ants, and the gradual shifting of the
estates which. have not been broken
up from the hands of the nobility into
the hands of the capitalists On the
other hand a slow and gradual, but
nevertheless sure concentration of
the peasants allotted lands into the
hands of growing class of economic
ally strong peasants has been going
on; that is, the concentration Of the
use of the lands, as allotted lands
are not purchasable. Accompanying
this has been the/ gradual abandon
ment of the redivisions of communal
lands, and Strengthening Of private
| ownership in land by these richer
peasants. Thus gradual growth of
two distinct classes are noticed in
the Russian villages, that of strong
farmers, who need additional hired
labor on one hand, and that of
larger class, whose land holdings are
insufficient for Independent farming.
Owing, therefore, to this system of
| land ownership and the antiquated
methods of agriculture, due to the
| poverty and ignorance of the people,
and the: few symptoms of improve
ment by the introduction of better
machinery, rotation of crops and the
sowing of grasses, it is apparent that
the yield of Russian wheat must
necessarily continue to be low, and
hence cannot be cheap wheat, not
withstanding the extreme cheapness
of labor and the low standard of life
In comparing the Russian wheat
yield with that of the United States,
it is interesting to note that unlike
the United States, Russia produces a
great deal more spring than win
ter wheat, the proportion of acreage
for the United States in 1904 being
approximately 81 per cent. winter
and 80 per cent. spring wheat, while
for the Russian empire the proper

An Idiot From Birth,


forming the duties for which it was
intended.
i" This, in the history Of medical
science, is without a, parallel, not only
because such an operation was never
attempted before, but also because
of it's seeming vagueness. The idea
of grating part of the throat of
mother to the pancreas gland of her
child with the expectation of convert
ing the child from idiocy to normal,
mental condition would seem at first
glance unworthy of serious consider
alton. Z. But pr, Karl Care, professor
OF surgery IN the medical faculty of
Breslau university, to whom the oper-
alton is credited, did exactly what has
been described above, and recent de-
spatches from Berlin declare that the
operation has been pronounced COM
plete success.
j.. Professor Care Isl an eminent Ger
man surgeon whose success in the
transplanting of organs from one ami
NAL to another and even from the
lower animals to human beings, has
attracted the attention and admira-
tton of surgical men all over the
world When his report of how he
changed Lena Wolff from an idiot into
"a bright and intelligent little girl is
completed it will form a valuable ad-
: dition to the list of modern miracles
#of surgery.
i ! From the details, of the case al
ready received from Germany it ap-
pears that Lena Wolff was born an
idiot six years ago, says the New
York World. Reason never dawned

parent spark of intelligence and
: seemed doomed to pass her whole life
Il without knowing the joys and sorrows
of living.
i Her case was called to the attention
Of Professor Care, who was inter-
7Sested from the very beginning, be-
cause in it, he saw a. possibility of be-
4 Ing able to prove the correctness of a
:, theory on which he had been at work.
i This involved the probable action or
influence that certain. substances or
secretions found in the ductless
glands Of the human body have upon
the blood.
It is the blood, as everybody knows,
that feeds the brain, keeping it active
and clear and in good working order.
If the blood is thin or sluggish the

At Stamford, Conn, a unique opera.
ton on the skull of the two.year-old
son Of Michael Gunther has given the
boy nationality. The child was born
with normal mental and physical en-
dowments and began to show, when
a year old, signs Of general deficiency
in all his senses. It was finally deter
mined by the surgeons interested in
the case to explore the child's 81 ull.
DR.. J. T. Higgins, OF New York, as
sisted by Drs. Whitehorn and Hogan
of New York, and Howell and Loeb,
of Stamford, performed the operation
at Stamford Hospital few months
ago. They removed strip of bone
from the skull three inches long and
one-half inch wide, to give the brain q
chance to grow. Immediately on re-
covering from the anaesthesia, a look
of normal Intelligence showed in the
child's eyes, proving the theory of the
doctors that the skull had been press
ing unduly on the brain. With the
pressure relieved, the brain was free
to exert itself. The doctors believe
the boy will soon be able to talk and
act as nationally as the brightest of
his little playmates. *

t:The most usually quoted example,
however, of gland which has both
an external and an internal secretion
is the pancfeasSs A relation between
diseases of the pancreas and diabetes
has long been suspected, but Minkow-
ski and Mehring first definitely
showed that complete removal of the
pancreas in the dog, cat and pig is
followed by diabetes, having the usual
symptoms of that disease in man.
That this is caused by the absence of
an internal secretion is proved by the
fact that it does not occur if the gland
be left in stu and the duct tied, nor
does it occur if portion of the pan
creas be grated in some situation re-
mote from its normal position. How
the internal secretion of the pancreas
normally prevents glycosuria Is not
clear. We can only say that it exerts
some influence upon the carbohydrate
metabolism, either by favor1ng the
formation of glycogen in the liver
from the dextrose taken to it by the
portal vein or by further1ng the oxida-
ally"
Sight Restored to Child
Equally remarkable and interesting
is the operation by which sight has
been restored to the blind eyes of lit
tie Margaret Huber, aged ten years,
of No. 524 East Eighty-fourth street,
New York city. She has become the
subject of widespread interest among
opthalmologists by reason Of her pin
hole camera" eyes. Eye surgeons
who have followed the case at the
German Poliklinik declare it to be, so
far as their observations have gone,
without an exact parallel.
Nobody knows exactly how Mar
garet became blind. The liquid mat
ter constituting the lens of the eyes
became atrophied and was entirely
absorbed, leaving the lens a thick
apaQue, fibrous cap, which shut out
every glimmer Of light This was
three years ago, when the little. girl
was only seven.
Several operations were tried. but
with no good results. The membranes:
of the eyes were punctured, but they
Immediately closed again over the
openings like sheet rubber when a
hole is made in it.
DR.. John A. Price, chief surgeon of
the ophthalmic department of the
German Poliklinik, took charge of the
case, performing three operations in
February, March and April, 1894. The
third one restored the sight to the left
eye. The right eye remained stone
blind until two weeks ago, when he
performed most unusual and sue
cessful operation upon it.
He first made a peculiarly shaped
pair of scissors, the under blade
pointed and the upper blade blunt.
