Washington. July s.-secretary Herbert
determined to detach Constructor FernaId
and Civil Engineer Asserson from the
New York navy yard. after carefully con-
sidering their explanations of the serious
frauds practiced in their department
Naval Constructor Francis T. Bowles.
who has been at the Norfolk navy yard
since 1886, and Civil Engineer A, G. Memo
cal Of Nicaragua canal fame. have been
chosen to succeed Messrs. Fernald and
Assessor. who will be given no further
duty. but will remain under reduced pay
without quarters on waiting orders. It
has been predicted for some time that
neither of the accused officers would be
able TO clear himself of the charges
brought by the Knapp board, which began
its investigation last fall and reported
numerous violations of the regulations re-
latng to the employment of labor. Sec
rotary Herbert has promised to make pub
lie this report and the excuses offered by
Nessrs. Fernald and Asserson Tomorrow
Constructor Bowles who will report at
the New York navy yard within the next
TWO weeks, is a young and vigorous officer
who entered the service only twelve years
ago. being the first offfcer in that corps to
pass the naval academy and secure the ad-
vantages of a technical education abroad.
He has made a remarkable record in the
past nine years at the Norfolk navay yard,
which was situated in locality destitute
of skilled labor when he went there. In
spite of these difficulties and the disad-
vantages of youth he has succeeded in
building the battleship Texas, the cruiser
Raleigh and raising the yard to a rank
almost equal to that of the enc at San
Francisco, which is the best in the coun-
try.
The criticisms regarding political infiu-
ences eXerted in labor matters ct the New
York yard, which have been current for
so many years, 1t is declared, will cease
as promptly after he takes charge as they
did at Norfolk when he went there.
1t is stated positively at the navy depart
ment this morning that no steps have been
taken to courtmartial either Mr.. Fernald
or Mr.. Assessor, and probably none will be
taken unless the affected officers demand
court of inquiry. The Judge advocate gen.
eral. while familiar with the matter, has
not been called to consider the case Of

iy and Accurately Removed.
From the New Science Review.
1t has become quite common in recent
years for surgeons to remove certain por-
lions OF the brain tn such cases of cpl
lepsy as have been shown to be due to
irritation originating in these specific CEN
tiers. DR.. w. w. Keen of Philadelphia
recently saw a patient whose epiIeptic at
tacks invariably began with twfching in
one thumb. This fact was well anthem
ticated by the most painstaking and re-
peated observation 1t was decided to
remove the thumb center from that side
OF the brain opposite to that of the af-
fected thumb. The bone was trephined
and after the center had been localized
by electrical stimulation. It was cut down
upon and removed with the scoop As Is
always the case with operations upon the
brain, there was but little bleeding, even
loss pain, and a speedy recovery from the
operation, with no unfavorable symptoms
The patient was at first entirely relieved
OF tho epileptic attacks (although they
finally recurred), their severity was miti-
gated and they were far less frequent.
This was an operation of remarkable nice
ty. as the entire substance of the thumb
center" had to be removed without includ-
Ing any of the other various finger, wrist,
elbow, shoulder, or face centers, which
impinge upon IT on all sides.
DR.. Keen has also performed a similar
operation for removal of the hand CEN
ter" The patient was a boy whose at
tacks always began with twitching of the
members of one entire hand. He recovered
promptly from Che effects of the operation,
and was free from attacks for some time,
but eventually suffered again from them

MICHIGAN'S BENEFACTOR.
AN OFT REPEATED STORY OF TRUE
PHILANTHROPY.
What Chss. IL. Hackley has Done for
Western Michigan.

What ChRs. IL. Hackley has Done for
Western Michigan.
{From Grcnd Rapids, Mich, Evening Press.)
The most beautiful spot in all this city is
inseparably associated with the name of
Hackley. Chas. II. Hackley has been in
the lumber business here continuously since
1856 and in that time has amassed fortune
which gives him rating among the wealthy
men of the nation. But with wealth there
did not come that tightening of the purse
strings which is generally marked charac.
teristic of wealthy men.
1t is no wonder then that the name Of
Charles H. Haekley is known at home and
abroad. His munifcence to Muskegon alone
represents an outlay of nearly half million.
For the past twenty years he has beena
constant sufferer from neuralgia and rheua
matism, also numbness of the lower limbs,
so much so that it has seriously interfered
with his pleasure in life. For some time
past his friends have noticed that he has
seemed to grow young again and to have
recovered the health which he had in youth.
To reporter for the Press Mr.. Hackley
explained the secret of this transformation.

CuriositIes About Trees.
From the st. Louis Republic


The largest orange tree in the south is
a gigantic specimen which grows out OF
the rich soil in Terebone parish, Louisi-
ana. 1t is fifty feet high and fifteen feet
in circumference at the base. Its yield has
often been 10000 oranges per season.
The "tallow tree" OF China has a pith
from one inch to two feet in diameter, ac-
cording to the size of the tree, which is
composed of greasy wax, which is so high
ly volatile that II often catches fire spon-
taneously, consuming the tree to the very
ends of its roots.
The largest oak tree now left standing
IN England is "Cowthorpe's Oak" which
is seventy-eight feet in circumference at
the ground. The oldest tree in Britain is
Parliamentary oak in Clipstone park,
London, which is known to be 1900 years
old
The largest apple tree in New York
