Mayo and Dr. E. G. Wakefield on the use of moss for surgical dressings, says a science writer in the New York Times. According to Mavo and Wakefield, ,moss was used successfully by Napoleon's surgeons. It was also used by both sides in the Franco-Prussian War and by the Germans and English in the last war. The moss used for dressings by the Germans and English was sphagnum moss from peat bogs. Colonel Mayo and Dr. Wakefield have been studying the possibilities of a tree moss which grows along the seaboard in the Gulf and •astern States. This is known locally as Spanish or Florida moss. It attaches itself to the boughs and trunks of trees and its stems trail down in great lengths. The absortive power of the moss depends on the character of the leaves, which are in the form of hollow cells, more or less filled with water. The water can be squeezed out and the moss dried. Thus treated the moss is brittle, but it retains its absorptive power better Cotton dressings will take up from four to six times their dry weight of water; the Florida moss from six to ten times. The amount of ■water absorbed is reduced by handling, because the leaves break. The small broken bits tend to penetrate the. gauze covering. Best results are obtained if the moss is dried slowly at ordinary temperature. Thus treated the moss remains soft and elastic. The Mayo doctors carried out their investigation because in certain battle areas it may be impossible to obtain an adequate supply of medical and surgical dressings. Nazis Drop Paper Strips On London Mixed with the bombs and spent shell fragments that are showering London these nights during German air raids are thousands of strips of metallic paper intended to jam aircraft radio location devices. Allied bombers have been Jvmpjng similiar strigs on Gej-fiiany for months hut the Germans Irave adopted them only recently. Known as "Flutterers", the Strips are made of black paper bonded to extremely thin metal foil and range from a few inches ilo a few feet in length. They are tfrbout three-quarters of an inch fride.

They have created a complete "shadow" service of freight trains which can be put on the lines in a few hours. The total probable journeys, running into thousands, have all been classified, routed, and timed. In consequence rail and military chiefs have a complete time-table of "shadow" services any of which can be ready at short notice. Each train in the "shadow" service carries a code number which has its own gnificance for railway staffs. For instance, "ABC 4217" might mean that a locomotive and 40 trucks must be at Depot "A" to load up and' be ready to leave at 3 p.m. on a given day and steam, by an indicated route, to Port "X," arriving at 6 p.m. the following day.

The device, perfected by Owen MacLaren who was reported to have proved the invention successfully in Air Ministry tests, is expected to prove valuable to aviation, especially in airport construction. Planes now land and take off facing into the wind, requiring the construction of several runways per field. $ut crabwise or tacking take-offs and landings would make only one strip necessary.
