ROAD DENIED WOODRUFF.
Whpple Refuses application for
One Across State Land.

Albany April Thames s. Whipple. State
Forest Fish and Game Commissioner. an
nounced to-day that he had denied the applica-
tion of ex-Lieutenant Governor Timothy L.
Woodruff for the opening of a highway across
state land 10 permit access TO Mr.. WOodrun's
property in Township T. Totten and Crossheld
Purchase, Hamilton Cunty, near RacqUette
Lake where Kamp Kill Kare is situated.
A first application made by Mr.. Woodruff on
the ground of public necessity was denied on
the ground that Mr.. Woodruff had access 10 his
property through another highway
The second application was based on an old
statute under which five acres in every hundred
sold were to be reserved for highway purposes.
Commissioner WhippIe holds that it is not at all
clear what the intention OF the Legislature was
in reserving five acres i'm every hundred or how
the land should be used; that If there was ever
n legal reservation for highways 1t has lapsed
bv non-use; that the state has acquired title TO
the land disposed of when the reservation was
made and the reservation Is merged in the gen.
eral title of the state. and Is as though II was
never made: and that in any case IT could not
be used for private road
The question has never been settled by the
conrts and the order Of the commissioner will
undoubtedly be reviewed

NEW BONE IN BOYS ARM.
Surgeons of st. Gregory's Hospital
Perform Rare Operation.

The surgeons of st. Gregory's Hospital per-
formed an operation yesterday on a six-year- old
Italian boy, Peter Lepari. OF No. 6s Van Brunt
street, Brooklyn. by which they replaced a pOr-
ton of necrotic bone of the left forearm with
a substance known as "bone wax" which Will
in time. the surgeons say. turn into bone The
entire staff of the hospital was present.
The surgeons said that the operation was one
of the first of it's kind in this country. Pro-
fessor Joseph Forbes, of the Flower Hospital.
and DR.. c. H. Duncan, chief house surgeon OF
St Gregory's Hospital. who performed the oper-
alton. assisted by Drs. David and Payne. said
that without doubt it will be a success.
when the boy was brought to the hospital"
DR. Duncan said. 'it was found that he was
suffering from a tuberculsr bone in the fore
arm Decomposition had set in. To prevent
the loss of the use Of the arm and the complete
removal of the bone. we decided to bring the
bone wax into use. An X-ray will be used
daily to watch the progress of healing
Heretofore" continued DIR. Duncan. ''in cases
OF this kind where the bone is excised. the
limb becomes useless. 'Bone wax was dscov-
cred by a German scientist ten years ago. and
has been used in Vienna The bone wax which
was put into the boys arm was moulded in the
shape Of the cavity fUOm which the necrotic
bone had been removed. New vessels and bono
tissues will soon form. and the chemical sub
stance will gradually disappear. leaving the
arm in its normal condition.
AN operation OF this character" DR.. Duncan
said, lis interesting because Of its innovation
and utility. II has been demonstrated beyond
doubt that healing can be brought about in
places where tissues in mass have been de-
stroyed and a cavity exists. Cavities have been
filed with various substances. provided the
wound is sterile and new formation Of tissue
has been the result. New vessels will push their
way into the material: new connective tissue
hbres will pierce il, till finally the foreign sub
stance has been completely absorbed. and the
place II occupied is filled with animal tissue.
Or Moorhof OF Vienna, who discovered the
'bone-wax' found that where II was used in
the case OF complete loss of heel bone new heel
bone was formed. which has been demonstrated
positively by the N-ray.
.X-ray pictures Of the bone In the boys arm
have been recorded. and when healing is over
new photographs Will be taken. We have every
reason 10 believe that in this selected case our
endeavcrs TO form a new bone will be success
full"

WHALES AS RAMS.
Cases Where These Marine Monsters
| Have Attacked Vessels

Have Attacked Vessels.
While cruising in the south seas the
whaler Essex on Nov. 90, 1920. was fu-
riously attacked by COW sperm whale

calf which had just been harpooned.
The whale had not been wounded her.
self, and her attack was very deter
mined. At her first rush she passed
under the Essex and carried away a
great length of her false keel. Then,
coming to the surface a considerable
distance away, she appeared to take
bearings and deliberately charged the
vessel again, ramming her with such
violence that she stove in the bows,
while the ship rolled 50 heavily that
the captain thought she must be dis
mantled. The case is memorable be-
cause the crew had to abandon the
vessel. and one boat was never heard
of again.
A more singular instance of whale
attacking vessel occurred in 1895.
The singuIarity lies in the fact that in
the case Of the Handa Isle the attack
was entirely unprovoked. This vessel,
brigantine of 260 tons, was on heI
way to Sydney with cargo of timber.
On Aug. "a. about noon, a couple of
sperm whales rose very close to the
vessel and, while the crew watched
them sporting" across her bows, the
pair suddenly slued around and came
straight for her. One thought better
of it and diyed below the Handa Isle.
The other struck her fair and square
on the beam, crushing in her timbers.
Having rammed the ship in this reso-
lutte fashion it sheered off, terribly
damaged about the head, and present
ly sank tail first.
Fortunately there were some pack

crew were able to keep the vessel
