yas in charge of Woodford Birch. Mrs

,irch took her ont to see u large, fine fe-
male. Mrs. Iayard pettcd the beast, gave
t a bunch of plantains, which were eaten
With relish, and after making comments
n the beasts gentleness returned to the
bungalow. There Mr. Birch incidentally
emarked that it was violent beast, hay
ng killed two keepers during the past
month. When Mr.. Layard heard that, be
approached Mr. Birch while Mrs. Layard
rev pale. Then Mr.. Birch said:
"Do you think 1 would have allowed
Mrs. Layard to go near her If there had
Oeen danger? That elephant is tho quiet

She was quite right to kill the keope =.
They had robbed her Of her food. had

head squeezed his life out. The next man
she killed fer the samc offense.''
Dan Quinton and Mr.. Layard were in
Colombo when Quinton heard elephants
trumpeting and wanted to go to see them.
One of the beasts was tied up with more
chains than the others, and Quinton went
toward this one, In spite Of the warnings
of keepers TINT il was a particularly vicious
beast. Quinton put his arm around the
elephants trunk and petted It, the ele-
phant seeming most pleased. Quinton
had recognized 1t as an elephant he had
seen injured by huge thorn, or jungle
nail. The keeper, in trying To pull the
thorn out, had broken it off. In few
days Inflammation had set I'm. Quinton
went to work with knife and pairof pinch
ers, and the elephant, in spite Of the pain,
allowed the man TO take the thorn out.
He had recognized the beast by the scar,
and the elephant remembered him after

Diderot, was able to tell by the impression
of the air whether il was fine or cloudy,
whether she was in an open place or u
street, and whether the street was open at
the end Having once gone over house,
she became SO well acquainted with the
different parts as to be able To warn others
of any danger they were exposed to by
the existence Of a step or the lowness of u
door. She could thread the smallest needle
with great dexterity and could execute cv-
cry sort of nccdlework. She understood
music, geography, geometry and wrote

stretched on a frame and read what she
had written by feeling the pin marks on

REBUILDING NOSES.
Alu,nsnium ~ Foundation and How II
IL Used.

II Used.
In this era of reconstruction through
which New York is passing even noses
come In for their share of reinodeling and
rebuilding. So many people are afflicted
with disfguring disease which eats away
the homes Of the nose and face that "plas-
tic surgery" has felt called on to find
means to restore broken or decaycd noses
to their original beauty or even to Inn
prove on that.
DIR. Robert Weir was among the first to
discover a practical solution. He expert
mented with some success in transplant.
ing bones Of living fowls to the human
face. One of his earlier operations was
conducted In stuffy little Harlem fiat
His patient was stretched on the table un-
der ether; her face was laid open and
streaming blood, but the duck, not receiv-
ing due attention, had escaped unnoticed
from the assistant "Now, DOCTOR" said
DIR. Weir to a digniflcd participant, "oblige
me by half killing that bird and let me
have about three inches from its breast
bone for this girls nose"
Amid the grewsOme surroundings there
were ten minutes of vigorous exercise In
catching the bird and reducing 1t to q
state Of insensibility. Since then he has
dispensed with live birds. and has turned
his attention to gutta percha, rubber, sill
yer and gold for nose bridges. All these
failed because electrical action was gener-
ated requiring further operations. Finally
pure aluminium was resorted TO with sat
isfactory results Now the nose bone Is
made Of that metal.
1t has stout hook at the upper end. By
which 1t Is secured to the base Of the fore
head, while the other end Is held out from
the face by two short legs. terminating In
sharp spikes, which are anchored In the
bone. There is no necessity for ugly scars,
because the operation Is carried on entire
ly beneath the skin. A long incision Is
made under the upper lip above the teeth,
so that the whole flap of the face can be
turned back like mask or an old glove
Then. when the metal framework Is &C.
cured, the skin is drawn down again, and
the nose tissue is shaped into Grecian
Roman or pug nose, as desired.
Seven years ago DIR. Weir got his first
ideas from French publications, but has
since made many notifications and IL.
provements. Other prominent surgeons
have followed his example, such as d..
Able, Dr. Powers Of Denver and DR.
Knight The operation is comparatively :
simple, and all have succeeded in restori:
