PUTS VITAL ORGANS OF
 BEASTS INTO HUMANS
Remarkable Work of Dr. Carrei. Ol Rockefeller Institute, Watched
 By AN Medical Men.

markable achievements of Dr. Alexis 1 Carrel, of the Rockefeller Inst tute in New York, writer ill the January Hampton's Magazine says:
 .'The young surgeon-for he is on ] ly thirty-seven-does not claim that he has succeeded in the creation of living tissues by the use of the scalp el, but he has succeeded ia taHiHa living tissue, even ta1 organs, froIl one animal, and causing them to grow and fuHcJi ionatc in other aa,- mals of the same species. Nore tbau this, he has removed glands, cart latge, bone and ethcr tissues from I've animals, and kept it alive and growing for weeks, though removed from any living organism whatever. In this manner the processes of growth can be watched constantly, for placed in plasma of nutritive matter from the animal, and sealed in a glass slide kept constantly at a heat of 9S degrees microscope of the same temperature furnishes the means of watching the tissue.
 within a day or two slight granu cut edges of cartilage, or whatever tissue is used, and soon small spindle shaped or polygonal cells are seen to form If the tissue be taken from a young animal, 'ts rate of growth is much slower. But it is found by Dr. Carrel that old tissue placed in a plasma Of nutritive matter from a yourg animal will grow as swiftly as younger tissue.
 Eff tissue will thus live and grow
 in the body Of another, f it will live and grow away from any animal or ganism whatever, it would seem that tDr. Carrel might construct a new and . ers-a possibility so amazing that it is unbelievable, and yet in the light of Dr. Carrel's experiments, merely a matter c,r deftness and skill, not at all of deep study. The theory is all worked out.
 But with the construct on of srrgi- cal Franke steins the doctor is little concerned Hie experiments orc nim- cd mainly to aid Tn the cure or pre- yention of disease. If he has trans- planted tho kidneys of dog to dn- other dog, 1t is to prove that such thing might be done with human or { eal 'ums, and if he succeeds, as seems 1 likely, in replacing the heart of ons animal with that of another, 1t 1s , only to make such 'an operation pos , sible in the case of mortale. ''His discovery of successful and 2 satisfactory method for the transla- ton of blood-an operation frequent in cases of anaemia-was made through constant experiment with an- imals, and his present study of cul- lures of cancer taken from chickens promises to lead to cure for tha' : maligant disease. He has learned that in the process of growth, tissue scrap ed by the surgeons knife will take , on different characterized cs than those = of the smoothly cut tissue; he has r found that bodily tissue will adapt 2 itself to conditions of transplantatior that veins, grafted on arteres. al
 once set to work thickening thell walls in order to carry the supply o
 red blood, and that an entire anato
 mic section may be taken out or on'
 animal and life given back to 1t II . another organism.
 e ''To the objection that transplan c tation would be impossible in humat l. beings because Of lack of subject : from whom the organs needed are t( 3 be taken, Dr. Carrel answers tha : they might come from the bodles O f men killed in accidents, from thost
 of condemned criminals, or iron
 amputated arms or legs. The tissues
 or organs thus taken could be kep
 ready-as the doctor has alread!
 proved-for weeks.
 "Dr. Carrel's work has turned th' l. eyes of the medical and of the la! q world as we'll upon himself and ths l. Rockefeller Institute. If his experl q ments bring about what he has ev e cry reason to expect, they will make
