WONDERFUL, IF TRUE.
West Virginia Miner Doing N,ce,x
with Part of n Calls Brain
in His Head.

About three months ago at Harmon,
w. Va, Jay Lentz, foreman in the mines
of the Great Western company, was
caught under fall of slate in the mines.
His skull was crushed, and DIR. E. G..
Hartman and two other surgeons gave
him up to die. A piece of his brain was
broken away from the main body of the
brain structure, and the skull covering
it was broken away.
After few days the doctors decided
to take heroic measures. The shat.
tered brain was cut away neatly and
dressed. A healthy yearling calf was
tied down, her skull cut away and a
lobe of brain removed and fitted into
the cavity in Lentz's head. The wound
was dressed and trephined and the re.
suits awaited. The calf's head was
fixed up with half brain in it.
Both the miner and the calf have
progressed satisfactorily, and the man
is nearly as well as before the opera
ton, though his mental vigor is not ell
tirely restored. The calf stands as

Ants Eat Paper Money.

Paper money cannot be used in the
Philippines, for there is variety of
ants in the islands which eat almost
everything and are particularly fond of
paper. In a recent shipment of money
for the troops was 100000 in paper
money of small denominations, and
preparations were being made to send
more paper in the next shipment, when
a warning was given that hereafter
nothing but gold and silver coin must
be sent to the islands. 1t was stated
that ants got into the boxes and at
tackled the packages of bills, which
were saved from destruction only by
the greatest care. So far as officials
here know, none of the money was act
ually destroyed, the damage done being
probably no more serious than the eat.

Fish with Compound Eyes.

The anableps, or star gazer, fish Of
the cyprodont family, found in the riv-
ers of Guiana, Surinam and Brazil, has
each of it's eyes divided into an upper
and lower portion by an opaque hori-
zontal line. This gives it in effect two
pupils in each eye, one suited for seeing
in the air and the other for seeing in
the water. The fish is in the habit of
swimming at the surface with its head
sometimes above, sometimes below, the
water line. TIE common whirligig
beetle (gyrinus), which spends it's time
circling round and round on the surface
of the water, has eyes modified in ex-
actly the same manner, evidently for q
similar purpose. These eyes are COM
pound; the simple eyes which are found
in most insects along with the COM
pound are entirely wanting in the
whirligig.

HOW THE PAPER Is APPLIED.

other parts, is then forced evenly
against the wet surface by means of a
brush. All of this last coat of pigment
is thus removed, save that which is
opposite the markings on the paper,
which is an exact Photographic repro
duction from fine example of the
original wood. The markings are
chemically prepared and thoroughly
non-absorbent, while the remainder of
the paper absorbs readily. After the
surface has thoroughly dried it is var.
nished, thus bringing out the grain and
holding it permanently.
At present the paper, which is put up
in rolls four yards long and 26 inches
wide, is made to initiate several styles
of oak, four styles of walnut and one
each of rosewood, maple, German and
Hungarian ash, mahogany and marble.
1t is alleged that the paper can be used
so times on water color, with care, but
Is times will give much better results,
while on oil color the paper can be used
fewer times.

BLusH1NG A DISEASE.
Rush Of Blood Due to Ereuthophobia
OF ErythophObia, Says .
French Expert.

The general idea that blushing is due
to fullness of blood in the brain is in
correct, according to the new theory
Of a French expert. 1t arises from the
relaxation of the arteries of the face,
neck and breast, thus allowing an extra
quantity of blood to rush to the skin.
Those arteries have in their walls a
layer of rings of muscular fiber, which
contract or relax according to the con-
dition of the patient, and so permit the
arteries to become more or less full of
blood. When they are extra full, which
occurs in weakness, the patient bushes.
Blushers are more liable to redden
in damp or stormy weather than in the
cold days of winter or the hot days of
summer. If this glowing of the face
were the result of emotion, why this
difference? fit be due to weakness the
fact assumes the appearance of proba-
bility.
There are two closely allied causes
of blushing. One is named 'ereutho-
phobia;" that is the ordinary cause
weakness, and the extreme sensitive
ness and other conditions caused by it.
The other is designated ''erythopho-
biz" and is the fear that one will blush
unconsciously at awkward moments.
The latter is peculiar form of the
disease. The individual in question, al
though not given to blushing, becomes
gradually possessed with fear that
he will do so at some inopportune time,
and this fear grows upon him until it
completely masters him and makes him
grow red in the face when there is not
the slightest reason for it.
At the most simple question the color
rises and he is placed in the most alb
surd situation. He is looked upon with
suspicion, because other people accept
his confusion as consciousness of guilt;
he recognizes the fact and, of course,
his condition grows worse. Weakness
is responsible in this case also for the
deplorable state of things, for when
''braced up" he smiles at his former
fears.
1t must be a very strong emotion that
causes a flush to come to the face of a
really healthy man or woman. What
ever they may feel they will not show it
any more than they will show fear
when confronted by great danger. In
the latter case there is no doubt about
the danger; it is fully understood that
there may be feeling of fear within,
but it is not shown by the face. A sim
liar remark applies to the sense of
shame under reproach. That feeling
will not be betrayed by a blush. because
the individual is not afflicted by the
disease.-Pearson's Weekly.

COUNTERFEIT HEROES.
Their Clothes Are All Right, Bu,
Their Military Knowledge
II Limited

Civilians have come to the conclusion
that the Army building is no place for
loafers, and loafers who are civilians
have reached the same decision. The
employees of the government have been
instructed to keep their eyes open, and
in case any man is seen in the doorway
or halls of the Army building with moth
ing particular to do, to tell him to
move on" This state of affairs has
come to pass, through the swarm of
swindlers who have, since the first
transports came in last fall, been rob-
bling the repatriated soldiers.
To escape the vigilance of the govern
ment clerk and detectives some of the
swindlers have hit upon a scheme by
which number of them profited to the
extent of quite sum of money, which
they "buncoed" from some soldiers.
This scheme is nothing more nor less
than obtaining old uniforms and wear
ing them, thus posing as comrades in
arms. It is fact that a soldier will al
ways trust soldier, and many have suf-
fered through this.
This plan was very hard to break up,
as the Army building is the headquar-
tiers of soldiers who are waiting for
transportation, and as rule there are
from so to 100 men about the building at
all times. However, counter scheme
was planned by a clerk in the trans
portation department, and this was to
approach the would-be ''heroes" and
ask them few questions concerning
the campaign. The results attained
were astonishing. Rear admirals, colo
nels, a United States senator, a captain
of marines and a score of civil war
heroes were inextricably mixed with ma
tional guard and volunteer officers of
the present war. One old charlatan was
especially amusing. He was gray
haired and wore New York national
guard uniform with full dress coat and
campaign hat. He was stout to the
bursting point and his appearance was
decidedly martial. His face was scarlet,
color due to the smallness of his belt.
The investigator approached him and
asked him what regiment he belonged
to. The "hero'' pondered and finally
said that he wasn't quite sure.
.''Not sure? Why, what's the matter
with you?''
''Why, you see, young fellow, it was
this way: My captains name was
Roosevelt, but that's all know, because
I was wounded and that hurried me
