purpose of soliciting new business or
collecting premiums on old business
unless such companies are licensed
in the State in which they attempt

says that this bill would not only
checkmate the wild cat insurance

tion would prevent company from

Woman Changing Into a Man.

Paris, June 14.-The professors
and surgeons of the French Academy
of Sciences have been confronted with
a remarkable case of what is known
as "virilism.''
Professor Tuffer, an eminent Par
isian surgeon, has presented woman
of 62 years whose face and hands
have become those of man.
When she was 40 years old the
woman was attacked with an extra
ordinary hypertrophy of certain
glands and since then her whole be:
ing has changed. Her biceps have
attained the strength of healthy
mans biceps her shoulders have
broadened and she has become pecu-
liarly muscular.
Most extraordinary of all, she has
grown bald and at the same time has
developed a long black beard which
reaches her waist.-Baltimore Sun
