DOG HAIR GRATED
ON BOYS SCALP,
Remarkable Surgical Opera
\ ton After an Accident.
MOTHER WANTED TO SUPPLY 1T.
The Boy Himself Suggested the Curly
Dogs Wool.

New York, Feb. 12.-'I do not care
whether it is dogs hair or any other
sort so long as my little boy comes
back to me with his laughing face
and glad heart" said Mrs. John
Trammer when asked about the un-
usual surgical operation that her O.
year-old boy Otto has Just undergone
at Flower Hospital.
---sFhey have grated patch from
his dogs back right on the top ofhis
bead" she said, land the hair is
xgrowing as luxuriantly and as thick
u ly as it would il it were his own"
j Otto TANNER, a bright little chap,
was at play with children on Christ
mas eve when trolley car ran him
down, rolled him over and finally
dragged him 80 feet under the fender.
One leg and an arm were broken and
several ribs fractured. A patch OF
his scalp was torn of and left in the
street, while what remained OF his
head covering hung by the skin on
his neck. The scalp was drawn back
into place and fastened. His broken
bones we're set. For two weeks he
disturbedthe putients in the surgical
ward by his delirious means. When
he came to himself it was found that
his collar bone was also broken.
This was set and, he began to mend;
but he had no hair or flesh on piece
of his skull six inches square.
"'There is but one chance for him,
said DR.. Wilcox, and that is to graft
\ some hair onto his head explained
his happy mother when reporter
asked her about it to-day.
"And as there was no one who
wanted to give up his scalp for him,
Iconcluded to give up mine. By that
time Otto had got 30 that he sat up
in bed and played a good deal. One
Of his playfellows was Fritz, the
hospital dog. The nurses had given
Fritz to Otto. One day when went
to see Otto, l found him with excite
ment shining in his eyes. 1t had oc-
Cured to him to ask Fritz to give up
part of his skin with the hair on it,
instead of scalping me, his mother
He had asked the surgeon, and the
surgeon said he believed it could be
done if we were willing to try it. We
were, and so the dog was chloroform-
ed and six inches OF his skin, with the
/ long, wavy black hair on il, was cut
i of with the thin flesh under it and
grated onto poor Qtto,s bald eFaai'
UNI.
"After it was done the surgeons
were not SO sure it would succeed
but when Otto came out OF the chic
roform and was told that the hail
was on his head he was delighted and
said he would make it grow. And il
did grow. DR.. Wilcox told me that
twas the only case in America where
dogs skin had been grated upon
human beings head, and he was
not sure that it was done right. But
the other day when l went up to SET
him the cast had been taken off anC
the hair was found to be finely graft
ed and growing. OF course, it vii
not part in the middle yet, but thai
will come with time. / am satisfied
to know he has hair at all. 1t is sof
and silky and shines like ebony
\ There is little wave to it and wheI
I his hair 10 combed over and lies OF
top and blends with the dogs hal
\the scars of his accident will all b.
covered up"

NEW ELECTRIC sY STEM.
Speed of Forty-Five Miles an
Hour Is Attained.

The first test of new system of
electric traction is reported in the
Electrical Review as having surpassed
the expectations of the installing en-
gipeers. This is the system that re-
Gently attracted so much attention in
London, on account of its low bid for
the electric traction work in that city.
A spondent in Italy, where the
installation has just been completed,
says that q speed of IS miles an hour
was secured without any serious jar
ring, and that trains Of five cars were
easily transported at this speed even
on decided grades. The dynamos work
perfectly at 21,0Oo volts on line 81
miles in length. The engineers are par
ticularly well pleased with the be-
havior of the electric automatic APP
pliances,
This new method Of electric traction
is what is known as the high-tension
polyphase system, and the results of
these tests have been awaited with
much interest by electric railway in
terests in general.

MAKING RECORD FOR ITSELF.
Department of Navy Gaining
International Reputation.

A great number of inquiries which
have recently been received from for
eign navies by Capt G. c. Todd, chief
photographer of the navy, attest to
the remarkable prestige this branch
of our naval service has gained
abroad. Our photographic service is
conceded to be more advanced and
complete than that of any other navy
in the world and foreign navies are
endeavoring to emulate the example
set by our own advance in this line.
Requests for information on various
points come from Spain, France,
Greece and practically all of the Eu-
ropean nations, and all proper infor-
nation is given without reserve. In
some cases foreign naval authorities
have offered to pay for valuable bits
of information, concerning reef,
perhaps, which is uncharted on their
own maps, or the unknown depth of
water in some channel. But all that
is asked in return by the hydrograph-
ic office is that the inquirer contrib
ute to the knowledge already in hand
at Washington as far as possible.
The pilot charts which are issued
monthly by the Office are fast gain
ing an almost universal reputation
They give, beside data of strictly
technical nature, weather forecasts
for the ensuing month covering prac-
tically the whole world.

