Skin Grating.

1t has for long time been customary for
persons who have lost their scalps or other
large portions of outer skin to undergo re.
pairs by means of an operation known as
"skin. grating" This consists of cutting
bits of healthy skin from living persons
and binding them firmly on the place
where new growth of skin is required.
In the case of young girl whose hair and
scalp had been suddenly torn off by some
mill.machinery, several dozen of her friends
each contributed section of skin for her
benefit. The result was that eventually
the lady was patched up 50 as to be as good
as new. Skin-grafting has its difficulties
and objections. One trouble is that the
cutting of pieces of skin from living per.
sons is very painful operation, although
by no means a dangerous one. A skilful
surgeon at Bellevue Hospital, New York,
recently conceived an idea which revOlu.
tionizes the operation Of skin grating. He
had patient who suffered from severe
and extensive burn and who needed con.
siderable repair. lie proposed cutting skin
from healthy part of this patients body,
to make good the deficiency. The patient
objected to enduring the pain, and he also
refused to have skin cut from persons, for
he was unwilling to ask others to suffer for
his benefit such pain as he could not bear
In this emergency the surgeon tried the ex-
pertinent of taking skin from corpse.
Selecting that of man who had Just died,
and making sure that his death was not
the result of any poisonous disease, he
grated the freshly.cut skin on the place
| where it was needed In three days it
began to unite, and in a week the new skin
was perfect. Delighted with his success,
DIR. Girdner tried again and again, and with
uniformly pleasing results. The strangest
part of it is his discovery as to skin pig.
ment. He has grated the skin of a de.
ceased colored person on living white
man, and that of q white corpse on living
negro. In every case the skin has assumed
the color of the person on whose body it is
fixed. This shows that the color of colored
persons proceeds from influences which are
more than skin deep, and not as has been
generally supposed entirely from the pig
ment cells directly underlying the epder
mis-. DR.. Girdner's adaptation Of the skin
of corpses to the repair of living persons is
one of those triumphs of economic surgery
of which modern science may we'll be

BISHOP SIMPSON GIVES UP His TRIP TO
CHINA-B Bishop Simpson, having been ap-
pointed to hold the NJ. f. Conferences in
China and Japan during the coming aut-
umn, recently departed for California, ac.
companied by his wife and daughters. On
arriving in that city his wife became too
i'll to attempt the journey to Yokohama,
where the first conference was to be held
on August 70. Owing to the short time re-
naming before the steamer sailed, Bishop
Harris, of New York, who was telegraphed
to, was unable to appoint substitute, and
so the conferences will, it is thought, have
to be conducted without the presence of a
bishop. Bishop Simpson will return to
Philadelphia as soon as Mrs. Simpsons
health will permit.
