A CORRECTION.

q the Real Estate sales reported in
last weeks issue of the Chronicle there
appeared a notice of the purchased of a
property on Carlisle Lane by William
Ramsey. The article stated that the
house was the one in which two negro
women were shot last fall. Such is not
tqe case, however, for the house pur-
enased by Mr.. Ramsey is another pro-
fetty. We correct this in order that
ae wrong impression about the property
niBht not be circulated.

HAVE LIVED WITHOUT BRAINS
Cases on Record Seem to Sustain Con-
tention That They Are Not
Indispensable.

French surgeons are striving to
prove that the brain is not indispen-
sable. and serves only to fill up the
skull. Three recent cases tending to
show this are reported by Dr. Ell
enne Destot, surgeon to the tribunal
OF the Seine, as having come under
his personal observation.
A twelve-year-old boy in care Of
DR.. Daniel Molliere of Lyons was
stated to have lost bowl Of brains
from falling over stair rail and frac-
turing his skull on a gas lamp, yet
after ten days Of Inconsistencies. he
completely recovered his senses and
all faculties.
Doctor Destot has himself dressed
for several months the wound Of ma
son who had the frontal bone and left
frontal lobe of the brain torn away
while mounting large cornice stone.
The patient was unconscious for Is
days, but regained his senses, and
showed no impairment of faculties.
The third case is that Of an Arab in
care Of Doctor Bruch of Algiers. The
patient had come to the hospital with
wound on the left eyelid and de-
preston Of the skull due to a severe
hammer blow, but for two months he
showed no sign Of brain trouble. when
he became suddenly unconscious and
died.
Post-mortem examination brought
the astonishing discovery that he had
been living with no brains left.

long be tactless. For tactlessness is
simply the failure to think sufficient
