Buffaloes and elephants are by no

mense herds of buffaloes roam about the
vast northern plains of Australia, but
bloodthirsty blacks are also numerous
III that region, and buffalo-hunters
carry their lives in their hands. Also,
according to the latest number Of the
British North Borneo Herald, large
numbers of elephants occupy the jun
giles to the south of Sandakan bay. 1t

Forgot His Native Tongue.

Andrew Lawson, a Norwegian cooper
was struck on the head by falling
block while at work on one of the piers
of the Atlantic Transport company,
New York city, on Sept. S, 1898. He
lay like one dead in st. Vincent's hos
pital for two months. His life was
despaired of, but finally he rallied and
regained part Of his lost strength.
Lawson is in normal condition in
every sense, with the exception that he
has forgotten all about his former life
and companions, and has no remem-
brance Of his native tongue. Try as
he will he cannot converse in the Ian
guage that he learned in Norway. HIS
wifi" is instrucing him as she does their
four-year-old boy. Lawson speaks the
English language only imperfectly. The
case has attracted the attention Of
scientists and specialists.

EGG MEMBRANE
Used a. . Substitute For Skin Grating
For Surface Wounds,

Used as Substitute For Skin Grating
For Surface Wounds.
New York Special Chicago Tribune:
Medical science has discovered that
the hens egg provides an admirable
substitute for human flesh to graft on
human open wounds. The substitute
is the delicate membrane that imme-
diately lines the inside of a hens egg.
The German surgeons first found that
this membrane can be successfully
used as the nucleus for granulaton OF
open wounds. The surgeons of the
Seney Hospital in Brooklyn were the
first in this country to adopt and prac-
tice the Germans discovery. Conse-
quently Edgar A. Garbut will leave the
Seney Hospital, Brooklyn, and again
take charge OF his laundry. Garbut.
&c years old now, fell from his bicycle
two years ago and so severely injured
himself that as the disease of
thel bones advanced it was
necessary to remove the bones
of his left arm, his shoulder
blade, and the left end Of his collar
bone. While Garbut rallied, the sur
geons soon saw that the wounds left
by the operations would not heal on
the surface. Garbut's wife, his nephew
and young man in his employ Of
fered of their cuticle to graft on Gar
butts wounds. But on December 10 the
last one of the surgeons in the Seney
Hospital remembered that the German
surgeons say that the hens egg pro-
vides a substitute for human cuticle
in such cases. So the Seney Hospital
surgeons procured some fresh eggs and
from them took the membrane that
lines the shells, and pieces of men,
brane were planted on Garbut's
wounds. Soon a new skin was formed.
The egg membrane did not form any
part of the new membrane skin, but
simply was a starter" for it.

NEW SOURCE OF auTTAPERcHA
r. osrn.n says n. rrs.. That Proaae.

~ German Says the frees That Proaacs
II win Grow In the philippines.
In a monograph, just published in
Germany, 1t Is shown that the Philip
pines are among the few places on
earth in which the trees from which
guttapercha Is procured will flourish.
The value Of this statement Is not to
be moderated for two reasons: One
Is that guttapercha is an Indispensable
material for the making Of submarine
cables and golf balls; the other is that
the trees In Sumatra and Borneo, from
which the chief supply has hitherto
been drawn are almost entirely ex-
hausted. The cause of this eShaus-
ton lies in the primitive and destruc-
tive methods which were formerly en-
ployed for gathering this valuable
commodity. The natives who never
have any thought for the morrow have
ruthlessly cut down whole forests of
trees, so that they might scrape the
guttapercha. which Is nothing but the
sap from inside the bark. This whole Z.
sale destruction carried on for years
has greatly diminished the annual
crop, but the discovery that these trees
grow and can be successfully cult
waited in the Philippines offers hope
that a new mine of wealth has been
found for American enterprise as soon
as the islands are pacified. While the
chief use OF guttapercha is, of course,
for the isolating covering of electric
wires, large quantity is used for the
manufacture Of golf balls, for which
no other material seems SO we'll adapt
ed. Its hardness after having been
submitted to the proper pressure, and
It's toughness make it the only golf ball
material yet discovered. The amount
of cable laid since 1856 is some 41,S53
knots. representing a cost for the
cables alone of millions of pounds
sterling, and as the prospects are that
during the next fifty years many more
cables will be required and laid, the
demand for guttapercha is almost un-
limited. The wealth which gutta-
percha in the Philippines holds out to
American enterprise is in proportion
to this demand. 49,

AFRICA IN THE NEXT CENTURY
Dark Continent IL Undergoing Won
a. derful Transformation. -

Dark Continent Il Undergoing Won
a. derful Transformation. ~.
: From the Forum: The twentieth
century Africa promises startling con-
trasts when compared with the Africa
of the nineteenth century. With an
area four times as great as that Of the
United States, a population of 100000
600. a soil and climate capable of in
finite variety of production, a rapidly
expanding commerce, and the greatest
known supplies of ivory, gold and dia-
monds its development under the mod
ern methods which are now being ap-
piled to it is practically assured. The
home of the oldest civilization, it is
the last Of the continents to yield to
the touch Of the newest civilization.
But yesterday enveloped in darkness
of mystery without and ignorance
within, it is today illuminated by the
searchlight Of modern methods, and as
its Importance and attractions are be-
ing recognized, with this recognition
must come development. With 2,000,-
900 Europeans scattered over its vast
area, acquainting themselves with Its
natural conditions and requirements,
with the steamer, the railroad, the tele-
graph and the telephone carrying light
and knowledge and civilization to it's
darkest corner. Africa cannot long re-
main unknown or unknowing. 1t was
only after the explorers--Livingston
Spoke, Stanley and others-had dis
covered, through persistent and heroic
effects, that there existed vast navig-
able water ways above the falls near
the mouths of the great streams which
flow from the interior that European
nations awoke to the physical and
commercial possibilities of Africa, and
then, in twinkling, the dark continent
was seized upon and divided up and
became, as by magic, vast European
"hinterland." Between 1884 and 1898
an area two and a half times the size
Of the United States, and containing a
population Of 1O0,O00,0O0, was par
celed out by an agreement of the Eu-
ropean powers. At present scarcely q
foot of African territory remains un-
claimed.
