RABBITS EYE IN MANS HEAD
Remarkable Series of Operations Are
Now Being Performed on Wilton
Heinard's SightIess Optics.

Wilton Heinard, on whose sightless
eyes surgeons are trying to graft the
transparent cornea of the eyes of
rabbit, is doomed to long months of
suspense before he will know whether
or not he is to see again.
Two operations have already been
performed by the surgeons of the Epis-
copal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital,
in Washinton, on Heinard's eyes, the
sight of which was destroyed two years
ago by a negro highwayman, who
threw the contents of can of cOncen-
trated I've in his face. He will under
90 another operation tomorrow and
another few weeks later.
Heinard's eyes were terribly injured
by the action of the I've. The lids were
burned away, together with the outer
part of the eyeballs. The lids grew to
the eyeballs, and Heinard was unable
to move either his eyes or the lids.
This caused him excruciating pain.
The first operation performed by the
surgeons was to remove the conjunc-
tive membranes from the eyes of rab-
bits and transfer them to the lids of
Heinard's. This made a new mem
brane lining for the lids of Heinard's
ewes. The rabbit membranes were
sewed under the lids with web-like
sutures, and Heinard was put in the
dark room for five weeks.
At the expiration of this time he
was taken to the hospital and upon
examination it was found that the OPP
Grafton had been successful in every
particular. Heinard could wink his
ewes, and the movement of his eyeballs
was natural. Even the surgeons them
selves were surprised at the flow of
lubricatng fluid over the artificial lin
ing to the lids.
The second operation merely con-
sisted of trimming up and adjusting
the membranes to the lids. The real
operation-the one upon which de-
ponds Heinard'S hope of Sights to
be performed at the hospital tomOr-
row. 1t will consist of removing from
the eyes of a rabbit a mite OF trans
parent cornea-hardly one-sixteenth
of an inch square-and its transplant
inc to the eyes of Heinard.
The operation is admitted by the
surgeons to be an experiment, and
they say it will be the first time in the
history of surgery that it has ever
been performed. 1t is expected that
through this little bit of cornea Helm
ard, with the aid of strong glasses,
will be able to see. The surgeons do
not expect that he will be able to see
as we'll as he ever did, but they do be-
lieye the operation will result in Helm
ard recovering his sight to an extent
sufficient for him to be able to get
about by himself and to transact his
business.

sEEDLEss FRUIT a FREAK.
A Genuine Orchardist Has No Use For
Its Says n. L. Hansen.

"Seedless oranges and SeedleSs ap-
pies are freaks, fruit deformities that
the genuine orchardist has no use for"
said Professor n. e. Hansen of South
Dakota Agricultural college at Brook
tngS, who was at the Coates House in
Kansas City the other night, says the
Kansas City Star. "Of course in the
way of working for legitimate varie-
ties every grower can be his own Bur
bank, but no one is looking much for
crippled specimens. We will get seed
less fruits some day, but nature will
produce them for us. Agricultural sci
entists are contented to wait for that.
In the meantime we have found that
the laws of heredity have a very great
influence on the growth and quality of
fruits. Environment is found to play
a large part in the quality of fruits.
"Even the apple has a moral cnarac-
ter that can be corrupted by associat-
ing with loose or common companions.
It's becoming q case with them, too,
of show me your companions and III
tell you what you are.
PROFESSOR hansen, WHO cdue W h0A-
sas City to lecture before the Horticul-
tural society, has been a great traveller.
He went through Tashkent, in central
Asia, to find a species of alfalfa that
would grow in the cold northern states,
went to Japan to study rice growing
and to the far interior of China for
the primitive peach. He spent ten
months there, travelling 1900 miles in
wagons and 700 miles i'll sledges
Professor Hansen's foreign travels
were undertaken for the department OF
agriculture.

