Be of Benefit.

Scientists of the Wister institute of the
University of Pennsylvania formed for
biological research, have found that the
brain of Edward Dunlap. burglarartist,
as it's owner believed in life, is remark
able. Dunlap, who, after life of sue
cessful crime, died at jefferson hospital
Philadelphia, reformed crook. wlled
his brain to the Wister institute for mi
croscopic and comparative study. He
held certain curious ideas upon crime
which he embodied in his biography.
One of these was that there existed, per
haps, germ of crime. In any event.
he said, he was certain his brain would
be found to be unusual, and the study of
it might enable science TO suggest il way
to combat criminal instincts in otllal
men.
'Dunlap's brain in many respects il
the most remarkable specimen we ever
have had here to examine" said DR.
Milton j. Greenman, who is in charge of
the institute. In no other brain we ever
have seen have the assures been so wide

New Danger to the Heron.

Surgeons have long been seeking for
some material for sutures and ligatures
which should be more satisfactory than
those at present in use, which include
cat gut, Kangaroo tendon. silk worm gut.

+. Kiefler has recently used and sug-
gests i'll Il medical journal that the ten
dons of the cranes and heron make ex-
cellent sutures and ligatureS and seem
TO possess some advantages over the ma
terials ut present in use.
Should these suggestions be generally
approved by physicians, birds of the
heron group are threatened with new
danger, which naturalists and bird low
crs will deplore. Some species of heron
have already so greatly decreased in
number that they are even thought TO
be on the verge of extinction. and all
have already so greatly decreased in
numbers that they are even thought ia

threatens this group is thus a very real
