Man WhoseEyes
Are Turning to
Stone Discovered
OssifcatiOn Case Is
Held First Of
Its Kind.

Ps the Associated Press.
PASADENA, Calf. Aug. 31.-A man
whose eyes are turning to stone was
examined in closed session Of the
Western Assembly of the College of
Syntonic Optometry here yesterday
DR.. Russell E. Simpson OF Pasadena
said only II cases of ossification have
been recorded in medical history, and
this patient is the only one known to
have been afflicted in the eyes.
DR.. Simpson said the ailment is due
to overactivity of the para-thyroid
gland, causing transfer Of calcium from
the bones to soft tissues Of the body.
Mr.. T." he said. has been a victim
of the disease since 1888. suffering con-
slant irritation of the eyes. Complete
ossifcation may take 10 to IS years.
DR.. Simpson did not say the extent
to which Mr.. rs" vision is limited.
The only known cure is reported to be
surgical removal Of the para-thyroid
gland.

Natures Children

long coat hanaska, the short one
kumbi.
The Incas dyed both types of wool
in brilliant, lasting colors, and wove
them into fine blankets and cloth.
Alpaca wool was introduced into Eng
land several centuries ago. The late
Sir Titus Salt built fine mills at
Bradford for the manufacture of the
wool into cloth. The fine grade of
material became famous for its beauty
and durability.
The alpaca has one baby at birth.
The flesh Of the young alpacas is In
great demand. as 1t is said to be more
tender and better favored than the
meat Of the llama. The baby looks
like a woolly teddy bear and stands
steady when only few hours old.
The alpaca carries itself with great
dignity. and some have claimed, even
with y shaughtiness. However, it has
far better manners than its complain
ing cousin, the llama, which pretends
1t is so weary when it has to carry
a human upon its back that it even
turns about and yawns in the riders
face. The moist breath is sent out
vigorously, being most offensive in
odor and distressing to the unsuspect-
ing recipient of the insult.
Many attempts have been made on
the part of stockmen to acclimate the
alpaca to other countries. 1t has
been a costly experiment. These
creatures like to be undisturbed, to
enjoy their family's company, and
they must be where other animals
cannot reach them, especially those
that would frighten and wound them
Most of the climates where the alpaca
has been introduced were too damp
for them. 1t is believed that Aus
tralia would suit them admirably,
though of the several hundred intro
duced many years ago, numbers OF
them died. Since then better results
have been obtained.

Ry LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

T'HE true ancestor Of the alpaca is
the guanaco, an animal found in the
south of Patagonia. The alpaca and
llama have been bred from IT. for
domestication. The alpaca is the
smaller of the two animals, and it is
bred for the sake of the beautiful fine
wool of very dark brown or black,
which serves its owner as a coat, but
is also in great demand among humans
for the same purpose. So long and
fine is this woolly coat that its value
may be estimated at a glance by
buyers trading in this type of WOOL

With plane for installing a O. ton pilot mill on lode property in the Kantishna district about 95 miles from Mckinley Park Station, Cliff Hawkins, stopping at the Gas tineau Hotel, is confident he and his partner, Ernest Fransen, have big proposition.

There are five veins, three containing free milling ore, and sur face showings and cross cutting in- dicate the ore body is large enough to warrant installation of a ball mill in the near future to determine the milling possibilities, said Hawkins today.
 According to Hawkins, Tom Ait kens took out 1900 tons of ore from veins on the property shortly after the war and shipped it by team and boat to St. Michael and Outside at cost of $50 a ton, and received Sl80 a ton for the ore at the smell ter
