MAX O'RELL'S OPINION OF KING' EDWARD,

"During the past few months England has witnessed without surprise but with lively satisfaction the assiduity, the wisdom, and the many-sided sympathy which King Edward brings to the discharge of his duties. He is everything that the President of a Republic can be. He has from his earliest years been "brought up to the business of statesmanship. His experience is that of a man who has prac- tically always been in office. His impar tiality is made easier by his independence of and his superiority to, all political parties. The late Queen has been succeeded by a son, brought up in her school, who thoroughly realises her character and her modes of action, Patterns in Cloths, Canvasaca, and by which she expressed her constitutional Ducks, Complete Gentlemen's Outfitting,

96re attachment to the institutions of Great Britain, “King Edward is a success and as the formal coronation will add to the deep feelings of loyal affection which united him with the people of the land, there is no doubt that he will respect the constitution as his mother did, but there is not a doubt that he will have more influence than she had in the direction of affairs. He will not efface himself so much and the dignity with which he conducts himself shows that King Edward has parted company with the ex Prince of Wales. Yes, a decided success he is. Nothing.but admiration and praise are expressed everywhere.

A WOUND-STITCHING

MACHINE.

Dr. Paul Michel, the famous "French physi.. cian, has invented a remarkable instrument for With this instrument stitching wounds. wounds on a body can be stitched effectively, quickly, and without causing any pain to the "patient. Heretofore wounds were stitched by

band, and this operation was not only some- what dangerous' and slow, but also decidedly painful.

Dr. Michel's instrument consists of a forceps or pincers, and of a case or sheath, which 'con- tains a number of nickel hooks or bands some- what similar to those which are frequently seen on the corners of cardboard boxES. A slight pressure suffices to free these hooks from the sheath, and within one minute between twenty and thirty of them can be placed on a wound in such a manner that they will effectively close it. The reason why they cause no pain is be cause the tiny rounded points only penetrate, the epidermis and not the lower layer of skin.

Other advantages which they possess are that they can be easily disinfected, that it is no trouble to remove them from the skin after the wound is healed, and that they leave hardly any trace of a scar.

Dr. Michel, says a London paper, has re- ceived congratulations from the most dis tinguished European physicians, and his instrument is being rapidly introduced into leading hospitals.

A Big stride towards rendering infinitely more comfortable one of the chief means of locomotion in the East has just been made by a Colombo firm, through Mr. G. C. Gnapp, who has recently patented a steel frame, which can be attached to the body springe of an ordinary (812. rickshaw, and which carries a pair of preuma

tic-tyred ball bearing wheels. The entire ab- sence of vibration or noise, and the ease of running derived from the resiliency of the pneumatic tyres, give a sense of extreme luxury which the jaded Easterner knows well how to enjoy. And this feeling of luxury, is en- hanced by the assurance that the wheels will not "come off”—a whim which is the train, and that it was fast approaching the Caudallis and 3 children, coll

With Mr. Gnapp's patent each wheel is bolted between a pair of forks, which, it is claimed, would held the wheel even if a nut were lost. The sizes of the wheels are those used ordinarily in bicycle con. struction, viz, 26" 28" or. 30" diameter, and they have been adoped with the view to cheapness and to overcome any difficulty as regards replacement of either tyres or rims. Other points of importance are the reduction of friction by the use of ball-bearings. lightness. and strength of construction and perfect balance.

The accident took place at Baker-st. Station on 12 Dec. last, and the plaintiff's case was that he was just in the act of stepping into a second-class compartment of one of the defen; dant company's trains when it was set in motion by the guard. Finding that he could not enter

tunnel, the plaintiff, in order to save himself from impending damage, throw himself back wards on to the platform, and as a resuit sus tained a severe shock to his nervous system. He was a man of 56.

The defence was that the plaintiff did not attempt to enter the train until it was set in motion.

Dr. Page, physician, of Harley-st., gàve evidence in support of the defendant's case.
