The pulso register of Dr. Gartner, of Vienna, has proven very successful in lessening the surgeon's work in watching the cirentation of patients under angstboties. It consists of a watch-like box, which is attached to the patient a forearm, and with bands that are moved over the thal by a sensitive spring, very accurately showing, the pulse and blood-pressure vibrations, It even reveals pulse setion so feeble that the finger cannot feel it.

The much-ridiculed name of "liquid crystals, is still retained by Dr. Otto Lahanou, who ha published up enlarged list of the organic conus pounds having the peculiar pixporties. These substaners, oa was first made clear fifteen years ago, have two melting points, and at intermediate temperatures move freely like liquids, but polarize light like crystals and show the dichroism of crystals. Whether they are really like solid crystals is still disputed.

On being allowed to stand in cold water, the absorption of liquid by a raw egg was very slight; and on taking from hot water the boil. ed ogg was found to have lost weight from the evaporation of interior gases. When the coked egg stood in water until it oaoled, however, There was a very sensible gain in weight from absorption of water. The view of housekeepers being bus confirmed, it is evident that almost any poison can be introduced into eggs, and the shells do not even give security against disease gecras that water may contain.
