Doctors Say This Can Be Done Through
the Transplanting of Skin.


Doctors Say This Can BE Done Through
the Transplanting of Skin.
Provided a victim could be found for |
the skinning operation surgical skill is
equal to the feat of turning a negro's
skin permanently white. The question |
of the transposition of color IN the !
cuticle of the two races has been given
q local and peculiar interest by an expe- |
rim ent in the grating of the skin OF a
negro upon a white man just performed
by Dr. John Ege, of Reading, Pa.
The experiment of DIR. Eye was made
fol the purpose Of healing a wound on
the leg of a white man, and If it sue
ceeded in this it was all that was ex-
pected of it. Not only did it do this,
but as the wound began to heal DIR.
Eye was surprised to notice the thirty
particles of black skin transplanted
were gradually losing their color, and by
the time the wound had entirely healed
the new surface was as white as If the
cuticle belonged by nature to the spot
to which it was transplanted. This re-
suit was surprising to the doctor, be-
cause medical men have hitherto de-
clared that colored skin wherever trans
planted would retain it's color. 1t seems
probable now, therefore, that some OF
the theory of sl1in-grafting may under
| go a change, and that in the future one
may be enabled to change ones skin as
easily as the Partisan belle the color of
her hair.
A physician in seriously discussing the
matter said that the original cause of
the difference in the color of the skin of
different races is still matter of some
| dispute. Some authorities on the sub
iect maintain that it is attributable sole
ly to climate. In contradiction to this,
h1wever, other authorities prove that
the dark color Of the skin does not de-
pend on geographical position nor even
altogether on racial purity by the fact
that the extremes of the chromatic scale
are found throughout the whole negro
domain.
DIR. j. V. Shoemaker, the eminent
dermatologist of this city, in speaking
of the result of DIR. Ege's experiment,
said that in his opinion negros skin
grated upon a white man would prob
dOIy lOoC 1bo SOAOI3 RAONOSo u S~S
ting disturbing the cells containing the
coloring matter. DR.. II. G. Boeuning,
demonstrator of anatomy at the Medi-
| co-Chirurgica1 college, also holds this
opinion, but at the same time says it il
imperative that the particles of slir
transplanted should be very minute, a.
in the case of DR.. Ege's experiment
DIR. Boenning also said that while col
ored skin Vransplanted on white NAL
will lose its color and become white
white skin grated upon negro woul'
never become black. From this it vii
be seen that although negro nigh
possibly be turned white, those whit
!, persons who are so enamored OF tn
soft, glossy, unctuous epidermis of tn
negro as to desire change are de
barred by nature from indulging thei
: peculiar taste.-Chicago News.

WAYS OF THE BADGER.
some PecuIiarities of a Very InterestIn
Animal.

Some Peculiarities of q Very Interesting
Animal.
Of the few animals which now in
habit the woods and the hillsides, per-
haps the badger is the least known to
the general public. He is nocturnal, in
the first place; and his coloring, being
in broken tones, does not readily arrest
the eye. His head, chin and neck are
white, with brownish-black bands rum
ming on either side from the nose over
the eyes and ears. His upper parts are
light gray sprinkled with black, the
lower parts brownish black; his fore
feet are long and stout. his limbs mus
cular, his jaw powerful and his teeth
sharp; in fact, he is well set up as far
as these formidable weapons are con-
eerned. The usual length of the animal
is little over three feet, but in his
family, as well as in the human race,
there are large and small individuals.
Take his general appearance as he
| logs along, and small bear is at once
suggested to your mind. Many of his
wavs. too, are bear-like; he will lie up
in the winter and eat vegetable as well
/ as amman OOIlC OOA1CA
that are supposed to be strictly car
nivorous, will eat fruit when they can
get it.
The badger, poor beasti is getting
scarce; more's the pity, from the anil
NAL collectors and naturalist's point of
view. He generally manages to dis
pense with the observation OF the lat
ter; for, unless his ways are well
known, he will escape from place
that might have been supposed strong
enough to hold rhinoceros. All his
family have been excavators from the
beginning, on the most scientific prin
ciples. Unless you take the greatest
precautions, he will dig himself out and
get away in quick time. He is mos

ssFallaeious means likely to fall, as

the course of an essay on the use OF
pictures in schools, said: Sight is a gift
of nature, for without sight pictures
would be of very little use" In the
certificate examination a second year
student wrote: ''Constantinople was
formerly not belonging to England, and
was a dull place, as the Turks generally
are, but since it has belonged to us it
has frightened up, and is now the key

Ka1akaua.s Ancestry.

The death of King Kalakaua in
foreign land, twenty-one hundred miles
from his kingdom, recalls the death of
his predecessor, Kamehameha H., in
London, nearly sixty-six years ago.
Kamehameha II. succeeded his father,
Kamehameha I. the Great, in 1919,
when the old native religion was be-
ginning to give way before the whites.
American missionaries arrived in 1920,
and soon thereafter the king abolished
the tabu and idolatry. On November
q, 1928, the king, who had long desired
to travel, sailed for London on a British
man-of-war, accompanied by his queen,
Kamehamalu, and suite. They were
received by George ~. and attracted
much attention in London. Early in
July, 1924, they were attacked by a
malignant form of measles, and on the
14th the king died; the queen died
shortly afterward The man-of-wal
Blonde was detailed to carry the re
mains of the king and queen to theil
kingdom, and on May 8, 1925, it arrived
at Honolulu, where the dead soyereigni
were buried. Chicago News.

attorney for the young woman. whose name was
Marie Richard, and that she had been deserted
by her lover, Leo GRADER, who. she believed,
was then staying in Highland Falls
Four years ago the girl met GRADER in the
village in which they both lived in Alsace,
Germany, and she became his accepted sweet
heart. GRADER was enlisted in the German
army and was ordered TO Africa. Before he
went he gave and received from Marie pledges
of fidelity. Then his term OF service expired
and the young soldier returned to his native
village, found his Marie to be the prettiest
woman In the village, and. Marie says, lac
seemed TO love her more than ever. Then
came a change. Leo became less affectionate
and his visits less frequent, aud she finally
learned that he had taken a steamer for New
York. She also took passage for New YORK.
She met the attorney referred to. He became

would receive money from his former home.
Upon inquiry at the banking house Of Lazard

that he had requested that il be forwarded 10

Justice Carpenter issued q warrant for the
arrest Of Leo. He found by Constable

was taken to Highland Falls where he was
confronted by the girl. She implored hin,
with tears streaming down her cheeks to re-

was sullen and unmoved but when the girl
| talked to him of old times he relented and
atoned for his misdeeds by marrying her at
once. The ceremony was performed by Judge
Carpenter.
The couple took a train for New York
