WHY BROA'D-TIRiBD WMBEDS PAY
(Hoy Stone.)
A wagon going up hill requires more'
force to draw It than when it is moved
on a level. When a win el s!i ks In soft
soil there i.s an elevation of the ground
In front of It equal td the depth of the
sinking. When a narrow wheel sinks
three or four Inches In the ground the
effect is precisely the same as If the
wagon was going up the same Incline
when the broad wheel is use I. but If it
does not sink In the ground this obsta?
cle does not CX.!fit. The surface of the
wheel does not interfere in the lean
with the draft of a wagon even on
solid, hard ground, and it must 1.vl
dent that the broad wheel will not cut
Into a road as a narrow one will, and
thus on soft roads must be easier draft.
By the use of a broad-tired wagon
when a new road Is being laid out. It
will soon bo rolled hard nnd solid, so
that even a narrow-tired wagon will
not cut In, but attempt to make a road
during the average harvest, winter ":?
spring season, will narrow-tired wagons
and the Job w ill usually prove a failure.

YOUNGEST DOCTOR IN TI*E
WORLD.
FIvc-Year-Old Boy Puzzles Physicians
?with His Knowledge of Ana?tomy.
(From the Chicago Tribune.)
Little Willie Gwl'n, of Chicago, is the
only child who holds a certificate of
proficiency in anatomy from professors
of recognized medical colleges. TWough
scarcely five years of ag?, and no taller
than a table, this little tot is perfectly
familiar with the human skeleton and
?the work of -t-he dissecting room. In !
?faot, he has witnessed nearly every cap?
ital operation known Do surgery In the
New York, Louisville, New Orleans and
Chicago hospitals.
The youngster is a marvel of preco?
city, and knows every bone in the hu?
man body, as w-.ll as docs a 'medical
student at his final examination. That
is not all. He can "tell you with c-quul
case and accuracy everything that Is to
be known about the heart structure
and Its complex functions.
Little Willie Gwin has been in Chi?
cago about a year. His father, Howcll
B. Gwin, M. D., is a physician, who,
BJbout that time, located here. To his
?|:r.-ofessional bre'thpen in Chicago he
introduced ih? tot and surprised t'hem
un several occasons by asking them to
question the child about anatomy of
the human body, it was then 'that 'the
IItitle fellow- became a 'pronounced sen?
sation, for Ire .mode his wise questioners
and hearers open their eyes and marvel
that so small a betid could carry and
accurately tell all aWaut osteology, and,
In fact, about the various systems of
(the human body. He is tilready the
talk of the medical circles.
Shortly after coming lo Chicago the
little fellow went to 'the operating
room ptf ithe Bush Medical College with
his faither. There Willie bsjw. Surgeon
General Hamilton perform a difllcult
operation. Ho stood r>y the patient
with the wisdom .and indifference of the
operator himself, and saw everything.
It was an operation for sarcoma ofitho
breast, and the child can now describe
It as well as any surgeon, using Mrs sur?
gical terminology?words as long as an
arm He revels in a dissecting room,
nnd will go among a body of students
or surge ms and manifest the liveliest
Interest In all that is going on.
As nn evidence of the little ifellow's
self-possession in a dissecting room and !
the interest he manifests in a "subject."
Dr. Cwin took him to the morgue In j
Now Orleans. A dead man had just I
been brought In. having been killed by j
a trolley car. The 'body was mangled
?badly, The. frontal bone 'had been )
j crushed 4ti. as well as the superior
j maxillary and molar, the nasal bone
j Hi iiiK broken and twisted awry. The
j depression was large enough to lay the
hand in. Willie was taken to 'the liable
on which the stripped body lay, and
became at once absorbed In examining
the face .wound. Like a surgeon of
years' experience he leaned over the
body and examined the Injuries, lifting
up a bone here and pressing the ifrontal
ami maxillary there. Completing ithe
diagnosis, 'this tot of then four years
was asked by the father the extent of
the'Injuries. To this he readily replied,
explaining each bone crushed and Its
location. The" faither 'then, with a
scalpel, made an incision behind the
leg and demonstrated, by exposing the
main artery, nerve and vein, the func?
tions of the same. The child saw, and
to this day can tell all about it. aug?

Willie Gwin has two certificates of
proficiency in anatomy. One was given
him by Prof. Edmohd Souehon, of the
chair of anatomy. Tulano University,
New Orleans. Prof. Souehon examined
th,. child and certified that he found
him 'the most thorough anatomist, of
his age In osteology and conformation
of the heart.
Another certificate was given him by
P. Rldhard Taylor, M. D., dein of the
Hospital College of Louisville, after" a
careful examination upon the osseous
system and heart. He certifies that he
found Willie the most thoroughly post?
ed child he 4-ver saw or read of, and
believes him to 'be the youngest anato?
mist in the world, being only live and
a halt years old.
The father, Dr. Gwin, told how the
lad came to know so much about ana
lomy, and it appears that Interest in
and acquisition of his knowledge ori?
ginated ratlier accidentally.
"In romping on the bed with him,"
said the father, "not further buk than
when he was three years old, I used
to amuse him by telling him some dif?
ficult names of bones in the body and
taunt him with being unable to repeat
them. Ho very rapidly caught the
words, and, strangely enough, retained
them without any apparent effort. He
then began lei associate the names of
the boms and t'heir location, and it
was not long before he displayed a
considerable knowledge of anatomy.
He knew the bones and could describe
their exact location, not parrot favjiion,
as you have observed, for it matters
not where you locate a bone, ho knows
It.-i name, and it matters not whit
name you call he can point out and
describe the bone's location.
"?ne*d'ay he happened in the ofllce of
a physeiclnn friend of mine, who w is
much interested In the tot's remarka?
ble acquirements, and. more in jos>t
than hi earnest, brought out a piece of
the human skull atid asked the child
whit it was. It was separated from
its adjoining parts In a manner the I
boy had not seen before, but, studying
it a moment, he told Its scientific name
correctly, to'my friend's ?astonish?
ment."
