SAFFORD, GRAHAM LIVING WITHOUT BRAINS. Remarkable Cause of the Victim of a Accident. Tho caso of a man living with tho top of his head cut off and tho brain cavity almost empty is agitating surgeons of Grand Rapids and vicinity. Somo timo ago Charles Olson attempted to board a moving train, but missed his footing and fell under tho wheels. His head was crushed so that over half of tho brains fell out, and when tho injured man was picked up it was supposed that ho was dead. All arrangomonts wore mado for tho funeral, but just boforo tho coffin was closed tho undertaker noticed tho movements of tho supposed dead man's oyelids and had tho body taken from tho caskot and placed in bed. Surgons Avere called and thoy declared that Olscn was not dead, but simply in a stato of coma. By tho use of eletricity tho surgeons managed to arouse him to a considerable extent. It was supposed that ho could but last but a moment or two as thero was nothing in tho brain cavity excopt a few shreds of gray matter, but in a short timo tho patient began to improve. Ho cold not speak, but scorned to comprehend all that was going on around him. His recovery was rapid and today ho can sit up in bed and say a few words. Olsen does not romorabor anything in regard to himself prior to tho accident, nothing of his past life and at first did not oven know his own name. Tho surgeons will have Olscn examined by eastern specialists, in order to find how it is ho is living, when according to all surgical rules ho should bo dead. A silver plato was put on Olson's head and ho is doing nicely. Ho complains frequently that ho can feel nothing and that nothing ho cats has any taste. Ho has lost nearly fifty pounds since he was hurt. Deseret News. Will Tay in Silver. Now that suspension of hostilities has been directed between China and Japan, thero is a renewal of interest as to tho terms of pcaco to follow. While there is no definite information on tho subject at Chi- jieso legation, that tho money indommty will bo paid largely in silver. That is tho metal in common use in China. Those most familiar with China say that thero is no gold in circulation, although that country has horetoforo purchased largo supplies of gold bars and from this accumulation has mado heavy gold exports.
