Not even the spinal cord, incased
though it Is in its thick bony envelope,
is sacred to the surgeons knife. A boy
9years of age was admitted recently to
the Mount Sinai hospital suffering from
a complete paralysis of his lower ex-
tremities and the lower half Of the body.
This condition had developed very sud-
denly. On arising from his bed one
morning he found himself unable to
stand or to use his legs. He had JUS
tanned no injury, his general health was
fair. On examination it was found that
he had a marked prominence over the
spine in its upper portion, giving rise to
a deformity such as is commonly seen
in hunchbacks, and which is the result
of an infiammatory disease affecting the
vertebre, and known as Potts disease.
The spinal cord is a dependency of the
brain, and really is its continuation, and
lies within a bony canal formed by the
bones of the spine. The nerves issuing
from it govern the power of motion and
sensation of those parts of the. body to
which they are distributed, and any in
reference with them destroys their func-
ton and paralysis more or less complete
ensues, although sensation may be re-
tanned, for the sensor nerves are given
off from a different portion of the cord.
From this physiological fact it was at
once surmised that the boys paralysis
was due to some pressure upon the roots
of the motor nerves governing the lower
limbs, and an operation was decided upon.
The patient having been placed under
the influence of ether, a longitudinal
incision, including all the tissues down
to the spine, was made over the site of
the prominence, the skin and muscles
were lifted up together and the dorsal
aspect of the vertebre exposed and the
projection sawed off, thus opening up
the canal in which the cord lies, where
upon a considerable bullying was per-
ceived. This membrane was divided, re-
vealing al abscess which was thoroughly
emptied, the swelling disappearing en-
tirely. The opening made in the mem
brane was closed by fine catgut sutures
and the wound was dressed. The paral-
ysis did not improve for some time, but
it gradually disappeared.-New York

Because He Was Not Up in Geography.
A curious incident regarding a strait
occurred during the Russian war. 1t
would have been ludicrous, if anything
can be ludicrous connected with war.
Commodore Elliot was b~lockading a
Russian squadron in the Gulf of Sagha-
lin, on the east coast of Siberia. Think
ing he had the Russians in a cul de sac
ne c~omplacently waited FOR them to
come out, as the water was too shallow
for him to attack them. AS the enemy
did not come out he sent in to investi-
gate, and found to his establishment
that Russians and ships had vanished.
While he had been waiting for them in
the south they had quietly slipped out
by the north, teaching both him and the
British government a rather severe les
son in geography, as it had been thought
that Saghalin was an isthmus, and they
were totally of a narrow chan
mel leading from the gulf to the Sea of
Okhotsk.-Chambers' Journal.

The wooden parts of tools, such as
stock of planes and handles of chisels,
are often made to have a nice appear
ance by French polishing, but this adds
nothing to their durability. A much
better plan is to let them soak in lipseed
oil for a week, and rub them with n
cloth for a few minutes every day for e.
week or two. This produces a beauti-
full surf ace, and exerts a solidifying and
Dreserv;ltive action on the wood.

Among the stories related in Mr.. Will
lam Archer's new life of Macready. the
actor, is this: Macready had won dis
tinction in the provinces, and wishing to
appear in London sought Lord Byron's
influence to procure a N engagement at
Drury Lane. Among other things the
person who spoke to Lord Byron in his
behalf mentioned that Macready was "a
nan of excellent character. ''Ah, then"
said Lord Byron, Il suppose he asks five
pounds a week more for his morality"
and the negotiation fell through.

Adventures of Boats Crew
Lost From a Whaler.

When the whaling bark Charles w. Nor
gan arrived in port from cruise, about
three weeks ago. Captain Layton reported
that in the Okhotsk Sea one of his boats
had made fast to whale and been lowed
out of sight of The vessel. Although the
Morgan cruised around for three or four
days in the hopes of picking the boat up,
nothing was seen of it, and as the weather
was very bad it was feared that the crew of
six men had been drowned. Fortunately,
this was not the case, as was ascertained
yesterday when the steamer China arrived,
bringing four of the missing men, They
are: Second Mate Ii. A. Martin, Boat
steercr William Griffiths and James Cook
and John Peters. The other two, Thomas
Stephenson and b. +. Hargrave, remained
at HOng-Kong.

Ing account of the adventures of the boats

was big fellow, and tore through the water
like the wind. We hung to it for two
hours, and then darkness coming on we cut
loose. The ship was then out Of sight and
we made sail and attempted to find her, but
were unsuccessful, so we lay to for the
night. The next day was foggy, and we
could see nothing OF the Morgan, so we
headed for the land. We had nine pounds
of bread and small keg of water In the
boat.
-Four days after We left the ship we
reached little fishing village on Saghalien
island. on the Siberian coast. We were
nearly famished when we landed. The
natives were kind to us. but had nothing to
give US but fish. We remained at the village
two days and then sailed our boat around to
another small village, called Ocumpa. The
natives here were friendly and we stayed
with them for twenty-five days. AT the end
of that time the natives took us overland 70

The governor there told us that big ship
