LOSES NINE RIBS-LlvES.

To have nine ribs cut out of his
chest and be alive and we'll after the
operation was the unique experience
of Charles Russell of Philadelphia.
One day recently Russell got bull
let in his lung. Three of his ribs
were shattered and the air entered
the cavity, rendering his breathing
difficult. Being unable to patch up
the ribs, the hospital surgeons re-
moved nine of them, leaving only the
two covering the upper portion of the
heart and the lower floating rib. The
wound was then sewed up tightly,
leaving no cavity for the air to lodge
in. Russell responded nicely to the
treatment, and is likely to live a long
time yet.

stantly stripped of it's massive layers
of bark by souvenir hunters. but its
hardness is apparently in no way in
jured by such treatment.
The cork tree grows abundantly in
Spain, Portugal and Italy. and its life
on an average is $50 years. It's many
uses appear not to have been recog-
nized to any extent until the fifteenth
century, though life preservers of this
material are mentioned by Plutarch in
his life of Camillus. The art of cork
cutting is. excelled in by the French,
who begin annual operations on tree

Is years old. In addition to its prin.
cipal use, the manufacture Of shoppers
for vessels containing liquids, life pre-
servers and Spanish black, made from
burnt parings of cork. are practically
the only uses to which the product OF
the tree is put.

NEW YORK, July PA consign-
ment of 200 hats of the. new style for
women arrived from Paris today on
the steamship Kronprinz Wilhelm. The
new hats are tall and made of fur of
all kinds and bear some resemblance
to military shakos. The New York
milliner who brought them over says
the new fashion is becoming the rage
in Paris, and that this latest style will
probably do away with the wide
spreading headgear which women now
wear.
These hats, which are called Rus
sian toques. and which would suit
Cossack soldiers or French grenadiers,
rise foot and a half above the head
and are topped with aigrettes. The
spreading coiffures that accompany
the big hats now generally worn are
done away with by the new fashion.
To wear these toques the women must
comb their hair upward and secure it
at the top of the head, as they fit
the head snugly, coming down close
to the eyebrows and ears, and half
covering the neck. The recent cold
weather in Paris has favored the
wearing of this headgear These hats
