new BONE GROWING In LEG
Remarkable Case Attracting the
Attention Of Surgeons.
IT Follows the Graft OF Sheep Bone
to FIJI Up Space of seven
Inches.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24.-The rare instance
of new bone forming and extending itself
from severed end of bone in the leg, flil-
ing a space seven inches in length, exists IN
the person Of Boyd Fofwell, 16 years old,
who lives with his parents at No. 1S41
Wylie street. Last July an operation was
performed on him. A piece Of sheep bone
was engrafted into the leg. to replace sec
ton OF the tibia, which had become diseased
and was removed. '"'" zoe -'''' 900
DR.. Carl Vischer, who performed the
operation, said yesterday that the graft
was not a brilliant success, but the Ee--
suits which followed were remarkable
and entirely satisfactory to him. After
the failure of the grated bone to unite
with the ends OF the tibia, and notwith-
standing the fact that the perostium mad
been destroyed, callous formed. he
said, and began to build up bone ma
terial from the upper stump of the original
bone. As this new formation proceeded the
sheep bone, which had been Inserted, grad
ually dissolved.
This new bone has already extended it
self to almost unite with the lower stump,
the portions OF the sheep bone have been
taken out, and the physician hopes TO see
the formation continue until the leg is per-
fectly united. when the patient will be as
sound physically as any other boy. The sheep
bone was taken out two months ago, aud the
boy is now able to walk moderately 49, =
PHYSICIANS are very much interested in
the history Of the case, Instances where
similar results followed bone graftiag~
having been extremely rare.
As consequence of a hurt or fever, it is
not decided which, the boys RICH, leg be-
came sore early last summer, and after
an examination DR.. vischer discovered that
the tibia was diseased. After treating
,he leg some time the surgeon saw that If
he would save the leg that portion Of the
bone which was affected would have to be
removed.
He decided on the operation. and on July
8 took out a section of the bone about seven
inches in length. This left n short stump be-
low the knee. but nothing at the ankle. the
bone being taken out to the socket joint
DR.. Vischer then took n piece Of green bone
from sheep and inserted this in the leg.
Time went on. but the grating was not
satisfactory to DR.. vischer, and about the
middle of November he made another exam
nation. He discovered that the two bones
had not joined, and further noticed that
from the knee stump there had been free
discharge of protaplaslns. forming caious,
and this growth was hardening and FORM
ing new bone. He took away the sheep
bone. which had dissolved because of lack
of nourishment. and putting brace on the
leg. closely observed the growth, which has.
since continued rapidly.

UNREST AT JOHANNESBURG.
Unemployed Men Leaving the City IN
Large Numbers.


Pretoria, Jan. 24.-Gen. Jubert, COIN
pander-in-chief of the forces Of the South
African Republic, in a speech at Hebron
yesterday, in which he thanked the burghers
for their prompt, energetic, and patriotic
action in the recent troubles in the Trans
vaal, said that the raid of DR.. Jameson and
mis- followers was not the work OF the
honorab BILE and noble section of the British
residents. hut on the other hand was a
cunning and insidious attempt to overthrow
law and order.
He said that the Beers were proud Of
the sympathy manifested by the govern
ment and people of Cape Colony, and he
ioresaw a great future for South Africa
If it were united. But, he said, quiet had
not yet been restored. Weapons were still
being discovered in the possession of men
who had been called upon to give them up,
showing that the fire OF treachery still
snoldered.
Dispatches from Johannesburg represent
matters as being quiet there, but feeling
OF unrest pervades the populace and the I'M
employed, of whom there are a great many,
are becoming dangerous They are leaving
the city daily in small parties. but their
destination or object cannot be ascertained.
