ties. In Ireland, in particular, this
intelligence should be welcomed. A
building has been exhibited in which
everything from the carpets on the
floor to the curtains on the windows
and the paper on the walls, was made
from peat. The fibers of the remains
OF the reeds and grasses of which
peat is composed have, of course.
their original physical and chemical
characters changed, but the fibrous
structure remains intact, and tho
hbers themselves are very durable,
elastic and nonconductors of heat.
Fabrics woven from them are found
to have the toughness of linen with
the warmth of wool. There is no
textile fabric that cannot be woven
from these fibers. Blankets and other
coverings used for horses and Cattle
have been found in use to excel in
warmth and cleanliness. Paper Of
several qualities has been made. and
the uses to which peat fiber has ale
ready been applied indicate possible
ties that may render the peat boys

USE FOUND FOR APPENDIX

Western Doctor Pronu1gates New
Theory Regarding the ORGAN.
A theory was advanced ~ DIR. e. p.
Hershey of Denver at the meeting Of

al association the other day which, It Is
said. will excite great interest III the
surgical world. The doctor claims to
have found, according to the Philadel-

form appendix. which heretofore has
been believed to be 4 functionless Or
gan. According to the theory, the YER
inform appendix is secretory organ,
the function Of which Is the fabrication
Of the beginning Of the large Intestine.
The arguments the doctor advances IN
support of his theory are very interest
ing, but the other doctors claim they
are not conclusive.
"Dr. Hershey's argument Is very
strong one" said one Of the delegates,
"but it is not backed by facts. l pro-
test against such q theory going out
from this meeting. It will excite a
great deal of comment, and If we are
wrong it will do US no good"
The association refused to consider

form, and he was given year to IN
