In an effort to stop the migration OF

and Prevention of tuberculosis will
ask physicians to be more careful in
ordering patients to go away, and will
also ask railroads to discontinue their
practice of selling charity" tickets

fare. mo consumptive should go to
Colorado, California, or the West for
his health" says the association, "un-

for this purpose, over and above what
his family may need.
Tuberculosis can be cured in any
part of the United States, and it is
not necessary for a tuberculosis pa.

the National Association urges tuber-

Something About Violet

New York.-A " Der Of notable ex-
periments In wireless telegraphy is to
be tried in Paris April % during an
eclipse of the sun. which will obscure
four.fifths Of its rays. 1t has been
noticed by scientists that the distance
over which wireless messages can be
dispatched varies greatly, according
to the time Of day and the direction.
A message sent by rapid vibrations
which will not carry more than 700
miles during the day. can be sent two
or three times that distance at sun.
set. especially toward the south.
When slower vibrations were used It
can be transmitted further during the
day.
It Is believed that these curious
facts are due to the activity OF the 80
called ultraviolet rays Of the sun, the
theory being that. these rays are q
powerful factor in the energy OF the
hertzian waves. The eclipse. when q

STARS MADE BY COLLISIONS
Professor Blckertor, British Scientist.
Believes Luminous Bodies Caused
by Solar Agitation.

Prof. A. w. Bickcr.on, n British
scientist, believes now stars are
caused by solar collisions. The col
llsion Of two suns. he said, resulted
in tho formation OF third body. IL
two dead suns came into collision
they would burst into fame The col
l!sion would take about three.quarters
OF an hour. In each case the collision
would take the same time. as the col.
liding bodies would get up n velocity
proportionate to their size. Then
there would flash out a brilliant star,
which would become permanent
body. Tho effect OF n complete col
lision OF two gaseous suns would be
to make n new sun, Such collisions
were not accidental. They did not
occur at random. Included among
number of agencies tending to devel.
op such collisions was gravtation.
Before suns collidcd they fell toward
each other and got up speed for hun.
dreds of years. The tremendous
speed thus developed was stopped
suddenly In the colliding parts and
converted into heat. Thus In about
an hour new star was born, explo-
sive force expanded II, and 1t swelled
out It's diameter at a speed Of mil
lions Of miles an hour. The sudden

astronomers to imagine that a col.

Baltimore, Md-An operation that
In the history Of science has never

for the second time in the Johns Hop

the world.renowned brain specialist,
and the patient, as a result, Is on the

authorities on brain disorders, will
prove success.

tions. during which photographs OF the
brain we're taken. DR.. Gushing discov.
cred that portion Of the brain had

ing the healthy section gradually to be-
come affected.
DR.. Cushing's conception was this:
To procure the brain Of another pa.
tient az soon after death as possible
and to transplant a portion Of It into
the skull Of Buckner. The brain had
to be healthy and from as young a
person as possible. The transplanta-
ton of the dead brain and the procur-
ing Of It were two widely different
things, however. AND this was the dif.
fculty confronting the physician,
when one Of his colleagues casually
mentioned that a child had been born
dead In one OF the wards.
Here was the opportunity. DR.. Cush'
ing hurried to the ward and extract
ed the brain from the dead child be-
fore the body was cold. Meanwhile
Buckner had been prepared for the or
deal.
Then in view Of about score oi
professors and students, DR.. Gushing
performed his greatest operation.
He chiseled away the back Of Buck
ner's skull and with great care re
moved the entire brain. which was lait

thought that he was we'll enough to
