Boston Letter to the Albany Argus.l
A feat quite unprecedented in what has
been called decorative surgery" was execut-
reeetly by surgeon in one of Boston's city
hospitals. The operation in question invoI-
ed the construction Of new nose-no novel;
ty itself in medical science-for woman
who had been afflicted from birth by the
want of one. The remarkable part of the
achievement lay in the building mp of q
bridge for the organ, none whatever having
been supplied by nature. Hitherto it had
been customary, for such purposes, to take
pieces of flesh from the forehead or arm of
the subject and graft them about the nostrils
in as good shape as might be-thus produc-
ing in the case of a person. whose nasal bone
and cartilage are lacking, putty-like excres-
eence far from beautiful. The case in point
however, was proceeded with in very differ
ent manner First the woman's nose-what
there was of twas sliced in two and the
Fl apps turned back upon the cheeks. Then
young chicken was killed, and piece of the
brest bone, of proper shape, united to the
root of the nasal member on the skull by sill
yer wires. Then the flesh of the old nose
was carefully stretched over it by Egatures.
Plugs of cotton weresintroduced temporarily,
to give theinostrils their correct shape and
the physician's task was complete. The new
bone promptly became united with its attach
ment, the wound healed, and the operation
has now been declared perfect success. The

VOLCANOES IN JAPAN.
An Eruption which Caused Grea
Loss of Life.
I,oIl IalI

From the Pail Mall Budget.i
Or late years Japan, notwithstanding its
large number of active volcanoes stretching
from the north of Yesso to the south of Kin
shin, has been free from destructive erup-
tions. In 1874 some loss of life occurred in
an eruption on one of the islands outside of
the Bay of Yeddo, but we have to go back
to the last century for eruptions equaling In
destruction that just reported. Asamayama,
an active volcano about sixty miles to the
northwest of the capital, sent forth in 1888
lava stream, the course of which may still
be followed for many miles. It destroyed
fameus ancient forest and overwhelmed
number of villages. A large track of fertile
land was converted into a wilderness; thou
sands of people periahed either in the catas-
trophe itself or from subsequent starvation,
the ground for miles around being covered
to a depth of several feet with scorie, which
buried all vegetation. Animals were killed
in large numbers by the rain of red hot
stones and ashes. In 1871 it Is estimated
that ffty-three thousand persons lost their
lives by an eruption of Onsengatake.
But the most famous of all Japanese vol
canic eruptions was that of the far famed
Full in 1907, which lasted for two months,
during which q new crater was opened, and
the symmetrical, conical shape of the meun-
tain altered by the formation of new peak
| near the summit, nearly three thousand me-
ters in height. Eye witnesses, who have left
accounts of this appalling event, describe
the fields, houses and temples as being COM
| pletely covered with ashes. The discharges
from the crater were SO heavy and continu-
GUS that day was turned into night. Even
| in Yeddo, the capital, about fifty miles off as
the crow flies, the darkness was intense, and
everything was covered with the ashes, and
the roar of the mountain was distinctly
heard. To add to the horror, violent earth
iaH
wrought destruction along the coasts. OF
the number of lives lost no account could be
taken During the present century Japan
has been remarkably free from such disturb
ances, the present one being by far the most
destructive recorded.

The fire marshal of Boston asserts that
nearly one-tenth of the fires that occurred In
Boston during last year were due, directly or
indirectly, to the explosion or accidental
lighting of kerosene OIL The number of
fires caused in this way seems to have sug-
gested to the FIRE marshal the possibility that
the oil used in lamps and stoves was not as
safe an article as it might be, and, having
made purchases of oil at the places where
those who had suffered ere from this cause
alleged that they obtained their supplies, the
samples thus collected were submitted for
test to Professor Norton of the Institute of
Technology, and to Professor Chandler of Co
lumbia college. These two authorities re-
ported that the samples of kerosene oil sub
mitted to them for examination were far be-
low the standard required by the State for
lighting purposes that is, flashing point
of at least 100 degrees Fahr., and burning
point of at least lie degrees Fair. In order
to obtain still further information similar
samples were submitted to one of the oil in
spectors of Boston, with the result that he
found that the oil tested far above the stand
ard which the State had established.
This is an interesting condition of things
and tends to show that Boston cannot very
confidently rely upon the system of oil in-
spection which prevails there. The reason
for this is plain when 1t is understood that
the inspectors have practically but one en-
pioyer, the Standard Oil combination, as the
fees for inspecting the oil are paid by the
owner of the oil. This being the situation
the Boston Herald is right in saying: Two
things are necessary; one, that the laws of
this State respecting the sale and use of kero-
sene oil be amended and brought into con-
formity to the laws Of number of the States
Of the West, where much more regard seems
to have been paid to the safety of the citizen;
second, the present system of inspecting kerr
osens oil for the purpose of determining
whether it Is or Ia not safe needs to be radi-
callp changed, 50 that the ell sold here shall
be, not what the Standard OIL company de-
sires to nd itself of, but such oil as shall be
approved of as safe oil by thorough and i'm
partial examination,

Big Game I'm The West.

To judge by the letters which come to US in
quiring for Localities where big game, such as
elk, deer, antelope, bear, and mountain sheep
may be found, great many of the readers of
Forest and Stream are contemplating exped-
itions to the west this year. Such::correspon
dents must remember that the day of big
game plenty in the west is for ever past, and
that it is no longer possible to give explicit
directions where game can be found. The
west is rapidly settling up, there are few
spots where the hunters have not penetrated,
and the larger wild animals are constantly
driven from place to place. A section which
abounded in game last year may be desert
ed this season. Moreover, there is q good
deal of human nature among hunters, and it
can scarcely be expected, after they have
spent time and money-perhaps good deal
Of both-in discovering for themselves choice
localities where it is even yet possible to kill
enough meat to keep the camp going, that
they should reveal such situations to any one
who may choose to ask them for this infor-
nation. There.are still places in the Rocky
Mountains where fair hunting can be had but

simple one, being made on the same princi-
pie as the cutter of mower or reaper, and
the knives are worked by means of rods
within the handles, these in their turn being
moved by sore within long flexible tube,
which is kept in rotary shaft and wheels
driven by stationary engine. The comb is
in the form of segment Of a circle, about
three inches in diameter, with eleven conf

machine can be run either with steam or

fceholders, with zeal born of benefits re-
ceived and fostered by the hope of fayors yet
