pacon stated that Lieut.. Col. Wylly has
rendered valuable service in Cuba, and
cen Wood is exceedingly anxious to have
him continued on duty in Cuba. Gen. Cor

excellent record Lieut.. Col. Wylly has
made with the Immune regiment, but he
will probably have to be mustered out

under which he may be retained in the

images can be brought together for the
estimation, but the experiment Is well
worth trying and the experience is a great
acquisition for judging not only magnify
ing power, but also definition There is
constant demand for a high-power glass
in a shorter form than It is possible to
obtain. Evidently when there is merely
a distance Of three or five and one-half
inches allowed between eyepiece and OBJ
iective it is difficult to get anything but
a low power, for, supposlng the eyepiece
TO be one and one-half inch focus (Which
would be very deep ens), then the objec-
tive would be about four and one-half
OF five-inch focal length and the power
three diameter. Suppose the eyepece were
made one inch, the objective would be
about one diameter, the number of rays
entering the eye being greatly diminished
using a corresponding loss OF light.
There is a considerable difference in the
external form of opera, field and marine
glasses corresponding to the purposes for
which they are used. The opera glass
must be light and convenient for holdine
in one hand when raised TO the eye. con-
sequently it should be small. AS IL Is in
tended for use chiefly inside buildings and
at comparatively short distances no great
power is necessary, two and one-half or
three diamelers being sufficient. especially
as bright field is a desideratum. The
field glass is required for grea Ter distances,
a higher magnfying power being demand
ed by the sportsman or tourist who car
ries II. The objective Is not necessarily
large, as comparatively limited areas are
viewed
The marine glass, as its name indicates,
IS designed for use at sea. The requisites
are a wide field of vision and as high a
power as is consistent with good illumna-
ton. This latter consideration will not al

with the best field glasses. They are gem
orally constructed of low form. with wide
eyepieces and large object-glasses, the en-

PLANTS HAIR ON BALD SPOTS.
Turkish Doctor Discovers Process

moved.
From the Chicago Tribune.
New York, March 19.-Dr. Menahem Ho-
dsra of Constandnople announces that he
can take a fragment of hair and by i'm
planting In on the scalp of bald patient,
make the meager clipping take root ana
grow into long, heavy hair, with a root
of its own. He says that he tried it upon
several patients and has afterward DEM
orstrated its success by mlcroscopical ex-
animation.
In a local paper DR.. Hodara is quoted
as follows:
1T is a fact that I have been able 20
plant clipping of hair on mans head so
that they would grow. This discovery was
the result of an experiment.
Il 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 disfgure-
ment was so great that 1 determined to
see if I could not make a natural cover
ing for the bald spots.
Briefly described, the operation per-
formed consisted of scarifying the surface
of the scalp with instrument which
makes a number of shallow incisions at a
stroke. his was uOilS HI DOLn 0lFECllOn5
so that the line of incision crossed each
other.
Hairs were then cut from the patients
head. and after both ends had been clipped
so that an even length was obtained, these
prepared hairs were placed, by the aid of
forceps, in the incsions l had made in
the scalp.
at the end of four weeks I found that
many Of the hairs had taken root and We're
growing. There was no possibility of mis-
take 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 say, each
hair was found to have formed a real
new bulb or root. This was shown con-
clusively by microscopical examination.
1.-The fact that these hairs took root and
grew proves that the hair in itself con-
tains the cells which enable it to produce
for itself, those accessories which are
necessary 10 secure it in its site In this
respect it resembles a cutting from a
plant.
