BLIND MANS SIGHT RESTORED
Piece Of cornea From Dead Animal,
TranspIanted. Is Hailed as Tri-
umph of Surgery.

The French Academy of Sciences our
nounces the success OF an operation
on a blind man. performed seven
months ago and watched carefully
ever since
A workman had an eye burned BY
quicklime. SO that the cornea had be-
come Opaque. 1t has long been the
dpeam of scientists to transplant the
cornea from animals to man. but so far
this has been tried without success.
This transparent cornea is one of
the most delicate parts of the human
organism. Very soon after death, or
after tho removal OF the eye from q
living person. for that matter. It be.
comes Opaque and begins to break up.
But M. Magitot has found a way to
preserve its transparency In the case
in question 1t had been kept a week
before piece OF 1t was fitted into the
depression made by removing a quar-
ter-inch square section of the cornea
OF the blind mans eye.
Now. after seven months observn-
tion by the surgeon. the eye is pro-
nounced well. and he can see with IT
-dimly. 1t is true. but still he sees. =

advantage at least. that one may sit in

ting their inability to get married and
to continue their journey together.
There In the car were the giggling
conspirators preparir 3 bridal mock
cry for their sweet confusion.
Then the angels might have nudged
one another and said:
"Oh, It's all right now. There goes
the minister hurrying to their very
car. Mallory has the license In his
pocket. and here comes the parson.
Hoorayi"
And then the angelic cheer must
have died out as the one great hurrah
of crowded background is quenched
in air when the home teams vitality

line and drops useless as stupid foul

In a shabby old hack. were two of
the happiest runaways that ever
sought train. They were not miser-
able like the young couple in the taxi

They had been married for thirty
years. Yet this was their real honey

ample opportunity to display his machine
in all its possible maneuvers. Mr.. Worth

and pronounced it admirably fitted for
the exhibition. The required length TO
secure a start for these fields is 400 feet,
