WASHINGTON—The development
of Roentgen lays in surgery by scien
tists of the .ceneial powers has not
been halted because of the war. A
method for removing fore:gn sub
stances from the human body with
the direct aid of the X-ray has been
devised, according to a report from
Consul General Halstead, Vienna, to
the state department.
Prof. Guido IIolzKnccht, at the last
meeting of the medical society of
Vienna demonstrated the process bv
moans of stcropticon pictures. The
new method permi.s the surgeon to
see the field of the operation with
one eye, under ordinary conditions,
while the other eye sees the same
field under Iioen'.g n-ray illumination.
This method of double-vision is made
possible by the so-called "Grashry
monocle." The Roentgen machine it
,eh is situated below the lloor, in a
room under the operating room, and
is connected by means of n speaking
tube with the opera'.ing room. The
stirg on is enabled to sen o-i tbe pie
tuie in the Roentgen machine how far
his probe is; removed from the object.
Pr. I Job-knecht explained the prim
itive beg nnings of the attempts at
removing foreign bodies by means of
the X-ray, stating that many y’ara
ago the complaint was first heard
that in the removal of needles, steel
splint rs, etc., the exact location of
the particles could not be determined
in spite of their general localization
by means of the X-ray pictures. It
was almost imperative, he said, to find
some m -thod of shortening the op-'ra
tion ard loading the surgeon to the
exact location of the foreign body by
the shortest possible route, without de
sttoying more tissues than was abso
lutely necessary, or incurring unne
cessary dang r of infection. The new
method enahlcs the surgeon continual
ly to keep the body sought In the field
of vision while conducting the op
eration himself. The result is less
manipulation of the probe and the
finding of foreign bodies which form
erly could not he located.

LOSES FAMOUS EXPERT
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON,—The fishing indus
try of the Pacific coast lost one of its
principle builders in the death of Alvin
B. Alexander, who died here in No
vember at the age of 02. At the time
of his d-a h Mr. Alexander was as
sistant in charge of the division of
statistics and methods of the United
States Bureau of Fisheries.
For a peril d of fifteen years, from
1887 to 1903, "Major” Alexander, as he
was familiarly known on the racific
coast, filled id c position of fishery ex
pert on the U. S. fish exp rimenial
steamer Alba roes, and in the import
. nt explorations of the vessel in M
ska, the is!a'ul3 of the Pacific an<l on
the Atlantic coast. Major Alexander
vvas widely known not only to those
n the fishery trade hut to many c.o -
getl n otlu r I n s. Major Alexander
was recognized as ;n expert in prac
tical fishery matt rs and it may ho
said that his efforts on the Pacific
const hid much to do with laying the
foundation cf the great fish'ry enter
prise of the Northwest.
'1 he most recent v-ork under t' im
mediate sup rivision of Major Alexun
d r was the invest gation of the hali
but fisheries of Alaskan waters, con
ducted on the cruise of the Albatross
in 1911.
As a r c gnticn of Major Alexnn
cr's talent: , in 190b at the request of
t' e Department of State he was do
ailed to visit Newfoundland for the
urpose of ; bserving the operation of
American fishing V03S is engaged in
!.e herring fisheries there under the
i rovisiens of the modus vivendi be
wren the United States and Great
Britian. His detail to this duty was
r ieated each of the three succeeding
years.
In 1910 Major Alexander was one oi
the two representatives of the bureau’s
staff detatli d as an expert to assist
the American consul in the case of rhe
Nirth Atlantic Coast fisheries arbitra
tion before the permanent court at The
Hague for a settlement of the disput
. s to the rights of Am rienn fishermen
n Kewfou eil. nd and C. nadlan waters
under the treaty of ISIS.
Major Alexander was recognized as
having pre-i minent ability as an ex
pert in all matters relating to the
practical operations of Am rican fish
eries, and for this reason and on ac
count of his personal qualities one of
the most rst emod and valued officers
of the bureau.
MOTOR TRACTORS INSTEAD I
OF HORSES FOR HEAVY
ARTILLERY BATTERIES
Pacific News Service. Wash. Bureau.
WASHINGTON—Equipment of army
heavy artillery bateries with motor
tractors instead of horse3 is forecasted
in a report on recent tests made at the
artillery school at Fort Sill Okla,
The artillery board found that in ad -
dition to giving heavy guns greater
mobility and efficiency equipment
■villi g-soine motor tractors would re
■ uli in a reduction n original coat and !
mintenance charges. It will co3t $40.
000 lcs3 per battery, it is estimated to
irovide motor tractors than to pro
de horses, and the annual upkeep
will show $25,000 saving.
The board found that the motor
equipment had many practical P.d
vanlages over horse teams, enabling
the big guns to be maneuvered at
night and in less space than the horse
batteries required.

FOSSIL LEAVES AND NUTS
A MILLION YEARS OLD NEAR
THE GULF OF MEXICO
WASHINGTON.—Leaves and nuts
a million years old, or a hundred times
as old as the pyramids of Egypt have
been found In states bordering the
Gulf of Mexico, according to a bulle
tin Issued by the United States geo
logical survey.
Among the fossll3 discovered in ex
cavation work which the survey is
carrying on are remarkably well pre
seived impressions or casts of leaves
of several extinct varieties of ash, o ik,
beech, and hickory, which were foun I
aling with three present-day spec'03.
Although the leaves were rotted
and gone, perfect impressions wore
left. The nuts, however, were neither
decayed or petrified, . having fallen
into pools of stagnant water, one of
the best preservatives in nature, and
sooner or late were burned under silt
or clay. They are in perfect condi
tion, though some are slightly flat
tened owing to the gentle presses of
clay sustained for many eons.
