A SMAH BLIND TUBE
The Vermiform Appendix and Its
Probable Function.
PROBLEM OF APPENDICITIS.
The Causes of the Disease and the
Methods of Fighting It—The Way
the Operation of Removal Is Per
formed—Disease as Old as Mankind.
Appendicitis is not a disease of mod
em times, though its nature and meth
ods of treatment are the result of
careful observation by one of our well
known modem surgeons while engaged
in postmortem work.
It may be safe to say that appendi
citis is as old as mankind, for in
studying very old histories wherein
are given the diagnoses of the physi
cians we read of eases of inflamma*
tion of the bowels, intestinal disorders
and like ailments the symptoms of
which prove that they must have been
appendicitis.
Appendicitis is inflammation of the
vermiform appendix, a small blind
tube, averaging two and a half inches
in length and a quarter of an inch in
diameter, attached to the eoecutn at
its inner and posterior part. It is
made of a very sensitive mucous mem
brane containing several glands.
The appendix is part of the digestive
tract, its function, it is believed, being
to lubricate that part of the intestines,
though as yet there is no absolute
proof of this. Careful study of a child
from whom the colon lias been re
moved until he reaches the age of
manhood has revealed no irregulari
ties of any nature.
The causes of this disease may be
grouped under four heads—stenosis,
which means closing up: impaction,
the entrance of foreign bodies, not nec
essarily seeds; exposure and injury.
In fighting this disease nature takes
three methods of disposing of the toxic
materials—discharging them into the
peritoneal cavity, sending them into
the bowels and discharging them
through an external wound. In the
first, if the discharge be iy>t too rapid
while the peritoneum is taking them
up, nature again makes an effort to
ward off the threatened danger by
walling the poisonous matters in, thus
localizing them and so aiding tlie phy
sician or surgeon iu his work. If.
however, the discharge be sudden, as
is the case when the mass bursts, the
whole of the peritoneum becomes in
volved, which is called septic perito
nitis, and this is generally fatal.
After the diagnosis has revealed the
disease the doctor decides whether the
case be one for medicine or externa!
treatment or for separation. In the
latter case the greatest of care is de
manded. as sometimes an immediate
operation is necessary, while at other
times it must be delayed, often for
hours, until the condition of the pa
tient has been brought to that point at
which the surgeon can feel it is safe to
go ahead.
The operation determined upon, the
most careful arrangements to secure
perfect antisepsis are made, and the
patient is placed in a full Btate of an
aesthesia.
The operating surgeon then draws
an imaginary line from the navel to
the anterior superior spine of the right
hip bone, dividing that line into three
parts. Under the inner side of the
middle third the appendix in normal
cases will be found, though in rare
cases it has been found on the leftside
and in extremely rare cases otherwise
displaced.
Having satisfied himself of the pxact
spot under which it will be found, an
incision from two to five inches long
is made in the skin. (Some of the best
surgeons pride themselves on the
smallness of their incisions in this op
eration.) The fatty tissues are then
cut through, the small blood vessels
are secured, and then the muscular
walls of the abdomen are separated,
bringing into view the peritoneum.
This is a serous secretive lining com
posed of two layers. On cutting
through this the edges of both layers
are clamped so as to enable the sur
geon to reunite them when the opera
tion shall have been completed.
The intestines are now visible, and
the affected section is very tenderly
drawn through the opening, where the
nature and extent of the infection are
made known. Ilot towels moistened
with salt water are kept applied to the
intestine while it is exposed. The
word “tenderly” characterizes the
whole of this operation, as the surgeon
must be more than careful to prevent
any rupture of the appendix, for should
! this happen while he is operating the
pus would be quickly taken up by the
j peritoneum and other mucous mom
! branes, and the resulting complications
: would make the outcome very uncer
tain.
The mesentery, a large vessel adjoin
ing the appendix, is next ligated, and
1 then the colon is tirxl off. after which
! the d’seasod organ is cut away. The
stump is pushed back into the intes
tine and the ligature is tightly drawn,
this to prevent the forming of a pouch,
1 The. removal safely accomplished,.
the*TbtesHne' is replaced, ThtT edges of
the peritoneum are carefully approxi
mated and the muscular walls, fatty
tissue and skin are brought together
by subcutaneous and cutaneous su
tures.
