EYE OF A RABBIT
AIDS MAN TO SEE.
correa Of Animal Successfully Grsftsc
on Patient and Vision Restored.

In the Journal OF the American Med
ical Association Ia told how the cor
nea of a rabbits eye was grated upon
the eye of a patient in hospital. The
corneal graft Is perfect and clear and
vision restored" according to the ar
ticle in the Journal.
The history of the case shows that
there was almost complete destruc-
ton of the corDea of the right eye and
the patient was entirely unable to see
from the eye at the time of entrance
to the hospital. The eye was properly
conditioned. pupil dilated and the cor
nea removed"
In describing the operation the arti-
Gle declares that "under local anaes,
thesia the cornea was completely ex-
cised except one-sixteenth of an inch.
and the cornea of the rabbits eye was
cut to fit the eXcised area" Stitches
were then taken in the membrane
which unites the globe of the eye with
the eyelid and drawn over the graft to
hold it in place.
In the corners Of the eye, where the
upper ana under eyeltdS meet were
placed small metallic tubes, bent to
fit. The tubes were connected with
vacuum bottles by rubber tubes to
draw of secretions which otherwise
would flood the eye and prevent un-
ion"
In giving further details of the graft
ing the article says that these were
held in position by bands of adhesive
plaster, and the eye was bandaged for
three days. The bandaGes were then
removed to see that the tubes were
kept clear for proper drainage. The
patient was kept in recumbent posi-
ton. The cornea of the rabbits eye
was removed under an anaesthetic aft
er the patient had been prepared and
transferred to a normal saline solu-
ton until ready for USE"

CHARITY OR BOUQUETS.
Wellesley Girls Asked to Choose Be-
tween Flowers and Aidino Chinese.


tween Flowers and Aiding Chinese.
Should Wellesley college girls refrain
from buying flowers and turn over the
money they would spend In that man.
ner TO help feed the starving thousands
in China?
The fair maids at that institution are
considering this question very serious
ly as the result of an editorial in the
college paper. The editorial, in part,
follows:
THE writer chooses TO be mercenary
from an economic standpoint. Do you
know how much money Wellesley
alone spent last year on cut flowers ?
Do you know how many famine worn
Chinese that would have given daily
sustenance for months, since Chinese
can live on cents a day? Perhaps
you think cut flowers Justify In aes-
thetic pleasure and benefit their cost,
and perhaps you cannot think of any
thing else to send your friend. Think
about it."

TO COIN THREE CENT PIECES.
Half Cent Coins Also Favored by Sec
retary MacVeaah.


Urged by Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh and George Il. Roberts. di-
rector Of the mint, the house passed
the bill of Representative Bulkley for
the coinage Of three cent pieces, one
half cent pieces and change in the
composition of coppers.
Secretary MacVeagh says there is a
genuine demand for both the three
and the one half cent coins. The style
Of the three cent piece has been left
to the treasury officials. 1t was ex-
planned TO the committee by Director
Roberts that in all probability the
new three cent piece would have a
deep scalloped edge similar to small
coins used in some Of the foreign
countries, which, he says, have proved
entirely satisfactory. The milling on
the edge will be made 80 that the three
cent piece will easily be distinguish
able from the ten cent piece. During
the period when three cent pieces were
being circulated the similarity with
the ten cent piece caused much confu-
sion and was one of the reasons behind
the decision to stop the coinage Of the
three cent pieces.
Secretary Maeveagh says half cent
pieces viii prove to be a boon 10 the
slot machine manufacturers. There is
legitimate trade In small articles sold
through the agency OF slot machines,
the department officials say. They
pointed out before the committee. for
one thing. the wax cups sold In rail-
way stations for which the purchases
drops a penny In the slot.

Purse For Air Corps.
The Turkish government has voted
100000 and the sultan has contribut-
ed $4,000 from his private purse for
the installation of regular aviation
service in the army.
A school will be created for the
training OF suitable men in the art OF
aviation. Already two aeroplanes have
arrived from France with every mod
ern requisite and well trained pilots.
A number of other flying machines of
various types have been ordered. 1t is
intended to choose the plain of the vii
lage of San Stefano, where the IA
nous Turko- Russian treaty was sign
ed in 1877, as a place most suitable for
purposes Of exercise.
The first effort was made on April
81, the ascension day of Sultan
Mehmed " The padishah himself and
all the royal princes were present. The
ladies of the imperial harem attended
the flying performances in closed court
carriages. They watched the flights
from the interior through the glass
windows as best they could.

Eight Failed.

Eight presidents have failed of a
second nomination at the hands of
their party, and five thus renominated
have failed of election. Perhaps
Pierce, Buchanan and Hayes were the
only ones to cherish neither open nor
secret hope of denomination at the
hands of some party. Loss of mid
term party control in the house of rep
resentatives has usually been a bad
omen for a president ambitious of a
second term. In hardly any instance
was the age alone of a retiring presi-
dent sufficient to defeat him of a sec
ond nomination, though some men
have been nominated a second time at
an age that would have made 1t diff
cult for them to obtain a first nomina-
ton.
The five presidents who failed of cleo
ton at a second nominal ton long out
lived their terms, while of the eight
who failed of a second nomination FIVE
died within eight years of their retire
ment Most of the presidents who
failed of a second nomination took no
very conspicuous part In public affairs
after retirement, and only two expires
idents have returned 10 congress. John
Quincy Adams and Grover Cleveland
alone had notable political careers aft
er defeat upon a second nomination.

Fillmore and Pierce.

EtllmOre stood no chance Tor the
nomination against a soldier candidate
in 1852. and Pierce In 1856 was too
sick Of politics and too harassed by
the situation between north and south
to seek denomination. Besides, it was
imperative that some man who had
been out of the turmoil should be the
Democratic nominee, and Buchanan,
absent on the English mission, was the
man. In 1860 Buchanan's age and in
firmities would have been enough to
prevent his denomination had he been
otherwise acceptable to either faction
Of his party. He outlived his murder
ed successor more than three years.
The radicals In 1864 threatened the
madness of a campaign against Lin
coin with Fremont as their candidate.
Johnson really hoped that the Demo
Gratis would nominate him in 1868.
Men not yet old recall the vain fight
against the denomination and re-elec-
ton Of Grant in 1872 and the equally
vain attempt to nominate him for a
third term. Arthur was not seriously
considered for denomination. and
Hayes throughout his whole term let
1t be known that he would not seek
denomination.
The triumph of Cleveland over his
enemies, within his own party and in
the Republican party in 1892 after his
defeat for reelection in 1888. is one of
the most dramatic incidents of Ameri-
can politics. Mckinley had pretty
smooth sailing In 1900. and Roosevelt's
luck and triumph in 1904 were such as
no predecessor had enjoyed since Mon
