Needle Travels Through Body.

Last week DR.. Lindsey removed a
needle almost two inches in length
from the abdomen of Ray Young.
The needle was accidently run into
the back part of his shoulder over
eight months ago and during this
time it had travelled down and around
his side and lay just beneath the skin
and directly in front of the hip bone.
Although the needle lay just under
the skin, the doctor says it probably
never would have worked out. We
have read of similar cases but this is
the first one we ever saw.-Van Vert

Standard of ColorS.

The call for international standards
OF all kinds is becoming every day
more insistent with the progressive
unification Of the industries OF the
world. The latest demand Of this kind
is for an international standard OF
colors.
Chemists, manufacturers OF dye
stuffs and pigments, and many others
would benefit by such a standard. II
is suggested that when once the de-
sired color scheme has been decided
upon, the best method Of perpetuating
the standards, and rendering them
available for comparison everywhere,
would be by means OF colored glasses
with which a tintometer could be con.
structed. A tentative instrument OF
this kind, based on an arbitrary color
scheme, has been made.-Youth's 3

HAIR FOR SKIN GRATING
Applied in Chopped Form, II Is Found
10 Be Good Substitute for
Ordinary Cutiele.

Chopped hair has been successfully
substituted for skin in skin grating
by the French surgeon. T. Carnot, who
has applied his method in many
cases. II is based on the fact that
the cells OF the hair and its roots
are epidermic outgrowths and can
easily be transformed into skin cells.
The use of hair not only does away
with the necessity of taking skin from
other persons. which is painful oper.
alton, but IL is said 10 be an improve
ment as well, as IL is strong and
hardy, and being Injured To a minimum
OF nutrition is able TO thrive under
unfavorable conditions, such as pre-
vail where grating is necessary.
The manner OF performing the
operation is simple. a few hairs being
pulled from the head of the patient
or Of a relative, and with the bulbous
root removed the freshest or newest
parts are cut into small pieces so as

der is then strewn over the surface
Of the wound and a proper bandage
applied.
Within a week white spots appear
on the surface rapidly increasing In
size. The spots extend and thicken
and finally form a perfect new skin,

SURE SIGNS OF EYE STRAIN
Headache. Vertigo and other Symp-
toms Of That Ailment That
Atflets Many Persons

Chief among the symptoms OF eye
strain are watering OF the eye,
gluing together of the eyelids on
awakening in the morning. headache,
the position and character OF which
vary with each individual. IL may e
neuralgic or IL may be deeply seated,
as was the case with Wagner, the
musician, who was complaining CON
stantly OF the nerves Of his eyes"
The headache Is often replaced by
an Inflammation of the eyelids, espe-
cially in young and healthy persons
who also have little oonjunctivitis
with feeling OF tension or fullness in
the eyes which may become real pain
OF a dull aching character. the eye
balls being very tender on pressure.
Sometimes "there are vertigo and
sickness with dyspepsia, palpitaton,
and even difficulty in breathing
Sleeplessness is a very frequent symp-
tom due in part 10 the excessive flow
Of blood 10 the brain and in part TO
the low tone Of the whole nervous
system.
The symptoms OF eye strain appear
sooner in those who lead confined
and sedentary life. who follow occu'
pations which need constant use
Of the eyes in bad or unsuitable light,
and in those who are debilitated from
any cause. The symptoms appear
later in those of coarser fiber, who
pass much of their time in the open
air or who follow occupations which
do not Ieed prolonged use Of the
eyes for close work Lancet.
