Expects to Have Arms Grated to Him.

Expects to Have Arms Grated to Him.
Theodore Lee, the armless newsdealer,
who went east recently with a vague
idea that he could get arms grated on
to his stumps, has been heard from. He
has been inquiring among specialists re-
garding his case, and he finds that he may
yet secure arms. First, the arms that
are to be grated ON to his stumps must
be taken from healthy man or woman,
and the hope is held out to Mr.. Lee that
he may find some person-condemned to
be hanged, for instance-who would, for
$1,000 say, to be given to relatives or
charity, allow an arm to be amputated
for grating purposes. Mr.. Lee has in
substance been informed that the splice
would have to be made just above the
elbow joint.
When Mr.. Lee has found a person
who will submit to the operation, they
will have to be brought together in such
position as to permit of the arms of
both, which are to be operated upon, be-
ing placed in plaster of paris casts so
that they cannot be moved. Then it is
proposed to cut the back part of both
the arms, also cutting through the bone
The arm that is to be grated on to Mr..
Lees stump or that portion of it that
is cut away at the first operation is to
be adjusted and fastened to the stump
and allowed to remain until it heals and
there is evidence of circulation between
the stump and the part that is grated
on. The second operation will be the
cutting of the remainder of the inside
portion of the arm, together with the
artery and the nerve. This operation,
it is proposed, however, is not to be I'M
dertaken until the surgeons are satisfied
that the circulation through the part of
the arm already grated on is sufficient
to nourish and support the new forearm

How the Panic Was Stopped.

Horace McPhee, who is here as River
side county commissioner, says there
was no furry whatever about the Bank
of Elsinore. And then McPhee told a
story which is particularly pat at these
times.
He said there was run on bank i'll
an iron mill toy. /, and the depositors
were being paid il silver dollars. The
excitement increased. and the run be.
came a fast one. The cashier was a
young Irishman, and the york put upon
him was more than he liked. He re-
solved to stop it. He sent the janitor
with bushel of silver dollars into rear
room where there was stove, with in
structions to heat them silver dollars
redhot." They were heated, and in
that condition he handed them out with
aladle. The depositors first grabbed the
coin, then kicked. But you'll have to
take them that way" said the cashier.
1--WE are turning them out as fast as we
can melt and mold them, and if you
won't wait till they cool you'll have to
take them hot"
That settled it. The run was stopped.
McPhee says the story is true, but de-
MES that he was the Irish cashier.-San

Iowa's Library Society Meets.

DIES MONIES, Dec. ~. - The
fourth annual meeting of the Iowa
Library society will be held in the
Capito' at Des Moines today and
tomorrow. This society was or
ganized by few of the librarians
three years ago, having for it's OBJ
ject "the cultivation of better &C
quaintance of those engaged in Ii
brary work; for consultation upon
library management; securing the
advantages that might result from
the adoption Of some uniform sys-
tenn of reports; the arOusing of
greater interest and cooperation in
library progress in the towns and
cities of the state, and especially in
our public schools as leading
factor in the education of our
youth; and to secure state legisla-
ton that will enable the citizens
having the public welfare at heart
to found and support by taxation
libraries wherever the people de.
mand their organization, etc.
Proposed changes in the library
law will be presented and discussed
to bring Iowa more in harmony
with the best library systems Of
the east, notably Massachusetts
and New York, with the view o.
presenting the same to the genera
assembly to convene in January
next,

A Worlds Fair Excursion.

A novel Worlds fair excursion passed
through Delaware county yesterday, en-
route from Cincinnati to Chicago. It
consisted of a party of five young men
in a covered wagon. Underneath the
vehicle tramped five dogs. On the wagon
was inscribed: "In God we trust. Chi
cago or bust"
The excursionists seemed happy and
expect to sell the dogs for enough to pay
the expenses of the party.-Indianapolis

They Probe Thought.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-When the
American Psychological society
meets at Columbia college today it
will be to discuss the most import
ant advances yet made in mental
science. The year has been fruitful
in the establishment of pyschic al
laboratories at many of the coun-
try's universities, and the result OF
this years work will be reported.
In fact, the work of Congress will
be devoted largely to discussion
of the psychological laboratory and
what is yet to be expected from it.
The psychological laboratory
sprang first from no single mind ;
not wholly from science nor yet
from philosophy, but from an age.
In 1860 Gustave Theodore Fechner,
the godfather of experimental psy-
chology, published his famous law.
Fechner was as much mystic as a
scientist.
Some twenty laboratories are
actively at work in America, and
about half that number in Europe,
The twentieth century will be to
mental what the sixteenth century
was to physical science, and the
central field of it's development is
likely to be America.
