Use of Electricity as an Anesthetic May KcplHe Kther and -Chloroform to Paralyze the Ncrvrs. ANA&STTrlEtSlA by the use of electric ity, with no nausea, no sickness and no evil effort on the heart, just a sound sleep in which no pain can be felt by the patient, is the remarkable discov ery an Omaha physician. Or. Frederick Millener, Itjm just made public. Pr. M'N lener has conducted experiments along the lines of electrical anaesthesia for sev eral years and has just announced before the Pouglas County Medical Society, of which he is a member, thesnccessfut result of his researches. It is an important announcement for medicine and surgery, especially for sur gery, since it has made possible complete, anaesthetlzation without the danger of accelerated or depressed heart action and with absolutely bo illness on the part of the patient. who recovers- consciousness the moment the electric current-Is cut off. Pr. Millener is one of "the Union Pacific Railroad's expert electricians in the big shops at Omaha, although he is a : mem ber of the New York State Medical So ciety, the American Society of Otology, laryngology and Opthalmology, and a number of other medical and scientfic association. Before coming to Omaha he was a practicing physician in Buffalo, N Y. The process of producing anaesthesia is simplicity itself. Briefly, the electric current is sent through the human brain. As long as this current is passing through tho brain, the nerves of sensation ate paralysed and the patient feels nothing and knows nothing. The moment the current ceases to -pass through the brain the patient recovers consciousness. No elaborate instruments are neces sary for the work. :ttwre beinff required only the power, or current, a rheostat, a switch, a Wheatetone bridge, a milliam peremeter'and a voltmeter. In applying 'the current, the negative pole is saturated, in a saline substance and placed on the forehead. Tho posi tive pole is placed on the spinal cord. The terminals may be reversed, but the results are not so good. The current is an interrupted alternat ing current of low tension, during the flow there is a sharp and regular inter mission which follows the other at regu lar intervals. The current is made and broken about 150 times per second, and th5 interval l?twen "make and break". Is repeated In the tile about the fircplac. The woodwork has hMn of the deep, strong red by courtewy called niiihoRauy. A v a rn I s h remover w a s used 1 1 el i-a n e It. and It was treated wilh Ivory ennniel, which entirely transformed the room. The mantel of excellent Colonial pat tern struck th keynote for thh ronin. The floors, which had long hen covered with carpet, were found to he nf well laid maple hoards, ami hy Judicious appli cation of crack filler and three coats of a good floor finish, presented a backuround rich yellow-brown In tone, which accorded with the walla of th room. Iru net curtains hung next the glass, and' over draperloa of a thin crinkled wool fabric, sago green In color, outltucd the window. Those curtains were extensively effective and had been bought at n dress goods hnrgain counter for tho ridiculously low anm of $1.!R for five and three-quarter y arils of tho goods known as albatross cloth, 3tf tnchea In width. These hung In close, soft folds and were run by a loose casing on a brass rod- set on the trim of the window, and wervs finished by a three inch hem. I to th net curtains and t he.so and for the comfort of the women a hair dresser's and a millinery establishment. Several buildings which are used large ly by la wycra and engineers contain .splendidly equipped Ithraries. while In others. In the financial district, there am branches of banks, or the main establish ment, so that customers who have Ijuhc deposits to make regularly are assured of increased safety by moving Into these quarters. One of the new buildings not far from the automobile belt up In the Kor ties haa added a well-appointed garage. This is a feature that la bound to come to many other buildings. And so one comfort in novation follows another. It Is not be yond possibility that the time Is not far hence when a man may sleep, carry on his vocation and live in the same building. The modern skyscraper is coining to le a complete community In, Itself, and a mighty big one when measured hy the standard of towns elsewhere, especially in the case of the new structure that is to house some l.VtNJO workers in its oOOO or so offices. is very much longer than between "break and make. In fact, the current interval Is abotit lt times as long as tho "break" interval. Total anaesthesia comes after about two minutes of current.. When the cur rent is first applied, respiration iueroaos. but as the anaesthesia proceeds, becomes more normal unless the voltage im-roases. IH. l'Rt;i)KRH I over-draperies extended only to the alll.

While experimenting with electrical an nontliPHia. Or. Millener used rats ami dogs as pat ictits. "The trouble with mont experiments made in the electrical field by physicians and surgeons Im t hat tho experimenter Is rather a physician or surgeon than an electrician." says Dr. Millener. "In his own field he may be mi expert, but hi the field of electricity In which he Is working he is usually a novice, lie floes not know how to handle his tools nnd he knows neither their power nor their lim itations. Kor that reasoy, many of them fall." I r Millener has boon invited to show the result of his work before the medical department of the State I'nivershy. and a clinic is now being arranged for him. While the new system may not revo lut ionize present methods of producing nnaesthesla. Dr. Millener believes it is dest hied to he used very largely in dif ficult surgical work, as the patient can remain under the influence of the electric current for hours without feeling any bad effect on awn ken i tig.

