EGG MEMBRANE AS SKIN.
covery Valuable for Graft
ing Operations.

Philadelphia, Dec. %. Discovery by
DR.. Max Staller, surgeon at Mt. Sinai
hospital, of this city, that the white
lining, or membrane, of egg shells can
be used with success as a substitute
for human skin in grating operations
may revoutionize the methods of treat
ing burns and scalds.
Experiments have been made at the
hospital for more than three months
and in every case the victims of burns
have been benefited. In one case a
woman was so fearfully burned that
doctors believed she would not live
through the operation. The new treat
ment proved successful and she will
soon be able to leave the hospital.
The lining of egg shells is really the
skin of embryonic chickens and con-
tains cells similar to the human skin.
When placed on burned surface the
cells multiply and the membrane be.
comes larger and larger until it joins
with the other pieces placed on the
flesh at distances of an eighth to a
quarter of an inch apart.
In the course of weeks the surface is
covered with new skin.
1t has long been the custom in cases
of serious burns to graft skin from a
healthy person. In many cases it has
been impossible to find persons willing
to give their skin, and as a result the
patients have died If the new method
is adopted in general practice it is be-
lieved many lives will be saved. Boston

DRAWS THOUSANDS OF FISH
Residents of Peninsular District
Kept Busy with Hook and
Line and Large Catches
are Made.

Schools of fish were attracted to
waters adjacent to South Boston shores
by the millions of gallons of molasses
that flowed into the harbor as the con-
sequence of the disastrous fire yester-
day and as result lovers of the
piscatorial sport reaped one of the
greatest harvests in the history of local
waters.
Thousands of the finny species were
captured and it is safe to assert that
in majority of the homes of the PENN
sular district the denizen of the
sea will vie with the turkey in appeas-
ing the appetite of the hungry.
Whether it was the sweetness of the
substance or the clouded condition of
the briny that caused the fish to gather
could not be definitely ascertained, but
it was the consensus of opinion that
they came to the locality not so much
for the reason that they had a fond
ness for sweet things, but out of curl
osity, apparently desiring to learn what
caused the murky condition of the
water.
The devotees of Sir Isaac Walton con-
tinued at the sport until long into the
evening, it being estimated that thous-
ands of all kinds of fish were caught
and one of the last to leave the banks

FOOD and

Judiciously ministered,
a BenefiCent Measure.

A Means for Conserving the
Public Health.

The proprietors OF Hoods Sarsana-

to be one OF the beneficent measures

administered with good judgment.
They practically anticipated it, years
ago, in the origination and adoption of
their formulas. No changes have been
necessary in Hoods Sarsa parilla or
any Of their other medicines to COM
ply with the provisions of this Act.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is and always

as Of peculiar and unequaled medic
inal merit. 1t has effected thousands
of radical and permanent cures OF

bines the utmost remedial values of
more than twenty different ingredi-
ents, including roots. barks and herbs
that are great specifics, and that are
gathered at the seasons of the year
when their medicinal juices are most
abundant in them, and that are prop

very remedies successful physicians
prescribe for the same diseases and
ailments, but they are not all found
in any other medicine. There is no
real substitute for Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Any preparation said to be
"just as good" is inferior, costs less to
make, and yields the dealer larger
profit. Insist on having Hoods Sar-
saparlla and get it today, in usual

titled Sound" Mr.. Battell is deep
student and his description of sound as
fluid composed of infnitesimal par
ticles of electrical matter, is new and
novel, and to prove his theory is correct
he devotes pages to the calculation of
this idea. He describes in a simple yet
comprehensive manner the effects of
sound in graphophones, telephones,
wireless telegraphy. 1t is a most valu-
able supplement to his great work

commends it to all scientific investiga-

ROOSEVELT BOOM ALARMS
LEADERS OF LA FOL-
LETTE FACTION.
Injection Of Ex-President's Name
Into the Campaign Upsets
Plans of Wisconsin Senator.
From Boston Journal.

Washington, Dec. 24.-La Toilette
leaders are alarmed over developments
in the West. They point to the petition
that has been filed with the secretary
of State of Nebraska that the name of
Roosevelt be placed upon the official
ballot to be voted for at the forthcom-
ing presidential preference primaries
in that State.
They are also concerned over the stu
alton in North and South Dakota and
Oregon. North Dakota and Oregon
have presidential preference primary
laws. At the primary in the former
State in March Republicans will thus
have the first opportunity to indicate
their choice among the various candi-
dates.
The managers of the La Toilette
movement have been hopeful of obtain
ing an expression in the North Dakota
and Nebraska primaries that would be
favorable to the Wisconsin senator.
The injection of Col. Roosevelt name
into the politics of these two States
may seriously upset their plans.
North Dakota particularly is strong
for Col. Roosevelt as against Taft and
La Toilette. This is admitted by North
Dakota regulars.
"There is unquestionably strong
Roosevelt sentiment in our State, and
if the former President would consent
to become candidate, he would sweep
North Dakota" said Congressman L.
B. Hanna. Col. Roosevelt is known in
North Dakota better than he is in most
States, for he lived on a ranch there for
years.
II think there is no doubt that Roose-
welt could get the North Dakota dele
cation and that he surely would carry
the State in the election"
Roosevelt's popularity in North Da-
kota is conceded by the La Toilette
managers. They think his name will
be used in the presidential primary to
be held in that State in March.
Under the North Dakota law petit
ton signed by Republican voters to the
number of per cent. of the vote cast
at the last elections would make any
man candidate for the presidency in
the primary so far as North Dakota is
concerned.
In the Congress elections of 1910
500 Republican votes were polled in
North Dakota. 1t would thus take only
500 signers to make Col Roosevelt a
candidate before the Republicans of the
of the State.
Oregon Republicans, according to in
formation received here, are strong for
La Toilette at the present time.
That the La Toilette movement will
be halted unless Col. Roosevelt soon
makes it clear that he will not be a
candidate next year is generally adj
mitted by the friends of the Wisconsin
senator.

Great Forest Tree Nursery.

"Some years ago an effort was made
to establish an arboretum, at Asheville,
N. c." said Madison Merville, of
Java, N. Y, at the National.
1.-THE attempt failed for some reason.
Now the National Historic and Scenic
Preservation Society is about to inaugu-
rate similar experiment in the county
of Wyoming, in New York State.
Several years ago the late o. P.
Letchworth transferred to the State of
New York his magnificent estate, then
known as Glen Iris, and now designated
as Letchworth Park. 1t is near the
headwaters of the Genesee River, and
embraces some of the most splendid
scenery in this country.
"The estate is about one-half in tim
Der, and the society, through its pres
ident, C. A. Dow, of jamestown, will
endeavor to carry out the wishes of Mr..
Letchworth by the establishment of a
great forest tree nursery. Here there
will be grown under scientific foresters
every species OF tree that Will thrive on
the North American continent.
"Overton w. Price, formerly assistant
forester of the Agricultural Depart
ment, now associated with Clifford
Pinchot, has consented to take charge
of the preliminary work, and under
stand, recently visited the valley for
the purpose of outlining preliminary
plans. He will organize a competent
corps of nurserymen, and then proceed
to obtain the necessary stock from
foreign governments and elsewhere. =.
within few years it is hoped that
New York State will present to
