Skin orast,ns.

Four hundred and twenty pieces Of
epidermis have bce4, grated on the
right leg of Edward Anderson, Of
Grand Forks, and it is expected that
when the new growth of skin has
completely covered the portion of
the limb that is now bare of skin
that he will have as good leg as
any one. Before the work is com
pletcd two hundred more pieces of
cuticle will be required, and offers
from friends of the young man are
80 numerous that the attending ply
sician has no hesitancy in saying that
this rather difficult job of skin graft
ing will be successfully accomplished
within few weeks.
Forty of the 42O pieces that have
been placed in position came from
the body of the patient himself. and
the remainder of the epidermis has
been taken from volunteers who
knew of the ordeal through which
the young man was going in order
to save his limb. A large part of
the cuticle has been taken from
members of the Young Mems Chris
tian association. of which Mr.. Ande,;-

FIRE ORDINANCES. OF 1915.
Those in Force Nearly a Century Ago
Were Quite Stringent and Cow
cred Many Points.

Fire ordinances are by no means mod
ern or even complicated, at least in pro-
portion to the new inventions and causes,
electric lights and other elaborate and
inflammable fixtures, and to the vari-
Gus inventions and methods of preven-
ton. Nearly hundred years ago there
were ordinances as numerous and as
long for the prevention and extinction
of fires. In 1915 Detroit had an elabo-
rate fire ordinance. 1t ordered every
householder to provide pair of water
buckets and wooden vessel holding 20
or % gallons, with two loops strongly
attached thereto" which were always
to be kept full of water in q place where
it could not be frozen and to have q
lever or pole of sufficient weight and
strength to sustain said vessel. To each
chimney of his house he must attach .
substantial ladder, to be fastened to the
roof, and another ladder long enough to
communicate with the first.
Every male person capable of giving

assistance must, on the alarm of fire,
repair to the scene, carrying one or more
of such vessels, and obey the orders of
one of the trustees. Twelve house.
holders appointed by the board of
trustees were to provide themselves each
with "a good telling ak" and repair to
the place of the fire. Six others were to
be provided by the corporation with
three battering rams. to be used at
fires. There were also "a to be provided
with ''fire-hooks." Every shopkeeper
must provide himself with. two three
bushel bags with which to beat out the
fire.
For neglecting to provide these vari-
Gus implements q fine of five dollars was
imposed: for neglect of duty at fires, .
fine of ten dollars.
The present habit of disregarding Are
ordinances would seem to be an Inherit
ed one. But at least this cannot be
said of the failure to enforce the ordi-
nances. The record shows that at least
once q week there was some complaint
of noncompliance. An entire session,
July 2, 1921, was taken up with the
business. Nearly 40 delinquentsw were fined
from Is scents to $1.25 forbeing deficient"

PORTO R1CANSr GLAD.
WITH ACTION SEATING
DEGETAU AS DELEGATE.
Rank and File Of People Feel That
They Now Have Part in Shap-
ing Legislation Needed for
the Island.

Every member of the house of repre.
sentatives in Washington who voted for
the resolution to seat Hon. FREDERICK
Degetau, resident commissioner of
Porto Rico. as territorial delegate
would feel the consciousness of a good
Iced we'll done If he could mingle Just
now with the natives and Americans in
the island and hear the favorable COM
ments. In fact, there are no opinions
adverse to the propriety or justice of the
action, which is looked upon as thor
oughly American in spirit.
Just at this time some such express
sion OF interest by congress was needed
to allay native fears and offset anti-ad-
ministration TRADES to the effect that
the Washington politicians never give
a thought to the needs of Porto Rico or
encourage the island to move in the di-
rectlon OF territorial rights and ultimate
statehood. Now there is rejoicing
throughout the island and native hopes
for bright future have been revived.
In brief, the political effect Of seating
Mr.. Degetau and his successors has been
immediate, beneficial and far-reaching.
Gov. Hunt, who voices the sentiment
OF all the administration leaders of Porto
Rico. said: Il am very much gratified
by the action of the house of represen-
tattves. The interests of the million
souls within the island of Porto Rico can
be much more directly presented to con-
gress by commissioner with power to
introduce bills and speak than by one
whose voice could only be heard in COM
mittees.
= THE island is entitled to federal con-
stderation. Its harbors need dredging,
its postal facilities need extension, its
agricultural experiment stations need
special consideration, its Notifications
need repair and its educational require
ments ought to have congressional aid

