...Electro-Surgery, the use of a cauterizing knife, is as far ahead of scalpel surgery "as the modern electric tram is ahead of the lumbering horse car."-Dr. Howard Atwood Kelly, Baltimore. It permits elegant excision of cancer ramifications and delicate areas of the brain. It may permit operations of the spinal cord. But President-elect Allen Buckner Kanavel, Chicago, pointed out that coagulation caused by the cautery is more likely to scatter malignant growths than to retard or destroy them...

As the sun travels through cosmic dust, its radiation varies. Earth's bombardment of electrons comes from the sun, travels along the lines of the earth's magnetic field. Striking in the magnetic polar regions, these electrons maintain the negative electric charge...
