that a change of climate might might
prolong his life.
In Jacksonville his health was con-
siderably worse, and he went to st
Luke's hospital for an examination.
DR.. Turck took charge of the case.
Another operation was performed.
The physician found an opening in
the skull that the silver plate had
adhered to the brain and was the di-
rect cause for the epileptic fits. The
physician removed the plate and
found that the usual brain coverings
or substitutes would not do in this
particular case. An entirely new ex-
pertinent was adopted by the surgeon.
He opened the abdomen Of the young
man and removed the necessary
amount of intestinal tissues to carry
out the operation. The tissue was
placed directly over the brain and a
new silver plate placed over it.
Brown is gradually recovering from
the operation and since that time has
not had the slightest symptom of an
epileptic fit.
Raymond Custer Turck was born in
Ithaca in 1874, the son of w. S.
Turck. one of the pioneer citizens Of
Alma and who for many years con-

Appears Before Judge Potts in Pro-
bate Court

The Cohoon will case was called be-
fore Judge Potts of the Probate court
at Ithaca last Thursday and was post
poned until Tuesday. Further details
will be given in the next issue.
The contest upon the will of Lyman
c. Cohoon, deceased, came on to be
heard i'm the circuit court for this
county last week. Under a special
statute passed in 1911 the legislature
sought to provide how contests upon
wills might be certified from the pro-
bate court to the circuit court for
hearing without a trial i'm the probate
court
The validity of this statute was at
tackled by the proponents of the will
as unconstitutional and void for vari-
Gus reasons, but principally because it
was claimed that the legislature could
not confer either original or appellate
jurisdiction on the circuit court in
such manner.
Judge Davis, of Ionia, 81 ting in
place of Judge Scarf, who is disquali-
fed on account of litigation between
the parties while he was an attorney,
held the objections good and dismissed
the certification and remitted the case
to the probate court for hearing as the
court of original jurisdiction to hear
and determine such contests. If the
case goes again to the circuit court it
will be by regular appeal from the or
der of the probate Judge allowing or
disallowing the will.
The present attitude of the parties
forecasts a long and furious trial
through the courts.

They Do Not Bear Fruit Until They
Are Fifty Years Old.
In this country Brazil nuts are al
most as we'll known as walnuts, yet
few know the manner of their growth
and the steps taken in their collection
and marketing The tree itself is the
most majestic in the valley of the ANA
zon. where it attains height ranging
from fifty to a hundred feet. Gener-
ally several hundred trees are found in
group. The control of the best pro.
ducing districts long ago passed to pri
vate individuals; hence the natives are
not free to pick and sell the nuts at
will
The Brazil nut tree does not begin to
bear fruit until it attains the age of
fifty years or Whereabouts and contin
ues to produce crops internationally al
most forever At least trees known to
be hundreds Of years old have pro-
duced crops. The pods In which the
nuts are contained drop In November
and December.
These pods are very hard and weigh
several pounds, consequently the trees
are studiously avoided during the pc
riod in which the pods are dropping
since 1t would be extremely hazardous
for the gatherers to expose themselves
to the danger Of having the pods fall
on them from such great height
Each pod Is at least seven inches in
diameter and is full of nuts. The pod
Is usually opened with a machete.-Ar.

Volcanic Eruptions Have Deadly e

Volcanic Eruptions Have q Deadly e.
feet Upon kslp Life.
The damage done to seaweed and
other forms Of marine vegetation is
about the last thing that would occur
to anybody who had not made a study
Of the subject as possible result Of
Il volcanic eruption.
#kelp Is one of the most useful forms
Vi. seaweed. 1t used to be found In
abundance OF various parts of the
coast Of Alaska, but for several years
past the crop has been practically de-
stroyed by volcanic eruptions which
have occurred in that vicinity.
This has been source Of great loss
to the natives of Alaska, who have
made use of kelp in a variety of ways
As it grows only In shallow water, it
has proved a valuable aid to naviga-
ton in waters where there are prac-
tically no aids except such as nature
has provided. Then, too, the natives
used it to ferttlize their gardens.
There are various theories as to just
how the action Of volcanoes interrupts
or entirely stops the growth of kelp.
One Is that the hot blasts and poison
GUS gases which pour out of the
craters during erupt1ons are fatal to
plant life. -..>.: -.
Another more probable explanation
Of the damage done to kelp is that it
is due to the enormous masses of pun.
Ice from the volcanoes. r.
This pumice. it Is thought, covers the
rocks SO that the kelp and other ma.
rine plants find it impossible to cling
to them, or it may be that it is the
grinding effect produced on this great
mass Of rough stone by the constant
movement of the tides and waves
which brushes out the waters vege-
