WHEN CLEMENS
BECAME TWAIN,
Title Came from a Bur1esque on n
River Pilot.

AS the boys Of Hannibal had gathered
around to listen when Sam Clemens be-
gan to speak. so we may believe that
the pilots in the Rooms" at st. Louis
ana New Orleans laid aside other things
when he had an observation to make or
a tale TO tell says Albert Bigelow Paine
in Harper's. Few of his stories of those
days are remembered now, and perhaps
all could not be printed even II they
could he recalled Occasionally some OF
his droll yarns would get into the pa
pers He may have written them him
self
But II he published any work in those
river days he did not acknowledge II
later-with one exception. The excep-
ton was not intended for publication,
either. II was a burlesque written for
the amusement OF his immediate friends.
He has told the story himself more than
once, but It belongs there for the reason
that somewhere out Of the general cir
cumstance of 1t there originated a pseu-
donym-one day to become the best
known In the hemisphere-the name
Mark Twain"
That terse, positive. peremp tory, dynam-
&c pen-name was first used by an old
pilot named Isiah Sellers, sort Of "oid-
est inha bitant" Of the river, who made
the other pilots weary with the scope and
antiquity of his reminiscent knowledge.
He contributed paragraphs Of general IN
formation and HISTORIAN opinions 60 the
New Orleans Picayune, and signed them
Mark Twain" They were equally ego
tistical in tone. usually beginning, MY
opinion, for the benent Of the citizens Of
New Orleans" and reciting incident. and
comparisons dating as far back as 1911
Captain Sellers naturally was regarded
as fair game by the young pilots, who
amused themselves by Initial ting his man.
rer and general attitude Of speech Blu,
Clemens went further: he wrote at con-
siderable length broadly burl sque i'm
itation signed Sergeant Fathom,' with
an Introduction which referred to the
said Fathom as "one Of the Oldest cub
pilots on the river" The letter that fol.
lowed related a perfectly impossible trip
supposed to have been made In 1763, By
the steamer "the old first Jubilee" with
a "Chinese captain and Choctaw crew. >
il is a gem of it's kind and will bear re.
print in full to-day.
The burlesQue delighted Bart Bowen
who was Clemens pilot partner on the
Edward J. Gay at the time. He insisted
on showing 1t to others, and finally upor
printing It. Clemens was reluctant. but
consented. 1t appeared In the New Or
leans True Delta In 1869, and was widely
and boistcrously enjoyed
It broke Captain Sellers literary heart
He never contributed another phi
Mark Twain always regretted the whole
matter deeply. and his own revival OF thu
name was a sort OF tribute to the ole
man he had thoughtlessly wounded.
Captain Sellers has knowledge Of materta

these things brought to him and to thu

NEW HUMAN SKIN
/. OF EGG MEMBRANE
Finer Than Old Cuticle but
Strong and Healthy-May
Save Hundreds of Lives.

Philadelphia. Dec 22.-Discovery by
DR. Max Stalcr, surgeon at Mt. Sinai
hospital of this city, that the white
lining. or membrane, Of egg shells can
be used with success as substitute for
human skin in grating operations may
revolutonize the methods of treating
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 n
woman was so fearfully burned that
doctors believed she would not 1--we
through the operations. 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 a 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
quarter Of an inoh 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 1t 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
DR.. Staller told of his discovery and tho
success of the treatment at a meeting
of the southeast branch of the County
! Medical society tonight. Other doctors
at the hospital give DR.. Staller all the
credit for the discovery.
A woman was taken to the hospital
three months ago suffering from burns
IN the bnc''. neck and arms. Skin graft
ing was ;f2 only chance for her 70
cover 7o1c volunteered in her be-
half. Staier had been experiment
Ing - he egg membrane in minor
cases 80 decided to try the treatment
| on the tcnan as last resort
! The hi'e lining on the inside of the
shell was carefully removed from severa I
dozens Of eggs and cut into small pieces
These were placed On the burned surface
and wet dressing was applied.
! When. some time later. the dressing was
removed. it was found that most Of the
pieces had started 20 grow. The case was
watched with interest the cells grew
larger and the membrane covered the en-
! tire surface.
Now the woman has almost entirely re-
covered and there are few scars. The
doctors say the new skin is a trifie finer
than the human skin, but appears to be
strong and healthy.
Another case treated was a boy. Jacob
Freshman. who was so badly burned that
the muscles Of his legs were exposed The
egg-shell membrane was grated on the
surface and the boy Is now in a fair way
n recovery.
