Conclusions OF a Cincinnati Surgeon WI
Grated Bones,

Conclusions OF Cincinnati Surgeon Who
Grated Bones.
Bone-grafting is the topic uppermost with
DR.. d. Merrill Ricketts, of Cincinnati, says
a Washington Cd. c. correspondent of the
Globe Democrat. During the past year DR..
Ricketts, has conducted a series of expert
ments. SIS ooner or later" be said with
great confidence, ''all of the bones of the
lower animals, except the vertebTa, will be
transplanted into men," This remarkable
prediction is based upon the results of
number Of experiments and Of close observa-
ton. But DR.. Ricketts, warns the profession
that bone cannot be transported in
week. II takes nine months to complete the
transplanting Of tlbia, one of the leg
bones. II will give ffty-dollar BILL" he
said, "to anybody who will show me the
union of bone in one animal with bone
in another animal formed in less than
twenty-sX days"
DR.. Ricketts, carries around in his pocket
souvenir OF his recent grating. Tie bone
from one animal is firmly united to the bone
OF another. Bone, he says, cannot be
grated TO anything bat bone Another
thing his experiments have taught him is
that bones cut with knife unite much more
readily and satisfactorily than If saw is
used. Il have not been able to save finger
where the bone was severed by saw" he
said, but | have saved fingers where the
bone was divided by knife" The removal
of fragments of bone in the cases of bad
fracture is a mistake, DIR. Ricketts, thinks
He would even pick up fragments which had
been knocked entirely out OF the body,
cleanse them and restore them.
The capacity OF bones for reunting and
restoring their integrity, even when In frag-
ments, Is one Of the grand things which re-
cent experiments are teaching. An Edin-
burgh doctor has recently performed the
remarkable feat of restoring full third of
the radius, one of the main bones of the
arm. DR.. Ricketts, is engrossed in the sub
ject of bone surgery, and he t@.ixs about it
on slight provoeatl0n. He says that the
proper method, when there is a fracture
about the character OF which the surgeon
has any doubt, is TO use the knife and cut
right into the location of the fracture, and
then feel Ahnnt with fha fnOar mill the ax-

The Intelligence That Exists Between
the Mahout and the Brute.
In instituting a comparison between the
intelligence Of dog and an elephant, Sir S.
Baker decides in favor of the former, who,
when the days work is over, lies down and
sleeps before the fire at his masters feet
and dreams Of the dangers and exploits of
the hunt" Sir S. Baker seems to have for
gotten the old story In Esop's fables, where
the horse was jealous Of the dog, and tried
to ingratiate itself with his master by imi-
tatiug its rivals habits Of fawning on its
master and jumping on his lap, says writer
In LOngman's Magazine.
OF course the horse Jared badly In the con-
tTast. And so would the elephant if he were
to try to initiate the dog and cnrl up at his
masters feet before the campfire
But Sir S. Baker himself acknowledges
that the elephant is instructed and guided

thus: 81 dc not know a more agreeable

A double parachute jump from a balloon

The old practice of setting bones bindly,
putting the broken limbs into splints and
letting them take their course, hit or miss,
must be discarded OF course very simple
fractures, where there is no doubt in the
mind of the surgeon, may be treated in the
old way, but no chances ought TO be taken
about the case where a simple excision and
exploration with the finger will make sure

He Sacrificed His Life to Save the Lives
of Many Passengers.
Strange and thrilling are many of the
tales which engineers retail when they
gather in friendly companies. Take this
story in point:
On October %, 1882, the lis o'clock in
the afternoon local train of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad left tie Jersey City depot as
usual. Every car was crowded In the
smOking-ear standing room only was OBJ
tainable. The tender Of the engine was at
tached directly to the smoking-car, with no
freight-car between. Suddenly the door
was burst violently open. The engineer
and fireman rushed in. Tongues of fire
followed them from the tender.
In moment everything was excitement.
The terrified passengers jumped up from
their seats. The fireman tried in vain to
reach the brake of the smoking car; there
was too great crush in the aisle. The en-
gineer said nothing; but, setting his teeth
h ard, he sprang upon the tender and
plunged back into the thick of the flames.
Presently the train slackened speed. On
the river bridge it stopped Water was
hauled up and cast over the flaming tender.
When the smoke cleared away the brave
engineer was found lying on the tank of the
tender, unconscious. He was taken to the
hospital and died in few days. He had
sacrificed himself 10 save the lives of his
passengers. Let us chronicle his name

..srILL COMPLETION SEEMS AFFAIR, >,

The following poem, written by Miss
L. Gertrude Waterhouse, was read by her
at the recent graduating exercises of the
Sacramento Grammar School. 1t pos
sesses real merit, and gives promise Of
rare poetic genius.l
Across a range of snowy-crested mountains,
And far beneath the blue of southern skies,
a haven sweet for many weary pilgrims,
Fair Italy, the land of sunshine lies.
And oh! how many, battling with the snow
drifts,
Would turn them back but for this golden
key
This wondrous saying, loved and oft repeated,
Beyond the Alps lies storied Italy,
We, too, are struggling over stony mountains.
Mid danger, toll and hardship, in the night:
But well we know beyond these rocky passes
Fair italy lies hidden from our sight.
We, too. have dreams, and search for their
Our ideal Statues, carven white and fair:
We long TO breathe the rose-twined gardens
Shed far abroad upon the sunny air.
We often pause and scan the path behind us,
While still the frowning nights our progress
Our feet are weary-we have toiled and
And still we find completion seems afar.
We find the way is often steep and stony,
We grow dlsheartered, TOO, and backward
To still press onward thro' the toll and danger
We find a lesson difficult to learn.
We look and yearn for those who've passed
beyond us.
Who wait us in the fruitful wales below;
Sometimes we catch an echo from their voices
And trace their footsteps printed In the
snow.
But oh, alas for those who pause and STUN
BILE
Who perish in the darkness Of the night,
And fail TO reach the pleasant land before
them,
Below the mountains steep and dizzy hight
When we have read Alright stern puty's pages
AS if by magic will the lniStS uproll;
And someIimeall our victories and failures
Will be engraved upon the blazing scroll.
All barriers, all harGships yet may aid us;
We know that "every hand can make OF
mar"
And we shall learn to love 1t as q motto,
This truth, that 'still completion seems
afar."
All those who toll with calm and noble pa
tlence,
Tho long and difficult the rocky way,
Shall find purer air, bluer heaven,
And morning but the herald of the day.
They, too, snail ieel the cooling, spicy breezes
That blow with healing from the far-off sea
And they shall hasten, 10 the ringing music
From snowy Alps to sunny Italy.
