HEAD REMODELED BY SURGERY.
Remarkable Operation Performed on =
Man PRACTICALLY Decapitated.

Arthur Harris sits In q chair IN the
Newark City hospital, with practical
ly remodeled head. The doctors say ne
is going TO get we'll in two or three
weeks.
Harris was at work in q canal boat,
September 2. Workmen were dump
ing coal from above in 4 heavy bucket.
Harris was leaning over when the load
broke away from its fastenings and
struck him with awful force on the
skull. When his companions picked
him up the top of his head was lying
over on the left shoulder, hanging by
some Shreds. The bucket had cut its
way in a straight line above the ears,
"just in line where you take off your
hat" said one of the doctors afterward.
At the hospital Harris was laid on
the operating table and DIR. Hewlett
and the other surgeons went to work to
save his life. First they cleaned the
tear and packed gauze upon the brain
to stop the bleeding. Then the rebuild
ing of his head began. 1t was done with
silver wire and some bone punches The
fractured bits were fitted together with
care, and then the whole was bandaged.
Under this treatment Harris brain
stopped bleeding in a few days. Then
the gauze had to come out. DR.. Hewlett
made two or three trepannings, and
fished out the gauze with a small hook
through an opening left for the purpose.
The physicians say Harris will be ap-
parently in as good shape as ever, owing
to the remarkable and successful sur

MAKING SILHOUETTES.
Some Instruction in the Art Of Froda
Ing These OId-Time EaNorites.

Some Instruction in the Art Of Frodao-
ing These Old-Time Favorites.
Even in the enlightened days, when
the art Of photography has advanced
so very near to perfection, there are still
with fondneSs to these silhouettes. One
great thing in their favor is, that the
least clever among us may with a little
patience and a steady hand, find in them
pleasing recreation, and soon become
ndroit IN their execution. But there
may be some of our young readers who
scarcely know what a silhouette is, and
such unenlightened persons we will
cndeavor to instruct in the almost for
gotten art. \ few sheets of drawing
paper, a pencil, and lamp, are all the
essentials needed to commence opera
tions, says Happy Thoughts.
The operator first fixes a sheet of
paper to the wall, by inserting q pin in
each corner. Then the person whose
likeness, or silhouette" is to be taken,
is seated in chair, close to the wall,
IN such Il position as to throw distinct
shadow of his profile (as near lifesize
rs possible) on the center of the paper
To secure steadiness a wine glass, or
some such support, is placed between
his head and the wall-for the slightest
movement often causes failure. Having
arranged these matters satisfactorily,
the operator proceeds to sketch, with
pencil, the head and profile Of the
sitter" and this requires a steady
hand and some dispatch, as 1t is no
easy matter to sit in one position for
great length of time perfectly motion
less. When the sketch is concluded,
little skill will be needed to bring the
task to an end. The operator has only
with a sharp penllnife to cut out the
head in the line of the pencil mark. The
center part is then thrown aside, and
the other paper laid on a piece of black
cloth, which throws out the features
boldly, and, if sufficient care has been
taken, striking likeness will be the
reward.

AN UNFORTUNATE SPEECH.
1t Embarrassed the Young Lady and
Amused the OnIookers.

Amused the OnIookers.
1t was on a Delmar avenue car. The
car had stopped, and everybody knows
how, in the stiffness of u stopped car,
voice as soft as n cooling dove smites
the general ear as clearly as the strident
voice of the professional orator at a
ward meeting, says the St. Louis Post
Dispatch.
The young man fumbled in his pock-
cts in vain. He was moneyless. In a
stage whisper, intended for his COM
panion's ears alone, but which went to
the ears of all the passengers, without
discrimination, he said:
Have you any change with you; I
exchanged my pants and left my money
behind?"
Of course the passengers were all at
tention. They always are on spch oc-
casions. The young lady looked in her
purse and felt in her pockets. The
search was vain. She stage whispered:
"Ive done the same thing"
She meant she had left her money at
home, but she framed it unhappily.
And when one or two heartless young
men laughed mildly she blushed and
made things worse by explaining audi
bly, that she had left her money in her
other dress, y fellow passenger paid
both fares, and the episode and the car
passed on.

DANGER IN ROENTGEN RAYS
Penalties for One Who Looks at His
skeleton.

skeleton.
A warning has been voiced by one Of
the leading English medical journals
in regard 10 the too frequent use of
the Roentgen ray apparatus.
1t is interesting, no doubt, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, to obtain series
Of photographs of Ones own skeleton,
but If this is to be at the expense of
kuch trines as one hair and ones finger
halls, it hardly seems worth the cost.
One electrical engineer, who has often
demonstrated the beauty Of his own
finger bones by placing one of his hands
within the radius of the searching rays,
hos lost all the nails from the finger of
that hand, while Sidney Rowland, who
is one of the leading experimenters in
this direction, mentions several cases
Of similar character in the structural
changes that occur in the hair, and SO
forth, Of those who have been frequent
Iy shadowgraphed by this method.
Thus, in the case of patients whose
heads have been subjected to the in
fuence of the rays, the hair has either
turned white or has fallen out entirely.
Itissuggested that these results are due
TO the electrical potency of what are
called ultra violet rays of the spec
trum, though their precise action is at
present by no menas thoroughly un-
derstood.
One curious suggestion has already
been made. 1t is well-known super
ss{ttnp md ono Vph{oh hoe ayiSfa5 for
generations, that people who sleep in
the direction of the moon have their
reason more or less seriously affected.
Now 1t Is said that these ultra violet
rays exist in the moonlight, and hence
a popular superstition may be founded

Kites Sent to Great Altitude.

