He began to build It some weeks ago when a little girl twelve year* old whose no*.e for the moat part oad made way with Itself presented her diminutive person at Cook County hoi pose of recounting li surgical masters therein and of securing their magical assistance In bewitching a substitute into etlatence. The only evidence of a nose which the twelve-rcnr-old had at that time was an aperture In her face- On each aide were the vestiges of the nasal walls and wings. Today the noseless maiden U no longer noseless. A flesh and blood organ much resembling the missing part, nourished by the same blood that courses through every other part of her physique. Is proudly occupying the cnee deserted site for a little girl * nose. It has a bridge, nostrils, properly outlined walls, and adapts Itself charmingly to purposes and breathing without causing Its owner any dlssgteeable rensaf ons. The price paid by the heroine for the new article was the small finger of her left hand. That was the build Ing material for the doctor in erecting the new nose. The little fleger of her left hand was planted In the nasal criflce. Us tip was cut off. the finger Inserted, and held In place by means of a plaster of parts cast for two

weeks.

The cast was then removed, tha finger severed from the hand, trimmed up. and sewed to the rudiments of nasal flaps to fotm the nostrils The band was' then neatly trimmed diagonally to avoid as far as passible the appearance of deformity, so that, despite Its lack of one finger. It presents a symmetrical appearance. Although perfectly satisfactory, as far as it goes, the work is not entirely completad and will probably require several additional operations in order to achieve the perfect symmetry

sought.

The surgeons who had the noseless little maiden in keeping were Dr. W. E. Schroeder. who performed the operation; Dr. Wenatrom, head resident physician of the Cook County hospital, and several others. The first etep to.be taken in creating the new nose was the preparation of the little girl’s face. This was bathed for four or five minutes with green soap and sterile wRter. followed by a bath liy^alcohol, bichloride of mercury and other chemicals, and again with sterile water, rendering it thoroughly clean and antiseptic. The edges of ihe nasal cavity were then "freshened." made raw to prepare them for contact with the growth to the finger. The skin was cut away and an Incision made along the free .border- A vertical Incision extending up along the nasal bones was then made, the skin drawn back and thi tip end of the nasal bone laid bare. This was also to prepare a fit place for the little flnget to grow after It had been inserted. t The nasal cavity was now packed with gauze. This was a pre.-antion taken against the access of blcod Ti: oilier portions of the body, panic jlarly the lungs, where pneumonia or some other disorder might resu’t in consequence. Before the operation was started the little finger of the left hand had to submit to some treatmeqj., *Th« presence of the nail at the tip made lavallable for service. . The flngT

Tne blood vedSel* of the little finger poured their red stream* Into the vessel* of the face, the current* of the fate crept up to meet tboae of the nose. By the end of a lortnlght they had established perfectly harmonious telatlons with each ether and set la operation a ayatemat1c order of communication. It was now time for the aecond operation. severing the little finger from its old assoc In tlons and completely adapting It to the new aervlce awaiting It The patient was put to sleep. Thl* wa* done before the cast was removed, to Prevent—any possible movement on her patref the liberat-

ed hand and arm.

The cast was now sawed off and the little finger of the left hand, which had been sewed to the nasal cavity at the previous operation, was amputated at the middle or "metacarpal" Joint. Henceforth It was a nose. It was trimmed up and seved to the fragmentary wings of the note so as to Induce a proper contour. The nose was pricked with a needle to test the blood supply. K bled, indicating

healthy activity.

The hand was then neatly trimmed Into shape and sewed as the final feature of the operation. The little girl finds ner finger In Its now sphere of life a most '•onvenient and serviceable member. It submit* gracefully to the acts of breathing and ineezlng. and as time progresses promires to assume greater and greater comeliness. The surgeon's knife has not yet attaineo the lightning rapidity In Its metamorpeoTs es that of the fairyland wizard s wand, and does not pretend to be able to cast such an enchantment over even the prettiest lit^e finger in the world a*: to enable It Instantly to convert Uscfil Into a nose of marked beauty.

The sqakes feed In the edges of the lake during the evening, and as soon as an effort would be made to water the horse at a certain place they would make a charge on that particular place, wriggling in from the lake in great numbers. They seemed to resent it as an encroachment upon their rights, and no amount of ’shooing' or chunking would drive them away. They would simply choke the drinking place. I have seen this same thing happen a number of times. Of cdurae. it would be necessary to take the horse elsewhere for watering purposes. They are extremely poisonous, and I have heard of many Instances where the moccasin's bite killed animals. Dogs In that part of the country frequently die as the result of being bitten by a water moccasin. They are not bad about running away when they are In a flock. In fact, the running had better be on the other side. If it happens to be either near the beginning or at the end of the snake season, for they really seem to be more vicious and more petulant, If I may say. at the extremes of the season than at other times. 1 suppose there is some-natural reason tor the fact.

Tti« Mimicry at Animal*.

The working of the law of natura’ selection in providing for the projection of animal life from the many enemies which beset It was 11 unrated to' an interesting manner by Professor £. B. Poulton In hla lecture at the Royal Institution upon mimicry In insects. By means of lantern tildes he showed the remarkable superficial resemblances that have been developed between dlfferstt species of butterflies. The typ* that Is tha subject of mimicry’ varies with the surroundmgB and climate of the particular country; Indeed, there U much evidence to show that - all insects In given areas tend to adopt a ccrtafn type of coloring for protective purposes. This natural mimicry Is peculiarly well marked in the cass of South American butterflies. Among a large number o' different species a certain dominant pattern prevails, but the coloring varies, and often rather sharply, from district to district. One Ameri-an butterfly furnishes a peculiarly intelligent example of mimicry, the outer surface of Its wings, resembling a dead leaf, while the Innei and more hidden surface retains the proper markings.—liondon Chronicle.

Stiow Tb»« tha FI rat Born Chlldraa Ura tha Loneaat. "Not only life insurance experts, but a great many other people also have observed that longevity or the reverse runs In families." said an Insurance man. “Some persons hare hardier constitutions than others and they are apt to transmit then to their children. A man both of whose parents were long lived has a promise of a good old age himself. This, of course. Is an old story. A much less famlilsr principle affecting the duration of life ha*, been presented by Miss Marv Ueeton of Cambridge and Prof. Karl Pearson of London In a brief periodical called Blometrlka. “A comparison was made between the lengths of the Uvea of two adult brothers or two adult sisters to ascertain If there was a perceptible difference between the older and younger members of a pair. The figures here given represent the average of over 1000 cases, and heace would seem to point to a general law. It may he added that the particular persons under investigation belonged to the Society of Friends. That organization placed Its records at the disposal of Miss Beeton and Prof. Pearson. "It thus appearr that the average age of the elder brothers was tg.'i* year*, the younger brothers. 54,575; the elder sisters. 59.924. and the younger sister*. 55 667. There Is a difference of over four years in favor of the older brother or sister. This does not signify that the older brother or sister will survive the younger. The mean Interval between the births of all the pairs under consideration was about six and a half year*. Hence the older brothe: or sister would ordinarily die jilni "The first Inquiry was limited to pairs, the younger member* of which hud attained the nge of 21. A second comparison was made that Included minors with adults. It gave results closely resembling the other. The moan excess of life In S85 » pairs wss 4.6 years. But the Intervals between the births appeared to exert some Influence- Biometrika's contributors furnish a formula hr which one's expectations can be computed. dnd adds: Thus a brother born 10 years before another brother has probably eevea years’ greater duration of life. A sister born 10 years before another sister has probably about six years’ greater dura*ioa ol life.”—uxivwton News.
