TUMOR CUT FROM BRAIN.
X Ray Used to Guide Surgeons
ScaIpeI During Operation.

X Ray Used to Guide Surgeons
Scalpel During Operation.
Mrs Charles Loomis of Bluef1eld
w. Va, has been successfully operat-
ed on by DR.. Harvey Gushing in the
Johns Hopkins hospital for tumor of
the brain. The case is the second
one on record the world over from
which the patient has recovered, the
other successful operation having
been performed in Chicago years
ago.
Never before, it is said, has an OPP
GRAFTON so difficult as that performed
on Mrs. LOOMS been attempted. To
reach the tUmor, which was under
the brain, DIR. Cushing was COMPEL
ed to cut through the nose and the
side of the head, using the X ray to
guide him. Two operations were re
quired.
The operation is one of the most
dangerous in surgery, for, while the
patient is on the table, which in the
case of Mrs. LOOMS, was over five
hours on each occasion, the slightest
false move on the part of the sur
geon would have brought the instru-
ment in contact with the brain, caus-
ing instant death.

NEW YORK.-The progress in the
science of aviation during the year
now drawing to a close has been
costly in human life. Beginning
with the death of Lieut.. Thomas E.
Selfridge, the first person killed in
an aeroplane, in 1908, the list of
fatalities has rapidly increased, es-
pecially in the present year, when the
deaths more than doubled the COM
bined number for the three preced-
ing years. In 1908 one man lost his
life, in 1909 four, in 1910 thirty
two, and to date for the present year
seventy-seven persons have been
killed.
In 1911, as in preceding years,
France has contributed by far the
largest number of victims, her list
totaling 25, including one woman,
Nine. Demiz Moore who fell at Etam-
pes on July 81 last.
German airmen who lost their
lives this year number IA, English
z, Russian 4, Italian, Austrian and
Japanese 2 each. Servia, Spain, Bel
GUM, Brazil, Peru and Cuba con-
tributed one each TO the death roll
of the year.
While aviation has been carried on
almost as extensively in Canada as
elsewhere it is interesting to note
that no fatality was recorded in that
country during the present year In
striking contrast is the record of
the United States, including Porto
Rico, in which total of Is aviators
have met death in 1911.
The complete list of American vic
Tins for the year is as follows:
April 25-William G. Purvis, died
at Baton Rouge, La, as result of fall
on March 5.
May 10-Lieut. George E. M. KEEL
ley, U. S. A, killed by fall at San
Antonio.

In 1906 lightning killed only 169
people in this whole country. Ones
chances of death by lightning are
less than two in a million. The
chance of death from liver, kidney

but not if Electric Bitters is used,
or stomach trouble is vastly greater,

OFFERS $4,000 FOR
GOTCH TO WRESTLE
One Thousand Dollars Posted
as Forfeit for Champion to
Meet Zbyszko.

NEW YORK, November Jack Her
man, who looks after the interests of the
giant Polish wrestler Zbyszko, goes on the
principle that money is one of our best
and loudest conversationalists. Ever since
the Hackenschmidt fiasco in Chicago
when Champion Frank Gotch emerged
from retirement to make a small fortune
and toss the Russian Lion all over
again, Herman has been on the trail He
is sure that Zbyszko can beat Gotch, and
Is not quite sure but that Gotch shares
the same opinion.
Last night Herman posted $1,000 with
Harry D. eastman. sporting editor OF
the American, to force Gotch into the
meeting he is SO apparently avoiding.
The money goes as forfeit, according
to conditions. that he will pay Gotch
5000 more as his share of the proceeds
OF meeting with che big Pole. There
are no other restrictions. As soon as
Gotch sees his way clear to arranging a
meeting the ine-thousand-d dollar balance
Will be placed in the same hands, or the
money already posted will be forfeited.
The match must be to q finish best
two falls in three, for the world 5
wrestling championship. Date. place and
referee are to be chosen by mutual con-
sent, and Herman insists that there will
be no quibbling on any Of these points
so far as he is concerned
Ten thousand dollars for an evenings
exercise is quite bit more than Gotch
is making at present. For his barn
stOrmng trips with wrestling partners
5000 a performance is considered good
pay.
