EYE OF A RABBIT.
lis Grated on Man and Cornea En-.
ables Him to See.

In the current number OF the Jour
nal OF the American Medical Asso
citation is told how the cornea of q
rabbits eye was grated upon the eye
Of a patient in a hospital. THE cor
nea graft is perfect and clear" and
the vision restored, according to the
article in the Journal.
The history of the case shows that
there was almost complete destruc-
tion of the cOrnea 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 d.
lated and the c0rnea removed"
In describing the operation the ar
ticle declares that under local
anaesthesia the cornea was complete
ly excised, except one sixteenth of
an inch. and the cornea of the rab-
bits eye was cut to fit the excised
area Stitches were then taken in
the membrane which united the
globe of the eye with the cyelid and
drawn over the graft to hold il in
place.

FEW HUMMINe BIRDS LEFT
Commercial Uses Have Nearly Ester-
minated the TlnIest Of Feath-
cred Creatures.

Our continent has q monopoly OF
humming birds. the gems Of the feath-
cred creation. OF these there are said
to be as many as four hundred species,
most of which confine themselves to
the tropical regions.
Only eighteen varieties live farther
north than Mexico. It is generally
thought that humming birds live upon
honey. This, however, is a mistake.
They do obtain and devour honey, It is
true, but most Of their food consists
Of the small insects which inhabit GER
tain flowers.
Humming birds are SO small that
when they are captured for CONNER
cial purposes It Is impossible to use
even the smallest shot for fear OF In
1uring their skins. They are therefore
stunned with drop of water from a
blowgun or syringe and fall into q
net, when they are quickly poisoned.
Humming birds vary in size from
those half as large as a sparrow to
those about the size Of q bee. Their
flight is so swift that they can be
well seen only when poised above a
flower. The little creatures bid fair
to be exterminated on account OF the
senseless and cruel fashion of using
them as trimming for women's hats

A new style Of nfs preserver. de-
Bigned for expert and amateur swim
ners as well as for all manner Of yes
sells, was tried out In the Hudson river
on One Hundred and Fifty-nfth street
the other day. The device was worn
By its inventor, Nathan Martino, of
704 Ninth avenue. II consists Of .
rubber belt. with two sacks, or In
dated balloons. Just In front Of the
shoulders. Mr.. MARITIME demonstrated
that the life pressrver can be worn
when debated underneath q bathing

means OF the tubes, which hang Ovux

denly afflicted with cramps he could
reach for the tubes. put them In his
mouth and innate the bags before he
could sink. This is what Mr.. MARITIME
said. and he demonstrated II by plung-
ing into the Hudson river, where the
water is 20 feet deep, inflated the de-
vice and fioated about without EFFORT
Two hundred bathsrs watched the
demonstration.
The new life preserver II made OF

Martino is the only one ever made.
and cost ten dollars. Mr.. Martino said
that duplicates could be made for half
that sum. He made the assertion that
It win support a person weighing 500
pounds. and has the advantage over
the ordinary cork life preserver that
any one on board ship or swimming
can wear one Debated, without its flg-
uring az any addition to the ordinary

weighs 210 pounds and looks every

CRY FOR BAcKFIELD MEN.
Navy Coaches Will Give ANY Man a
Place Who Can Earn it.

Displeased the showing of the
team against Bucknell on Saturday
and particular y with the poor work
in the backfield, the Naval Acadt my
coaches announced yesterday after
noon that places behind the line were
open to the players who could show
that they deserved them.
There is a string of backfieId men,
including Captain Rodes Leonard
Ingram, H. Harrison, Failing, Mich
OILS, Bates, Cook, Collins and Alexan-
der, who all have shown football abil-
ity at times, but in no case has any
really reliable ground gaining ability
been demonstrated in actual contests.
There was short practice yester-
day afternoon and nearly the whole
time was given to practising the team
in defensive work against the varia-
tions of the forward pass play. This
has proved the undoing of the mid
shipmen in at least three of this sea-
sons gmes. The team was coached to
vary its defensive formation so as
to meet any form of this attack.

PompeIIan Venus Is unearthed.

One OF the latest and most interest
ing things uncovered during the new
excavations at Pompeii under the d.
rection Of Professor Spinazzola, is 6
fresco which is regarded as the best
which has yet been found. It is very
beautiful, and in q perfect state oi
preservation. It was one Of the orna'
ments Of the facade Of house situat-
ed in the main public thoroughfare, Of
which the roof was in an almost intact
condition. It represents the Pom
peiian Venus standing erect, crowned
with diadem, in the midst OF fiyine
Cupids, on a chariot drawn by four IN.
dian elephants. Seen from the front,
the representation OF these animals is
strikingly realistic. The archaeologi.
cal value Of the fresco is extremely
great, for the colors are very fresh
and harmonious.
