"Of late years." he says, with the
development of surgical a sepsis, op-
orators are more and more turning
their attention to plastic surgery.
Misshapen noses are made straight by
cutting out deformed bones, scars are
removed and replaced with healthy
skin, and eyelids destroyed by disease
or burns have even been replaced by
graft from those of animals. The X

caustic have entirely revolutionized
the treatment of birth marks and mol.

CIRCUS LOSES NO
TINE IN GETTING
OUT OF CAPITAL
Caravan Moves on to Balti-
more for Two Days
Stay.

That caravan Of curiosity and comedy
the Barnum & Bailey circus-which
usually means a downpour of rain and
outpour of sheckeIs in the National
Capital, broke camp early this morning,
and before daylight was away in the
precincts of Maryland, acting as an
early riser" on the Riddles" of Balti-
more, where II will show for two days.
The heavy downpour of rain, while 1t
somewhat marred the pleasure of those
who attended the shows in the great
canvas arena at the circus grounds last
night. did not seem to decrease the at.
tendance as compared with the preced-
ing nights performance. BY the time
the greatest show on earth" had
started the performance the rain had
practically ceased, but the cessation of
the downpour came after practically the
entire audience was seated.
Gee! ,fellers. let's stay up and watch
II go out" was the invitation issued by
many youngsters living In the vicinity
Of the circus grounds, and in many in
stances. accompanied by adults still
circus curious, the invitation was
needed. Several hundred children and
| adults In wonderment marveled at the
rapidity with which the acres of can
vas were taken down and how quickly
the animals and paraphernalia disap-
peared into freight trains. Then when
the circus left town the eyewitnesses
| to the departure trundled into beds and
dreamed of the wonderful things they
had seen.

UNUSUAL STREAM
IS FOUND IN WEST
In Minnesota There Is a Stretch
Of Water That Flows
Two Ways.

Minnesota possesses one of the rarcst
geologic curioslties in the world. This
State has at least one stream that
flows two ways. In northern Minnesota
there Is an area of land so fiat its
waters sometimes flow into Hudson
bay and sometimes flow into the Gulf
of Mexico. Somewhere on this fiat area
is the exact watershed between the
great bay to the north of this CONT
nent and the great gulf to the south,
but 1t has never been exactly located.
The headwaters of the Mississippi river
are located in this area. There Is a
continuous waterway from Hudson bay
to the Gulf of Mexico. The waterway
divides North America into two CONT
nents not Joined by land at any point.
Sometimes certain lakes in this north
ern Minnesota area discharge at both
ends at the same time, water running
from one end into the Red or Rainy
river to Winnipeg lake and thence to
Hudson bay. and from the other end
into the Mississippi.
An investigation of the water supply
of the rivers that cross the interna-
tional boundary line has just been COM
pleted by the Geologic Survey.

c. O.P. LEADERS IN
MARYLAND Do NOT
LOOK FOR DIVISION
Not Thought Likely That
Mckinley Claim Will Get
Consideration.

BALTIMORE. Nav S-While the ma
tiOnal managers of President Taft's
campaign assert that because the
President carried two Congressional dis
tricts in Maryland he is entitled to
four votes in the national convention,
Republican leaders Of The state. both
those who supported the President and
those who backed Colonel Roosevelt. do
not believe the question should be given
serloIs consideration.
On the Democratic side, where Gov
"rnor V ilsun carried the First Congress
sional district and Speaker Clark car
lied five. the same attitude is taken by
reading Democrats of all factions.
The question was first raised when
Director Mckinley. OF President Taft 8
national campaign committee, issued a
statement in which he said that under
the rules OF the Republican party, the
President was entitled 20 and would
receive four nf the sixteen votes in the
national convention. Maryland poll
ticians of both parties say that the
primaries were fought under legalized
rules. and they will abide by the de-
ciSion of the people.
Mr.. Mckinley based his claim on the
First and Fifth Congressional districts,
both of which were carried by President
Taft. and said this would give the Presi-
dent four of the Maryland delegates.
The other four districts were carried by
Colonel Roosevelt.
Republican and Democratic leaders
are already discussing the selection ot
the delegates to the national conven-
tions and indications are that factional
fights win result over these places. The
Goldsborough- h-JaCkson-Parran comblna-
ton will be in control OF the Republican
State convention, Collector Stone hav-
ing scarcely any delegates.
County Democrats assert that they
will organize the Democratic State cor
vention, although some believe Mayo
Preston and the city machine will make
big efforts In this direction Friends OF
Senator John Walter Smith say that
they will be in control. irrespective OF
the course OF Preston and the city or
ganiZation.