TtIK nold eoins of Oregon llrst made tluir HppcHrant'A in Is', about the same time as did the hit crest lug series of private gold pieces which worn so generally used in California, says the Now York Sun. Thiil Oregon was In need of some sort of money Is well Illustrated by the cur rency In vogue around ISM. which passed from hand to hand In the shape of chips of flint rock left from the manufacture of Indian fi row 'heads. At this period Oregon comprised a rather indefinite re gion of vast dimensions, and It is sh Id that these flint chips were shaped with pieces of pH per glued 1 1 pern them, on which were written Vie amounts, the date and the sfena lure of t he person issuing them, and that this novel form of money pussed current. Kvon Inday one of these pieces of the denomination of rent. is In existence. fT-4s suggested that Its use gave birth to the expression of "plenty of rocks." I n ' 1M5 the only medium of exchange consisted of native products, a nd a law was passed in Oregon making as a legal tender in payment of all demands In the territory wheat, hides, tallow, beef, pork, butter, lard, peas lumber or other articles of like nature where no special eimlraet had been written between parties. The following year the governor recommended in his annual message that in addition to gold and silver only wheat should be used as a legal tender, as gold and silver had become more plentiful in that s:;ct ion of th country. Karly in January, 1M!, fro id dust began to find its way to Oregon City. It nearly a I wa y s con t a i ne d a la rg pt rec n t a pre of black sand, and the need of a currency of a more definite value soon made itself manifest. So a solution of the problem was sought by the establishment of a state mint, and a law was passed February 16. l$-j!. to provide for the weighing and assaying of gold and stamping the same. This act provided for an office similar to that of the State . Assayer of California, estab lished in 1S0O. and specified that gold should be purchased at $1H.50 an ounce of virgin purity, of 24 carats in fineness, and that the coiner should prepare this gold for stamping without the introduction of any alloy whatever. The pieces were to weigh five and 10 pennyweight respec tively, and the design was to represent the Roman figure "five" for the pieces of five penny-weight and the Roman fig ure "ten" on those of ten pennyweight, the reverse sides to bear the words "Ore gon Territory'" and the date of year of stamping around the face, with the arms of Oregon in the center. There was even a clause to provide against any coins be ing struck by individuals or corporations within" the jurisdiction of thy Territory of Oregon. The territory, however, was exceeding its powers in this respect, as it was as suming perrogatives only- possesed by the United States Government and Individ uals, for it was a moid: curious fact that the laws of the United States at this period and previously forbade states to strike coins, and yet there was not the slightest prohibition to individuals strik ing as many coin as they desired. The rooords bearing on this subject are believed all to have h-en destroyed when the State-House at Salem was burned in "). It has been stated that the territory mint was established and operated, but this is questioned. Certainly no coin bear ing the designs defined in the act have ever come to light. Later in the year a company was or ganised under the title of the Oregon Kxchangc Company. The company wa composed of Wii iiam K. Kilburne, of as an upper third IithIiih-iiI. and the plot lire, rn il set at the "ceiling angle. Where the ceding is more than ten feet In height tho upper third of the wall can h covered with the paper find finished at the lower edgo by a picture rail. Tin tint for t ho lower wall should be taken from some figure, or the background of this pain-r. In ln-drooms an attractive result is ob tained by covering the ceiling to I h-' piciure rail la dmp of from eight to IX inchest with a dainty florid pHp-r. th'' wall below to be tluU-d or covered in a t iny si ripe two- toned or pin In paper.

The first coin produced at this home made mint wa- or the denomination or and Its general workmanship well Illustrated the difficulties of its manu facture. Around the border at the top were the Initials "K. M. T. A. W. K. G. H." Oireetly beneath the heaver were the initials "T. O.." with the date, "1 S !!," Immediately below. The re verse design bore around fhe edge "Or egon Kxchangv Company." while in the Held. In four lines, was inscribed "l-J'iG. Native Gold, hi)." There were several errors on the pa i t of the ongra ver in cut ting the dies for this coin. a the j in the inscription really stood for I "C." or Campbell, as each Initial rr pre. j sentcd the name of a member of th ! nimpany, and the "T and "O" were j rn isp laced, as they were i n tended to stand for "Oregon Territory." , The (lvc-dollar piece when assayed at the Cn I ted Slates Mint fe some what short of its stain perl weight, showing but 1 2 7 grains, of a fineness of .S7S. and had a value intrinsically of but a couple of cents more if enough coins were presen ted for re tneiting at one time to allow for the cost of separating the silver. It was struck with both plain and milled edge, and it is said that 000 ti v e -d o 1 1 a r p i oce s w o re st r uc k at this mint. Many of these, however, wore melted up at the time and since, and as a result have become quite rare. A good specimen with plain edge brought $sr, at the Stiekney sale last Summer. The ten-dollar piece, which was Is sued after that of the five-dollar de nomination, was a much better piece of work, and the engraver corrected his mistakes, the Inscription below the beaver reading "O.

This coin was dated Vitf also, and on the reverse the inscription in tile field read 10I. U0G. Native Gold Ten O.." In four lines. The weight of this coin was 10 pennyweights and 20 grains, or 20 grains, and it was invariably struck with a milled cdsre. According - to the records, 2H9i were struck. The rarity of the ten-dollar pieVe ex coeds that of tho five, and there (s no record of one havinar been offered for sale of reeen t year, but it is worth $loo or more. The statement was made that the members of the Oregon company mot. presumably sometime In 1 :), and de cided that the dies for this coinage should be destroyed, and a committee of three was appointed to throw them from a high rock that stands below the falls at Oregon City into the Wil lamette River. This plan was not car ried out. it would eem. for in cleaning the rubbish from a room in Oregon City later on the dies were found, and sent to the Secretary of State.
