Grating Among Animals.

Hopes have been entertained tnat
the Zones of certain Of the lower ami
mails, such us rabbits and calves, might
be grated upon the human skeleton,
thus adding an important new branch
to surgery. But the most recent ex'
periments tend to show that the graft.
ing Of bones, skin and other tissues
from one animal species TO another
cannot be successfully practiced. Be-
tween individuals Of tho same species,
however, such operations have proved
successful, and particularly in cases
where the transference has been made
between different parts. Of the same
body. Experiments are still being
made, and interesting discoveries in
this direction are possible.

Peculiar Death of Two Small Children at

BONNER SPRINGS, Kan, Sept IT,
Yesterday afternoon Hasley Petit, the
four-year-old son Of A. W. Petit,
druggist, and Charley Waters, three
ycar-old son of j. D. Waters, were
found in Mr.. Pettit's cellar, lying On
their faces, almost dead. Standing
near was a five-gallon gasoline can, III
most empty, while the clothing OF the
children and the cellar floor were
saturated with the fluid. Med
ical aid was burriedly sent for,
but the children were past all
hope of recovery. There were no evi.
dences Of an explosion, and the suppo-
sition Is that the two children had
been playing with the can Of oil, had
upset 1t, and in trying TO right matters
were overcome by tho fumes and fell
to the floor In the position they were
found lying In the fluid. Their bodies
were terribly blistered, as If by terri.
BILE burns. It is said there are few
cases on record where gasoline inhala.
ton has caused death.
