Lucy Osborn, who had her scalp torn from
her head. by getting her hail caught in a re-
volving shaft in button factory at New Mil
ford, in this state, six years ago, is still an in
mate of st. Luke's Hospital in New York
During the past six years, the doctors have
been grating on new scalp by slow process,
and the operation as whole has been a sue
cess The material for building the scalp has
been furnished by hundreds Of volunteers, and
ouer Ia, 90 different pieces have entered into its
construction In the accident in which she
was injured the scalp was taken clean off, the
skin being peeled from the bone and taking
with it piece of the integument of the right
ear. The process of inducing the scalp to
grow is a slow and tedious one, and out of
$50 gratis which have been planted up to
May 1, 1875, but forty. had taken. = In 1877,
grating ceased for time and the head was
strapped with adhesive plaster to draw to-
gether the newly for1ned sskin, which appear
ed in patches over her head. u The patient
was discharged as improved July /, 1876, but
returned in the following September She
then had two uncovered spots on the head,
the larger four and one-half inches long
More grating was done, nearly covering these
Spots and the patient went home. During
the month of September just passed, she re-
turned with two ulcers on the back of her
head, andsis agaic undergoing the grating

cational status OF the German" army and navy
from statistics just published, according to
the military year 1s79ls0, Isl, $50 were ex,
iamined in the German language, only G, OO4
in another tongue Polish chiefly, while 2,217
were devoid of any school training. Those
who could neither read nor write numbered
1.57 percent of the entire number, as against
1.80 in the year 1S78-79, .73 in f877-7a g. 10
in 1879-77, and 2. 81 in 1876 from which it
would appear that education in the army and
navy has improved at the rate of nearly per
cent. during the last five years. The districts
which most requirethe rigorous supervision of
school board are East and West Prussia,
Posen, Bromberg, Oppeln, the Palatinate, and

The discovery of the planet Neptune in 1916
called forth from the late Professor Peirce a
review of Leverrier's calculations. Thedis.
covery had been made as the result of Lever.
rier's theory that the perturbatious in the orbit
of Uranus were due to the presence of an un.
discovered planet that then lay in the same
direction from the earth as Uranus Professor
Peirce showed, however, that the discovery
was remarkably fortunate accident; because,
though Leverrier had made his calculations
with wonderful accuracy, his ideal planet was
was only one of two distinct causes by which
the perturbatlons of Uranus could be explain.
ed. One of these Leverrier had calculated
correctly, while the planet Neptune. supplying
the other cause, happened to be in the same
straight line from the earth as Uranus only in
the year 1916. Mr.. PIERCE fret pronounced
this view in a communication to the American
Academy. 1t is related that Edward Everett,
who was present at the. meeting, laughed at
the notion of such a criticism upon the dis,
tinguished French astronomer, and asked to
have the communication kept secret, that
the association might not be brought into ridi-
Guile. The calculations were published, how
ever, and after meeting much criticism were
accepted.