In the majority of cases, no com
plieaiions ensuing, the patient is ready
for discharge in two weeks.—James M.
Smyth, M. D.. in New York World.
There Is a proper dignity and pro
portion to be observed in the perform
ance of every net of life.—-Aurelius.
THE RIVER SEINE.
It Is the Most Picturesque of the
Highways of Paris.
We have heard almost too much of
the streets of i’aris and not enough of
that street most distinctive of all—the
river Seiue. Flowing through the city
for six miles, it is a highway, with its
bateaux mouebes. its bridges and its
quays. Of a dark night the Seine may
seem to lugubrious fancy the symbol
of death in the city’s life abounding—
murky death and inky crime, oozy and
silent wickedness. Yet normally, even
perhaps to suicides, the Seine is but
the mirror of a city’s mood. There are
lights every where—lights lengthened
in the water. The Louvre and the
Conciergerie shown in the stream are
things fairer than their originals, it
is better to look upon the eddying re
flections of the bridges here than to
stand in the Place ile la Concorde,
bright with its orange lamps in honor
of an auto show. The lights on the
Seine and its images are more alluring,
more innately of fairyland and I’aris,
than the gilded boulevards.
Nor is it only in the moonlight that
the Seine has charms. The holiday
sculler finds It a for miles
above the city, and there are ever such
fishermen as Maupassant's Itenard.
Line fishing is more than a mild sport
at Paris. Even to watch its devotees
seems to amuse your true Parisian. A
legend tells us that In the commune
days, when the Hotel de Ville was
fired on and a dark page written in the
city’s his to o’, t lie Seine fishermen pur
sued their pastime, imperturbable.
And the tale seems likely enough as
the saunterer watches .the fisher folk,
whose leisure may be envied more
than their occupation and who are
found not on the city quays alone, but
In the banlieu. where the Seine’s green
bank is dabbed with villages in brown
and red and gray and where one stops
to watch the peasants bathe their
horses in the stream itself, rubbing
them down soon afterward by the riv
er’s brink. Within the city there are
the men who clip poodles on the quays
and higher book and picture stalls
with their merchants and shifting
groups of bargain hunters—the Odeou
arcade for now books, the riverside for
old.—Scribner’s Magazine.
ASTROMOMY.
Its Exactness Illustrated by the Dis
covery of Neptune.
There is perhaps no more striking
illustration of the power of scientific
method than that relating to the dis
covery of Neptune in 1846. The planet
Uranus, until then the outermost
known member of our solar system,
refused to follow the path computed
for it by mathematical astronomers.
With the progress of time the dtscrep
ancies between its predicted und ob
served {tositious grew constantly larger
until in the early eighteen-forties the
discordance amounted to fully seven
ty-five seconds of arc. This is a small
angle, not more than one-twenty-fifth
the angular diameter of our moon, yet
a very large angle to refined astron
omy, for a discrepancy of two seconds
would have been detected with ease.
The opinion gradually developed that
Uranus was drawn from its natural
course by the attractions of an undis
covered planet still farther from the
sun than itself. Adams in 1843 and
Le Verrier iu 1845 independently and
each without knowledge of the other s
plans attacked the then extremely dif
ficult problem of determining the ap
proximate orbit, mass and position of
an undiscovered body whose attrac
tions should produce the perturbation?
observed. Regrettable and avoidable
delays occurred in searching for the
planet after Adams’ results were com
municated to the astronomer royal In
October. 1845. Le Verriers results
were communicated to the Berlin ob
servatory iu September, 1846, with the
request that a search be made. The
disturbing planet, later named Nep
tune, was found on the first evening
that it was looked for less than one
degree of arc from the position as
signed by Le Verrier. If an energetic
search had been made In England the
year before the planet would bave
been discovered within two degrees of
the position assigned by Adams.—Pro
fessor IV. W. Campbell in Popular Sci
enee Monthly.

A MUTUAL SURPRISE
Th Meeting Between an Ambitious
Hunter and Hie First Grizzly.