THE FOUR "GREATEST" MEN
Yankee Freak Includes Booker and
Teddy in the Number, the Former
Coming First.
From the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
The Incorporate praise of Booker
Washington has brought results which
some of those who have INDUCED in it
will not warmly appreciate. For ex-
ample, DR.. Albert Winship, of Boston,
who is said to be the editor of the
New England Journal of Education, is
quoted as saying that there are four
really great men in the United States,
and tbs four are-but let us give his
own words:
First of all, +" he said, II place
Booker T. Washington: second l
place Jacob Riis, and third I believe
/ must put Theodore Roosevelt.
Fourth | place Judge Rep Lindsey of
Denver, because of his great work of
reforming the youth of this country"
How does Mr.. Roosevelt like to
have his friend Jacob and his friend
Booker put above him in this most
abrupt and unkind manner? And
where does Secretary Root come in?
For the latter, according to MIR.
Roosevelt, is the greatest man (present
company excepted) in the civilized
world today. The Boston mans cat
alogue of the greatest" men shows
that extravaganza laudations are some
times taken seriously and to the dam
age of him who gushes them forth.
This amusing pronOuncement seems
to annoy the New Orleans Picayune,
which tartly observes, in reference to
the "worshippers OF negroes in New
England: fortunately, their power
for evil no longer exists. The fact that
negroes are the subject of admiration
and interest in the Northern states
is operating to induce them to emigrate
to a part of the country where they
are held in such high repute and are
esteemed before the whites. The as
piration to attain to social equality
with the whites is powerful motor to
drive them to any region where
their hopes and ambitions can be
realized, and will assist in the
solution of what is called the
race problem by dispensing and
distributing great numbers of them
through most of the northern states.
Demands for cheap labor in the
north and the struggle by the negroes
to 90 where they can enjoy social and
political equality with the whites are
the factors which will settle this ques-
ton" Perhaps. we might add, 1t
may "settle" it for the south, but I'M
settle it for the rest of the country.

rying peltries to The agency warehouse
and the daughter of the homestead"
opening small storeroom designed
for use of the Indians in storing their
personal effects. This was drawn be-
tween 1919 and 1924.
Between 1880 and 1885 the home
stead of huge white oak timberS, COW
cred with siding, presented quite a
showing 1t was pretentious mansion
in the eyes Of the early settlers, and
it's outbuildings were constructed so
substantially of logs that they are in
an excellent state of preservation to-
day. Miss Frances Rose Howe is in
terested in taking care of the place, as
it is a valuable feature in the early
history of Indiana.
In 1S41 Rose Bailly was married to
Francis Howe Of New Haven, Conn,
in the old homestead, and the armorial
bearings Of the Bailly and Howe fami-
lies have been used as a decoration on
the tiles.
The conventional patterns employed
by Mrs. Lockwood in her scheme are
very simple and fitting as a back
ground to the story which runs through
the tiles. The colors, old Hue on
white, keep alive the antique feeling,
and the design has been carried out
most successfully.

PITTS HISTORY ON A MANTEL
Novel Memorial TO Be Placed
In Indiana Homestead.

views Illustrating the Early Career
os the BaiIly Family In Porter
County Are the Work of n Chicago
Uomun - old Blue ON White the
Colors Used.
Mrs Margaret ScammOn Lockwood
# Chicago recently has completed d
,,ar1orfal manteIpiece which is to be
nIaced in the historic Bailly homestead
IN Porter county, Ind, says the Chi
cora Post. The mantelpiece consists of
sivrv-four painted tiles in blue and
white filling OFT Il la~ical design with
historic sketches, supported by deco
rotfye drawing, Illustrating the early
career of the Bailly family in the Unit
ed States.
Several years ago Mrs. Lockwood
was gjyen the commission by Miss
Frances Rose Howe, granddaughter of
the founder of the Bailly homestead,
N Joseph BaiIly de Messeiu, who came
from Quebec in the early years of last
century and established a fur trading
post for the American Fur Trading
company of the northwest in Indiana.
The old BailIy homestead, two and
one-half stories high, is built of i'm
mense oak logs. These are now sheath
ed. giving it the appearance of sub
stantiaI frame house The mantel will
be placed in the fireplace in the room
to the right of the wide hall wherein
General Cass and man. heroes of In
dian DAVIS were entertained with royal
hospitality.
1t is interesting to follow the series
of sketches used by Mrs. Lockwood in
constructing the memorial. The views
of Quebec are reproduced from quaint
etchings made by friends who used to
come as guests. One Of the etchings
is by General Cass. NJ. and Nine.
Bailly are remembered In history for
their services in preserving peace be-
tween the settlers and the Indians and
in helping pioneers and travel worn
immigrants over many hard places.
1t was in 1924 that the Bailly home
stead was founded as a station of the
American Fur Trading company and,
as the quaint old documents state, lin
the interest of Christianity and civiliza-
tom and became the headquarters OF
the Roman Catholic missions in north
ern Indiana and Illinois.
The first historic tile gives view Of
the port of Quebec, birthplace Of Joseph
Bailly de Messeiu, the founder. A sec
ond title shows NJ Bailly reading Scrip
ture lessons for the instruction Of his
family and Christianized Indians ltv-
ing in the surrounding forests. To the
left is typical drawing Of the home
stead and TO the right a design from
the seal of the American Fur Trading
company.
Another tile presents a general view
of the trading post in 1880, taken from
a northeast point, as described in wa
ter color sketch of the period. From
second water color sketch is a south
east view, painted at the same time. A
pen and ink sketch of hermitage and
picture Of Il bridge over the Calumet
river as it was in 1929 also are shown.
A typical scene of the pioneer days
IS shown in Il picture of Indians car
