New York.--Medical men here and
abroad are awaiting with considera-
BILE interest report from Berlin CIV
ing complete details of q most daring
and unusual surgical operation per-
formed there few weeks ago.
An idiot child, the six-year-old
daughter OF Mrs. Louis Wolf, q resi-
dent OF Berlin, has been converted
into an intelligent being by the proc
ess OF grating part Of the mothers
thyroid gland upon the child's pan
creas. Reduced to palmer language,
this means that part of the mothers
throat has been transferred by the
grating process to gland, or tissue,
lying directly at the back of the stom-
ach. BY this operation the dull, in
active brain of little Lena Wolff has
been awakened so that It is now per-
forming the duties for which 1t was
intended.
This, in the history of medical
science, is without parallel, not only
because such an operation was never
attempted before, but also because
OF its seeming vagueness. The idea
of grating part of the throat of a
mother to the pancreas gland Of her
child with the expectation of convert
ing the child from idiocy to normal.

spatches from Berlin declare that the

plete success.
Professor Care Is 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-
ton of surgical men all over the
world. When his report of how he
changed Lena Wolff from an idiot into
q bright and intelligent little girl is
completed 1T will form valuable adj
dition to the list of modern miracles
OF surgery.
An Idiot From Birth.
From the details of the case al
ready received from Germany it APP
pears that Lena Wolff was born an
idiot six years ago, says the New
York World. Reason never dawned
for her as in other babies. She had
come into the world without one APP
parent spark Of intelligence and
seemed doomed to pass her whole life
without knowing the joys and sorrows
of living.
/ Her case was called to the attention
OF Professor Care, who was inter
ested from tbe very beginning, be-
cause in it he saw possibility Of be-
ing able to prove the correctness Of a
theory on which he had been at work.
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.

top. Pushing the points down through
the pupil, with the sharp blade he
punctured the opaque membrane Of
the lens capsule and cut It squarely
In two. The task Of the surgeon was
to cut 90 delicately and precisely as

Some Surgical MarveIs.
Philadelphia and Toledo. Ohio, have
recently contributed to the list Of
marvels Of surgery through operations
on the brains of incorrigible and men-
tally defective boys. A still more re-
cent case IL that Of Carl Fredericks,
aged nine years. of No. 200 Clinton
street, Hoboken. He Is under observa,
ton at the Railway Reformatory prep
aratory to the practical reconstruction
Of his brain.
The doctors say the boys brain ID
so peculiarly constructed that 1t pre-
vents him from being good for more
than an hour at a time. The head Is
of abnormal shape, the skull coming
to point. The ears are small and
protruding, and the eyes are as sharp
as ferret's.
Tests made few days ago showed
that the boy had no sense of right or
wrong. This Is attributed to an alb
normal brain growth. AS result OF
the operation, which includes the cut
ting out of certain parts of the brain,
1t is expected to relieve the boy of his
wicked tendencies and transform him
into model youth.
Scientific surgery is gradually solv-
ing the problem of making us over
piecemeal. Raymond Moore, aged 20,
of Baltimore, lost the sixth and sew
enth ribs on the right side. DR.. Ham
ilton Brown replaced them with ar
tificial ribs of hard rubber tubing.
BY an operation at Fordham Hos.
pital. Joseph Reicher was supplied
with silver windpipe to replace the
original, which had been damaged be-
yond repair by q hard fall.
DIR. Kaintsky, the famous Russian
surgeon, recently astonished the medi-
cal world by furnishing man with
artificial arteries. The operation took
place in DIR. Kaintsky's private lab
oratory at st. Petersburg. The pa
tient, very rich farmer and cattle
raiser, Ivan Poitinkask by name, had
collided violently with stump while
driving In a sleigh. He was hurled
out and impaled upon broken branch.
The jagged piece Of wood struck him
below the hip joint and ranged down
for about four inches. The wound
was an exceedingly ugly one. It was
directly over and in line with the fe-
moral artery, which supplies the en-
tire leg with blood. DR.. Kaintsky
saved Poitinkask's life by removing
the injured part of the femoral artery
and replacing 1t with an artificial one.

AMENDMENT NO. 3 DECLARED VOID The Governor No Longer Has Power to Fill Vacancies in
 Office by Appointment

Speaking through Chief Justice Joseph NJ. Hill, the Supreme court of Arkansas has declared void amendment No. 3 to the con- stitution of the state.
 The court of final resort thus affrms the decision of Circuit Judge A. B. Grace, before whom the proceedings were brought in Lincoln county to test the validity of this amendment, which empow- cred the governor to fill vacancies in public offices by appointment.
 The vital question was whether the amendment Is properly 8 part of the constitution, not having re- ceived a majority of the votes cast in the election, although 1t re- ceived majority of those cast on this particular question.
 The decision furnishes a preced- ent under which two other amend ments to the constitution may be declared null and void when they are brought before the courts for decision.
 The other amendments which will be affected by the decision are, amendmendment No. ,, mak- ing 1t necessary for @ voter to have poll tax receipt, and amend ment No. ', providing that the members of the General Assembly shall receive such pay and mile- age as may be fixed by law.
 The poll tax amendment has al ready been declared invalid by Judge Jacob Trieber of the feder- al court, but his decision could have DO effect upon the state elec- tions, and the amendment will re- main in force until it is declared invalid by the state supreme court.
 EFFECT OF THE DECISION
 The Gazette says that the action of the supreme court has given  rise to much speculation around the state capital as to the effect on those now holding office under ap- pointment from the governor. It is agreed that the official acts of these appointees up to the present time, will be valid, and the only question Is regarded to be their status in the future.
 Attorney General Rogers holds that the appointees will remain in office until some steps are taken to remove them, regardless of the decision of the court, and that their acts will be valid.
