frightening the ducks from the peas.
Can you imagine the rage of those

Chicago, Feb. s. 8.--(R,-Discovery Of
man without an appendix is an

land Of the Georgeas memorial insti-
tute. He thinks it disproves the be4
lief that all men are created equal,
part for part.
The institute believes the discovery
is important in its bearing upon the
question whether the appendix per-
forms any useful function within the
body. DR.. Dorland thinks the ap-
pendix would not be present so per-
sistently 81 1t did not have q job.
"Complete absence Of the appendix
is rare in man." he explains, "but it