ington. it should be helpful to feel that
they can be laid before congress by a
elected by Porto Ricans
themselves"
Hon. Frederic Degetau, who has held
the Office of resident commissioner in
Washington from Porto Rico to the
United States. belongs to the local re-
publican party. He is paid $1,000 year
from insular funds, and is serving his
second biennial term, which will ex-
pire on December 81 next. His success
sor will be elected by popular vote in the
island next November, and, unless all
present signs fail, will be republican
He was born at Ponce, Porto Rico, and
was graduated as bachelor of science
and arts at Barcelona. Spain, and as
bachelor of laws at Madrid. He was
one of the four commissioners sent by
Porto Rico to ask Spain for autonomy,
and the district of Ponce elected him a
deputy to the Spanish cortes of 1893.
Upon American occupation Gen. Henry
appointed him secretary of the interior
of the first American cabinet formed in
Porto Rico. Later he was a member of
the insular board of charities, first vice
president Of the municipal council of
San Juan and president of the board of
education of the capital. He was first
elected resident commissioner on No.
vember 8, 1900, by 58,515 votes against
but 148 cast for his federal opponent,
the federals having generally refused to
vote. In November, 1902, Mr.. Degetau
was reelected by more than 10000 ma
jority, carrying five of the seven cleo
ton districts of the island. He was adj
mitted to practice in the supreme court
of the United States on April 30, 1901,
and is an able lawyer.
The local republican party is, Of
course, highly elated by the seating of
Mr.. Degetau. DR.. Jose Brioso and Mayor

In such graphic words, says the New

this winter in this wilderness of Amer
ica,' visiting a friend owning truck
farm just within the Everglades, de-
scribed this tract of land and water COW

These thousands of acres have lain
dormant from time immemorial, and for
the most part are given over to wild ami

There are few settlements on the edges,
but much of the tract has been deemed
impenetrable, owing to the character of
the morass and the impossible holes
and sinks that break the surface, and is
as much unknown to civilization as the
heart Of Africa. Settlers along the east

ventures, and was accorded the gold
medal of the Geographical society. Ku-
ropatkin entered the Turkish war as
a lieutenant and emerged a colonel, and
from that time his advancement has
been rapid. He is the man who en-
gineered the usurpation Of Finland, and
he has been a prominent figure in pro-
noting the Trans-Siberian road. He
is credited with being master of the
science of war, and his history Of the
Balkan campaigns is considered to be
military classic.

that, and what he says he means.
When the British ship Kowshing, load
ed by the Chinese with soldiers and
stores, was caught near the Corean
coast and refused to obey Togo's orders
to follow him, he warned all Europeans
to leave the ship and then promptly tor
pedoed her and blew her up, not even
helping the Chinese who were struggling

Snake Torpid in a Tree.

Charles Mcclure and John Crouch, OF
louisville, Ind, felled a large tree which
stood on farm owned by James Bren-
del. When the tree had fallen to the
ground a large hole, which appeared to
be a squirrel den, was found in the
forks of the tree, about 80 feet from the
butt. In this hole torpid blacksnake
five feet long was found. Mr.. Snake
had crawled into this hole last fall to
lie in wait for squirrels, and had unex-
pectedly been caught by the cold weather.

trees. From the bottom of the lakes
grow tall grasses that present a beau
tiful appearance when viewed from a
distance.
THE word swamp as generally under
stood has no application to the Ever
glades, for they abound in pure water
which is constantly moving in one di
rection or another, depending upon the
topography of the country. The air is
wholesome, pure, and free from disease
germs, and government statistics show
that fevers and epidemic diseases are
almost unknown. There are not even
mosquitoes in the Everglades, for no
stagnant pools exist in which the larvae
can thrive.
''The grass is the greatest impediment
to progress through the Everglades,
three kinds of it being encountered.
There is the matted, half floating grass,
which is found where the water is shall
low. The canoeist has some trouble in
pushing through it at times, but ordi-
narily it is not noticed. Another kind
is the round grass, which is abundant
on the eastern edge. and, lastly, there
is the saw grass, which is the terror of
all who attempt to penetrate these tracts.
''The few Seminole Indians who peo-
pie the Everglades avoid intercourse
with the white man as much as possible.
They have shown their wisdom by refus-
ling to act as guides for parties of tour
lists anxious to penetrate the glades, for
should they do so their secret trails
would become known, and the quiet
lives they live in these Businesses would
be liable to interruption. ia white man
gets lost in the glades an Indian may
consent to guide him out, but never in.
They have trails through the glades
which they follow as unerringly as
New Yorker walks from the Battery to
Central park.
''The only kind of craft that can be
used with any success in the Everglades
is an Indian canoe. These are followed
out of cypress logs and weigh 200 or 300
pounds. They are narrow for their
length, sharp on the waterline forward,
but above they flare out suddenly into
blunt bow. They are also narrow at
the stern, where they finish in an over
hang, upon which is built platform
or slight elevation, where the canoeist
stands and poles the craft along. Pad
dies are unknown in the Everglades, the
canoes being sent through the water by
means of long poles"
