Miss Moses, a Nurse, Has Every In
ternaI Organ on Side Opposite
to Usual Location.

Philadelphia.-The mixed anatomy
of Alexander Jordan, whose heart,
spleen, liver and stomach are reversed,
according to the standard set in the
construction, is paralleled in the case
of Miss Anna A. Moses, a trained
nurse Of Osterburg, Bedford county,
Pa. Miss Moses not only possesses
all of the transpositions boasted by
Jordan, but was treated for appendi-
citis six years ago by applications on
the left side Of her abdomen.
She presents a complete case of
"situs inversus," every organ Of her
body being on the side opposite to
where it is usually found
Miss Moses writes with her right
hand, but says in learning to do so in
childhood. before her mixed anatomy
was known, she seemed to be conquer
ing protesting tendency to lefthand-
edness which would be the effect of an
inherited righthandedness from both
of her parents.
She discovered that her heart was
on the right side, or rather the wrong
side, while studying to be a trained
nurse, in 1898, but did not suspect
that the reversal was complete, and,
as she suffered not even the slightest
illness, was not examined by pay
sician until 1904.
Then she began to feel pains in the
lower part of her abdomen on the left

Office of the Commissioners of Inland
Fisheries and Game. Thousands Of
dollars worth of damage has been
done to the crops and in some places
whole cornfelds have been completely
destroyed. Farmers are flooding the
Office of Chairman Bracket of the
Fish and Game Commission with pc
titions asking for protectios
Two years ago state law was
passed making it illegal to hunt and
kill gray squirrels. AS a result the
suuCrels have multiplied rapidly and
have become tame and destructive.
Until the special law was passed gray
souirrels were classed as game ami
meIs" and each fall were hunted by
the gunners. The farmers who two
years ago petitioned the legislature to
pass a law to protect the little pets"
now have their dander up and declare
they want every one Of the "pesky
things" killed on In some instances
the farmers have defied the law and
with loaded guns have watched their
ccrnfields from early day until late
al night
The Commissioners Of Inland Fish

everything in their power to have the
law repealed at the next session of

METHOD OF TICKLING TURTLE
Boston Han Will Use Newspaper Edi-
torisi to Prove He Was Not
Cruel to Animals.

F.-Maximilian Fischer, pro
prietor yf a grill in Federal street.
proudly exhibited a 1OO-pound turtle
in the window of his restaurant two
months ago. Max was Immediately
hailed into court and was fined S25
for cruelty to animals in keeping one
Florida turtle on his back.
Max protested vehemently that the
only way to keep a turtle in safety
and know where he is when you want
him is to keep him on his back. He
maintained that the turtle wasn't
hurt in person or dignity and didn't
care a snap whether he was on his
head or his heels. Max's plea was in
vain. He appealed the s25 fine.
Now the Florida Times in a lengthy
editorial says that Max was perfectly
humane in placing the turtle on his
back and that the animal itself was
rather pleased over such treatment
than hurt.
Fischer has sent for a copy OF the
Times. and will submit the editorial
when his case comes up on appeal as
Exhibit B." Exhibit A" has gone
the way of all good turtles.
