Prof Won Bramann decided to remove

piece of the skull a little larger than
a half-crown, cut through the inner
skin, and discovered a tumur as large
as walnut. The professor skilfully
removed this tumor, sewed up the in
ner skin, fitted in again the round
piece of the skull be had sawn out,
and sewed up the outer skin. The
operation lasted an hour. and may be
considered perfectly successful, as the
child is quite well again and all symp-
toms of paralysis have disappeared.

Chocolate.

In South America the retail price for
the betteugrades Of chocolate averages
about 81 a pound, while in Italy,
France, England and in the United
States the better grades sell at q much
lower price. IN America the ordinary
chocolate Of trade sells for about one
third of the price that is charged for 1t
where it is produced. The cause Of
this, the producers say, Is that the
original product is adulterated greatly
before reaching its final market, a
cheaper article than the cocoa bean
constituting the large proportion Of 90
per cent Of the chocolates Of commerce.
The cocoa bean from which chocolate
is manufactured is produced in its fin
est form in Venezuela, though various
other,parts Of Central and South Amer
lea grow and export large quantities.
Two crops Of the bean are gathered
eachsEear, and the manufacture con-
sists simply in grinding up the beans
into a!meal and then adding sugar and
arrowroot, with the necessary flavor,
usually vanilla or cinnamon. The mass
is moistened until it is in a semifuid
state, after which it is rln into molds
Of the proper shape.
