 In hospital in Brooklyn, there is a hairless Japanese dog, named Pin. He is bright eyed ugly looking fellow with a skin of dirty bluish tinge, without hair on it. Three weeks ago a seventeen year old boy, employed in a candy factory had his left m caught in the machintry used for rolli lg boi- Ter sugar. Before the machinery could be stopped, the skin of the arm was torn away from the elbow, and pulled over the hand like a glove.
 The boy was taken to the hospital, where two doctors were called in con sultation. The skin was put back to its place and the hurts dressed. It re- fused to heal, and the doctors decided to cut away the dead parts and try skin-grafting, if they could find any one willing to contribute the skin. The boy has no friends in Brooklyn, but grandmother, and she is too old for the purpose.
 A short time ago, as one of the doc tors was out driving, dog ran out and parked at his horse. The doctor had never seen a dog of the same specie before, and pulled up his horse to investigate. The dog frightened at his whip ran away barking, but the doctor followed and finally succeeded in capturing him.
 While batting the smooth skin of the hairless Japanese dog, the doctor thought of his patient, who was likely to lose the use of his arm for the want of a few inches of skin. A careful eX- animation convinced him that the dogs skin could be grafted to the boy witL- out injury to the dog, The owner of the dog, who now turned up objected strenuously at first, but being assured by the doctor that his pet would be re- turned to him unhurt, he at last con- sented to the experiment.
 The dog was not consulted, he was carried to the hospital and examined by veterinary surgeon who pro- nounced him sound. Since then he has been carefully dieted and bis skin treated antiseptically. As soon as it is in proper condition the first opera ton will be performed. The boys wound is being kept open ready to re- ceive the layers of skin. When all is ready, that portion of the dogs skin, which is to used, will be shaved and washed with weak spirits. He will be bound to the operating table so that he cannot move, and piece of skin will be taken off the dog and laid on the boys wound, so that the edge will just overlap the sound skin of the arm. Other shavings will overlap that again, and so on until the whole of the eX- posed surface is covered. Twenty or thirty operations will be necessary. One application will be allowed to heal before the second is put on. The ed ges of the skin are kept from dying and shriveling up by the dressings.
 The doctors are confident as to the success of the experiment, which they say is the first, that has ever been attempted.
 An exciting incident occurred on the steamer "Mongolian" which sailed from Montreal on November 3rd., for Liverpool. While the steamer was passing Londonerry, bound up the Irish Sea, Mrs. Mason, the stewardess, rushed on deck revolver in hand, and fired at Purser Stewart, who was on the saloon deck. The purscr tried to disarm the woman, but before he sue ceeded in getting the weapon away from her, she discharged the pistol three times. Two of the bullets struck Purscr Steward before he was able to
