Is fish good article of food? With the exception of eczematous and arthritic persons, in whose case it often brings on nettle rash one may boldly reply in the affirmative. This, at any rate, appears to be the opinion of Parisians, who consume annually twenty-eight million kilo- grammes of fresh fish, without reckoning eight or nine million kilogrammes ofmus- sels, oysters and other shell fish.
 M Balland, distinguished chemist, in note on the composition of large num- Der of fish, has lately justified this opin- lon by showing that fish is particularly rich in azote and in fat.
 According to the analysis made by M Bailand the proportion of water is very variable, and ranges from 59 to s5 per cent. For instance, the shad, the fresh water eel the mackerel and the salmon which have from 15 to 26 per cent of fat dried
 On the other hand, fish containing the least fat are the richest in azote. The pike, the dab, the sole, the whiting, the cod, the tench and the perch, which have only from s to 10 per cent of fat when Iresn, contain 93 per cent of azotic mat ter when dried. These fish contain as much azote as butchers meat
 Crustacea and mollusks contain less aZote than fish.
 In short, fish are very nutritious for food, and cannot be too highly recom- mended. They constitute an almost in- exhaustible lood source by reason of the immense variety of the edible species.

lum and sanitarium which his friends could get him into.
 About five years ago he had been try ing some cases in court. He probably oyerexerted his brain and it revolted. MT. Collier met a bread wagon such as are very common on the streets of Chicago. He accosted the driver with:
 Here, I want those rolls'
 You cannot have them, they are sold"
 Sold, eh? Well, I want them"
 He paid some fabulous sum for the rolls and loaded them into a hack which was near Then he drove through the streets pelting the passers-b with the rolls.
 After this determined effort was made to put him into an asylum and keep him there. He applied for a writ of habeas corpus, and was brought be- fore the court. After long but not monotonous trial he was declared bv Judge Mcconnell to be not insane and was dismissed.
 At last he decided to undergo the op eratlon which Dr. Spitzka advised.

THE operation performed upon the
 head of MT. Frank Collier at the
 Cook County Hospital in Chicago 1 has been apparer tly a success
 Ten years ago Mir Collier was a prominent lawyer of Chicago, standing very high in his profession. He had no symptoms of insanity, nor was he even eccentric. A member of the School Board from the Western Addition he took a very prominent part in the de- Alterations of the council and was in- strumental in obtaining many costly improvements for the section of the city in which he was interested.
 Going home one night from the city he was sandbagged by thug and left on the street for dead.
 He did not die, but recovered and went about his business just as he had been in the habit of doing. Then he be- gan to exhibit many remarkable ec- centricities. His friends wondered what could be amiss, but few suspected that his conduct was caused by the injury to his brain which he had sustained at the hands of the footpad
 MT. Collier himself, however, main tained that his head had been injured by the blow. The physicians who ex- amined him said his head was all right. MT. Collier then went to New York and consulted Dr. Spitzka, one of the great est authorities in the United States on nervous and brain disorders.
 Dr. Spitzka advised the operation which has just been performed. It was not done until ten years later, when it was found that Dr. Spitzka's diagnosis was correct.
 In the meantime MT. Golfers experi- ences have been varied, and include in- generation in about every insane asy-

From the appearance of the skulls and rom the fact that no instruments eX- cept of stone have even been found, 1t IS. certain that the ancient Peruvians trephined with stone
 pr. McGee, who spent much time studying the customs of the Peruvians and North American Indians, says they trephined to exercise evil spirits, and it was religious ceremony with them quite as much as surgical operation.
 Among the Indians it was not an in- frequent form of tribute that they cut buttons from the skulls of living pris- oners Strings of these bone buttons worn as amulets have been found. From the evidence of the bone they were cut from living subjects Also among the trephined skulls found it is certainty that the owners of the heads lived and recovered from the op- erations

 FRANK HOWARD COLLIER. MT. Collier rallied from the operation and is now we'll on the road to recov- cry, and those attending him say he was quite right in saying that he is "a new man."
 Dr. Davis found that the skull had been indented and was pressing upon the brain, and this was probably the cause of MT. Golfers mental derange- ment
 Trephining, cutting out a piece of the skull, is one of the major operations in surgery and very old one It is the only major operation practiced success fully by savages. The Kabyles of Northern Africa frequently resort to trephining to cure neuralgia, vertigo and other disorders. The operator is an hereditary medicine man, and the mortality among his patients is not great.
 Our own North American Indians practiced 1t frequently, as is proven by the skulls found.
 Dr. Manuel Antonio Muniz, formerly surgeon general of the Peruvian army. explored the ancient tombs in Peru and made collection of the skulls he found which had been trepanned.

