II was drawn 10 the order OF Rush

Just how il came TO be sent here is a
mystery, except that Mr.. Morgan is
writing TO others in New Orleans, and
that he is buying something. and that
something in very large chunks. II IS
known that Mr.. Morgan is interested in

TREPHINING PRACTICED
AMONG THE ANCIENTS
Additional Evidence Discovered in
Michigan.

The discovery of a prehistoric skull
on the west bank of the Saginaw River
in Michigan has Interested the scien-
lists Of New York and Washington.
The popularity OF this skull is the
presence OF a hole, round and smooth,
near the top of the Uranium. The round
ness Of the hole. while it puzzles the
ordinary investigator, seems 20 point to
the use OF an instrument Of fine con-
struction such as would be found only
among a people in a fairly advanced
stage OF civilization. When the matter
was brought TO the attention OF o. T.
Mason. the curator OF anthropoIogy in
the National Museum. who has to Go
with the solving OF just such questions
he said that all over the world skulls
have been found with similar holes and
that they hear witness to the advanced
knowledge of surgery which these an
cient people possessed.
The hole in this skull is an example OF
the ancient skill in trephining This OPP
Grafton consists in the removal of q
small section from one of the bones OF
the skull, usually in the form OF circu-
lar button. and the purpose of the opera
tion is to remove bits of bone which
have been broken in upon the brain, OF
TO relieve the pressure caused by acct
dent or malformation. Conclusive evil
dence is available which shows that this
surgery has been practiced by the an
clients OF Europe. the South Sea Islands
and North and South America.
The National Museum has the best
collection in the world OF skulls show
ing the ancient methods OF performing
the operation. This collection was made
BIZ Manuel Antonio Munez and the sPeci-
mems show that the operations were
performed on living subjects and that il
most cases there was no evidence Of
tions were not successful and that otter
the patient died under treatment
Some OF the wounds show that the
bones have healed and in some instances
only a very small orifice remains 10 in
dictate that an operation was performed
The South Sea Islanders are much giveI
to this practice. and ever since the
islands have been known these people
have made use OF the operation. II is
an unusual thing 20 find an individual in
the islands Who has not had his skull
treated in this manner. 1t has become
a badge OF courage and social distinc-
ton.
Trephining is called the boldest op-

COAL PRICES TO DROP
FIFTY CENTS A TON
Change on April 1 Unless Wages
Are Raised Over 10 Per Cent.

PHILADELPHIA. March Is The
Reading has decided TO decrease the
price OF coal so cents ton on April 1.
unless the coal strike commission shall
recommend an increase in wages ex-
ceeding 10 per cent
to grant an increase OF 10 per cent.
and they are prepared 10 pay IL They
say that they will be satisfied with this
increase, and that n this alone Is grant
ed they can still cut the price Of coal
so cents a ton This would restore the
price to the figure ruling April !. 1902.
and make the retail rate in Philadelphia
S6-25 a ton
A Reading oficial said yesterday:
Look for the usual so cents a ton
reduction April 1. even though the com
mission grants a 10 per cent increase
in wages. We can stand that increase.
but we cannot stand a lot OF added
conditions which would hamper our op-
erations and increase our expenses
without adding a penny 10 the COM
pensation OF the miners.
The Reading produces a little less
than 21 per cent Of the total anthracite
output. which will be about SO. 900. 900
tons this year. The New York roads
want US to make the usual 50 per cent
reduction. and I think IL viii be done.
1 believe housekeepers can safely act
upon this prediction"

grant inspectors for the past thirty
days shows. in my opinion, the plan is
doomed 70 failure. The W. c. T. L. of

some time ago about the large number
Of young women brought to this coun
try in the second cabin for immoral
purposes. The department agreed to
organize a force of women inspectors
TO prevent this, and five women were
appointed for ninety days. They have
now served thirty days. and the work
