Restored to Nationality.
At Stamford, Conn.,, unique opera
ton on the skull of the two-year-old
son of Michael Gunther has given the
boy nationality. The child was born
with normal mental and physical en-
dowments and began to show, when
a year old, signs of general deficiency
in all his senses. 1t was finally deter
mined by the surgeons interested in
the case to explore the childs skull.
Dr. J. T. Higgins, of New York, as
sisted by Drs Whitehorn and Hogan,
of New York, and Howell and Loeb,
of Stamford, performed the operation
at Stamford Hospital few months
ago. They removed a strip of bone
from the skull three inches long and
one-half inch wide, to give the brain a
chance to grow. Immediately on re-
covering from the anaesthesia, look
of normal intelligence showed in the
child's eyes, proving the theory of the
doctors that the skull had been press
ing unduly on the brain. With the
pressure relieved, the brain was free
to exert ITSELF The doctors believe
the boy will soon be able to talk and
act as nationally as the brightest of
his little playmates.
DR.. Guthrie and Dr. Carroll, of the
University of Chicago, have been max

which are Of service to the economy,
either by supplying a need or by de-
stroying other substances which are
needless or positively harmful. This
last function is usually prescribed to
the thyroid and parathyroid glands.
1T is obvious that, in the broadcast
sense of the expression, all tissues
and organs of the body may be said
to have an internal secretion. e.,
the blood which leaves by their veins
contains different chemical substances
from that which enters by their ar
teries
"The most usually quoted example,
however, of a gland which has both
an external and an internal secretion
is the pancreas. A relation between
diseases of the pancreas and diabetes
has long been suspected, but Minkow-
ski and Mehring first definitely
showed that complete removal, of the
pancreas in the dog, cat and pig is
followed by diabetes, having the usual
symptoms of that disease in man.
That this is caused by the absence of
an internal secretion is proved by the
fact that it does not occur if the gland
be left in stu and the duct tied, nor
does it occur if portion of the pan
creas be grated in some situation re-
mote from its normal position. How
the internal secretion of the pancreas
normally prevents glycosuria is not
clear. We can only say that it exerts
some influence upon the carbohydrate
metabolism, either by favoring the
formation of glycogen in the liver
portal vein or by furthering the oxida-
ton of dextrose in the tissues gener-

The middle of the eclipse will take

the total phase will pass at 2;46,
Two hours is about the longest time
the moon can be totally eollpsed by
the shadow of earth.
Tonight the moon rises at $3.50 D. M,
at about the twelfth degree of the
constellation of Cancer. Three min
utes after II, midnight, the moon
passes the meridian and seems to be
almost centering over this section of
the country. From the time the moon
enters the penumbra and leaves the
shadow on the other side it will have
passed through about twelve degrees
of space. At no time will the moon
be entirely hidden from the view of
those who are fortunate enough to
have a clear sky above them. During
The darkest shadow it will appear like
a disc of dull copper, and even with a
small glass one may view the noun
tains and valleys of the orb to good
advantage.
There can be no eclipse of the moon
except when it is at or near the node.
This eclipse takes place when the
moon is in the ascending node.
All the above relates to the astro-
nominal interest attending a lunar
eclipse. Aside from this there are
speculations, more or less, relating to
the supposed influences the heavenly
bodies have upon humanity according
to the relative positions the planets
hold at the hour of each human BIRTH

DENMARK'S
NEXT KING.
INTERESTING FACTS REGARDING
PRINCE CHRISTIAN.

COPENHAGEN, Feb. 7.-Since the
death of King Christian TX, much
public attention has been attracted
to the new crown prince, Prince
Christian His father, King Freder.
ick VIII, is sixty-two years old, and in
the natural course of events Prince
Christian is destined to ascend the
Danish throne some day as King
Christian X.
Prince Christian rs thirty-six years
old, He is a. stalwart Dane, second
only in stature to his cousin, the
giant Prince George of Greece. He
is superb horseman, an all around
sport, and a fine soldier. He passed
through the Danish Life Guards as a
private, and received his secular edu-
cation at the University of Copen-
hagen. He enjoys great popularity
throughout the kingdom.
In 1898 Prince Christian was mar.
ried to the Duchess Alexandrine, OF
Mecklenburg Schwerin, whose father
was one of the richest of the princes
of Germany. She is q very handsome
woman and highly cultured, Her ed
ucation was personally supervised by
her accomplished mother, with the re-
suit that she is intellectually fit to be
the consort of a future king. She is
a sharer in her husbands love of
sport and is very fond of out-of-dool
exercise.
