detection. It may be regretted that Mr..
Phillpotts should turn aside from the pict-

may be felt that the vivid descriptions
Of nature he draws here are a little out
OF place, or wen that good English Is a
luxury in a detective story, but as long
as he chose to write one he must be con-
graduated on writing a good one. Not
that the book has not its faults. The 40
tons of the heroine are not wholly rational,
and the clumsy device OF making the villain
tell his whole story is used, though the
reader knows nearly all he has to say. 1t
should be added that that story is told
in a very entertaining way. The chief
fault, however, is the continuation Of the
tale with the chase across the Atlantic
after the problem has been solved. This
Is inartistic, though it gives Mr.. P~hillpotts
an opportunity for brilliant descriptions
OF West Indian scenery. The reader will
not mind these flaws, but will follow breath
lessly to the end. There are many typo

BRONX roo RHINO OPERATED on.
Victoria Nyanza Has Her Jaw Fixed and Is
Now Doing Nicely.

Friends Of Miss Victoria Nyanza, the two
horned lady Thinoceros at the Bronx Zoo,
will be pleased to earn that the operation
performed on her last Thursday has beer
successful and that she is at present resting
quietly in her home, the house Of the pachy-
derms.
Miss Victoria came to the Zoo a year and
a half ago. Until recently she seemed to
nave forgotten the joys of the African
lake from which she takes her name and to
nave settled down to the more commonplace
comforts Of The Bronx. In the last few
days, however, Miss Victoria has shown
the feverish unrest OF an Independence
League candidate who has been sidestepped
on the ticket, or of a person suff ering from
toothache. The keepers at first thought
it was toothache, but Victoria's fretful
head tossings-the two horns are quite
sharp-prevented an accurate diagnosis,
and it was not until Director Hornaday,
fearful Of losing the pet Of the pachyderm
house, called in DR.. W. r. Blair, b veteri-
marian Of the zoo, that Victoria's trouble
was found to be necrosis Of the jaw.
That's a very serious trouble for a 700
pound rhino. 1t causes Assesses that
won't heal and it wac ecide that an imme-
diate operation was necessary.
DIR. W. l.. Williams, professor OF surgery
in the State Veterinary College at Cornell
was called in to do the job. He saw at
once that Miss Vic had the artistic
ment and would be difficult to handle.
DR.. James T. Gwathmey, an expert in
anassthetics, was summoned to deal with
Miss Victoria's temperament, and DIR. Blair
stood by to help In case DR.. Williams found
himself between the horns OF a dilemma
which is only another name for a two horned
rino.
A thick mattress was prepared and five
husky keepers were summoned to act as
trained nurses. They seemed to think
that it would be easier for the patient IL
she were tied, so they got several cables and
did the job thoroughly.
time he jabbed in the needle the trained
nurse department literally vent up in the
air, but after several applications Miss
Victoria lay quiet and DR.. Williams started
to operate. He made one out, but Just
what happened afterward is not quite clear.
The stories differ as to just who did get out
first.
Cocaine. il was decided, was hardly the
thing. so they gave Miss Vic chloroform-
three ounces and a half OF IL. She lay quiet
after that and the operation was finished.
Later the keepers became alarmed be-
cause Miss Vic slept so long. and, entering
the cage. they began 10 shake her gently.
The zoo nearly lost five experienced keepers
as the result, but Director Hornaday was
assured that Miss Victoria had suffered no
loss of vigor from the big dose of chloroform.
He reported last evening that the 700 pound
young. lady was doing nicely and would
undoubtedly recover.

Elks through members of the Macon

and soon after the first fight and vic

upon. Now that it is to go further and
be taken up for final hearing there
will be much greater interest because
of the fact that this is the determining
