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.. Eth
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 a bowl of brains
from falling over a 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 a 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
a 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 o. 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.

WEDNE SCAY.

German air machines, supposedly
Zeprelins, raided half a dozen towns
near the Norfolk coast, about 100
miles north of London, killing foul
persons. Bombs thrown at the roya
palace at Sandringham failed to dam
age the building. The raiders are be
lieved to have crossed the North sea
from Cuxhaven.
An unofficial report from Petrograt
says that Cossack troopers have
reached a roint nineteen miles from
Thorn, Germany. The Russians say
they have repulscd German forces
which made an attempt to cross the
Vistrla river. Berlin asserts that the
Germans west of Warsaw have made
slight advances and that the Russian
offensive in Hungary and Galicia has
been broken.
Berlin also claims the capture from
the allies in France of trenches north
west of Arras and in the Argonne re
gion, together with town in Alsace
Paris says French troops have made
gains near st. Mihiel and near Lens.

First to DlstiII Perfumes.

The process of distilling perfumes
was invented by Avicenua, an Arabian
doctor who lived in the tenth century.
He was the first to discover the proc
ess of separating the aroma from the
plants and flowers so that it could
be used instead of greasy unguents
and smelly oils. Early-day physicians
used to prescribe certain sweet odors
for various ailments, particularly in
the case of nervousness. The Egyp-
tian women wore strings of scented
beads on their necks, as do the Chi
