SKULL. though the physi-

was likely to result. Emily lives with
her father and mother and brothers at
Al Castleberry street, Atlanta, Ga.
The child is large for her age-she's
as tall as her mother and has the face
Of girl of 16. She was an unusual
child, quiet and sober, with an express
sion beyond her years. She learned to
talk slowly, but to walk quickly. She
stammered awkwardly in her speech
and mixed her words. She had a bright,
sweet face and an extremely affection

Little Emily grew on for several
years before they knew how strangely
evil she had been treated by nature.
They sent her to school. The teacher
struggled for weeks to teach her and
then-she made an awful discovery.
The child could not be taught. She
could not learn figures. She could not
add | and l together. She read. but
merely by rOte; she did not understand.
1t was hopeless task. The baby mind
of the girl could not be taught. The
teacher told her mother.
In the past several years many ply
sicians have been appealed to to help
the little girl. All have given up the
case without even locating the trouble
Little Emily grew on, but her brain,
prisOned fast beneath the hard skull
remained tho Same II grow no Ia rUp1,
could be no larger pressed in mar
row space as it was by a curious and
unusual malforma ton of the head.
The little girl, it was plain to the
surgeons trained mind, was suffering
from the confinement of her brain in a
too narrow space. There was but one
thing to be done to save her. That was
to lift the skull from the brain and give
the little ones mind room to grow.

encouraging.
In the provinces OF Entire Rios, Sante
Fe, Cordova and Buenos Ayres there is
every indication that the wheat crop,
with good luck. will be so great that they
will be able 10 export about 100000 tons.
With a fair degree OF success there will
be at least a million and half tons for
export.
The prospect for a big crop is excellent.
There was sown this year a greater
quantity OF wheat than last year. The
planters have had 20 contend with the
locusts TO a certain extent in every pro-
vince. but corn has suffered more than
wheat.
In the north OF Santa Fe province,
which is the most important corn region
I'm Argentina, there are swarms OF To-
Gusts. and the crop IN at least one-third
OF that province will practically amount
TO nothing. The locust has also appeared
in the southern part OF Cordova, where
considerable damage has been done.

little from the pest. BY the time the To-
