A 8oM1tkaDIo QporntiOn-
Lizzie Lucas is bright six-year-old
girl, and has been patient in the Man
haitian Hospital, New York. Her father,
Captain Lucas, is the master of clipper
ship which makes regular trips around
Cape Horn to San Francisco. As the
captain believes in making his ship his
home his wife always goes with him, and
Lizzie was born in gale Of wind which
kept him fooling around the Horn for
twelve days. She grew up on board Of
the ship, and soon showed disposition
to follow the nimble sailors aloft. One
afternoon Lizzie fell from the rigging
upon the deck, striking on her right side,
and sustaining compound fractme>of
the right leg. AS the ship was then
1000 miles away from any port, expert
surgical treatment was out Of the ques-
ton, and when the bone finally knit it
made serious defofmity. The leg was
twi ted and bent or turned outward
nearly at right angle, and was Of no
use whatever. The child, when she
could get up, hobbled around on q
crutch.
When the vessel reached New York
the little girl was taken to private
house, where she remained with her
mother for several months, the captain
being again on the high seas, and then
Lizzie was taken to the hospital. The
crooked leg was carefully examined by
several surgeons and an Esmarc's band
age was wound tightly around the leg
until the blood had been forced out Of
the extremity. When this had been
done continuous incision was made
with a scalpel over the place where the
bone had been fractured The foot and
the exposed bone were then wiped per-
feetly dry and the serious work began.
The surgeon, man of more than average
strength, seized the foot with one hand
and the bone with the other, and then,
throwing all his weight and strength into
the movement, gave q sudden twist for
the purpose of breaking the bone at the
fracture. It did not even crack. Sew
eral others tried their hand, with no bet
ter result. The resistance Of the bone
was said to be due to its elasticity. The
leg had to be broken in some way or the
operation would end in failure A ma
chinist's hammer was then produced of
large size. The leg was placed so that
the inside of the foot and the hip joint
rested upon the table A small block of
wood was then laid across the bone, q
pressure was put upon the thigh, and the
surgeon struck several blows in quick
succession, and fiually broke the bone.
It was badly out Of shape, and after re-
peated trials was got in good position
and reset. To hold the bone securely q
bandage which had been previously
soaked in plaster of Paris solution was
wound tightly around it. This hardened
in few moments, and the muscles of
the leg were immovable. It is now some
time since the operation, and the wound
has healed. There is every evidence
that the bone has united, and cure will
be effected. The leg is a tribe shorter
than the well one, but it is believed that
this can be corrected with the use of
weights, and that the little girl, when
she is able to walk, will not even limp.

Singing for Their Wages.

The Kafir's love for music is often
put to uses that Europeans would never
think Of, says q correspondent of the
San Francisco Examiner, writing Of the
diamond mines of South Africa. While
] was at the Leydenberg mines we had
about 200 of them employed digging a
water ditch. After some time the funds
of the Office gave oat. They were EN-
ployed by the month and they always
collected their wages when the new moon
first showed his crescent in the west.
They could never understand, however,
why one month should have more days
in it than another. Among these 200
employees there were number Of rebel
ious spirits, and they succeeded in con-
vincing the rest that the white man was
cheating them according to the calendar.
When the money ran out, as said be,
fore. the Kafirs were put off till the next
month; but the manager of the mines
found out that this wouldn't do, as the
employees struck and prepared to leave.
II was most amusing to study the STRAIT
agems that were used to obtain their
wages. Every morning, going to work,
all through the day, and every evening
returning to their huts, that little army
of picks and shovels and swarthy faces
kept up monotonous song with the full
power of their splendid lungs:
kona male mania slope,
kona male mania slope,
Bassos, tenors, and the sopranos by
the little boys all in one grand chorus,
singing:
There is no money at Waterfall,
There Is no money at Waterfall.
4 Waterfall was the name of the mine.
It was useleas for the Californian fore
man to tell them to stop their noise
Hope male boss?,' Where is oui
money '-was a!ternated to their first re-
frain. And this was kept up for several
days, the first thing in the morning and
the last thing at night, and more than
once the whole camp was reused from its
slumbers in the middle of the night By
the chcIus from the KaffiI huts: 81 kona
male mania slope = The upshot was that
the whole country was getting to know
the financial straits of the company,
which at that time was not at all de
sirable. So the manager called them tc
the Office one day and paid them all off
saying that he would never. employ ONT

fall. In the evening they gathered ar
their blankets and mats and set out on
their march for home, four abreast, across
the Yeldt, still singing Across the plain
and down the valley and up the noun
tain, where they looked like an army oil

their voices were waited to us on tho

When the Zoo gets possession Of q
animal that won't eat, the vulgar Nigh
say it was a very happy thing for the
Garden. It costs thousands out Of ths
income to feed beast, bird and fish; and
when they get reptile which manifests
decided disinclination to eating, it il
reasonable to think the managers of the
Gardens finances would draw an easier
breath.
This animal that doesn't eat is the
iguana, all the way from Brazil. The
State Beard of Fisheries Commissions Of
Massachusetts first got him They never
gave themselves any concern about the
triding incident Of his not eating. He
was presented to the Geological Society
of Phiadelphia, with the agreement
that, ii he should die, the remains were
to be forwarded to the Smithsonian In
stitution for examination and inquiry.
The point which the Fisheries Commits
sioners seemed to be in doubt about was
the physiology Of his chewing apparatus.
In other words, they were not sure
whether this reptile is capable Of work
ing the same amount Of injury as ven
omous snake.
Its head has the shape Of large snake,
except that it is horny on top, very like
rhinoceros on small scale, and is
crested like. rooster, the comb-like
teeth running back from the tips of his
nose to the remotest corner Of his tail.
The neck is fiabby and partly covers the
head when drawn back another point
Of resemblance to the rhinoceros on a
small scale. The bodyeis from ten to
twelve inches long; the length over al,
as if speaking of the, distance between
the stem and stern of ship, is about
four feet. The color is something like
gold dust. It has q bronze hue, with
small specks running through it like
crystals of a golden hue. The body has
feet with repulsive looking claws, and
the head, which is large, has wide
mouth.
When this sunny specimen came to
the Zoo, the rattlesnakes were shifted
from their quarters in one Of the large
glass cases into one Of smaller dimen-
sions, and the iguana was given home
big enough for his body, but not quite
long enough for his TAIL. This he holds
in horse hoe-eurve position, and puts
in nearly all his time sleeping.
For days after he came: the keepers of
fered him every tempting article ofreptile
food they could think of, but without the
least success. It made no difference
whether it was bread, or corn, or mouse,
or kitten. The iguana ignored them
in cold silence. The keepers were getting
worried. Days passed without the Bra
lillian curiosity passing any reptile nour-
ishment into his dige tive interior. The
problem was just as annoying as it was
curious.
Finally, by mere accident, Head Keeper
Byrnes threw rose into the cage. His
iguanaship opened his eyes wide, smacked
his lips voraciously, and the next thing
that rose was gone. The iguana looked
as If he could have eaten another one, and
several were brought. One after another
the strange reptile from Brazilswallowed
them all with calmness and deliberation.
Since then roses are kept growing all the
time in the lighthouses to supply the
iguana's stomach, and stranger than all,
he is actually growing fat. philadelphia
