Two distinguished signers were still alive John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Twenty-fiv- e years had elapted since Adams was president and seventeen since Jefferson left the white house. On that day, says Charles Francis Adams In hia biography of his grandfather, "from one end of the country to the other wherevtr Americans were gathered together, the names of Adams and Jefferson were coupled In accents of gratitude and praise Party passions were completely drowned In the flood of national feeling which overspread the land" Says Sir George Otto Trevelyan All day long Adams was sinking rapidly and without pain His last audible remark is said to have been, Thomas Jefferson still survives But such was not the case. Jefferson died at noon on that Fourth of July and Adams shortly before sunset There are few more striking circumstances and no more remarkable coincidences In history " Coincidence Tells by the 8mell.

A very simple method of locating In bones, particularly In fractures long ones, by the aid of a tuning fork. Is proposed by a Chicago surgeon. A stethoscope is placed over the bone as near as possible to the point of suspected fracture and on the side whiru the skin is thinnest Then a vibrating tuning fork is placed against the flesh near the hone, but on the other side of the fracture If possible. If the bone is continuous, a distinct clear sound w ill be heard In the stethoscope, but If the break la the two, this sound will be faint ami irregular, as the vibrations will not be transmitted past the break. of course this method depends upon the fact that hard hone la an excellent conductor of vibration, while tissue is not. Perhaps even a more of this idea valuable application would be In finding out when a break has knitted properly, for when the joining Is again perfect the sound will be as clear as that of an unbroken bone.
