ANGEL Of DEATH HOVFRS OVER BED

spondent says an eye witness returning
from the Vatican at midnight described
as a most moving scene the grandeur
of the pope's participation in the last
sacraments and the wonderful COM
posture with which the pontiff received
from the doctors the intimation of the
gravity of his illness. The informant
said: although the pope himself feels
worse than ever in his life, he is
optimistic and has not entirely given
UP hope. Noticing the earnestness dis
played by the doctors, his holiness
himself ordered the last sacraments,
wishing to play his part of sovereign
of the church to the last and receive
the final consolation while in full pos
session of his faculties. Before parti-
cipating in the rite, the pontiff bade
farewell to the pontifical court-the
central figure in a setting which unu-
folded the whole gorgeous pomp OF
the Vatican"
The London newspapers in their
leading articles this morning unstint-
ingly eulogize the dying pope, whose
bedside irrespective of creeds, is a
center of melancholy interest to the
whole Christian world"
The Daily News says he has done
something to bring back the papacy to
the position which it held during the
best days in the middle ages-the posi-
ton of arbiter and peacemaker in
Europe He has diverted his energies
to the exercise and larger spiritual
powers from the futile parochial strug-
gle of hostility to the Italian monarchy.
He is battling against death with the
serene and cheerful fortitude which
has been the keynote of his life.
The Daily Telegraph says His
sanity character and blameless life ap-
pealed even to those who most strongly
repudiate his spiritual claims. He has
conferred luster on his office akin to
that which the office conferred on him.
The whole world prays that he may
enter painlessly into rest"
Other papers have articles in the
same strain, all accepting the belief
that recovery is impossible.

GRAFT SKIN FROM LIVE FROG
Physicians Ann Arbor Perform Successful Experiment
MutiIated Hand of Workman.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, July 5.-The
unusual experiment of grating frog
skin OH the hand of patient has been
successfully performed at the home
opathy hospital of the Michigan uni
versity by Surgeon Westfall. Albert
White, furniture workman of Adrian,
had his hand caught in a sander and
lost some of his hand. At first skin
from the patients leg was transplant
ed on the hand, but the operation was
slow and painful. DR.. Westfall then

the skin, sliced the white skin off it's
belly and placed the particles on the
area to be covered. These CRAFTS were
covered with very thin rubber tissue
and that surrounded by dressing
moistened by a common solution. At
ter ninety-six hours the whole dressing
was removed. The frogskin CRAFTS had
united, the granulation on the surface
of the raw hand had penetrated up
through the frogskin and projected
beyond the surface Of the latter, so
that the whole surface appeared red.
The cells in the frogskin had begun to
grow and covered the whole surface of
the new skin. Mr.. White expects to
leave the homeopathy hospital in ten
days with his hand completely healed.

Noon stroIIs on the Bridge.

At noon any day except Saturdays
and Sundays hundreds of persons can
be seen moving idly to and fro On the
bridge promenade. They lack the air
of purpose which characterizes those
having a particular destination. Some
loiter along taking in deep breaths,
others stand near the railing watching
tugs and ferryboats snorting along be-
low. None of them seems to be in a
hurry until the 1 o'clock whistle blows,
when they fall in for quick march to
the Manhattan end of the structure.
They are employees in the down town
offices near the bridge out for a sniff
of fresh air after luncheon. They take
this daily trip just as some men indulge
in a cigar. Those who have time
enough carry books along and sit down
to read on the benches placed at inter-
walls along the first span. But these
are exceptions. The others have to be
content with ten or fifteen minutes and
then rush back to the afternoons toll.
