Last summer a young son of Mr..
Musser, of Bellefonte, says the Watch
man Of that place, built fire short
distance from his home for the purpose
Of roasting some potatoes. His
mother, seeing the fire, sent her daugh-
ter Mary, 10 years Of age, to bring her
brother home. The boy resisted, and
in her attempt to force him away the
girls dress caught fire in the back, and
before help arrived she was seriously
burned. An examination was made of
her injuries, and it was discovered that
the skin and flesh on her back, hips
and portions of her limbs were roasted
to crisp, which afterward festered
and dropped off. After trying other
remedies without success, DIR. Dart re-
sorted to skin drafting, and about
three months ago he performed the
first operation. The CRAFTS were taken
from the arm of the father of the child,
who is stout, healthy man. Nipping
Of particles Of flesh the size of pea, he
would force them down into the raw
flesh of the child's back. OF tn first
ten patches he transplanted, nearly
every one produced new and
healthy skin. During the past two
months four operations have been per-
formed, and they have been attended
with most flattering results. Although
some fifty pieces of flesh have been re-
moved from Mr.. Musser's arms, he has
worked regularly all the time at his
business. The patient, during recent
weeks, has occupied herself with doing
fancy sewing, but very lately she has
been obliged to give that up, owing to
her nervous affection. Her physician
ia confident that she will experience a
complete recovery.-Oregonian.
Order is rapidly being developed Of
chaos in worlds fair matters, and
what heretofore appeared to he confu-
sion has now assumed definite form
and purpose. The managers of the af-
fair have observed such discreet secrecy
that the abandonment Ct the lake front
site came in the nature of a surprise to
the people generally, yet at no time.
for many months, it would appear,
has the placing Of any buildings on
the Lake Front park site been contem-
plated. Instructions given to the
hoard of architects at the time of It's
formation did not provide for any OF
the buildings being started there, hut
contemplated grouping all tn" named
buildings south Of midway Plaisance
in Jackson park, the land north OF
Plaisance being reserved for miscel
ianeou4 structures such as the state
building. Mr.. Olmstead of Boston
has already outlined his scheme fo
landscape effects. The available lant
will be interspersed with artificial lakes
woodlands and gracefully winding
canals. The latter has been planned
not only for picturesque effects but al
80 as means of communication between
the different buildings and as source
of material in filling low grounds
The building will be constructed q
iron, glass and stucco. The severa
plans contemplates floor space one-thir'
greater than that of the Paris exposl
ton.
There is great excitement at Jeans
vile over the rescue of four miner
from the flooded mine No. l. Th
men had been in Imprisonment
eighteen days and had suffered mos
terrible fortunes. For seven days aft
their imprisonment they CAREFUL
divided the contents Of their dinn'
cars, only few ounces Of bread bein
allowed to each one daily. When tn
revenue of food was exhausted the
fell back on the oil in their lamps, an
when that was gone they caught an
eat the rats that swarmed in the min
They were terribly weak when rescue
and presented a pitiable spectacle
They could not have lived much long
unless they had resorted to canniba
ism. 1t is clear that the portion OF Il
mine where the men were found W
cushioned by fresh air. After the tt
rible rush of water OH that awful d'
good air came into this breast where
was driven to the highest point by t
water. The men sought that local.
and there they were found. The

when the disaster occurred, six of thu
escaped, leaving seventeen in all NJ

miners were rescued.
