FROM RABBIT TO MAN.
Something Extraordinary in Progress
i've Surgery.
Ftom the Philadelphia Record

Froue the Philadelphia Record.
Some DAYS ago mention was made of the
successful transportation of part Of a rab
bits eve to the eye of man. Now comes
the London Times with something similar.
Here it is:
We published on Saturday an extract
from medical journal containing an ac-
count of the successful trarsplantation of
nerve from a rabbit to man; but the history
of this new departure in surgery was so
yelled behind orthodox technicalities as to
be scarcely at all calculated to convey to
the general reader the amount of informa-
ton which the Importance of the subject
seems likely to render acceptable. The
operation was performed by DR.. Gersung
of Vienna, and the patient was Prof. Won
Fieischl. the distinguished occupant OF the
chair of physiology in in the university of
that city. 1t appears that Dr; Won Flelschi
sixteen years ago accidentally wounded
himself while conducting post-mortem
examination, and that the consequent
severe inflammation Of his right arm and
hand led ultimately to the loss OF the ter
minal Joint of his thumb The end Of the
stump became painful, and, in the hope of
relieving this pain, amputation somewhat
furthur back was performed. but was fol-
lowed. according to the report, by the for
nation of 'neuromata." At this point the
history becomes n little vague because the
word ''neuroma," which is most properly
applied to a class of tumors which form
upon nerves, and which consist mainly of
redundant nerve tissue, is applied with less
exactness TO tumors of other kinds OF which
nerves may be the seat, and is applied also
to dubious enlargement Of the proximal
examinations of divided nerves, enlarge
ments which sometimes occur after the best
performed amputations, which seem to de-
pend on some personal popularity Of the
patient, which are liable to recur again and
again after repeated amputations further
back. and which are attended by the most
agonizing suffering. 1t may be presumed
that the neuromata OF Prof. Won Fleischl
we're of the latter class, and, in the hope
of obtaining relief, he underwent several
fruitless operations, which were directed TO
dissecting out and removing portions OF
the nerves implicated, without recourse be-
inc had TO more extended amputation of
other structures He appears TO have been
deprived, in succession, 1of considerable
pieces of the nerves supplying the stump of
the thumb, both sides OF the forefinger and
the inner side of the middle finger, but
after every such operation the former con-
ditions we're renewed in the portions which
we're left, while the history Of many similar
cases had been such as to justify tho most
dismal forecasts of his future In these cir
cumstances tho idea Of repairing the nerves
and Of replacing the missing portions by

What Is Said in Bangor OF the Mail
Car Tragedy.

BANGOR, June 13.-The friends of Sellon

Guilty in doing so. Sellon is calm and hope
full. Eminent lawyers in Bangor predict his
acauittal on the ground that his kill ing of
Sinclair was done in seli-defence, and will
be considered justifiable homicide. One Of
the most prominent legal lights in Maine
said to a reporter yesterday that the case
was briefly this: SellOn was In charge of
his department. His subordinate, Sinclair,
was in rebellion. He came into Sellon's ter
itory and committed assault. He was
powerful man and could handle any man in
the service, it is said, and easily overpower-
ed Sellon, who, in self-defence, in his house,
SO to speak, took the only means at COM
maDd to preserve his safety.
The case however is practically settled un-
til the second Tuesday of August, when it
will be tried in the supreme judicial court

BIG HUNTING.
How the Game Is Ragged for Muse
ums and MenagerIes.

Carl Loshe. the agent of an animal store
at New York, &c years old, tall, courageous
and modest, tells the New York Tribune
adventures while gathering supplies for me-
nageries. 1t is considerable undertaking
to conduct an African expedition.
81 pick out two or three Germans" Loshe
said, "and start out about November. We
take $4,000 in silver with us in old Austrian
money, the Maria Theresa dollars. We go to
Trieste thence through the Suez canal to
Suez. There we take an Egyptian steamer
and go to Suakim. AT Suakim we have to
buy dozen or more camels to carry the bag
gage, ammunition, rifles, etc., and we have
to hire drivers also. 1t takes four camels to
carry the silver. Camels used for carrying
purposes cost $40 each, while riding camels
are worth 800 each.
'From Suakim we journey across the Nu-
bian Desert, trip of IS or 20 days. We
travel only in the night on account of the
fierce heat, in the day time making shelter
for ourselves against the suns blasting rays.
Sometimes we encounter a sirocco a terrific
whirlwind that sweeps the sand before it in
binding blasts. When a siroeco springs up
the day suddenly grows dark. Then the
camels instinotively bury their heads in the
sand and we wrap ourselves In blankets and
curl up in holes in the sand that we have
made and wait until the storm has blown
over. There are II military stations along
the route garrisoned with soldiers who pro,
tect the telegraph. Our destination is Cassa-
la, an old Egyptian post of 10000 inhabitants.
There we purchase an extra supply Of 20 or
80 camels, some lumber for crates and take
in new supply of provisions. The game
has long ago been shot off the desert and we
have to live on preserved meats. Next WE
strike out towards the east and after journey
ing five or six days we arrive to the district
Of Homrahan on the Settle river, our final
destination"