When Mr., Eady first began to fly
kites at Blue Hill, Mass, an altitude OF
1900 feet was considered remarkable,
but recently an altitude of 1900 feet
above the level Of the surrounding coun-
try was attained by kite, The Boston
Transcript says: The Blue Hill boys
have now some two miles of strong wire
on hand and think thatthey can achieve
still greater penetration into the upper
mir than the present record of q mile
and quarter. The experiments of tho
present week are likely to be of i'm
portance, since Prof. Harrington, late
chief of the weather service, and Mr..
Archibald, from England, the first per-
son to use kites for meteorological pur-
poses, are in town. These gentlemen will
visit Blue Hill and trials will be made.

FILLING TEETH.
Reasons Why the Dentist Uses Gold for
the Best.

1t is the custom with many persons
to grumble a little at what they con-
slider the dentists extraordinary
charges. 1t is also frequently said that
the dentist finds gold more profitable,
and that this is the reason why he pre-
fers to use it.
1t is not generally understood that
there is a scientific reason for the en-
ployment of this metal. Gold can be
welded into a solid mass while cold.
1t is also susceptible of being pressed
into the smallest cavities and depres-
sions.
When once the cavity is properly
cleaned and the gold carefully put in,
care being taken that it fills every parti-
Gle of space from the beginning, the
union of teeth and filling is nearly as
perfect as possible without the action
of heat
y gold filling may be built up to al
most any size or shape required. None
of the acid secretiOns of the mouth or
stomach have any effect upon it.

NEW DISEASE TRACER.


ttOrRtlOnn OF the NAthI oTkhHss
The Y rays Of Prof. Roentgen, which
have been used successfully in penetrst-
ing the secrets of the human body, are
scarcely more wonderful than the
phonendoscope, the device of Prof.
Bianchi, an Italian, who Is distin-
guished for his achievements in medical
pathology, says the Baltimore Sun.
The phonendoscope Is described as an
outgrowth of the stethoscope, buG diff
feHs from that instrument in its struc-
ture and the delicacy of its action.
II depends upon the fact that all OF the
organs of the body are subject to vibra-
tory motion, and that these motions
may be conveyed to the ear of the physi-
elan In the form of sound.
Mr.. Garrett P. Serviss writes from
Paris that he saw the invention tested
with remarkable results. A number
of members of the Clinical Society OF
Practitioners of France, after n series
of experiments, admitted that 1t would
do all that Prof Bianchi claimed for it.
It is declared to be easy, by this process,
not only TO discover general disease,
but to locate any foreign body lodged
In any Of the organs or tissues, as we'll
as to determine the existence and ex-
tent Of cancerous or similar internal
growth. Combined with the revela~
tions made by the X ray" concludes Mr..
Serviss, "this method of disclosing the
secrets of the internal man seem to
open up a wonderful new field Of USE
fulness for doctors. II they can thus
chase disease into its' deepest hiding
places, why should they not eradicate it
entirely?" Prof. Blanchti, the inventor,
is q chevalier of the crown of Italy, a
distinction conferred upon him for his
great learning and his contributions

DlSINFECTlON OF THE SKIN.
Soap and Water Does Not Remove All
the Impurities,

the Impurities.
The New York IIerald's European
edition leports some interesting experi-
ments of NJ. Lauenstein, a Hamburg
physisian, upon the disinfection of the
SKIN.
1t is generally supposed that a little
soap and water will remove all impuri-
lies from the skin. But these expert
ments of NJ. Lauenstein prove that it is
ly no means easy to disinfect it, even
"by minute washings and the most Sc
we're antiseptic applications"
In 147 operations he first removed a
small piece of epidermis; % of these
cases had merely been washed with
water, whereas the remaining 124 had
had the operative field disnfected with
ether, alcohol and solutions of sub
Innate Of chlorine. The little pieces Of
skin taken from the latter and tested by
the usual methods of culture were
found to be exempt from germs in 40
cases only.
The practical conclusion TO be drawn
from these experiments is that disinfec-
tion Of the skin is difficult to realize,
that n quantity of baths must be given
and that too many precautions cannot
he taken and no detail is superf1uous.
ASrcgards hospital practice NJ. Lauen-
stems experiments show that il is far
preferable not TO operate on patients as
soon as they are admitted, but only
when they have been subjected to re-
peatcd md thorough cleansing and dis
infection. For greater security it is ad-
rised to have q series Of washings with
soap and of frictions with alcohol. ether,
corbolic acid and sublimdtc, the portion
of the body to be treated being protect
al during each seance b. a fresh anti
septic dressing-as the only security
against fresh microbian contamination.
