SOUNDS IN THE BAR.
In his investigation of the illusory sounds of the car, Dr. Maragy has examined 1,000 cases of chronic deafness, finding that 37 of the persons were deaf In the event of an attack, the sufferer and dumb, that 151 had become deaf from should be removed to the shade, his tight clothing loosened and cold water applied abscess or suppuration, and that in-819 to the head.

After the immediate results of the exposure have been counteracted, the question of diel, on which the mainten- ance of the sufferer's life and health depends, is the one which demands con- sideration. -It is obvious that when weakened, aa all the natural forces are, the stomach and digestive organs general- ty are in no condition to deal with the ordinary articles of diet, many of which impose a tax on the digestion. The food should, therefore, be of the blandest and most nutritions character, so as to put the least possible atrain on the digestive organs. At the same time, the diet should be as revitalizing and restorative as possible.
THE QUICKEST RESTORATIVE.
It needs no great knowledge of dietsties in appreciate the fact that relatively few articles combine these two necessary and important qualities. One, however, does fuffl these two requirements in a supreme- ly advantageous manner. This is Sanato- gen. Composed of the body-building

Ita use is, in many cases, a sensation of well-being followed by such that a well-known writer has describe it

Derangement of hearing seems to be most often due to irritations of the auditory nerve-centres; but the whistling-the most common of the imagined sounds-has beegi curiously traced to a very minute dis- placement of the stirrup-bone, one of the three tiny bones of the middle car. It has proven possible, moreover, to jur this bune back into place by means of a siren, producing sound-waves of any desired length and intensity. In the early stage of car troubles, when sods are first heard, vibratory massage of the temples has often priven remedy.

A nickel-wire electric furnace for the laboratory has given unexpected results in Germany, In this type of furance, a tube, crucible or nintile is wound around with nickel wire, and covered by a pro- tecting jacket; and authorities assured that it could not endure as high temperatures or last as long as similar furnaces using expensive platinum instead of nickel. At the chemical and technical laboratory of the Carlsruhe State Polytechnic, however, a nickel-wire furnace has been in constant we about is months, proving, more durable and resistant than even platinum furnaces, A pulp of kaolin, aluminum and asbestos fibre is used for bedding the nickel wire, and, as this elastic insulation layer is porous, it is surrounded with a dense layer of prepared carbon grains inside if the furnace jacket to protect the nickel against oxidation. As the small quantity of air left enclosed slowly converts the carbon inte protoxide and oxide, this layer is renewed every few weeks. This furnace has been found capable of with- standing 1,200g. C. permanently, and even higher temperatures can be endured for brief periods.