In "Sketches of Life In the Golden
State’’ Colonel Aliert S. Evans tells
an amusing anecdote of an ambitious
hunter who met Ills first grizzly bear
—in procession. The incident occurred
in the woods near the site of the pres
ent town of Monterey.
The hunter sat down to rest in the
shade of a tree and unwittingly went
to sleep. When lie woke it was near
sunset, and he sat up. rubbing his
eyes and contemplating n return to his
hotel, several miles distant.
Just then a rustling and crackling
noise from a clump of chaparral about
100 yards away attracted his atten
tion. Out walked a grizzly bear, a
monarch of his kind. He yawned,
licked his jaws and then advanced to
ward the tree where our hunter sat,
but evidently was unconscious of his
presence.
Ills grizzly majesty had proceeded
about twenty paces when a female
bear followed him. and an instant later
a third grizzly followed her at a slow,
shambling pace.
The hunter sat spellbound with ter
ror ns the procession came toward him
until the forward grizzly was within
thirty yards. Then, scarcely realizing
what he did. he sprang to his feet
and uttered a frenzied yell—yell upon
yell!
The effect was magical. The fore
most bear sprang into the air. turned
sharply about, knocked the female
down, rolled over her. gathered him
self up and bolted "like forty cart loads
of rock going down a chute” straight
for the chaparral again, the other two
bears close at his heels and never
turning to see what had frightened
them.
The hunter, seeing the enemy re
treating. sprang to his feet and fled
at top speed for the hotel, leaving hat
and gun behind. The truth of his wild
and startling tale was proved the next
day by the numerous bear tracks of
different sizes found in the marshy
ground near by. Rut the three bears
had gone off beyond pursuit.
THE NEW ORE. *
One of Andrew Carnegie's Early Iron
Experiences.
Andrew Carnegie once stated that a
short time after the starting of his
first plant in Pittsburg he had an odd
experience with iron ore.
“I was offered some ore that sam
pled about the usual grade, so far as
I was able to judge from appearances,
at a reduced price.” he said . “I bought
several thousand tons—a big order for
those days. The second day after we
commenced to run It the foreman came
to the office and told me the new ore
was of no account, that It did not flow
and that the furnaces were so choked
they would have to t>e dumped unless
some remedy was found. Those fires
were built to last two years, and to
dump them at this time would mean
so heavy a loss as to practically put
me out of business. A young chemist
bad called on me a few weeks tiefore.
and, while I bad not paid much atten
tion to him, I had kept his card. It
occurred to me that he might possibly
be of some help, though I confess I
did not then see what chemistry had
to do with the iron business. But I
sent for him. and he came at once.
First he examined the new ore and
then the old that we had been running
without difficulty, and finally he looked
at the furnaces. To avoid delay he
made a little test of the two ores right
there. I had told him when he ar
rived that I felt sure the new ore was
worthless and admitted my mistake
in buying it. Of course I did this as
I did not want him to think I was
ignorant of the business. You can
imagine my surprise, then, when at
the conclusion of his test he quietly
Informed us that the new ore was so
good we did not know how to run it.
The fact was that the new ore con
tained 20 per cent more Iron than the
old, and all that it was necessary to
do was to add a proportionate increase
of flux to bring about reduction.”—

The Man In the Rain.
“Men,” said a fashionable tailor, “are
much more particular about their
clothes than women, though few peo
ple realize this fact. Take a man in a
light gray suit caught In a shower.
Does he go blithely on, heedless of the
elements? No. lie seeks the nearest
shelter and remains there till the
downpour has stopped absolutely. But
It Is his straw hat that a man takes
most care to preserve,. I have seen
men in pouring torrents hurrying
along bareheaded, their straw hats
carefully concealed beneath their
coats. Did you ever sec a woman go
to those lengths? Often a man caught
in a shower carries his hat sort of
i casually at arm’s length at his side. a
if lie was doing it unconsciously, don’t
you know. And how often do we see
them holding newspapers over their
hats. Ever see a woman do that?
No. Somehow women seem to be able
to go through a shower without mak
ing conspicuous figures of themseivee.
They are always serene, never trou
bled. and they never seem to get a*
wet as men do.”—London Answers.
