AN ELEPHANTS SKIN.
Thick as . Plank. but Can Be Grated

We have all heard OF skin being
grated on to human beings but Of all
wonderful surgical achievements that
OF grating a square yard Of skin on
TO an injured elephant Is certainly the
most wonderful on record. This lat.
est triumph Of animal surgery was
performed on a circus elephant named
Belle, which sustained a painful acei-
dent just as she was getting out Of
a railroad car II received q sudden
Jolt owing to the brake falling to
act properly. The elephant was thrown
down and struck her shoulder heavily
on small iron cage that was standing
near. The skin was partially torn on
and generally lacerated over a space
OF quite one square yard in extent.
Inflammation set IN and was followed
by considerable fever. and the ele-
phant. which was the more valuable
because she had a calf. was In grave
danger Of losing her life The special
lists decided that a wholesale opera
ton In skin grating was the only
thing that would do the elephant any
good. but an eephant's skin Is as
thick as a plank. so It was not an
easy undertaking. The great opera
ton was undertaken forthwith in the
menagerie hospital. and Bellies own
son was the first elephant selected TO
supply new pieces OF skin. The young
animals skin was peculiarly suitable
Tor the purpose, as II is tender, yet heal
thy, and vigorous. Moreover. as he is
growing, he VIII have plenty OF new
skin. and he will not miss q little
purloined at the present time. Belle
was placed on the ground IN the oper-
ating theater and secured with heavy
chains 70 immoyable posts. The wound
IN her shoulder was carefully washed
with the usual antiseptic fluids. At
the same time an antiseptlc spray was
kept continually playing in the air
The new skin was taken from the
young elephant in those places where
ne appears to have a great deal more
than he needs. Cocaine was literally
applied where the cuts we're to be
made. A heavy knife was used to cut ]

simply circled round and round until

The range over which the ether waves
may be transmitted simply depends
upon the intensity OF the electric cur
