Unsatisfactory Results Attending Operation ou Iloy. • • A recent despatch from Paris says that Doctor Moreau of St. Etienne bas published notes of the results of an operation to restore the sight of an eight-year-old boy. The boy lead double cataracts from birth, and could hardly distinguish day from night. But he got the con- eoioUsness of exterior objects by the sharpening of his other senses to such a degree that he could distin- guish the different cows in his fa- ther's stable merely by hearing them walk about in the barnyard. After the operation, the boy spent eight days in a dark room.. Then light was admitted, and every one anxiously awaited the boy's first im- pressions; but he said nothing, and only tittered " a few inarticulate, cries. The new sensations seemed to be eoirfusing, if not actually pain- ful. After e few days more in the clack room, he was allowed free sight again ; but he showed no emo- tion, and said that he slid not know what various objects were with which he was perfectly familiar pre- viously by touch. He only recognized the hand of the surgeon when he took it into his own, could tell wine only by smell- , ing it, and so forth. It was some time before he acquired the sense of color, but as soon as he did so, it seemed of supreme importance, incl overshadowed everything else. Everything that he saw was "black" or "white," according to whether it was turned toward the "yie;ht or otherwise, and he deeom- posed everything he saw into color points, like a silver -point artist. Fifteen months after liawas in the hospital he had not yet learned to read, in spite of the 'assiduous ef- forts of the nursing Sister to teach him the alphabet., His father then ars took him hoe. A year later, when Dootor Moreau saw Trim there, he had lost nnost of the ideas he had gained in the hospital without •5)e quiring many new ones. The case is extr:aordinu.ry at all points, and the patient seems less able to enjoy life than When he was 'totally blind.

Oxford Graduate Will Command E:vpedilion Into Siberia Miss Maury Czaplicka, a Polish girl, and a native of Warsaw, Rus- sia, is about to set out in charge of a scientific expedition to Siberia, sent thither by the University of Oxford. Her companions are Eng- lish. "I spent several years in the depths of Russia, where I was obliged to earn my living by giving Polish lessons in the houses of Pol- ish immigrants during the revolu- tion," the young woman said when asked why she was made chief of the party. "I have always taken a deep interest in anthropology and managed to find out some interest- ing details about the native Siber- ian tribes which I set before the authorities at Oxford when 1 was able to go there to study. "The human anatomy department of Oxford University was so pleased with my report last year that it offered to send me in olrarge of an expedition to inquire into the oris gin of native Siberian tribes, of which very little is known." Miss Czaplicka was educated in Warsaw and at Somerville College, Oxford. She was -the first Polish student to be received at Oxford on thestrength of English scholar- ships.

Curious Custom Is Enforced In Italian Tillage. There is a village in Italy, Alezio, near 13elluno, where young Wren are not allowed to snake love• before they have served their time in the army, This custom dates from time immemorial, and it is based on the experience that young men often forget the girls they promise to marry before they go soldiering. Lovemaking at Alezio is conse- quently only allowed to Wren over 21, who are expected to enforce the custom and see that the rule is not broken, A young man of 19 who was caught. making love to a girl in a secluded street of the village was mobbed .recently, and as he showed fight, despite the fact that practically all the villagers turned cut to throw stories at the young couple, he was shot at close range and mortally' wounded, Although the aline was committed in the p30803300 of 300 people not one per - ton could be persuaded to give in- formation to the police, so that the man who enforced the village ens - tem will probably go free.

Is Used In All English Cities—Also in Europe. It has been stated that creosoted wood blocks would make the ideal - pavement if the following faults could, be eliminated: (1) The ten- dency to expand, resulting in bulg- ing, and sometimes upheaval of the pavement, discoloration of curbs, etc. ; (2) slipperiness; (3) bleeding of oil. Of all the woad pavements that I saw m London, Paris, Berlin and other places, none exhibited any of the foregoing defects with the ex- ception of two or three slight bulges noticed fn London, writes an expert in the Engineering News. Creosoted wood is the most highly esteemed paving material in the hnglicli,cities. In tenof the twenty- eight boroughs constituting the city of London, and comprising the most thickly populated section of the: city, the total mileage of creo- soted wood block in 1012 was 121. Liverpool has about 150,000 square yards; Birkenhead, 95,000 square yards. In fact, all English cities of over 50,000 population have wood paved streets, and in most cases these are the principal thorough- fares. There is not much wood -block paving in Berlin, but a condition which seems rather remarkable ex- ists in that on streets paved with asphalt, wood -block paving is used where the grade beoomes too steep and the asphalt will prove unduly slippery. Most of the approaches to bridges are paved with creosoted wood -block. This city has probably the finest sheet asphalt paving in the world. The wood paving is rough and comparatively noisy. Creosoted wood -block paving in Paris is more noticeable for quan- tity than it is for quality. The re port of the Chief Engineer of Bridges and Streets of Paris, at the London ]toad Congress, stated that the average life of the hardwood paving was six years.

Interesting experiments with a new anesthetic have been conduct- ed aL the Cambridge laboratory. The substance, which,is culled Urethane, is a combination' urea and alcohol. It is administered by- poderntically, and drowsiness soon becomes a very deep unconscious- ness, and insensibility to pain is complete. There is perfect security when it is used in any operation. The advantage claimed for the new anesthetic is that heart failttr•e ne- ver occurs when it is properly used, while a majority of the deaths from clllurs,forrnare due to heart fail- ure. When the breathing stops, as it frequently clues, during the ad- ministration of an inhaled anesthe- tic, it 05)31 usually be started again by artificial respiration, provided always that the heart is still beat- ing, The assurance, therefore, that in eases of an overdose of this anesthetic the breathing would be affected before the heart will be elf immense comfort to surgeons and anesthetists. Another advantage is that the choking sensation experienced with ether and chloroform is not present. Moreover, after urethane there is no sickness, and thus the danger of stitches giving way and ligatures slipping off during retching is avoided. A disadvantage is that experimenters have not yet been able to reduce the period of insen- sibility below six hours. All the operations up to the present have been made on animals.

Oli1y Few of Those Presented Are Invited to Functions. Presentation at court is, of course, a desirable thing, but the stories printed in the Loudon gos- sip papers about tho privileges it confers—such as at least one royal invitation in the year for the state ball—do not in fact accompany it. The ordinary presentation at court has no further results than theappearance of the names of the presented in the following morn- ing's papers. Without having been presented, however, no one can be invited to meet royalty, The names of all prevented people are inscrib- ed at the Lord Chamberlain's office, and from this book the formal list of State invitations are compiled, but -the list by no means includes all whose names are recorded.