BUILDS NEW WAR BALLOON.
English Inventor Has nm Airship
which He Says Cam BE Steered
an Any Direction.

DIR. Barton's war balloon, which, it
is said, the British war Office pro-
poses TO buy, has a platform and ma
CHR cry which is suspended cigar
shape. The balloon can be steered in
any direction. The, propellers are
driven by a high-speed motor be-
tween the balloon ano the car.
There is a horizontal aeroplane, the
fixed operation of which causes the
balloon to ascend and descend in
straight progress at any altitude. At
the rear there is vertical aeroplane
for steering to the right and left.
The difficulty arising from moving
the center of gravity is circamvented
by two half-flled water tanks at each
end, from which water is automatic
ally pumped from one TO the other
as the end of the machine becomes
heavier. The aerostat is divided into
gas-tight compartments.
DIR. Barton hopes by the end Of
summer to float his balloon and carry
three people at the rate of 10 or 10
miles an hour,

TO FLY TO NEW YORK.
Aeronnut Gussave Whitehead, of Com
necticut, Encouraged by His
Recent Success.

Gustave Whitehead, the inventor of
the flying machine, of Bridgeport,
Conn, who recently flew half mile
successfully, is now engaged in con-
structing a new machine, in which he
proposes to fly to New York. He said
the other day: my success in flying
with the first model, which is rough
and cumbersome, has induced me TO
build another machine. which will be
larger and strong enough to carry two
men. / shall fly TO New York on my
next trial l am confident that ! can
fly that distance with my new machine.
will then have my new acetylene-
chemical pressure generator ready. l
can carry enough calcium carbide,
which is the fuel used. to fly for 20
hours. That is more than enough TO
fly to New York with. Ny present ma
chine I am going to take to Atlantic
City to exhibit and shall demonstrate
its practicability there as being able to
carry man."
Inventor Whitehead has received
SCORES of letters since the articles on
his successful fight were published
from scientific men in all parts of the
country asking all sorts of questions
and for descriptions of the machine.
He has two expert machinists now
working on the new machine and
money will not be spared in making it
the acme of lightness and strength.

U. s. AGAINST THE WORLD.
Prof. suesn, Eminent Publfcfst and
Paleontoaogist, Discusses Our an
dustrinl Preponderance.

Prof. Edward Suess, the eminent
publicist and palaeontologist, has
given an interview respecting the in
dustriaI and political preponderance
of the United States that attracts
much attention, especially as it con-
firms the anti-Amer5can views of con-
tinental manufacturers and econo-
mists.
The professor, surveying interna-
of political philosopher, observes
that while the French revolution was
occasioned by the abuses of the privi-
legged classes the present situation has
been caused by revolution OF material
conditions. The declining national
sentiment should be replaced by a
movement for the common defense of
the central European states against
the American trusts which are moving
TO conquer the foreign markets more
surely than they could be conquered
by battleships. The American balance
of trade has reached an unparalleled
figure. 1t was a serious question if the
present political units of central Eu-
rope were strong enough to make an
effective defense, taking into account
the physical conditions. The present
shifting of the center of gravity of the
worlds forces would create three
great units-China, Russia and Amer
lea. When China was equipped with
railroads the people would find that
she had the most capable merchants
and the cheapest labor. RUSSIA would
have the largest army and be he great
est peasant state. European capital
would flow to the United States and
would be an important increase OF
her economic prosperity. of the three
the United States had decidedly the
lead. Its policy was commercial ag
gression, beyond doubt, and states like
the American union and Russia hac
gained far more in the way of the mo
bilization of their powers from the
construction of railroads than sucf
countries as Germany and France.

MORE THAN A MILE A MINUTE.
Union Pacific Fast Mall Makes Rec.
ord Run tn Nebraska Between
Grand Island and Omaha.

A record run through Nebraska was
made by the Union Pacific fast mail,
which covered the 1913 miles between
Grand Island and Omaha in $50 minu-
utes. The time was ten minutes under
the best previous score. The speed
was made possibly by perfect weather
and the faultless operation of the huge
locomotive, The train left Grand Is
land behind time and took a 60-mile
leap at the outset, West of North
Bend the train was covering 20 miles
OF prairie an hour, and this side of that
town reached the 8e-mile mark for
some distance, The mail drew into
Omaha on time at $40 o'clock, having
made as rapid long-distancc run as
any train ever accomplished in the
west.
