HEROlC TREATMENT OF PNEUMONI!
A Blanket offinow Saved 3 Patient from
Death.
Up in Connecticut they have a brand
new cure for pneumonia. It consists
of a thorough soaking in snow.
Of course the patient does not take
the cure willingly, but as he is sup-
posed to be in a dangerous way he is
not consulted in the matter at all.
Here is the method of procedure,
as adOpted by a Hartford doctor.
On the second day of the disease the
patient's temperature reached 106, with
a rapid pulse, difficult respiration and
rapid delirium.
After repeatedly bathing the patient
in water as cold as ice for periods of
one hour duration, the doctor found
that the temperature remained the
same—still above 106 degrees—and the
pulse was increasing. Then he decided
to resort to the application of ice. But
in the section where the patient lived
that article was not easily to be pro~
cured, and the idea of substituting
snow for ice occurred to the physician.
Rubber protectors were placed on
each side of the bed, and after the pa-
tient had been stripped of all his
clothing, the physician took a sheet,
spread it out half way, and cov-
ered it over with six inches of snow.
The patient was placed in this soft bed
of frigidity, after which the other fold
of the sheet was covered with the same
amount of snow, making a pad.
He was then wrapped up between
. the two pads, every portion of his body
excepting his face being completely
covered with the ice next to the skin.
Cold water was then poured over all
portions of the sheet with the idea of
turning the snow into ice. The atmos-
phere of the room was as cold as it
could be made, but it was not frigid
enough to reduce the dampened snow
into a solid mass. On the other hand,
it was found that next to the body the ‘
snow melted.
The fact that the body was complete-
- ly encased in the mass of snow and the
ice cold water was in contact with ev-
ery pore at the same moment brought
benefits that could be obtained by
neither cold bathing nor the applica-
tion of ice.
Within three-quarters of an hour the
patient’s temperature dropped to 103
degrees, a. fall of 3, and the pulse, with
almost absolute relief from delirium.
This improvement lasted about six
‘flmtu's, when. both thefever and the de-
~lirium returned. The. “snow bath” was
repeated with the same successful rc-
-. cults, and for four days the treatment
was continued at intervals of a few
hours. At the end of that time the
Crisis was reached and the patient
made a rapid and uninterrupted recov-
cry.—-New York Journal.
WYOMING’S COBALT BONANZA.
First Important Find oi This Valuable
Metal Made in America.
“Cobalt is better than gold. A co-
balt mine is more desirable than the
richest golden bonanza of all the Rocky
Mountains." This is the talk one hears
at the Mlners’ National bureau of Den-
ver; this is the talk that is electrifying
the Western mining world; for cobalt-
has been discovered at Grand Encamp-
ment, Wyo., and the French mineralo-
gist, Charles Poulot, has added new
laurels to his reputation for the dis-
covery.
It is not the first discovery of cobalt
in America, but it is probably the most
notable. The metal is never found
in a pure state, but mixed with nickel,
copper, or some other element. Cobalt
ore is worth $32 a. ton for each per
sent. that the ore contains, and the
French mineralogist has found that
Grand Encampment ore to contain 4
per cent. of it. Cobalt is worth $1.60
a pound, and there is one mine in this
district where thousands of tons of this
ore are already in sight. Cobalt is the
active principle that colors blue all
porcelain and glass, and from it the
world’s great churches and cathedrals
receive their delicate shading in blue
in their arched windows and domes.
Cobalt is the active principle of blue in
oil and water painting. It is one of
the rarest minerals. Norway, Sweden
and Bohemia have in the past fur-
nished the bulk of the world,s supply.
M. Poulot represents millions of dol-
lars of French capital, and he lays it
all at the feet of the Grand Encamp-
ment miners for ore containing cobalt.
The mine in question is a copper mine,
and in addition to its copper value,
which is 70 per cent pure, its ore yields
$128 to the ton in cobalt. This is only
one among hundreds of copper mines
at Grand Encampment, and if they all
contain cobalt, Wyoming’s new mining
district within a year may be produc-
ing more wealth than any three other
mining districts in the world, not ex-
cepting the Klondike, the Transvaal
and Cripple Creek—Chicago Inter-
Ocean.
The Cause of Seeing Stars.
If a man falls so as to strike his head
violently on the ice or on the pa‘ve-
ment, orgif he gets a blow over his
eye, he is said to “see stars.” The
cause of this curious phenomenon is
found in a peculiarity of the optic
nerve. The function of that nerve is
to convey to the brain the impression
of light. It recognizes nothing in the
world but light. It is susceptible to no
other impression, or, if acted'upou by
any other agent, it communicates to
the brajp- ihe intelligence of the pres-
enie‘ofThaItige’nt bibén'ding along its
fiber flashes of light only. Irritate this
nerve with a probe or other instrument
and it conveys no sensation of pain,
but simply that of luminous sparks.
The pain of the blow on the eye or the
fall on the head is realized through the
nerves of general sensation; but, insus-
ceptible to pain or other feeling, the
optic nerve sends to the brain its re-
port of the shock by flashes, sparks and
“stars.”—London Mail. 1
. REAL BROWNIES IN AMERICA.
Explorer Sullivan Finds a Tribe of Pig-
mles on the Orinoco River.
Eben J. Sullivan, a South American
explorer, claims to have discovered a
race of living brownies near the head .
waters of the Orinoco river in the
wilds of Surinam. In describing his
find, Mr. Sullivan says:
“The queer child people are about
four feet in height. Their skin from
head to foot is a brilliant reddish
brown, translucent in effect. Their
legs are like pipe stems, scarCely the
size of a child’s arm, while their arms
are ridiculously small and thin, and
their stomachs are big, out of all pro-
portion to the body, and distended
back as well as front.
Their faces are flat and flabby like
those of Palmer Cox’s brownies.
“I think they number 10,000 to 15,000.
They are nomadie, moving over thou-
sands of square miles. It was purely
by accident that I came upon some of
their roving bands. A traveler might
have to search for months in the same
region in order to find any of them.
All those which I saw were in different
parts of Surinam.
“In measuring these little folk I
found none over four feet and eight
inches, and the women were much
shorter. They use the style of head-
dress so common among African
Ira]
men and— women do this. ' Clothing {in
their village is worn only by adult'fi.
and ‘then seldom more than a cloth
over the loins. But they-bedeck them:
.sleves with many brass and copper or:
naments. They have tribal marks that
sometimes cover the entire upper body:
and head. These are made by slits in
the skin. - . . .
“They live in little houses called
massougos, of mud or woven dried ‘
grass, entered by crawling on
hands and knees. _ I went into one and
it seemed like a child’s playhouse.
There were queer little images, idols,
fetich gods set up all about. They
represented animals mostly and there-
were many ugly specimens of clay por-
tery. There were little fetich doctors
in clay and many other things of the
sort suggesting most depraved, super-
stitious ideas. They are, I believe. all
pagans, though some of them seem to
have an idea of a supreme spirit of
power.”—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
