SURGICAL CURE OF IDOCY.
cOrding TO the New York WOrld, an
operation was recently performed on
little boy in the New York Juvenile
Asylum to relieve him OF the affection
of idiOcy. 1t is said that three or four
years ago DR. LannelOgue, a French
physician. reached the conclusion that
if II part of the skull of an idiOtiC child
were removed, permitting the brain to
have more room to grow, a cure might
be effected. Experiments made by
him are said to have proved so success
ful that New York surgeon was en-
cOuraged to attempt the operation re-
ferred to. Since the operation an ex-
traordinary change is reported to have
taken place in the child. He now re-
members things and is much brighter
Time, of course, is needed to demon
strate the completeness of the cure.
The case recalls a story published in
BlackwOOd's Magazine some years ago
of similar surgical feat by which a
California desperate was transformed
into an amiable but TemOrseful man,
who committed suicide to escape the
horror of his deeds, The story was,
of course, imaginary, but if the surgi
cal cure for idiOcy is what is claimed
for il there would seem to re a wide
range of possibilities in this direction.
1t might be possible, for example, by
iudiciOus trepanning to transform a
numb-skull into a wit aud TO make a
stage philosopher out of the most mer-
curial joker.

THE DEsTRUCTIVENEss OF NEW GUNS
CALLS FOR BETTER SANITARY
SERVICE.

The fifth International Conference
of the Red Cr0ss Society was opened
at Rome last week by the Svndic of
Rome. Herr Won Roller, amid great
enthusiasm, announced that the King
and Queen of Italy had offered prize
OF 1000 francs to the person elaborat-
ing in an essay the best plan for re-
moving speedily the wounded from the
field of battle. This offer, he said, was
suggested by that part of the program
concerning the care of those who fell
wounded in the first or second line.
The effect of the new, small calbre
rifle, now introduced in all the great
armies of Europe, has rendered neces-
sary an Improvement in the sanitary
service in the field. If unhindered the
ball from one of these rifles would 90
mile. The ball would penetrate
walls and trees that have hitherto
served as protection to soldiers, and
would pass through bodies in success.
i've lines of battle. The aim with the
new rifle is also truer and the rapidity
with which successive shots could be
fired snrpasses anything conceived of
in former years.
SmOkeless powder and electric lights
for Illuminating fields at night, would
aggravate the slaughter. The percent.
age of the troops wounded in the next
war would exceed enormously the
percentage of former wars. The dan
ger of the sanitary service would also
be increased. The slaughter in the
front lines would be tremendous and
as the lines would advance at greater
intervals than heretofore, and the front
and rear would be further separated,
the work of carrying off the wounded
would be much more labOriOus and
perilOus.
In battle in which $4,000 or 10000
were wounded not fewer than 1000
stretchers and 1000 pOrters would be
needed, and then it would take eight
or nine hours of the hardest work to
cover the field. In addition to such a
great force of pOrters must be reckOned
the doctors and nurses, who also must
be more numerous than before. Such
an army of sanitary servants would be
almost impossible.
Some new method for meeting the
emergency must be found. 1t was for
the Red CrOs to find improvements in
the sanitary service to correspond with
the improvements in the weapons of
warfare. To encourage this effort was
the purpose of the King and Queen in
Offering the prize.

The Tall Grass of Yucatan.

The sisal grass, of Yucatan is one of
the most remarkable vegetable prod
ucts known. 1t grows in long blades,
sometimes to the length of four or five
feet, and when dry the blade curls up
from side to side, making cord that
is stronger than any cotton string of
equal size that has ever been manufac-
tured. 1t is in great demand among
florists and among manufacturers of
various kinds of grass goods, but as
soon as lis valuable properties become
known, it will have a thousand uses
which are now undreamed of. Ropes,
cords, lines of any description and any
size may be manufactured of it, and a
ships cable of sisal grass is one of the
possibilities of the future. 1t is almost
impervious to the action of salt water,
and is not easily disintegrated or
decayed by moisture and heat, and
will in time prove one of the most val
liable productions of Central America.

There are twenty well-built towns in
Kansas without a single inhabitant to
waken the echoes Of their deserted
streets. Saratoga has $4,000 opera
house, large brick hotel, a $4,000
school house and number of fine bus
mess houses, yet there is nobody even
to claim a place to sleep. At Fargo a
$40, 900 school house stands on the side
of the b u, a monument to the bond
voting craze. A herder and his fam
lily constitute the sole population Of
what was once an Incorporated city.
This is a sad commentary on unhealthy
bOOms. Those Kansas towns, like
Wichita. advertised Themselves as phe-
nomenal boom cities For awhile "ev.
erything was lovely and the goose hung
high" but at last dry rot took hold on
the boom towns and killed them.
