be both ignorant and fanatical. Why
should we confound the discussion of
a possible future life with religion?
The future life would not necessarily
function on a purely religious plane
any more than the present life A
religious attitude might animate a
man over there" just as il might
animate him here. but there is no
more reason to think that such a life
would Ibe composed of religious in
terests" alone than to contend that
life In New York or Chicago or San
Antonio Is 80 programmed.
Our brains here go on numbers of
curious, wholesome adventures, which
are not of purely spiritual signifi-
canoe. Why should not those older
brains of ours also have their diverse
interests and eccentricities? We are
not necessarily angels after we're
dead as,, We may s still be h the same old
oorned-beef complex and heaven a
long way off.
This insistence on the narrowly re-
ligfous Significance of the future life
proves q grave obstacle to study. II
there is future life we want to know
about 1t and we do not want to be
deferred in our search by supersti-
tious scruples. The contention that
such knowledge would destroy faith
Is such a scruple.
AS a matter of fact, the future life
is only one Of the concerns Of faith
Faith does not depend on any one cir
cumstance. 1t is a general attitude,
which reaches out for help to some
power beyond ourselves. The proof
of immortality should have no more
effect on such an attitude than the
discovery of a cure for cancer
Life must be attacked from many
angles, and the sooner we begin to
attack the subject of future life
from the angle of common sense and
cold science, rather than mysticism,
the sooner we'll arrive at some sane
conclusion.

There's nothing like having some-

Pussy sat in the quiet room and
wept a few weeps and then busted
herself with the reader she had car

her and said: Have you finished
weeping? Are you ready to work
with this class?"
Yes" said Pussy.
Now the weeper wept only for

no sympathy. Withhold the thing he
cries for. Hand him a handkerchief.

to Scotland in that form.
Leoid" was a son of Olave, a
brother of Magnus. the last king Of
Man, for fairly early in the Christian
era the Vikings had conquered and
established themselves along the
western coast of England and Scot
land. His ancestry traced back
through six generations to Harold
the Black, who was king of the
Norsemen about the time the Normans
invaded England.
There are two branches of the clan
he founded, the Macloeds, or, If you
choose to call them so, the two clans.
One of these is known In Gaelic as
"Siol Tormod" (Clan Norman, or Nor
manson), and the other as "Siol Tor

which was the home of the ants.
Everything was as Mrs. Grouse had

angHly running this way and that
way, looking for the enemy who had
disturbed their home. The babies
saw them at once, cf course. Such
bright little eyes couldn't have missed
those scurrying ants.
They gathered around that mound
and then busily fell to picking up
every ant they saw. They ran eagerly
this way and that way, searching for
such ants as had strayed away, and
they missed very few. Such a good
time as they had! And such a feast!

There are many chimneys in and
about the city which are the summer
homes of swifts, and out in the coun-
try there are but few old ones un-
occupied by them. Swifts are pc
culiar in never perching as other
birds do, but hang themselves up
against the brick or stone wall of a
chimney by catching their claws into
crevice and using the short, stiff
tail as a prop.
The nest is a basket of twigs fast
ened together and against the wall
with glutinous saliva. They gather
the material for it on the wing
breaking off dead twigs with beak or
feet The eggs, four to six, are pure
white, as in the hidden home no pro-

TRANSFER SLEEPS
KIDNEY TO WOMAN
DARING ATTEMPT TO SAVE
LIFE MADE BY SURGEONS.
FIRST TIME IN U. S.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The death of
Mrs. Adele Robertson at Bellevue hos
pital on Thursday has been followed
by the disclosure that she had under
gone an unusual kidney operation IN
a desperate attempt to save her life
from the effects of bichloride of mer-
curry poisoning.
The. operation consisted Of trans
planting sleeps kidney into the wo-
mans body. 1t was performed by DR..
Selian Neughof assisted by DIR. Sin
clair Wilhelm and by DIR. Ransom 5.
Hooker. 1t was, perhaps, the first
time that the kidney of an animal ever
had been transplanted into the body
of a human being in this country.
Medical observers of the case report
that the operation itself, technically
considered, was success, but the
progress of the mercury poisoning had
been so great that nothing could coun-
teract it.
Mrs. Robertson was % years old
and was the wife of Edward Robert
son. a real estate man. According to
the history of Mrs. Robertson's case
at Bellevue hospital, she returned
home with her husband late on the
night of December %, after Christ.
mas party, and mistook bottle OF
mercury tablets for calomel tablets.
The usual treatment for mercury
poison failed to improve the woman's
condition. Her kidneys ceased to tunc-
ton and it was apparent she would die
of uraemia unless miracle" OF sur
gery could be performed. DR.. Neughot
was called into consultation, and II
was decided to attempt an organic
transplant.
A sheep, free from disease, was Ia
ken to the laboratory. Before Mrs.
Robertson was taken into the operat-
ing room an incision was made in the
side of the animal, and its right kid
ney was exposed so that it would be
ready for immediate transplanting.
Next Mrs. Robertson, under the IN
fuence of an anesthetic, was moved
into the operating room. An inclslon
was made in her right side while the
animal. sacrificed to medical science,
was held close to her bedside. Then
the. sleeps kidney was removed and
placed in the woman's body:
According to physicians, the object
of the operation was achieyed-that is
to cause the patients blood to circu-
late through the newly acquired or
gan and relieve her own. 1t was SAID
that a day or two after the operation
the woman's kidneys, which previous
" had failed to function, began to do
so again, although slightly. The trans
planted kidney also began to junction
slightly, but the effect of the bichlo-
ride had gone too far to wholly coun-
teract.
