ARTIFICIAL EYEBALL OF GOLD
cult Performance Known to
the Profession.

Gold, for the first time in the his
tory of ocular science, has been sub.
stituted for the natural jellylike sub
stance in which an artificial eye is
ordinarily set. In an operation at the
Jefferson hospital at Philadelphia
gold was used to form the eyeball,
with the result that the glass eye
has all the appearance Of real eye.
The fixed and stony stare which fol-
lows the insertion of glass eye is
replaced by the life and light asso-
ciated with the sparkling eye of ma
ture. This surgical feat, one of the
most difficult of performance known
to the practise, is considered by spe-
cialists as unique in the annals of
marvellous operations.
William Senseman, a fifteen-year-
old boy of Buffalo, is the person who
is now carrying gold in his eye with
the same composure as he might car
~ that precious metal in his teeth.
Ten days ago he was playing in
the basement of his home. With a
Ratchet he struck the concrete floor
ing. The cement was shattered and
one of the bits few into his eye. The
tiny bit of cement panied his eye for
time, but as the pain soon vanished,
the boy and his parents thought that
the particle had been naturally dis
lodged.
Unfortunately, the sight of that eye
grew fainter and fainter. Then one
day the boy realized that blindness,
total blindness, had set in.
The boy and his parents came to
the Jefferson hospital. The X-ray
failed to locate the particle. Mathe-
NAUTICAL methods were then employed,
and the exact position Of the bit of
cement was determined.
| Then an incision was made, so that
the magnet could be used to draw It
out. But the magnet had no attrac.
ton for the cement and that plan
failed. Blood poisoning was feared,
and it was necessary to remove the
whole eye.
To this the boy and his parents oh.
jected on the ground that a glass
eye was 80 conspicuous. Thereupon
the surgeons were inspired to at,
tempt the daring operation by which
the golden eyeball was set In the
empty socket. Then the glass eye,
or pupil. was fitted carefully into
the golden ball.
The trained observation of the spe.
cialist would be required to detect the
real from the false eye.

Made Him Ridiculous,

Joseph Letter, in an interview on
his yacht Chantecler, said, with a
smile:
please quote me accurately. In an
interview, you know, the slightest in
accuracy can make man ridiculous.
1t is like the Frenchman, who thought
he had very fair knowledge of Eng
lish, nevertheless, said to a father:
"'Aha! Your son, he resemble you.

Jere L. Sullivan, the head Of the
Hotel and Restaurant Employees In

Our American hotels are better
than they used to be, and for this bet
terment my organization deserves no
little credit.
1--WE have today no such hotels as
the One Horse of Tin Can, where, if
you asked for bath, they used to
give you shovel and tell you to go
down to the hollow and dam the
creek.
"An English earl once visited the
One Horse hotel. The landlord with
out ceremony led him outside, pointed
to window on the fifth floor, and