ORIGINAL STEAM wARSHIP.
First In Our Navy Launched 80 Years
Ago Yesterday.

Washington. Oct. 2e.-To-day was the
S4th anniversary Of the launching OF
the first steam warship of the navy. 1t
passed unnoticed. and there are few
to-day who are familiar with the his
tory Of that innovation in the navy.
Only In the musty records OF the navy
department can there be foundm mention
OF the craft.
During the war of 1912 the United
States navy was making an excellent
record at sea. but the government felt
h pressing necessity for vessels for
coast defense. Finally a suggestion
by Robert Fulton was adopted and by
special legislation congress passed an
act In the same year authorizing the
immediate construction of a number of
floating batteries after a type submit
ted to the navy department by Fulton.
IL was not until early i'm 1914 that a
commission was appointed to superin-
tend the construction OF the first Of
these vessels.
The commission was composed of S.
l.. Mitchell. Henry Rutgers. Robert
Fulton and Naval Constructor Adam
Brown. on June. 20. 1914. the keel OF
the new vessel was laid at Corlears
Hook on the East river. and on Oct. 20
Of the same year. the Demologos. as
she was first called. was launched. IL
was estimated bat the vessel would
cost $500. 600. but owing TO many modi-
ications in the original plans made be-
fore the work was completed the cost
was somewhat smaller. IL was at first
intended hat the Demologos should
carry 20 guns. but this number was
increased to 30. She was l56 feet long.
80 feet beam and 20 feet deep. As
viewed in the light OF modern times
the most peculiar thing about the ship
was the situation of the propelling pow
er. In the center Of the deck there was
a well-like opening. straight down TO
the water. In which the single paddle
wheel worked. At the last moment this
well was converted into a channel 20
feet long n the paddle wheel was in
creased Ia is feet in diameter. The YES
sci was propelled by a single cylinder.
The equilibrium of the vessel was pre-
served by having the cylinder on one
side of the wheel and the boiler on
the other. all the machinery being
placed amidships.
Rapid m-aneuvering I'm any direction
was desired by the designer of the
Demologos. and with that End in view
she was provided with two bowsprits
and 1ibs and four rudders. two at each
end. BY this ARRANGEMENT she could
be propelled forward or backward like
a ferryboat with equal ease. Two
short, stout masts rose forward and aft
from the deck. In those days. when
breech loading guns were unknown. it
The explosives were kept hear the guns
in time of action. ready TO be packed
down the old muzzle loading pieces. In

Cats Rescue a Chick From a Hawk.

From the Philadelphia Record.
ii. c. Barnett. who lives near Media,
has in his possession the body of a
chicken hawk that was killed in n pecu-
liar N Barnett Is a general
farmer, but makes a speciality Of poul-
try raising. Since he has owned the
farm three old cats left by the former
tenant have hung about the place in a
semi-wild state. At first Barnett tried
to tame the animals. but they repulsed
all friendly overtures and took up their
abode in the barn. However. as they
did not harm the chickens, they were
not molested.
The other day. while Barnett was on
his barn roof replacing some shingles,
he heard a loud cackling I'm the yard
below. Looking down. he saw a num-
Der Of his chickens huddled together
and seemingly greatly agitated. Then
he discovered a large hawk just pre-
pairing to make a swoop. Barnett was
preparing to descend to the rescue
when the hawk made a plunge at the
terrified fowls. The robber was leisure
ly preparing to carry of a chicken
when there was n quick patter of feet
and the three cats bounded into view.
The hawk made an effort to escape
with it's prey, but the cats came to the
rescue in the nick Of time. The hawk
mad a spunky resistance. but the COM
bined assault Of the cats overpowered
him. although only after a fierce bat
tie. Barnett had reached the battle
field by this time. and he rescued the
hawks body from the cats.
