Girls Scalp Replaced by Patches OF
Flesh From Herself and
Her Friends

Chicago, March 21.-With 4.5O0 bits of
skin engrafted upon her head, of which
the patient herself supplied 1900 pieces
from different parts of her body, Mary
Maloney, a west side girl, is enjoying
full health, while only a few months
ago the doctors hardly gave her a
chance for life. The other 2,7oO pieces
of skin were furnished by Miss Ma
loneys two sisters and a brother and
now a healthy, perspiring flesh takes
the place of one torn from her head by
her hair becoming entangled in a re-
vOlving shaft. DR.. Frederick G. Scha efer
performed the delicate operation, which
is the most extensive of it's kind known
to surgery.
1t was a long and tedious process,
and the result being in doubt the work
was performed as quickly as possible
Several times the girls strength gave
way and there were fears that she
would die, but in each instance she raj
lied and the work progressed until now
her restoration is complete and she is

George Davis left there day before YES

comfortable as possible under the cir
cumstances. When he reached Rich
mond he found that the atmosphere was
much colder, and when Officer Jake
Lange assisted him from the train he
was cold. hungry and sick. George is
a small boy, aged about II years. He
is a bootblack in Cairo, ILL.,, when he is
at home, but he also rides horses, and
went from Cairo to Los Angeles CAL
for that purpose.
The boy went from Los Angeles by
easy stages to ST. Augustine, and when
he got tired of that city he started his
journey home, with the intention of TAX
ing in Richmond on the way. Not car
ing to ride on a freight or even on the
ordinary train, he concealed himself
carefully on a ladder beneath one of the
sleepers on the fast flying Florida spec
ial and in order to secure himself
against accident he fastened himself
with chains.
During that long ride he remained
stretched on the ladder without drink
without food and without sleep, with the
awful shrieking of the train sounding
in his ears. The boy was very weary
and sick this morning when Officer
Iange released him from his position
under the car at the union depot The

ward, might have been averted and val
liable lives saved, says a Croatian en-
gineer named Czvetkovitch, if the col
liding steamers had been fitted with his
patent marine brake.
The idea of the thing Is simplicity it
self
The brake consists of a large curved
plate of steel attached to the stern of
the steamer, which can be lowered at
will into the water. The screw of a
steamship, it should be explained, when
working ahead, causes stream of
water of terrific force to flow back into
the direction from which the ship has
come, and by lowering the plate of steel
into this stream the power is obtained
necessary to check the ships way and
bring it to a standstill independently
of the engines.
Since the stream caused by the screw
is of greater force when the ship is
steaming fast, the brake would work
equally well whether the speed was 20
knots or 10 knots.
The Clotilde, a steamer of 1 900 tons,
when steaming at a speed of 10 knots,
was brought to an absolute standstill
within thirty seconds during which she
Travelled so slowly that only twenty
feet were trayersed after the brake was
