see the world through tho eyes of a rab-
bit. BY one OF the most delicate skin
grating operations known to modern
surgery Heinard has had fastened upon
the sightless balls OF his eyes, scared by
burning lye. the transparent cornea from
the eyes of n Belgian hare. sight is
promised him again, after more than
year of total blindness.
Late at night on April 16, 1904, Mr.. Helm
ard prosperous dealer IN the Eastern
Market, was attacked while on his way
home by negro whom he had formerly
employed His assailant dashed strong
solution of I've in his face. Mr.. Heinard
was badly burned and hospital surgeons
declared his sight entirely gone. Specialist
after specialist was consulted, only to re-
port the case apparently hopeless. Finally
one declared there was but one possible
operation, and the success of that could
not be promised. This was that the .cornea
from the eyes Of Il Belgian hare be graft
cd on to the balls of MIR. Heinard's eyes.
The injured man decided that his condl-
tion could not be worse, and 1t was de-
termined he should go under the sur
geon's knife.
While the patient was being prepared
for the operation q rabbitry was estab-
lished In one corner of the hospital
grounds, and In it u specially selected
breed of Belgian hares was installed.
On the day appointed the selected rab-
bit and the man were placed side by. side
ON, the operating table. both under the
influence of anesthetics. and, section by
section. the gossamer-likc cornea from
each eye of the hare was lifted and
.planted' over the sightIess eyeballs of
the man. He lay in darkened room
until 1t was determined that the healing
process had set in and that the first
stage OF the operation was n success.
Mr.. Heinard was allowed to go to his
home. the only instructions being that he
should rest until it was assured that the
new eyes" were as his own. He is to
ro TO the hospital tomorrow to again go
under the knife, but this time the opera
tion Will consist of merely scraplng the
serratcd edges and delicately manipulate
ing the artificial membrane to secure the
required convex or concave oval.
Adjustment of probably powerful
.lasses TO meet the altered conditions
will follow-and then Mr.. Heinard Is
practically assured of vsion--through
the eyes of ribbit, but none the less
vision.

and left unconscious with his playmate, Israel
Slamberg in a strange house in 127th street.
The boy is eleven years old, and lives at NO.
1885 Seventh avenue. Last night apparently in
a dazed condition. he returned home, after being
missing eight hours. Immediately after telling
the story the boy sank to the floor unconscious.
The Slamberg boy is the same age and lives at
No. 80 West 112th street.

offered US five cents if we would carry it for
him to 127th street. We went with him. He took
us to fathouse between Second and Third ave-
nues. We went to the second floor. He gave
something to drink. We didn't know any
thing more until we woke up. It dark I

then we tried to get out Of the room. The door

THE sULTAN's TARDy SUBMISSION
Much Pressure Needed TO Force Acceptance
Of British Demands.

Constantnople. May 15.-The sultans COM
plete submission to the Anglo Egyptian de-
mands was given only few hours after the
not till noon Monday that Ambassador 0Conor
was able TO inform the British government that
its demands were completely accepted The
word 'delimitation," which the Sultan eonsid-
cred implied the existence of a frontier. where
as he maintains that Egypt is part Of Turkey
nearly wrecked the negotiations. Numerous
notes with the necessary trades were drawn up
on Sunday evening and communicated TO the
British Embassy. only TO be rejected and re-
turned to the Turkish government. Shortly be-
fore the time limit set by the ultimatum' the
British Ambassador brought matters to a cIi-
max by personal visits TO Tewhk Pacha. the
Foreign Minister, and to the Grand Vizier, TO
whom he impaired the intentions Of the British
government in case of noncompliance ana
brought the Turkish government to realization
OF its perious position. In view of the assur-
ances of these ministers. the ambassador con-
aented to twelve hours further grace In the
early hours Of Monday special meeting Of the
Council OF Ministers summoned at the Hil-
dlZ Palace. and the Sultan consented to the ac~
ceptance of all OF the British demands. The ar
rival at Constantinople of the British service
vessel the TTnogene. doubtless helped to con-
vince the Turkish government, as 1t was pre-
sumed she came to take away the ambassador.
Diplomatic circles consider that Great Britain
has gained a great point in the fact that the
Turkish notes constitute Turkeys first recOgni-
ton of Great Britain's position as the protector
of Egypt.
Colonels MuzafEer Bey and Fehmi Bey have
been appointed commissioners for Turkey to de-
limit the frontier.
