WHY
Surgeons of Today Must Be
Good Carr nters.

We have wondered at the skill of
surgeons in grating pieces of skin
from a frogs leg or from a human
body upon the skinless injury caused
by a burn or other accident.
But the marvels of modern surgery
do not end there. Bone" grating Is
an art that demands the skill of IA
specialist in the most remarkable kind
of carpentry"
Electrically driven circular saws in
the hands of a bone carpenter can
now he used to slot, splice. and alter
a fractured part of ones skeleton.
Sometimes a part of the broken bone
is neatly shaped and slid down into
a slot cut into "A part of the fractured
member. Screws Of steel, silver, ivory,
or screws made out of the patients
own skeleton, are used to hold these
tointed pieces firmly in place.
One curious result of these ingeni-
Gus attempts is that of repairing an
injured Jaw. A piece Of bone re-
moved from the edge Of a broken hip
bone was found to serve ~splendidly
when properly fitted into a mans
broken jaw. This man today literally
chews his food with his hip-bone-an
anomalous situation indeed!
Never before in the worlds history
was there such an opportunity for
bone carpentry as that offered by the
war. The knowledge thus gained was
not lost with the coming of peace

TO REMOVE TATTOO MARKS
Modern Science Has Shown II
to Be Practicable.

TattOoing is the mechanical intro
daction of pigments under the skin
and a very well-known process. The
pigments employed are carbon, CHINA
bar, carmine and indigo.
Most methods employed to remove
these marks, says Science and Inven-
ton, are by n ~reactiye and "a destruc-
tive Inflammation which will result
In the formation Of a crust, later cast
off together with tattooed markings.
One method is TO retattoO the marks
with a solution of 80 parts Of zinc
Chord and 40 parts of water. A
mild Inflammation will result a crust
forms and about "A week later this
falls of, leaving a scar which gradual
ly heals. latter a repetition of this
may be necessary. This may be done
by the professional %tattooer.
The second method is TO tattoo
again. making the punctures close to-
gether after the design has been drawn
oyer with "A concentrated solution of
tannin. A stick of silver nitrate is
then firmly drawn over the surface
and after a period of several minutes
il is then wiped off. This is far more
effective than the first and less scar
forms. Two other substances, per.
haps more efficient than either Of the
above, and applied in the same man
ner as the first, are caroid and glyce-
role Of papoid.

CALLED CURSE OF SCOTLAND
Why the MINI of Diamonds Got Bad
Reputation in That Country
Ia Uncertain.

II appears to have been with the
family of the earl of Stair that the
nine Of diamonds got the name of
''The Curse of Ecotland." ON their
armorial coat can be seen the nine
lOzenges.
II was also said that the curse Of
Scotland referred to the belief that
every ninth king of Scotland was n
curse to his country. But on looking
NJ the history of the earl of Stair II IL
found that he is the eldest son of
James Dalrymple, Viscount Stair, the
president of the court of sessions in
Scotland and the greatest lawyer the
country has produced.
This first earl, as Sir John Dal-
rymple, was one of the persons of i'm
portance chosen to offer the crown OF
Scotland TO William and Mary at the
revolution. As secretary Of state he
was the prime instrument In causing
the massacre of Glencoe, which COW
cred his name with infamy, and did
not leave that of his royal master un-
furnished.
He was largely Instrumental in
bringing about the union of Scotland
with England. though he did not live
TO see this effected, dying on January
s, 1907.

OZARK TRAILS MONU-
MENTS BEING ERECTED IN
PECOS VALLEY TOWNS

Contractor Hendrickson and his
force of workmen arrived in Carls-
bad, Wednesday, and Immediately be-
gan work on the erection of the
Ozark Trails monument, at the inter
section of Canyon and Fox streets,
the grade already having been 'es-
tablishcd by the city engineer. The
monument is similar to those which
mark Ozark Trail cities and towns
across the states OF Arkansas, Texas
and Oklahoma, and eventually will be
erected in every place OF importance
through which the highway passes.
Already they have been built in New
Mexico, at Clovis, Roswell, Artesia,
Lakewood, and now at Carlsbad. Al
ter the completion of those at Low
ing and Malaga, the contractor will
go back to Dexter and Hagerman
and mark those towns. The monu-
ments stand twenty-four feet above
the grade line and are constructed of
cement and finished in white enamel,
the shaft resting upon a base six feet
square, upon whose four polished
sides the word Carlsbad" is lettered
The shaft is twenty-one feet high
above the base and the names of the
towns and cities on the Trails are
lettered in green upon its four sides,
with the distance marked in a sim
liar manner, The top of the shaft
or pyramid will have five incandes-
cent lamps, one on top and one on
each of tie four sides. The lighting
of these lamps is the only expense
TO the city of Carlsbad, and as they
will take the place OF the one big arc
lamp formerly used, will entail ~
greater expense than heretofore

from the Forest Service Department OF Agriculture
The successful operation OF pulp and paper mills in
nearby British Columbia, which has practically similar

tation facilities is pointed removing the spccua-

The demand for paper" it continues, "has in
creased to such extent that it has become possible
for we-organized and adequately financed companies
to operate pulp and paper mills an extensive scale
particularly for making print. All indications
point to a continuance OF the demand at prices that
should make possible profitable operations in Alaska
New sources are mperatvey required for the supply
