August members of the German Scientific Society learned that Surgeon Ferdinand Sauerbruch of Munich would tell them, at their conference at Karlsruhe, Germany, last week, how he squeezed tubercular pus out of the lungs of consumptive patients. They thronged to hear him. The operation? artificial pneumothorax?is by no means new. An Irish doctor, James Carson of Liverpool, figured it out theoretically in 1821; and during 1894-95 an Italian, Forlanini, worked out the full, practical method.

...Natural History, who had visited every world's fair since the Philadelphia Centennial of 1876. Announcement of the Towne bequest sent experts in agriculture, animal industry, mining and metallurgy, transportation, engineering, aeronautics, etc., etc., flocking to Europe to study exhibits in such places as the German Museum in Munich, which contains replicas or originals of epochal contrivances, including James Watt's first steam engine, Diesel's oil-compression engine, Dunlop's original rubber tires. The finding of these experts will assist Chicago's industrialists as well as New York's, in assembling a record...
