Baltimore-An operation that prob
ably never has been equaled in dell
cacy or skill has been performed by
DR.. Harvey Cushing, brain specialist
of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, In
which portion of the minor brain,
known as the pituitary, was showed
aside and replaced after a quantity of
foreign fluid had been removed. The
patient, operated on last week, is on
the road to recovery. He is Harry
Edmonson of Columbus, 0.
An X-ray photograph revealed the
fluid and to this foreign liquid failing
eyesight and drowsy periods were at
tributed. The fluid could not be drain
ed before first drilling a tiny hole just
behind the left ear, leading to the cav
fly. Then, before the fluid could be
drawn off, the pituitary had to be re-
moved or directed to one side, for it
blocked the flow. To loosen the little
ball would be fatal to the patient. but
at last the nerves were moved to one
side, drawing the small body after
them and leaving an opening for the
liquid to escape.

The northern, or short lane, is fol-

Greenland foes and bergs have drift
ed down and disintegrated in the
warmer southern waters; the southern
or short course Is that followed the
greater portion of the year, when the
presence of ice is a constant menace
to navigation. There is not a great
deal of latitudinal difference between
the two, and there Is no attempt to
get wholly below the limit of the ice
drift, for that would involve an impos-
sible and really futile detour; but the
southern course was always regarded
as absolutely safe. until the disas-
