Seattle, Wash.-The strange case Of
the lost identity of 8. Chandler Rogers

parallel in that of Bernard Marvin. a
graduate engineer of the University Of

Mr.. Marvin, as a tramp, applied to

Of Eugene, Ore, for food and lodging.
He did not recognize her. but she
recognized in him her long missing
son. Bernard Marvin. He insisted that
his mother was dead. Mrs. Iceberg
proved the tramp to be her son by
birth marks found on his arms and

caught by the authorities, and is now
in a hospital for observation.

Surgeons OF North America, was that
conducted In the Methodist Episco-
pal hospital by DR.. l.. j. Hammond,
chief Of staff Of the hospital, and a
member Of the faculty Of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania.
Three difficult operations. each in
gerry that by most Of the visiting sur

embryonic and experimental stage,
were the work Of the noted Philadel-
phia surgeon. Like his recent clinic

From the moment he made an in
cision into a mans back to remove
a diseased kidney until he completed
the three operations the drop of a
pin could have been heard in the
great am%phitheater of the hospital.

veins, arteries and other ducts and

1t is shown by the Investigations

elevation going on there, which, by
lifting the reefs gradually above the
waves, preserves them from erosion

certain animal forms of a terrestrial

the atolls were formed by the grad

that the coral insects built up encir-

Recent reports show that the eleva-
ton of the islands Is a general phe-
nomenon, but variable in amount,
some islands rising rapidly and others
very slowly.
Both the flora and the fauna of these
islands are confined to a very few
species, although, seer from a dis
