The sudden death of DR.. Jilson

The sudden death Of DR.. Jilson
Payne Harrison at his plantation
home last Saturday afternoon
about 6:30 o'clock cast gloom
over his friends in New Iberia,
which time only can eradicate.
DR.. Harrison had been for many
months a sufferer from insomnia,
and it was evident to those near
and dear to him that his suffering
was affecting his health. The
same afternoon Of his death he
transacted business in New Ibe-
ria and at $50 life had become
extinct. Deceased was one of
our most prosperous citizens and
always took foremost part in
every movement for the general
good Of the community and only
recently had invested thousands
cf dollars in the purchase of
blooded stock for his farm on
Lake Tasse. He also built up one
Of the finest pecan groves in the
State which in a few years more
would have made him independ-
emily wealthy. devoting all Of his
time to its cultivation. after he
gave up his extensive medical
practice some years ago. He was

that for time looked like it
would interfere with the work of
the crew engaged in that occupa-
ton. The drilling is going on
both night as we'll as day without
any let up, so determined are the
stockholders of these corporations
to make this a proven field as ear

We have not the least idea how
far down either of them have yet

this piece Of news is kept secret
from the press as every effort we
have made to get this piece of in
formation we have. met with the
words-we cannot tell. Options
throughout the entire Fausse

there will be not less than one

BIG BUOY A SUBSTITUTE FOR
LIFEBOATS.

A life buoy capable of shelter
ing 40 persons has ben on exhibit
ton recently in the Willamette
River at Portland. Ore. 1t is in
tended as substitute for a life
boat, and its inventor claims that
it is unsuitable, noncollapsible,
and will ride upright in the rough
est. sea. The device is made en-
tirely Of steel and resembles
huge top. Entrance is gained
through trapdoor which is wat
erstight when closed. The buoy
is intended to be kept on a ves-
sells deck and if in time of dam
ger thre is no opportunity to
launch it. passengers need only
get inside and wait for it to take
the water as the boat sinks. The
upper portion is fitted with win
dows and serves as a coming tow
or. where lights or other distress
signals can be displayed. The
buoy is described in an illustrated
article in the January Popular
Mechanics Magazine.

REPAIRING THE MANNED.

A Berlin professor is the origi-
nator Of a new way of mending
nerves which has been found high
ly valuable. The operation con-
sists in removing a section of an
artery from some animal, filling it
with embryonal nerve tissue. and
employing it as a casing into
which the disconnected nerve ends
are inserted. When this is done
the members reunite with surpris-
ing rapidity. it has been found,
and the previously paralyzed mus
Gle or muscles again function. In
one instance, which serves as a
particularly astonishing example,
nearly two and a half inches of
the ulnar nerve. which passes
down the inner side of the arm
and forearm. had been excised.
Function was restored to the mus
cles within a few weeks after the
operation had been performed.
Another German authority re-
ports many cases in which he has
successfully mended severed
nerves by a lately devised method
of suture. The process is especial
ly noteworthy because it enables
the nerve ends to be reunited with
out tension or hemorrhage, re-
