ACuRIouS OPERATION.
Opening the Sheath Of the Optic Nerve
to Cure Blindness.

English surgeons have devised
new and benefcent operation by
which the sheath of the optic nerve
behind the eye is opened, and not
only is the pressure upon the nerve
removed and total or almost total
blindness cured, but the brain itself
is relieved. The membranes which
invest the brain and are continued
down to the eye in the form of a
sheath which surrounds the optic
nerve secrete certain amount of
fluid, and whenever there is an ex-
cess Of this secretion, or by other
means, as by the growth Of brain
tumor, the pressure within the cav
ity of the skull is increased, a su-
perabundance of fluid is apt to find
it's way down the nerve sheath to
the level of the eye: subjecting the
optic nerve to injurious pressure,
and frequently destroying the sight.
The blindness may be permanent,
even the pressure in the brain cav
ity which causes it may be tempo
rary and be cured. DR.. De Wecker
of Paris, sixteen or seventeen years
ago, suggested that it might be pos
sible to open the optic nerve sheath,
and thus not only relieve the nerve
from pressure, but also to drain the
brain cavity, and relieve the brain
pressure there. He made the ex-
pertinent in this line upon two near
ly hopeless cases, but he tried to
feel his way to the nerve without
the aid of sight, and to cut the
sheath by means of an instrument
carrying a concealed knife which
was projected by a spring. Only
one other attempt of this sort was
made, and the results not being
satisfactory, the experiments were
dropped until last year, DR.. Brude-
nell Carter of London developed a
method Of operating by which the
sheath was exposed to view, and
every step Of the operation was
guided by the surgeons eye. In a
paper read before the British Med
ical Association at its recent meet
ing in Glasgow, DR.. Carter told of
four cases in which he had per-
formed the operation. In one the
result was negative SO far as the
sight was concerned; in the other
three the patients were not only
quickly restored to sight, but were
relieved or cured of headache and
sickness arising from pressure on
the brain. DR.. Carter claims that
the new operation could be per-
formed with certainty and without
risk, either to life Or to any impor-
tant structure.-N. Y. Sun.

A Yankee has established a ter
rapin farm about sixty miles from
Mobile. An enclosure OF about
three acres in extent contains sew
eral bitches 100 feet in length and
ten feet in width, and these are filled
with salt water by two canals. In
these bitches about 10000 turtles
are domesticated. In winter they
lie inbeded in the mud, and are
very convenient creatures to keep,
seeing at this season they never eat
anv food. The turtles cost about

AUDITOR GENERAL NORRIS
DEAD.

Colonel Wilson A. Norris, Auditor
General Of Pennsylvania died at his
residence in Philadelphia, Monday
morning at Z o'clock. The immedi-
ate cause of his death was congestion
Of the brain. Col. Norris was in
unusually good health and spirits at
the time Of tho meeting Of the late
Republican Convention, in which
body he presented Judge Mitchel's 5
name for the judicial nomination in
q speech Of vigor aud force. This
was the last act of his unusually ac-
tive career. Soon after the Couven-
tion he was taken suddenly i'll, the
result of q neglected cold, and was
never able to rally. Colonel Norris
was born in Lewstown, Pa, in 1912,
and consequently at the time of Lie
death was i6 years of age.
