S«e rtecouu Pace lor Additional Markets A S'dieme for Fire l*roiection. An interesting method of preventing a building from catching fire when adja- : cent buildings are burning has been adopted in the offices qf a Glasgow (Scoti land 1 paper. There is klreadv in the building an efficient installation of automatic sprinklers for extinguishing fires whien may come from within: but it is considered that there is juu as much danger, if not more, from fires originating elsewhere. \ supply pipe is therefore taken from the water tower which feeds the sprinklers, and connected with a system of perforated malleable iron pines, which sre carried along the ridge of the roof, the eaves and ali over the windows. The pipes are usually kept absolutely ur.\ and to prevent their rusting they are coaled with zinc. A pump is pro- | vitled for forcing the water through tha tvstem of pipes, and it can be brought into | action almost instantaneously. Tne exterior of the building receives such & constant flooding w hen the pump is in action that there is absolutely no danger from ad-

jacent fire.

A Physician’s IWUaf That It 1 iNew' A rare case of| has come to scare little vilE setts. The pa’.ieuU man of twenty-two, after a confinement „ three months, is able to be about the village streets. While the ease has been th« * marvel of the countrv physicians for eom« time, no account of tho operation hif been pablished. About dusk one Saturday evening three • months ago Dr. Hubert H. Flagg, of North* amptoa, Mass., which it the center of« group of villages like Haydenville, while returning from a summons to a country house noticed a wagon-load of -young me* turning into the road from a trough, aud almost at the instant he caught sight 01 them their horse plunged forward withe start that threw the rear seat from the wagon and toppled the two occupants ol the seat over backward. One rolled into a ditch and was unhurt, but the other lay motibnleM in th« road. Jumping from his carriage, the doctor knelt in tbe road beside the young man, and tried to restore him to conscious* ne<*s by tbe usual means of cold water aud chafing; but no effect waa produced, and the fellow’s face began to grow purple al though be were strangling. When the doetor put his arm under the man’s ghoalders and raised him slightly the head fell over backward until it rested limp on the neck between the shoulders. At the sight of that two of the fellow's comrades, who were looking on helplessly but most anxiously, fainted. t Dr. Flagg comprehended that the young man had struck on the back of his head aua had his neck broken. The universal maxim in the case of a broken neck is: “Make death ax easy as possible.” When a medical student in the University of Pennsylvania Dr. Flagg had thought ihat if a physician could be called in time it ought to be poeaible to set a broken neck as well as a dislocated shoulder or thigh, for it is rare that a broken neck is anything more thau a dislocated neck. Death is such oases is due to the cutting off of circulation by pressure upon the spinal cord. The accident afforded the opportunity to test the theory, and the idea of doing so occurred to I)r,. Flagg the moment ha saw what the trouble was. Without wasting an instant Dr. Flag| stepped back of the body, placed his knees firmly against the patient’s ■houldsrs, and took the head gently but firmly between his two hands. Then turniog 'the head • from side to side delicately, he gave a strong, steady pull. There' was a sharp snap—the head was ia its socket agatu. v Respiration had become imperceptible before the head was snapped back into its original position, but afterward there was immediate ielie( aud a slight respiration was noticeable. The young man, whose nerves had not desertHl him, rolled hii coat up and placed it under young Mahar’s neck, and forced some brandy down Mahar’a throat. That bad a stimulating eflect and his pulse rose gradually from eighteea beats a minute to about'tbirtr-six. They were half a mile from any house aud thVee miles from Mahar’s home. Tha two fellowi who had fainted regained their senses and the doctor sent them to the nearest hous* for a mattress and blankets, while he to ni&jned kneeling in tha road during thi twenty-five minutes that elapsed before th« supplies arrived. In the meantime the patient’s pulse and his respiration increased aud be had occasional momenU of opo•cioutneta. With difficulty he was placed upon the mattress and lifted to the wagon. A false move would have ended his life in a twinft ling. The horse was taken ont of the wagon as a double precaution.and the three young men, aided ov some volunteers, pulled th« wagon after them three miles to the village, the doctor holding the bead ‘ in position. Stimulants and watchfulness kept the suf< ferer alive until he was placed ou his bed at home. To odd to the complications, it was found that not only had tbe neck been dislocated, or, as it is called, broken, bnt some of the delicate pieces of bone forming the casing for the spinal cord had been crushed, and the jagged edges could* be felt' at the back of the neck. When death Is not practically instantaneous iu such cases, it follows toon by strangulation, for the spinal cord becomes inflamed immediately, and, swelling against its casing, cuts off all circulation. That waa. dreaded, and the a-m was to keep dowa the inflnmation by drugs administered internally, but in a large measure by constant application of hot clothes to the back oi t ie neck. All that night the youug mao wa* worked over, and tha task if as most difficult, for tbe pain made him writhe in his bed, and a false move might throw the head out of its socket. However they succeeded in keeping the head in place that night, and on the following morning an irou brace was made which fastened the head on securely. From that time on the straggle was one of devotion and constant watchfnlness. For more than three weeks the bandages on the neck had to be changed every ten minutes, night and day, to ward off inflammation. Every week youug* Mabar grew stronger, and a little bunch on the neck, like the enlargement on welded iron, showed that the fractured ligaments and broken bone had knit. After six weeks be was able to lie on the pillow without the brace during the day time, although it was always necessary to replace it when tie slept. Then he began to be able to raovi his head from side to side, and after eight weeks it was possible for Kim to move il forward and backward, and Dr. Flagg be gan to hope that he might be able some time to go without any bead-brace; in fact, that he would be as well as ever. Three weeks ago Maher began to walk again. Every day his neck is getting stronger, and it is believed that it it only a question of time when his remarkable cure will be complete. Only two eases that approach Maher’s have been recorded. One was an experiment in this line at the University of Pennsylvania more than ten years ago. It attracted a greathileal of attention, but the core was never perfect. The best known one is that of a brakemaa on the New York Central railroad, who had his neck broken bv a fall from the top of a freight ear a dozen years ago. His neck was reset, hot could never support his head without tha aid of an iron brace. That case attracted so much attention that tbe brafceman made a snug fortune out of hif broken neck bf exhibiting himself as a cariosity. A Great Russian Railroad-Guilder. General AnnenkoflTs exploit in railroadbniiding and equitment seems wonderful in Russia. He built 1,250 miles of railroad, from Samaroand to tbe Caspian sea, much of it along the edge of a desert, in eighteen months.
