less in
tensity, was felt over an area of 33,000
rquare miles, about the size of Ireland.
"In Japan," says Dr. Davison, "we see
the mountain making forces acting
with violence and producing effects
only too apparent to the eye. In Sect
land, whatever may have happened in
former geological epochs, the changes
in surface structure are now taking
place with almost infinite slowness,
and hundreds of thousands of years
must elapse before Loch Ness makes
any visible progress jn jj3 march to the
sea," London Telegraph.

Almost a Miracle In This Case.
., Dillon. S. C.Aue. 18.
Bobbitt Chemical Company:
Gentlemen: In September, 1899. I took rheu
matism in a very bad form (inflammatory). In a
month after the disease started I had to cive up
my work and go to bed. It continued to grow
worse until my arms and bands were badly
drawn, so much so that I could not use them.
My lets were drawn back till my feet touched
my hips. I was as helpless as a baby for nearly
IS months. The muscles of my arms and lees
were hard and shriveled up. I suffered death
many times over. Was treated by six different
physicians in McColl. Dillon and Marion, but
none of them could do me any good, until Dr. J.
P. Ewinir. of Dillon, came to see me. He told
me to try your RHKUMACIDE. Heeotmeone
bottle of the medicine and I beean to take it.
and before the first bottle was used up I bepan
to set better. I used 5J4 bottles and was com
pletely cured. That was years auo and my
health has been excellent ever since. Have
had no symptoms of rheumatism. Will say
further that I becan to walk in about six days
after I began to take RHEUMACIDE with the
aid of crutchs; in about three months after I
beentotaka it I could walk as coed as any
body, and went back to vrork strain.
