HE PLANTS HAIR.
A Turkish Doctor Claims to Have
Discovered Process.

NEW YORK, March 2O.-Dr. Menahem
Hodara, of Constantinople, announces
that he can take a fragment of hair and
by implanting it on the scalp Of a bald
patient make the meager clipping take
root and grow into long, heavy hair,
with a root of its own. He says that he
has tried it upon several patients and has
afterward demonstrated its success by
microscopical examination.
In local paper DR.. Hodara is quoted
as follows:
'It is a fact that I have been able to
plant clippings of hair on a mans head
so that they would grow. This discovery
was the result of an experiment.
'I had under treatment two cases of
favus-a disease of the scalp. which,
when cured, usually leaves a large bald
patch In both cases the consequent dis
figurement was so great that I determined
to see If / could not make a natural COW
ering for the bald spots.
Briefly described, the operation per-
formed consisted of scarifying the sur
face of the scalp with an instrument
which makes q number of shallow Incl
sions at a stroke. This was done in both
directions so that the lines of tncision
crossed each other
..Hairs were then cut from the patient $
head, and after both ends had been
clipped so that an even length was OBJ
talned, theSe prepared hairs were placed,
by the aid of forceps, in the incisions
1 had made in the scalp.
"At the end of four weeks I found that
| many of the hairs had taken root and
| were growing. There was no possibility
| of mistake on this matter.
more curious still is the fact that these
| hairs. which, when placed in the scalp
| were merely rootless clippings formed
| roots for themselves. That Is to saw
| each hair was found to have formed a
real new bulb or root. This was shown
| conclusively by microscopical examina.
| ton.
| THE fact that these hairs took root
| and grew proves that the hair in itself
| contains the cells which enable 1t to pro
| duce for itself those accessories which are
| necessary to secure it in its site. In this
respect 1T resembles a cutting from 9
| plant"

promptly decapitated.

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Mr. Dawes.

by a decrease in the supply
