Has a Cavity In His Chest Through Which
That Organ Protrudes.
Centerville, Ia, Aug. 1S.-The exam
ination of a man with visible lung
made here through a life insurance
application, and r. Bernard, bone ex-
pert, says that science has a new prob
lem to discuss. James Rankin, a coal
miner of % years, was born in LaSalle
with eleven and one-half muscles and
parts of five ribs on the right side miss
ing. He also has cavity in his chest
through which the lung protrudes like
an inflated balloon at every inspira-
ton.
"How Rankin survived infancy is a
mystery" said DR.. Bernard, "for the
congentital trouble caused complica-
lions which should have been fatal"
The mans pulse ranges from thirty
six to 1874 beats to minute without
apparent inconvenience. The lungs are
sound. Theman's appetite is enormous,
his whole organic life seems correct
and he is mining coal every day with
out suffering. The physician will not
say that Rankin is a good risk.
Calls on Iowans for Help.

Shaw yesterday issued a proclamation
calling upon the people of this state to
subscribe to the relief of the hurricane
victims of Porto Rico. He recommends
that all the people contribute, and that
money be forwarded to John Herriott,
state treasurer at Des Moines, who will
transmit to the war department at
Washington. To facilitate collection
of funds the governor appoints the
mayor of each town and the auditor
of each county, and suggests that they
in turn appoint subcommittee to make
diligent canvass for money and sup
plies, the latter to be held until trans
portation arrangements are made.
Protestant Hospital at Des Moinss.
Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 21.-The project
of building great Protestant hospital
in this city under the nominal auspices
of the Methodist church. but really
non-sectarian, Is assured of success.
James Callahan, a millionaire of this
city, offers site worth SIS, 900 and sin
gle cash contributions as high as $10,-
900 are pledged. The financial machin-
cry of the Methodist church has taken
hold of the matter and it is expected
the money will all be raised within a
year.

UNIVERSITY REGENTS.
Proceedings of the Meeting Held at
San Francisco Yesterday.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8. = Al n
regular meeting of the Regents OF the
State University to-day, Regent HALT
day presented a table showing that in
1887 the percentage of female students
attending the university was trifie
over II per cent of the total. This
percentage has steadily increased until
last year it was ~ LOO per cent
A report was presented by Professors
Leuschner and Townley, showing that
it cost Michigan 1913, Ill to educate
1,732 students, and the expenses in
California were S2I3,664, with 1862
pupils The average per student was
1884 in Michigan, and S16S in Cali
fornia. This report was brought in by
the Finance Committee in answer to
a remark by Governor Gage, President
of the board, that the Michigan Uni
.versity was managed at much less
expense than our own.
1t was decided not TO print the re-
port, as no charges had been made
against the Regents.
The condition of the water rights
of the Pomona Agricultural Station
was discussed, and on the recon-
mendation of Regent Reinstein the
matter was allowed 10 rest Until the
rainy season set in, when it would
probably settle itself.
The offer of Mrs. Phoebe Hearst to
meet the expense of a woman physi-
clan in the department of physical
culture, and suggesting the appoint
ment of Dr. Mary Ritter, was accepted,
and DIR. Ritter was given the place.
1t was decided that the salary Of
President Wheeler shall begin on Octo-
Der 1st. when he will assume the duties
of his office.
The request of ex-President Kellogg
for a years leave of absence was taken
under consideration.
The appointment of several instruc-
tors and the faculty of the school OF
design was announced.
Professor Soule requested the board
to apply to the Secretary of War ask
ing him to substitute 800 of the mod
ern Krag- Jorgensen magazine rifles,
and the same number of the new SER
vice cartridge belts for the use of the
cadets. in place of the out-of-date ri
